Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 379: Qin Ruan: Did you ask for my permission to see my man?

Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Qin Ruan: Did you ask for my permission to see my man?

On any other day, Qin Ruan would have definitely drunk this soup.

But today, she was in a poor mood and her appetite wasn’t good either.

Slowly raising the corner of her lips, Qin Ruan spoke in a gentle tone to the servant, "Leave it here, I’ll drink it later."

The medicinal soup that was served at this moment was just the right temperature to sip - it ensured that it wouldn’t burn Qin Ruan’s mouth, and that the various precious medicinal ingredients it contained retained their efficacy.

The servant looked at Huo Zhi with a look of helplessness, and the latter was serious, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Huo Zhi didn’t understand why Madam Qin Ruan, who always drank her medicinal soup daily, didn’t touch it today.

She made a hand motion to the servant, who carefully retreated.

Seeing Qin Ruan’s display, Xiao Wenrou’s heart burned with jealousy. She scoffed, "Ha, just because you are pregnant, doesn’t mean you need to act so delicate. A woman of humble birth really seems to think she’s of high importance."

Qin Ruan kept her gaze on the medicinal soup, too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Wenrou, who started the day off on the wrong foot.

The other party barged in here without basic etiquette, questioning her third master.

If it were not for her temperament having changed, she would have taught Xiao Wenrou a lesson by pulling her hair.

Huo Zhi stepped forward, slightly bowed to Xiao Wenrou, and said in a deep voice, "Madam Nangong, would you please show some restraint. Our young Madam is more precious than our master in the Huo Family. Everyone in this household has the primary duty of serving her."

Qin Ruan lifted her gaze, looked disdainfully at Xiao Wenrou, and her pale lips curved into a mocking smile.

She wasn’t concerned about this woman yesterday, but after that dream in the morning that seemed real yet full of discrepancies, her disdain for Xiao Wenrou was intensified.

There really isn’t a need for any reason to dislike someone.

Simply looking at them makes everything about them irritating.

Right now, Xiao Wenrou, who was supposed to be a noblewoman with polite speech and behavior, seemed pretentious in Qin Ruan’s eyes.

Qin Ruan, lazily reclining on the sofa, scrutinized Xiao Wenrou. Her gaze was so critical it was as if Xiao Wenrou were an object for her to examine.

This made Xiao Wenrou very uncomfortable, and she glared, annoyance seeping through her meticulously applied makeup, "What are you looking at?"

Qin Ruan, playing absentmindedly with her hair draped over her shoulder, said in a slow drawl, "Madam Nangong, you rushed over to the Huo family the day after you got married. May I ask why?

Are you here to apologize on behalf of your husband, or are you checking us out? No need to apologize. I won’t accept."

"Who do you think you are?!" Xiao Wenrou replied, sounding justified, "I am here to see my third brother!"

"Third brother?" Qin Ruan frowned, confusion spreading over her charming and rosy face.

She turned to Huo Zhi and asked, "Does Madam Nangong have a third brother?"

Huo Zhi bowed respectfully and replied in a soft voice, "As far as I know, Madam Nangong has an elder brother, Xiao Yujie, and a younger sister named Xiao Wentian."

Qin Ruan gave a satisfied smile, gently nodded, and signaled that she understood.

She then looked at Xiao Wenrou with a sarcastic grin, "So, Madam Nangong, who is this third brother of yours that you suddenly claim to have?"

Xiao Wenrou clenched her purse in anger, "I’m talking about Huo’s Third Master!"

"So, it’s my third master that you want to see." Qin Ruan laughed lightly, "The Huo family doesn’t have any sisters. Madam Nangong, don’t proclaim brotherhood unilaterally, or others might think you lack love."

With that, she covered her lips, her expression mocking and contempt apparent as she glanced at Xiao Wenrou.

Xiao Wenrou, an aristocratic woman, had never encountered anyone who dared to be so rude to her, and she lost her temper immediately.

She glared at Qin Ruan, her words were like a knife, "Qin Ruan, do not think Third Master will like you, or think you’re great. Everyone knows that Third Master is cold and has a cold heart, the only reason he’s with you is because of the child!"

Her words fell flat on Qin Ruan, neither aching nor Itching.

"Ha!" Qin Ruan scoffed, "What a coincidence. The reason I’m with Third Master is also because of the child."

Xiao Wenrou looked down at her, her demeanor was that of looking down on everyone

As if she had seen through everything, she sneered at Qin Ruan who seemed like a clown, "So you admit it, you admit that you used unscrupulous means to have Third Master’s child?"

Qin Ruan’s face held a smile, a non-smile. How come it’s her who was unscrupulous, when it was clearly the Su family who plotted against Third Master and Han Xian, Han Kexin, who planned against her. Only then did the entanglement between her and the Third Master occur.

However, she would not reveal this to an irrelevant outsider.

Qin Ruan crossed her legs, placed her hands on her knees, and played with her elongated fingers. She spoke in a cold, aloof tone, "Madam Nangong, I have to declare, whether I am carrying Third Master’s child or not, you will not step foot in the Huo family."

If Xiao Wenrou could enter the Huo Family, Third Master would not have remained single till his death.

These words hit Xiao Wenrou’s scar directly. The anger that burst out from her eyes seemed as if it was going to incinerate Qin Ruan.

Not being able to marry into the Huo family was the regret of her life. Every time she thought of it, her heart ached.

