Chapter 612: Chapter 612: Ruanruan, bullied by Grandpa San, fierce as a tigress!

Huo Yunjiao sat in the sunroom, his eyes slightly closed, gazing quietly at the green plants before him.

His flawless face showed deep contemplation, but it was unclear what he was thinking about.

Outside the room.

Qin Ruan reached out to touch the glass door before her, outlining the figure inside the room at her fingertips.

As if sensing something, the Third Master suddenly turned around.

A pair of cold and profound eyes met a pair obscured by a thin layer of mist: complex and difficult to read.

The gazes of the two collided in the void.

The Third Master’s icy gaze softened and melted like snow, warmly focusing on Qin Ruan.

He waved at the person outside, a soft curve gracing his lips.

Bathed in the sunlight, the Third Master was stunning enough to make one’s head spin.

Qin Ruan’s expression subtly shifted, her eyes lowering slowly.

She pushed open the room door and entered, treading softly and steadily.

Gazing at the approaching person, the Third Master asked knowingly, "Is everything taken care of?"

The fact that Qin Ruan was here suggested she had handled everything successfully.

Right when she had returned, Huo Chuan had already reported to Huo Yunjiao.

He had reported everything, including details of how Qin Ruan had awed the Punishment Hall’s Hidden Guards with her strength.

Qin Ruan moved to the Third Master’s side and sat down next to him.

She leaned her head on the man’s shoulder in a familiar and practiced move as if it was something she often did.

Qin Ruan twitched her nose slightly, detecting a faint smell of blood on the Third Master.

Coldness flickered in her misty eyes.

This man has coughed up blood again.

Qin Ruan reached out and held Huo Yunjiao’s hand, their fingers entwining.

The little Underworld Divine Power she had left flowed from their clasped hands, seeping into him thread by thread.

Huo Yunjiao looked down, focusing his gentle gaze on Qin Ruan’s expressionless face.

His eyes were deep as the sea, the pupils reflecting a brief sharpness that didn’t diminish his elegance and nobility in the least.

Qin Ruan was seething with resentment—she was not happy.

Huo Yunjiao’s lips tightened, his gaze deepening.

He stroked Qin Ruan’s hair, taking comfort in the soothing sensation coming from her hand.

He knew Qin Ruan was using some form of power to smooth out his body.

"Are you upset?"

The question from above broke Qin Ruan’s brooding silence.

She was most certainly not happy.

The Third Master’s health was unstable, and their child was about to be born.

Lacking Evil Qi, she felt somewhat anxious.

Not hearing Qin Ruan’s response, Huo Yunjiao’s made an assumption.

He drew Qin Ruan into his embrace, the gap between them vanishing.

Their bodies pressed together, they could hear each other’s heartbeats through their clothing.

The Third Master bent his head and gave Qin Ruan a gentle kiss on her hair.

He apologized, "I was negligent this time. I won’t give others the chance to exploit anything again. I’ve already ordered Lao Qiang to find the mastermind behind all this. When they are found, can I hand them over to you for handling?"

His voice was gentle, harboring a hint of indulgence.

Qin Ruan lifted her eyes: "What do you mean?"

Her clear eyes were full of confusion.

Only then did Huo Yunjiao realize they were not on the same wavelength.

A nearly invisible smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he chuckled: "A158 wasn’t sent by me. Someone purposely sent him to you in hopes of deterring you from intervening in the affairs of the Punishment Hall."

His voice was low, soft, and subtly magnetic.

The news didn’t surprise Qin Ruan: "Aside from A158, you arranged for the other two, didn’t you?"

It was supposed to be a question, but her voice was filled with affirmation.

Huo Yunjiao nodded, not attempting to conceal it: "Yes, with your bravery, skills, and unique abilities in metaphysics, you are very suitable to take over the Punishment Hall.

It signifies your position as the lady of the Huo Family and your formal acceptance of the affairs of the Huo Family.

I initially planned for you to slowly become involved in the Punishment Hall, preparing to take over when ready, but I didn’t foresee someone getting in the way."

