Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!

Chapter 808: Chapter 808 Huo Sanye: Girl, behave, I’ll cherish you

Huo Laotaiye forced a smile, "Yan Yiqi, your words are rather uninteresting. While Ruanruan may have some ability and has done a few things, she’s nowhere near the level of a master.

Domestic clans like Spiritual Mountain Gate, Nanyin Temple, Maoshan Sect, and Jade Star Sect, which one doesn’t have a gathering of experts? Ruanruan is merely dabbling and showing a bit of interest in that area."

Since Qin Ruan entered the doors of the Huo Family, all her actions were under the Huo Family’s scrutiny.

What she did, the cases she was involved in, and the evil spirit incidents she settled, naturally, could not escape Huo Laotaiye’s notice.

Yan Yiqi retracted his gaze, losing his public facade, and leaned on the sofa, full of exhaustion, "I’m seldom in the country and am unaware of some internal matters. Last time, due to Xirong’s situation, I asked the Witch Clan to intervene. Do you know how they view Yunjiao’s young Madam?"

Huo Laotaiye sat up straight, and Huo Hongxing’s aura also became cold and stern.

As for Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, it was none of their business; they each fiddled with their little hands, innocent as children.

Yan Yiqi didn’t beat around the bush, "In the eyes of the Witch Clan, Qin Ruan is the number one threat, posing a great danger to them. How could such a person not have some abilities?"

Huo Laotaiye narrowed his eyes, "Did the Witch Clan send you here?"

Yan Yiqi shook his head, "No, they couldn’t cure Xirong, and I don’t have much time left to live. Before my death, I must seek a way out for Xirong. I used some methods to pry open the mouths of the Witch Clan, and only then did I learn about Qin Ruan’s existence."

Upon hearing this, Huo Laotaiye was furious, pointing at Yan Yiqi without regard for his pale face and bellowed, "What kind of people are from the Witch Clan, and you dare to deal with them?!

They have been radical and have killed countless people these years. The dirty deeds they have done behind the scenes, don’t tell me you don’t know! Dealing with greedy wolves, you won’t know how you’ll die!"

Yan Yiqi appeared old and grief-stricken, "I have not led a good life, but I do not wish the white-haired to send off the black-haired."

Although he was a few years younger than Huo Laotaiye, he was already half in the grave, just short of the coffin lid.

Huo Laotaiye and Huo Hongxing were silent, their faces showing pity.

There are three great sorrows in life: losing one’s mother at a young age, one’s wife in middle age, and one’s child in old age.

Huo Laotaiye took a deep breath, "You want to ask Ruanruan to take action?"

Yan Yiqi’s eyes, which were becoming increasingly cloudy, looked towards his old friend, "She is Xirong’s last hope."

Huo Laotaiye took a deep breath, "Aren’t you afraid that the Witch Clan will set their sights on her? If Ruanruan truly is Anyu’s daughter, you’re pushing her into a dead end."

"The high priest of the Church of Northern England intervened and used a secret technique to learn of Qin Ruan’s existence from the Witch Clan; they won’t know that I’ve returned to the country to ask that girl for help."

"You still have some conscience left, I need to discuss this with Jiaojiao first."

"Thank you—" Yan Yiqi looked exceptionally weary.

Huo Laotaiye then asked, "Do you want to look into Ruanruan’s background?"

Yan Yiqi waved his hand, eyes closed, his pale face devoid of color.

He didn’t say whether he was refusing the Huo Family’s offer to investigate or if the Yan Family would take the initiative.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Yiqi suddenly asked, "How is Anyu?"

"Qin Ruan has no mother; she was abducted by human traffickers early on and grew up in an orphanage in the slums. She’s suffered a lot in her childhood..."

Huo Hongxing hadn’t finished speaking when Yan Yiqi abruptly opened his eyes wide. He turned his head stiffly to look at the person who spoke.

Huo Hongxing couldn’t bear to meet his lonely and sorrowful gaze and continued, "To survive in West City, she nearly lost her life, and only as an adult was she found and brought back by the Qin Family."

"Pfft!"

Yan Yiqi suddenly opened his mouth wide and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body trembling.

"Family Head!"

"Uncle Yan!"

"Yan Yiqi!"

With Yan Yiqi vomiting blood, everyone panicked.

