Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Smelling His Scent

Now knowing that Huo Yunjiao’s health was compromised, and while his life wasn’t in imminent danger, he was certainly at risk.

Qin Ruan had no time to consider anything else.

In her past life, Huo Yunjiao graced her and their child with so many heart-warming acts after her passing, acts that acknowledge their fleeting romance.

She believed that he was still a reliable man.

She would have their child, and she wouldn’t let anyone take the child’s father away from her.

Huo Yunjiao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Good, I’ll send someone to escort you back to school and elaborate on collecting you to bring you to Huo Mansion."

"Yes."

Qin Ruan readily agreed.

Huo Yunjiao turned his head and instructed, "Huo Chuan, you should personally escort Miss Qin."

"Yes, Third Master ——"

...

Sitting in the car returning to school, Qin Ruan’s posture remained unchanged from the moment she got in the car, like a wooden doll, sitting quietly in the back seat.

Huo Chuan was not a talkative person, thus the journey was enveloped in an eerie silence.

Not until they arrived in front of Shengshi Academy, Qin Ruan intended to alight as soon as the car came to a stop and walk in.

However, Huo Chuan showed no intention of stopping the car, he only honked the horn as they pulled up at the entrance.

At this time, the main entrance of the school was already tightly closed, leaving only a side door about one meter wide opened.

The security guards, sitting inside the guardhouse, visibly panicked upon seeing the car arriving at the gate.

He quickly and nervously pressed the button to open the gate.

Shengshi Academy, the most prestigious higher education institution in the Capital City, has a history of more than a century.

The school was founded single-handedly by the Huo Family during the most challenging times, for those scholars who were desperate for knowledge in such a demanding era.

In a bid to foster innovation and academic rigor, the school had introduced and adopted successful elements of Western education, and thus the Shengshi Academy of today was born after centuries of relentless pursuit.

All staff working at the school have undergone special training, with the most important lesson being the skill to read and judge situations.

As soon as they see a member of the Huo Family, they are to prioritize their needs above all else under any circumstances.

The black sedan Huo Chuan drove that day was quite low-profile, yet the car’s body was engraved with a clear symbol that was unique to the Huo Family.

The security guard instantly recognized this and subconsciously let them through.

Sitting in the car, Qin Ruan blinked, her facial expression somewhat bemused.

She had been studying there for six months but had no idea about the relationship between the Huo Family and Shengshi Academy.

However, seeing the privilege Huo Chuan had that allowed the guard to immediately let them pass, it was clear that the relationship between the Huo Family and the school was deeply rooted.

With familiarity formed through frequent visits, Huo Chuan drove straight to the dormitory building where Qin Ruan was currently staying.

Because of Ling Xiaoxuan’s request not long ago, Qin Ruan had changed dormitories.

Huo Chuan didn’t even need to ask and directly drove over, which showed that the Huo Family had thoroughly investigated her background.

Qin Ruan took all of this in without saying a word.

After the car came to a stop, she maintained her calm demeanor and thanked Huo Chuan, "Thank you, I’ll go upstairs to get my things, I’ll be right back."

"Madam, you’re too courteous. This is my duty. Please take your time, I’ll be waiting right here."

As this woman could likely be the future Mistress of the family, Huo Chuan did not dare to accept her thanks.

Qin Ruan gave a slight nod, then exited the car.

The evening breeze blew in, and she readjusted the man’s coat draped over her.

The gust of wind carried in a stronger scent of sandalwood.

As Qin Ruan inhaled the slightly overpowering scent of sandalwood, she felt her uneasiness subside slightly.

She quickened her pace back to the dormitory, her heart raced with nerves as she thought about the things she had to do next. The sound of her beating heart was incredibly clear in the unsettling quiet of the
