Chapter 744: Chapter 744: Sinister and cunning like Third Master, his mind games are superior to Qin Ruan’s

Huo San’s deep eyes stared at the tears on Qin Ruan’s cheeks, his hand releasing her chin as he tenderly wiped away her tears.

His voice was soft as he asked, "Why are you crying?"

A smile hooked the corner of Qin Ruan’s lips, the tears in her eyes restrained, no longer as fierce.

She gently shook her head, leaning into Huo San’s hold with relaxed ease.

That was enough; all was enough.

Qin Ruan’s heart, armored by countless layers, trembled and cracked.

In this world, apart from her family, there was yet another person who cherished her, who couldn’t bear to see her suffer the smallest grievance.

Their feelings caused the fortress of her heart, tightly sealed and fiercely defended, to crumble.

Huo San, who was he? The legitimate grandson of the prominent Huo Family.

He was of noble birth, proud and aloof, matured and humble, a Crown Prince of the Imperial City admired by many.

Even if his tenderness was sugarcoated poison, Qin Ruan found it irresistible.

She wrapped her arms around Huo San’s neck, as docile as a kitten.

Huo Yunjiao thought she was still crying. He leaned in, kissed her ear, and quietly coaxed, "Don’t cry anymore."

This girl’s crying had his heart aching.

In truth, he missed the sight of Qin Ruan crying.

The first time they met, he had bullied her into tears.

Qin Ruan’s crying was pitiful, her whimpers like those of a little cat.

She was both pitiful and annoying, so much so it made him feel like making her cry even more.

She didn’t know, there were certain men of vile character who found pity in her crying. The more she wept, the more they wanted to bully her.

Under such circumstances, a gesture of superiority was moved by her tears, sending him into an inexplicable jubilation.

As Huo Yunjiao lightly kissed Qin Ruan’s earlobe, he felt the person in his arms stiffen slightly.

Whether it was her illusion or if something with an intense presence was wrong, she found something amiss with Huo San.

A strong, dangerous scent of pheromones overwhelmed her, Qin Ruan’s legs weakening.

She loosened her grip around Huo San’s neck, attempting to pull away.

Just as her foot touched the ground, her wrist was abruptly seized by a strong grip.

Her slender and fair wrist was tightly grasped by Huo San.

Qin Ruan’s clear eyes met a gaze of deep, focused concentration.

The panic in her eyes brought a satisfied smirk to his face.

His voice was calm, "Why are you running?" His voice was low and magnetic, provocative.

Qin Ruan’s eyes were moist and misty, as if they could draw anyone in.

Even the typically restrained Huo San couldn’t resist getting pulled in.

He understood why Qin Ruan was trying to escape.

Having the one he liked in his arms, how could there not be any fluctuations?

Huo Yunjiao was also a man. His nature carried a hint of wickedness.

Even if Qin Ruan felt awkward and her face was flushed, he continued to play with her in his arms.

Qin Ruan was pulled back into Huo San’s hold again, she timidly said, "I want to check on the children."

Upon hearing that she wanted to check on Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, Huo Yunjiao’s cheeky grin visibly fell.

He raised his hand, twirling Qin Ruan’s earlobe between his fingers, his voice was lazy and careless, "What’s the point in checking on them? They eat, they sleep, they live entirely at ease."

Having her earlobe seized, Qin Ruan’s breathing had become irregular, she stammered, "S-San Ye."

Her delicate face blushed beet-red to the point her voice was a bit hoarse.

Being stared at by his deep dangerous gaze, Qin Ruan’s heart trembled, pounding heavily.

Watching her wanting to flee yet trying hard to maintain composure made Huo Yunjiao’s mood lift.

Even though she looked like a little kitten ready to scratch, at this moment, she gave off a fragile sense of beauty.

Huo San gently brushed Qin Ruan’s reddened eyelids, thinking to himself, if he kept teasing her, the girl might really burst into tears again.

He released the person in his arms, his hands around her slim waist as he gently put her down.

"Those two brats are still sleeping, go check on them if you want."

As he said so, he slapped Qin Ruan’s buttocks lightly.

This slap had left Qin Ruan in an awkward position, her face flushing in an instant.

She stood in front of the Third Master, completely stupefied.

Qin Ruan’s eyes were gleaming, her fair cheeks looking as if they had been touched with rouge.

Although she should have looked embarrassed, her bewitching beauty carried an exquisite charm known only to her.

This innocent and seductive Ruanruan was simply life-threatening.

Huo Yunjiao sighs deeply within his heart.

He stands up and places his hand on Qin Ruan’s neck, pulling her closer to him.

Their distance instantly closed, noses touching, and their breaths mixed together.

Qin Ruan was pulled into the Third Master’s arms again without any warning.

Huo Yunjiao’s calm and unnervingly dark eyes stared deeply into her. "Ruanruan, I don’t want to see you cry again today. But if you keep acting like this, seductive, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist bullying you."

Qin Ruan’s eyes widened, her face showing disbelief, her eyes showing bewilderment and wronged.

What has she done wrong?

It was clearly him who’s bullying her, yet, in the end, it seems like it was her fault.

Qin Ruan’s unjust treatment was so obvious, the Third Master’s mood delightfully hooked his lips, took her hand, and walked towards the door.

As he stepped out of the study, he secretly thought to himself that the Third Master was cunning and calculating, she was indeed still a young girl, easily deflecting from the topic.

There were some things he didn’t want to say to Qin Ruan.

Only the topic of death was so heavy, he didn’t want to distress her.

At that moment, Qin Ruan was unaware of the Third Master’s schemes.

She was practically dragged out of the study.

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi were asleep.

The two little ones, one sleeping randomly, and one sleeping neatly, their characters could be seen at a glance.

Qin Ruan covered them with blankets and asked the servants about their meals for the day.

After leaving the nursery, she was again pulled by the Third Master towards the direction of the study.

While walking down the hallway on the second floor, Qin Ruan’s phone buzzed inside her pocket.

Not knowing what she thought of, she changed her complexion and quickly pulled out her phone to check the message.

As expected, it was a message from Nanyin Temple’s Hui Cheng.

He had seen her tag in the group and had sent her a private message.

Hui Cheng: [Qin Donor, anything urgent?]

That was not his WeChat name, ’Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng’, that he had mentioned in the group.

As Qin Ruan was typing her message reply, suddenly her fingers paused.

She deleted the few words in the text box and quickly typed out a sentence and sent it.

—[Master Hui Cheng, are you in Capital City?]

Hui Cheng: [Yes.]

He only sent one word in reply; very concise.

Qin Ruan had initially intended to directly ask Hui Cheng, however, after considering that all the things Ling Xiaoxuan had experienced were in her past life, she chose to arrange a meeting and also meet Ling Xiaoxuan in person if possible.

Qin Ruan: [There are some things I want to discuss with you, one of my friends is in some trouble, do you have time to meet?]

Hui Cheng: [Sure, when and where?]

Qin Ruan: [Tomorrow morning, I can come to pick you up, can we go to my friend’s house together?]

Hui Cheng: [I will wait for your message.]

This could be considered as an agreement.

The brief communication caused Qin Ruan’s perception of Hui Cheng to change.

He didn’t seem as social as when he was arguing with Wei Xishi in the group chat, his attitude was rather cold.

Qin Ruan looked at the now dark phone screen, wondering what kind of person Hui Cheng was.

"Little girl, snap out of it."

A pair of hands waved in front of Qin Ruan’s eyes.

Qin Ruan lifted her head and came face to face with the Third Master, with the smile in his eyes growing deeper.
