Chapter 259: Chapter 259: The identity of Mrs. Qin Ruan Huo is about to be revealed

Qin Ruan took her gaze off Huo Zhi and the others.

She replied quite calmly, "No."

Meeting Ling Xiaoxuan’s puzzled look, she smiled and said, "Giving those classmates water is for their own good. The puppet energy on them could affect their luck and even their safety."

"But they don’t know that, they are sure to file a complaint to the board of directors afterwards," Ling Xiaoxuan could not help but worry for her.

Qin Ruan casually said, "They are from the Huo family."

"What the Hell?!"

This sentence was so explosive, Ling Xiaoxuan momentarily forgot her standard language.

Qin Ruan smiled without answering, stood up from the library and went to the school canteen.

The previous commotion made her feel somewhat hungry.

Her previous morning anorexia subsided, and she now felt like she could eat two bowls of rice.

"Wait, Qin Ruan explain yourself!"

Ling Xiaoxuan stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

Perhaps she pulled too hard, and without expecting it, Qin Ruan’s body tilted, and seemed about to fall.

Huo Zhi, who was not far away, had noticed Qin Ruan earlier.

She knew the Madam did not want to reveal her identity, so she didn’t approach her.

Huo Zhi watched as the woman beside the Madam pulled at her and she was about to fall to the ground.

Her heart raced, the young master was still in the Madam’s stomach, she didn’t have the time to think, and raced over with lightning speed.

The strange, panic-stricken expression on Huo Zhi’s face attracted the attention of the onlookers.

After all, she had always been the most authoritative among the group of students leaving the library.

Qin Ruan was falling backward, without any point to brace herself, she seemed about to hit the ground.

She quickly released the books in her arms, using both hands to protect her belly, her face turning white with fear.

Ling Xiaoxuan quickly reached out and grabbed Qin Ruan’s sleeve.

The loose sleeve slipped off Qin Ruan’s arm, Ling Xiaoxuan only managed to grab an empty sleeve, and Qin Ruan was still falling.

Just as Qin Ruan was bracing herself for the fall, she was caught in a soft embrace that was slightly cold.

No matter how fast Huo Zhi was, she couldn’t catch Qin Ruan in time.

She could only squat down from her body, quickly slide across the ground, spread her arms open on the ground, and hug Qin Ruan.

"Madam..."

Huo Zhi lowered her voice, her tone filled with a hint of pain.

Qin Ruan was startled, her heart pounding, almost jumping out of her chest.

Hearing Huo Zhi’s unbearable voice in her ear, she got up quickly.

"Cough cough..."

As soon as Qin Ruan got up, Huo Zhi who was lying on the ground, immediately crawled up, coughing up blood.

The punishment hall was not an easy place to survive, and the impact of Qin Ruan’s fall caused Huo Zhi’s already unhealed injury to burst open again.

"Huo Zhi, how are you?"

Qin Ruan bent down, supported Huo Zhi’s shoulder, her face filled with worry and anxiety.

"I’m okay, it’s just an old wound acting up, you don’t need to worry."

Huo Zhi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and helped Qin Ruan to get up.

In her view, the Madam was pregnant with the young master and should not squat for too long.

Qin Ruan casually grabbed Huo Zhi’s hand, and the two of them helped each other up.

"Huo Zhi, what happened?"

Long Xinzhao had been standing at the library door all along, watching Huo Zhi dash forward with the speed of a cheetah.

Even using her own body as a buffer to protect Qin Ruan from getting hurt.

He didn’t understand and was somewhat curious.

"Master Long."

Huo Zhi turned around, greeted him without changing her expression.

Long Xinzhao’s gaze was fixed on Qin Ruan, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

Huo Zhi saw this, narrowed his eyes, and took two steps forward to block his view.

"Master Long, please exercise restraint."

This man’s gaze was crossing the line.

Huo Zhi knew all too well the look in Long Xinzhao’s eyes-it was the look of a higher-ranking individual looking at a pet kept in an outer circle.

Long Xinzhao’s eyes widened slightly, staring at Huo Zhi incredulously.

Could Qin Ruan really have the ability to earn Huo Zhi’s protection?

This wasn’t a simple matter!

Long Xinzhao pressed his lips together, clicked his tongue, and probed, "The Second Master’s?"

"Master Long!"

Without the master’s command, Huo Zhi would not disclose the identity of the madam, not even to the nephew of the elder master.

Huo Zhi’s persistent attitude further aroused Long Xinzhao’s curiosity.

Despite his handsome face and brotherly warmth, he carried the arrogance of a noble family in his bones.

As for Qin Ruan, he didn’t really pay her much attention.

But Huo Zhi’s attitude made him extremely curious.

It was said that Qin Ruan was the illegitimate daughter of the Qin Family, but some people knew the truth.

For instance, the children of the four major families and six aristocratic families in the school networked extensively, and they could easily investigate the background of the lowly Qin Family.

Even if Qin Ruan was the legitimate daughter of the Qin Family.

Her status and family background were nowhere near enough to associate with the mighty Huo Family.

The two couldn’t be compared, there was a world of difference—it would be a great honor to even mention the Qin Family in the same breath.

Long Xinzhao stroked his chin, tilting his head to try and glimpse Qin Ruan, who was hidden behind Huo Zhi.

The latter also turned her head, reciprocating his gaze of interest.

Still in shock, Qin Ruan gave him a distant, polite smile.

"Junior, are you heading to the dining hall? How about we go together?" Long Xinzhao suggested, his dark eyes flickering.

Qin Ruan touched Huo Zhi’s shoulder to pacify him and emerged from his shadow.

She distanced herself from Long Xinzhao and said, "I wouldn’t want to disturb you, senior. I’ve already agreed to dine with Ling."

Ling Xiaoxuan was standing next to Qin Ruan, silent until now.

Since she was mentioned by name, she immediately stepped forward, draped her arm around Qin Ruan’s shoulders, and smiled at Long Xinzhao.

"Long Xinzhao, do remember to give a heads up next time you want to invite a junior. She’s under my wing now."

After saying this, she leaned in to Qin Ruan’s ear and whispered, "Are you alright? You scared me to death."

Ling Xiaoxuan was still shaky from the fright she got, and she patted her chest to reassure herself.

"I’m fine, luckily I didn’t fall."

Qin Ruan frowned and looked down, her hand unconsciously caressing her stomach.

This movement was caught by the observant Long Xinzhao.

A flash in his eyes indicated that he seemed to understand the implications of those books in the library.

Upon sensing his gaze, Qin Ruan naturally moved her hand away from her stomach.

She was familiar with Long Xinzhao, as they both came from the four major families, just like Lu Yichen.

She didn’t hide her identity in front of Lu Yichen, and naturally, she wouldn’t do so in front of Long Xinzhao either.

Some things should just run their natural course. There’s no need to be too cautious.

Qin Ruan looked at Huo Zhi worriedly, "Do you feel unwell anywhere? Should we go to the infirmary?"

"No need, the school doctor can’t help with the injury I got earlier."

The complexity of Huo Zhi’s injury meant it was beyond an ordinary doctor’s comprehension.

He could only return to the Huo Mansion and get treated by the Huo Family’s doctor.

Seeing her dilemma, Qin Ruan suggested, "Then you should see a doctor about your injury. I have classes in the afternoon and I’m not going anywhere. Nothing will happen."

"I dare not,"

The Third Master had ordered him to stick to the madam closely.

With the recent unrest in the Su Family, there was no way Huo Zhi could leave at this time.
