Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Ruanruan: Grandpa lied to me, I’m going to run away from home!

Huo Yunjiao removed the water cup from his lips and passed it in the direction of Huo Qiang.

He said casually, "The water has cooled. Go get a new cup."

Huo Qiang bowed his head and reached out to take the water cup.

After seeing the color inside the cup, a flash of horror crossed his indifferent face.

Mr. Huo, with a casual air, adjusted his sleeve and asked calmly yet coldly, "What are you waiting for? Can’t you even manage this small task?"

Huo Qiang regulated his breathing and steadily received the water cup from his master.

"I have failed in my duty. I’ll take my leave now."

Inside, he is in complete turmoil, feeling as if the water cup in his hand weighs a thousand pounds.

As Huo Qiang turned to leave with the water cup, Qin Ruan’s voice rang out from behind him, stopping him.

"Wait!"

Qin Ruan commanded sternly.

The air was faintly filled with the smell of rust.

The calm in her eyes evaporated; her gaze, sharp as a knife blade, shot towards Huo Qiang, while her beautiful red lips pursed unhappily.

Huo Qiang halted, looking towards Mr. Huo, who was sitting on the sofa.

Huo Yunjiao looked as elegant and composed as ever.

He glanced at Huo Qiang and ordered, "Go on, bring two cups of warm water. Madam must be thirsty too."

Huo Qiang nodded and hurried away.

Qin Ruan, ignored by this master and servant, stood up abruptly.

"I said stop, didn’t you hear me?"

Huo Qiang did not stop, instead he quickened his pace towards the dining room.

Seeing this, Qin Ruan had no choice but to follow.

Mr. Huo could not let her chase after him with her heavy belly; he rose to stop Qin Ruan.

"Ruanruan, what’s wrong? Be careful with your stomach."

His voice, low and smooth, was extraordinarily pleasing, with a tinge of coaxing.

Qin Ruan stared at the man in front of her with dark eyes.

She took a step back and complained, "Sir, you lied to me!"

Huo Yunjiao paused for a moment but quickly composed himself.

He walked over to Qin Ruan and started laughing lightly.

The laughter was deep and pleasing, as if it was ringing right next to Qin Ruan’s ear.

Mr. Huo curved up his lips,looking at Qin Ruan like a child throwing a tantrum.

"Are you tired? What did I lie to you about?"

Qin Ruan retreated a few more steps until her back was against the sofa.

She composed herself, pushing down the anger that was boiling up from inside her.

She looked deep into Huo Yunjiao’s eyes and calmly said, "Sir, this isn’t amusing."

The anger that exploded in Qin Ruan’s eyes, the lack of compliance she used to show to Mr. Huo, was replaced by dominance.

When Mr. Huo tried to soothe her, Qin Ruan shouted at Huo Qiang’s retreating figure.

"Huo Qiang, come back here! If you don’t, I’m running away from home!"

Huo Qiang, who was just a few steps from the dining room, almost dropped the cup when he heard her words.

If Madam ran away from home, wouldn’t she take the two little masters with her?

That would be a grave sin.

Huo Qiang stood still, not daring to move or even turn around.

The tension in the room was palpable.

Huo Chuan approached Huo Qiang out of curiosity.

Looking down at the water cup, the blood diluted by water flickered in his eyes, causing his pupils to contract sharply.

As Huo Chuan’s lips moved slightly, Huo Qiang glared at him.

The latter quickly shut his mouth, his eyes fixated on the water cup in Huo Qiang’s hand.

The series of expressions on Huo Chuan’s face just affirmed Qin Ruan’s guesses.

She trembled slightly as the memory of Huo Yunjiao’s last year before his death came flooding back.

Back then, he had come to visit her at Wanbao Mountain, looking pale and haggard, with a faint scent of blood permeating his body.

At the time, she had no idea that he was dying, or that she would never see him again.

Qin Ruan could barely control her emotions. It was visibly clear by the heaving of her chest, that she was extremely upset.

Huo Yunjiao stroked her head, his voice soothing, "Ruanruan, it’s all my fault, don’t be angry. Being too emotional can harm your health and is not good for your looks."

"Are you treating me like a three-year-old child here?"

Qin Ruan glared at the man in front of her, who despite her anger and tantrums managed to keep his composure and still tried to appease her.

Huo Yunjiao reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, his thin lips curling into a sexy curve.

His tone was still as gentle, without a hint of irritation, "You’re acting like a child, even though you are all grown-up, you’re still threatening to run away from home."

