Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Master San Compromises, He Doesn’t Want to Force Ruanruan

Hu Yixian, his face pale, walked towards the bathroom in the room with both hands covering his wounded stomach.

He stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, an eerie smile suddenly spread on his otherwise unremarkable face.

The joy, fulfillment, and a few bits of satisfaction that accompanied the smile were chilling to anyone who saw it.

"Hiss!"

Without thinking, Hu Yixian had pulled at the wound at the corner of his mouth while laughing.

He pressed his hand to the corner of his lips, a trace of light-red blood smeared on his fingers.

To say that Qin Jingcen was ruthless was not an exaggeration.

Being brothers for so many years, he understood the other man all too well.

Hu Yixian closed the bathroom door, stripped off his clothes, and prepared to take a good bath.

...

Huo Family.

Qin Ruan got out of the car and headed for the house.

She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

She picked up the phone, glanced at it while walking indoors.

The phone vibrated because someone had sent a message on WeChat.

Qin Ruan opened the WeChat group [Emperor Beitai Above] which showed unread messages.

Longevity Sect Wu Fan: [There’s demonic energy in the west, did you guys notice it?]

Looking at the speaker, Qin Ruan recalled that this woman was a wizard who was at odds with Wei Xishi.

Quickly, someone below replied to her.

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [Just a cat demon, no threat.]

Maoshan Ninth Girl: [Cat demon? What’s going on?]

Longevity Sect Wu Fan: [@Qingcheng Wei Xishi/How did you know it’s a cat demon?]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [I passed by here tonight and a murder took place. The owner of the cat demon is dead, and now it’s wailing and making a fuss.]

Last, she added a meme of a maid smoking, looking particularly annoyed.

Maoshan Ninth Girl: [Is it that brutal?]

Qin Ruan, looking down at the messages in the group, suddenly bumped into a meat wall.

Why call it a meat wall? She could feel a warm touch on her forehead.

Looking up, Qin Ruan saw Huo Yunjiao’s handsome, exquisite, and perfect face staring back at her.

"Girl, you’re so engrossed in something, you’re not even watching the road. Aren’t you afraid of falling?"

Huo Yunjiao’s voice was sighing in exasperation.

Qin Ruan no longer paid attention to her phone, pressed the side key to turn off the screen: "Why haven’t you gone to bed yet, Third Master?"

Huo Yunjiao glanced at Huo Chuan who was walking in.

He ordered in a deep voice: "Pack up and come with me to the US tomorrow. Entrust your current affairs to Lin Hao."

"Lin Hao?" Huo Chuan, for once not immediately following orders, inquired doubtfully.

Huo Yunjiao, looking at Qin Ruan’s curious face, said nonchalantly: "Lin Hao has officially become a member of the Huo Family’s hidden guard."

Huo Chuan immediately responded: "I’ll go now!"

With that, he had already turned to leave, his steps hurried.

Being a member of the Huo Family’s hidden guard requires many screenings.

Lin Hao had jumped all these steps and directly became a member of the Huo Family’s hidden guard, which was also quite a feat.

After Huo Chuan had left, Qin Ruan tugged at the gemstone blue pajama of the Third Master.

She asked: "How did Lin Hao become a member of the Huo Family’s hidden guard?"

With his usual genteel air, Huo Yunjiao answered casually: "He needs to stay in the Huo Family, he must have an appropriate identity."

His voice was warm and pleasant, and his speech was at ease.

Somehow, Qin Ruan didn’t find this explanation too convincing.

Seeing his young wife seemingly understanding, Huo Yunjiao pulled her hand and headed upstairs.

He casually said, "I have to leave at dawn tomorrow. While I’m away, Ruanruan, you’ll represent me at the Lu Family’s banquet. The other aristocratic families will be there too. Without me by your side, you must take care of yourself and don’t let anyone bully you."

"Me?"

Qin Ruan, having just stepped on the stairs, suddenly faltered, her body swaying.

Huo Yunjiao reached out to encircle her waist, pulling her close to him: "You’re about to be a mother, stop being so careless."

Qin Ruan placed her hand on his arm to steady herself.

What surprised her was the banquet at the Lu Family. Why did she have to attend?

If Third Master was there, it was understandable. But with him not there, her presence seemed to lack significance.

Qin Ruan voiced out her question, which brought a complicated expression to Huo Yunjiao’s face.

