Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 310: Qin Ruan’s identity can no longer be concealed

Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Qin Ruan’s identity can no longer be concealed

"Clap, clap, clap..." Nangong Chang clapped his hands.

He laughed and said: "Third Lord is indeed a man of swift action. I heard from Su Jingshu recently that you were entangled with a woman at the Imperial Court Hotel. She is the daughter of the Qin family, isn’t she?"

In fact, Nangong Chang only recalled the incident at the Imperial Court Hotel a month ago after finding out from his subordinates that Huo Chuan had left the hospital with someone.

When they were all plotting against Third Lord, they had deliberately chosen a woman born under an inauspicious sign to ruin him, but they didn’t expect someone to intervene mid-way.

The one who did was Qin Ruan, who had been drugged and ended up in Huo Yunjiao’s room due to a series of unfortunate events.

"Yes."

Third Lord’s lips curled up in a pleasing smile, not bothering to conceal his delight.

Nangong Chang squinted his eyes, implying something more: "Is Third Lord developing human affections?"

"Affection?" Third Lord questioned back, then laughed and shook his head: "I don’t have a heart, so how can I develop affections?"

Nangong Chang was momentarily taken aback when he heard this.

He swiftly burst out laughing: "Hahaha... Third Lord, you’re indeed a fascinating person!"

He wiped the teardrops caused by laughter from the corner of his eyes, his gaze teasing: "If Third Lord is dispassionate, then the special care towards the Qin family is a bit puzzling."

"You’re talking too much today."

Third Lord relaxed his body, lazily leaning back on the sofa.

Even with his languid posture, his elegant demeanor remained unaffected.

Due to his pale face, he had a certain gentle and modest charm, similar to a frail and noble gentleman.

Third Lord glanced at Nangong Chang, his cold gaze now fully exposed: "I’ve spoken more today than I usually do in a week."

The warning and displeasure in his words were unmistakable, given that Third Lord is renowned in Capital City for his gentlemanly demeanor and excellent temper.

Nangong Chang looked solemn and repentant: "I forgot about your ill health, my apologies for stepping out of line."

He had almost forgotten, Third Lord was indeed a sickly person.

He wasn’t an ordinary person; a slight gust of wind could bring on a bout of severe illness.

No one knew when he might breathe his last.

Although the woman he spent time with in the hotel wasn’t born under an inauspicious sign, if Third Lord loses his virginity, his end wouldn’t be far off.

With this thought, a sense of superiority welled up within Nangong Chang.

Third Lord looked down slowly: "Unlike you people, my poor health is my own problem. I can’t blame others."

"Third Lord, you mustn’t say such things. With good care, you’ll surely recover someday."

These words sounded nice, but Huo Yunjiao had heard them countless times since he was young.

Third Lord gently rubbed his forehead, his voice cutting through the air: "Do not mess with the Qin family. That girl from the Qin family spent a night with me, she is young and was wronged, so it’s only right that the Huo Family takes good care of her."

Nangong Chang: "Yes, we wouldn’t dare interfere with the people under your protection."

He stood and gave a friendly smile: "If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb your rest. Please take care of yourself."

"I’m not feeling well, so I won’t see you out."

"You needn’t trouble yourself, Third Lord."

Nangong Chang turned to leave as if he suddenly remembered something and turned back.

"I almost forgot. When I came to see you today, there was an important matter to attend to."

Third Lord looked up, with a faint raise of his eyebrows. His dark eyes were chilling and intimidating.

Nangong Chang had a radiant smile: "I’m getting married to Wenrou in a few days. I hope you will kindly grace the occasion and bear witness to our union."

"I will be there for sure." Third Lord’s lips curled up, his elegant face revealing a faint smile: "Congratulations on your accomplishment."

"Hahaha... you flatter me, Third Lord."

Nangong Chang turned and left, his joyful laughter echoing around the vast living room of the Huo Mansion.

Third Lord watched his retreating figure, his pale lips slightly pursed, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a smirk that suggested something intriguing.

Only when Nangong Chang’s figure disappeared did the cold light in Third Lord’s gentle eyes run wild, his smirk turning wicked.

He gestured to the hidden guard not far from him.

The Hidden Guard approached: "Third Lord?"

Third Lord’s voice was low and menacing: "Prepare the carriage, we’re going to the Qin Family."

"Yes."

Huo Yunjiao crossed his legs, tapping lightly on his knee. His handsome face reflected a hint of contemplation.

He had overlooked some things. The identity of Qin Ruan would inevitably be revealed.

He wondered whether that girl would throw a tantrum when she found out.

...

Nangong Chang left the Huo Mansion in his private car.

He made a phone call to Su Jingshu in the car.

As soon as the call was connected, Nangong Chang coldly said: "Meet me at the Imperial Court Hotel tonight, the usual place."

"What’s up?" The tone of Su Jingshu’s voice on the other end was a bit panting, as if she was jogging.

Hearing this, Nangong Chang’s face darkened, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

Su Jingshu was unrestrained and had a particular fondness for men.

The marriage between the Huo and Su Families was called off because she was caught cheating, and even ended up pregnant.

Not much time had passed, and this woman still had no regard for appropriateness.

Suppressing his irritation, Nangong Chang coldly said: "There’s been a change in the Huo Family’s situation, I’ll explain when we meet."

There was a soft sound of agreement from Su Jingshu’s end, and then a man’s grumbling and dissatisfied voice was heard.

"Baby, we’ll continue later."

Su Jingshu playfully patted the man’s cheek and, without putting on her clothes, moved to a quiet place her tone returned to normal.

"What has changed? Shouldn’t we discuss this with my old man?"

Nangong Chang’s tone was sarcastic: "Heh! Now that you hold the power in the Su Family, it’s better to talk to you than your old man."

Su Jingshu laughed, her voice triumphant: "Thanks for the compliment, Young Master Nangong. I’ll see you at our regular spot."

"Don’t bring any miscellaneous people!" Nangong Chang warned.

Su Jingshu was not pleased: "My little sweethearts are all very well-behaved."

"Su Jingshu!"

"I get it, I get it--"

...

The Qin Residence.

When Qin Jingcen returned, the blood in the hall and courtyard of the Qin residence had already been cleaned up.

The hidden guards of the Huo Family have their methods to handle such situations.

After they cleaned up, there was no trace of blood or any scent of gore.

After a shower and a change of clothes, Qin Ruan went downstairs.

Standing on the upper floor, she spotted her eldest brother speaking with a strange woman downstairs at a glance.

Qin Mei was sitting obediently to the side, looking even more well-behaved than usual.

Qin Ruan greeted: "Brother, you’re back."

On hearing his sister’s voice, Qin Jingcen’s serious expression softened slightly.

He turned to look at Qin Ruan, his eyes full of affection: "I bought you some pastries, why don’t you try them and see if you like the taste?"

"I’m coming!"

Qin Ruan walked down the stairs and directly sat next to Qin Jingcen.

She opened the familiarly exquisite packaging on the table, revealing a variety of pastries inside.

Qin Ruan picked up a black ox tongue cake with her delicate fingers and took a bite.

The taste was the same as she remembered. It was the flavor she was accustomed to.

"Delicious, the taste hasn’t changed."

She squinted her eyes and smiled, satisfaction and happiness reflecting in her eyes.

In West City, her favorite was black ox tongue cake, but because of the lack of money back then, she could only occasionally afford it.