Qin Ruan’s pale red lips curled slightly, her pure face revealing a teasing smile: "Are you so sure I would take over the Punishment Hall, Master?"

She let go of Huo Yunjiao’s hand, sitting upright, creating a distance between them.

The intimacy shared between them was no more.

Third master was still as indifferent, gentle, and elegant as usual.

He didn’t mind Qin Ruan’s capricious nature at all, but instead pulled her back into his arms again.

As Qin Ruan prepared to struggle and retreat, the third master lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Their lips touched, neither moved.

Seeing that Qin Ruan was being docile now, the third master gently stroked the back of her neck, feeling her body temperature, different from his own coolness.

Qin Ruan’s eyelashes quivered slightly, as she looked up at him.

The surprise in her eyes was unexpectedly charming and made one’s heartache.

The next second, a soft laugh was emitted from between their lips.

The laugh was joyful and filled with satisfaction.

Huo Yunjiao pulled back, his fingers gently brushing Qin Ruan’s lips.

He was languidly leaning against the sofa, the laughter did not stop.

He had long noticed that Qin Ruan seemed to be unable to resist his closeness.

Whenever she wanted to act out, his hugs and kisses could calm her down immediately.

The third master’s index finger was still gently stroking Qin Ruan’s pale lips.

The action was provocative and ambiguous, with an indescribable meaning.

Naturally, if one were to ignore the third master’s laughter, perhaps the two could really ignite a passionate flame and have a mind-and-body connection.

His laughter was completely destroying the mood.

"Don’t laugh!"

Qin Ruan felt a shiver down her spine from his laughter, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

This man was too bullying.

That laughter was absolutely unfair!

Seeing that Qin Ruan was about to get annoyed again, the third master stopped his laughter.

Holding her small hand, his tone was serious, "Ruanruan, you will take over the Punishment Hall, you’re smart, you know what you want."

The calm composed look on Huo Yunjiao’s face matched his firm tone.

Meeting his deep and affectionate gaze, Qin Ruan’s annoyance gradually dissipated.

Third Master’s eyelashes were long; a simple blink was enough to leave Qin Ruan feeling a bit dazed.

Being handsome really does make forgiveness easy.

Qin Ruan pouted, blaming herself.

She adjusted her slightly erratic breathing, her fingertips gently stroking the Buddha Beads on the third master’s wrist.

She didn’t deny his words, instead cautioning him with a deep meaning, "You should not laugh so lightly at others in the future, it can easily cause accidents."

Hearing her words, Huo Yunjiao blinked, showing confusion.

Qin Ruan gave him a sideways glance, her face devoid of expression, "You smile so brilliantly, anyone who doesn’t know better might think you like them."

A strange look appeared on Huo Yunjiao’s handsome face.

It seemed as if he was taken aback by Qin Ruan’s words.

Third master’s unsuspecting look was fleeting, quickly regaining his calm.

His peach blossom eyes full of affection looked at Qin Ruan, lips parting slightly, "Is Ruanruan warning me not to be a flirt outside?"

A trace of underlying jest was present in his gentle, deep voice.

The little girl is quite jealous.

He had kept himself pure for many years, never flirting around, yet after getting married he was accused of such.

Looking for someone to complain to was fruitless.

Qin Ruan, unaware of the third master’s grievances, immediately countered, "I didn’t say that."

Although, the meaning was almost the same.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a gentle and warm light over the third master and Qin Ruan.

Huo Yunjiao scrutinized Qin Ruan carefully, as she turned her head unconsciously, leaving only her profile for him.

What he saw was Qin Ruan’s flushed ears.

Huo Yunjiao moved closer to Qin Ruan and took a sniff at her neck.

He softly joked, "Not very old but quite jealous, let me smell, did Ruanruan get jealous today?"

Qin Ruan reached out to push him, but the third master retreated first.

She glared at the man in front of her, "What are you talking about? Did third master spill the jealous jar all over himself?"

The sight of Qin Ruan pretending to be fierce melted Huo Yunjiao’s heart.

A smile appeared on his face, his peach blossom eyes half-closed, making him look lazy and luxurious.
