Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Uncle Jiao: Girl, you don’t need to test me

Xiao Wenrou was trembling with anger, shrieking at the third master, "Look at her! How can a woman as crude as her be worthy of you!"

The third master sighed in the quiet space, his displeasure seeping out.

Xiao Wenrou was testing his patience, if it weren’t for their past relationship, he wouldn’t tolerate her antics.

Gazing at Qin Ruan’s mocking expression, he approached the pair.

He stood beside Qin Ruan, his hand as white as jade reached out and laid on Qin Ruan’s hand, which was tight gripped on Xiao Wenrou’s hair.

"Ruanruan, let go."

With a cold laugh, Qin Ruan released her grip, setting Xiao Wenrou free.

However, the next second, Xiao Wenrou lunged at Qin Ruan, ready to pull at her hair.

The third master caught her move out of the corner of his eye and his expression immediately darkened.

He lifted his leg and kicked at Xiao Wenrou’s leg.

"Bang!"

She fell to the ground with a thud, crying out in pain.

The third master held Qin Ruan’s hand, his cold gaze focused on Xiao Wenrou kneeling on the ground in disarray.

"Madam Nangong, I am still here. Dare to lay a finger on my wife?"

Lowering her head, Xiao Wenrou’s cold eyes were as sharp and ruthless as a wolf’s.

When she raised her head, she pointed at Qin Ruan accusingly, "She was the first one to make a move!"

"If you didn’t provoke her, this wouldn’t have happened!"

The third master’s voice was low and icy, "You have no idea how much I’ve been worrying about this."

He lifted Qin Ruan’s hand, the reddened palm captured his attention.

He knitted his brows, concern evident in his voice, "Does it hurt?"

Qin Ruan gave a slight smile, "It’s okay, I can’t feel anything."

There were many injuries on her hand from previous fights. The slight redness from beating Xiao Wenrou was negligible compared to them.

However, the third master seemed extremely upset. He ordered Huo Zhi, "Get some ice to cool her down."

"Yes, third master—"

Huo Zhi turned and left to fetch ice.

Xiao Wenrou, who had just gotten up from the ground, watched the gentle third master with teary eyes.

She pleaded earnestly, "What kind of spell has this wicked woman cast on you? She’s not worth your kindness!"

The third master gave Xiao Wenrou a light glance, "Put away your little schemes. Qin Ruan is now my wife, the young mistress of the Huo family. Don’t even think about laying a finger on her. Tell the Nangong family that I haven’t forgotten about yesterday’s account. If there’s a next time, I’ll return it double."

Xiao Wenrou widened her eyes, defending herself with a wounded expression, "Third master, I didn’t... I didn’t—"

The third master didn’t want to hear anymore. He ordered to someone who had appeared in the living room at some point, "Huo Chuan, see her out!"

"Yes," Huo Chuan stepped forward, forcefully dragging Xiao Wenrou out by her collar.

"Moneylord, listen to my explanation. Please! I didn’t... I care for you so much, you can’t misunderstand me like this, I was really thinking of you—"

Even as she was being dragged away, Xiao Wenrou didn’t forget to plead her case.

Qin Ruan looked at the man before her, his expression like a frosty winter. She casually asked, "Moneylord, haven’t you been moved at all? A woman who cares so wholeheartedly for you is rare in this world."

Her tone was teasing, a faint smile on her face, but it didn’t reach her eyes.

Moneylord looked up, his peach blossom eyes slightly squinting as he looked at Qin Ruan.

He softly rubbed Qin Ruan’s small hand, calmly saying,"Little girl, you don’t have to test me. My feelings for you are like your feelings for me. In our relationship, there’s no room for divorce, only widowhood."

Moneylord’s solemn expression set off a flash of panic in Qin Ruan. Her heart skipped a beat, then sped up again.

The feeling of having her act seen through was as nerve-wracking as facing a teacher when she was younger.

Huo Zhi brought the ice. Moneylord reached out a hand to receive it.

He was personally cooling her, casually commenting, "Xiao Wenrou is not simple. The Nangong family wants to use the Xiao family to achieve their goals. I am afraid they will be blinded."

Qin Ruan blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering like a small fan.

As if understanding something, she asked,"What does the Moneylord mean?"

The third master replied in a deep voice, "The Xiao family is not simple. Xiao Wenrou has been through a lot with her father’s group since she was a child. She grew up amongst hooligans, resilient and stubborn."

Qin Ruan rarely heard people describe a woman in this way. It felt strangely familiar.

She held back laughter, asking, "Are you close with her, Moneylord?"

"We had a few fights when we were younger."

Unwilling to discuss further, the third master led Qin Ruan, holding the cooled hand, to the dining room.

He gently reminded her, "You’ve only had soup earlier. Have some food to fill your stomach."

Qin Ruan looked down at his wrinkled clothes, "Are you hungry too, Moneylord?"

"A bit," Moneylord’s voice was light, tinged with a chuckle.

Qin Ruan: "Was everything alright last night?"

Moneylord: "As you can see, I’m perfectly fine."

As they made their way to the dining room, their brief exchange returned them to their usual harmonious relationship.

The tension that had existed between them previously seemed to have never been there at all.

...

After breakfast, Moneylord went back to his room to change clothes and freshen up.

Qin Ruan was reclining on the comfortable couch, looking at her phone.

The news of prominent actress Li Manning’s sudden death was dominating all major online platforms today.

As Qin Ruan browsed trending topics, she saw Li Manning’s fans in despair, refusing to believe the news, leaving overly intense comments.

A number of celebrities eager to gain popularity by riding on the coattails of Li Manning’s death were sticking their heads out.

While Li Manning was still alive, these celebrities had very little interaction with her. Now that she was gone, they were all ready to capitalize on her death.

Celebrities like Xia Yunchen only briefly reposted the official announcement, expressing their sorrow over Li Manning’s passing.

As Qin Ruan scrolled through, a familiar face popped up.

A hint of mockery crossed her face.

Yong En, a model who had filthy dealings with Han Xian and Han Kexin, was also a minor figure in the entertainment circle.

He boldly posted a video exploiting Li Manning’s death.

In the video, he spoke passionately about his heartbreak over Li Manning’s death. Holding a photo of him with Li Manning, he made ambiguous statements that could easily be misinterpreted.

As soon as the video was up, a large number of Lee Manning’s fans rushed in.

But they weren’t grateful for Yong En’s thoughts about Li, they attacked him for shamelessly exploiting her death and spreading rumors about her after her passing.

Li Manning’s many fans dug up a number of Yong En’s scandals.

Yong En had previously been kept by a wealthy woman and had sexual relations with many people. He was not picky, as long as it benefitted him, he didn’t mind the gender.

As Qin Ruan scrolled through the comments, she found it very interesting. Soon the video was flagged as deleted and the comments were gone.

When she went back to look, it appeared that Yong En, unable to withstand the pressure, had deleted the video himself.
