Chapter 167: The century-old problem—the falling into the water problem

"..." Huo Jingcheng.

Su Ruoyun's conjecture was not without basis. The disguised small "business negotiation meeting" in the tea house last time was still vivid in her mind.

Although the two could communicate normally, it was clear that neither was willing to give in to the other.

It could be seen from Su Mingyan always following her and Huo Jingcheng that he was clearly worried.

What she didn't know was that the reason Su Mingyan could communicate with him normally now was entirely due to Huo Jingcheng's concession.

The concession in Youran Ju was not in vain, at least it was exchanged for Su Mingyan's willingness to talk to him.

The soft velvet sofa was placed by the floor-to-ceiling window, the shimmering floor tiles and the lake and sky outside the window merged into one line, and the girl's expression was serious.

Seeing this, a smile rose in Huo Jingcheng's eyes, a meaningful light smile. His distinct fingertips lifted a strand of her hair, hooking it casually, twisting it at his fingertips, and the touch in his hand was smooth.

"Is that the image of your brother in your eyes?"

"..." Su Ruoyun.

Her clear eyes lifted, meeting the man's pitch-black and deep gaze. Su Ruoyun, who had been exposed, was silent.

She also knew that her brother really couldn't be considered a good person, but after Huo Jingcheng said this, she still had a little guilt toward Su Mingyan.

There was, but not much.

After a long time, Huo Jingcheng honestly explained and clarified for Su Mingyan: "It has nothing to do with him."

Su Mingyan didn't continue to block the profit points, and the progress of the Western Energy Project was fast, and it would start construction soon.

As his voice fell, Huo Jingcheng raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, feeling that compared to that old fox Su Mingyan who was wearing a sheepskin, he was still too good, knowing how to help explain.

If it were Su Mingyan, it would be good enough if he didn't take the opportunity to slander.

Su Ruoyun knitted her brows, it wasn't her brother, then who was it?

"Is there a problem with the company's internal management?"

She guessed one by one.

Seeing through her intention, Huo Jingcheng laughed lowly, his thin lips pulled open a fleeting arc, and he flicked her smooth forehead with his bent long fingers, the force was very light.

Then he spoke lazily:

"Baby, not everyone is as bold as your boyfriend, right?"

"..." Su Ruoyun opened her eyes wide in a daze, and after realizing it, she raised her hand to cover her forehead that had been flicked, thinking she had misheard.

This was the first time she heard him call her like this. Before, he was affectionately calling her girlfriend, or Little Bamboo.

The two words "baby," spoken from Huo Jingcheng's mouth, especially carried a tenderness that turned a hundred times.

Su Ruoyun's heart moved slightly. After the tide surged, she returned to calm. She put down her hand and laughed at him for not being ashamed.

Huo Jingcheng's brows were unrestrained, revealing an arrogant arrogance, "Why, don't you think your boyfriend is bold?"

"I think so,"

Su Ruoyun said, raised her head and kissed Huo Jingcheng's side face. She felt it wasn't enough, so she leaned over and kissed him again.

After pulling away, that pair of beautiful eyes stared at him silently, her nose deeply sniffing the mellow ebony sandalwood and faint tobacco smell on him, she couldn't help but speak: "I also think my boyfriend is really good-looking."

Huo Jingcheng was climbed by her shoulders and neck, and was kissed several times by her.

Her soft little hands held his handsome face, and the focus in her eyes was self-evident. He couldn't help but feel moved, and the large hand stroking Su Ruoyun's head moved more and more gently.

Huo Jingcheng slowly lowered his head, narrowing the distance between the two. As their eyes met, he continued to ask: "Do you like your boyfriend?"

"I like him." Su Ruoyun raised her hand and pulled a button on Huo Jingcheng's casual shirt to play with between her fingers.

Huo Jingcheng's eyes moved slightly, and he took the opportunity to speak: "Then when will you let your boyfriend appear in public openly?"

"Wait a little longer, look at my brother."

Su Ruoyun recalled the last time at the tea house, because of the sudden appearance of Huo Jingcheng and Su Mingyan, she didn't even get to find out the news from Li Wenye.

She pondered in her mind when she would have time to make an appointment with Li Wenye again.

What does his openness have to do with Su Mingyan?

Huo Jingcheng bit his back molars unhappily, childishly insisting on comparing who was better, "Who is more handsome, me or your brother?"

Start with looks first.

"Of course it's you." Su Ruoyun blurted out without thinking.

When it comes to looks, both of their features were heroic and deep, their contours were distinct, and their temperaments were the nobility and abstinence of noble sons.

To distinguish between high and low, Huo Jingcheng still poked her a little more. His features were upright and distinct, his brow bone was high, he had an excellent bone-structured face, and he was mixed with a trace of cold roguishness.

Her blurted out made Huo Jingcheng forget himself for a while, his thin lips curled slightly, and his voice was truly nonchalant.

"Do you like me or your brother?"

Understand further from feelings.

Su Ruoyun: "You."

Why would she like her brother? She wasn't a pervert.

"Then one day if I and your brother both fell into the water, who would you save?"

Huo Jingcheng dug holes, buried mines, and set traps for her step by step.

"..." Su Ruoyun.

Su Ruoyun never thought that this century-old problem would happen to her one day, and she was not the one asking, but the one being asked.

She was stunned in place.

Huo Jingcheng, who didn't get the same answer as the previous two times, narrowed his bewitching peach-blossom eyes, his expression clearly unhappy.

The living room didn't turn on the lights, but Su Ruoyun saw the appearance of light breaking in his eyes, staring at his black eyes without blinking, and after realizing it, she remedied: "Both of you can swim."

Su Mingyan learned to swim when the three siblings learned together, so she knew, and Huo Jingcheng had seen him swimming in the pool in Xiyuan.

Explaining was the same as not explaining.

"What if neither of us can swim?" He stubbornly insisted on an answer.

Su Ruoyun secretly slandered in her heart: How can there be so many ifs.

Her fingers changed to pinching his noble cufflinks, and her brain ran at high speed.

"... I believe that with the intelligence of the two of you, you won't let yourself fall into this situation that makes me worry." She spoke cleverly, her round apricot eyes opened wide, and her eyes were full of seriousness, making it easy for people to believe what she said.

Century-old problem, no perfect answer, this answer barely passed, but Huo Jingcheng was still not very satisfied.

"I am afraid of melting if I hold you in my mouth, and afraid of falling if I hold you in my palm, and you are willing to let me fall into the water, huh?"

His tail tone rose, as if questioning Su Ruoyun's answer.

Su Ruoyun tilted the topic, biting her lower lip.

He said he was afraid of melting if he held her in his mouth, and she inexplicably thought of /se/se/ things.

The warm touch /serviced/ the whole body...

In her mind, it was like a slow-motion movie, flashing back jump by jump.

By the time she came back to her senses, meeting Huo Jingcheng's half-smiling gaze, she turned her face away guiltily, avoiding his pursuing gaze.

Su Ruoyun stared at the high-rise scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, raised her hand and patted her forehead annoyedly, feeling that she was too /se/. ===== CHAPTER 168 =====
