Chapter 695: Chapter 695 - It’s rare for Ruanruan to coax people, Grandpa Third is the best!

Li Zilan stood below, listening to the pair’s chitter chatter with a full face of impatience.

She furrowed her brows and asked, "Hey! What have you guys seen?"

Su Wang looked down, chuckled and said, "Checking out the hottie and the belle."

Hearing this, Li Zilan gave him the middle finger.

She was wearing a leather skirt today, otherwise, she would have long ago climbed up with them onto the wall.

Shen Ran stared at the scattered leaves by Lai Qigou’s side, his dark pupils growing deeper.

He suggested, "I feel like there’s something off about those two people, should we follow them to check it out?"

Su Wang smirked and said, "I was thinking the same thing."

He also felt something was not right about those two people. Not only did they know Qin Ruan, but they also beat up Lai Qigou’s gang. He wondered what they were doing in West City.

The two men jumped down from the wall, their jumping movements were all so cool and attractive.

The three of them followed the direction where Lan An and Lingfeng left, and quickly saw their figures.

Believing they were stealthily following without getting noticed, they had no idea they’d been found out.

Unbeknownst to them, Lan An and Lingfeng had already noticed their traces.

In the following hours, they followed Lan An and Lingfeng around West City in a huge circle.

The wonton and bun they had for lunch was long gone after a few hours.

Exhausted and hungry, they stared gloomily at Lan An and Lingfeng standing at the entrance and exit of West City.

They were beginning to seriously suspect that the two were just messing with them.

Seeing Lan An and Lingfeng leaving, Li Zilan, who had lost interest in admiring beauties, gritted her teeth and said, "They’re leaving. Are we still following?"

"To hell with following!

Su Wang let out an expletive.

Shen Ran was also quite worn-out, the two were like two distressed brothers, leaning on each other’s shoulders.

They watched Lan An and Lingfeng leave, then reluctantly dragged their tired bodies back.

These past few hours felt like a complete waste of time.

Su Wang: "Zilan, this is all your fault. If you didn’t pay attention to them, they wouldn’t have approached us."

If they hadn’t interacted, they wouldn’t have become curious.

If they hadn’t become curious, they wouldn’t have been toyed with.

Li Zilan: "But they knew Qin Ruan."

The underlying message was that it had nothing to do with her. Even if she hadn’t paid attention to those two, they might have approached them on their own initiative.

Su Wang gritted his teeth, "I suspect those two did it on purpose. Their behavior was suspicious, took us on a wild goose chase, perhaps they were scouting."

Shen Ran: "Unlikely, they didn’t do anything."

Su Wang: "Who knows what they might’ve done secretly..."

The voices of the three faded into the distance.

Lan An and Lingfeng, who had already left, noticed the three tails had stopped following and halted in their tracks.

Lingfeng looked back at the entrance of West City, her voice was light and devoid of emotion: "Will they be in danger?"

Lan An’s attitude was as cold as before: "Unsure."

They weren’t loitering aimlessly around West City, they were setting up a Formation to prevent the Huangjue Tree from escaping, waiting for Qin Ruan to personally deal with it.

Lingfeng withdrew her gaze: "Let’s go."

"Alright."

Lan An, holding her hand, continued walking.

After they had walked a few steps, their figures slowly became transparent until they disappeared on the small road.

The people passing by seemed not to see them.

Perhaps someone had noticed, but by the time they looked back, they had already disappeared.

At seven p.m., Champs Elysees Manor.

At mealtime, Qin Ruan went upstairs to check if Grandfather had gotten up.

Just as she climbed the stairs, she encountered Grandfather, who had clearly had a bath and was dressed in light-colored home clothes.

Seeing Qin Ruan leaning on her waist, Huo Yunjiao stepped forward to support her lower back: "What are you doing up here?"

Qin Ruan used the force at her lower back to relax her body and lean on Grandfather’s shoulder.

She no longer held a grudge against him and lifted her seductive eyes to look at him: "Just checking if you’re up yet. It’s time for dinner."

Huo Yunjiao glanced at the stairs and sighed lightly: "Don’t take the stairs next time, take the elevator, your body gets heavier day by day."

Qin Ruan complained, "I’m not so delicate, it’s just a few steps."

"I’m afraid of accidents."

Grandfather supported Qin Ruan, and the two slowly walked downstairs.

Halfway down, it seemed as if Qin Ruan sensed something and stood up straight.

Huo Yunjiao stopped, a puzzled look in his eyes: "What’s wrong?"

Qin Ruan pulled away his hand from her waist, saying, "Someone’s here. I’ll go meet them first, you go down and have dinner, I’ll be there soon."

Grandfather looked thoughtful. The hand that Qin Ruan had pulled away gently rubbed his fingertips.

After a while, he said, "The two from today?"

Qin Ruan didn’t deny it and nodded.

Huo Yunjiao’s eyes darkened a bit: "Do you need me to accompany you?"

Qin Ruan flatly refused without thinking: "No."

Huo Yunjiao looked down, staring intently at her belly and said, "I’ll be downstairs waiting for you."

"Ok--"

Qin Ruan watched him descend the stairs, then turned around and walked upstairs.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the second floor corridor, there stood two beautiful figures.

Lan An and Lingfeng had just arrived.

Seeing Qin Ruan coming over, their tense expressions relaxed a bit.

Going straight to the point, Qin Ruan asked, "Did you find it?"

If they hadn’t found the Huangjue Tree, Lan An and Lingfeng wouldn’t have suddenly appeared.

Lan An, with his cool and collected demeanor, nodded, "Found it, in a chaotic area."

