Chapter 150

Su Ruoyun pondered repeatedly in her mind who to ask. They had to have a good relationship with Huo Jingcheng and understand the specific inside story... She forgot for a moment that there was still Li Wenye.

Her peripheral vision paused slightly at the doorway, sweeping over the TCM doctor and the clinic apprentice walking in. She changed slowly from lying to prone, and then let the female apprentice lift her long hair.

The female apprentice carefully lifted her halter top, pushing it up bit by bit, revealing her bony, slender back.

In the acupuncture room, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere permeated. Su Ruoyun and Li Li lay quietly on the hospital beds, eyes slightly closed. Thin, long silver needles, emitting a cold and faint light, were stuck into their backs.

It was more than an hour after the acupuncture, followed by massage.

A thin layer of cloth covered their backs.

The one massaging Su Ruoyun was a female TCM doctor with over fifty years of rich experience.

Warm and powerful hands rested gently on her back, the force just right, massaging from her shoulders and neck to her waist. The whole set of massage was smooth and flowing, the female doctor's technique skillful and professional. Su Ruoyun felt her body become soft and relaxed, much more comfortable.

The doctor also diagnosed the two and prescribed corresponding prescriptions.

It ended around 5:30 in the evening. The sun was already setting, the sunset glow dyeing the sky into a brilliant orange-red.

The two drove to the restaurant separately.

When entering the restaurant, the waiter at the door welcomed them to the private room.

Su Ruoyun and Li Li followed behind the waiter, walking along the corridor, their high heels making a *clack-clack* sound on the ground.

Su Ruoyun glanced at Li Li and asked curiously: "Why are you looking so worried again?"

Upon hearing this, Li Li let out a barely audible sigh and brushed it off simply: "It's not something that can be explained in a moment."

"Why can't it be explained?"

After she finished speaking, they arrived at the door of the private room. The waiter opened the door and made a "please" gesture with his arm half-raised. After Su Ruoyun and Li Li stepped into the private room, the door was closed by the waiter.

After ordering the dishes, Li Li ordered another bottle of Louis XIII, and the two drank and chatted.

"You said... someone wants to marry you?" Su Ruoyun held a cognac glass, her eyebrows raised slightly.

Seeing Su Ruoyun's drink was almost at the bottom, Li Li reached out and grabbed the wine bottle to the side, pouring Su Ruoyun a full glass.

The white mother-of-pearl bracelet slid over the glass bottle, bringing out a series of crisp, dripping sounds like pearls falling on a jade plate.

"Mm."

Li Li spoke, her voice full of listless energy, obviously having been entangled by trouble for a long time.

Su Ruoyun frowned, thinking through the whole circle but couldn't think of which "brother" could make Li Li confused. After all, Miss Li's boyfriends were all over the Beijing circle, and each one wanted to rekindle their old relationship with her.

"Who is it?"

Li Li didn't have the idea of wanting to cover it up. She held the wine glass to her lips, took a shallow sip, and said: "You know him?"

"I know him?" Su Ruoyun narrowed her eyes, searching for candidates in her mind. Someone she knew...

"Still don't know." She shook her head, still looking for people among Li Li's past boyfriends.

Li Li was speechless at her. She had to make her say it clearly, right? She herself was also very embarrassed, okay?

Li Li casually said the name: "Li Wenye."

After hearing the name, Su Ruoyun didn't react for a moment, replying extremely flatly: "Oh."

Three seconds later, the name "Li Wenye" floated and flashed in her mind repeatedly, and she reacted instantly: "Who? Li Wenye?"

Su Ruoyun's volume rose suddenly.

The scene in the lounge at the Jingjiao Ranch last time was still vivid in her mind. Li Wenye had even gone to her tea house to ask about Li Li's ex-boyfriend, and in the blink of an eye, it changed from a "confession" to a marriage proposal. Were they moving at rocket speed?

No, even rocket speed wasn't as fast as them.

Su Ruoyun stood there blankly, maintaining the same sitting posture, wanting to speak but stopping: "You and him..."

"Originally, I wanted to 'steal a teacher's art' from him, learn how he invests, but as a result..."

"I ended up losing myself." Li Li said through gritted teeth, biting her lip in anger.

Su Ruoyun didn't dare to think carefully about what "losing myself" meant, supporting her chin with one hand: "Then what do you think?"

Everyone belonged to the Beijing circle, but they were also divided into "factions," each with their own playmates. Usually, at most, they would just say hello at gatherings. Su Ruoyun didn't have much of an impression of Li Wenye, mostly just from last time when he came to "One River Tobacco" to ask for news about Li Li.

"Not sure yet." Li Li replied lazily: "Let's drag it out for now. Anyway, it's impossible for him to drag me to get the marriage certificate."

"No!"

Then Li Li straightened up, thinking of a crucial matter: "The new 'Marriage Registration Regulations' were implemented on May 10th. Marriage doesn't require a household registration book. My ID card is still with him. It's over."

"..." Su Ruoyun.

"How could your ID card be with him?"

"Last time he said the cooperation documents needed both parties' ID cards, and the lawyers used them frequently, so he asked me to leave my ID card with him..." Li Li didn't expect that a marriage proposal would happen later. She took the phone from the round table, preparing to find a friend at the Civil Affairs Bureau to check.

Su Ruoyun didn't bother her. A few minutes later, her friend sent the information over, confirming it was still 【Unmarried】.

Li Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"You really have a big heart." Su Ruoyun raised her glass to drink, evaluating sincerely.

It was the first time she had seen someone dare to give their ID card to an outsider, and that outsider still had ulterior motives toward her.

Li Li defended herself, saying: "I didn't expect it either, did I?"

The two finished the bottle of Louis XIII and drove to a NightClub to have a drink.

Most of the lights in the private room were turned off, with only a few ambient lights with soft light, and the bright light emitted by the LED screen intertwined, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

Several empty wine bottles were piled on the ground, a few glass bottles were tilted, and several bottles of Hennessy were placed on the black gold wood coffee table.

Both had their own worries. Li Li was worried about "marriage matters," while Su Ruoyun was thinking about the relationship between her brother Su Mingyan and Huo Jingcheng. Why would it be from "colluding" to "tit-for-tat" in Li Wenye's words?

Business didn't mean much to the two of them; it wouldn't reach the point of breaking up with a good friend. It must be other things that caused both of them to change.

Thinking and thinking, she hooked her phone from the coffee table, found Li Wenye's WeChat, and typed in the chat area with distinct finger bones.

【Are you there? I've thought about what you said that day.】

Li Wenye replied after a minute. He was very sensible and got straight to the point: 【Tomorrow morning, at your tea house again?】

Su Ruoyun: 【Okay.】

After replying to the message, Su Ruoyun put down her phone, took the wine glass at hand, and drank a sip of wine unhurriedly.
