Chapter 295: Third Master Can’t Bear Ruanruan’s Sacrifice

Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Third Master Can’t Bear Ruanruan’s Sacrifice

Qin Ruan felt that she was falling for him.

Mr. San was like a cunning fox, effortlessly winning her over.

Despite his natural cold and detached demeanor, he showed her considerable patience. Just a few soothing words in his gentle and sexy voice, and she found him irresistible.

If she wasn’t overthinking, Mr. San was flirting with her, perhaps even seducing her earlier.

The truth was, Qin Ruan wasn’t overthinking, and Huo Yunjiao was indeed just flirting with her.

Seeing Qin Ruan’s solemn expression, seemingly obedient to a fault, inviting others to bully her, he was curious to see her change.

So, he intentionally showed off his attractiveness, and to his surprise, the result was quite good.

Huo Yunjiao walked into the bathroom with a constant smirk on his face.

Half an hour later.

Huo Yunjiao stepped out of the bathroom, dressed in a champagne-colored satin pajama.

His hair was smoothly resting on his head, obviously dried in the bathroom.

While he showered, Qin Ruan too had taken a shower in the guest bedroom.

The bouts in Rong Family had left faint traces of a rotten stench on her.

Quite coincidentally.

The pajama Qin Ruan changed into after her bath was just like Huo Yunjiao’s, both were champagne-colored satin pajamas.

She sat obediently at the edge of Mr. San’s bed, counting her fingers as she waited for him to come out of the bathroom.

At the sound of the bathroom door opening, she looked up instantly.

Meeting her gaze, Mr. San discovered they were dressed in identical champagne-colored pajamas, a spark of surprise flashed through their eyes.

A smirk tugged at Huo Yunjiao’s lips and a flicker of joy sparkled in his eyes.

Qin Ruan’s beautiful and clear eyes reflected a touch of naive astonishment, warming one’s heart on sight.

Suppressing the mischievous thoughts rising in his heart, Mr. San casually walked to the other side of the bed, pulled open the thin quilt and lay down.

Seeing Qin Ruan still sitting on the edge of the bed, he patted the space next to him, "Sleep together tonight? If you’re not sleepy, we could chat?"

Qin Ruan’s expression returned to normal.

She slipped her household slippers off and lay on the other side of the bed.

On this enormous bed, there was enough space between the two of them to fit another person.

Knowing that although Qin Ruan’s actions seemed natural, she was actually quite nervous, Huo Yunjiao did not abruptly move closer.

He leaned against the headboard, picked up the tablet on the bedside table and played a slow, soothing instrumental music.

The quiet room was instantly filled with the lovely music, easing Qin Ruan’s tension.

Neither of them was in a hurry to speak.

Seeing Qin Ruan fiddling with her fingers, Huo Yunjiao felt a pang of pity, initiating the conversation, "Ruanruan, what kind of wedding do you want?"

Wedding?

Before Huo Yunjiao brought up a wedding tonight, Qin Ruan had never thought about it.

Having registered their marriage, she felt they were already married.

As for the wedding, she didn’t feel a strong desire for it, it held an optional place in her mind.

Seeing her tormenting her fingers, Mr. San couldn’t bear to watch.

He held Qin Ruan’s small hand in his, asking, "Never thought about it?"

"Mmm."

Qin Ruan lowered her head, staring at Mr. San’s slender, fair fingers enclosing her hand, and her anxiety completely ebbed away.

As she looked up, she met Huo Yunjiao’s deep eyes, "So, do I have to have a wedding ceremony?"

"You are my wife, Huo Yunjiao. You are Madam Third Master of the Huo Family." Mr. San’s voice was low.

He did not say they must have a wedding, but his words made it clear that a wedding was inevitable.

Understanding this, Qin Ruan’s expression cleared and she nodded lightly.

Being part of the Huo Family was different, and their relationship needed to be publicized.

"Any way is fine, I don’t have any particular opinions."

Qin Ruan’s voice was cold and indifferent, sounding utterly unenthusiastic about the wedding.

Huo Yunjiao’s eyes held a smile, his tone was unspeakably gentle, "The wedding ceremony will certainly be held, but Ruanruan, you should understand that once you marry me, you are part of the Huo Family, not someone to be hidden away."

"I know." Qin Ruan nodded.

"You don’t know." Huo Yunjiao squeezed her hand, "I want this wedding to be something you like. Marriage is for life, and I don’t want you to have any regrets."

Qin Ruan was slightly moved, she tilted her head to look at the man next to her, "Does this mean we don’t necessarily have to have a wedding ceremony in the near future?"

"Yes, this wedding is for you and me. I want it to be a joyful occasion, not just a formality. If you don’t want to have the wedding too soon, we could postpone it. Whenever you are ready and whatever you want for the wedding, I’ll fulfill it for you."

Qin Ruan was still young after all. He secretly desired to give her a grand and unique wedding, an unforgettable memory for a lifetime.

Preferably unforgettable enough that even if he wasn’t around one day, Qin Ruan would remember his existence through the grandeur of their wedding.

Huo Yunjiao had no intention of revealing these thoughts to Qin Ruan, he didn’t want her to be confused by other men in the future.

He did not have especially deep feelings for her; but a possessive desire for his own woman was inevitable.

This subtle thought, he would never tell Qin Ruan.

