Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Master Huo: Madam’s Unintentional Flirtation

Qin Ruan leaned on the sofa, speaking languidly, "No need, I’ve sorted out things at home."

Things were sorted out?

Huo Yunjiao’s eyebrows raised slightly, so she had returned home suddenly to sort out things.

He didn’t ask Qin Ruan what she had solved, he got up to arrange his sleeves, reaching out to Qin Ruan who was sitting lazily on the sofa.

Qin Ruan looked up, wondering at the handsome Master Huo, "What for?"

Huo Yunjiao smiled amiably, suggesting, "Since you’re free, let’s take a stroll around the company."

"HEA Group?"

"Mm, second brother isn’t here, I’ll stay at the company for a few days."

As soon as Huo Yunjiao finished speaking, Qin Ruan put her hand promptly into his large palm.

Using his strength, she quickly got up from the sofa.

His handsome face showed a hint of panic at her swift and neat movements.

He reached out to support Qin Ruan’s waist, advising, "Be careful, watch out for the baby in your belly."

Qin Ruan’s body was close to Huo Yunjiao’s, she lifted her head, catching sight of the handsome jawline of Master Huo.

His delicate eyebrows, attractive facial features, and gentle elegance only made one sigh at his amazing skin quality.

Qin Ruan did not notice the ambiguity of their actions, she cheerfully said, "I heard that the HEA Group has a shooting range, I’d like to play there."

Huo Yunjiao’s hand at her waist was lightly rubbing it, his voice hoarse, "We have one at home, why go to the company’s shooting range?"

Qin Ruan’s eyes curved like crescents, her stunning face revealing an eager and excited smile.

She said, "It’s not the same, the company’s range of top-tier weapons is more comprehensive, I wanted to see it for a long time."

As she spoke, her body leaned slightly forward. The already close contact left Huo Yunjiao acutely aware of the changes in Qin Ruan over these short three months.

If the Qin Ruan he had first met was an ordinary girl...

Then after three months of pregnancy, her physique had undergone an unbelievable transformation.

Huo Yunjiao could not bear her unintentional flirting, he gently pushed Qin Ruan away to keep the unspeakable area away from his chest.

He nodded his tight jaw slightly, telling Qin Ruan, "Alright, I’ll have Huo Chuan show you around when we get to the company."

Qin Ruan beamed and said, "Master Huo is so nice!"

Saying so, she kissed Huo Yunjiao on the cheek as a thank you.

This kiss held no ambiguity, both of their expressions held no discomfort.

Huo Yunjiao lowered his eyes, taking a peak at Qin Ruan’s neck, finding nothing amiss, his gaze quickly shifted.

He touched Qin Ruan’s forehead lightly, looking both helpless and indulgent, "Oh you."

...

The HEA Group.

The sound of car engines echoed as several luxury cars parked in front of the company.

Employees coming in and out of the company stopped to look.

Huo Chuan got out of the car first, went around the back to open the door.

He bent slightly, respectful, "Master Huo, Madam, we’ve arrived."

The Hidden Guards of the Huo Family that were in the other cars all dismounted, forming a line at the entrance of the company in a well-trained manner.

As Huo Yunjiao and Qin Ruan got out of the car, the company members who saw Huo Chuan could guess that the arrivals were from the Huo Family.

Seeing Huo Yunjiao stepping out of the car, everyone swiftly bowed.

Chatter that was previously in low voices had abruptly stopped.

Master Huo, who has always been enigmatic, rarely appeared in the company, but most people still recognized him.

Qin Ruan looked up, taking in the HEA Group building.

This sight of the towering building, one of the top companies domestically, indeed carried a certain grandeur.

Huo Yunjiao held Qin Ruan’s hand, stepping into the company’s lobby as if nobody else was present.

Huo Chuan and Lin Hao closely followed behind the two.

The four of them took the elevator to the high-rise area of the company. Huo Yunjiao let go of Qin Ruan’s hand, reminding her, "This will be my office for the next few days, remember."

Qin Ruan nodded, "I know."

Huo Yunjiao turned to Huo Chuan, instructing, "Take Madam to tour the company’s exhibit area, then go to the shooting range. Be sure to pay attention to safety."

"Yes, Master Huo," Huo Chuan slightly bowed.

Huo Yunjiao cast a worried glance at Qin Ruan, admonishing once again, "Don’t hurt yourself, come back when you’re done playing."

Qin Ruan nodded impatiently in agreement, she then promptly instructed Huo Chuan to take the lead.

Lin Hao also began to follow, his movements completely natural.

Watching his departing figure, Master Huo’s voice echoed, "Lin Hao, you stay."

Lin Hao halted, Qin Ruan, who was already a few meters away, also stopped and turned back.

Huo Yunjiao smiled at Qin Ruan, "I need to ask him a few questions, I’ll let him join you in a bit."

Qin Ruan nodded, not asking much, "Alright."

Lin Hao watched as Qin Ruan and Huo Chuan left in the elevator before turning back.

Despite being possessed by Puppet last night, his face was still a bit pale, he looked sleep-deprived, as if he’d been drained by a woman.

Master Huo let out a meaningful glance, his cold voice echoed, "Come in with me."

His voice was icy cold, lacking all the gentleness he had in front of Qin Ruan.

