Chapter 105: You woman are also quite hypocritical

The moment Su Ruoyun crashed into Huo Jingcheng's warm chest, she froze on the spot, stunned, the powerful heartbeat deafening in her ears.

She blinked slowly.

Even though she had already suffered a loss this morning, she didn't expect this accident to happen, and for a moment, she couldn't react.

But at least she got the phone. She couldn't care about shyness or anger, grabbed the phone from Huo Jingcheng's broad hand, and started operating it by herself.

Su Ruoyun's fingers tapped rapidly on the screen. After just two or three taps, she deleted the album, including the photos in the recycle bin, cleanly, and then handed the phone back to Huo Jingcheng.

She raised her eyes, met Huo Jingcheng's deep, pitch-black peach blossom eyes, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous aura came over her, like a clever rabbit stared at by a snow wolf. She couldn't help but feel tight in her heart, and only then did she realize how close the distance between the two was.

She immediately wanted to exit Huo Jingcheng's embrace, but it was too late. Her speed was not as fast as Huo Jingcheng's.

He took the phone steadily with one hand, put it in his pocket smoothly, and the other hand hugged her slender waist tightly, pulling her gently, locking her firmly in his arms.

"Taking the initiative to hug me again?"

"You woman are really quite hypocritical," he evaluated.

A flash of astonishment crossed Su Ruoyun's eyes, and she forgot to resist for a moment, opening her mouth slightly. "What hypocritical?"

Huo Jingcheng lowered his eyes, his sharp, keen gaze sliding across her face, pulling at his sharp lips, his tone determined. "You like me, but you insist on saying you don't like me."

"Stop talking nonsense." Hearing this, her chest heaved slightly, and she cursed immediately.

The glass walls on both sides of the long corridor were decorated, and the sunlight poured down through the windows, outlining a bright and open space. The mottled light and shadow jumped on her face, making Su Ruoyun's expression even more vivid and lively.

Seeing Huo Jingcheng's unscrupulous, rogue-like appearance, she turned her face away and threw out a sentence huffily and stiffly: "I can't be bothered to deal with you."

Then she raised her hand, pushed Huo Jingcheng away forcefully, turned around, and walked out without looking back.

As they brushed past each other, she deliberately moved a small step to the right, bumping into Huo Jingcheng's shoulder, but she didn't expect...

Not only did she not knock Huo Jingcheng down, but she stumbled herself; his posture was as steady as a rock.

Su Ruoyun raised her eyelids, met his gaze in mid-air for a moment, raised her hand to tidy her slightly scattered hair awkwardly, didn't have the nerve to look at Huo Jingcheng again, and walked straight past the corner.

After returning to the restaurant, Su Ruoyun found that Li Li was no longer in her original position. She sent her a message, asking where she was.

Li Li replied very quickly. After receiving her message, Su Ruoyun's original footsteps paused abruptly, she took a step, turned her body, changed direction, and walked toward the lobby.

In the lobby, several leather sofas were placed in a staggered manner, echoing the glass coffee table. Various things were placed on the coffee table, including casual snacks and entertainment products. Several decks of cards were scattered around, and everyone was sitting in the lobby enjoying a moment of rest.

Li Li waved at her, signaling she was here.

Seeing this, Su Ruoyun immediately stepped toward her direction.

Su Ruoyun and Li Li curled up on a leather sofa, the goose down pressed slightly by the two of them.

Su Ruoyun held her phone with both hands, staring at the screen with full concentration. She was discussing the "One River Tobacco" tea house event with her employees.

Summer was here, the weather was getting hotter, and the popularity of the tea house was rising. Not only business people, but many casual visitors who came for the reputation would also come to the tea house to drink tea.

So, Su Ruoyun asked her employees to think about corresponding activities suitable for casual visitors.

She forwarded the design picture sent by Xiao Li to her Moments.

After just a few seconds, someone liked it.

A familiar avatar—snowy white, desolate winter day, distant mountain pine branches, barren snow lake, warm lamp in the boat.

Su Ruoyun looked up subconsciously to find Huo Jingcheng's figure, and a tall and slender figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her view.

She raised her head and saw the face of the person blocking her. "Brother Ruan Cheng."

Su Ruoyun greeted him politely, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Ruan Cheng asked: "Ruoyun, want to go to the racecourse for a run?"

In the suburban ranch, there was not only a paddock but also a racecourse.

"... Alright." Su Ruoyun thought silently for a while, but still agreed happily.

And Huo Jingcheng, sitting in the sofa chair not far away, narrowed his deep black eyes little by little, the storm surging in his eyes, and his face was clearly covered with a layer of cold fog that had not dissipated for a long time in the winter of Sijiucheng.

Li Wenye, sitting on one side, curled his lips into a faint smile, his relaxed tone deliberately raised, and he tilted his head and asked: "Not going to follow and see?"

Huo Jingcheng turned his head, his gaze flat, and cast a warning glance at him.

Although he didn't speak, Li Wenye also read the meaning in his eyes—none of his business.

Huo Jingcheng crossed his arms, looked around casually, and made a bored appearance, but his peripheral vision glanced inadvertently and saw Li Li standing with a young master. The young master's posture was clearly also intending to invite Li Li to ride together.

He twitched the corners of his mouth and said deliberately: "Not going to follow and see?"

It was not hard to hear that Huo Jingcheng's tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.

Li Wenye didn't understand, looked in the direction of his gaze, and felt a bit aggrieved in his heart.

After a few seconds, he immediately retorted: "Look!"

I don't know what Li Li said, but the young master showed a disappointed expression.

Before Li Wenye could be proud for a few seconds, the young master immediately invited Li Li to the lounge area to rest.

Li Li hooked the sun hat on the sofa, raised her hand to put it on, and while tidying up, she said: "Aren't you riding anymore?"

Tan Xi shook his head. Seeing Li Li fiddling with her hair, he picked up his phone, opened the front camera, used the screen as a mirror, turned to Li Li, his enthusiastic gaze undisguised. "I'll accompany you to rest."

The lounge area was set up beside the horse track, with a giant parasol and outdoor rattan tables and chairs, for guests to rest while watching the horse racing.

After Li Li tidied her hair, she thanked Tan Xi. She leaned over to pick up a bottle of mineral water from the coffee table, and the two walked outdoors. Although their footsteps were not neat and consistent, they were orderly in chaos.

On the other side, Huo Jingcheng saw Li Li and Tan Xi sitting in the lounge area through the floor-to-ceiling window and couldn't help but scoff, clearly mocking Li Wenye.
