~7 min read 1,363 words

Cao Cao liked other people's wives, and Huo Jingcheng's behavior now was no less.

When Qi Zhiwen entered the door, he also sighed the same way as Chen Zheyan.

Qi Zhiwen clicked his tongue twice, stared at Huo Jingcheng's face without blinking for a few seconds, and a schadenfreude smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, slowly saying, "This slap is not light."

After the ice pack reduced the swelling, it was much better than before, but the clear five-finger print could still be seen. He couldn't stop shaking his head and commented, "That woman is really ruthless, both her heart and her hands are ruthless."

"It must be that Third Brother's lying technique is not good. You have to learn from Old Qi how to coax your goddess into your hands."

Huo Jingcheng held a scattered smile at the corners of his mouth and added the last sentence unhurriedly, "As a result, the goddess discovered his true face and divorced him in less than three years, and even didn't want the child."

"……" Qi Zhiwen.

"At least it's divorce without leaving home, living under the same roof, remarriage is sooner or later." He said it with great ambition.

Family marriage, the interweaving and binding of multiple interests, once divorced, the relationship between the two families will inevitably be affected. Tearing faces and making fish die and nets break will make each other's faces look bad and become gossip jokes for others. So, at worst, it can only be "divorce without leaving home." Even if the marriage relationship is dissolved, it must be done for outsiders to see.

Qi Zhiwen frowned in dissatisfaction, "Why are you talking about me again? Isn't it about you and that Boss Lady?"

He held the cigarette case, shook out a cigarette, the white cigarette body exposed a small half, and his distinct fingers took out the cigarette and placed it between his fingers. The cigarette butt tapped the table one after another.

After pondering for a few seconds, he held the cigarette between his lips, his fingers reached for the lighter on the side, and while lighting the cigarette for himself, he said vaguely, "Do you really want to get that Boss Lady?"

"You haven't even negotiated the terms with her, how could she be willing? No matter what, she is Su Mingyan's little star on the surface."

They were all friends, so there were no reservations in speaking. Qi Zhiwen felt that since people were willing to be Su Mingyan's little star, they must be able to be pried with money.

Chen Zheyan shook his head, but held the opposite opinion, "I don't think this is so easy. Su Mingyan gave her that courtyard house, the market price is as high as hundreds of millions, not to mention the money given privately, that must not be a small amount. Would she abandon such good benefits just for Third Brother?"

He almost hammered the nail on the head and "declared": "If she liked Third Brother, she wouldn't have slapped him."

Qi Zhiwen: "Then you mean Third Brother can't afford such a little thing?"

"Hey, don't, I didn't say that." Chen Zheyan spread his hands, looking like "I didn't."

"……"

Listening to his friends' "discussion," Huo Jingcheng leaned back on the chair, his long legs crossed, his eyes slightly closed, his hands on the armrests, and he said it lightly, "Take your time, no rush."

Qi Zhiwen looked at Huo Jingcheng, who was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, narrowed his eyes, turned to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, smoked a cigarette thoughtfully, and exhaled a breath slowly.

……

Because of this kiss, Su Ruoyun's mood was stirred to the bottom. Only when she returned home and saw "Panda" did the depression in her heart gradually dissipate.

The obedient and soft little cat was squatting on the sofa seriously, while Su Ruoyun sat on the floor on the wool carpet, looking at it face-to-face, stroking the cat's back lightly.

Her thoughts gradually drifted back to the morning.

Compared to the "fleeting touch" of the first accidental contact, this time in the morning, the man's thin lips were truly and genuinely pressed against her lips.

The slightly cool and soft touch still lingered, and fragments, like an old movie, played back frame by frame in her mind.

Su Ruoyun shook her head, shaking the picture out of her mind, just treating the sudden kiss in the morning as Huo Jingcheng's whim.

The next morning, Su Ruoyun went to the tea house as usual, but saw an uninvited guest.

Qi Zhiwen had been thinking all night, tossing and turning, always wanting to handle this matter for his friend, so he came to the tea house.

Walking to the front desk, with a faint smile on his face, he said politely, "Hello, I want to see the Boss Lady of your tea house. I don't know if she is in the store now?"

Xiao Hu still followed the convention and directly refused, "Sorry, our Boss Lady doesn't see guests."

"Please help me ask, just say Qi Er has something to do with her."

He spoke sincerely and politely, so Xiao Hu had to walk to the side courtyard. She knocked on the door, and the crisp sound spread in the air.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the visitor casually. After seeing it was Xiao Hu, she lowered her eyes again, focusing on the tea cup in her hand. She held the tea spoon lightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Boss Lady, there is a President Qi outside who wants to see you."

Su Ruoyun's tone was idle, carrying a hint of nonchalance, "Which President Qi?"

"It's……" Xiao Hu walked to Su Ruoyun's side, leaned over slightly, put her head to her ear, and whispered.

Hearing this, Su Ruoyun raised her eyebrows slightly.

Qi Zhiwen? What does he want with her?

"Then please invite him over."

By the time Qi Zhiwen crossed the threshold unhurriedly, it was a few minutes later. He sat opposite Su Ruoyun.

Su Ruoyun took a clean cup from the Phoebe tray on the long table, picked up the teapot at hand, and poured a cup of warm water for Qi Zhiwen.

Taking advantage of the time she poured tea, Qi Zhiwen looked at her unobtrusively. These days, it was raining in Sijiucheng, and the weather was slightly cold. She was wearing a one-shoulder long-sleeved top, the neckline sliding down along her shoulders, revealing exquisite collarbones and a slender neck. Simple black jeans, the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing bony ankles.

She was beautiful, her face delicate and good-looking, her long hair half-tied at the back of her head, a few scattered strands of hair adding a literary feel. When sitting quietly on the tatami, lowering her head and covering her eyebrows, she looked like a standing lotus. When she didn't smile, she was half-cold and unapproachable.

When the glass was placed by Qi Zhiwen's hand, he picked it up and took a sip, using the cup to cover most of his face, hiding his intentions.

When he put down the cup, Qi Zhiwen had already prepared his draft in his heart, but……

Planning slowly is the most effective way, and being straightforward will ruin things instead.

The slap on Huo Jingcheng's face was still vivid in his mind.

So, he circled the topic around and around, but didn't get to the point. He was talking about the tea house's business being good, or discussing what tea leaves the tea house had, but didn't show the willingness to buy.

Su Ruoyun's breath sank slightly, her delicate brows furrowed, and she said straight to the point, "What exactly do you want with me?"
