Chapter 560: Chapter 560: The Madam is too weak and needs to be carefully taken care of

Qin Ruan went downstairs and saw Huo Qiang and Lin Hao sitting in the hall.

She pulled at her homely pajamas, softly asking, "Why haven’t you guys rest yet?"

Huo Qiang stood up and respectfully bowed, "Madam, the third master came back overnight. His body might be unwell, so we might rest a bit later."

The light in Qin Ruan’s eyes flickered slightly: "Why did the third master come back all of a sudden?"

Huo Qiang shook his head to show he didn’t know.

But his gaze fell on Lin Hao who was standing beside him.

Qin Ruan followed his gaze to Lin Hao.

The latter lowered his head, "The third master called. Knowing that you did not have dinner, he asked the kitchen to prepare some new meals, stating that he would rush back as soon as possible."

"Was this minor issue worth disturbing the third master for?"

Qin Ruan frowned, her face not looking too good.

Indeed, she was a bit upset when the third master left, but she would not torment him over this matter.

Though he was clearly unwell, he still remembered that she had not eaten dinner and rushed back overnight regardless of his own health.

Lin Hao only answered truthfully. He knew that Qin Ruan was concerned about the third master and was venting her anger on him.

He quietly said with a small smile, "Madam, after falling asleep, you kept calling for the third master. It was as if you were possessed."

Qin Ruan blinked, her face showing surprise, "Did this happen?"

Lin Hao did not seem like he was lying.

She did not want to admit this.

Lin Hao nodded, "The servant was afraid that you would be hungry, so he went upstairs to check and heard you calling the third master."

"Ahem..."

Qin Ruan coughed lowly, stopped talking about this subject, and turned to walk towards the dining room.

To anyone who did not know better, it seemed like her feelings for the third master were deep-rooted.

Due to Lin Hao’s misdirection, Qin Ruan believed the third master rushed back in the middle of the night because she had not eaten dinner and was calling his name in her sleep.

She had no idea that it was Lin Hao who put this notion in her head.

After Qin Ruan walked into the dining room, Huo Qiang watched Lin Hao with a complex expression.

When Lin Hao felt uncomfortable under his gaze, he slowly gave a thumbs-up.

It had to be said, Lin Hao’s approach was not bad.

The servants had already laid out the meal on the table when they saw Qin Ruan coming downstairs.

It was already late at night.

All the dishes on the table were easy to digest.

Of course, the daily medicinal soup that the servants prepared with variety for Qin Ruan was not to be missed.

Seeing the exquisite food, Qin Ruan’s appetite was stimulated.

But her meal was not very pleasant.

The fact that the third master rushed back late at night, just because she did not eat dinner and called his name in her sleep, touched her heart.

Meanwhile, she recalled in her bedroom upstairs, that the third master told her she had been sleep talking after she woke up.

Her dreams were filled with her talking to herself on Wanbao Mountain in her previous life, with the third master who came to pay his respects to her.

She hoped she hadn’t said something that she shouldn’t have said.

As Qin Ruan thought more about it, she lost her appetite. She hurriedly finished eating, got up from the dining room, and rushed upstairs.

...

Upstairs.

Huo Yunjiao estimated that it would take Qin Ruan at least half an hour to finish her meal downstairs.

His slender fingers unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his well-proportioned and sturdy chest.

After a while, on the extravagant carpet in the room, a high-end brand belt fell.

The third master undid the constraints on his body.

Huo Yunjiao eased and relaxed some aspects of his physical structure.

It felt like he was back on the day he first met Qin Ruan at the Imperial Court Hotel.

At that time, when he encountered Qin Ruan, he was on the verge of falling ill. He felt weak all over, his heart stopped suddenly, and his vision became blurred.

Still, he was deeply drawn by the fatal attraction Qin Ruan had).

His body and soul, all irresistibly drawn to be close to her.

Even though he couldn’t see Qin Ruan’s face clearly, he was still attracted by something about her.

She was like a seductive addiction, one he couldn’t reject.

There seemed to be some magnetic field between them, invisibly drawing them towards each other.

Huo Yunjiao leaned against the head of the bed, appearing languid.

He made no move, nor did he plan to answer.

He was adjusting his steady breaths, intending to use his much-touted self-control to quell this sudden restlessness.

However, while the thought was beautiful, the reality was harsh.

The door to the bedroom was pushed open from the outside.

Qin Ruan walked into the room, quite acutely aware of the picture of the Third Master in disarray, his clothes poorly put together.

A blanket covered him but not thoroughly, intermittently revealing a tantalizing glimpse of assets that were heart-stopping.

What shocked Qin Ruan the most was the potent mix of emotion and desire on Third Master’s face.

His whole body was steeped in perfection, every part of him outlined with an elegance that was impossible to ignore.

Qin Ruan could not ignore it. Her vision was affronted.

The third master who saw Qin Ruan barging into the room had his blurry eyes quickly regain clarity.

A strong will reminded him deep in his heart that he could not hurt Qin Ruan.

He casually pulled at his blanket, covering up parts of him that were uncomfortable to the sight of a woman.

Huo Yunjiao’s expression was cold, he asked Qin Ruan in an even tone, "Have you eaten?"

His voice was still as gentle as ever, full of adoration.

Qin Ruan heard a tremor in his voice.

"Yes." She nodded blankly.

In her eyes, the third master was an ethereal prince, untouched by the mortal world.

She had never seen him like this before.

He had all the desires and emotions that an ordinary man would have.

The charm he exuded from every inch of his skin was a sexual allure that was inherently male.

Qin Ruan felt dizzy, the strings of her heart seemed to have been plucked.

The provocative hints that he had been subtly giving off earlier had stirred something within her.

Silence fell in the room, charged with awkwardness.

The curve of Huo Yunjiao’s lip was impeccably flawless.

He gestured to Qin Ruan, "Don’t just stand there."

Her heart rate quickened, she closed the room, step by step, she approached the bed.

For some reason, the closer she got to Third Master, the more her heartbeat became distinctly audible.

She moved to the other side, lifted the blanket and laid down near the edge of the bed.

This act was an intentional attempt to maintain a distance from the third master on the other side.

Huo Yunjiao took all this in.

To reassure Qin Ruan and ease the shock of earlier, he dimmed the bedside light.

He threw back the covers and started to get up.

"Third Master, where are you going?"

His hand was gently seized by a small cool one.

Huo Yunjiao turned his head to look at Qin Ruan who had moved to the middle of the bed.

Her silhouette and facial features were only roughly visible in the dim light from the bedside lamp.

Huo Yunjiao took a deep breath and said softly, "I’m going to the bathroom. Ruanruan, be a good girl, let go."

If she didn’t, he was afraid he would do something he would regret.

Like all people, Huo Yunjiao also had his own desires and emotions.

However, his reasoning was often superior to his emotions.

The mistake he made when he first met Qin Ruan, he could not afford to repeat.

Most importantly, he did not want Qin Ruan to suffer too much.

She was still in the prenatal phase, her belly much larger than a normal pregnant woman.

If anything were to happen, while he might find physical and emotional satisfaction, Qin Ruan would bear the brunt of it.

He saw her as too fragile, a person in need of careful nurturing.

Qin Ruan did not let go, she tilted her head back, her eyes adjusting to the dimness.

She stared at the man standing on the edge of the bed, his facial features vaguely discernible.

"You, do you want to..."

She could not utter the remaining words.

But her veiled invitation nearly made the restrained Third Master lose control.
