Chapter 224: Chapter 224: With her around, no one can take his life

Qin Ruan didn’t know why she believed in Huo Yunjiao unconditionally, even to the point of developing a sense of dependence on him.

This left her at a loss, pervaded with an inexplicable sense of panic.

Apparently, she had such unwavering faith in him.

After all, Huo Yunjiao, the Third Master of Capital City, was no ordinary man.

Even though he was always gentle and indulgent towards her, she could never fail to sense his habitual decisiveness and dominance, the result of holding high positions for many years.

The Third Master treated her as a child, they had never stood at the same height.

Qin Ruan’s gaze darkened slightly, her little face tense.

Honestly, she had never thought about receiving reciprocated emotions from the Third Master, Huo Yunjiao.

But now, her heart was in turmoil because of him.

In just a few days, she had fallen to this point. Was it merely a sense of affection, or so-called liking, or some predestined debt from a past life? She found herself unable to distinguish.

Aside from her father and brother, no one had ever been so kind to her.

Perhaps this fondness had made her lose her judgement.

Qin Ruan changed her clothes, shook her head to stop her thoughts, and stopped torturing herself.

Just let it be, no matter what, in this life she would be entangled with the Third Master.

Right now, his life was in her hands.

As long as she was there, no one could take his life.

Qin Ruan picked up her backpack, stuffed her phone into it, and turned to leave the room.

...

Downstairs.

Huo Yunjiao and Qin Mei sat face-to-face, both silent.

Hearing the footsteps coming from upstairs, both of their gazes locked at once on Qin Ruan.

Qin Mei looked eagerly at her, "Ruanruan, where are you going?"

"To see a friend."

Qin Ruan walked down the stairs, her voice calm.

From beginning to end, she never laid her eyes on Huo Yunjiao.

His gaze was too intense, she couldn’t ignore it.

Qin Ruan walked up to the sofa and handed her backpack to Huo Zhi, who was waiting for her.

She turned and walked towards the Third Master, sitting elegantly on the sofa with his back against it.

"Third Master, I’ll leave first."

Qin Ruan stood straight like a student facing her teacher, a bit stiff.

Huo Yunjiao’s eyes were as deep as the old well, his dark pupils just stared at her.

He didn’t understand why Qin Ruan’s attitude toward him had become so distant after she went upstairs.

The little girl’s rigid manners reminded him of when they first met.

The Third Master was displeased and stood up.

He walked up to Qin Ruan and stared at her, his gaze undisguised, releasing spanners of hidden sharpness, his aura was intimidating.

Under Huo Yunjiao’s stare, Qin Ruan felt as though she had nowhere to hide, as all her inwardness laid bare before him.

It was as if the clothes on her body enclosed her attempts to veil her inner thoughts.

And the Third Master was the executioner, stripping off her clothes layer by layer, revealing everything she tried to hide, like peeling an onion.

Qin Ruan’s heart seemed to have been scalded. Her frantic heart thumped quickly in her chest, feeling nervous and uneasy.

Noticing her instability, Huo Yunjiao reined in the slightly oppressive feeling he had just released.

Ultimately he couldn’t bear to, the Third Master sighed lightly.

The little girl had just warmed up to him a few days ago, and now, she had retreated back into her own shell.

This wasn’t the result he wanted.

Huo Yunjiao gave a low laugh, his lips curled into a gentle spring-like smile.

"Go ahead, be careful out there."

Qin Ruan nodded hurriedly and turned to leave.

Huo Yunjiao grabbed her wrist and said softly, "Little girl, you still owe me an explanation, I’ll wait for you."

An explanation?

Qin Ruan’s mind went blank for a moment.

Then she quickly understood.

It was all because of her that Huo Yunjiao’s health fluctuated between weakness and normalcy.
