Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: Huo Yuning, Granting Anuan Lifelong Tranquility

Upstairs.

Qin Ruan, barefoot, ran back to her bedroom, her back pressed against the door, wearing only a thin nightgown. Her chest heaved violently due to nervousness, and her heart raced rapidly.

When she woke up, the room was empty, the person who had lain on the bed for months was nowhere to be seen.

Recalling the scene before she had fainted from crying, she had rushed out the door without even putting on her shoes.

She hadn’t expected to overhear the conversation between Huo Yunjiao and Huo Yirong downstairs.

Everything that had happened in her dream was confirmed by Huo Yunjiao’s own words and was starkly different from the wild guesses she had imagined in her heart.

The impact made her feel overwhelmed, and more feelings of guilt and sadness surged within her.

The "century of solitude" punishment mentioned by Huo Yunjiao cast a gloom in her heart.

Qin Ruan’s hearing had become more sensitive than ever. The steady footsteps outside the door reached her ears, and she quickly ran to the bed, lifted the blankets, and slipped inside, her hand frantically wiping at the corner of her eye.

She had just laid down when someone pushed the bedroom door open from outside.

Qin Ruan’s eyes, reddish as if she had just woken up, contained a tender, smiling expression as she looked at the person walking in.

She sat up in bed, leaning against the headboard, her voice thick with congestion, "I opened my eyes and couldn’t find you. I was going to search for you. You haven’t been awake for long; how does your body feel? Any discomfort?"

Huo Yunjiao sat on the bed beside her, his fair fingertips lightly touching Qin Ruan’s reddened eye corners and then bowing his head to plant a tentative kiss on her cheek.

His voice was deep and pleasant, slightly hoarse, "My father and the others know I’m awake. I was just downstairs talking to them. I’m feeling alright, but you, you’ve just given birth to Anuan not long ago and are not looking after yourself."

His affectionate gaze was so tender it could melt hearts.

Qin Ruan had personally heard him speak of punishment for her earlier, and now she questioned whether the affection in his eyes truly reached his heart.

She rubbed her cheek against the palm of Huo Yunjiao, her voice sweetly playful, "It’s because you frightened me—but I’m glad you’re awake. From now on, our family of five will never be apart again. You missed Anuan’s birth. She’s waiting for you to name her."

Huo Yunjiao’s lips curved up, his face breaking into a gentle smile, "Yuning. Anuan’s formal name will be Yuning."

"Yuning... Huo Yuning," Qin Ruan murmured, looking up at the man in front of her, "It’s a nice name. Does it have any special meaning?"

Huo Yunjiao caressed her face, his smile deepening as he explained softly, "It’s to grant Anuan a lifetime of peace, to spare her from some hardship in the future."

The moment Qin Ruan heard this, her expression shifted slightly, her voice urgent, "Does that mean Anuan’s fate is troubled, and she will face much hardship?"

She clung to the edge of his sleeve, her face showing visible nervousness.

Huo Yunjiao’s dark eyes fixed on Qin Ruan, he chuckled, "Ruanruan, you’re overthinking it. Shouldn’t you understand fate better than I do?"

"Besides, Anuan is our child. Even if she faces difficulties later in life, could we, as her parents, bear to see her suffer?"

In this world, aside from the Emperor of Fengdu, who else truly understood a person’s fate?

Qin Ruan, aware that he wasn’t revealing his identity, took a deep breath, forcing a smile, "That’s true. Anuan is so well-behaved and adorable; she’s sure to live a stable and healthy life."

Yet her heart silently objected, Anuan, the beloved daughter of the Emperor of Fengdu, her daughter, the Tu Mountain Nine-tailed Fox princess, was the most precious Little Princess in this world.

Who would dare to provoke her, and if anyone foolishly did, the hundreds of thousands of Yin Soldiers in Feidu City, led by the ancient Divine Beasts of the Tu Mountain Nine-tailed Fox clan, would never agree.

Suddenly, Huo Yunjiao spoke, "I heard Xia Yunchen still hasn’t woken up? His fainting was ultimately because of our wedding. Should we find some time to visit him?"

At the mention of Xia Yunchen, Qin Ruan’s expression turned uneasy.

She had already learned that he was her elder brother, the king of the Tu Mountain Nine-tailed Fox clan, and even the Divine Monarch who ruled over the ancient Divine Beasts.

Every time she realized this truth, her emotions became extremely complex.

Driven by a desperate need to save her brother, she had dug out the heart of the Emperor of Fengdu.

Now, the beating heart inside Xia Yunchen’s body was the very one she had personally extracted from the chest of her beloved.

Huo Yunjiao appeared oblivious to the turmoil on Qin Ruan’s face, his voice as gentle as ever, "I heard you visited him a few times before, so this time let’s go together to show more sincerity. How about tomorrow?"

His voice was light and resolute, carrying an undertone that brooked no refusal.

Qin Ruan obediently nodded, "That’s fine. But you’ve just woken up, can your body handle it?"

She was still worried about his body, which hadn’t moved in months.

Huo Yunjiao chuckled softly, his laugh deep and pleasing. He leaned close to Qin Ruan’s ear, blowing his words into her ear, "If you’re really that worried about me, why don’t we try something tonight?"

A tingling sensation instantly spread throughout Qin Ruan’s body.

Was she being seduced by her husband?

He had just woken up not long ago; what was with the overwhelming scent of hormones?

Qin Ruan leaned back to avoid him, her face flushing with embarrassment, "Stop teasing, what about the children? I passed out before, are they alright?"

Huo Yunjiao stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, "They are next door. Come on, let’s go tell Anuan she has a name now."

He set Qin Ruan down by the bed and personally bent down to put on her shoes.

Just as Qin Ruan was about to set her feet on the ground, she was swept up into strong arms.

Huo Yunjiao, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, opened his lips slightly, his voice slow and low, "I can hold you without any effort right now, and even doing some aerobic exercise for an hour or two wouldn’t be a problem. Don’t you want to try, Ruanruan?"

His brows were clear, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with the promise of spring, his gaze holding a trace of sincerity.

Qin Ruan was stunned; she clearly understood this embrace was not just any embrace.

What aerobic exercise? It was clearly at the cost of her wasted back.

She lowered her head, unable to directly face those teasing eyes, and urged, "Stop fooling around, let’s go see the kids!"

Qin Ruan felt that the man who had woken up was completely different, exuding a charm from the inside out.

The comforting restraint and gentleness that had once been part of him were gone, replaced by an indescribable provocative aura.

At the drop of a hat, he would release this potent scent of hormones, tempting and enticing.

Simply put, it was provocative and saucy!

Gone were his former subtlety and restraint. The dangerous aura hitting Qin Ruan made her lower back subtly ache.

Huo Yunjiao’s thin lips curled into a light smile, his affectionate peach blossom eyes half-closed, giving him a look of extreme indolence and luxury.

Seeing Qin Ruan in his arms, looking down with her slightly red face peeking through, his laughter was filled with delight.

Huo Yunjiao carried Qin Ruan out of the bedroom to see Huo Chuan and Huo Zhi standing outside the door.

Huo Chuan and Huo Zhi, seeing the couple emerge from the bedroom, bowed respectfully.

They spoke reverently, "Master, Madam—"
