Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 94: Biting Your Own Trouble, Staying Out All Night?

"...What hand?" Su Ruoyun appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, she was just pretending to be composed. She casually twisted her fingertips around the water bottle and applied force, and with a soft "click," the bottle cap was unscrewed.

Li Li's gaze fell on her right hand, which was holding a water bottle and pouring water into a glass. He stretched out a finger and pointed to the area between her thumb and forefinger, "This."

There was a clear teeth mark on it, and it looked very 'fresh,' probably no more than a day old.

After saying that, Li Li tilted his head, thought for a while, then leaned closer to take a closer look, as if he had discovered something, "A bite mark?"

Upon this discovery, Li Li's eyes widened suddenly, his mouth slightly agape, and his eyes sparkled with barely suppressed curiosity as he asked crisply, "Who did this?"

Her voice trailed off, her eyes gleaming with cunning, as she deliberately dragged out her words, "It wasn't last night...?"

The tremor in his voice held a hint of obvious mockery and probing; Li Li deliberately left half a sentence unsaid.

After pouring the water steadily with her right hand, Su Ruoyun deftly screwed the bottle cap on with her long fingers, completing the action in one smooth motion.

She glanced at Li Li sideways, her gaze calm, and slowly uttered two words: "No."

As he spoke, he placed the water bottle on the coffee table.

"Could it be that you had a rabies attack and bit yourself?" Li Li raised an eyebrow, his tone full of disbelief.

Su Ruoyun reached out, picked up one of the glasses on the coffee table, leaned back comfortably into the sofa, and smiled casually, saying, "You really guessed right."

"..." Li Li.

She paused for a moment, frowned, straightened up slightly, and glanced sideways at Su Ruoyun: "No, I'm not that stupid, am I? To believe such nonsense?"

Su Ruoyun raised her hand, her arm arcing through the air, and precisely snatched her kitten from Li Li's arms. The kitten's soft fur brushed against her fingertips, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

Seeing her happily petting the cat, Li Li seized the perfect opportunity and asked, "Are you free this weekend? I'd like to invite you horseback riding in the outskirts of Beijing."

Su Ruoyun teased the cat in her arms, her eyes crinkling with a smile. When she saw Li Li looking over, she raised an eyebrow at her and then asked, "Did you organize this gathering?"

Upon hearing this, Li Li cleared his throat awkwardly, his eyes darting around as he avoided Su Ruoyun's gaze, and stammered, "No... it was my cousin who organized this gathering."

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun gave a polite but forced smile, her tone chilling, "So, you came to pick me up just for this?"

Li Li's cousin, Ruan Sheng, is one of Su Ruoyun's suitors.

Li Li reached out and grabbed a cushion from the sofa, hugging it to her chest. "No, I mainly wanted to come and pick you up." As she spoke, she buried her head in the soft cushion.

Although she denied it verbally, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.

After all, his cousin had given him a death order.

With the ulterior motive of "better to die than to die myself," Li Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and trick her friend.

Su Ruoyun chuckled twice, but didn't reply immediately. She just started playing with the cat in her arms.

Li Li, who had been left standing there, was getting a little anxious. She leaned closer and pleaded in a sweet voice, "Oh, please, please come with me, okay? Otherwise, my older cousin will come after me..."

Last time, Li Li borrowed Ruan Sheng's membership card to show off to her friends, going to a famous private club in Beijing—a members-only club with only one hundred spots available each year. Ruan Sheng used this favor as leverage to blackmail her. She deliberately used a high-pitched, soft voice, almost dripping with sweetness, while simultaneously placing a hand on Su Ruoyun's forearm and gently shaking it, pleading, "Please~"

Unable to resist Li Li's forceful persuasion, Su Ruoyun finally agreed.

……

The next day.

Su Ruoyun slept in late and didn't get up until noon to eat breakfast.

When she opened her eyes, slivers of light peeked in through the gaps in the curtains. She reached for the remote control on the bedside table, pressed a button, and the curtains slid open automatically to the sides, instantly filling the room with light. Outside, the sun was shining brightly.

Su Ruoyun lay in bed, playing on her phone for a while, until the rich aroma of food wafted into the bedroom. Only then did she slip on her slippers, go to the bathroom to wash up, and slowly stroll out of the bedroom.
She didn't rush to get up, but stayed comfortably in bed, playing on her phone for a while. Only when the rich aroma of food wafted into the bedroom did she leisurely slip on her slippers, stroll into the bathroom to wash up, and then slowly walk out of the bedroom.

Su Ruoyun stood in the living room. Inadvertently, her eyes glanced at the digital clock on the wall and she realized that it was Father's Day. She tapped her phone screen and sent Su Zhanqi a red envelope, along with a few flattering words.

Su Zhanqi was probably busy and didn't receive or respond in time.

Su Ruoyun swiped her finger across the screen, exited the chat with her father, and then scrolled through her WeChat Moments for a while.

After lunch, she set off for the teahouse.

At the international tea conference the day before yesterday, Su Ruoyun also met with many domestic peers—owners of teahouses from various regions. She absorbed some other conclusions and gained a lot of valuable experience. After returning to her teahouse, she immediately convened an internal meeting with her employees.

They reassigned corresponding KPIs to the tea masters and rearranged the work schedules again...

The meeting lasted all afternoon and didn't conclude until 5 p.m.

The teahouse is open from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. After the meeting, the staff and tea masters still need to stay in the teahouse to continue working. After confirming that all the arrangements were in place, Su Ruoyun picked up her bag and left.

Today is Father's Day.

Su Mingyan and Su Ruoyun gathered at the family compound, and it was a rare occasion that Su Mingyan arrived earlier than Su Ruoyun.

The family compound and Su Zhanqi's workplace were close, but he was always the last to return home.

Su Ruoyun specially bought a bouquet of flowers before coming, but... all the flowers inside were handpicked, the kind that Ms. Ming would like.

She handed a large bouquet of flowers to Su Zhanqi, and even the usually stern Su Zhanqi couldn't help but smile.

However, when she saw Su Mingyan sitting upright on the sofa in the living room, her eyes showed a hint of disdain.

Su Mingyan was baffled, raising an eyebrow in confusion and innocence, completely unaware of what had happened.

Dinner is served at seven o'clock.

At the dinner table, Su Ruoyun seemed to have thought of something. She put the chopsticks she was holding in her bowl and looked up at Su Mingyan. "Brother, I went to Xiangshan Yayuan to look for you last night. Why weren't you home?"

Staying out all night?
