Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 177 Was that email you sent?

At 10 p.m., the night wind was fierce, blowing so hard it hurt, and the warmth made people irritable.

If the Kawasaki Ninja H2 is like a wolf crouching and resting, then the Maybach is like a tiger poised to pounce. The two cars faced off silently in the darkness, only the Maybach's two headlights casting a bright beam that illuminated the three figures, leaving them nowhere to hide.

The two tall men stood facing each other at a distance that was neither too close nor too far. Their eyes met briefly, and between the glint of blades and the shadows of blood, there was a sharpness and edge to their gazes.

Like a faint spark, just a tiny spark could ignite the entire silence.

Su Ruoyun looked up and half of her body went limp and fell into Huo Jingcheng's arms. Unable to support herself, she put her right hand on Huo Jingcheng's forearm and barely managed to stay upright.

This time, it's not like the last time in the family compound, nor is it like the time at the 'Yichuan Tobacco' teahouse...

Her repeated successes led her to mistakenly believe that everything would proceed as she wished, that she could resolve the 'conflict' between Su Mingyan and Huo Jingcheng smoothly, and then publicly reveal her relationship with Huo Jingcheng.

But reality was far from as 'perfect' as she imagined, and things didn't always go as planned.

Huo Jingcheng stroked her soft hair with his palm, the smooth touch holding her firmly in his arms. His expression was as calm as the sea, but his deep eyes revealed a hint of unfathomable depth.

The voice that spoke was deep and reassuring: "You go up first."

Su Mingyan was in a fit of anger, and the current situation was not suitable for explanation or confession.

If things were to actually come to blows, it would be even more inappropriate for Su Ruoyun to be present.

Su Ruoyun held Huo Jingcheng's slender yet strong wrist, and squeezed out a sentence from the corner of her lips, saying softly, "Don't do it."

"I know."

She wrapped one arm around Huo Jingcheng's waist; the mature man's back was straight, exuding a sense of stability and reliability.

not far away.

Seeing the two of them so affectionate, Su Mingyan chuckled softly, his lips twitching slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

He watched from the sidelines like a spectator, knocking a cigarette out of the pack, putting it to his thin lips, and then pulling out a custom-made silver lighter from his suit pocket.

He lightly held the cigarette butt in one hand, picked up a lighter with the other, and with a "clink," slid it sideways to strike a spark, lighting a thin cigarette.

Su Mingyan took a deep drag of his cigarette, withdrew his gaze from the two whispering figures, tilted his head back, and casually stared at the streetlights beside the road.

As the strong nicotine filled his lungs, he slowly exhaled, and the pale blue veins on his left hand, which was holding the cigarette, stood out prominently.

A cigarette burned silently, the bluish-white smoke swirling and rising from his fingertips, the black and white ash slowly drifting down. The expression hidden behind the smoke was indifferent, carrying Su Mingyan's scrutiny and appraising gaze.

Meanwhile, even though Su Ruoyun was still worried, she knew she couldn't change the current situation, so she slowly walked towards the stairwell, one step at a time.

The bright moonlight shone down, illuminating her path. The night breeze blew, lifting her long, loose hair, and her shadow on the ground gradually lengthened.

Approaching Su Mingyan, Su Ruoyun obediently called out "Brother," placing her hands in front of her and fidgeting with her fingers.

Su Mingyan ignored her, only turning his head to look at the streetlight. The dim yellow light enveloped his whole body, giving off a vague sense of loneliness, like the desolation after being betrayed and deceived.

Seeing this, Su Ruoyun silently turned around and glanced at Huo Jingcheng. When Huo Jingcheng nodded at her, she pursed her lips and then continued walking into the stairwell.

The sound of high heels clicked away, gradually fading into the distance. Once Su Ruoyun's figure disappeared into the stairwell, Su Mingyan flicked his wrist, decisively tossing the half-smoked cigarette at his feet. He stepped forward with his leather shoe, his toe grinding the still-sparkling cigarette butt.

The movements were ruthless, grinding back and forth as if the cigarette butt was being "tortured" like Huo Jingcheng.

The hand still holding the lighter tightened its grip, the metal lighter cool to the touch, yet faintly warm from being struck. In an instant, Su Mingyan slipped the lighter into his pocket, took a few steps forward, and stopped a step away from Huo Jingcheng, facing him directly.

Huo Jingcheng was about to speak when the wisps of hair on his forehead trembled in the wind.

In an instant, Su Mingyan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Huo Jingcheng's collar. Huo Jingcheng was caught off guard and let him pull his collar, staggering forward awkwardly a few times.

Su Mingyan pulled him in front of her without any mercy; the two were about the same height.

When their eyes met.

"When did it happen?"

"Early June," Huo Jingcheng said truthfully.

For a whole month, he was kept in the dark by the two's pretense of "not being familiar" with each other. Su Mingyan laughed in anger, the corners of his lips curving up, but without a trace of warmth.

He let out a deep sigh, closed his eyes slightly, and consciously released his grip, taking a step back.

a long time.

Su Mingyan gradually calmed down from his fluctuating emotions, his face expressionless, like a bottomless pool.

He gazed into Huo Jingcheng's dark eyes and understood everything.

Su Mingyan suddenly spoke, his voice low and carrying an undeniable air: "That email, you sent it, didn't you?"

As his words fell, all was silent except for the chirping of cicadas, which echoed clearly between the two of them.

Su Mingyan did not specify which email it was, but she was inexplicably certain that Huo Jingcheng must know about it.

Huo Jingcheng parted his thin lips slightly, "Half and half."

He had Min Qinwen deliver it to Hengfeng, but it never passed through his hands, and he didn't know its contents.

"Does Su Ruojun know?"

Su Mingyan addressed her by her full name, clearly indicating his extreme dissatisfaction with his own sister.

Huo Jingcheng truthfully replied, "I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyan raised his chin coldly, his handsome face expressionless, his expression icy and piercing: "Are you scheming against her, or against me?"

Huo Jingcheng lowered his eyelids and hesitated for a moment.

His jet-black eyes lifted slightly, his eyelids fluttering as he looked ahead, but ultimately chose to tell the truth:

"...all of them."

At this point, Huo Jingcheng became even more open and honest.

On the one hand, Su Ruoyun's reluctance to make it public made him "unfit for the spotlight"; on the other hand, the "grudge" between him and Su Mingyan also needed to be resolved.

This step is crucial to gaining Su Mingyan's approval of his relationship with Su Ruoyun.

Su Mingyan seemed to be amused by his words, but after laughing, her expression turned icy, and she spoke clearly, word by word.

"You really think I wouldn't dare hit you?"
