CEO is Picky but Handsome - Chapter 19

The hour hand points to eleven-three in the evening, and after the reception, Huo Jun didn’t go home and directly stayed in the hotel’s high-rise private room.
He took the elevator alone to the 21st floor exclusive suite. The entire 21st floor is quiet, and when the elevator door opens, only a row of sensor lights are lit up in response to the sound. Huo Jun steps out of the elevator, follows the light of the sensor lights to his door, takes out his room card and swipes it, and the door opens.
There is light in the room.
Huo Jun was immediately alert.
“Who?” He asked in a short, low voice.
By the window, a thin and frail figure stands by the window, and when she hears his question, she curls around.
It was Mu Suixi.
Huo Jun’s clenched fists relax.
He walks into the room, tossing the room card on the table while asking nonchalantly, “Why are you here?”
The air is filled with the faint aroma of champagne, Mu Suixi is holding a glass in her right hand, and a bottle of champagne with only a third of the bottle left on the low table to her left. She’s already slightly drunk, looking at Huo Zhun with a lingering gaze that goes to her bones, no longer the deliberately three-quarter detached affectation she had in front of people.
“I’ve waited for you all night, Huo Jun,” Mu Suixi looks at him, grinding the same words through her teeth and reciting them again, “I’ve waited for you all night.”
At the end of the dance, Mu Suisi hurriedly leaves without even returning to Huo Jun’s side. She’s a girl in the end, safety is important, Huo Zhun sent people to look for her, but they couldn’t find her until the end of the reception. Who would have thought that she would come here.
Listening to her in such a soft and weak manner, as if she were the heroine of a bitter love drama who had been betrayed, Huo Zhun only felt that she was mushy and pretentious.
He should have realized that this woman is soft on the outside but has a heart of seven inside, so why worry about her?
“I mean,” Huo Jun blushes poorly, “why were you able to enter my room?”
“I told the manager that you told me to wait for you here, and he believed me, so he opened the door for me.” Mu Suixi changed into a water blue cheongsam, the room’s lighting was extremely dark, she stood by the window, silver moonlight sprinkled all over her body, indescribably churlish, “Didn’t I enter your room like this before? You also praised me for being smart, why now, on the contrary, unhappy?”
That is when they first met, Huo Zhun’s birthday, Mu Suixi sent him a surprise, hid from him put a giant cake in his room, is to use this method into his door.
However, at that time, Mu Suixi was bright and cheerful, and was still a simple and cute girl, who would have thought that she would turn into what she is now.
Thinking of the past makes him feel extra harsh in front of his eyes, Huo Jun says without pretense, “Suessi, you’re drunk, you should go back to your room and rest.”
“I’m not drunk, Huo Jun, you know I’m not drunk.” Mu Suisi places her wine glass on the table, her body swaying slightly, then, sarcastically, she laughs out, “Huo Zhun, we haven’t seen each other for ten months and twenty-seven days, can’t you let me stay here for a little while, just a little while?”
“Then you stay here, I’ll go.” Huo Zhun is indifferent, turning around and leaving.
“No, Huo Zhun, don’t go ……,” Mu Suixi panicked, subconsciously going to chase after him. However, her balance is poor after being slightly drunk, and her feet are on ten centimeter heels, so in her haste, her ankle twists, and she falls down on the short table.
The wine glass fell to the ground, making a crunching sound.
Huo Jun’s footsteps stopped.
It’s only a momentary softening of his heart, he turns back and looks at Mu Suixi, “Are you alright.”
Mu Suixi’s hair bun fell apart, her long waterfall-like hair snaking from her neck to her chest. She holds onto the short table and stands up in a sorry state, looking at Huo Zhun and smiling ruefully, “I’m fine, sorry for losing my temper.”
She reaches out to pick up the pieces on the floor, yet the lighting is dim, how can she see clearly. Huo Zhun takes a few steps to walk in front of her, grabbing her hand to help her up, yanking a chair aside for her to sit.
“I’ll stay here with you for a while, just five minutes. Then Suixi, you go back to your room, and this will not happen again.” He said.
Mu Suessi tilted her head sideways, her long hair hiding her expression, and a smile appeared fleetingly on that face that was originally full of sadness.
She then lifted her long hair and tied it in a simple bun at the back of her head, then pointed to the chair in front of her, “Then you sit as well.”
