Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Trust in him, has long been ingrained in the marrow

Sanye gently stroked Qin Ruan’s head, his touch gentle and affectionate.

The faint fragrance on her wafted into his nostrils, playing havoc with his feelings.

Looking at Qin Ruan’s hands that were clutching his sleeves, Sanye Huo’s mind filled with a memory of these soft, delicate hands nestled against his neck as they drifted through waves.

"Ahem!" The scene entering his mind was quite off-time, Huo Yunjiao coughed lightly to cover his thoughts.

He lifted his gaze to Qin Ruan’s face, issuing a solemn warning, "Let Huo Zhi take you, try not to act impulsively when you’re outside. If you encounter a problem you can’t solve, call me, understand?"

His voice was deep and pleasant to hear.

Huo Yunjiao’s great eyes were already deep and attractive. When focusing on you like this, one could see the illusion of a deep affection.

Qin Ruan felt somewhat embarrassed and did not dare to meet his gaze.

"Understood."

She let go of his sleeve and turned around to go upstairs.

Although she seemed calm, her heart was in chaos.

A man’s low laughter came from behind her, light, teasing, and enticing.

Sanye Huo watched Qin Ruan’s silhouette disappear around the upstairs corner, the gentle smile on his face gradually faded away.

His handsome and demon-like face grew serious, exuding a sense of restrained and immeasurable depth.

His cold eyes also demanded in fury, "Had enough of trouble?"

His voice was as chilling as crushed ice, lacking the gentleness he had shown to Qin Ruan moments earlier.

The imminent danger emanating from behind made Lu Yichen quickly quell his anger.

When he turned, he was back to his usual tranquil facade.

Lu Yichen, with great composure, said, "Sanye, it’s getting late. I will leave and visit some other time."

After Huo Yunjiao nodded, he departed swiftly and at ease.

Leaving Qin Mei, standing alone in confusion.

Sanye Huo gave him an indifferent glance, his voice decidedly gentler: "Are you going home or to school, as Ruanruan will be going out soon?"

"Of course I’m going home! You promised me you’d explain things to father and older brother."

Qin Mei didn’t forget that there were two people at home demanding a judgment from him.

"Only if Ruanruan will be home as well, I already explained everything to your father and older brother last night. I’ll send someone to take you home later."

"Really?" Qin Mei looked skeptical.

"I never lie."

Sanye Huo sat in the hall, upright and commanding, exuding an invisible pressure.

Even as Qin Mei stood, he needed to look up to him. The aura of someone who had been a leader for many years was clearly evident.

Qin Mei thought to himself, this is where the real tough guy is.

He reluctantly said, "Fine then."

...

Upstairs.

When Qin Ruan returned to her room and closed the door, she grabbed her phone and called Qiao Jiu.

"Sister Ruan?" Qiao Jiu’s joyful voice echoed in Qin Ruan’s ears.

"It’s me, are you and uncle Qiao at home?"

"Yes!"

"Could I come over later to discuss something with you?"

"Alright, when will you arrive, Sister Ruan?"

"Within the next hour."

"Okay."

Qin Ruan hung up, changed into a set of casual clothes.

But her heart was still in turmoil.

Her union with Huo Yunjiao was for the sake of the child in her belly, to repay a debt of gratitude from her previous life.

She had endured too much hardship in West City over the years, and had been through countless heartbreaks and hardships.

Several walls had been built around her, preventing anyone from invading her inner self; she also refused to allow anyone to overstep the boundary.

Trust was a precious and significant concept to her.

Those she could trust were few and far between, yet unbeknownst to her, Huo Yunjiao had risen to the top of that protracted list.
