Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Mr. Huo: Madam’s face is very pinchable

When Qin Ruan heard the time mentioned by Huo Yunjiao, her face maintained a calm composure.

Since she accepted Xia Yunchen’s order and walked into his house to understand the situation, she had expected that it would take a long time, and even possibly last until dawn.

There were still over two hours until dawn.

Sorting out Xia Yunchen’s affair so quickly took less time than she anticipated.

Huo Yunjiao squinted his deep eyes, his hand on the other side unconsciously rubbing back and forth.

Why did he feel that this girl was not only oblivious to anything wrong but was even a bit pleased with herself?

It must be said, you Huo, you are quite perceptive.

Qin Ruan indeed felt good about herself.

The master-servant relationship between the Hook Snake and Xia Yunchen was outside her expectations.

What she believed was a difficult task that would take a long time turned out to have internal complications that were unexpected.

As for the twenty million given by Xu Enhao, she accepted it without any guilt.

Undeniably, the Hook Snake initially harbored killer intent toward her.

The panic she felt throughout the night and being picked on by Xia Yunchen all the time, that ten million can be considered compensation from Xia, the drama king, for both himself and his magical pet.

Huo Yunjiao saw that Qin Ruan’s tiredness faded and her spirit seemed to be wandering somewhere else. He reached out to pinch her cheek.

"What are you thinking about, you look so cunning?"

The girl didn’t hide anything from him, narrowing her eyes to reveal a sly fox-like smile that cut straight to the heart.

Qin Ruan rubbed her squeezed cheek and stared wide-eyed at Huo Yunjiao.

It seemed she was asking him, why are you pinching me?

The feel of her cheeks under his fingers was delicate, creating a peculiar sensation in his heart.

He couldn’t resist and stretched out his hand to pinch the uncovered side of Qin Ruan’s face again.

Indeed, it was smooth and the touch felt great.

Qin Ruan backed away from Huo Yunjiao’s embrace, escaping far away from him, and sat at the very edge of the car door.

Huo Yunjiao looked at her with a playful smile, faint teasing laughter in his eyes, a speckled joy twinkling within.

This childlike side of Qin Ruan was quite endearing to him.

She was just like a child.

Huo Yunjiao beckoned to Qin Ruan and chuckled, "Come here."

This action was like summoning a pet.

Qin Ruan chose to ignore him and turned her head to look out of the car.

The Capital City was magnificent and glittering at night.

Although the streets were not as congested as during the day, traffic remained unceasing.

The commercial street they just passed was still bustling with people coming and going.

The dazzling neon lights and bright lamplight were the city’s most beautiful landscape.

Seeing Qin Ruan ignoring him, her childish antics were also quite interesting to Huo Yunjiao.

His deep gaze lingered on Qin Ruan.

Her slender waist, that he had personally measured, her delicate legs leaned onto one side, striking a chord in his heart as he had once held it in his arm.

She was sitting in a well-mannered posture, yet in Huo Yunjiao’s eyes, it carried a hint of tantalizing allure.

Suddenly, Qin Ruan turned around and asked, "Where are we going?"

Looking outside the car, she only then realized that they had been driving for so long yet still remained in the East City.

"Home," Huo Yunjiao, a slight movement in his throat, responded seriously.

"Which home?"

The way she asked caused Huo Yunjiao to raise his brows, "Our home."

Qin Ruan blinked, and fell silent for a moment.

"I want to go back to the academy."

There was a lecture by a professor she really liked the next morning, he only lectured once a week, and she didn’t want to miss it.

Not knowing what she was thinking, Huo Yunjiao speculated she wanted to return to Shengshi Academy mostly for her classes.

He pursed his lips, saying, "It’s too late today and the school gate is closed. How about I have someone take you to school early tomorrow morning?"

"Okay."

After giving it some thought, Qin Ruan did not refuse.

With that done, she turned her head once again to look out of the car, as if she was attracted by the scenery outside the window.
