Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 178 He offered you five million to leave me?
"You won't." Huo Jingcheng's tone was casual yet certain, one hand in his pocket, chin raised, looking directly at Su Mingyan.

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyan's eyes flickered. He stood casually, his thin lips twitching slightly, neither confirming nor denying, "You seem quite confident?"

It wasn't that Huo Jingcheng was confident; it was more based on his understanding of Su Mingyan.

……

In the end, just as Huo Jingcheng had said, Su Mingyan did not lay a hand on him.

The Maybach restarted and drove away from Building 7 first. In the quiet of the night, the sound of an engine rang out, and then the car drove out of the parking lane and slowly drove away from the community.

Watching the Maybach's taillights disappear around the corner, Huo Jingcheng raised his hand, flicked his fingertips at the collar of his suit, and then carefully smoothed out the wrinkles that Su Mingyan had clenched, so that Su Ruoyun wouldn't notice.

He paused for a few seconds, as if to regain his senses, then strode leisurely into the stairwell.

When Huo Jingcheng entered the door with the password, Su Ruoyun was sitting on the carpet in the living room, absentmindedly petting the kitten. The kitten seemed a little impatient with her petting and let out a few soft "meows".

After all, Su Ruoyun had just dragged her out of her soft little nest.

Even late at night, cats are forced to keep working.

Upon seeing Huo Jingcheng, 'Panda' immediately broke free from Su Ruoyun's grasp, tilted its head to the side, and then excitedly pounced over on its short legs, circling around his long legs and wagging its tail excitedly.

Seeing this, Huo Jingcheng curled his lips, bent down, and picked up 'Panda'. The kitten rested its fluffy head on his forearm and rubbed against his arm.

Huo Jingcheng also stroked its fur; the soft, delicate long fur had an indescribably pleasant feel.

He carried the cat in his arms and strolled leisurely to the sofa, where he sat down lazily, idly stroking the cat's back. There was no indication that he had just experienced something downstairs.

Su Ruoyun put her phone back on the coffee table, leaned forward, and lightly touched his hand with her fingertips across the sofa armrest, tentatively asking, "You two didn't fight, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingcheng freed one hand, took her small hand in his own, and kneaded it back and forth in his palm. Instead of answering, he asked, "Judging from your tone, you actually hope we'll fight?"

"What kind of tone is that?" Su Ruoyun bit her lip, then pouted, looking pitiful.

Seeing her like this inexplicably cheered Huo Jingcheng up a little. He then put the 'panda' on the sofa next to him, and picked up the poor but cute 'little rabbit' on the ground and put it on his lap.

Su Ruoyun, who was sitting on his lap, nuzzled his neck and asked softly, "Why did my brother suddenly come to my apartment?"

He even made a special trip to wait for me downstairs...

Her eyes flickered slightly, her gaze lingering on the elegant buttons on Huo Jingcheng's chest, her fingers unconsciously curling.

"I don't know." Huo Jingcheng pulled Su Ruoyun back onto the sofa, his right hand resting on her waist, letting her lean limply against him. He sighed, "Aren't you going to comfort your boyfriend?"

Su Ruoyun absentmindedly wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her cheek against his, asking, "What are you trying to comfort me about?"

"He gave you five million to leave me?"

"..." Huo Jingcheng.

Seeing that he remained silent, Su Ruoyun raised an eyebrow, stepped back, and observed his expression from a distance before continuing to ask, "Is there?"

"No," Huo Jingcheng said.

"That's good, why are you sad?"

As she spoke, Su Ruoyun picked up her phone from the coffee table, skillfully swiped into the WeChat app, and sent Su Mingyan a flattering emoji, only to receive a bright red exclamation mark in return.

She sighed, leaned against Huo Jingcheng, and then found Jiang Xihan's WeChat. After a brief chat, she asked Jiang Xihan to help comfort Su Mingyan. Su Ruoyun only said that she had angered Su Mingyan without elaborating on the reason. Jiang Xihan was not a gossipy person and did not pursue the matter further. After replying with an "okay," she called Su Mingyan.

After everything was done, Su Ruoyun quietly rested her head on Huo Jingcheng's shoulder, paused for a moment, and then Huo Jingcheng picked her up and carried her to the bedroom to wash up.

……

In the middle of the night, a light drizzle began to fall in Beijing.

When Huo Jingcheng slowly woke up, there was no one beside him. The curtains on his right were swaying slightly, and the lingering sound of rain outside could be heard into the room. A cool breeze rustled the leaves.

He slowly lifted the covers and got up. As he walked around the foot of the bed, he casually lifted the light purple silk robe draped over the vintage and exquisite bench at the foot of the bed.

As he expected, Huo Jingcheng had just stepped onto the balcony when he saw a slender figure under the parasol. Su Ruoyun was wearing only a thin nightgown, her porcelain-white calves and arms exposed, her figure outlined by the wind.

On a hot summer night, the temperature is around 20°C in the early morning, and with the cool breeze and rain, it feels rather cold.

Huo Jingcheng walked up behind Su Ruoyun and draped his robe over her shoulders.

The moment the robe was put on, Su Ruoyun felt warmth. She withdrew her gaze from the distance, gently pressed the robe with her left hand, and turned around to look back.

Huo Jingcheng carefully adjusted her bathrobe, then stroked her slightly cool forearm. Feeling the cold, he immediately pulled Su Ruoyun into his arms.

The two embraced quietly in the rainy night.

……

Half an hour later, Su Ruoyun was carried into the bedroom by Huo Jingcheng to rest.

Exhausted, Su Ruoyun fell asleep very quickly. She turned over in bed and unconsciously curled up to the other side, sharing the same pillow with Huo Jingcheng. She leaned against the man's neck, her left hand clutching the hem of his pajamas, refusing to let go.

His breathing was long and deep; he was sleeping soundly.

Huo Jingcheng looked down at her, seeing how she depended on him so completely, and his heart softened involuntarily.

The rain had gradually stopped. It was nearly three in the morning, and the pale blue sky outside could be vaguely seen, as if dawn was approaching.

Huo Jingcheng reached out to cover Su Ruoyun with the blanket, tucked the corner of the blanket in, went to the balcony and lit a cigarette, his handsome face with sharp features hidden behind the bluish-white smoke.

The temperature dropped after the rain, and the air was filled with a damp smell.

After finishing his cigarette, Huo Jingcheng didn't stay on the balcony any longer to avoid disturbing Su Ruoyun. He deliberately let the smoke linger on his body until the cool breeze dissipated the pungent woody smell before returning to the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, only a floor lamp was lit, illuminating a corner of the wooden floor.

Huo Jingcheng pulled the curtains shut, completely blocking out the darkness.

He looked at Su Ruoyun's peaceful sleeping face beside him, lowered his head, touched her smooth forehead with his thin lips, and fell asleep with her.

……

The next day, unlike the rain in the early morning, the weather cleared up.

When Su Ruoyun woke up, she was alone on the large bed; Huo Jingcheng was no longer beside her.

I made an appointment with Li Wenye this morning. After she finished breakfast, she set off for the teahouse.