Lin Hao felt a headache, he felt something was wrong.

Huo Yunjiao had already entered the Chairman’s office, Lin Hao comforted himself before stepping into the office after preparing himself.

As soon as Master Huo entered the office, Huo Yirong’s secretary immediately delivered the documents to be processed that day.

Huo Yunjiao sat in front of his desk, aimlessly flipping through the stack of documents, telling the secretary, "You can leave."

His tone was cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

At that moment, Master Huo had once again assumed his superior demeanor, one that elevated him above others, except when he was with his family and Qin Ruan.

"Yes, Master."

The secretary, serious and tense, cautiously left the room.

The door closed, and Huo Yunjiao looked up, his icy and deep gaze fell upon Lin Hao.

His sexy thin lips moved, "Heard about yesterday’s incident?"

Lin Hao, maintaining a straight posture, replied softly, "I know some of it."

Huo Yunjiao curled the corner of his lips into a detached smile, "Lin Hao, you should thank Ruanruan for saving your life."

Lin Hao bowed his head, "I will never forget the kindness of the Madam who saved me."

"I don’t need your verbal promises."

"Yes, I will prove my loyalty to the Madam with actions."

"You better do."

Huo Yunjiao browsed through the file in his hand and quickly signed his name.

He spoke without raising his head, "Ruanruan is rather softhearted, she has been kind to you out of respect for past relations, but don’t expect the same from the Huo Family. Your relationship with the Huo Family is mutual. Neither owes the other."

Lin Hao pursed his lips and simply replied, "Yes."

Three years ago, had he not voluntarily lured Su Jingshu, and been forcibly taken away by him, the Huo Family would not have found him.

Of course, while he was working for the Huo Family, they had provided him with significant protection.

The Su Family’s affairs were too complicated. Without the various information provided by the Huo Family, it would have been impossible for him to survive till now.

Huo Yunjiao closed the signed document, and casually placed it aside.

He fiddled with the pen in his hand, his movements fluent and elegant.

His slightly drooping eyes stared at the edge of the file on the table, his face deep in thought.

After a while, he looked up at Lin Hao. His eyes were as cold as ice, as if looking at an insignificant ant.

"Lin Hao, I’ll give you two choices. Leave the country, the Huo Family will arrange the safest place for you and provide you with enough money that you won’t spend in your lifetime. No one will bother you anymore."

It had to be said, this offer was indeed tempting.

Back then, what Lin Hao had yearned for in West City was a peaceful life.

He looked up, staring at Master Huo’s calm demeanor, "And the second?"

Huo Yunjiao’s handsome face showed a faint displeasure, he said solemnly, "Stay by the side of the Madam, prioritize her above everything else. If she suffers the slightest harm, you will pay the price."

Lin Hao replied without hesitation, "I’ll stay by the Madam’s side."

The peaceful life he had yearned for in the past now seemed far out of reach.

Imagine, living out his life like an ordinary person in a foreign country, always felt like something was missing.

He was not content with such a bland life, nor did he want to go overseas.

Years of struggle had made him well adapted.

A peaceful life and a sense of security are two different things.

He would, without hesitation, choose a familiar life with the Huo Family over a scheduled tranquil life overseas.

Huo Yunjiao’s eyebrows slightly knitted, his icy eyes were profound.

He actually hoped more that Lin Hao would choose to leave.

"Take good care of Ruanruan in the future, go find her."

"Yes, Master."

Lin Hao respectfully bowed his head and slowly exited the office.

Just as the office door opened, Master Huo’s voice rose again.

"Lin Hao, the Huo Family has never retained a potential danger. I hope you will never betray us. Your family is living a peaceful life, you wouldn’t want them to suffer, would you?"

Lin Hao’s hand on the office door tightened, the veins on the back of his hand stood out in fright.

He turned his head, looking at the noble man who was engrossed in his documents, "What’s Master talking about? I’ve been an orphan since childhood, I don’t have a family."

Master Huo, without lifting his head, replied coldly, "You have been alone for so many years, you know yourself better than anyone."

Lin Hao’s lips tightened, his face tense.

The atmosphere of the office suddenly froze, Lin Hao could hear his own nervous breathing.

After a long while, he promised, "Master, rest assured, I will not betray the Huo Family nor the Madam."

Huo Yunjiao glanced at Lin Hao, "I hope so."

His tone was indifferent, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

As if Lin Hao’s promises were trivial matters, simply fulfilling a formality.

The spacious and luxurious office fell silent. Lin Hao stood at the door and waited for a while, unable to receive a bit of guidance from Master Huo.

He bowed to the man sitting at the desk, whose eyes and expression were cold and aloof, who exuded an aura of keeping strangers at a distance, "Master, I will take my leave."

"Go, take good care of the Madam. She is quite mischievous, don’t let her get hurt."

"Yes."

Lin Hao left the office, standing at the door, he took a deep breath.

Master Huo’s words, and the oppressive air around him, left him feeling anxious and uneasy.

In his many years in West City, no one knew that he had a family.

Even the Su Family had not discovered it. The truth he had hidden for so many years was known to the Huo Family all along.

Thinking about his family, Lin Hao rubbed his face roughly.

The power and terrifying capabilities of the Huo Family put a lot of pressure on him.

Was he now in a situation where he’d shot himself in the foot?
