Chapter 256 Self-proclaimed Empress
Seeing Sun Ruoyi's red-rimmed eyes and her cat-like, furious expression, Ning Xiuyang was not angry at all; instead, he found it extremely amusing.
He pulled Sun Ruoyi into his arms, letting her struggle in his embrace.
"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
He leaned close to her ear and whispered with a chuckle, "So, when are you free to come over and be my cup again, okay?"
The warm breath on her earlobe made Sun Ruoyi's body go limp instantly, and she lost much of her strength to struggle.
"roll!"
Her pretty face flushed, but her words remained sharp, "Who wants to be your cup! Go find those women in your livestream who call you 'husband' and 'Boss Yang' so enthusiastically!"
Ning Xiuyang laughed and kissed her puffed-up cheek.
"They are them, and you are you."
He pinched Sun Ruoyi's cheek and said playfully, "They are the rice, and you are the vegetable. If you only eat rice and not vegetables, you will become malnourished."
"You...you bastard!"
Sun Ruoyi was so angry at his vulgar analogy that she couldn't speak, and could only punch him hard in the chest.
However, this punch was soft and weak, more like a coquettish gesture.
After a while, the anger in Sun Ruoyi's heart inexplicably dissipated by more than half.
She snorted, broke free from Ning Xiuyang's embrace, and straightened her disheveled clothes.
"I'll contact you about the cup in a couple of days."
She left those words behind, glared at Ning Xiuyang with annoyance, and then walked out of the bedroom without looking back.
"I'm leaving first. Don't tell anyone about what happened today!"
In the luxurious living room outside the bedroom, Shen Yourong and her daughter Shen Youyou had already fallen asleep in each other's arms on the soft sofa.
The sound of Sun Ruoyi opening the door instantly woke the two light sleepers.
"what……"
Shen Youyou rubbed her sleepy eyes and was stunned when she saw Sun Ruoyi standing at the door. Immediately, a sense of vigilance and hostility welled up in her heart.
Shen Yourong instantly sobered up. She stood up somewhat nervously, looking at the powerful woman who had just spent a wonderful night with her man, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Who is Sun Ruoyi? She's the most shrewd person of all.
She immediately noticed the awe and unease in the eyes of the mother and daughter, as well as the barely concealed hostility in the young girl's eyes.
She snorted inwardly, a sense of superiority as the "official wife" welling up within her.
Although she appointed herself as the "official wife".
She raised her smooth chin, and in a gesture of asserting dominance, said to the two of them, "What are you looking at? Go inside and keep your master company."
"I'm leaving."
After saying that, she added, her tone laced with warning: "Remember, anyone who dares to utter a single word about what happened tonight will face the consequences."
Without giving the mother and daughter any time to react, Sun Ruoyi, wearing ten-centimeter high heels, left the presidential suite with her head held high, like a victorious queen.
Outside the door, her two female bodyguards, Aqing and Azi, had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Sun Ruoyi emerge, the two female bodyguards displayed complex expressions, their eyes filled with inquiry, worry, and a hint of strangeness.
"Miss……"
Aqing stepped forward, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to begin.
"Let's go home."
Sun Ruoyi waved her hand and walked towards the elevator first.
Entering the elevator, the atmosphere became even more subtle in the enclosed space.
Ah Zi finally couldn't hold back any longer. Looking at her young mistress's flushed cheeks and the undisguised allure in her eyes and brows, she tentatively asked, "Miss, you... and him...?"
"Um."
Surprisingly, Sun Ruoyi did not deny it, but simply responded with a faint "yes".
"!"
Aqing and Azi exchanged a glance, both seeing a raging storm in each other's eyes.
Having followed Sun Ruoyi for so many years, they knew this young lady's personality better than anyone else.
She has high standards and maintains a clean reputation; not to mention men, even a male mosquito can't get close to her.
Tonight... I actually got taken down by that man named Ning Xiuyang?
Just for a cup, would you offer yourself up as the cup?
This is nothing like Miss's personality. Could it be that this guy named Ning Xiuyang knows some kind of magic and has bewitched Miss? Or is this guy a humanoid succubus?
"Miss, is that person... reliable?"
Ah Qing asked worriedly, "We haven't found anything amazing about his background. Aren't you being too hasty?"
"Hasty?"
Sun Ruoyi laughed, her laughter carrying a hint of self-mockery and an unprecedented sense of joy.
"My life, from birth, every step has been meticulously planned. Which school to attend, what major to study, which company to join, when to get married... When has it ever been my turn to be 'careless'?"
She leaned against the elevator wall, her eyes somewhat unfocused.
"Furthermore, do you really think someone who commands such respect from Qin Yuhao and can casually toss around 20 million worth of antiques like toys would be the kind of ordinary person you found with 'no background'?"
Aqing and Azi fell silent instantly.
Yes, such magnanimity and extravagance cannot be explained by the term "nouveau riche".
"So... how is he?"
Ah Zi, ever the gossip, leaned closer, winking, "Kung Fu... is it good?"
"You brat, are you asking for it?!"
Sun Ruoyi blushed and pinched A Zi's waist, causing the other to beg for mercy.
The three of them, laughing and joking, arrived at the underground parking garage and got into a Bentley Mulsanne.
The car smoothly drove out of the hotel and merged into the city traffic.
Sun Ruoyi leaned back in the seat, watching the neon lights rushing past the window, her emotions still unsettled.
Just then, her private phone rang urgently.
When Sun Ruoyi saw the word "father" on the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
Why is my father calling so late?
She pressed the answer button, her tone returning to its usual composure, and greeted him proactively: "Hello, Dad."
A slightly tired but still authoritative voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Ruoyi, where are you now?"
He is Sun Yuting, chairman of Jianghai Shipbuilding.
"I'm outside. I just finished talking to someone and I'm about to go home. Dad, it's so late, is there anything I can help you with?" Sun Ruoyi asked.
Something's happened.
Sun Yuting's voice carried an unprecedented solemnity.
"Something big has happened at Hanhai Group."
"Hanhai Group?" Sun Ruoyi's heart tightened, and she frowned, asking urgently, "What happened?"
"I just received inside information from the capital market that just an hour ago, the shareholding structure of HanHai Group changed hands...it has changed ownership!"
Sun Ruoyi's pupils suddenly contracted!
"What?!"
She exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible! How could a company as large as Hanhai Group suddenly change hands? Which conglomerate acquired it?"
