Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 1 First Encounter: Splashing Tea All Over the Boss
As night deepens and the city lights begin to illuminate the small area, their soft glow creates a hazy glow.

Lick, nibble, bite, tear.

The aroma of mint is mixed with a faint tobacco scent.

The air was thick with heat.

……

A phone rang, jolting Su Ruoyun awake from her dream. She reached out and picked up the culprit that had disturbed her peaceful sleep.

"Hey." Her tone was rather unfriendly.

A friend's voice came through the phone, "Tsk, still asleep? That bottle of wine last night must have been really strong."

Su Ruoyun lay back down on the bed and said lazily, "If I'm still asleep, is it a ghost calling you?"

"Judging from your tone, you weren't having a wet dream, were you?" My friend smiled mischievously.

Unrestrained laughter came through the phone, and Su Ruoyun replied with a "Get lost."

She raised her hand and noticed a bite mark on the web of her hand. She examined it closely and asked, "What happened at the bar last night? Why do I have a teeth mark on my hand?"

Upon hearing this, her friend replied calmly, "It's nothing, you were just hugging and kissing a man randomly. The teeth marks are probably left by him."

"..." Su Ruoyun.

"This is nothing? Why didn't you stop me?"

My friend sighed helplessly, "You're too enthusiastic. The three of us combined couldn't stop you. You just keep sticking to people."

After she finished speaking, she didn't hear Su Ruoyun's voice for a long time. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"...The person is dead, do not disturb!"

Another burst of unrestrained laughter came from the other end of the phone.

Su Ruoyun was so angry that she didn't want to talk to her and hung up the phone directly.

-

In mid-May, the weather was getting warmer, with the temperature already reaching 30 degrees Celsius. Su Ruoyun entered from the east gate, drove her Mercedes to the open space in the courtyard, parked the car neatly, and got out.

An employee passing by saw her and greeted her, "Boss lady."

Su Ruoyun nodded slightly, locked the car, and went around to the front yard. She strolled leisurely on the cobblestone path, playing with her car keys in her hand. The key ring was wrapped around her index finger and swung back and forth, which showed her leisurely attitude.

As they walked into the front yard, Xiao Hu, the cashier at the front desk, spotted Su Ruoyun immediately and said in surprise, "The boss lady is here so early today."

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun blinked, then looked up at the clock on the white wall to the side. The time displayed was 12:35 noon. Compared to the owners of other shops, she hadn't actually arrived early.

Xiao Hu noticed her actions and chuckled twice. Usually, Su Ruoyun wouldn't come to the teahouse before one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and sometimes she might not even come at all. Today, she arrived earlier than usual.

The boss's wife is easygoing, which makes things easier and less stressful for the employees.

Su Ruoyun cleared her throat, raised her hand and patted Xiao Hu's shoulder, changing the subject, "Which private room did President Huo reserve?"

"Guanlan".

Upon hearing this, she raised an eyebrow, thinking, "Another one who has money to burn."

Guanlan is the highest-priced private room at Yichuan Tobacco, and she booked it for 100,000 yuan, excluding room fee and hourly fee.

"Ten thousand for a pot of tea? Tsk tsk," Su Ruoyun shook her head. "However, she'd be a fool not to make money when she can."

What time is the appointment?

Xiao Hu picked up the mouse, brought up the reservation information in the system, looked at the information displayed on the screen, and said, "Two o'clock in the afternoon."

Su Ruoyun lightly touched the ground with the toes of her right foot, leaned back against the wall, crossed her arms, and looked at the system on the screen, which listed Mr. Huo as one of the two people.

She had been running the Yichuan Tobacco Teahouse for almost three months and hadn't personally served anyone yet. The tea servers hired by the teahouse usually handled the customers. Last night, she received a message from Xiao Hu saying that Mr. Huo from Hongsheng had booked a private room. Mr. Huo of Hongsheng was a big shot in Beijing; before even turning forty, he had already reached the top of the business world. Most importantly… she guessed that Mr. Huo and her brother were most likely at odds.

When she opened her business, her brother made a small suggestion: he suggested that she hang a sign at the entrance with the nine characters "[Huo Jingcheng and dogs are not allowed to enter]".