Huo Laotaiye put the child in his arms on the sofa and joined Huo Hongxing to check Yan Yiqi’s condition.

"Anyu, Anyu... my daughter..."

Yan Yiqi’s whole body shook, his eyes’ pupils dilated, clearly overcome with grief.

Huo Laotaiye yelled at his son, "Go call a doctor, quick!"

...

Qin Ruan didn’t know what had happened in the VIP room.

She exchanged pleasantries with her father and elder brother for a bit, then noticed Lei Ning, who kept glancing over from not too far away.

Thinking of their agreement, Qin Ruan patted Huo Yunjiao’s hand, "I have something to deal with, I need to go over there for a moment."

She gestured to where Lei Ning was and whispered, "He’s from the Lei Family."

Huo Yunjiao glanced at the other person, hummed in agreement, "Go ahead."

Before Qin Ruan stood up, her slender, soft fingers gently brushed against the back of the third master’s hand, a seemingly unintentional move that was actually deliberate.

Huo Yunjiao’s deep, peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly. He reached out to catch Qin Ruan’s hand, holding it tightly in his palm.

Not expecting her hand to be caught, Qin Ruan looked back, her eyes expressing confusion.

Her eyes, blank, would easily reveal the mirth in them to anyone who looked closely.

Huo Yunjiao raised an eyebrow and smiled, squeezed her hand, and stood up, saying warmly to Qin Anguo and Qin Jingcen, "Father-in-law, big brother, Ruanruan wants to meet a friend, I’ll accompany her over."

Qin Anguo stood up, his expression beaming, "Go ahead, I need to get up and move around myself."

With the consent, Huo Yunjiao and Qin Ruan left hand in hand.

Their retreating figures seemed harmonious, but no one saw the small movements of their hands.

Huo Yunjiao held Qin Ruan’s hand, his fingertips playfully scratching the center of her palm. When she attempted to grip his hand tightly, he pressed down on the back of her hand, neither too harshly nor too lightly, making her release it.

He hadn’t expected Qin Ruan to be so bold to hook his finger in front of her father-in-law and brother.

Today was a day both of them were well aware of.

Some things were destined to happen tonight.

Huo Yunjiao didn’t lead Qin Ruan towards Lei Ning but pulled her into a resting room instead.

The door was pushed open, and they quickly slipped inside.

The door closed forcefully, emitting a muffled sound.

Qin Ruan hadn’t stabilized her footing yet when she was pushed against the door, bumping into the deliberately protective palm behind her.

She raised her eyes to look into the man’s soul-stealing, deep and dangerous eyes, "Third Master?"

Huo Yunjiao rubbed her head soothingly, bowing his head towards those unsettling, red lips.

The kiss was a brief brush, a touch and then retreat.

The man’s nose, slightly lifted, rubbed against Qin Ruan’s delicate nose, his voice slightly hoarse, "Girl, are you tempting me?"

Qin Ruan felt wronged inside, swallowed hard, and said unnaturally, "I just wanted you to meet Lei Ning with me, to give him some peace of mind."

Huo Yunjiao looked at her lips that parted and met, his throat tightening a bit.

He reminisced that brief kiss, the coolness of her lips slightly tickling, enticing him to continue.

Qin Ruan, completely restrained in his embrace, was like prey under the claws of a beast, with nowhere to escape.

Her eyes trembled as she gazed into Huo Yunjiao’s, as if sensing his desire. Qin Ruan tiptoed and leaned in proactively.

Their lips and teeth met again, intermingling, releasing a low, muffled sound.

"Third Master... Lei Ning is still waiting..."

Mentioning another man at this moment was a complete provocation to the Third Master Huo.

Holding Qin Ruan’s waist, their bodies pressed close without any gap between them.

The sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a bright glare over them, coating them in a radiant, golden glow. Their side profiles were as pale as porcelain dolls’, their gazes reflecting each other’s became increasingly close.

Not until Qin Ruan’s breaths became scarce, to the point where she could hardly breathe, did Huo Yunjiao finally let her go.

He touched her cheek with his, whispering in her ear, "Be good now, I’ll pamper you later tonight."

Qin Ruan’s chin rested on his bent shoulder, her lips parted moistly and feebly, "We should go out first."

Unsure if anyone had seen them when they came in.

If they were found to be inside for too long, who knows what others would think.