Mr. Huo’s voice, gentle like never before, made it clear that he treasured Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan looked at the man in front of her with hard, cold eyes. Suddenly, she spoke out, "Bow your head."

Complying immediately, Mr. Huo, who wished to appease her, leaned close to Qin Ruan.

Now their faces were so close that their combined breaths fanned against each other’s faces.

Qin Ruan stood on tiptoes and bit Mr. Huo’s lips.

Huo Yunjiao was stunned, he hadn’t expected her to catch him off guard.

With a surprised look on his face, he could no longer maintain his normal calm and composed demeanor.

Qin Ruan bit his lip, but found him unresponsive.

She muttered: "Open your mouth."

Huo Yunjiao sensed the faint fragrance from Qin Ruan, and his rationale slowly vanished.

He obediently opened his mouth, intending to speak,

But Qin Ruan seized the opportunity to move assertively.

This self-destructive behavior was to gather the evidence she needed.

Soon, Qin Ruan tasted a faint bloody flavor.

The rust-like smell in the air just now reflected directly to the blood from his mouth.

Qin Ruan’s face darkened gradually, the intensity in her eyes becoming more daunting.

Huo Yunjiao had not yet realized he had fully exposed himself.

He had fallen into the trap of Qin Ruan’s initiative.

Feeling Qin Ruan’s unfamiliar and inexperienced kiss, a faint smile surfaced in his eyes.

He reached out to encircle Qin Ruan’s waist, ready to show her what tenderness felt like.

However, the very next second, she pushed him away.

A smile surfaced on her face.

Despite the smile, there was an inexplicable sadness in her demeanor.

Huo Yunjiao was unsettled under her gaze, for some reason.

This girl had a temper too, sometimes he just couldn’t quite figure her out.

As he contemplated how to comfort Qin Ruan, he subconsciously moistened his lips.

This small action inadvertently disrupted his presence, turning his face slightly pale.

The faint bitterness of blood still lingered in his mouth,

Looking at Qin Ruan’s angered eyes and her ambiguous expression, what more was there not to understand?

This girl is crafty!

She would use such a method to confirm her suspicions.

Qin Ruan turned cold and indifferent: "Huo Yunjiao, I just learned today, that you have a talent for deception."

Huo Yunjiao massaged his aching forehead, his handsome face revealing a helpless smile: "No matter how high the devil grows, Tao grows even higher. I still couldn’t deceive you."

His words held a hint of charm, but Qin Ruan was not swayed.

Arms crossed, she lifted her chin and said considerately: "It’s okay, I can pretend I don’t know."

Looking at her beautiful face, contorted in rage,

Huo Yunjiao knew he had really upset her.

He didn’t say anything. Instead, he moved closer to Qin Ruan, hoping physical contact would soothe her.

"Don’t touch me!"

Qin Ruan pushed his hand away and bypassed him to walk upstairs.

As she brushed past Huo Yunjiao, she couldn’t help but tear up.

Huo Yunjiao reached out to grab her hand, but she easily avoided his touch,

She left without looking back.

Watching her retreating figure, Huo Yunjiao felt restless and uncertain.

He didn’t like this side of Qin Ruan.

Her retreating figure was lonely, oppressed, and sad, as if she was bearing something alone.

He preferred the occasionally petulant yet adorable Qin Ruan, or even the obedient one that evoked a sense of protectiveness in him.

"Ruanruan!" Huo Yunjiao’s voice was husky.

His expression turned solemn, his previous calm demeanor of comforting her like a child was no longer visible.

Hearing the call behind her, Qin Ruan halted her steps.

She didn’t dare to turn around, nor let him see her reddened eyes.

With her back facing him, she said in a composed tone: "Huo Yunjiao next time you deceive me, please make it more convincing, so that I don’t find out."

"Please, can you forgive me this time?"

With a self-mocking expression, he showed his vulnerability.

He had never lowered his pride in front of anyone before.

He did not hesitate to appease her with his actions.

This wasn’t the same pacifying he did before, which was like comforting a child.

This was him, as a man, showing his vulnerability to his woman.

Unfortunately, Qin Ruan didn’t understand. She was genuinely angry.

It wasn’t that she was angry with him.

For her, he was a man who had no boundaries.

Though he had deceived her, she couldn’t muster up the heart to blame him.

Qin Ruan was angry with herself.

For the past month, he had always stayed outside.

She only realized something was wrong today.

He was spitting out blood. How sick was he?
