Chapter 156

"Not going out to take a look?"

Li Wenye's eyes were full of interest, saying slowly: "I'm afraid they might fight."

The tone was light and breezy, but the words spoken caused a huge uproar.

"..." Su Ruoyun.

He said it seriously, so Su Ruoyun didn't dare to gamble, so she hurried to get up.

By the time Su Ruoyun rushed to the front courtyard, it was a scene completely different from what she had imagined.

Inside the spacious hall, unlike the original neatly arranged scene, several wooden tables were spliced together.

It wasn't just Huo Jingcheng and Su Mingyan sitting at the table. Su Ruoyun took a look and recognized several middle-aged entrepreneurs who had been to the tea house.

In short, it didn't look like they were going to fight; instead, it looked more like a small business negotiation meeting.

Seeing this, her footsteps stopped abruptly outside the threshold. Because of her anxiety, she almost tripped and placed her right hand on the door frame.

Over there, Li Wenye also followed.

He stood under a few steps, hands in his pockets, looking inside casually. Seeing that the two were safe and sound, he slowly curled his lips.

Su Ruoyun didn't go in to disturb them either, turning around and walking down the steps slowly, not like the panic-stricken state before, standing opposite Li Wenye while holding her skirt.

Li Wenye looked up at the azure sky casually and said: "There's no opportunity today. Why don't I come to the tea house to find Miss Su another day?"

Now was not the best time to understand the past, so she nodded and replied simply: "Okay."

Li Wenye could just walk away, but Su Ruoyun couldn't.

Xiao Li stood beside Su Ruoyun and explained in a low voice: "Just now, Mr. Huo walked into the front courtyard first. When he asked Xiao Hu where you were, it happened to be heard by Mr. Su, and then..."

Xiao Li stopped talking.

Su Ruoyun knew what it was like when the two were tit-for-tat, so she didn't blame Xiao Li and let her go back to the front desk.

By the time this disguised business negotiation meeting ended, it was 5:15 PM.

Su Ruoyun sat quietly in the side courtyard, the surroundings silent, holding a tea house brochure in her hand.

A sound of footsteps drifted into her ears, becoming clearer and clearer, approaching step by step, steady and unhurried.

She raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, closed the brochure in her hand, and then lifted her eyelids, casting her gaze in the direction of the footsteps.

Two tall, slender figures came into view together.

Her action of putting down the brochure paused unnaturally for a moment, but it vanished in a flash. She cast a questioning look at Huo Jingcheng calmly.

She only saw Huo Jingcheng hook his eyebrows at her, his thin lips carrying a faint arc.

Su Ruoyun, who couldn't see anything, reached out to tidy her skirt and stood up unhurriedly: "Brother."

Su Mingyan nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Huo Jingcheng beside him, and then he introduced him: "Mr. Huo from the Bank of China."

Upon hearing this, she cooperated and pulled out a commercial smile, perfect enough that Su Mingyan couldn't see the inside story, and faked a smile: "Hello, Mr. Huo."

Huo Jingcheng glanced at her sideways with a half-smile, and also extended his broad, dry hand seriously, calling her: "Miss Su."

His voice was extremely hoarse, the feeling of a bass cannon, squeezing out from his lips word by word, lingeringly connected together.

Seeing this, Su Ruoyun had no choice but to extend her long arm like him.

A normal handshake, stop when it's enough.

Huo Jingcheng insisted on covering her with his whole palm, his rough palm clasping her soft palm tightly, his long fingers touching her inner wrist, his calloused fingertips rubbing over the pale blue vein on her inner wrist inadvertently.

Just a light touch, and it scared her out of her wits.

Su Ruoyun was startled, her hand exerting force suddenly, and the vein exploded even more obviously.

It wasn't until two clear throat-clearing sounds from Su Mingyan reached her ears that Su Ruoyun came back to her senses, realizing belatedly that this handshake had lasted too long, and hurriedly withdrew her hand.

Just as she wanted to say something to start a topic, she heard Su Mingyan say: "Mr. Huo wants to buy some tea to give to others."

"Introduce it to him."

Su Ruoyun said "Oh," then raised her arm, pointed in a direction, and signaled Huo Jingcheng to follow her: "The tea is over there."

The sales area was in the front courtyard, with walnut wood wall cabinets, and different types of tea arranged neatly on them.

Su Mingyan also followed, standing not far away, staring at the two unblinkingly.

Su Ruoyun's mental pressure increased sharply. She raised her hand to tidy the stray hair by her ear, pretending to ask Huo Jingcheng: "I don't know what kind of tea Mr. Huo wants to buy?"

"I don't understand tea; why don't you... introduce it to me, Miss Su."

After finishing, Huo Jingcheng strode forward with a big step, standing exactly beside Su Ruoyun.

When walking, his suit pants brushed against her skirt, causing ripples, overly intimate.

A rich shadow fell on Su Ruoyun's side, and the two figures in the shadow were intimate.

The smile at the corner of her mouth stiffened. Fearing that Su Mingyan would see something, she smiled brilliantly after recovering, smiling at Su Mingyan's attention.

"Okay."

This "okay" sounded like it had a taste of gritted teeth.

Then she raised her hand, her fingertips touching lightly, pointing at each jar of tea one by one. After introducing each tea, she asked: "May I ask Mr. Huo, which kind of tea do you want to buy?"

Huo Jingcheng raised his eyebrows and asked casually: "What do you think I should buy?"

As the words fell, the ambiguous words made Su Ruoyun's breathing stagnate, and she glared at him beside her inadvertently.

Still at it, very fun, right?

She said flatly: "This, it depends on you, Mr. Huo."

Huo Jingcheng's right arm lifted lightly, resting on the walnut wood wall cabinet, his left hand leaning on another cabinet. The whole person seemed to be an invisible barrier, isolating Su Ruoyun from the outside world: "Is there any Shifeng Longjing left?"

"..." Su Ruoyun.

"It's already gone." Her voice carried a trace of faint death.

Huo Jingcheng feigned ignorance, the smile in his eyes unhidden, saying "Oh~" meaningfully: "Who bought it?"

"..."

Su Ruoyun gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence.

The "unknown buyer" didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, changing his words obediently: "Then Gold Swift Eyebrows it is."

After finishing, he walked a small step to the side, standing apart from Su Ruoyun.

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun took a ceramic tea jar from a layer of the display cabinet gently, took a packaging bag, and started packing, while reporting a number casually, deliberately ripping him off heavily.

When Huo Jingcheng handed over the bank card, he took the opportunity to step forward, sticking to Su Ruoyun's side, blocking Su Mingyan's probing gaze completely with his tall, slender figure.

Seeing Su Ruoyun raise her hand to take it, his long arm suddenly stretched out, rubbing her fair hand back inadvertently.

He was simply a lecher.
