Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 35 Do you like eavesdropping?

Su Ruoyun lowered her eyes, looking at the steaming wontons in the bowl, and already understood what Aunt Li was talking about.

Her thoughts drifted back to last night. After stuffing the lip gloss into the corner of the drawer, she thought for a moment, hesitated, then took the lip gloss out of the corner and simply threw it into the trash can.

When Aunt Li suddenly brought it up, I felt a little reluctant, since the color had been discontinued and was no longer available.

Her hand holding the spoon tightened slowly. Su Ruoyun pursed her lips and lied through her teeth: "It probably fell into the trash can by accident. Could you please take it out and put it on my dressing table?"

"Okay," came Aunt Li's gentle reply.

Su Ruoyun then lowered her head and took a bite of the sugar-coated fried dough. The outer crust was crispy, the dough was soft, and the rich sweetness spread between her lips and teeth.

She didn't go to the teahouse today; instead, she accompanied Li Li to the beauty salon for a facial. By the time she picked up Miss Li, it was already 10 a.m.

Su Ruoyun gripped the steering wheel with one hand and pointed to something in the back for Li Li, saying, "The back is your birthday present."

They're all childhood friends, so there's nothing to worry about.

Li Li then asked directly, "What gift?"

"Your favorite Taiping Houkui."

As Su Ruoyun spoke, Li Li took out the tea box from the paper bag. The gift was beautifully wrapped, making it almost too beautiful to open.

Asking questions is one thing, dismantling them is another. Propriety cannot be disregarded. Li glanced at the tea box and pushed it back.

All she heard was Su Ruoyun asking her, "Where should we meet tonight?"

Su Ruoyun initially suggested using her teahouse as the venue for the banquet, but Li Li firmly objected, saying, "So you're trying to squeeze every last penny out of your best friend?"

In the end nothing is left.

"It will be settled in Lanxi."

Lanxi is a members-only high-end private club in Beijing that is not open to the public.

As they spoke, the Mercedes pulled into the parking space and arrived at the beauty salon.

Li Li has many beauty treatments, so the two of them decided to have lunch at the beauty salon as well, ordering takeout from the restaurant and setting out a table of Jiangzhe cuisine.

……

Around 7 p.m., the Mercedes drove into the Lanxi Club.

The bas-relief flower wall that catches the eye exudes an ancient charm, like a frozen work of art that instantly captures one's attention.

The parking attendant at the entrance came up, took the car keys from Su Ruoyun, and drove the car to the parking lot.

Inside the clubhouse, the environment is quiet and pleasant, with the hustle and bustle kept at bay. The warm yellow lights, like the afterglow of twilight, create a dreamlike interplay of light and shadow. The swaying bamboo shadows dance gracefully in the breeze, while a sturdy locust tree stands to one side.

In the center of the clubhouse, an ancient stone lies quietly, with two large characters engraved on it—Lanxi.

The spacious private room was bathed in the soft glow of a dazzling crystal chandelier, with wall lamps lining the walls and sheer curtains swaying gently in the breeze.

The air was filled with the fragrance of fine clothes and the graceful figures of people; most of the people who came were friends of friends, or friends of friends of friends...

The birthday party didn't come to a close until 10 p.m.

Su Ruoyun kicked off her high heels and nestled into the sofa like she had no bones, playing mobile games. Inadvertently, her gaze fell on the back of Xu Erhan's neck.

With her sharp eyes, she immediately spotted the red mark hidden under the thin veil. Staring at the mark for a few seconds, she subtly pursed her lips.

Then, Su Ruoyun lazily raised her arm, propped her head up, and lay casually on the sofa, her posture nonchalant yet her words serious as she taunted her: "Er'er, you've done something bad." The girl's voice was feigned calmness, her tone deliberately steady, as if she was suppressing something, but the subtle teasing in her words quietly seeped into the air.

Upon hearing this, Xu Erhan's eyes trembled slightly. In a moment of panic, she almost instinctively raised her hand to cover her chest. She turned her head to meet Su Ruoyun's teasing gaze, and a blush suddenly spread across her porcelain-white cheeks.

"Who messed things up?"

King Konger is online.

The birthday girl was sitting on the ground, unwrapping her gifts for the evening, when she suddenly heard those words. She turned around, her brows furrowed slightly, and asked, "It's my birthday, who dares to ruin it?"

Xu Erhan lowered her hand from her chest and said, "No one's going to ruin anything, go open your gift."

There were other people present in the small room, and Xu Erhan wanted to ask, but couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

A dozen minutes later, Su Ruoyun got up to go to the restroom, and she followed closely behind, blocking Su Ruoyun at the door. "How did you know?"

Su Ruoyun: "I didn't know either, but..."

She left half a sentence unfinished, but Xu Erhan understood that she was going to bomb her.

Before Xu Erhan could explode, Su Ruoyun smiled and said, "I'm going out for some fresh air."

"Want to get some fresh air?" Xu Erhan asked deliberately.

Knowing that she was seeking 'revenge', Su Ruoyun raised an eyebrow, did not retort, and gracefully turned and walked out of the corridor.

Bamboo shadows piled high, the courtyard deep and secluded.

Su Ruoyun walked for a few minutes in high heels and felt her feet getting sore. She wanted to find a place to rest her feet, and finally found a chair nearby, only to find that someone was already sitting there.

The courtyard lights cast warm yellow halos, gently scattering down, and in the interplay of light and shadow, a dark figure was clearly outlined.

Her gaze passed over the warm yellow light and fixed on the solid wood bench. The moment she saw the man clearly, she subconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt and turned to leave.

As the crisp sound of high heels drew closer, the man turned around and saw her clearly. Just as Su Ruoyun's skirt swayed and she was about to turn and leave, he spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice deep, "Boss Yun."

She felt her heart skip a beat. Although she was extremely unwilling, she still forced a professional smile and greeted Huo Jingcheng in a light but polite tone: "What a coincidence, Mr. Huo."

Out of politeness, and not wanting to speak from such a distance, Su Ruoyun took a few small steps forward, put her hands behind her back, and said, "What a coincidence, you're here too."

Huo Jingcheng nodded seriously, "It is quite a coincidence."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up, his tall figure casting a deep shadow on the ground.

Su Ruoyun took a step back, watching Huo Jingcheng take a few steps forward, then stopped and turned her head. "Aren't you coming?"

"I'll sit here and rest for a bit."

She had walked a long way and finally found a place to rest and catch her breath.

Besides, what happened last time was so embarrassing that it could fill a three-bedroom apartment. Apart from buying tea and drinking tea at the teahouse, she didn't want to spend any more time with Huo Jingcheng, not even for a second.

A playful smile played on Huo Jingcheng's lips, a subtle air of ambiguity swirling between his brows. He deliberately softened his voice, adding a touch of flirtation, and uttered a startling question: "You like eavesdropping?"

ha?
Su Ruoyun looked puzzled and subconsciously lowered her breathing, listening intently as he instructed.

The surroundings were completely silent, except for the rhythmic sound of surging water. At the same time, there was the unusual panting between the man and woman, which, under the cover of the water, added an indescribable sensuality.
