Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 65: Are you trying to kick me out again, being so domineering?

"Stop slandering me," Su Ruoyun retorted to Huo Jingcheng.

"Then you didn't make up stories about me?" Huo Jingcheng's voice was filled with disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun answered without confidence and could only clear her throat to ease her embarrassment.

She glanced at Huo Jingcheng's ambiguous smile and uttered a dry sentence: "...Believe it or not."

After speaking, Su Ruoyun slowly walked past each of the display cases and went around to another corner of the exhibition hall, where an auctioneer was respectfully explaining the details of the jewelry in the display case to a pair of distinguished guests.

Su Ruoyun glanced over unintentionally and saw two familiar figures: Xu Erhan and the young master Meng from Shencheng.

Meng Lizhou held a hand warmer in his hand, and the cashmere blanket that had been draped over his assistant's elbow was now draped over his body. He stood there lazily, his eyes fixed on Xu Erhan.

His first words were full of wealth and arrogance, his voice clear and melodious, and he uttered the words, "Buy it if you like it."

Xu Erhan bent down slightly, a few strands of hair playfully falling down. She raised her long fingers and tucked the hair behind her ear, revealing her beautiful, angular profile.

Her expression remained unchanged despite Meng Lizhou's words, and she asked calmly, "If I like them all, will you buy them all for me?"

"Why not? It's not like I can't afford it." The man's cold voice carried a hint of arrogance.

Huo Jingcheng stood behind Su Ruoyun, his tone indifferent, his voice deep yet clear, "If you want, I can buy it all for you."

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun's lips twitched imperceptibly. Theirs was a legitimate arranged marriage, what were she and Huo Jingcheng...?

The exhibition hall was small, and even the slightest sound could be heard clearly. The conversation over there quickly caught Xu Erhan's attention.

She turned her head and saw that it was her friend.

In an instant, Xu Erhan's lips curved into a smile, completely unlike the 'ice beauty' of the previous second. Her smile bloomed like the warm spring sun, her eyebrows and eyes curving.

Without hesitation, she left her fiancé beside her and walked gracefully towards Su Ruoyun without turning her head: "Bamboo."

"Er'er".

After standing next to Su Ruoyun, Xu Erhan's gaze inadvertently swept over Huo Jingcheng not far away. She paused slightly, then spoke in a graceful and generous manner, her voice cold but polite: "President Huo."

Huo Jingcheng spoke calmly: "President Xu,"

He then greeted Meng Lizhou, who was standing next to the display case, "Young Master Meng."

Before they knew it, Su Ruoyun and Xu Erhan's arms were naturally linked together, and the two whispered to each other.

It wasn't until she saw her fiancé walking over that Xu Erhan belatedly introduced him, "This is my good friend, Su Ruoyun."

She then introduced Meng Lizhou to Su Ruojun, saying, "This is my fiancé, Meng Lizhou."

Meng Lizhou's gaze swept back and forth between Huo Jingcheng and Su Ruoyun without leaving a trace, as if he were inadvertently trying to catch something.

He had just been in the private room on the second floor and had seen it all clearly. He had personally witnessed Mr. Huo from Beijing holding Ms. Su in his arms, their actions intimate and intimate.

However, seeing that the two of them were pretending not to know each other, Meng Lizhou did not deliberately expose them. He simply pretended that it was their first meeting, and said politely with a slight smile, "Miss Su, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, Young Master Meng." Su Ruoyun ignored the fleeting mischievousness in his eyes.

……

Meng Lizhou went to Beijing for Xu Erhan's sake. Su Ruoyun, naturally, wouldn't be so oblivious as to keep pestering Xu Erhan. After exchanging greetings, she parted ways with Xu Erhan at the entrance of the exhibition hall a few minutes later.

The auction banquet had already ended. She took out her phone and saw that Su Mingyan had sent her a message saying that he had already left and asked her to call Peng Ran to take her back to her apartment.

Upon scrolling through the chat again, Su Jiayi also said that she had hitched a ride with someone else and had already left the art center.

After replying to both of their messages, Su Ruoyun stood at the entrance of the art center and called Peng Ran. Peng Ran told her that she would be there soon and asked her to wait a moment.

She said gently, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry, take your time."

After receiving a response from Peng Ran, Su Ruoyun hung up the phone, stuffed her phone back into her crossbody bag, and turned her gaze to Huo Jingcheng beside her, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

The man stayed by her side for almost the entire night.

Huo Jingcheng didn't respond for a moment. He took out a cigarette case and a lighter from his pocket, knocked out a cigarette from the case, and slowly lit it for himself.

With a cigarette between his left fingers, he slowly exhaled, relieving the itch in his throat. He clicked his tongue lightly, leaned down slightly, and stared intently at Su Ruoyun as he spoke: "Trying to kick me out again, so domineeringly?"

"...I just wanted to ask." Su Ruoyun met his dark eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke.

Huo Jingcheng's lips curled into a smile. "Asking such a domineering question."

"..." Su Ruoyun.

She let out a barely audible hum from her nose, turned her head away, and refused to look at Huo Jingcheng anymore, clearly indicating that she couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

Night falls, the sky is clear and the stars are few. A gentle breeze weaves through the night, carrying a slight chill. The bright moonlight, like a thin veil, falls upon the earth.

Su Ruoyun tilted her head back to admire the beautiful scenery.

Caught off guard, Huo Jingcheng suddenly raised his hand and forcefully turned her face towards him, his domineering manner half-forcing her to look at him.

Su Ruoyun frowned slightly, about to speak, when he slowly opened his other hand.

The cool touch pressed against my soft palm.

Huo Jingcheng had already released his large hand from under her chin, and Su Ruoyun unconsciously lowered her eyes, turning her gaze to what was in her palm.

It was the bracelet that the two of them had just looked at.

Su Ruoyun was taken aback; she hadn't even noticed when Huo Jingcheng had bought it.

My wrist was gently pulled.

Before she could react, Huo Jingcheng spoke, his voice lazy and somewhat nonchalant, "I'll leave the cufflinks for now, I'll come back to you for them later."

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he mumbled something while his gaze remained focused and unwavering as his long, well-defined fingers carefully put the bracelet on her wrist.

Huo Jingcheng's movements were very clumsy, but Su Ruoyun could tell that he had tried his best.

Half a minute later, the dazzling bracelet was placed on Su Ruoyun's wrist. The oval diamonds sparkled with a cold yet brilliant light, fitting snugly against the veins on her inner wrist where blood flowed quietly, as if resonating with her pulse.

The diamonds and moonlight collided, dazzling Su Ruoyun's eyes. She lowered her head, stared at the bracelet for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Why did you give it to me?"