She couldn’t marry into the Huo Family. Why should Qin Ruan, who came from a humble background, get everything she had striven for but never obtained.

Xiao Wenrou clenched her fists, no longer able to hide her anger and jealousy towards Qin Ruan, "Even if it’s not me, it certainly should not be you!!!"

Qin Ruan looked at her, a faint smile on her lips, her beautiful face sweet with the smile

This unyielding appearance of hers almost made Xiao Wenrou die of anger.

Xiao Wenrou gathered her strength, staring at Qin Ruan with serious eyes: "Take a good look at yourself, what position you’re from. The Huo Family is a distinguished and influential family, the top among the four great families. If this was in ancient times, it would be a nobility of Heaven, and you are just a commoner. What gives you the right to sit here?"

"With your lowly background, look at yourself. In what way are you suitable for Master Huo? The woman who stands beside Master Huo should be a distinguished lady that matches his talent and virtue in every way, a refined lady from a good family!"

The more Xiao Wenrou talked, the angrier she became. In her view, there was nothing good about Qin Ruan from head to toe.

Having someone like her in Master Huo’s presence was simply a disgrace to him.

Qin Ruan didn’t get angry at Xiao Wenrou’s tirade, her smile even brightened.

She narrowed her eyes, filled with amusement, and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I don’t come from a high background. But today, here I am sitting and not any other woman. Whether you’re angry or not, it doesn’t matter."

Qin Ruan’s tone was calm, her expression carefree. She was merely stating a fact.

The more she behaved like this, the angrier Xiao Wenrou became.

It seemed as if all the spiteful words she uttered did not bother Qin Ruan at all. Qin Ruan seemed not to care.

Xiao Wenrou released a deep breath. The fluctuation in her chest showed just how angry she truly was.

She tried hard to stay calm and repeated her previous words: "Qin Ruan, Master Huo won’t like you!"

Qin Ruan laughed: "It’s fine, as long as he likes the child, that’s enough. After all, I’m with him because of the child, not because I like him."

Xiao Wenrou stared at Qin Ruan, incredulously: "That’s not fair to Master Huo."

Qin Ruan appeared innocent: "How’s that unfair?"

Xiao Wenrou’s voice rose even higher: "Master Huo could marry you, why don’t you like him? Are you treating him well?"

The topic changed so quickly, Qin Ruan was confused and blinked: "Wait a minute, Madam Nangong, please make it clear. You’ve said Master Huo doesn’t like me, so why should I like him?"

Xiao Wenrou declared righteously: "Master Huo married you, you should be grateful."

Qin Ruan lifted the corners of her lips: "Grateful and so like him?"

She found Xiao Wenrou’s line of thinking ridiculous.

Yet, Xiao Wenrou seriously said: "It’s your honor."

Qin Ruan’s beautiful face regained its expressionless look, her voice a little heavier: "You’re wrong. I’m a very selfish person. If you want something from me, you must have given me something of equal value in return."

Xiao Wenrou accused Qin Ruan loudly: "How can you be so selfish!"

"I told you, I’m very selfish."

Qin Ruan exactly found this woman ridiculous, whether she liked Master Huo or not, it was wrong.

She couldn’t help but wonder if the Xiao family lived by the sea, they sure loved to meddle in her business.

Xiao Wenrou’s face turned red with anger: "You’re not worthy of Master Huo!"

Qin Ruan nonchalantly replied: "If I’m not suitable, then I’m not. I never intended to be."

Xiao Wenrou’s face changed dramatically, her eyes wide as she stared at Qin Ruan, incredulously.

She pointed at Qin Ruan, her face pale, as if she had caught Qin Ruan’s little secret: "You are just after the Huo family, you don’t like Master Huo, you’re just interested in the power of the Huo family. You’re a very cunning woman!"

"Thanks for the compliment." Qin Ruan didn’t bother to refute, she was tired of arguing with this woman.

She began to wonder if Xiao Wenrou was simply a mindless, love-blinded woman. Considering her background, it seemed unlikely.

However, she had seen through Xiao Wenrou, a shrew in disguise of elegance and intellect.

You talk sense to her, she quarrels with you senselessly.

If she can’t outtalk you, she brings up imaginary accusations against you.

Qin Ruan gave up. She gave up arguing with her. It was a waste of time.

Her morning peace was wasted on a senseless shrew. She felt a bit tired.

Qin Ruan’s stomach started to protest. She got up and said indifferently: "Madam Nangong, if there’s nothing else, please leave. I won’t be extending my hospitality." She then walked towards the dining room.

"Stop!"

Xiao Wenrou stood up abruptly, calling out to Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan turned around. Her brow furrowed with impatience, clearly losing patience. "Anything else?"

"I want to see Master Huo!"

Qin Ruan chuckled slightly, her eyes cold as they met Xiao Wenrou’s: "You want to see my man? Did you ask me if I agree?"

"I’m formally telling you now, I want to see Master Huo." Xiao Wenrou suppressed her anger and emphasized again that she wanted to see Master Huo.

Qin Ruan was as straightforward as could be: "And I’m formally informing you, I won’t let you see him!"

"Huo Zhi, escort Madam Nangong out."

"Yes, Madam."

Huo Zhi stepped forward, made a gesture for Xiao Wenrou to leave, and commanded with a firm attitude: "Madam Nangong, please."
