Chapter 68

~7 min read 1,365 words

Chen Xiangwei had a slight Hong Kong accent, but Huo Jingcheng still understood this "Cousin-in-law".

In an instant, an inexplicable pleasure surged from the bottom of his heart, and his whole body felt indescribably comfortable. A hum of laughter overflowed from his nasal cavity, but before the corners of his mouth could rise, the next second...

"What are you calling randomly?!" Su Ruoyun widened her eyes, as if she had been frightened by her, with a bit of anger on her face, and turned her head to scold lightly.

In the bar, the dim lights flowed, and the light fell on her face. In the flickering light and shadow, it almost exposed the panic in her heart.

The little cousin was ignorant, opened her eyes wide, her eyes full of confusion, and asked: "Isn't it?"

She had just seen Su Ruoyun and Huo Jingcheng look at each other several times. She only saw Huo Jingcheng staring tightly at Su Ruoyun, and Su Ruoyun glaring at Huo Jingcheng. Their auras matched each other, and she thought the two were 'flirting'.

Plus it was Huo Jingcheng who called the bar owner to solve the matter, so she took it for granted that her cousin was dating him.

"It can be." Huo Jingcheng interjected at the right time, with one hand in his pocket and a lazy smile on the corners of his mouth, revealing his good mood at the moment.

As soon as the words fell, it earned him a fierce glare from Su Ruoyun.

Then she turned to explain to the somewhat dazed Chen Xiangwei: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is just an ordinary customer of my Tea House, surnamed Huo."

Su Ruoyun deliberately emphasized the tone of the two words "ordinary", word by word, trying to completely dispel Chen Xiangwei's absurd idea.

Chen Xiangwei knew that Su Ruoyun had opened a Tea House in Sijiucheng. After her cousin's explanation, she changed her words and thanked him politely: "Mr. Huo, thank you."

Although one of the parties involved clarified the 'scandal', Chen Xiangwei caught a glimpse of Huo Jingcheng's not-so-innocent eyes and looked suspicious.

She hadn't fallen in love, but she hadn't eaten pork, hadn't she seen a pig run? Her little eyes looked at this one, then at that one, and her gaze turned back and forth on Su Ruoyun and Huo Jingcheng several times.

Su Ruoyun couldn't bear this ambiguous gaze, grabbed Chen Xiangwei's collar, and dragged her out of the bar like a chick.

Before leaving, she glared at Huo Jingcheng again, but that guy was indifferent, the corners of his mouth hooked into a playful smile, as if it were a silent "provocation".

Chen Xiangwei had no power to resist, gave a light "Eh", and hurriedly gripped her collar tightly, her fingertips turning white, pulling hard to pull out a gap to breathe, trying her best to avoid falling into the danger of suffocation.

Until she walked out of the bar and Su Ruoyun let go, she came back to her senses from that panic, and with a bit of innocence and doubt, asked belatedly: "Cousin, are you shy?"

"..." Su Ruoyun.

Sometimes she really wanted to curse.

Chen Xiangjin's appearance instantly broke the surrounding silence, effectively relieving Su Ruoyun's embarrassment. He walked quickly toward the two and asked in a low voice: "Cousin, is everything okay just now?"

He returned to the bar after answering a phone call, but didn't find Chen Xiangwei. After asking the waiter, he learned about the situation that had just happened. His heart tightened suddenly, and without caring about anything else, he immediately chased out of the bar. Seeing Chen Xiangwei and Su Ruoyun safe and sound from a distance, the heart that had been hanging finally landed.

"It's okay, just now—" Chen Xiangwei wanted to say that it was Huo Jingcheng who called the owner, but met Su Ruoyun's deterrent gaze, and the words on her lips were swallowed back.

Suppression from her cousin.

She pouted, wanting to speak but stopping, and in the end, didn't say anything more.

Su Ruoyun sent the two back to the hotel where they were staying. Stepping into the luxurious high-end suite on the top floor, with a "clatter", the warm yellow light instantly filled her vision. She stopped at the door, one hand on the door frame, and didn't step into the room.

Su Ruoyun called out to Chen Xiangwei who was entering the door, giving a thousand instructions and repeating repeatedly that she must not reveal what happened tonight to the family.

Chen Xiangwei tilted her head, blinked her eyes and asked: "Why?"

"If they find out, don't even think about going to that kind of place again in the future."

After all, if the family knew that she had taken the two youngest children in the family to a bar to have fun, even if her aunt and uncle were magnanimous and didn't pursue it, Ms. Ming would definitely not let her off easily, and there would be a severe 'criticism'.

Chen Xiangwei made a guarantee to keep her mouth shut, and Su Ruoyun left with peace of mind.

Chen Xiangwei stood on the spot, watching Su Ruoyun's back slowly merge into the gloom of the corridor until it completely disappeared. She then turned around, gently closed the door, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and yawned.

At this time, Chen Xiangjin, sitting on the sofa, unhurriedly unbuttoned his cufflinks. The two platinum cufflinks were thrown away by him at will and landed on the coffee table. The cufflinks rolled a few times along the smooth tabletop, making a series of crisp sounds.

He raised his eyes to look at his sister and asked: "Cousin, what did she say to you?"

Chen Xiangwei had already made a guarantee to Su Ruoyun, so naturally, she wouldn't reveal the matter to Chen Xiangjin.

She shook her head, refusing to say anything.

It's just that the two were twins. Although it didn't reach the point of being telepathic, each other's thoughts were guessed correctly.

Chen Xiangjin pondered and asked casually: "Could it be that you met someone at the bar tonight?"

The words popped out of Chen Xiangwei's mouth uncontrollably: "How did you know!"

By the time she realized it, she hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, but it was already too late.

"Tell me, what exactly happened."

After Chen Xiangwei told the whole story, she specifically instructed Chen Xiangjin to make sure he didn't spread the matter.

Chen Xiangjin's expression was calm, without ripples, and he just asked lightly: "You said his surname is Huo?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiangwei nodded gently and replied: "That's how Cousin introduced him to me."

As the words fell, she glanced at the wall clock on the wall. It was already around eleven o'clock. She raised her hand to untie the hairband binding her hair, and a head of black and bright green silk scattered down like a waterfall, saying softly: "I'm going to sleep first."

The high-end suite had multiple bedrooms. Her parents lived in the suite next door and didn't live with them.

Chen Xiangwei walked toward the room with unhurried steps. Before stepping into the room, she turned to Chen Xiangjin on the sofa and said "Good night".

Only Chen Xiangjin was left in the living room. He folded his shirt sleeves up a few times, revealing a section of his lean forearm, raised his hand to take the computer from the coffee table, and the cold light emitted by the screen fell faintly on his face. He saw his slender and fair fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, and the tapping sound was particularly clear in the silence.

He wasn't some 'sister-con', but someone suddenly jumped out, wanting to be his cousin-in-law in an unclear way, so he also had to go and check it out carefully.

?? In Chapter 44 earlier, the new internal system of the Tea House was made by the little cousin.

? Spoiler: On the day the underground relationship sees the light of day, the little cousin plays a major role.
