Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Each Other’s Identities, An Insurmountable Chasm

When Song Qing returned to the living room, Grandfather Huo and Ruanruan had already gone upstairs.

With the kids still up, they decided to play with the little ones for a while.

In the nursery, Huo Yao and Huo Anqi were well-behaved and not fighting at all.

Grandfather Huo glanced at the maid standing on the side, noticing her twitching lips and speechless expression.

He then looked at the two obedient boys, Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, each occupied with their own things on the baby bed.

Although the two kids seemed well-behaved, their clothes were slightly disheveled, and a fine sheen of sweat was on their foreheads.

Grandfather Huo understood clearly - these two rascals must have been up to no good before he and Ruanruan walked in.

Qin Ruan, however, did not notice anything amiss.

All she saw before her were her two adorable and well-behaved sons.

Standing by the side of the baby bed, she opened her arms to the two lively kids, "Ayao, Anqi, come, let Mommy hold you."

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi immediately stood up. They ran towards Qin Ruan’s embrace like toddlers that were just a year old, steadiness in their steps.

"Ah!"

"Yiya!"

Each of them clung onto an arm of Qin Ruan’s, satisfied coos escaping from their mouths.

Qin Ruan was smiling contentedly, cradling her two sons.

The tension caused by Grandfather Huo’s previous blood-spitting incident was somewhat eased in this moment.

Grandfather Huo’s blood-spitting was due to the black Evil Qi in his body overpowering his inherent Purple Energy.

When the pressure reached a certain degree, it was inevitable that his body would become damaged and he’d start coughing blood.

Since there was no way to solve this completely, all she could do was expend more of her Nether Power every day to help condition his body.

Under this premise, she needed to ensure that she had collected enough Evil Qi to bear the consumption incurred by conditioning Grandfather Huo multiple times a day.

Holding her two treasures, Qin Ruan was thinking about getting back to work.

Should she set up a stall at Tongsha Sky Bridge or find Qiao Nanyuan and Lun Wenbin to start some business ventures?

Grandfather Huo leaned casually against a pram behind the trio, exuding nobility and elegance, with his enchanting eyes and brows.

His gaze towards his wife and son were warm and affectionate, a gentle curve tugging at his lips.

Suddenly, the sound of an incoming call on her mobile phone interrupted this warm atmosphere.

Qin Ruan loosened the hand that was holding Huo Yao, took out her phone from her pocket, and saw that the caller was Ling Xiaoxuan.

She woke up so soon?

She swiped the screen to answer the call.

"Qin Ruan?"

A weak and powerless voice echoed into Qin Ruan’s ear through the phone.

"You’re awake. How are you feeling?"

"I feel like my bones have been shattered and reassembled. The pain is unbearable."

Qin Ruan chuckled quietly, "Pain is a good sign. Now, enjoy your new life."

There was a moment of silence on Ling Xiaoxuan’s end before she said, "Lei Ning told me to call you."

Qin Ruan responded with a hum, "Xiaoxuan, a person’s destiny is closely related to the environment, people, and things they encounter in their life. If you want to change anything, you first need to entirely remove yourself from the Ling Family."

Ling Xiaoxuan gasped, "You’re saying I should sever ties with the Ling Family?"

"Not necessarily sever, but something similar. Since you’re not a part of the Ling Family and they have something you want, you should be prepared to sacrifice one of the two."

"Will this change the life-and-death situation between my uncle and I?"

Huo Yao’s little paw was trying to get into Qin Ruan’s clothes.

Qin Ruan frowned, let go of Huo Anqi, and lightly slapped Huo Yao’s hand away.

She didn’t use much force, and Huo Yao, without taking his hand back, looked at Qin Ruan with his large, moist, and innocent eyes.

That look made Qin Ruan, being a new mother, feel her heart melting instantly.

She answered Ling Xiaoxuan in a gentle voice, "I can’t guarantee it’ll change everything, but there’s about a seventy to eighty percent chance."

Ling Xiaoxuan obviously didn’t want to hear such an answer: "Qin Ruan, as I’ve said before, even if there’s an inkling of a chance that my little uncle gets hurt, I’m not willing to take the risk."

"That’s why I am trying to find a perfect solution for you. If you want change, you must take the first step, right?"

Huo Yao’s little claws continued to work. His small hands were too soft, his movements too cautious, and his gentle touch made Qin Ruan feel a bit ticklish.

"Alright!" Ling Xiaoxuan didn’t hesitate much, "I promise you!"

Qin Ruan glanced at Huo Yao and with a look, stopped him. She gently spoke to Ling Xiaoxuan, "Make your own decision. It’s just a suggestion. You’re still a member of the Ling family now. You want to be with Ling Zeheng, but the gap between your statuses is insurmountable."

"I understand."

"Did you let your little uncle know that you’re safe?"

"Not yet."

"Give him a call, you can’t keep avoiding things."

"Yes, I’ll call him later."

"Then I won’t bother you anymore. Think about how you will explain everything."

Qin Ruan hung up the phone without giving Ling Xiaoxuan a chance to speak.

If she didn’t hang up, the little brat Huo Yao would have managed to unbutton the clothes underneath her.

Although Huo Anqi wasn’t as bold as his older brother, he also looked up with eager eyes at Qin Ruan’s chest, like he was craving food.

Master Huo suddenly hugged Qin Ruan from behind, pushing away Huo Yao’s intrusive hand, and pulled Qin Ruan’s sleeve from Huo Anqi’s grasp.

He directly tucked her into his own arms and ordered the servant in a low voice, "Prepare their formula."

"Yes, Master Huo!"

The servant had thought that since Madam was here today, she could breastfeed herself. She didn’t expect the two young masters still needed their formula.

Huo Yunjiao narrowed his eyes, his gaze darkening as he glared at the pouting Huo Yao and Huo Anqi.

Don’t think that he didn’t see the complaint in those two little brats.

Master Huo’s lips curled into an emotionless smile. He took the woman in his arms and headed for the door.

Qin Ruan whispered, "Actually, I could breastfeed them."

Master Huo’s tone was slightly heavy and definitive, "No, you can’t!"

"Why?"

Qin Ruan looked up at him with confusion in her eyes.

Master Huo lowered his gaze, looking at her chest, swallowing hard.

His eyes were dark and fathomless, like an ancient well, radiating an unknown danger.

He forced his gaze away from her and stared into Qin Ruan’s eyes. "Girl, don’t tempt me."

His voice was husky and sexy, provocatively so.

As if understanding something, Qin Ruan’s eyes widened, and her body tensed up.

The two of them were so close to each other that any unique reactions were clearly felt.

Seeing Qin Ruan’s defensiveness, Master Huo ruffled her hair, and reassured her softly, "I won’t touch you lately, behave."

Returning to the bedroom, Qin Ruan’s heart was still pounding.

Physical needs between husband and wife were part and parcel of life.

Hearing Master Huo expressing his desires hinted that he wanted her, Qin Ruan felt her defences softening.

Even if she was afraid and repulsed by pain, even if she felt a kind of unnamable shyness...

Actually... it’s not entirely out of the question.

Master Huo, back in the bedroom, was semi-reclining on the bed with a blanket covering everything below his waist.

He reached over and picked up the tablet on the bedside table, opened a certain file, then beckoned to Qin Ruan, who had just finished pouring water and was lost in thought at the table.

"Ruanruan, come here."

"Hm?"

Qin Ruan looked up, confused, at the man lying on the bed. His face looked tired and sick.
