"What does my drinking have to do with you?" Su Ruoyun didn't spoil him, and directly retorted.

Huo Jingcheng leaned lazily against the sink, squinting at her: "How does it not have to do with me? What if you take advantage of me like the previous few times while drunk later, what should I do?"

"..."

The ceiling light in the restroom was voice-activated, brightening and dimming with the volume.

Su Ruoyun rolled her eyes secretly again, speechless, and said unpleasantly: "Then I'll leave, and I won't take advantage of you anymore."

Huo Jingcheng was noncommittal, looking at her with black eyes, lit the cigarette slowly, his handsome face hidden behind the swirling blue-white smoke, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.

As the words fell, she turned her head back, preparing to continue stepping forward.

In the restroom, the sound of flushing suddenly sounded, and the voice-activated light on the wall turned on in response, emitting thick, honey-like warm yellow light. In this overly rich light and shadow, the figures of the two had nowhere to hide.

Seeing this, Su Ruoyun planned to leave quickly, but Huo Jingcheng raised his hand and grabbed her slender wrist directly.

The footsteps from far to near in the restroom could be clearly heard. Su Ruoyun was anxious, wanting to break free from the restraint on her wrist with a backhand. Afraid that her voice would be transmitted into the restroom, she deliberately lowered her voice, carrying a trace of annoyance: "Are you sick?"

After several attempts to push him away without success, she was angry from embarrassment, directly reaching out to pinch the soft flesh on his waist, but the muscles on Huo Jingcheng's waist and abdomen were firm and powerful, hard as a rock. Her fingertips seemed to pinch on a wall, not only failing to pinch up, but causing her own hand to ache. Su Ruoyun furrowed her brows.

The voice-activated light on the wall turned on for a few seconds and then automatically dimmed.

Huo Jingcheng exerted force suddenly. In the blink of an eye, she was pulled over by him. His sexy thin lips whispered in her ear, his tone was very improper, carrying a bit of Beijing accent: "Where are you pinching?"

Su Ruoyun blurted out: "Dead pervert!"

He wrapped his long arms around her, holding her delicate little group, his tall and straight frame just like a solid wall, blocking the little person hidden in his arms strictly.

At the moment of entering his arms, accompanied by footsteps, the voice-activated light suddenly turned on again, and the orange light dispelled the darkness.

Su Ruoyun's body was half-stiff, not daring to act rashly, for fear of being seen by others, hiding carefully in Huo Jingcheng's arms.

The person in the restroom just stepped out of the door and saw the two people huddled together by the side of the sink at a glance. He was stunned for a moment, thinking it was some 'wild mandarin ducks' with unique hobbies, doing things in the restroom.

He subconsciously cast his gaze on the man's face facing him. The moment he saw Huo Jingcheng's face, he froze in place for one or two seconds. In the next second, his gaze couldn't help but look at the figure in Huo Jingcheng's arms.

Huo Jingcheng moved, blocking half of Su Ruoyun's body. After the person realized this change, he immediately withdrew his gaze and greeted respectfully, "Huozong."

Huo Jingcheng nodded slightly.

The two were also gathering in the same private room tonight. The person who set up the game was Chen Zheyan.

Having been in the circle for a long time, the young masters had long practiced into human spirits, and their eye-seeing ability was excellent. Without Huo Jingcheng opening his mouth, he immediately avoided his eyes, rushed to wash his hands, didn't even have time to pull paper towels to wipe, and left in a hurry.

Huo Jingcheng also gradually loosened the force on his hand. Su Ruoyun broke free from the restraint and scolded: "It's all your fault."

Originally there was nothing, but now, being pulled and hidden by him, it made it seem like there was really something between her and Huo Jingcheng.

Her skin was tender, and without using much force, a light pull left a large red patch.

Huo Jingcheng looked down at the red mark for a few seconds, raised his eyebrows, his black eyes were light, his expression was lazy, not at all like someone who had just 'forced' someone: "Why are you blaming me again?"

As the words fell, before Su Ruoyun could respond, a pleasant mobile phone ringtone suddenly sounded in the quiet courtyard, dazzling in the pitch-black night.

She looked down, and at a glance, she saw the note on the screen, just like the last time at the Lanxi club, as if she had done something bad and was caught, turning her back guiltily, her fingertips sliding across the screen, answering the phone, and calling softly: "Hello, Brother."

"..."

"Okay, then I'll be back soon."

As she spoke, Su Ruoyun hung up the phone, held the phone in her palm, swept Huo Jingcheng casually, and before leaving, she let out a snort from her nasal cavity.

Afterwards, she walked forward without looking back, leaving the restroom area.

After the person who came out of the restroom returned to the private room, the scene he just saw kept lingering in his mind.

Before leaving, because of curiosity, he couldn't help but look back. Although the surrounding light was dim, the profile of the woman in Huo Jingcheng's arms still clearly fell into his eyes.

Coincidentally, he had been to the 'One River Tobacco' tea house once and had the honor of seeing the tea house Boss Lady at the front desk. Her appearance was so standard that it was unforgettable.

Even with the angle and light problems, he still recognized Su Ruoyun with this glance.

There are factions in the circle, and the crown princes have their own private friendships. As everyone knows, Chen Zheyan and Huo Jingcheng have a good relationship.

That young master couldn't resist his curiosity, so he walked to Chen Zheyan who was sitting by the sofa and asked in a low voice: "Young Master Chen, does that 'One River Tobacco' tea house Boss Lady have any relationship with Huozong?"

Suddenly being asked this, Chen Zheyan was stunned. Although he was not a human spirit, he was not stupid. He wouldn't say things that were uncertain for no reason, laughed twice, and denied: "No."

The young master didn't believe his words, only thinking that there were too many people around, causing Chen Zheyan not to dare to tell the truth. He leaned to Chen Zheyan's side and asked again in a low voice: "I saw it all, does that Boss Lady have..."

He organized his wording: "... something going on with Huozong?"

Hearing this, Chen Zheyan narrowed his eyes and thought carefully about his words: Seen by others, has Third Brother already snatched the person?

The young master continued to ask: "Isn't that Boss Lady said to have a relationship with President Su of Hengfeng? Is it possible that Huozong and President Su play so fancy, and this woman can still..."

Since it reached this point, Chen Zheyan didn't cover it up anymore, wanting to explain properly for his Third Brother.

He picked up the brandy on the glass tea table. The cognac had just been taken out of the ice bucket, and the bottle still carried a bit of coolness.

He drank a mouthful fiercely, the spicy wine burning down his throat. He drank too fast, and a few drops of amber wine slid down the corners of his mouth slowly, saying: "What, what,"

"That man surnamed Su snatched his project, Third Brother wants to snatch his woman!"