Huo Jun didn’t sit.
He clasped his hands and leaned against the windowsill, as if there was no need to take a seat for this five minute conversation.
Mu Suixi knew she couldn’t ask for more. She lowered her head and asked in as calm a voice as possible, “Huo Jun, we haven’t seen each other for ten months and twenty-seven days, I looked for you, why didn’t you see me?”
“Suixi, we made it very clear in the beginning that the relationship is over and we’ll be ordinary friends.” Harassment over and over again, Huo Jun had long been annoyed, he was determined to settle things once and for all, so he unapologetically said bluntly, “Before you treat me as an ordinary friend, I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to have too much contact.”
“Why?” Mu Suixi seemed as if he didn’t even understand what he was saying, “Why can’t we even see each other? What did I do to make you angry? You tell me, I can change.”
“No, it has nothing to do with being angry or not. We made it very clear in the beginning, I need a relatively stable relationship, you want me to boost your career, we each get what we want, no feelings involved. Once someone crosses the line, the relationship ends immediately.” Huo Zhun looks at Mu Suessi, “In fact, I think that instead of dwelling on these silly issues over and over again, we should talk about something more practical. Suisi, isn’t the money I gave you enough? If you still need it, just ask.”
Mu Suessi opened his lips slightly and looked at him helplessly.
“Or …… I can give you an investment,” Huo Zhun changed his stance, “Haven’t you always wanted to set up your own company?”
The words landed, and Mu Suixi completely froze.
Although Huo Jun’s words were calm, he was determined and ruthless. Mu Suixi, who has traveled between men, understands that when a man talks about money with you, there is no emotion to talk about between you.
But how can they have no feelings to talk about?
She is young and beautiful, he is handsome and gold, they are together, is anyone to see the envy of the golden couple. How good they were then, traveling together, in the open-air hot springs to see the snow falling, in a foreign country on the street embrace, even if the gossip magazines photographed, she is no longer afraid, but late at night, there is a phone call from him to comfort sleep.
At that time she was the object of envy of the sisterhood, because there is Huo quasi-exclusive girlfriend halo plus body, wherever you go is the center of attention of the crowd. People talked about her behind her back with longing or jealous voices, and even her colleagues at the company joked and asked her when she was going to get married into a rich family. This man’s care brought her a leap in her career and made her feel loved for the first time in her life.More than once, she fantasized in Huo Jun’s arms about how happy their future life would be.
In just one night, it was all gone.
Huo Jun no longer sees her, and although the gifts are delivered as usual and even more grandly than before, he no longer brings her to any of the receptions. He never mentioned her by name, he cruised among actresses and celebrities like before, and he refused to even see her, whether she begged or threatened.
Mu Suixi was out of favor.
The change between them was detected by someone with an interest in the matter, and the news rode the wind and spread quickly. Those who had originally greeted her all disappeared overnight, and although people still gave her face and called her a goddess, behind her back they were all waiting to see her laugh. She was no longer the center of attention, and even the advertisement endorsements she had originally negotiated were put on hold. She knows her career is in crisis, along with her love.
Only Huo Jun can save her.
She’s about to lose everything, so there’s no other way but to hold on to Huo Jun.
Mu Suixi fixed her mind, and bunches of tears rushed down her eyes, successfully concealing the momentary loss of composure. She chokes on her sobs and begs the man in front of her, “I don’t want money, Huo Zhun, I beg you, don’t insult the relationship between you and I with money. You want our relationship to be simpler, I agree. Let’s go back to the past, okay? I don’t dare to ask you to treat me like I treat you anymore, I only ask that we can go back to the past and let me stay by your side like I did in the past, okay?”
She cried with pear blossoms and rain, I felt sorry for her. Anyone who saw this pitiful look would have their heart broken, but Huo Jun was indifferent.
He watched coldly from the beginning, as if he had already seen through Mu Suisi’s lame performance and found it tedious.
“Suisi, I originally thought that you were a very smart girl, so let’s get it straight and we can get along.” Huo Zhun loosened his tie and laughed very helplessly, “But why did you choose to bring things to such an unmanageable situation?”
