Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 67 Cousin-law

Unable to resist her cousins' sweet pleading, Su Ruoyun finally softened and brought them along.

Not daring to let her elders know, Su Ruoyun simply said she was taking them out for a stroll. She also kept it a secret from Su Mingyan and Su Jiayi, afraid of being accused of leading the children astray.

It was their first time at a bar, and Chen Xiangjin and Chen Xiangwei were both quite excited, looking around with curiosity. They refused to go to a private room and only wanted to stay at the bar and soak up the atmosphere.

Su Ruoyun didn't insist on bringing the two of them along. She only told them to take good care of themselves, as bars are a mixed bag and they should be careful. Some people lose their sense of propriety after a few drinks. Then she turned and walked towards the private room on the second floor.

Tonight, Su Ruoyun was all alone. She didn't drink alcohol, just opened a can of soda, played a few rounds of Angel Birdes in the private room, and ate a few plates of fruit slices.

Around 9:30, she went to the restroom. After leaving the restroom, she prepared to take the two children back to the hotel.

As soon as she stepped out, Su Ruoyun stood in front of the washbasin and saw Huo Jingcheng's figure in the mirror. She paused in her action of turning on the faucet, and then raised her hand without making a sound.

Huo Jingcheng was also quite surprised. He suddenly turned around and stood back in his original position. He inadvertently fell on the pair of delicate, white jade-like hands in the sink and suddenly asked, "Why aren't you wearing a bracelet?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun subconsciously lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on her left wrist, which was completely empty.

Su Mingyan and Su Jiayi had both been to the auction, but she was unsure whether they had paid attention to the bracelet. After all, she had only bid on a sapling at the auction and hadn't bid on any other items.

If she were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable, so she removed them these past few days.

"It's too valuable. I'll return it to you when you come to the teahouse another day."

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared in Huo Jingcheng's eyes. He crossed his arms and asked knowingly, "What, may I go to the teahouse now?"

"...If Mr. Huo doesn't want to come, I can have someone send him to the Bank of China." Su Ruoyun's lips curled into a businesslike smile.

He quickly corrected himself, his voice low and hoarse: "I'll come to the teahouse in a few days."

After saying that, Huo Jingcheng took a step forward, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said clearly, word by word: "Will Boss Yun personally entertain me then?"

While squeezing out hand sanitizer, Su Ruoyun replied without hesitation, "No."

"Why?" he demanded.

“I don’t usually go out to meet guests.” As she spoke, Su Ruoyun lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze, and focused on rubbing the bubbles in her palms.

Huo Jingcheng pondered for a moment, then took a long stride and blocked her path, his tone carrying a hint of malice, "Then why did you entertain me before?"

“That’s because—” Su Ruoyun was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain the reason. She then thought of the answer Huo Jingcheng gave on the day of the auction, which he had only told his wife.

The moment the words left her mouth, she changed them: "I only entertained you because you are generous and pay a lot of money."

The implication is that it's all about money.

Su Ruoyun washed her hands clean, turned and left. Her hair twirled in the air, and a faint scent of irises drifted over, reaching Huo Jingcheng's nostrils.

Huo Jingcheng squinted his eyes slightly, the fragrance of irises lingering from the tip of his nose and entering his bloodstream.

He didn't stop her, but simply followed behind her at a leisurely pace.

At the bar on the first floor, Chen Xiangjin went out to find a quiet place to answer the phone, leaving Chen Xiangwei alone at the bar.

She picked up a glass of freshly made cocktail, ready to taste it, when a flirtatious voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"That's not how you drink alcohol?"

She turned her gaze to the sound, subtly observing the man sitting on the bar stool next to her.

The man exuded an air of nobility, dressed in haute couture and wearing an expensive watch on his wrist. However, he looked listless and his eyes were swollen, clearly due to excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures.

Chen Xiangwei ignored him, took a small sip of her cocktail, signed the bill, and prepared to leave the bar.

Unexpectedly, when the man saw her about to leave, he immediately grabbed Chen Xiangwei's wrist and said urgently, "Hey, don't go."

She frowned, forcefully shook off his hand, and said coldly, "Don't touch me!"

The man immediately grinned and said, "Oh my, you've got quite a temper."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiangwei's face turned ugly. She had been pampered by her family since she was a child, and seeing this man 'insult' her like this, she naturally lost her temper.

She picked up the cocktail from the bar and, without hesitation, splashed it at the man.

Caught off guard, the man's bangs were slightly damp, his face was wet, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "You—"

Chen Xiangwei glared back at him without backing down.

Seeing this, the man raised his hand, looking enraged and ready to hit someone.

Meanwhile, Su Ruoyun, who was coming downstairs, happened to see this scene and quickly went forward. Huo Jingcheng, who was behind her, asked a waiter to call the bar owner.

Su Ruoyun stepped aside to block Chen Xiangwei's view, lifting her eyelids to meet the man standing opposite her. Chen Xiangwei turned her head to look at Su Ruoyun's profile and timidly called out, "Cousin."

Su Ruoyun has never shown her face in public, and few people in Beijing know that she is the eldest daughter of the Su family.

Seeing that there were two girls opposite him, the man laughed instead of getting angry, and his laughter became even more rampant. His tone was no longer as harsh as before, "We're all here to drink, so let's not make such a scene. I'll buy you a drink."

There were quite a few people watching. Just as Su Ruoyun was wondering whether to call Su Mingyan, the owner of Butterfly Bar appeared. He was dressed in a sharp suit and looked mature and capable. He looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He walked steadily and slowly toward the bar.

The owner leaned lazily against the bar, his expression indifferent. He glanced at the man casually, then beckoned several burly, muscular bartenders who quickly subdued him. A few minutes later, the man was thrown out of the BUTTERFLY bar in a disheveled state.

Having taken care of things, the bar owner covered his mouth with his hand, yawned, and then strolled leisurely toward Huo Jingcheng. "I've taken care of things for you."

Huo Jingcheng raised an eyebrow slightly and simply thanked him, "Thanks."

"polite."

Su Ruoyun, on the other side, took in this scene and realized that Huo Jingcheng had called the bar owner. Due to her upbringing, she led Chen Xiangwei over to thank him.

Chen Xiangwei turned her gaze to Huo Jingcheng, who was staring intently at Su Ruoyun, and stared at him carefully for a while before calling out to Huo Jingcheng in a clear voice, "Brother-in-law."