Qin Ruan held her waist and asked with a furrowed brow, "What place is that?"

Lan An shook his head, "I’m not sure."

Qin Ruan chuckled, "You found the person, yet you have no idea where it is?"

She analyzed Lan An and Lingfeng with her beautiful eyes.

Soon, she seemed to understand something.

These two fairies, devoid of human appetites, were unfamiliar with the changing human world.

Qin Ruan said, "Never mind, as long as you can find the way back and know the location of the Huangjue Tree, just take me there."

Lingfeng’s ethereal voice rang out, "Three people you know are there, two men and a woman."

Qin Ruan seemed to guess where Lan An was talking about.

"What are their characteristics?" Expectation flickered in her eyes.

Lan An answered, "The woman has many small braids, one man is handsome, while the other is tall and robust."

"Did you go to West City?" Qin Ruan blinked, "Are there many densely packed, old buildings, narrow streets, and the environment is particularly dirty and chaotic?"

Lan An and Lingfeng nodded in unison.

They had never seen such a chaotic place.

The atmosphere there had hurt them physically and mentally.

If their true forms had grown up there, it would have been a never-ending torment for them.

"I see." Qin Ruan’s lips curled, "I haven’t eaten yet. Should we go after I eat?"

If she didn’t eat, the child in her belly would be hungry.

There is an order of priority for everything.

Lan An nodded lightly, "That’s fine."

As for any request from Qin Ruan, he would comply without any reservations, let alone such a minor matter.

Qin Ruan went downstairs to the dining room.

Noticing Huo Yunjiao leaning on the chair in a relaxed posture, holding a tablet and working.

"Why haven’t you eaten first?"

Huo Yunjiao looked up, seeing Qin Ruan, and said softly, "Waiting for you."

He put the tablet on the table and patted the seat next to him.

Without another word, Qin Ruan obediently walked over and sat down next to him.

The servant brought the food, and the two silently began to eat.

Halfway through the meal, Qin Ruan told Huo Yunjiao that she would be going out to West City soon.

Huo Yunjiao’s chopsticks paused, and he turned to look at Qin Ruan.

Her face, filled with baby fat, looked very touchable, compelling him to pinch it.

If Qin Ruan hadn’t just said she was going to West City, Huo Yunjiao might have teased her.

At this time, his brow was furrowed, and his face showed displeasure. There was disagreement in his eyes as well.

"Ruanruan, do you have to go?"

"Yes." Qin Ruan was still eating, and after swallowing her food, she said calmly, "I’m looking for someone. The spirits that died by their hand are countless. I can’t let him continue to wreak havoc."

Hearing this, Huo Yunjiao’s deep and hoarse voice let out a sigh.

Realizing something was off, Qin Ruan finally looked up at him.

Huo Yunjiao emanated a cold demeanor, his eyes were filled with a somber color, lacking the warmth they usually held.

Seeing Huo Yunjiao like this, Qin Ruan felt her heart skip a beat.

She asked, "You don’t want me to go?"

Huo Yunjiao nodded, "Yes."

His words were succinct, and his attitude clear.

Qin Ruan frowned, "Why?"

In the past, Huo Yunjiao wouldn’t constrain her.

Whatever she did, as long as she informed him, he would always follow along unconditionally.

Why was he objecting this time?

Huo Yunjiao’s well-defined hand reached towards Qin Ruan’s stomach, gently stroking it over her clothes.

"Ruanruan, the baby is already six months old, even a little mishap could make us regretful."

So, he was worried about the baby. Qin Ruan felt relieved.

She smiled modestly, "I’ll take good care of them."

"What if there’s an accident?" Huo Yunjiao cast a sidelong glance at her, no longer indulgent as he used to be, instead, he seemed like a strict patriarch.

Before Qin Ruan could speak, he continued, "Is there anything that can’t wait until after you give birth? It’s only a bit more than two months now. Stay quiet for a while, so I don’t have to worry every day."

In the past, he didn’t stop Qin Ruan because he regarded her as an independent individual, rather than completely dependent on him or a subsidiary of the Huo family.

As the baby in her belly grew larger each month, he also worried more.

The smile on Qin Ruan’s lips remained.

Not only was she not angry, but her heart also softened because of Huo Yunjiao’s expressed concerns.

Usually, he was the one coddling her. It was rare for Qin Ruan to take the initiative to pacify someone else.

She boldly reached out to touch Huo Yunjiao’s chiseled, handsome face.

"Just this once, okay? Afterwards, I’ll behave and stay at home. We can deal with other things once the baby is born."

The life line was strong enough to last until she gave birth to the baby, and even strong enough to restore Huo Yunjiao’s health.

If the Huangjue Tree wasn’t so fierce and holding so many lives hostage, Qin Ruan wouldn’t have bothered to ask Qiao Nanyuan to bring Lan An from so far away.

It’s better to get rid of such a scourge sooner rather than later, to save it from harming others.

Huo Yunjiao didn’t feel that Qin Ruan was trying to placate him, he only felt that she was acting spoiled.

This kind of soft and spoiled Qin Ruan made him unable to refuse, but the worry in his heart was still there.

His hand overlapped with Qin Ruan’s on his cheek, his facial features became milder, "Last time, come back early once it’s taken care of?"

Qin Ruan nodded with a bright smile.

Huo Yunjiao sighed, "Stay at home for the next two months and prepare for the birth in peace. You’re not an ordinary pregnant woman. You’re carrying twins. As the months go by, the risks increase. Don’t take it lightly."

Qin Ruan beamed, "Got it, Huo Yunjiao is the best!"

She couldn’t help but lean into Huo Yunjiao, landing a gentle kiss on his lips.
