Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Mr. Huo fell ill, went to Champs Elysees Manor

Huo Yunjiao reached out and gently touched Qin Ruan’s belly, his lips curled up in a smile.

His handsome face was softened with a fatherly grin, eyes twinkled with anticipation, "It must be a girl. It would be even better if both of them were girls."

"No!" Qin Ruan denied. "One of them is a boy."

Her tone was firm and adamant.

Huo Yunjiao looked at her, reading her determined expression.

He intuitively felt that something was off about her emotions, as if she knew a secret he didn’t.

Humor glinted in his eyes, his voice was playfully teasing, "Are you that sure?"

Qin Ruan nodded fiercely, "There’s definitely a boy."

Her eyes were lowered, her fingers tenderly tracing her swelling belly.

The child she failed to protect in her past life was a boy. How could he not be here now?

Qin Ruan couldn’t fathom the idea that the child from the past life did not come back to her in this life.

Whenever this thought crossed her mind, her heart ached.

When Huo Yunjiao noticed her discomfort, he embraced her and soothed, "Okay, okay, it’s a boy. Ruanruan likes boys, it would also be fine if both of them were boys."

"One of them is definitely a boy, but I’m not sure about the other."

Qin Ruan, leaning on Huo Yunjiao’s shoulder, murmured weakly.

She had a fixation deep in her heart that she could not share with him about her past life.

Huo Yunjiao murmured affectionately in her ear, "As long as it’s our child, I will love him."

Her eyes were tinged pink.

Murmuring to herself, she also love.

...

The Su Family.

Upon hearing that the Huo family had launched an A-level initiative against the Nangong family, Su Jingshu immediately sent people to fetch her father who was attending a meeting in the cabinet.

Her voice was solemn, "Is Mr. Long ill?"

Her subordinate bowed respectfully, "Yes, the Cabinet has called for an emergency meeting. All members of the four families and six aristocratic families have been summoned. The Lu Family arrived first."

Su Jingshu’s face fell into deep thought.

After a moment, she spoke in a solemn tone, "Call all members of the Su family and go to the Nangong family immediately!"

Mr. Long was seriously ill, and the Huo family initiated an A-level action at this time.

The Lu family arrived at the cabinet ahead of other families, which indicated that they were the first family to be notified.

It also implied that one of the four families would be chosen to ascend to power at this cabinet meeting.

The Long family stepped back, Huo Junxin of the Huo family lacked seniority, and the Gu family had not had much interaction with the Huo family recently.

Only the Lu family was most likely to ascend to power.

Their men showed concern, "Miss, should we wait for Mr. Bei?"

Su Jingshu’s eyes were sharp as a blade, "Where is Bei Jinzhou?"

"Mr. Bei is on his way."

Su Jingshu clenched her fists, her voice heavy, "No need to wait, go to the Nangong family first, tell Father to come back immediately!"

She picked up the coat from the sofa and strode out of the room.

Before she left, she gave an imperative order, "Move out immediately!"

"Yes!"

By the time Bei Jinzhou arrived, Su Jingshu had already left with several members to the Nangong family.

Upon hearing the news, his handsome face turned grim.

He knew exactly who Su Jingshu was rushing to Nangong’s family for.

Nangong Chang was the obstacle that Su Jingshu couldn’t overcome.

Whenever this man was involved, she lost all calm and reason.

Bei Jinzhou inhaled deeply, turned around and left to chase after Su Jingshu.

Nangong family’s fate was sealed.

The Su family getting involved at this point was futile.

It even posed a risk to the Su family’s future standing in the Capital City.

...

The Huo Family.

When Huo Yunjiao and Qin Ruan returned home, they went their separate ways.

As soon as Qin Ruan entered the door, a wave of nausea hit her.

She stayed in the bathroom downstairs for half an hour.

When she came out, her face was quite pale.

Huo Yunjiao looked at her pale, blood-drained face, and his eyes revealed his distress.

He assisted Qin Ruan upstairs and had Lin Hao follow to escort her back to her room, while he himself went to the study.

Huo Yunjiao’s steps were graceful yet hurried, lacking the usual calm and collected demeanour.

The door to the study was pushed open, and he strode in.

"Bang!"

As the door to the study was closed by Huo Yunjiao from the inside, a pained cry was heard.

A sweet, metallic taste welled up in his mouth and a mouthful of blood sprayed out from Huo Yunjiao’s lips.

His vision blurred, and his surroundings turned into nothingness.

Huo Yunjiao covered his mouth with his hand.

Bright red blood seeped through his slender fingers.

Moving his hand away, his blood-stained visage filled his sight.

Huo Yunjiao’s handsome face lost its colour and turned pale.

His lips, stained with blood, quivered slightly.

Previously at the Nangong Family’s home, he had felt somewhat unwell.

He was emotionally agitated, weak throughout, his heart stopped abruptly, and his vision became blurry.

He didn’t realise then that these were signs of the onset of his illness.

He thought it was residual symptoms of anger and turmoil.

On the way home and upon close contact with Qin Ruan, these symptoms became increasingly apparent. Only then did Huo Yunjiao realise something was amiss.

He was having an attack.

He lost control of his emotions and anger, and spent close quarters with Qin Ruan.

Both triggers made him endure until now.

Huo Yunjiao leaned against the door, wiping the blood from his lips.

He forced himself to walk slowly to the desk and sat down on the chair. His body completely relaxed.

His vision slightly returned, and Huo Yunjiao regained the usual calm and composure.

Aside from an overly pale face, and a red colour adorning his lips as bright as cinnabar, everything else seemed perfectly normal.

Only Huo Yunjiao himself knew how weak he was at that moment.

He reclined in the chair, a glimmer flickering in his deep eyes.

When he first met Qin Ruan, he was already experiencing an onset of his illness. He was weak, his heart stopped abruptly, and his vision became blurry.

Even though he wasn’t drunk, he couldn’t control his desire to get close to her.

It was as if Qin Ruan had a fatal attraction, and his body, mind, and soul couldn’t resist wanting to approach her.

This led to the reasonable yet mistaken incident that happened at the Imperial Court Hotel.

"Knock-knock-"

Someone was knocking at the study door.

"Third Master?"

Huo Qiang’s calm voice resonated outside the door.

Huo Yunjiao was too weak to speak, even talking felt like it consumed his energy.

He reached to press the button on the table.

The tightly shut study door automatically opened.

Huo Qiang caught a whiff of the faint scent of blood pervading the room and hastened in.

"Third Master, are you alright?"

Huo Qiang’s expression was anxious, worry spilling from his eyes.

Huo Yunjiao’s gaze was steady, looking at him with a calm demeanour.

"How did you get here?"

Huo Qiang didn’t hide it: "Lin Hao informed me that something seemed off with you."

The Third Master’s eyes were a bit hazy. His usually lightly colored lips were now brightened with a vibrant colour from the spew of blood.

His lips slowly curled, exuding an elusive sense of allure.

At this moment, as a Vampire of the Rasambo Family, he was elegant, noble, and the tantalizing smile on his lips exuded a sense of cruelty and decadence.

Huo Yunjiao’s tone was mockingly sarcastic: "He’s indeed very observant."

Previously, he had tried his best to hide and control himself from Qin Ruan, and she had not noticed anything.

Now it had been unintentionally discovered by Lin Hao.

Huo Qiang: "Third Master, shall we call Master Ling Xuzi?"

"No need."

Huo Yunjiao’s voice was low and weak: "Prepare the carriage, we’re going to Champs Elysees Manor."
