Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 64 The Domineering Su Ruoyun, My Wife

The auction was long and tedious. Su Jiayi had no interest in the jewelry, antiques, or paintings. He couldn't stay in the private room and idly played with his phone. After a while, he got up and said to Su Ruoyun beside him, "Sister, I'm going out for a bit."

Su Ruoyun nodded, and then Su Jiayi gently closed the door to the private room, leaving her alone inside.

Halfway through the auction, the Spanish olive tree that Su Ruojun wanted to bid on came up. A scrolling display screen on the wall showed the bidding prices of the item.

The people present weren't interested in the saplings, so she casually entered a price on her tablet and bought the saplings without much effort. Afterward, she sent a message to Peng Ran and left everything else to him.

After receiving Peng Ran's reply, Su Ruoyun realized that the private room was empty. Why hadn't the two of them returned after being gone for so long?

More than half an hour later, the auction came to an end. All the items had been sold, and some items failed to sell. The auction banquet was next. Su Mingyan and Su Jiayi had not yet returned. Su Ruoyun did not want to stay here any longer, so she got up and left the private room.

As soon as I stepped outside, I bumped into a man wearing a black shirt.

She pretended not to see Huo Jingcheng, not even bothering to greet him, and walked straight past the tall man standing at the door without glancing at him.

Once outside, in the winding corridor on the second floor, Su Ruoyun soon noticed someone behind her, following her at a leisurely pace.

She stopped, turned her head and glanced at Huo Jingcheng, who was half a step up, and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingcheng raised an eyebrow, casually placed his right hand on the stair railing, and tapped it rhythmically with his long fingers. With a hint of amusement in his eyes, he slowly and deliberately asked, "Your art center?"

"Of course not," Su Ruoyun frowned slightly.

Before she could speak, Huo Jingcheng's lips curled into a faint smile. Knowing the answer, he still insisted on continuing, "You've become so domineering. It's one thing that you won't let me come to your teahouse, but now you won't even let me walk down other people's spiral staircases."

Su Ruoyun couldn't help but explain, "I didn't stop you from leaving, I just..."

Huo Jingcheng's eyebrows curved almost imperceptibly, his eyes full of mockery. He drew out an "Oh" meaningfully, deliberately cutting her off: "So you just want me to follow behind you."

"..." Su Ruoyun.

The girl had delicate and pretty features, and her round almond-shaped eyes stared straight at him, even her eye-rolling seemed like a coquettish pout.

She lightly gripped the hem of her skirt, turned around, ignored the man behind her, and quickly walked down a few steps. She walked so fast that her skirt fluttered, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

A woman walked slowly towards her. Afraid of bumping into her, Su Ruoyun subconsciously slowed her pace.

As the two passed each other, under the dim light of the wall lamp, she could see the woman's face clearly; it was Miss Jiang.

Su Ruoyun nodded slightly, gesturing to her.

Jiang Xihan also nodded politely to Su Ruoyun.

Jiang Xihan heard footsteps approaching from afar and instinctively looked up. Upon seeing the man's handsome face, she greeted him.

Huo Jingcheng, with his hands in his pockets, lazily took one step at a time, and nodded slightly to greet you.

After Jiang Xihan's figure disappeared from the stairwell, Su Ruoyun stood there, thoughtfully rolling her eyes, and asked Huo Jingcheng, who was half a step away, "Do you know her?"

"Yes, a classmate from middle school."

classmate?

Su Ruoyun then thought of something: "You and she were classmates in middle school, then she and my brother..." "They were also classmates in middle school, in the same grade but different classes."

When Su Mingyan was mentioned, Su Ruoyun always had a question in her mind.

Why are there rumors that your relationship with my brother is so bad?

Huo Jingcheng slowed his pace, lowered his head, and stared at the pattern of the carpet on the stairs. He spoke casually yet meaningfully, "Want to know the answer?"

After hesitating for a long time, Su Ruoyun nodded, feigning modesty.

"But……"

He turned his head with interest, glanced at her sideways, stared at Su Ruoyun for a few moments, his gaze filled with amusement, and deliberately dragged out his words, clearly saying each one: "The answer, I will only tell my wife."

"..." Su Ruoyun.

This time, Su Ruojun really ignored him and went straight to the lobby on the first floor. She took a glass of champagne from the silver tray held by the waiter, and the clear glass reflected a dazzling luster under the light.

Holding a wine glass, she strolled aimlessly through the exhibition area. She brought the rim of the glass to her lips, took a small sip of champagne, and turned around. In the center of the display case in front of her was a necklace, lying quietly on a black velvet cloth, its light dazzling.

With her right hand behind her back, she bent down and glanced at the glass case carefully.

At the center of the bracelet is an oval diamond, dazzling in its brilliance, surrounded by a ring of gemstones of various colors, with a warm, lustrous moonstone hanging below, its soft halo resembling moonlight.

A deep male voice suddenly fell into my ears.

"Like this?"

Su Ruoyun turned her head upon hearing the sound and, sure enough, saw Huo Jingcheng standing behind her.

He looked at her intently, his aura calm and composed, as if he would buy it for her without hesitation if she said she liked it.

Huo Jingcheng didn't use perfume; his scent was a faint woody fragrance from tobacco, mixed with a mature masculine aroma. When she got close, her body temperature carried this scent, which drifted gently into her nostrils.

"So-so." Su Ruoyun straightened up and stepped back, seemingly wanting to avoid his warm breath.

She took a step back, and he took a step forward.

"I'll buy you a bracelet, and you give me cufflinks, how about that?"

Huo Jingcheng casually pointed to a pair of gemstone cufflinks displayed on a nearby stand, radiating a low-key yet luxurious glow.

Although the cufflinks looked quite valuable, they paled in comparison to the bracelet.

If she agrees, this 'deal' is clearly a win for me.

Su Ruoyun stared at his face for a few moments. Seeing his calm and serious expression, she raised an eyebrow and declined, saying, "No need."

There's no such thing as a free lunch. She understood that principle. If a cunning old fox like Huo Jingcheng dug a pit for her, she might actually be happy to take the blame for him.

Huo Jingcheng seemed to read her mind and chuckled cryptically, "What bad things are you saying about me now?"
