Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 45 No wonder your wife divorced you
"I didn't know who you were yesterday, and I'm sorry for saying those things. I've come here today to sincerely apologize to you..."

Qi Zhiwen chattered on and on the way, but Su Ruoyun didn't say a word the whole time. However, when she reached the covered walkway, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, stood on the steps, glanced at him sideways, her gaze calm and unwavering, and uttered four resolute words, "I don't accept it."

"..." Qi Zhiwen.

Qi Zhiwen forced a harmless smile. "Then, Miss Su, what do you think I should do for you to forgive the nonsense I said yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun frowned, narrowed her eyes, and after thinking for a few seconds, said in a light tone, "...The best apology is for you to stay away from me."

Qi Zhiwen could understand Su Ruoyun; upon careful consideration, what he had said yesterday was indeed excessive.

For those canaries who live off men, this might be commonplace and nothing out of the ordinary. But for a respectable young man like Su Ruoyun, who didn't hit him but only splashed him with a cup of water, it was already considered lenient.

As he was lost in thought, Su Ruoyun suddenly blurted out a sentence that made him turn his head, "Now I finally understand."

Qi Zhiwen frowned in confusion.

Su Ruoyun curled her lips into a slight smile, clicked her tongue in amazement, and said sarcastically, "No wonder your wife divorced you."

"..." Qi Zhiwen.

……

When Qi Zhiwen returned to the front yard, Chen Zheyan was comfortably nestled in a chair, enthusiastically cracking sunflower seeds, his hands sticky with saliva-covered shells.

He casually glanced up and saw his friend appear at the door. He quickly patted his hands, which were covered in crumbs, and stood up to greet him, "Old Qi, over here."

When Qi Zhiwen approached, Chen Zheyan asked, "Are you leaving yet?"

"No, I didn't even drink any tea when I came to the teahouse, why are you leaving?"

He then walked to the front desk, with Chen Zheyan following closely behind him.

A minute later, Xiao Hu looked at the reservation information in the system and said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qi, Mr. Chen, all the private rooms in our teahouse are booked for today. How about we drink in the lobby instead?"

"Given our status, you're letting us sit in the main hall?" Chen Zheyan asked incredulously.

Given their status, they would have been treated like royalty at any private club, estate, or bar they visited, but now they've been reduced to drinking tea in the lobby.

Xiao Hu didn't know why there were so many reservations today. Usually, no matter how many reservations there were, there would always be one or two rooms available. But today, by sheer coincidence, all the private rooms were already full.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Chen, all the private rooms are fully booked for today. Perhaps you could come back tomorrow, or I can arrange a quiet corner for you where you won't be disturbed. As compensation, our teahouse will offer you a complimentary snack."

Qi Zhiwen nodded and replied, "Okay."

Chen Zheyan was not happy and turned to look at Qi Zhiwen: "What's so good about it? You woke me up so early in the morning and didn't even give me a private room. I don't want it!"

……

Three minutes later, Chen Zheyan, holding a free melon seed in one hand and a free peanut in the other, reluctantly sat down in a corner of the lobby.

He casually peeled peanuts, tossed them into his mouth, chewed them, and mumbled indistinctly, "Old Qi, why didn't you call Old Third? Isn't this his favorite place?"

Qi Zhiwen thought to himself: How dare he call Huo Jingcheng again? He's already offended Huo Jingcheng on his behalf.

He replied irritably, "Eat your peanuts."

And so, Qi Zhiwen and Chen Zheyan sat there for the entire morning, and Su Ruoyun never showed her face again.

Chen Zheyan had lost count of how many naps he'd taken. He rubbed his face hard with both hands, looked at Qi Zhiwen who was leisurely sipping his tea, and said listlessly, "Old Qi, when are we leaving? Is this tea really that good?" "Wait a little longer," Qi Zhiwen said, glancing down at his wristwatch.

"What are you waiting for? I only ate a jianbing guozi this morning, and I'm starving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zheyan saw a delivery driver carrying a large bag of boxed meals walk in and place the meals on another long table next to the cashier.

He couldn't help but urge, "Old Qi, let's go quickly, I'm starving, can you—" handle that?

Before Chen Zheyan could finish speaking, Qi Zhiwen had already taken a step and walked towards the front desk.

"Huh?" He hurriedly followed, and after going around the folding screen, he saw Su Ruoyun talking to the food delivery driver.

Today was the monthly meal payment day. Su Ruoyun came to the front yard to pay the bill. After paying, she looked up and saw a tall and slender figure standing in front of her. "Why are you still here?"

Qi Zhiwen: "Waiting to buy tea."

Su Ruoyun paused, holding the invoice, and looked up at him: "Want to buy tea?"

"Yes, does Boss Yun have any recommendations?"

Su Ruoyun wasn't that aloof. She opened the teahouse to make money. She figured she might as well take advantage of the business that came to her. She turned and walked gracefully to the walnut wood display case against the wall, where different kinds of tea were neatly arranged.

She raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touching each can of tea, and then began to describe the aroma and taste of each tea...

"Mr. Qi, which type of tea would you like to buy?"

"White Hair Silver Needle".

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun gently took the ceramic tea canister from the display case and walked towards the cashier. Xiao Hu had just been called away to dinner, and now she was the only one left in the front yard. She picked up the packaging bag and began packing, while casually announcing a number.

"Damn it, boss lady, you're robbing me!"

Chen Zheyan couldn't help but swear. Even though he was quite knowledgeable and had sold gold in many places, the price of these mere two hundred grams of tea was more expensive than gold. "Boss lady, is this tea made of gold leaves?"

"No money?"

Su Ruoyun sized up the two of them for a few seconds, then took out the tea canister from the packaging bag, gently placed it back on the table, casually leaned back against the wall, lazily raised her eyes, and her sharp gaze went straight to them, carrying the arrogance in the bones of a noble family scion.

She stated decisively, "This is a small business; we do not offer credit."

"purchase."

Qi Zhiwen remained calm and composed, casually opening his wallet. His long, slender fingers pulled out a card, and despite the heartache, he declared firmly, "No matter the price, I'll buy it."

These words only earned Su Ruoyun a cold sneer. She reached out and took the bank card he handed her, skillfully inserted it into the POS machine, and with a soft beep from the machine, the receipt was slowly dispensed. She casually pulled it out and handed it to Qi Zhiwen expressionlessly.

After writing the three large characters with a flourish, Qi Zhiwen said, "I'd also like to get a membership card."

Su Ruoyun raised her finger and pointed to the price list on the solid wood cashier counter, gesturing for Qi Zhiwen to look down and check it. "The VIP card has three tiers. Which tier would you like to top up?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she paused deliberately, her tone rising, a hint of sarcasm subtly spreading out: "Someone as wealthy as Mr. Qi should have a starting price of one million, right?"

Old Qi: Ber, how come everyone knows that my wife and I are divorced?