“Suixi, you rode roughshod over the circle based on our relationship, even blackmailing investors into investing in your movie, causing them to complain. When the investors came to me, I took it as a sign of your youthful impatience and vanity, and arranged a banquet for you to take care of them one by one. You want to marry into the Huo family, become my wife, every time in front of the media to put words, and even secretly arrange the media to secretly shoot, I also understand that you love to inevitably some out of the ordinary behavior, so I have never bothered with you. But Suixi, you should never, never, never have hit Huo Ming with your idea.” Huo Zhun paused, his tone suddenly cold, “I said that Huo Ming is my bottom line.”
Mu Suixi’s teary eyes were misty as she stared at him in a daze.
At that time, Huo Jun had broken up with her and had stated that the reasons were two more in addition to Mu Suixi’s feelings for him – bullying and getting ahead of herself.
However, Mu Suixi is not the first day of bullying, nor is it the first time that she has overstepped her bounds. Previously, Huo Jun just laughed it off, how come he recognized it this time?
Therefore, Mu Suisi is certain that there must be some misunderstanding between the two. As long as the misunderstanding is explained, they will be able to get back together.
This idea supported her to dial Huo Zhun’s phone again and again, and even today, despite becoming the laughing stock of everyone, she also wants to personally walk in front of Huo Zhun to ask for an understanding.
So, was the real reason actually this?
“So what?” She asks.
At that time, Huo Zhun’s doting on Mu Suixi was already known within the circle, and in Mu Suixi’s mind, it was only a matter of time before she married into a wealthy family a few times. And the only reason Huo Zhun was hesitant to let go of marrying her was that legendary little friend Huo Xiaoming.
So she picked a sunny afternoon, secretly picked up Huo Xiaoming from school, still in elementary school, took him to the playground to play a good afternoon, while buying a cone for him to eat, while revealing to him his relationship with Huo Jun, and aptly stated that he would be a competent stepmother, if Huo Xiaoming students do not obstruct her marriage with Huo Jun, then the future is not only a cone, even hamburger and fries, etc.Juneven. Huo Zhun is usually not allowed to eat junk food at all are greatly available.
In her opinion, her soft and hard tactics are enough to deal with that slightly timid pretty boy.
Unfortunately, for the good at disguise imp Huo Xiaoming student, who had seen countless human beings since he was a child, Mu Suixi’s segment was still too low.
“Huo Ming is my bottom line. Suessi, no matter how out of the ordinary you do, I can cover for you, but you coming in front of Huo Ming and spouting nonsense, that won’t do.” Huo Jun said, “I originally didn’t want to make it so clear, after all, I don’t want to involve a child in matters between adults. But with you being so insistent, I have to make it clear to you. Suzy, we can never go back to the past. If you don’t think it’s fair, you can make an offer, no matter how much it is, I’ll write you a check instantly. I hope this is the last time we meet alone, in the future, if I catch you making small moves again, especially about Huo Ming, then I won’t be as nice as this time.”
With those words, he lifted his wrist and looked at the time.
Five minutes were up.
But Mu Suixi was crying like this, and was not going to be able to walk out no matter what.
“Forget it,” Huo Zhun shrugged and said helplessly, “You stay right here tonight, I’ll go out.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.
“Why? Why are you doing this to me?”Behind him, Mu Suixi disheveledly commiserated in the chair, “Huo Zhun, I love you ah, everything I do is because I’m in love with you ah ……”
Such a love, it’s better to not have it.
A door slammed, and Huo Jun’s figure disappeared behind the door.
Huo Zhun’s mind was in turmoil, and he wanted to find a hotel to open another room, but when he left the door, he suddenly forgot his purpose.
By the time he reacted, he was already standing in front of Ye Ling’s door.
The reception ended too late, so Ye Ling didn’t go home. For convenience, his room was at the other end of the corridor. Huo Zhun doesn’t know what he’s coming over for, and subconsciously raises his hand to knock on the door, but after a few moments of thought, that bent finger can’t knock.
This late, he should be sleeping ……
Forget it, Huo Jun shook his head and decided not to disturb people’s dreams in the middle of the night. But just as he turned around, a sweet to the extreme murmur suddenly came from inside the door.
“Ah~Don’t~”
Brakes the leg that was about to hit the ground hard.
Huo Zhun’s neck is like clockwork, inch by inch, inch by inch, turning towards the door of the room.
The woman …… woman?
