Chapter 45

~8 min read 1,424 words

"I didn't know your identity yesterday, I'm very sorry for saying those things, I'm here sincerely to apologize to you today……"

Qi Zhiwen chattered all the way. Su Ruoyun never opened her mouth from beginning to end. Until she walked onto the corridor, she stopped her forward pace abruptly, stepped on the steps with her front foot, glanced at him sideways, her gaze flat and waveless, and spat out four crisp words, "I don't accept."

"……" Qi Zhiwen.

Qi Zhiwen barely pulled out a harmless smile, "Then what does Miss Su think I should do for you to forgive me for the messy things I said yesterday?"

Hearing this, Su Ruoyun twisted her brows, narrowed her eyes, and after thinking for a few seconds, spoke in a light tone: "……You stay away from me, that's the best apology."

Qi Zhiwen could understand Su Ruoyun. The things he said yesterday, if he thought about it carefully, were indeed excessive.

For those little canaries who rely on men for a living, it might be common and not strange, but like Su Ruoyun, a decent wealthy family child, not raising her hand to hit him at the time, just splashing him with a cup of water, was already considered light.

Between his thoughts, Su Ruoyun suddenly popped out a sentence, causing him to turn his head, "I finally know now."

Qi Zhiwen frowned in confusion.

Su Ruoyun pulled the corners of her lips, hooked a certain degree, and clicked her tongue in wonder, her tone carrying sarcasm, "No wonder your wife divorced you."

"……" Qi Zhiwen.

……

When Qi Zhiwen returned to the front courtyard, Chen Zheyan was curled up in the chair comfortably, cracking melon seeds vigorously, his hands covered with melon seed shells mixed with saliva.

He raised his eyes casually, caught a glimpse of his friend's figure appearing at the door, hurriedly patted his palm full of debris, got up and greeted, "Old Qi, here."

When Qi Zhiwen approached, Chen Zheyan asked, "Ready to leave?"

"No, came to the tea house and didn't even drink tea, why leave."

He walked to the front desk immediately, and Chen Zheyan followed him closely.

A minute later, Xiao Hu looked at the booking information in the system and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, President Qi, Young Master Chen, the private rooms in our tea house have been booked out today. Do you want to drink in the lobby?"

"With our status, you let us sit in the lobby?" Chen Zheyan issued an unbelievable question.

With their status, where are they not treated as guests of honor in any private club, manor, or bar…… Now they are reduced to only being able to drink tea in the lobby.

Xiao Hu didn't know why, there were so many guests booked today. Usually, no matter how many bookings there were, there was always one or two empty, but didn't expect it to be so coincidental today that all the private rooms were full.

"I'm really sorry, Young Master Chen, all the private rooms today have been booked. Or you can come back tomorrow, or I can arrange a corner for you where no one will disturb you. As compensation, our tea house will give you a snack for free."

Qi Zhiwen nodded and responded "Good."

Chen Zheyan was not happy, turned his head to look at Qi Zhiwen: "What's good, you called me up early in the morning, didn't even give me a private room, I don't want it?"

……

Three minutes later, Chen Zheyan held free melon seeds in one hand and free peanuts in the other, his face full of reluctance, and sat in a corner of the lobby, grinding and grinding.

He peeled peanuts one after another, threw them into his mouth casually, his mouth chewing up and down, and muttered vaguely: "Old Qi, why don't you call Third Brother, isn't this his favorite place?"

Qi Zhiwen thought: He didn't dare to call Huo Jingcheng anymore, he even offended people for him.

He replied unhappily: "Eat your peanuts."

Just like that, Qi Zhiwen and Chen Zheyan sat for a whole morning, and Su Ruoyun never showed up again.

Chen Zheyan couldn't remember how many naps he had made up. He rubbed his face hard with both hands, looked at Qi Zhiwen who was leisurely tasting tea, and said weakly: "Old Qi, when are we leaving, is this tea really that good?"

"Wait a little longer." Qi Zhiwen lowered his eyes and looked at the watch on his wrist.

"Wait for what, I only ate a pancake fruit in the morning, and now I'm starving to death."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Zheyan saw a delivery master carrying a large bag of boxed lunches walk in. The boxed lunches were placed on another long table beside the cashier.

He couldn't help urging: "Old Qi, let's go quickly, if you starve me, you—" can you afford it?

Before Chen Zheyan could finish, Qi Zhiwen had already taken a step and walked toward the front desk.

"Eh?" He followed hurriedly, bypassed the folding screen, and saw Su Ruoyun talking to the delivery master.

Today was the day to settle the meal money every month. Su Ruoyun came to the front courtyard to pay the bill. As soon as she finished settling the bill and looked up, she saw a tall and slender figure standing in front of her, "Why are you still here?"

Qi Zhiwen: "Waiting to buy tea leaves."

Su Ruoyun's hand holding the invoice paused, raised her eyelids and looked at him: "Want to buy tea leaves?"

"Right, does Boss Yun have any recommendations?"

Su Ruoyun wasn't that aloof. Her purpose in opening a tea house was to make money. It would be a waste not to do business delivered to her door. She turned and walked gracefully to the walnut wood wall display cabinet on the side, where different types of tea leaves were arranged neatly.

She raised her hand, her fingertips touched lightly, pointing at each jar of tea leaves, and then began to introduce the fragrance, taste…… of each tea leaf.

"May I ask President Qi, which kind of tea leaves do you want to buy?"

"White Hair Silver Needle."

Hearing this, Su Ruoyun took the ceramic tea jar from the display cabinet with gentle movements and walked to the cashier. Xiao Hu had just been called by her to eat. At this moment, only she was left in the front courtyard. She reached out and took the packaging bag and started packing, while reporting a number casually.

"Damn, Boss Lady, are you robbing money."

Chen Zheyan couldn't help but burst out a foul language. Even though he could be considered well-informed and had spent money in many places, the price of this mere 200 grams of tea leaves was more expensive than gold, "Boss Lady, is your tea leaf gold leaf?"

"No money?"

Su Ruoyun looked at the two of them for a few seconds, then reached out and took the tea jar out of the packaging bag, placed it back on the table gently, leaned back against the wall lazily, raised her eyes lazily, and her sharp eyes forced straight over, carrying the arrogance in the bones of the wealthy family children.

She spoke crisply and decisively: "This shop is a small business, no credit."

"Buy."

Qi Zhiwen's expression was calm. He opened his wallet calmly, his distinct long fingers took out a card, endured the heartache, and said sonorously: "No matter how much money, I will buy it."

These words only exchanged for a cold sneer from Su Ruoyun. She reached out and took the bank card he handed over, inserted it into the POS machine skillfully. With a light sound from the machine, the receipt was slowly spit out. She pulled it out casually and handed it to Qi Zhiwen expressionlessly.

After writing the three characters dashingly, Qi Zhiwen added: "I also want to apply for a membership card."

Su Ruoyun pointed her finger at the price list on the solid wood cashier, signaling Qi Zhiwen to look down, "VIP cards are divided into three levels, which level do you want to top up?"

After the words fell, she paused deliberately, her tone rising, and the sarcasm hidden in it quietly permeated: "Like President Qi, who is so rich, should it start at 1 million?"

?? Old Qi: Ber, why does everyone know that my wife and I have already divorced?
