Chapter 28 Misunderstanding the Relationship Between the Two
Before Huo Jingcheng could answer, Su Ruoyun pondered in her mind, connecting the penguin with herself, and after a slight twist, instantly understood his meaning.

Not to be outdone, she slightly raised her chin and glanced at him, "Penguins don't fall down."

The adorable little penguins are expert walkers in the snowy world.

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingcheng lowered his eyes to meet her bright pupils, raised an eyebrow, and then asked, "So you're a fox?"

The fox is cunning—slippery.

That's a really lame joke.

Su Ruoyun remained silent for a while, then, to be polite, slightly tugged at her lips and gave a polite smile, "Maybe."

She herself couldn't understand why so many unexpected things had happened in front of Huo Jingcheng. After thinking it over, she could only attribute it to the recent Mercury retrograde.

They comfortably attribute the cause to metaphysics, never admitting that it is their own problem.

Huo Jingcheng stared at her silently for a few seconds, seemingly sensing her perfunctory attitude, then turned around and prepared to continue walking.

Seeing this, Su Ruoyun quickly stepped forward, raised her hand again, and gently grabbed his forearm. Unlike the last time, which was fleeting, this time she held it tightly, and the sensation of touching it was more pronounced.

His forearms are strong and firm, with smooth and beautiful muscle lines that are well-proportioned and mature, and his body has a clear sense of mass, as if he could pick someone up in one hand.

Su Ruoyun had many fantasies in her mind, but when Huo Jingcheng turned around and looked at her, she immediately banished these indescribable thoughts from her mind.

A low, slow male voice asked, "Why are you pulling me?"

Su Ruoyun glanced at the man and woman who hadn't left the pavilion ahead. To avoid disturbing them with her loud voice, she deliberately lowered her voice and explained softly, "That's my friend, and that guy..." She paused for a second, "...is her ex-boyfriend."

After explaining, Su Ruoyun released her hand, took a step back, and then turned to leave.

Huo Jingcheng hadn't noticed before, but after she said that, he turned his head to look at the pavilion. He recognized the man and woman as He Jingrong and Ye Shi'an, and his eyes flickered slightly.

They were a well-known couple in the industry, perfectly matched in terms of social standing and childhood sweethearts, but... I've never heard of them breaking up.

Su Ruoyun had just taken a step forward when the voice, neither too loud nor too soft, came again, "Aren't you going to stay and take a look?"

She slowed her pace, glanced back at Huo Jingcheng, as if she were disgusted that a grown man like him could be so gossipy.

Huo Jingcheng said slowly, "What if your friend is wronged and you just leave like that?"

Because of this sentence, Su Ruoyun hesitated.

finally……

The two secretly hid behind a grove of bamboo.

Huo Jingcheng was tall and stood behind her. Right next to him was a fluffy head with a loose bun on the back of his head that swayed back and forth as Su Ruoyun peeked around.

Su Ruoyun focused her attention on He Jingrong and Ye Shi'an in the pavilion.

Because they were far apart, their conversation was not very clear; it could only be vaguely discerned that they were arguing.

Su Ruoyun turned her head to the side listlessly, and unexpectedly met a gaze that was indifferent and ambiguous. Under the tender moonlight, the man's eyebrows and eyes appeared even more profound.

The two exchanged a glance, and Huo Jingcheng leaned forward casually, whispering in her ear, "What are you looking at me for?"

With each breath, a breath brushed against Su Ruoyun's delicate earlobe, causing her to flinch sensitively. She blinked and silently looked back into the pavilion.

In the pavilion not far away.

This afternoon, He Jingrong learned from a friend that Ye Shi'an would be having dinner with clients here, so she came to wait for him and ask him in person why he wanted to break up.

He Jingrong suddenly grabbed Ye Shi'an's shirt and pressed, "What is the reason that makes you want to break up?"

Ye Shi'an lowered his eyes to look at her hand, but made no other move. He said indifferently, "What's the use of knowing the reason? You won't change anyway."

“I—” He Jingrong was speechless.

"You were the one who broke up with me, what does it have to do with me?" she said angrily. "Or is it my fault?"

He Jingrong was so angry at his attitude that she gritted her teeth. After her chest heaved slightly, her eyes reddened and reflected the water in them. She gently bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth.

Ye Shi'an watched as a tear slowly slid down He Jingrong's cheek, and instinctively raised his hand to wipe it away for her.

But to Su Ruoyun, who was behind the bamboo grove, this scene looked like Ye Shi'an was about to start a fight.

Without much thought, she pushed aside the bamboo blocking her way and coldly demanded, "What are you trying to do?"

Because of this sentence, Ye Shi'an stopped wiping away his tears, and raised one large hand halfway in the air, as if he was about to make a move.

Ye Shi'an and He Jingrong looked in the direction of the sound.

Su Ruoyun stepped forward quickly, half-blocking He Jingrong's path, staring directly at Ye Shi'an, and said coldly, "Hitting someone, that's not how the Lin family raises you, is it?"

Ye Shi'an glanced at He Jingrong as she loosened the collar of her shirt, then hastily wiped away her tears. He slowly lowered his arm, gave Su Ruoyun a look, and lazily asked, "Who said I was going to hit her?"

Su Ruoyun's words were reasonable and well-founded. "Then why are you raising your hand?"

"Raising your hand doesn't mean you're going to hit someone. Miss Su, you're being far too unreasonable." Ye Shi'an's lips curled into a sarcastic smile as he stared at He Jingrong.

"you--"

Before Su Ruoyun could speak, He Jingrong glared at Ye Shi'an and gently scolded him, "Why did you talk about bamboo like that? Apologize."

Two words that resonated deeply.

"..." Ye Shi'an.

Half a second later, "I'm sorry."

Upon hearing this, He Jingrong's expression softened slightly.

Ye Shi'an didn't want to look at this "forgetting her beauty for the sake of righteousness" anymore. He took a deep breath and turned to look outside the pavilion, where a tall and slender figure was standing.

He stared intently, taking a few seconds to recognize the person. "President Huo?"

Huo Jingcheng walked unhurriedly to the steps and greeted him, "President Ye."

He acknowledged the "President Huo" he had just been addressed as.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Huo?"

Huo Jingcheng did not speak, but glanced at Su Ruoyun. Ye Shi'an took in this glance and then nodded knowingly.

He Jingrong glanced at Su Ruoyun standing in front of her, then at Huo Jingcheng below the steps, her eyes darting back and forth.

She couldn't connect the two of them for a moment, and before she could figure out why they were together, Su Ruoyun turned to her and asked, "Are you alright?"

He Jingrong shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat quiet.

Ye Shi'an turned his gaze back to Su Ruoyun and said coldly, "We will handle our own affairs, so Miss Su need not trouble herself."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Huo Jingcheng, "Mr. Huo, aren't you going to take the person away?"

This statement clearly reflects a misunderstanding of the relationship between Huo Jingcheng and Su Ruoyun.

However, He Jingrong chimed in, "You and President Huo go first, I'll talk to Ye Shi'an."

"I--"
