Chapter 541: Chapter 541: The Gentle and Affectionate Third Master Huo Belongs to Ruanruan

Qin Ruan patted Huo Yunjiao’s back, "Third Master, I haven’t been bullied by Nangong Chang. It’s just that I don’t feel quite right about this man."

What she didn’t mention was Nangong Chang’s gaze.

It was eerie, ominous, filled with a revolting intensity.

Huo Yunjiao nuzzled his chin on top of Qin Ruan’s head, whispering softly, "Relax, you won’t see him around soon."

His voice was gentle as water, his dark eyes flickering with a dangerous, cold menace.

"Hmm?"

Qin Ruan looked up, uncertainty flickering in her eyes.

Huo Yunjiao’s menacing gaze softened, his handsome face lighting up with a gentle smile.

He whispered, "You’ll find out soon enough."

Qin Ruan nodded, seemingly understanding yet not quite. She watched as the beastly sparkle in Third Master’s eyes receded.

Seizing the opportunity, she unclasped herself from his embrace and once again placed her hand on her stomach.

Her body was growing heavier each day and could not handle any disturbances.

Qin Ruan spoke again, "Third Master, I’m hungry."

"Get up, wash up, we’ll go downstairs for a meal, after which I need to go out for a short errand."

Huo Yunjiao’s voice was as gentle as it was firm, an unquestionable command.

Qin Ruan obediently nodded, "Okay."

Huo Yunjiao released his arm from around her. She hurriedly got off the bed, leaving his embrace.

Sitting by the bed, the Third Master watches her hurried retreat, a faint smile playing in his eyes.

Qin Ruan quickly showered and changed into comfortable casual clothes.

While she was getting ready, Huo Yunjiao had already changed into a well-tailored, handmade suit.

Today, he even wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, an unusual sight.

Most often, Huo Yunjiao would only wear glasses when he was working.

Upon exiting the dressing room, she crossed paths with Huo Yunjiao, who was also about to leave the room and was adjusting his glasses.

His graceful yet enticing movement while adjusting his glasses caught her attention.

The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose added an genteel air to his aura, concealing the cold indifference in his eyes and making him seem even more like a refined and considerate gentleman.

The Third Master orchestrates an air of elegance and sophistication, infused with a rich literary aura.

Upon seeing Qin Ruan emerge from the dressing room, a gentle smile spread across Huo Yunjiao’s face.

He said to Qin Ruan in a warm voice, "You go downstairs for a meal first, I need to drop by the study."

"Understood." Qin Ruan obediently nodded.

She couldn’t quite conceal the astonishment in her eyes.

The Third Master, leaving with a wicked smile playing at the corners of his mouth, seemed to be in a good mood.

Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, collecting herself from the Third Master’s stunning appearance.

She felt that something was off.

While the Third Master outwardly appeared calm, there was an unseen killing intent about him, which she could easily perceive.

At that moment, Qin Ruan’s stomach grumbled.

She stopped guessing Huo Yunjiao’s intentions and left the bedroom to go downstairs for a meal.

No matter what his intentions, he would never harm her or their child. That was more than enough assurance for her.

Upon reaching downstairs, she saw Qin Mei and Josh huddled together.

They were sitting on the sofa with an arrogant white cat sitting between them.

Xueqiu, under their intense gaze, lifted its chin, exuding an air of arrogance as if saying it had no interest in their company.

"Wait, how long has it been since I last saw you, and you’re already keeping a cat? You don’t seem like a person who’s very caring."

Josh leaned his chin on one hand, eyeing Xueqiu intently.

There was a certain possessiveness in his gaze, as if he wanted to claim Xueqiu for himself.

Qin Mei was lazily reclining on the sofa.

He stroked the soft fur on Xueqiu’s back, looking somewhat listless, "I have a soft spot for creatures, but unfortunately not this one. This fellow played me to take it in."

Josh’s eyes lit up, "So, you’re saying you don’t want to keep it?"

Qin Mei glanced sideways at Josh.

He saw the covetousness in Josh’s eyes for Xueqiu.

Qin Mei removed his hand from Xueqiu and said to Josh with a half-smile, "You want him? Just take him."

Upon hearing this, Josh reached out to Xueqiu without hesitation.

Just as his hand was about to touch Xueqiu, the latter moved.

The snow-white, fluffy paw reached out and scratched the back of Josh’s hand.

"Meow!"

After scratching Josh, Xueqiu let out a protest meow.

This was a protest directed at Qin Mei.

"Hiss! The little guy is pretty fierce!"

Having been scratched, Josh quickly withdrew his hand.

He frowned at Xueqiu, a feeling of defeat in his eyes.

Xueqiu held his head high and glared at Qin Mei, clearly favoring him.

This cute little thing was attached to Qin Mei, and Josh’s face puffed up in anger.

Josh liked Xueqiu, who looked beautiful and clean.

Josh stood up, squatted in front of Xueqiu and pointed at Qin Mei to tempt him, "Little fellow, this guy doesn’t want you anymore, come with me. I’ll give you nice things to eat and play every day. I promise I’m better than this heartless guy who easily gives up on you."

"Meow!!"

Xueqiu bared his teeth and yelled at Josh in anger.

Josh looked up at Qin Mei, "Have you been raising this cat for a long time?"

Qin Mei replied mockingly, "I swear to the heavens and the earth, I’ve only had it for a few days."

If he could, he wouldn’t keep it for a day.

Josh was upset, "Then why does it only recognize you?"

Qin Mei rolled his eyes, "As I told you, this cat is playing a trick on me."

"I think you’re the one playing tricks on me!"

Josh didn’t believe Qin Mei’s nonsense.

Cats, other than dogs, are the animals closest to humans, yet they’re different from dogs.

It’s hard to establish a close relationship with a cat, as they are born to love freedom and appear lofty, unlike dogs who are clingy.

To domesticate a cat, it takes a lot of time.

This white cat in front of him looks cold and majestic, and even seems to possess spiritual characteristics.

From its behaviors and attitudes, Josh could see it only recognized Qin Mei.

Such a relationship can’t be built in a short period.

"Believe it or not!" Qin Mei didn’t bother to argue this point.

Xueqiu was playing tricks on him, which was a fact.

The fact that this fellow had a bad temper was also true.

Xueqiu was now scratching his trousers with its claws.

To save his trousers from getting damaged, Qin Mei resignedly hugged Xueqiu in his arms.

"Alright, alright. You’re acting so big. If you ruin these trousers, I’ll be left with no clothes."

"That wouldn’t be necessary. The Huo Family wouldn’t begrudge a pair of trousers for you."

Qin Ruan laughed gently as she walked over to them.

At the sound of her voice, Josh, who had just sat down, jumped up reflexively.

He turned toward Qin Ruan and obediently called out, "Cousin-in-law!"

The sound was so loud it sounded like a primary school student greeting their teacher.

This behavior drew Qin Mei’s attention, he looked puzzled.

Qin Ruan smiled as she sized up Josh, "I heard you wouldn’t be back until the day after tomorrow?"

Josh also felt his behavior appeared somewhat strange.

He rubbed the back of his head uncomfortably, "My maternal grandfather sent someone to West City to pick me up yesterday. He said it isn’t safe lately in the Capital City and asked me to stay at home."

"Unsafe?" Qin Ruan murmured to herself.

Why would Capital City be unsafe recently?

And what would that have to do with the third master’s early return?
