Chapter 67

Unable to resist the coquettish offensive of her cousins, Su Ruoyun finally softened her heart and eventually took them along.

Not daring to let the elders know, Su Ruoyun only simply said she was taking them out for a spin. She also hid it from Su Mingyan and Su Jiayi, fearing being told she was corrupting the children.

Coming to a bar for the first time, Chen Xiangjin and Chen Xiangwei both appeared a bit excited, looking around with novelty, refusing to go to a private room, only wanting to stay at the bar counter to feel the atmosphere of the bar.

Su Ruoyun didn't insist on taking the two, only instructing them to take good care of themselves. Bars were a mixed bag, so they should be careful. Some people lost their sense of proportion after a few drinks. Then she turned and walked toward the private room on the second floor.

Tonight, she was all alone. Su Ruoyun didn't drink, just opened a can of beverage, played a few rounds of ANGRY BIRDS in the private room, and ate a few plates of cut fruit.

Around 9:30, she went out to the restroom. After walking out of the restroom, she prepared to send the two children back to the hotel.

As soon as she went out, Su Ruoyun stood in front of the washbasin and saw Huo Jingcheng's figure through the mirror. Her movement of turning the faucet paused, and then she raised her hand calmly.

Huo Jingcheng also felt quite surprised. The steps he originally wanted to take turned abruptly, and he stood back in his original position, inadvertently letting his gaze fall on the pair of small hands as delicate as white jade in the washbasin, and suddenly asked: "Why aren't you wearing the bracelet?"

Hearing this, Su Ruoyun lowered her eyes subconsciously, her gaze falling on her left wrist, which was empty.

Both Su Mingyan and Su Jiayi had been to the auction. She had no bottom in her heart and wasn't sure if they had paid attention to this bracelet. After all, at the auction, she only bid on a sapling and didn't bid on any other items.

If discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable, so she had taken it off these past few days.

"It's too precious. When you come to the Tea House, I'll return it to you."

Hearing this, a faint smile overflowed in Huo Jingcheng's eyes. With his arms crossed, he asked knowingly: "Why, can I go to the Tea House now?"

"... If Mr. Huo doesn't want to come, I can have someone send it to the Bank of China." Su Ruoyun pulled out a commercial smile at the corner of her mouth.

He changed his words without hesitation, his voice low and hoarse: "I'll come to the Tea House in a few days."

After saying this, Huo Jingcheng took a step forward, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he said clearly word by word: "At that time, will Boss Yun entertain me personally?"

Su Ruoyun squeezed some hand sanitizer while saying without hesitation: "No."

"Why?" He asked.

"I generally don't go out to meet guests." As she said this, Su Ruoyun lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze, and focused on rubbing the bubbles in her palms.

Huo Jingcheng pondered, then took a long stride and blocked her way directly, his tone hiding a bit of ill intent: "Then why did you entertain me before?"

"That's because—" Su Ruoyun was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain the reason, and associated it with the day of the auction, the answer Huo Jingcheng said, he only told his wife.

At the moment the words left her mouth, she changed her words: "Because you are generous with money, so I entertained you."

The implication was that it was all for the sake of money.

Su Ruoyun washed her hands clean and turned to leave. Her hair tips turned in the air, and a faint scent of iris drifted over, reaching Huo Jingcheng's nose.

Huo Jingcheng narrowed his eyes slightly. That wisp of iris fragrance lingered from the tip of his nose and entered his blood circulation.

He didn't stop her, just walked with leisurely steps, following behind her unhurriedly.

First-floor bar counter.

Chen Xiangjin went out to find a quiet place to answer the phone, leaving only Chen Xiangwei at the bar.

She picked up a freshly mixed cocktail and was just about to taste it when a frivolous voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

"That's not how you drink alcohol?"

She cast her gaze in the direction of the sound, sizing up the man on the bar chair next to her without a trace.

The man was full of nobility, dressed in high-end custom-made clothes, wearing an expensive watch on his wrist, but he looked listless, with puffy eyes, obviously caused by excessive indulgence in pleasure.

Chen Xiangwei ignored him, took a small sip of the cocktail, and after signing the bill, prepared to leave the bar.

Who knew that when the man saw her about to leave, he directly raised his hand and grabbed Chen Xiangwei's wrist, saying eagerly: "Hey, don't go."

Her brows furrowed tightly, she shook off his hand forcefully, and said coldly: "Don't touch me!"

The man immediately became cheeky: "Oh my, quite a fiery temper."

Hearing this, Chen Xiangwei's face turned ugly. She had been spoiled by her family since she was a child. Seeing this man 'insult' her like this, her temper naturally flared up immediately.

She took the cocktail on the bar counter and splashed it toward the man without hesitation.

Caught off guard, the man's bangs were slightly wet, his face was wet, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "You—"

Chen Xiangwei glared back at him without showing weakness.

Seeing this, the man raised his hand, looking like he was about to hit someone after being embarrassed and angry.

Over there, Su Ruoyun, who was coming downstairs, happened to see this scene and hurriedly stepped forward, while Huo Jingcheng, who was following her, had the waiter on the side call the bar owner.

Su Ruoyun turned sideways to block in front of Chen Xiangwei, raised her eyelids to meet the man standing opposite. Chen Xiangwei turned her head to look at Su Ruoyun's profile and called out timidly: "Cousin."

Su Ruoyun had never shown her face outside, and few people in Sijiucheng knew she was the eldest daughter of the Su family.

Seeing that the two opposite were girls, the man didn't get angry but laughed, laughing more and more wildly, and his tone was not as tough as before: "Everyone is here to drink, don't make it so ugly, I'll treat you to a drink."

There were many people watching around. Just as Su Ruoyun was thinking about whether to call Su Mingyan, not long after, the owner of the Butterfly Bar appeared. He was dressed in a stiff suit, looked mature and neat, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and walked toward the bar with steady steps, unhurriedly.

The owner looked indifferent, leaning lazily against the bar, just glanced at the man casually, then raised his hand to summon several burly and muscular bartenders, who controlled him in a few strokes. A few minutes later, the man was thrown out of the BUTTERFLY bar in a sorry state.

After handling the matter, the bar owner raised his hand to cover his mouth, yawned, and then walked toward Huo Jingcheng with leisurely steps: "The matter has been handled for you."

Huo Jingcheng raised his eyebrows slightly and thanked him simply: "Thanks."

"You're welcome."

On the other side, Su Ruoyun took this scene into her eyes, understanding that it was Huo Jingcheng who had someone call the bar owner. Due to her upbringing, she led Chen Xiangwei over to thank him.

Chen Xiangwei cast her gaze at Huo Jingcheng, who was staring fixedly at Su Ruoyun, stared carefully for a while, and then called out crisply to Huo Jingcheng: "Cousin-in-law."