"Then we should postpone it, or wait until after the baby is born." Qin Ruan proposed her own idea.

Once she has a wedding with Huo Yunjiao, everyone in Capital City will know her identity.

Given the reputation of the Huo Family, many forces are watching closely.

Her future collection of Evil Qi will undoubtedly bring her numerous unavoidable problems.

"Alright, we’ll do as you say." Huo Yunjiao said, his eyes filled with tenderness and indulgence.

Qin Ruan relaxed entirely.

However, the next moment, another statement from him made her tense up again.

"Little Ruan, you seem to enjoy dealing with Puppets?"

Qin Ruan straightened her body, her hand resting in his palm, involuntarily tightening.

Huo Yunjiao appeared unaware of her discomfort, his fingers gently stroking Qin Ruan’s hand, seemingly soothing her.

"You’ve been up late three times, even staying out all night, all because you are dealing with those things."

"Three times?" Qin Ruan couldn’t remember.

Huo Yunjiao gazed at her innocent, beautiful face and sighed so softly she could barely hear him: "First time at the house of the Shadow Emperor, the second time staying over at the Qiao Family with their apprentices, and the third time was with the father and son of the Rong Family.

Ruanruan, even if you can see those things, you shouldn’t be so obsessed. How much do you really enjoy dealing with them?"

From his perspective, it was genuinely hard to understand.

How old was Qin Ruan? When she spoke about the victims’ souls to Lu Han last time, her expressions did not change, which had left a deep impression on him.

If it were anyone else, even the bravest girl would be somewhat frightened dealing with those things.

He once learned from Ling Xuzi that there were very few women in the Mysterious Studies World.

Most of them were born under a yin sign, their long-term contact with the evil Puppets not only affects their body but also their destiny, i.e., their lifespan.

Qin Ruan leaned against the headboard, looking up at the crystal chandelier in the room, complaining, "I don’t like dealing with them either."

If she had a choice, she would also prefer to stay in bed, eating and drinking, and live a carefree life.

She couldn’t talk about these things with her father or her elder brothers.

However, she was able to express her feelings without reservation in front of Huo Yunjiao.

Huo Yunjiao jovially said, "If you don’t like it, why bother? The Huo Family isn’t too poor to support you."

What he was mainly worried about was Qin Ruan’s health; she was frail.

Qin Ruan shook her head, "I have other reasons."

"Not because of money?" Huo Yunjiao frowned slightly, his face expressing surprise.

"No." Qin Ruan denied it.

She couldn’t share any more of the inside story with him.

Observing that she did not want to talk, Huo Yunjiao asked, " If it’s not for interest or money, is the reason you must do this very critical?"

"Yes." Qin Ruan looked directly into his eyes, her tone serious and stern, "Very much."

It concerned her and her child’s life or death, and even whether the man in front of her could live a long life.

As long as she lives, she will never let Huo Yunjiao die prematurely as he had in his past life.

Therefore, for the sake of her own life, to accompany her child for a long time, and for Huo Yunjiao’s longevity, she must keep dealing with evil spirits.

"Alright." Huo Yunjiao said no more.

He ignored the slight displeasure that rose in his heart due to Qin Ruan’s reticence.

Everybody has secrets; if Qin Ruan does not tell him, it means he still has to wait and earn her trust.

He has patience and will wait for the day Qin Ruan opens up to him.

Qin Ruan, whose hand was relaxed, grabbed Huo Yunjiao’s slender fingers, "The reason I sneaked into your bed while you were sleeping before, was also for a reason."

"Could it be that you’re attracted to my good looks?"

It was rare for Yunjiao to initiate a joke, he took Qin Ruan’s hand and touched his face jokingly.

"I’m being serious."

Qin Ruan tried to pull back her hand without success, her face a bit embarrassed.

"Well, aren’t we talking about serious things."

Huo Yunjiao really enjoyed the lively expressions on Qin Ruan’s face, it gave him an inexplicable sense of joy.

Not knowing his quirky taste, Qin Ruan deliberately straightened her face and said seriously, "Sir, the Purple Energy and Evil Qi in your body are deeply entangled, opposing yet inseparable. They can only live and die together for now."

"One good, one evil?" Huo Yunjiao’s voice was indifferent.

The analogy was not wrong, and Qin Ruan noded her agreement.

"Purple Energy and Evil Qi cannot coexist; otherwise, it will consume your life in the long run. Among the two, one must live and the other must die. Once the Purple Energy is consumed by the black fog, the danger you will face then is unimaginable.

Given some time, once I find the origin of the Evil Qi, I will eradicate it completely, and then your body will no longer be in danger."

Huo Yunjiao’s gentle eyes dimmed slightly, "A few nights ago, I felt uncomfortable before going to bed. I had difficulty breathing; I felt weak all over. But the next morning, I woke up full of energy and felt refreshingly comfortable, as if I had endless strength.

Ruanruan, what exactly did you do to me?"

Qin Ruan, whose hand wasn’t held, uncomfortably rubbed her nose.

"The past two nights while you were asleep, I was helping you manage the Purple Energy, which was firmly suppressed by the Evil Qi.

Night is when your body is weakest, as long as I manage it every now and then, it will slow down the speed at which the Evil Qi consumes the Purple Energy. I am sure we will find the cause and entirely solve it."
