Chapter 261: Chapter 261: If Third Master finds out, he might hunt him down

Master San said gently, "You go on, you don’t need to worry about her affairs."

"Mm——"

Qin Ruan responded, the admonition from Master San again ringing in her ears.

"Take care of yourself, relax and don’t put pressure on yourself, call me if there’s anything."

"Okay, bye."

Qin Ruan waited for Master San to hang up the phone first before she handed the phone to Huo Zhi.

She had to admit, after chatting with this man for a bit, all the uneasiness she had previously harbored in her heart had been soothed and completely dissipated.

Qin Ruan said to Huo Zhi, "Huo Chuan will come soon, why don’t you find a place to rest first?"

Huo Zhi nodded, indicating she understood.

"Do you want me to stay with you here?" Qin Ruan still felt a little worried.

"No need, Madam, you have class in the afternoon. My matters here will be resolved soon."

Huo Zhi certainly wouldn’t dare to let Qin Ruan keep her company here.

Having enjoyed the melon and full of interest, Long Xinzhao, who was disheveled, led Ling Xiaoxuan over to Qin Ruan.

He suggested again, "We’re going to eat, come on, we’ll go together!"

Qin Ruan looked at Ling Xiaoxuan’s state and decided not to decline Long Xinzhao’s suggestion this time.

After instructing Huo Zhi a bit more, the three turned around and left.

The direction they were headed in was the school canteen.

Just as the three left, the crowd in the library who had been held back by the Huo family’s hidden guard, exploded in discussion.

What’s the relationship between Qin Ruan and Long Xinzhao?

Or rather, what’s the connection between Qin Ruan and the people who stopped them?

Or even, out of Qin Ruan, Ling Xiaoxuan, and Long Xinzhao, who’s involved with Huo Zhi?

They couldn’t hear what was being discussed amongst the group, but they could sense a strange atmosphere.

Especially Long Xinzhao. This young master seems good-natured and boyishly good-looking, but is actually more aloof than the male god, Lu Yichen.

Yet, he insists on being close to Qin Ruan.

Could the posts on the school forum be true?

Is Qin Ruan really dating Lu Yichen?

You must know, Lu Yichen and Long Xinzhao are close, Long Xinzhao’s attitude towards Qin Ruan, is really thought-provoking.

"Long Xinzhao!"

At this moment, Gu Qingqing’s voice echoed at the entrance of the library.

However, the three who had already travelled quite a distance away couldn’t hear her call.

Even if they could, Long Xinzhao wouldn’t want to bring her along.

The Qin Ruan beside him might be Master San’s woman, with a little one in her belly.

Right now, all his gossiping interest is focused on Qin Ruan.

Arriving at the school cafeteria, Long Xinzhao actively led the two into the smaller dining area.

They didn’t need to line up, they just had to order in the dining hall.

Qin Ruan selected some dishes that suited her taste, then handed the ordering tablet to Ling Xiaoxuan who was sitting opposite her.

If it was as usual, Ling Xiaoxuan definitely would’ve sat next to Qin Ruan.

Today, no matter what, she didn’t dare.

In Ling Xiaoxuan’s eyes, Qin Ruan was a high-risk group, a person who needed to be exclusively protected.

She was fearful that if she sat too close to Qin Ruan, she might accidentally bump into her.

"Senior sister, look and see what you want to eat."

Ling Xiaoxuan carefully took the tablet, careful not to touch Qin Ruan’s hand.

She casually selected a few dishes and handed the tablet to Long Xinzhao.

From beginning to end, Ling Xiaoxuan’s gaze remained on Qin Ruan, especially fixating on her not-yet-revealing pregnant belly.

"Qin Ruan, is the one you mentioned before the one?"

Qin Ruan leaned back in her chair, her eyes half-lowering as she said softly, "Which one?"

"That is, Master San."

"Yes," she admitted.

Upon receiving the affirmative answer, Ling Xiaoxuan was so surprised to the point of suffocation, quickly turning her face red.

Seeing her like this, Long Xinzhao couldn’t help but laugh.

"Impressive!"

Ling Xiaoxuan didn’t appreciate that comment.

She exhaled sharply, glaring at Long Xinzhao.

"You have prospects, and here you are, dining with us?"

We’re all the same, who’s looking down on whom?

After finishing his order, Long Xinzhao hit the send button and tossed the tablet aside.

His posture was upright, a clear sign of good upbringing, and his behaviour radiated a sense of superiority.

This inherent arrogance wasn’t too off-putting.

But the way he looked at Qin Ruan was somewhat intriguing.

Long Xinzhao stared at Qin Ruan for a long while, whose gaze did not waver, calmly meeting his stare.

It was as if they were in a contest, whoever spoke first would lose.

Ling Xiaoxuan couldn’t stand the silence.

She waved her hand in front of Long Xinzhao: "What are you looking at? Stare all you want, but she’s not yours."

"I dare to dream," he retorted.

Long Xinzhao glanced at her, his tone inexplicably sour.

No one knew what he was sour about.

Qin Ruan raised her eyebrows, "What? Are you infatuated with the Third Master?"

Her comment was full of irreverence, completely contrasting her gentle exterior.

It’s important to understand that over the years in West City, some of her acquired habits and constant skirmishes had made her rough around the edges.

She’s never been a pushover.

At her words, Long Xinzhao’s jaw dropped in shock.

"Don’t spread such rumors!"

If the Third Master heard, he might be after him.

"What are you grumbling about then? Anyone would think I’ve stolen your lover."

Qin Ruan’s eyes brimmed with mockery. Ever since she met Long Xinzhao, his attitude towards her had been odd, which made it hard for her to respond in kind.

Long Xinzhao crossed his arms, "Junior, do you have a problem with me?"

"It’s you who has a problem with me."

Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, her fingers stroking a book that lay beside her.

She spoke nonchalantly, "If you’re bothered by me, there’s no need to put up with it here and spoil the mood. Your presence affects both my appetite and digestion."

"You have quite the venomous tongue," Long Xinzhao looked at Qin Ruan in disbelief.

The more he looked at Qin Ruan, the deeper his disappointment.

Gaze sharp, she uttered, "Not as venomous as you."

"What’s so venomous about me?" Long Xinzhao was puzzled.

"Your eyes, they’re so poisonous, they make people uncomfortable."

"..."

Long Xinzhao was so angry, he could hardly breathe steadily.

After a long while, he finally sighed, defeated.

"I need to address you as my sister-in-law after all. Can’t you be less harsh?"

"I can’t."

Qin Ruan was unmoved, her gaze as icy as ever.

"I just want to know one thing: the Third Master’s recent trip abroad to recuperate, does it have anything to do with you?"

Long Xinzhao didn’t bother to hide his question any longer.

His gaze fell on Qin Ruan’s abdomen, brimming with curiosity and a hint of resentment.

That question left Qin Ruan speechless.

Having been reincarnated, she naturally knew why the Third Master had gone abroad for treatment.

The Third Master had remained celibate for nearly three decades, never getting involved with other women.

But that night at the Imperial Court Hotel, under the coercion or the mutual attraction of each other, he broke his vows.

His already frail body became even weaker.

Once certain things are lost, they can damage one’s vitality and life force.

The fact that the Third Master left the country overnight for treatment indeed had an inseparable connection with her.
