Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 96 Your performance was terrible

The clear female voice suddenly entered Su Ruoyun's ears from the other end of the phone. She was instantly stunned and before she could react, her hand slipped and her finger pressed the hang-up button. Then, her hand trembled and the phone hit "Panda's" head.

A soft "meow" rang out. The kitten, wincing in pain from being hit, instinctively shook its head violently.

The phone that had landed on the fat cat's back flew off and landed on the fluffy carpet, sinking silently into its softness. Fortunately, the carpet cushioned the fall, and the phone was unharmed.

Su Ruoyun didn't immediately bend down to pick up the phone from the ground. Instead, she stood there as if frozen in place, her eyes glazed over, her thoughts drifting away as she stared blankly into space.

A woman's voice? When did her brother get a woman by his side?
Su Mingyan doesn't have a female assistant, and it's already late at night, so the person who can answer the phone for him must have a very special relationship with him.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she blinked. It took her a while to recover from the shock of seeing a woman next to her brother. With a long sigh, she bent down to pick up her phone.

The phone screen automatically lit up, still displaying the call log page. Six minutes had passed, and the person on the other end of the line hadn't called back.

Just as Su Ruoyun was about to put the matter out of her mind and pretend nothing had happened, a crisp and pleasant cell phone ringtone sounded in the room again.

Seeing the nickname reappear on the screen, she felt flustered. Her finger hovered hesitantly above the button, but in the end, she chose to swipe to answer.

Su Ruoyun tentatively called out "Hello".

"Hey."

This time, it wasn't a cold female voice on the other end of the phone, but Su Mingyan's familiar and steady voice. The moment Su Ruoyun heard it, her tense heart finally relaxed.

"What's up with calling me?" he asked in a nonchalant Beijing accent.

Su Ruoyun's eyes darted around, and instead of answering his question immediately, she asked in return, "Where are you now?"

"...Is this answer important?" Su Mingyan remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, it's very important. It's about how I'm going to tell you why I'm looking for you."

Although the two were only talking on the phone, and Su Ruoyun knew that Su Mingyan on the other end of the line couldn't see her, she still nodded heavily without thinking.

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyan subtly switched the hand holding the phone, placing it against his right ear. His gaze fell on the person on the opposite sofa, his expression shifting for a moment.

Instead of answering Su Ruojun directly, he spoke in a soft tone, subtly circumventing the question, "Didn't you just answer the phone?"

“I…” Su Ruoyun stammered, momentarily speechless. She heard a simple “hello” and then accidentally hung up the phone. What could she possibly understand from that?

She pursed her lips, deciding to throw caution to the wind and stop beating around the bush, directly asking the question she really wanted to ask: "How are things going between you and that Miss Jiang?"

Playing mind games with Su Mingyan is exhausting.

Su Mingyan's eyes flickered as he looked meaningfully at the woman who was pretending to be busy. He deliberately dragged out his words, repeating Su Ruoyun's question: "How far have things progressed between me and that Miss Jiang?"

He paused slightly, then chuckled softly, "That depends on how much she admits it."

The next second, a busy signal came through the receiver.

"..." Su Mingyan.

After hearing what Su Mingyan said, Su Ruoyun, on the other end of the phone, hung up without hesitation. Then she touched the goosebumps on her hands. Her brother spoke so seductively; that Miss Jiang must be with him.

She shook her head, trying to shake Su Mingyan's words out of her mind. The "panda," forgotten on the sofa for so long, let out a soft, disgruntled "meow~," its gentle voice full of grievance. After meowing, it even tried to reach out its paw and paw at Su Ruoyun's hand.
Su Ruoyun then snapped out of her daze, quickly lowered her head, and gently stroked the "panda's" chin with her fingertips, tickling it again and again. "Okay, okay, go to sleep with Mommy."

……

Meanwhile, Su Mingyan was still in the position of answering the phone, with Jiang Xihan beside him. Not wanting to lose face, he pretended to still be on the phone, casually responding a few times before pretending to hang up.

Jiang Xihan casually flipped through an academic journal draped over her lap, seemingly unconcerned about Su Mingyan. Seeing him hang up the phone, she closed the book and placed it on the coffee table, saying indifferently, "Are you leaving?"

"Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?"

As he spoke, Su Mingyan raised his hand, slightly opened his shirt, and put his phone back into the pocket inside his suit jacket.

"Otherwise what?" She turned her head, her gaze calmly falling on him, her expression unwavering.

Su Mingyan chuckled, a hint of amusement creeping into his deep-set eyes. "So heartless, I just gave you a set of fridge magnets?"

When refrigerator magnets were mentioned, Jiang Xihan's attitude softened slightly, but not much, just a little.

"If you want to go back, I don't mind?"

"What's given to you is yours, there's no reason for you to take it back..."

Before Su Mingyan could finish speaking, Jiang Xihan interrupted him and asked again, "When are you leaving?"

"..." Su Mingyan.

"Can't you sit a little longer?" The words slipped from his lips, a plea that was barely audible, yet his expression remained calm and composed, showing no trace of humility.

Jiang Xihan did not answer him, but instead took immediate action.

The front door and living room were close together, so she got up from the sofa, walked to the door, and reached out to hold the doorknob.

Su Mingyan didn't want to leave so early either, but seeing Jiang Xihan stubbornly standing at the door, he was afraid that her legs would get sore from standing for too long, so he had no choice but to give up.

He got up slowly and walked leisurely toward the door.

His movements were visibly slow, as if slowed down three times, but someone always came to control him.

When they were just a step away, Jiang Xihan saw Su Mingyan dawdling, so she reached out, grabbed his sleeve, and pulled him out.

The door was about to close in the next second, and Su Mingyan would be turned away.

A long leg, clad in crisp trousers, stretched forward, its leather shoe landing directly on the threshold, preventing the door from closing.

"What's the rush? You haven't said goodnight yet."

Jiang Xihan looked at his shameless attitude and said something fatal in a low voice.

"Actually, your performance of pretending to answer the phone just now was quite clumsy."

"..." Su Mingyan.
