Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 626: My Man Must Die With Me!

Chapter 626: Chapter 626: My Man Must Die With Me!

Huo Yunjiao was always mild-mannered within the Huo family.

The younger members of the family, who used to be gentle-tempered, now had a hint of icy coldness on their handsome faces, which shocked Uncle Nine.

After a while, a strong sense of disappointment emerged from his eyes.

"Yunjiao, are you threatening me?"

Huo Yunjiao, with her proud eyes, faintly looked at him, "How could it be? Harmony breeds prosperity. If the family is not peaceful, we should just find a way to ensure its tranquility. However, I cannot guarantee how things will end up."

Uncle Nine frowned, "What do you mean?"

Huo Yunjiao’s lips curved into a mild, soft smile, "If we go by the rules, we should naturally follow the family regulations. The elders of the Huo family have no right to meddle in Punishment Hall affairs."

Uncle Nine glared, "That doesn’t grant outsiders the right to intervene in the Punishment Hall either."

Huo Yunjiao shook her head, "You’re mistaken. When the seventh generation Huo family head inherited the Punishment Hall at a young age after his father’s death, it was the Huo family head’s mother who assisted him. Over the years, my health condition have been witnessed by all. What is wrong with me preparing for the inevitable?"

The conversational composure in her demeanor resembled a natural-born ruler, seemingly in control of all matters.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine was so angered that his nose went crooked, "If you insist on this, I have nothing more to say. Goodbye!"

He rose from his seat, shot a cold glare at Qin Ruan, full of disdain on his face.

The old man had clearly recalled the incident of the seventh generation Huo family head.

That was the only family head who ever took over the Punishment Hall under the support of the Huo family head’s mother.

Lord Huo softly ordered, "Huo Qiang, escort Uncle Nine."

"Yes, master."

Standing as if a wooden horse not far away, Huo Qiang promptly followed Uncle Nine’s receding figure.

"No need, this old man can still walk!" Uncle Nine called back without turning his head.

His angry words almost drowned out the entire guest room.

"Wait."

Qin Ruan, leaning on her waist, stood up. She lazily called out as Uncle Nine stood at the door, "Uncle Nine, I never had any interest in the Punishment Hall, but after listening to your words, I’m somewhat intrigued."

Uncle Nine whirled around, tremblingly pointing at Qin Ruan.

"You, you..."

Dizzy and furious, he couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

"Safe journey, no need to see you off."

Qin Ruan’s face beamed with a radiant smile, her beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons, looking extremely attractive.

Huo Yunjiao wasn’t wrong. Qin Ruan was young and beautiful. Her beauty was enough to make any man’s heart flutter.

Even Uncle Nine was somewhat dazzled looking at Qin Ruan’s radiant smile.

"Hmph!"

Uncle Nine huffed in annoyance.

He didn’t say anything else in the end, and hastily left.

Huo Yunjiao rose, wrapped his arm around Qin Ruan’s waist, and chuckled, "Childish."

Gazing into Qin Ruan’s eyes, his expression was full of indulgence.

Qin Ruan’s words just now were clearly meant to infuriate Uncle Nine.

In response to his remark, Qin Ruan snorted, "It’s his fault for constantly pressuring you."

Huo Yunjiao laughed, a joyful light sparked in his eyes, "Are you defending me?"

"What else then?"

Qin Ruan gave him a side glance, looking adorably petulant.

Huo Yunjiao gently touched her head, "I am deeply touched by madam’s sentiments."

Qin Ruan wasn’t buying his act. She stepped back from his embrace, looked up at him and asked seriously,

"Lord, what did you mean by the ’ten years’ you just mentioned?"

A faint smile appeared on Huo Yunjiao’s lips, his eyes flashing with a trace of sombreness, he nonchalantly replied, "Don’t you already know? The message the Witch Clan passed to the Nangong family is now known by all the major powers in Capital City, I have only ten years left to live."

"Rubbish!"

Qin Ruan no longer bothered to maintain her obedient image in front of him.

She pulled a grim face and said in a menacing tone, "Want to die? Not a chance!"

She grabbed his collar, pulling him close, "Lord, even if you want to die, it would depend on whether I agree or not. Ten years? Are you underestimating me!

My man must die with me! Even if you lose your life and your soul enters the netherworld, I’ll still pull your soul back to life!"

After her bold statement, Qin Ruan released his collar and turned to leave.

She was afraid that if she didn’t leave, she would end up arguing with him.

This man never shared his true feelings with her after they officially got married. He just covertly paved the way for her.

He never asked her if this was what she wanted.

If it were not for the kindness he had shown her in their previous life, and the blurred feelings she had for him in this life, she would have already run away from home.

One child or two, she was capable of raising them with or without a man.

If it were any other man put in Huo Yunjiao’s place today, she wouldn’t think twice before packing her things and going back to the Qin family.

However, Huo Yunjiao was special. He was the only one who showed her kindness and light in her previous life after her death.

How could she just stand by and watch him walk towards his death?

Qin Ruan was angry.

Huo Yunjiao was seeing her so upset with him for the first time.

Even when he had hidden his illness from her before, Qin Ruan hadn’t been this furious.

Huo Yunjiao couldn’t just let Qin Ruan leave in such a rage.

He swiftly chased after her, and just as Qin Ruan was about to step out of the guest room, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"Dear, don’t be angry."

Qin Ruan rested in Huo Yunjiao’s embrace without resisting.

His deep and pleasing voice sounded in her ear, soothing, "I did all this just as a precaution, to give you the best of everything to alleviate any future worries."

"There won’t be unforeseen circumstances!"

Qin Ruan responded coldly, her back still facing him.

"Alright, alright. I won’t mention this again if you don’t want to hear it. Don’t be upset."

Huo Yunjiao bent his head and gave her hair a light kiss.

He gently explained, "What I said before was for Uncle Nine’s benefit. Why are you taking it so seriously?"

Qin Ruan’s anger, which had been surging up, had already greatly subsided due to his gentle kiss.

His following explanation completely dissipated the remaining lumbering anger.

She turned around hugging his waist and buried her head in his chest.

"Lord, whether your words are true or false, mine are true. I won’t let you die!

My biggest wish in this life is to watch our child grow up together, see him get married and have children, and leave no regrets."

"Alright, I promise you."

Huo Yunjiao’s waist felt Qin Ruan’s bulging belly.

The child in her belly was very active, moving around constantly.

He thought that after the two children were born, they were bound to be very lively and mischievous.

If he could, he surely would love to watch his children grow up with Qin Ruan by his side, hand in hand for life.

Out of Qin Ruan’s sight, Lord Huo’s lips curled up in a faint bitter smile.

Upon hearing the Lord’s promise to accompany her and the child, Qin Ruan’s lips curved into a faint smile.

As long as she is still alive, she will not let this man die prematurely like in his previous life.

Thus, both of them, each thinking in their own way, felt a mutual understanding between each other.

...

Odi School.

Wei Xishi and Liuliu didn’t get a good night’s sleep last night.

They were woken up early by the bell, got out of bed, had a quick breakfast, and started wandering around the school.
