Chapter 435: Chapter 435: I am very willing to serve Madam

If he had chosen to leave just now, would the old man have refrained from mentioning his family?

Of course, he harbored no thoughts of betraying the Huo family, his fear was his own family becoming collateral damage due to him.

At this moment, the secretary once again walked in with a stack of documents.

Lin Hao’s face, initially pale and filled with concern, instantaneously returned to its usual expressionless state. He walked away, passing by the secretary.

...

HEA Group occupied a million square meters, making it one of the largest businesses in the Capital City in terms of physical size.

Underneath the main office building was a training base. On the outside, it didn’t seem like much, but its inner area was quite large, showcasing a cool, harsh style in every detail of its design.

After asking the staff, Lin Hao found the shooting range where Qin Ruan and Huo Chuan were.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Before he even opened the door, he heard the dull sounds of gunshots from inside.

Lin Hao gently pushed open the door, the scene within instantly unveiled before his eyes.

In the vast shooting range, Qin Ruan was fully armed, holding the latest weapon, solemnly focusing on her target.

The once stationary target was soon set in motion.

Qin Ruan, with her eyes narrowed behind protective goggles, followed the moving target. Her trigger finger moved swiftly.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two gunshots rang out, and Qin Ruan suddenly bent slightly at the waist.

"Madam!"

"Xiaowu!"

Huo Chuan, who had been standing next to Qin Ruan, and Lin Hao, who had been about to approach, shouted in unison with a hint of panic.

Qin Ruan clutched her lower abdomen, feeling the fluttering movement of the baby inside her, and the inside of her arm was slightly hot.

The hand that had held the gun now lifted her sleeve.

The red line on the inner side of her arm was more than half as short as when she was reborn.

Qin Ruan’s eyebrows furrowed together, her expression extremely grave.

The red line had some connection to her, and now her life span was actually less than half a year!

"Madam, are you alright?"

Huo Chuan, holding Qin Ruan’s arm, saw her change in complexion and asked with a hint of unease in his tone.

"I’m fine."

Qin Ruan lowered her sleeve and handed him the gun.

She took off her protective goggles and equipment, her face filled with worry.

Why is her life span only half a year left? Why is the baby suddenly restless in her womb? Could it be because she is low on Evil Qi?

Recent days, she had not collected a lot of Evil Qi, yet also not a little of it, which should at least account for a few months.

The recent changes on the red line made Qin Ruan feel uneasy.

The baby absolutely mustn’t have any problems at this time.

She urgently needed more Evil Qi to prolong her life!

For some reason, she suddenly thought of the old man.

Qin Ruan glanced up, her gaze swept over Lin Hao’s face, asking him, "What is the old man doing?"

Lin Hao’s pale face was filled with worry,"You’re sure you’re fine?"

Qin Ruan’s eyes were deep, she didn’t respond vocally, her expression stubborn.

In a quiet voice, Lin Hao said, "When I came down, the old man was dealing with the pile of documents back at the company."

On the side, Huo Chuan suggested, "The Madam doesn’t look well, why not go upstairs and rest for a while?"

"Sure!"

Taking a deep breath, Qin Ruan agreed.

Upstairs, in the office.

With the assistance of his elder brother’s secretary, Huo Yunjiao was dealing with documents requiring urgent attention.

The office door was pushed open from outside, startling the two people inside.

Huo Yunjiao looked up as Qin Ruan unassumingly walked in, her attention firmly fixed on the sofa as she seemed to ignore everyone else.

"Why didn’t you stay longer downstairs?"

Half-reclining on the sofa, Qin Ruan looked lazily relaxed. "Perhaps the baby doesn’t like it much down there, so I came up."

She stroked her growing belly tenderly, her expression not particularly good.

Compared to her enthusiastic anticipation before going downstairs, her demeanor now contrasted sharply.

Huo Yunjiao dropped the pen in hand and stood, striding over to Qin Ruan.