"Ruanruan, after all this time, haven’t you yet accepted your true identity?"

"I know, Lady Huo."

Qin Ruan’s tone didn’t fluctuate much. Her statement was just that, a statement.

Huo Yunjiao’s lips curved upwards slightly, his deep, dark eyes bore into Qin Ruan, as if trying to absorb her.

For some reason, Qin Ruan had the feeling that he was upset.

Although he still had his gentle expression, Qin Ruan felt a chill running through her body.

It was as if she had said something wrong and upset him.

Huo Yunjiao extended his hand to Qin Ruan.

It was merely a gesture, but Qin Ruan, sensing danger, deftly pulled away from his embrace.

Her gaze was wary as she watched Huo Yunjiao, spotting the surprise on his face.

"Ruanruan?" Huo Yunjiao called her name gently.

Qin Ruan subconsciously licked her lips and scratched her back: "I suddenly felt a itch."

What a lousy excuse.

Huo Yunjiao didn’t expect Qin Ruan to be so sensitive.

He had been slightly irritated, due to her not fully accepting her identity.

She was Lady Huo, the future matriarch of the Huo Family.

Even if he was gone one day, as long as Qin Ruan didn’t leave the Huo Family, she would forever be the mistress of the Huo household.

His trip to the US this time was also meant to polish Qin Ruan’s experience, helping her slowly connect with members of the four major families and six aristocracies, as well as outstanding individuals and influencers from all walks of life.

Qin Ruan might be young, but with her daring and shrewdness, she should be able to make waves in this circle in just a few years.

With the support of the Huo Family, no one would dare to trouble her openly.

He was paving the way for Qin Ruan, but she was still in the phase of keeping her distance from him.

This made Huo Yunjiao feel frustrated and slightly upset.

Of course, this displeasure was not directed at Qin Ruan.

He was annoyed with himself.

It was right for the girl to be sensitive, alert, and to have a high degree of self-preservation.

He couldn’t understand where he went wrong in their few months of acquaintance that made her seemingly closer yet increasingly distant to him.

Huo Yunjiao watched Qin Ruan’s frantic departure, his face returning to its calm demeanor, his sensual lips curving into a soft arc.

He stepped forward, gently touched Qin Ruan’s soft hair, his voice was unusually gentle, "Ruanruan, you are my wife, and you will be the future mistress of the Huo Family. It’s normal for you to attend the Lu Family’s banquet on my behalf when I’m absent."

Qin Ruan didn’t respond, she looked down, her gaze landing on his other hand resting by his side.

His hand was white and slender. It was beautiful.

Such graceful hands, most suitable for playing piano fluidly, must have an unspeakable charm.

As for his words, they didn’t cause any emotional waves in Qin Ruan.

The mistress of the Huo Family?

Her mother’s family, the Qin Family, had low status. She also had little to no say in the Huo Family.

Even if she had remarkable talents, it would take more than a few words to make people submit to her.

Qin Ruan would bet that many were watching the Huo Family right now, none of them fancy her chances.

Their attention to her was simply because of the Huo Family.

Who knows how many people were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, or to see her kicked out by the Huo Family.

Call her selfish, call her unfit for the task, it didn’t matter.

She never thought of becoming the matriarch of the Huo Family.

Her child, her life, her family, and her husband, are all she cares about right now.

As for those intrigues and conspiracies, she didn’t want to get involved.

The Huo Family was not just hers alone. There was also Huo Junxin’s wife, Long Wei from the Long Family. Compared to her, Long Wei was more qualified to be the mistress of the Huo Family.

While Qin Ruan was lost in her deep thoughts, Huo Yunjiao sighed softly.

He had said so much, but she hadn’t heard a word.

"If you don’t want to go, then don’t."

Huo Yunjiao conceded. He wouldn’t force Qin Ruan to do anything she wasn’t willing to.

There was still plenty of time in the future. Perhaps when she’s more mature, she might start showing interest in these matters.

Deep down, Huo Yunjiao still believed that Qin Ruan was a child at heart, who was at an age of wanting to play.

Huo Yunjiao took Qin Ruan’s hand and continued heading upstairs.

Upon entering the bedroom, Qin Ruan immediately noticed the luxury high-end dress hanging in the middle of the room.

Seeing her mesmerized by the dress, Huo Yunjiao’s lips curved into a smile. He gentled whispered in her ear, "This is for you."
