Hearing Hua Junli's words, He Ruiting could not help but laugh and shake his head. He picked up the wine cup on the table, took a sip, and did not speak for a long time.
She turned her gaze to his face, looking at his silent face, she could not help but sigh. Even if he did not say it, but she could tell that he had fallen in love.
He didn't know what ability that woman had to be able to tightly grasp onto his heart.
"How long are you going to sit here?" Hua Junli kept his thoughts, and his enchanting red lips formed a faintly discernable smile, as his voice turned pleasant to the ears. If he didn't know that she was once the evil woman that could shake the entire shopping mall, he would have simply thought that he was the owner of a bar.
Hua Junli's words were something that even he himself did not know how long he would sit for.
Seeing him lose his composure, he did not ask anymore. He silently stood up, tidied up the wrinkles on his clothes, and quietly left just like her.
Right now, only He Ruiting was left, and there were also the occasional sounds of him singing. Other than that, there was nothing else.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but it was as if the him of today didn't want to pay attention to anything else. It was only when Hua Junli arrived once more that he broke the silence.
"Stop drinking, since when did President He become someone who was addicted to alcohol like his life?" She stepped forward and took the wine cup. He Ruiting did not snatch it away as well.
She placed the wine cup rather far away, walked to his side, and lightly patted his shoulder. Laughing lightly, she said, "You really can drink. Did you not know how much time has passed since you arrived at this place?
Hearing her words, He Ruiting's body trembled, his thoughts became complicated.
But he was afraid that if he went back by himself, Su Jinyi would not want to live there. Hence, other than him coming out, there was no other way.
He thought about it for a long time and finally said, "It's not easy to meet you. Isn't it disrespectful to go back so early?"
Hua Junli saw that he, who was so quiet that he did not want to talk, was now able to tease his. He laughed involuntarily and did not expose him, and continued following his words: "Since President He already said that, then I am driving people away to a place that is disrespectful to my guests.
He Ruiting did not reply this time. Instead, he stood up and pretended to leave with her.
She raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms over her chest, and teased, "You're so obedient, shouldn't I give you the reward you want?"
Hua Junli's words sounded very ambiguous, but since the two of them had known each other for so many years, he naturally understood that they were teasing him. He Ruiting chuckled and did not respond.
She saw that his reaction was a little boring, so she curled her lips and turned to walk in the other direction. Not long after, she raised her arm and used her slender fingers to gently push open a door.
Originally, He Ruiting thought that he would be welcoming the darkness, but he didn't expect that the somewhat blinding light would directly shine into his eyes, forcing He Ruiting to raise his hand to block it.
"You didn't expect me to live here. Are you surprised?" Hua Junli chuckled and took the initiative to walk in. He sat on the soft bed and crossed his legs. He took out a cigarette from the bed and slowly lit it.
He Ruiting slowly walked in, looked around, found a place to sit, and then slowly sat down.
"I remember that you never lived in such a small place. The house used to be large, but it allowed all the employees to live in it."
"It used to be very good, but now it's not bad either. This place is very warm, isn't it?" Hua Junli directly extinguished the remaining smoke, as he spoke unhurriedly.
As if he had heard a joke, he scoffed, his gaze carrying ridicule."Warm? I didn't expect you to say something like that now."
Hua Junli smiled slightly, he got up and took out a bottle of the older wine from the wine cabinet. After opening it, he poured two cups of wine, picked it up and walked over to He Ruiting, passing it to him.
"I'll be old as well. The momentum I had when I was young is gone. Women and men are still not the same."
"That depends on what you think. I never brainwash people, and neither do you."
He Ruiting took the cup from her hand and raised his hand. The two of them gently touched it and laughed at each other as they chatted.
As for Su Jinyi, who was aimlessly walking on the street, the disappointment in her eyes never faded. Sometimes, when she was tired of walking, he would rest on a bench on the street for a while.
"Lady, are you alright? Do you need me to bring you to the hospital?" There would always be a few worrisome outsiders present. That person walked in front of Su Jinyi and waved his hand in front of her eyes, but he did not receive any response.
Seeing that Su Jinyi was ignoring her, she mumbled something and left again.
Only at night did she gradually regain her senses.
Seeing that it was already late and he did not have anything on him, he could only helplessly return to He Ruiting's house.
Su Jinyi stood at the door, hesitating, not knowing what to do. Her mental state had not been adjusted, and she did not want to meet He Ruiting.
After hesitating for a while, she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes before walking in. After walking a circle, she did not see He Ruiting and coincidentally saw Na y Lin walk out, so she walked over and asked: "Na y Lin, where did you see Ni Ting go?"
"I did not see mister coming back. Maybe he has something to do. Miss Su, do you want to find him? You can call him."
"En, I'm fine. I'm a bit tired, so I'll rest first." Su Jinyi was afraid that the Na y Lin would see through her more than that, so she immediately turned around and went back to her room to close the door. She lay on her bed and tossed and turned for a long time without being able to fall asleep.
Su Jinyi, who had not slept for the entire night, was unable to resist the obstacles in her heart. She suddenly sat up from the bed, and before the servants had woken up, she took out her luggage and stored all her clothes and other things inside.
When she was done, she straightened up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
She put on her jacket and looked at the furnishings in the bedroom deeply. Then, she carried her luggage and walked out, only to accidentally see Na y Lin, who had just came out of her room.
Su Jinyi immediately hid herself, seeing that she was entering the washroom, and would not be able to come out for a while, she carefully went downstairs. Seeing that she did not hear anything, she directly opened the door and walked out.