Sitting next to Qin Ruan, his voice was soft, containing a trace of huskiness: "Did anything bother you?"

Qin Ruan propped up her head with a somewhat disorganized gesture, and the corners of her mouth drew a thin, almost imperceptible smile: "Indeed, our little one has gotten a bit naughty."

Under her slim, dark eyebrows, were captivating enchanting eyes.

Perhaps Qin Ruan was worried about her low Evil Qi and her anxiety caused a hint of redness in her gaze, adding an allure that was too irresistible.

Huo Yunjiao placed his hand by Qin Ruan’s eyes, gently caressing, "You don’t look well."

That touch seemed to alleviate the unease in Qin Ruan’s heart.

She looked relaxed and said calmly, "A good night’s sleep will fix it. You can continue with your work, the old man, you don’t need to care for me."

Huo Yunjiao took his hand away from Qin Ruan’s eyes and softly said, "It’s noisy outside; there’s a rest room in here. Go sleep inside."

"Alright——"

As Qin Ruan got up, Huo Yunjiao stopped her.

He gently stroked Qin Ruan’s petite nose with his fingertips, his eyes brimming with affectionate laughter, "Don’t move, I’ll carry you in."

Under the watchful gazes of the secretary, Huo Chuan and Lin Hao, Huo Yunjiao bent down, stretched out his arms, picked up Qin Ruan horizontally, and walked toward the rest room inside.

The old man did not leave after placing Qin Ruan on the bed in the rest room.

He covered Qin Ruan with a thin blanket, regulated the room temperature, sat at the edge of the bed, his gaze tenderly enveloping her.

"What happened, sweetheart?"

"Huh?" Qin Ruan, deep in her thoughts, looked confused.

Huo Yunjiao’s tone became slightly grave, "Your complexion seems off. Did anything happen?"

Qin Ruan sighed in admiration of his perception and laughed lightly, "There is something, but it’s not a big issue."

Huo Yunjiao examined Qin Ruan closely with a complex look in his eyes, and then, suddenly, he leaned closer to her.

Qin Ruan instinctively wanted to avoid him, but as she looked into his eyes, filled with tenderness and care, she complied.

Huo Yunjiao came even closer; his nose was virtually touching Qin Ruan’s.

If someone were to open the door at this moment, from their perspective, it would look as if the two were kissing.

Qin Ruan squinted her eyes, seeing the unfathomable depth in the old man’s gaze and his gentle expression made her blush. Her eyes flitted away, unwilling to meet his piercing stare.

Their pose... it was too intimate.

So intimate that Qin Ruan had a thought.

It seemed as if the old man had carried her into the rest room, simply because he couldn’t wait to rip her in half.

Thinking of some past ambiguous memories, Qin Ruan’s voice was slightly awkward, laced with a sense of anxiety, "Old man, this is the office."

Huo Yunjiao chuckled but didn’t speak. He gently stroked Qin Ruan’s long black hair with his large palm.

If he were to lower his head just a bit more, his lips would touch the corner of Qin Ruan’s mouth.

A charming tenderness emanated from Huo Yunjiao’s peach blossom eyes, "Dear, you can have your little secrets.

But I hope for your sake and the baby’s, you won’t let anything come before you. If there’s something you can’t solve, you can tell me. I’m very willing to help."

Just a gut feeling made him think that Qin Ruan’s mood was off. It felt as if she was dealing with some thorny issue and was bothered by not being able to solve it.

Qin Ruan’s tense heart was gently soothed and immediately calmed down, softening instantly.

She pressed her reddened lips together and slowly looked up.

In her sight appeared the old man’s remarkably handsome features, noble and elegant, reminiscent of a god.

His deeply tranquil eyes were as calm as still water. His smiling face caused the tender affection radiating off him to be intoxicating.

This was a tender and romantic gentleman who was speaking to her in an affectionate and soft voice, a scene that no woman could resist.