Such deep-seated hatred made Su Ruoyun even more curious about what kind of person Huo Jingcheng was, that he could make her brother, a seemingly kind and gentle man, say such things.

That's why she arrived at the teahouse early today, ready to personally entertain this Mr. Huo.

Su Ruoyun stretched and thought it was still early, so she decided to take a nap. After informing Xiao Hu, she went to the lounge in the backyard.

In the early stages of designing the teahouse, Su Ruoyun planned a large lounge for herself, decorated exactly like her room at home, with identical furniture.

After entering the room, she went straight to the big bed and lay down, only waking up slowly when the alarm clock she had set rang at 1:30.

Su Ruoyun changed out of her T-shirt and jeans and picked out a moon-white cheongsam from the wardrobe. The stand-up collar and Chinese knot buttons accentuated her slender figure. Her two fair and long arms were bare, and she put her originally slightly curly and shawl-like long hair into a low bun and secured it with a hairpin. With each step she swayed, she was graceful and charming, and the tassels swayed back and forth, giving her a unique charm.

Upon entering the Guanlan private room, the necessary tea set had already been laid out. Su Ruoyun knelt on the futon cushion, waiting for the arrival of President Huo.

However... half an hour later, not a single person was seen.

Su Ruoyun glanced up at the wall clock, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. Her already limited patience was slowly fading; she hated people who were never punctual.

She initially intended to leave, but considering the 50,000 yuan for the private room and hourly fee, plus the 100,000 yuan for tea, Su Ruoyun decided to wait for him for another 15 minutes.

Twenty minutes passed, but Huo Jingcheng still hadn't arrived.

While searching for "customized wooden plaque engraving" on an online shopping platform, she used her right hand to support herself on the corner of the tea table, stood up, took a few steps off the platform, and rubbed her aching knees.

After sending the nine characters she wanted to be engraved to customer service, Su Ruoyun's gaze fell on the pot of jasmine tea on the tea table. She rolled her eyes slightly. It was a waste of her good intentions and the jasmine tea she had brewed for free to entertain him.

Her phone vibrated; it was a message from customer service.

"I'm sorry, dear, but we can't have insulting words engraved in our house. Please think about it again, would you like to have some other words engraved?"

"..."

She took a small step forward, picked up the teapot with the handle, and walked unhurriedly to the back window. Leaning lazily against the window, she poured out the entire pot of jasmine tea.

Outside the window were mountains, and next to the backyard was her rest room, so Su Ruoyun tilted the teapot without any hesitation. She even felt that she hadn't poured out all the tea yet, so she lifted the lid and shook it a couple of times.

Suddenly, a short, startled cry drifted in through the wooden window.

Su Ruoyun paused, her hand holding the teapot still, and realized something was wrong. She quickly leaned out.

She happened to meet a pair of deep, dark eyes, with a hint of coldness in them; those hawk-like eyes easily captured her heart.

A whole pot of lukewarm jasmine tea was poured directly onto the man's head, wetting not only his hair but also his suit. A few white jasmine flowers were even stuck to the lapel of his suit, standing out conspicuously against the black background.

The water droplets dripped down the man's forehead, but instead of looking disheveled, they washed away his cold and hard demeanor. His hair roots, damp with tea, were filled with steam.

Immediately afterward, another head popped out from under the eaves. Su Ruoyun's eyes darted around and caught sight of Xiao Li's stiff, bluish face. The two looked at each other and stared at each other in bewilderment.

Her fingers unconsciously gripped the edge of the windowsill, her fingertips turning white. Could it be such a coincidence? He really is Huo Jingcheng.

Su Ruoyun had heard some business people describe him before as ruthless, vicious, and cold-blooded.

Countless financial news articles flashed through her mind: things like destroying someone's supply chain, things like ruining someone's company...

Su Ruoyun closed her eyes, wondering if she would also be killed.

She suppressed the urge to bite her tongue and commit suicide, gently bit her lower lip, and her hands gripping the windowsill trembled as she spoke weakly and softly.

"Mr. Huo... I'm sorry."
