Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Making hugging Qin Ruan’s thigh as the ultimate goal in life

Qiao Jiu brought some snacks from the restaurant and walked over to Qin Ruan, guiding her towards the marble table.

"Sister Ruan, try these snacks I made."

She seemed like a little girl eagerly sharing her treasures.

Qin Ruan was seated on the sofa by Qiao Jiu, sampling each carefully crafted small snack.

Lin Hao’s gaze never strayed from Qin Ruan. Seeing her sitting next to him, he had lots on his mind to ask but didn’t know where to start.

At that moment, Li Manning floated over, her eyes fixed hungrily on the plate of elegant snacks.

She licked her lips, her eyes filled with longing.

She seldom had the chance to enjoy such treats in the past as her diet was strictly controlled.

The spot where Li Manning was standing was closest to Lin Hao.

His eyes widened in terror and he was so petrified that he couldn’t move.

"Qin... Qin Xiaowu?"

Both of Qin Ruan’s hands were full of snacks. Qiao Jiu kept stuffing more into her hands. Hearing Lin Hao call her, she responded without turning her head, "What’s up?"

"Qin Xiaowu!"

His voice was more emotional this time, filled with fear and shakiness.

Qin Ruan turned to see Lin Hao, a tall man of 1.8 meters, trembling. His wide eyes were filled with fear as he stared at Li Manning.

Seeing Li Manning’s focus on the snack in her hand, Qin Ruan passed her a piece she hadn’t tried yet.

Li Manning immediately took it and began nibbling.

Unfortunately, as a Puppet, she lost the sense of taste. Even the most delicious food was tasteless in her mouth.

With a faint smile on her face, Qin Ruan asked Lin Hao, "You can see Li Manning?"

"Isn’t it obvious!" Lin Hao said irritably, "She’s right here, how can I not see her!"

His voice was a bit loud. Li Manning, who was sampling the snacks, turned around. Her pitch-black eyes stared straight at him.

Qin Ruan watched Lin Hao with a thoughtful look.

She didn’t give Lin Hao the Heavenly Eye. Yet, he could see Li Manning which meant there’s something strange with his constitution.

With this strange scrutiny from a person and a Puppet, Lin Hao felt a chill run up his spine.

It was enough shocking with Qin Ruan, but it was even more alarming when Li Manning, with her dark eyes, gazed at him. He nervously said, "Big sister, stop looking at me. Stop looking!"

Li Manning’s charming face broke into a bright smile. She tilted her head and asked Lin Hao, "Are you scared of me?"

Lin Hao clamped his mouth shut, saying nothing, and kept alert of her.

With Lin Hao’s reaction, Li Manning was intrigued and floated towards him.

This really stirred Lin Hao up.

He bolted, ran towards the Qiao Family’s front gate with the speed of a 100-meter sprinter.

Halfway there, he slipped slightly but managed to maintain his balance and continued running like his life depended on it.

"Bang!"

The door of Qiao Family’s mansion slammed shut.

Lin Hao disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Li Manning looked puzzled. She blinked, turned to Qiao Nanyuan, Qiao Jiu and Qin Ruan, "Am I that scary?"

She touched her face. Her face was still intact, she hadn’t shown any frightening expressions intentionally.

Qin Ruan was also puzzled by Lin Hao’s series of actions.

Second Brother, Lu Han, Lu Yichen, and Rong Jing, they all were afraid of Puppets, but Lin Hao seemed to be a lot more terrified.

The speed at which he had fled was the fastest she had ever seen, on par with her second brother, Qin Mei.

Qin Ruan asked Qiao Nanyuan for advice, "Uncle Qiao, do men tend to be more scared of Puppets than women?"

"You can’t really generalize. It’s a personal problem. People tend to feel inherent fear when facing the unknown. As for men being more frightened of Puppets than women, perhaps it’s because men are comparatively... well, rather naive."

After thinking for a while, Qiao Nanyuan felt ’naive’ was the most appropriate term.

Hearing this, the corner of Qin Ruan’s lips twitched. It seemed to her that what he really wanted to say was that they were foolish.

Not long after Lin Hao ran out, Huo Zhi pushed the door open and slowly walked in.

She came in front of Qin Ruan, looked at the exquisite snacks on the table, and gave a slight nod, "Madam."

Qin Ruan asked her, "Where’s Lin Hao?"

Huo Zhi: "In the car."

Qin Ruan was slightly worried that Lin Hao was overly startled, "Is he alright?"

Remembering Lin Hao’s pale face, Huo Zhi thought for a while and uncertainly said, "Should be alright?"

With a helpless smile, Qin Ruan shook her head. Well, they just frightened another one.

She wondered to what extent Lin Hao was scared. Turning a robust man into a quail would surely be her fault.

She had to admit, Lin Hao being able to remain conscious was already quite courageous.

Qin Ruan put down the half-eaten snack in her hand and clapped her hands. She stood up and said goodbye to the two masters of the Qiao family, "It seems my friend was pretty scared. I should be going now. Thanks for your hospitality, Uncle Qiao and Xiao Jiu."

Qiao Nanyuan stood up to see her off, "You’re too courteous, Miss Qin."

Qiao Jiu also stood up, giggling, "Sister Ruan, you’re too polite. Just let us know if you need anything. After all, you’re more capable than my master and me. Who knows, someday we might need your help."

Qiao Nanyuan frowned, smacking Qiao Jiu’s head, scolding, "What nonsense are you spewing?"

That reckless girl had even blurted out the truth.

Qiao Jiu covered her head, dodging Qiao Nanyuan, and looked at him with reproachful eyes. "I didn’t say anything wrong. Sister Ruan is so amazing, my ultimate life goal has always been to cling onto her coattails!"

Qin Ruan couldn’t hide her amusement. She nodded to the master and apprentice of Qiao Family, "If you ever need anything, just let me know. We’ll be in touch."

She turned around and left with Huo Zhi.

"Sister Ruan, I’ll see you off!" Qiao Jiu called out loud and quickly followed them.

Inside the car.

Lin Hao was slumped weakly in the passenger seat, his heart pounding.

The world had gone mad. It wasn’t just Puppets, but also Underworld Envoys.

These things, which should have appeared only in mythical tales or on television, suddenly came to life before his eyes one day, and Lin Hao couldn’t put his mixed feelings into words.

He was sitting in the car, watching from afar as Qin Ruan and Huo Zhi were seen off by Qiao Nanyuan and Qiao Jiu.

As for that Puppet, Li Manning, who had always been with Qin Ruan, she was nowhere to be seen for the time being

Lin Hao took a deep breath, it was best that he couldn’t see her. Not seeing her meant being able to pretend that nothing had happened.

He recognized Li Manning, but understanding her didn’t mean accepting to see her as a Puppet, standing before him again.

The rear car door opened, and Qin Ruan got in.

As soon as she got in the car, her eyes fell on Lin Hao who was seated in the passenger seat, "Are you feeling better now?"

"I won’t die."

Lin Hao waved his hand weakly.

Qin Ruan chuckled, "She can’t hurt you. Are you that scared?"

Lin Hao’s face stiffened slightly. He stubbornly retorted, "I was shocked, not scared! It’s normal to lose composure upon seeing a Puppet."

"If you say so."

Qin Ruan seemed amused, her eyes were half-closed and her expression was playful.
