Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213: Qin Ruan Gets Provoked, Third Master Dominantly Protects His Wife

Huo Yunjiao, oblivious to his surroundings, carried the person in his arms to the room next door, his handsome and reserved face bearing an expression of calm and composure.

Seeing Huo Chuan and Huo Zhi closely following behind, Qin Ruan’s already flushed face turned even redder, as if layered with attractive rouge.

Arriving at the children’s room door, Huo Yunjiao put the person fidgeting in his arms down on the ground.

Qin Ruan, not yet steady on her feet, reached out to push the room door open, and the clear sound of conversation inside filtered out.

Huo Yao lay in front of the baby crib, looking at Anuan’s sleeping face and asked with confusion, "Why can’t Anuan talk? We could talk as soon as we were born."

Huo Anqi said, "Sister is delicate."

"Really?"

Huo Yao’s tone sounded somewhat incredulous.

Huo Anqi, with a solemn little face, pointed at Anuan in the crib and stated, "She sleeps all day, not only delicate but also lazy."

The brother spoke about his sister as both lazy and delicate with utter seriousness, a tone so sure that one could not help but chuckle.

The key was that Huo Yao, the elder brother, actually believed it.

"So that’s how it is, but since she’s the sister, it’s fine to be delicate and a little lazy."

After saying this, Huo Yao poked Anuan’s soft and tender little cheeks with his small hand.

Standing outside the door, Huo Yunjiao and Qin Ruan exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of laughter and helplessness.

The two pushed the door open and walked into the room.

"Cough cough..."

Huo Yunjiao cleared his throat softly as a signal of their arrival.

"Father—"

"Mother—"

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi turned their heads and called out in unison.

The two children scurried over with their short legs.

Huo Yunjiao stepped forward to intercept and embraced his two sons.

Holding his children, he approached his daughter’s crib and said in a low voice, "Your sister has a name now. Her nickname, given by Mom, is Anuan, and her formal name is Huo Yuning.

She is the Huo family’s Little Princess, a noble and precious child, born to be cherished and nurtured. As her brothers, you have a duty to protect her and not disdain her, understand?"

Huo Yao clenched his little fists and promised with his childish voice, "I won’t let anyone bully sister. If anyone dares to bully her, I’ll make sure they regret it!"

Huo Anqi, face stern, looked up at his father, who seemed godlike, and said earnestly, "Sister is very good. She doesn’t cry or fuss; I’ll watch over her."

Qin Ruan moved next to the father and sons, looking down at her daughter in the crib and asked the nursemaid and maid standing by, "How’s Anuan’s appetite?"

The young nursemaid, dressed in clean, neat clothing and without any makeup, exuding a very comfortable air, stepped forward.

She replied in a deliberately soft voice, "The young miss is fed less than a hundred milliliters of milk every four hours. She’s very good and goes to sleep after eating."

Qin Ruan glanced at the nursemaid, noting her natural beauty without makeup, her eyes darkening slightly.

She curved her red lips into a beautiful arc, her pleasant voice carrying an air of detachment, "Since Anuan doesn’t cry or make a fuss, your work should be a bit easier."

It was just then that the nursemaid, with her enchanting eyes, looked at Huo Yunjiao who was holding his two sons and showing a warm smile on his handsome face.

Hearing Qin Ruan’s words, she licked her lips nervously and quickly said, "Taking care of the young miss is our job; we dare not be negligent for a moment."

Qin Ruan, having observed her actions, bent down to pull the blanket up over Anuan, her tone as flat and unperturbed as ever, "Tonight Anuan will sleep with me, you needn’t stay, and take a day off."

The wet nurse blinked upon hearing this and spoke with a slightly urgent voice, "Madam, the young miss has always been under our care. If she cries at night, I’m afraid it will disturb you and the Third Master’s rest. Let us take care of the young miss instead."

She was counting on nurturing a bond with the child while she was still young, so that one day she too could have an unshakeable position in the Huo Family.

The wet nurse of the Huo Family’s Little Princess could become the person closest to her, second only to her parents.

Seeing the now awake Huo Chuan, the wet nurse’s thoughts also became active.

If she could develop a special relationship with those in power, her status might rival that of Huo Family’s main wife.

With such an opportunity to rise to the heavens in one step, how could she possibly wish to return Anuan to her mother Qin Ruan?

Qin Ruan noticed the slight urgency in the wet nurse’s tone and saw the greed in her face and the calculation in her eyes. She found it laughable, and at the same time, a killing intent emerged from her without any attempt to conceal it.

The wet nurse’s intentions were clear to Qin Ruan without much thought.

Using her daughter as a stepping stone, and even wanting to take Anuan for herself, was a challenge to her bottom line as a mother.

Qin Ruan’s eyes slightly lifted, her gaze on the other party casual, and the smile on her lips deepened a bit—but sadly, the smile did not reach her eyes.

She narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice, "What, do I need your permission to sleep with my own daughter?"

The wet nurse realized that her previous words had been too hasty and quickly responded obediently, "Madam, I meant that the young miss has been with me for a while now. Taking her away suddenly might cause her distress, and she might cry and disturb your rest."

The Huo Family’s servants around them already had a noticeable change in their expressions.

Their cold gazes pierced the wet nurse like a thousand needles.

Having interacted with her for some time, they had thought the wet nurse knew her place. They didn’t expect her to be so lacking in self-awareness and to harbor such deceitful thoughts.

Qin Ruan’s gaze at the wet nurse was full of meaningful contempt and mockery, clear for all to see.

Under her sharp scrutiny, the wet nurse felt like a foolish clown; her innermost thoughts laid bare as if she had nowhere to hide.

She slowly bowed her head, nervously swallowing.

Qin Ruan let out a cold laugh, withdrew her gaze, and disregarding the wet nurse standing beside her, she bent over to gently stroke Anuan’s tender cheeks lying in the crib.

This dismissive attitude was the greatest insult and injury to a person.

Huo Yunjiao, holding the child, watched this scene with cold eyes. His deep gaze remained as calm as still water, but beneath lay an unthawing frost.

After waiting a while and seeing that Qin Ruan was not preparing to take any other action, Huo Yunjiao frowned and called out with displeasure, "Huo Zhi!"

Standing at the door, Huo Zhi entered, "Master—"

Huo Yunjiao nodded toward where the wet nurse stood and lifted his chin slightly, "Take care of it, and don’t disturb the child’s sleep."

Huo Zhi replied, "Yes—"

The wet nurse, seeing Huo Chuan look at her, blushed unnaturally, but his words left her bewildered.

The woman was still unaware of what was about to happen.

After receiving the order, Huo Zhi quickly stepped behind the wet nurse and covered her mouth and nose with his hand, rudely dragging her outside.

The wet nurse finally understood—she had angered Huo Yunjiao and Madam Huo.

Overwhelmed by a boundless panic and unease, she struggled with all her might, reaching to pull away Huo Zhi’s hand that covered her mouth, trying to scream for help.

Huo Zhi was adept at handling such matters; there was no chance he would let her escape.
