Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Ruanruan is targeted, Third Master calls late at night

Rong Menglan tapped his fingers rhythmically on the steering wheel, a thoughtful expression crossing his face.

The fact that his cousin and his son knew Madam Huo was a surprise to him. If hadn’t been for today’s visit to Zhenpin Pavilion, he might not have found out about this for quite a while.

This should be seen as a further development in the relationship between the Rong Family and the Huo Family.

Rong Menglan broke the silence, whispering to his stunned cousin, "Your acquaintance with Madam Huo can only be beneficial for the Rong Family."

Rong Jing wore a desolate look on his face. "Cousin, did I make a fool of myself just now?"

He looked on the verge of tears.

Rong Menglan looked at him curiously. "Hm?"

Rong Jing buried his face in his hands, rubbing his eyes aggressively.

With great difficulty, he croaked, "Wasn’t I stupid, telling Qin Ruan not to offend the Aristocratic Families? Did I look foolish?"

In the face of his cousin’s desperate plea for comfort, Rong Menglan burst out laughing.

His eyes were filled with mirth, his voice gentle, "Yes, you were quite foolish."

"Aaahh... I can’t live with this shame!"

Rong Jing covered his face, leaning against the front of the car, ashamed of his own stupidity.

Rong Menglan watched his cousin’s humiliation, his laughter continuing unabated.

Not only did he not comfort Rong Jing, he even cheerfully drove away, leaving his cousin behind with resentment building in his heart.

...

Qin Ruan had been waiting in the car for nearly half an hour when Lin Hao and the others finally showed up.

A luxurious car parked at the entrance of Zhenpin Pavilion rolled down its backseat window.

Qin Ruan’s delicate, expressionless face came into view.

Her gaze swept over the approaching group, her cool and composed voice rang out, "Is everything taken care of?"

Lin Hao approached, a jovial smile lighting up his face, "Of course, rest assured, those bastards will be in pain from head to toe for the next three months. They’ll learn what it means to ’suffer unseen wounds’."

He’d been hands-off for years, almost forgetting how capable he once was.

He’d been itching to try his hand again, and after today’s events, it seemed he hadn’t lost his touch.

Qin Ruan looked at his excited state, a barely noticeable smirk tugged at her lips, "Get in the car, let’s go."

"Sure thing!"

Lin Hao opened the passenger door and got in.

The rest of the Huo Family’s hidden guards also dispersed to their respective vehicles.

The showy convoy made a quick departure from Zhenpin Pavilion.

At the same time, Nangong Chang was informed that Xiao Yujie intended to break Josh’s legs at Zhenpin Pavilion tonight.

The plans had been otherwise progressing smoothly until Qin Ruan’s intervention.

Not only did she deter Xiao Yujie, but she also attacked several guests at Zhenpin Pavilion.

While the identities of the victims were inconsequential, what was of greater concern to Nangong Chang was Qin Ruan’s audacious behavior at the Pavilion.

It seemed to him that she was brazenly stepping on the dignity of the Nangong family, intimidating everyone present.

Nangong Chang, now at home, hung up the phone with the Pavilion manager.

His face darkened, a sinister gleam flashed in his eyes, his body exuded an excited, bloodthirsty atmosphere.

Qin Ruan, that woman was pretty capable.

Just as Huo had stepped out, she made her move.

He had to admit, she was becoming more and more attractive to him.

Her guts and temperament seemed to suit his teaching style perfectly.

"Young Master, please give me some attention."

Sitting in his chair, Nangong Chang watched as a dark-haired woman clambered onto his lap.

The woman with cat-ear accessories stared seductively at Nangong Chang.

The desire in her eyes was evident, her lips pursed, she resembled a feline creature.

Like a cat seeking their master’s caress, it was almost impossible for anyone to resist.

Anticipation sparked in Nangong Chang’s eyes as he regarded the woman below him, overlayed with a hint of frenzied excitement.

He reached out to stroke her hair, "Baby, I’ll attend to you now..."

His voice was low and husky, filled with bloodthirsty aggression.

The woman giggled and gently bit onto Nangong Chang’s other hand that was caressing her face.

...

Upon returning to the Huo family home, Qin Ruan was unaware that someone was thinking of her.

As soon as she walked in, a Huo family servant brought her a bowl of medicated soup.

"Madam, the temperature of the soup is just right now."

Qin Ruan took the soup and drank it all at once, also biting into the meat in the soup.

Chewing on the nourishing meat, she passed the empty bowl back to the servant. Then, she hurried upstairs.

Once back in her room, Qin Ruan’s first action was to take off her clothes reeking of the smell of tobacco, alcohol, and various perfumes.

She rushed into the bathroom, taking the quickest shower before walking out in her comfortable loungewear.

With her fatigue washed away, Qin Ruan gently rubbed her ever-expanding belly as she reclined on her bed, letting out a sigh of relief.

This bed is just so comfortable!

Her body and mind felt soothed, and Qin Ruan cracked a satisfying smile.

Just a few minutes after she lay down, drowsiness set in.

The screen of the phone that Qin Ruan had placed beside her bed lit up.

After entering the house, Qin Ruan had silenced her phone, even turning off the vibration.

The display showed an incoming call from Grandfather, who was in the US.

The phone’s screen remained illuminated for a while until the call automatically ended and the room once again fell to dimness.

...

At the Qin house.

Qin Mei, who was sprawling on the bed, was also sleeping soundly.

His sleeping posture was exactly the same as Qin Ruan’s, who was also sprawling in her bed in the Huo residence.

Since Qin Ruan was pregnant, she would sleep on her side to avoid exertion and would even subconsciously protect her belly with her hand.

Qin Mei, a man, also slept in the same position as Qin Ruan.

His posture, lying on the side with a hand around his flat belly, appeared somewhat strange.

Anyone would find this confusing and, in a way, amusingly odd.

It was very quiet in the Qin house.

At this hour, Qin Anguo and Qin Jingcen were all deeply asleep in their rooms.

The best sleeper in the house was Qin Mei, who could sleep through anything.

And yet, that night, his sleep seemed restless as noises kept disturbing his ears.

"Meow..."

"Meow, meow..."

The sound got louder, and Qin Mei, who was lying on the bed, rolled over, changing his odd sleeping posture.

His long legs were sprawled casually, body flat on the mattress. An expression of impatience flashed across his face as his sleep was constantly disrupted.

"Meow, meow, meow..."

The sound was getting clearer.

Qin Mei made a groaning noise and rolled again, this time lying on his side facing the other direction.

Even while turning, he pressed the pillow against his ear.

It was obvious that he was about to wake up from the noise.

Outside his bedroom window, a white figure flickered by.

There was nothing to stand on outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Anyone seeing it would assume it was an illusion.

However, that white figure appeared again soon.

Instead of vanishing right away, it hovered in mid-air this time.

In its bright green eyes, its vertical pupils were as cold as a snake’s, inducing a shiver in anyone who saw them.

The phantom stared intently at everything in the bedroom. Then, it disappeared abruptly once again, vanishing into thin air.

Qin Mei, who was lying on the bed, knew nothing of this; his eyes were tightly shut.

"Meow... meow, meow..."

"Meow, meow, meow..."

The sound by his ears began to speed up, and even with a pillow blocking his ears, Qin Mei could still hear it.
