Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Grandpa San’s Affection Leaves Ruanruan Astonished

It was rare for Huo Yunjiao to be rendered speechless by Qin Ruan.

He felt that he couldn’t continue the conversation any longer.

If he went on, his life might be shortened by ten years.

The young lady seemed to have returned home in a bad mood today.

And if he continued the conversation, she might compare him to a delicate damsel, who faints at the slightest gust of wind or loud noise.

Qin Ruan realized her mistake and looked up to gauge Huo Yunjiao’s reaction, only to meet his deep, penetrating gaze.

She felt a moment of regret deep within her; she shouldn’t have vented her irrational anger on him.

But when it came to apologising, she just couldn’t manage to utter the words.

Huo Yunjiao read her conflicted expression, and his deep gaze seemed to melt like the first snow of the season.

He placed his hand on Qin Ruan’s shoulder, drew her into his embrace, and led her into the living room.

With a resigned yet indulgent tone, he asked, "What’s made you so upset? Who’s upset you? Tell me. Let’s get Old Qiang to teach them a lesson."

His childish words almost made Huo Qiang, who had just finished a phone conversation and walked over, trip over his own feet.

Having served his master for so long, he had never heard Huo Yunjiao speak to anyone with such tender and gentle words.

Even the things he said were naive to the point of making one shiver.

Qin Ruan’s internal conflict and anger dissipate instantly under Huo Yunjiao’s gentle reassurances.

Her tightly wound body relaxed, her furrowed brow relaxed, and a faint smile emerged on her exquisite face.

Her cheeks reddened slightly as she spoke slowly, "I was just a bit upset. Don’t mind the things I said earlier."

In the end, she managed to say her apology.

Huo Yunjiao seated Qin Ruan on the sofa, sitting next to her, face to face.

Their noses almost touching.

Qin Ruan’s breath stilled, and her heartbeat quickened.

She lifted her hand to push him away, but Huo Yunjiao beat her to it and pulled away first.

With Qin Ruan’s hand in his, Huo Yunjiao’s deep voice carried a serious tone: "Ruanruan, we are husband and wife, we are one. Why would I mind anything? I would be truly upset if you kept all your troubles to yourself. Home is a place when you belong without any burdens."

His voice was so tender that it was intoxicating.

Qin Ruan’s beautiful eyes sparkled brilliantly, shining brighter than the stars in the sky.

Her lips parted slightly, but she couldn’t utter a word.

Huo Yunjiao’s affectionate treatment left her overwhelmed.

The love her father and brothers showed her was cautious and compensatory for the past ten years.

Huo Yunjiao, on the other hand, always acted with dominance. All the good things he gave her were given only after he was sure that she would accept them. He gave her no chance to refuse any of it.

"Home is where you belong, without any burden."

Such a sentence was enough to make Qin Ruan’s heart melt.

There were no words of love, nor any ambiguity.

It was inexplicably moving.

The corners of Qin Ruan’s eyes curved into a crescent shape, radiating an enchanting brightness.

Seeing her mood improve, Huo Yunjiao knelt in front of Qin Ruan.

He lifted Qin Ruan’s leg, intending to personally remove the flats she had forgotten to change at the door.

This intimate action, with a subtle hint of submission shocked Qin Ruan.

She quickly withdrew her foot: "I can do it myself."

In her haste, Qin Ruan forgot about the six-month baby bump.

When she moved her foot, her stomach strained under the pressure.

"Ouch!"

"What happened?"

Huo Yunjiao quickly shifted to sit next to Qin Ruan and pulled her into his embrace, a look of worry coating his handsome face.

Qin Ruan held her stomach with one hand and waved at him with the other.

"It’s okay, I just moved too suddenly."

During this time, Qin Ruan removed her shoes by herself.

The servants in the room, with their keen senses, placed the slippers in front of Qin Ruan.

The kitchen servant brought over the medicinal soup for dinner.

Servant: "Madam, today’s soup is for nourishing your qi and blood. Would you like some?"

Her belly had only just been compressed and was quickly getting better.

Qin Ruan kindly received the soup spoon, nodding at the servant: "Thank you."

The servant left with a slight smile on her face.

Although the Madam was not always approachable, she never held herself above the servants.

Huo Yunjiao stroked Qin Ruan’s hair, seeing that she was all right before slowly saying, "Warm your stomach with some soup first and then I have something to tell you."

"What’s the matter?"

Qin Ruan took a spoonful of soup into her mouth. It tasted rich and delicious; it warmed her stomach as she swallowed it.

Huo Yunjiao said, "The Fu Family has already arrived in Capital City. They sent an invitation this afternoon. I’m indisposed and cannot go. Could you go on my behalf, Ruanruan?"

Clearly a question, but every word filled with certainty.

Qin Ruan stirred the soup with her spoon, thinking about Huo Yirong’s proposed marriage to Miss Fu.

She looked up at Huo Yunjiao, "Is brother Yirong going?"

Huo Yunjiao nodded, "Second brother will also be present, he will come to pick you up to go together tomorrow."

Qin Ruan nodded, "Understood."

This was a gesture of acceptance.

She no longer resisted such arrangements.

One must always accept their station in life.

She is the wife of Master Huo, she had to adapt to many things.

It’s all about accepting when it is time.

Huo Yunjiao pinched Qin Ruan’s earlobe, laughing as he complimented her, "So obedient."

Qin Ruan tilted her head to avoid the hand that was disturbing her soup-drinking.

Obedient?

In all her life, only this man beside her would call her obedient.

Qin Ruan admitted to herself, she and ’obedient’ could not be equated.

The soft and warm earlobe slipped from his fingertips, and Huo Yunjiao did not continue with other small gestures.

He sat with one leg over the other.

His sitting posture was elegant, exuding an aura of privilege.

Seeing Qin Ruan had stopped half-way through her soup, Huo Yunjiao suggested, "The festive outfits have been sent upstairs, would you like to try some on to see which one you like?"

Qin Ruan looked down at her six-month-old stomach.

She looked mournfully at the man beside her: "They’re all clothes I had made before, aren’t they?"

She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to fit into them.

How could Huo Yunjiao not know her worries.

Being pregnant with twins, her belly grew bigger each day.

According to the measurements taken a month or two ago, Qin Ruan would certainly not fit into the gowns.

"Don’t worry." Huo Yunjiao stood up and reached for Qin Ruan’s hand, "All these clothes were tailored according to your current size. They’ll certainly fit. It just depends on whether you like them or not."

Qin Ruan stroked her belly and lifted her hand to place it in Master Huo’s hand.

The two of them went upstairs hand in hand.

The door to their bedroom was pushed open, nearly blinding Qin Ruan with a row of dazzling gowns inside.

There had to be dozens of them, all tailored to fit her current figure.

She could only wear all these clothes while her belly size was just right this month.

If her belly was a little smaller or larger, she wouldn’t be able to wear them.

Qin Ruan furrowed her brows lightly, "All these clothes are going to be wasted if I can’t wear them afterwards."

It’s not that Qin Ruan was being stingy, she genuinely felt that it was too wasteful.

With a faint smile in his gentle eyes, Huo Yunjiao reassured her: "Nothing given to you will ever be wasted."

Qin Ruan said nothing and began to choose from the gowns, her hand slipping out of his.

Each gown was exquisitely expensive and took a lot of resources to make.

After she had the children, these gowns would just collect dust.
