Chapter 155

~7 min read 1,341 words

Huo Jingcheng was generous with his salary, and his treatment was generous, so Lin Cheng didn't have any reluctance to work, but he was a bit surprised; he felt his boss was a bit too diligent.

Actually, heaven knows, it was just that his boss was too excited.

Near the end of work yesterday, colleagues from the Legal Department submitted the drafted new contract to Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng never expected that Huo Jingcheng would get up early today to read this contract carefully. Fortunately, after getting off work and going home last night, he had taken the time to browse the content of the new contract and had an understanding of the general situation of the contract.

The two chatted about the contract while eating. Mainly Lin Cheng was talking, and Huo Jingcheng was listening. The two deliberately lowered their voices to avoid disturbing Su Ruoyun.

After enjoying breakfast, Lin Cheng organized the food box neatly in an orderly manner, carefully gathered the trash one by one, and then packed it up, preparing to take it away from the apartment.

He stood at the door, changed his shoes, and waited for Huo Jingcheng.

Huo Jingcheng put one hand in his side pocket leisurely, strode forward with his long legs, walked straight toward the bedroom, and stood by the side of the bed.

Su Ruoyun was sleeping soundly. He bent down, leaned his body forward, and his distinct five fingers nimbly pulled away the few strands of hair that had drilled into her nightdress. His thin lips touched her smooth forehead, leaving a kiss, and then he retreated from the bedroom quietly, step by step.

A sunny day, the afternoon sun crawled into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains.

Su Ruoyun woke up leisurely from her dream at 2:00 PM. Unlike Huo Jingcheng, who was too excited to sleep in the early morning, she had slept from 4:00 AM for a full ten hours, only then fully replenishing the strength and spirit she had consumed at midnight.

She stretched, feeling full of vitality again, feeling like she could do it "a hundred more times."

Su Ruoyun didn't rush to get up. The time she agreed with Li Wenye was 4:00 PM.

Thinking of Li Wenye, she couldn't help but associate him with Li Li. Where did Li Li go last night?

She frowned, thinking carefully for a moment, but couldn't think of an answer in her mind. In the last fragment of the scene, there was only a man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

Su Ruoyun knocked on her head in annoyance, cursing herself in her heart for being a person who forgets friends for sex.

Then she touched her phone from the side, found Li Li's number in the address book, and dialed a call.

The phone rang for a long time in the bedroom. Just as Su Ruoyun was about to hang up, it was finally answered.

As soon as it opened, it wasn't the female voice she was familiar with, but a hoarse, textured male voice.

"Hello."

A man?

Su Ruoyun was stunned for a moment, stubbornly thinking she had dialed the wrong number. Her right hand, uncontrollably holding the phone, pulled away from her ear. She lifted her eyelids to look at the name on the screen.

That's right, it's Li Li.

She put the phone back to her ear, asking tentatively: "Hello?"

She didn't wait for Li Li, nor did she wait for the owner of that male voice.

The other end of the phone was unusually noisy and chaotic, forming a sharp contrast with her quiet side.

"Give my phone back to me!"

"I won't."

"Give it to me!"

"You beg me."

"..."

Just such meaningless, non-nutritious dialogue, repeated N times.

"..." Su Ruoyun.

Is she a part of their play?

She didn't want to be a tool for their love, so she cleared her throat unnaturally, reminding the two "brothers" on the other end of the phone: "I won't disturb you two; I'll hang up first."

Before hanging up, she considerately asked Li Wenye another question: "Also, do you still have time at 4:00 PM? If there's no time, can we change it to tomorrow morning?"

Li Wenye replied lazily: "I have time, 4:00 PM it is."

Confirming the time, Su Ruoyun cut off the call, then got out of the soft and comfortable big bed, put on her slippers by the bed, and walked slowly into the bathroom to wash up.

Today is Saturday, and the lunch Li Ayi made was already cold. Su Ruoyun, who had finished washing up, put the food into the microwave to heat it up.

She moved to the cupboard, took out a glass cup with a moist and lustrous luster, then turned to open the refrigerator door, took out a bottle of ice milk, and poured the ice milk into the glass cup.

Thirsty, Su Ruoyun drank a sip of milk, mellow and rich. New Zealand milk, air-freighted directly to Jingcheng.

A simple, perfunctory, though late, lunch was completed.

After Su Ruoyun finished lunch, she stepped into the walk-in closet to choose today's outfit. The weather in Sijiucheng in late June was getting hotter and hotter. She chose a white cinched-waist shirt dress, the style simple and exquisite, a black leather belt tied at the waist, outlining her slender waist that could be held in one hand. Her long curly hair was neatly tied into a bun, and she went out simply and generously.

4:00 PM, not a minute more, not a minute less.

Li Wenye walked into the Guan Yun private room with a leisurely pace, revealing a sense of unruliness. Both hands were inserted into his pockets casually, not hiding the obvious fingernail marks on his neck at all.

Su Ruoyun instantly recalled the manicure Li Li showed her last night, trembling inexplicably. That was a "sharp weapon."

However, she didn't show it on her face, smiling gently, and greeted: "Second Young Master Li."

Li Wenye nodded slightly to indicate, replying lazily: "Miss Su."

The seat on the opposite side of the long table was empty, left for him. Li Wenye raised his hand to pull the armchair back, then sat down broadly.

"Asking for help," Su Ruoyun spoke politely.

"What tea would you like to drink today?"

"Silver Needle White Tea."

Mixing white tea and green tea, a young master with no taboos.

It was still the tea master brewing the tea.

After the tea master exited the private room, Li Wenye held a *jian* cup, drooping his eyelids, his fingertips rubbing it inexplicably, and took a sip of tea unhurriedly.

"Actually, for this matter, the person who should come forward is probably only you."

Su Ruoyun was Huo Jingcheng's girlfriend and Su Mingyan's own sister. If she wanted to resolve the conflict between the two, her identity was the most suitable.

Su Ruoyun placed both hands on the edge of the table, then slowly clasped them on the table, taking the initiative to ask: "So... what exactly happened between them?"

As the words fell, silence flowed through the air for a moment. Just as Li Wenye was about to speak, a crisp knocking sound rang out—*dong, dong, dong*—three rhythmic sounds entered.

Su Ruoyun and Li Wenye both turned their heads subconsciously toward the door.

Su Ruoyun had told the employees not to come unless necessary, so if an employee knocked, it must be an urgent matter.

"Come in."

Hearing this voice, Xiao Li pushed the door and entered, saying softly: "Boss lady, Mr. Huo is here."

Huo Jingcheng often came to the tea house, so Su Ruoyun wasn't surprised. She tapped her fingertips on the table, making a muffled sound: "Let him wait first."

Xiao Li looked embarrassed, then said again: "Mr. Su is also here."

Su Ruoyun's action of lowering her head stopped suddenly, then she lifted her long eyelashes and cast a look at Xiao Li again.

Her brother?
