Chapter 648: Chapter 648: The Fu Family Head, Also Has to Call Huo Yunjiao ’Third Master

The carriage carrying Qin Ruan and Huo Yirong came to a steady halt outside the banquet hall.

Lin Hao and Huo Qiang got off first, opened the rear door of the car, and respectfully gestured for the passengers to alight.

Huo Yirong was the first to step out.

Without acknowledging the gazes cast from the banquet hall, he moved around the car and walked to Qin Ruan’s side.

Being pregnant, Qin Ruan had opted for flat shoes.

Her feet had just touched the ground when Huo Yirong bent down and offered her an arm for support.

In a low voice, he warned, "Be careful where you step. the place may be crowded, ensure no one bumps into you."

"Understood." replyed Qin Ruan

She took his arm as they walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

As they walked, they crossed paths with a middle-aged man descending the steps.

Upon seeing him, a flawless smile spread across Huo Yirong’s fine features. "Mr. Fu, it’s nice to see you in good health."

The middle-aged man was the host of the banquet, the head of the Fu family.

Fu Yueyuan patted Huo Yirong on the shoulder, laughing heartily, "Young master Huo, you’ve grown so much, you truly are a promising youngster."

Huo Yirong maintained his polite smile, "You flatter me."

Fu Yueyuan’s gaze landed on Qin Ruan, a hint of curiosity apparent in his eyes, "And who might this be?"

Upon seeing Qin Ruan’s bulging belly, he had a guess about her identity.

Nevertheless, one requires a topic for pleasantries.

There was a trace of genuineness in Huo Yirong’s detached smile.

Glancing at the cold and aloof Qin Ruan, he introduced her in a gentle voice.

"This is my younger brother’s wife. He is unwell and could not attend, so she is here in his place."

It was quite an honor for the Fu family that Madam Huo was in attendance on behalf of Mr. Huo.

Overwhelmed by the gesture, Fu Yueyuan hurriedly extended his hand, "So it’s Mrs. Huo, a pleasure to finally meet you."

Qin Ruan carried a gift in her hand from when they had alighted the car and presented it to Fu Yueyuan.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Fu, this is a small token of our appreciation."

"Your presence is more than enough, there was no need to bring a gift."

Fu Yueyuan accepted the gift and handed it to his assistant.

After a handshake, the duo parted ways.

Soon, the smile on Fu Yueyuan’s face faded, replaced with a look of regret and concern towards Huo Yirong and Qin Ruan.

"I have heard about Mr. Huo’s condition. Once he recovers, I wish to visit him personally."

Even as the head of the Fu family, Fu Yueyuan deemed it necessary to accord Huo Yunjiao the respect of a senior.

Addressing Huo Yunjiao as ’third master’ in Capital City didn’t just imply verbal acknowledgment.

It was an acceptance of him being the legitimate successor of the Huo family and an endorsement of his strategies and actions.

His peers admired the third master while the older generation respected him.

A glint flashed in the calm depths of Qin Ruan’s eyes.

Did Fu Yueyuan’s candidness represent the stance of the entire Fu family?

Huo Yirong’s eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded at Fu Yueyuan, "I will relay your message to my younger brother."

Fu Yueyuan patted Huo Yirong’s arm again, "You should go inside, it’s quite chaotic. My assistant will show you to the VIP area.

There are mostly young people in the VIP room, my son is also there. You should mingle and chat, young people always have things to talk about."

Getting the hint that he was trying to bond over their children, Huo Yirong was reminded of another purpose of the evening.

The fourth young lady of the Fu family, now that was something he was curious about.

Huo Yirong nodded, "In that case, we will not keep you any longer."

Fu Yueyuan instructed his assistant to escort Huo Yirong and Qin Ruan to the VIP area.

As they entered the banquet hall, their arrival did not go unnoticed, yet no one dared to approach them.

The outer hall was crowded, buzzing with noise.

Qin Ruan glanced around, spotting several familiar faces.

Among those present were men and women who frequently appeared on television screens.

They were actors with considerable clout in the entertainment industry.

They were either critically acclaimed or rising stars in the industry.

Fu Yueyuan’s assistant took the lead, "Sir Huo, Madam, please this way."

Guided by him, Huo Yirong and Qin Ruan managed to navigate through the din of the banquet hall, finally reaching a door.

The assistant opened the door, "Our esteemed guests, please step inside. My master and young mistress are also present."

Loyal to his masters till the end, even at that moment, he didn’t forget to mention them.

Upon the door opening, familiar faces came into view for both Huo Yirong and Qin Ruan.

Although it was the VIP area, it was still bustling.

Compared to the noise outside, the conversations here were quieter, more hushed.

"Master Huo!"

"Madam Huo..."

Huo Yirong and Qin Ruan stood at the entrance, several voices within the room greeted them.

The VIP room was filled with members from the four major families and the six aristocratic families.

Of course, they all recognized Huo Yirong and Qin Ruan.

The duo strolled in leisurely.

The first to approach them was Long Xinzhao.

Wearing a kind smile on his boyish face, he approached Huo Yirong cheerily, "Big brother!"

A gentle young man, he was always a delight to be around.

Huo Yirong harbored a fondness towards his eldest brother’s brother-in-law.

He was a likeable kid, causing neither trouble nor annoyance.

Raising an eyebrow, the aloof demeanor that he maintained in public vanished, "Who did you come with?"

Long Xinzhao: "I came with the rest of the boys from the Long family. Many rising stars are here today, they’re outside having fun."

By ’the rest of the boys’, he was referring to the members from the lesser branches of the Long family.

Upon noticing Qin Ruan nearby, Long Xinzhao greeted her warmly, "sister-in-law."

He showed no animosity upon initially learning that Qin Ruan was the third master’s wife.

Qin Ruan gave a small smile as she acknowledged him.

At this point, the Lu brothers approached them.

After exchanging greetings, the eldest brother, Lu Han, began conversing with Huo Yirong.

Meanwhile, Lu Yichen sat across Qin Ruan, winking and making faces, clearly with something to say.

Realizing that it wasn’t right for Qin Ruan to stand for so long, Huo Yirong excused himself from his conservation with Lu Han.

Turning to the servants, Lin Hao and Huo Qiang, who stood behind him, he ordered, "Take Madam to rest for a while, take good care of her."

"Yes, Master."

Qin Ruan released Huo Yirong’s arm and calmly walked to a quiet corner of the room amid the watchful gazes of the VIPs.

The sofa was comfortable, the table was laden with exquisite pastries, along with fine wines money couldn’t buy from the outside.

The place had clearly been arranged with care.

Assessing the grandeur of today’s event and the intricate arrangements, it was clear that the Fu Family, new entrants into Capital City, were eager to foster good relations with the four major families and the other five aristocratic families.

Lin Hao and Huo Qiang stood behind Qin Ruan.

Lu Yichen quickly broke away from his elder brother and Huo Yirong and approached Qin Ruan.

Unabashedly, he sat across Qin Ruan and flashed his smile, "My dear junior, it’s been a while!"

Leaning against the sofa, Qin Ruan relaxed, "It’s been a while."

With a teasing smile in his eyes, Lu Yichen pointed at Qin Ruan’s belly, "We haven’t been apart for long, yet your belly has grown so much. Are you about to give birth?"

Mentioning her child made Qin Ruan’s eyes soften.

She nodded and spoke gently, "Soon, the baby will arrive in two or three months."
