Chapter 167: Chapter 167 The Third Master: Granting Her and the Child A Peaceful Life for the Rest of Their Days

Huo Yunjiao could discern his grandfather’s probing, keen on understanding his feelings for Qin Ruan.

His grandfather took his love life more seriously compared to his older cousins.

If it were not for his physical condition, his grandfather would have already hosted various banquets under pretenses to invite noble ladies of the aristocratic families, with the aim of choosing a woman to be by his side.

The smile on Huo Yunjiao’s face was harmless to both man and beast, while the deep enigmatic gleam in his eyes made it impossible to guess his thoughts.

Speaking in a calm tone, he said, "Ruanruan is still young."

"Even if you don’t like her, you still protect her?" The old master refused to give up.

"Grandfather, what kind of man do you take me for? She’s so young, still a child."

Huo Yunjiao’s lips slightly parted, the words he uttered clearly indicating his stance.

"She’s already an adult, and even carries your child in her womb!" the old master frowned. "If you don’t like her, why go to the trouble of obtaining the marriage license? Can’t the Huo family afford to raise a child?"

He always thought that Huo Yunjiao’s rapid marriage licence with Qin Ruan was because they both had mutual affections, even if they hadn’t expressed their feelings to each other openly.

Though this grandson appeared gentle, his underlying indifference and ruthlessness surpassed anyone else in the Huo family.

If he did not want to do something, no one could force him to.

There would be no need to marry Qin Ruan if he did not love her.

His only wish was for Huo Yunjiao to have a smooth and good life, with a good person by his side, leaving no regrets.

It was a little upsetting for old master Huo if Qin Ruan wasn’t that person, yet had taken a position by his grandson’s side.

His Jiaojiao was highly capable, born standing at the pinnacle of power.

Regrettably, life’s unpredictable events deprived him of longevity.

The unknown decade-long lifespan was nothing but a fleeting moment for his grandson.

Huo Hongxing, having a fair understanding of his son, asked coldly, "Are you feeling sorry for her?"

Qin Ruan, a girl, had indeed lived an experience in West City that elicited pity from others.

Even he sighed deeply at the bottom of his heart after looking at those records.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yunjiao was taken aback at first, then burst into incredulous laughter saying, "How could that be?"

He leaned against the sofa, appearing laconic and unhurried. "The girl tangled up with me through a series of accidents and is now pregnant. I’ve yet to fully investigate the situation with the Su family. If they discovered Qin Ruan’s current state, they would inevitably harm her. Having the protection of the Huo family would be the safest for her."

"Just because of this?" Both old master Huo and Huo’s father clearly didn’t believe him.

Huo Yunjiao’s slender finger tapped lightly on the edge of the sofa, rhythmically, making no sound at all.

He looked down, speaking indifferently, "Raising a child is easy for the Huo family, but I won’t let anyone label my child, Huo Yunjiao’s child, as illegitimate."

Upon learning of Qin Ruan’s pregnancy, Huo Yunjiao had thought far into the future.

With less than a decade to live, he contemplated what he could do for Qin Ruan and their unborn child.

The Qin family’s status in Capital City is somewhat awkward—too limited to climb further up, yet also unlikely to plummet in the short term.

But this isn’t enough. The child in Qin Ruan’s womb is his, Huo Yunjiao’s. Born of prestigious blood, the child is destined to be successful and highly esteemed right from birth.

Capital City is filled with powerful individuals. Who could protect them, mother and child, from humiliation when she gives birth in the future?

Huo Yunjiao had also thought about the various situations Qin Ruan would face being an unmarried mother.

Raising a child as an unmarried woman had become common, but he wouldn’t allow anyone point fingers at them or make them bear any grievances.

After weighing up the pros and cons, it’s better for him to assure Qin Ruan and their child a secure future himself.

They would be protected by the Huo family forever. Even after he is gone, Qin Ruan and their child would not be subject to anyone’s bullying.
