Chapter 129: Chapter 129: This Sweet ’Third Brother’ Touches Third Master’s Heart

There was a nine-year age gap between the two of them, so it wouldn’t be inappropriate for Qin Ruan to call him ’Uncle’.

Uncle or brother, the latter was easier for him to accept.

Third brother?

Qin Ruan’s lips twitched slightly; she had to admit that this term stirred some embarrassment in her.

She lowered her head to cover the unnatural expression on her face, opening her phone to check the time.

It was already three in the afternoon.

An urgency lingered in Qin Ruan’s eyes. If things got delayed further, she was worried she might lose today’s deal with the actor.

When she lifted her gaze again, her emotions swiftly receded, revealing an obedient girl’s face.

Her red lips parted, her voice clear and bright, "Third Brother!"

The way she called him Third Brother was so sweet, it touched Huo Yunjiao’s heart.

The Huo Family didn’t have many girls. Having such a young lady calling you ’brother’ gave a unique, fascinating feeling.

A smiled deepened in Huo Yunjiao’s eyes, the sparkle within resembling twinkling stars, setting off his handsome face with radiant mirth.

He petted Qin Ruan’s head and spoke softly, "Good girl."

This child was so innocent and bewildered, it stirred a tender protectiveness in him.

The older man directed his gaze towards Huo Zhi, who stood behind Qin Ruan, "Drive Madam to see her friend and be careful on the road."

"Understood, Third Master," Huo Zhi responded with a slight bow.

Qin Ruan beamed, her eyes lighting up as she waved at the man before her.

"I’ll be seeing you, Third Brother."

Having said that, she made to leave.

"Wait a moment—"

Huo Yunjiao reached out, gripping her wrist.

Before she could turn to face him, he pulled her from behind into his embrace.

Qin Ruan was tightly ensnared in his arms, a faint scent of cedarwood flooding her senses, silent and tranquil.

The other party’s broad, stable palms patted her back gently, his gentle warning echoed in her ear, "Take care of yourself. Call me if there’s any trouble. Your father and elder brother are not in the country, try to avoid going to the Qin Family’s house if possible. You can always come to me if you need anything."

Being physical intimately close, Qin Ruan could feel the warm breath from Huo Yunjiao’s lips fluttering over her ears whenever he spoke.

This feeling was tingling and numbing, and her ears were beginning to feel hot.

Qin Ruan felt a bit uncomfortable and attempted to wriggle free.

Huo Yunjiao let go of her the very next moment and took two steps back.

"Go on then." His voice was husky, alluring and enticing.

Qin Ruan’s cheeks were flushed, but she didn’t turn to look back at him as she floated away with light steps.

Huo Yunjiao watched as she got into the car, and Huo Zhi drove slowly out of the hospital before he finally averted his dark, unreadable gaze.

Behind him, Huo Chuan stepped forward, "Third Master, where are we heading next?"

The Third Master reinstated his regal demeanor, his voice clear and cold, "HEA Group."

With just Huo Zhi accompanying the young miss, he couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy.

...

As soon as Qin Ruan got into the car, Huo Zhi respectfully asked, "Where are we heading, Wife of the Third Master?"

"Pull over and wait for a moment, let me check something."

Huo Zhi obeyed and parked the car by the side.

Qin Ruan took out her phone and checked the WeChat group [Emperor Beitai on the Go].

Qiao Jiu and Lun Wenbin had tagged her several times in the group chat.

Earlier at the hospital, she kept her phone on silent to avoid disrupting her check-up, so she hadn’t noticed their messages.
