Chapter 809: Chapter 809: In Life She Belongs to the Huo Family, In Death She is the Huo Family’s Puppet

Huo Yunjiao didn’t know Qin Ruan was shy, afraid others might guess what they had done in the rest room.

He wrapped his arms around the waist of the person in his embrace, their bodies fitting together tightly, "I’ve let you off again and again, I always feel like something is going to go wrong tonight. How about I take care of you right now?"

"..." Qin Ruan panicked for a moment, looking up in surprise.

Take care?

What kind of taking care?

She twitched the corner of her lips, feeling as if the air around her had solidified.

Huo Yunjiao’s affectionate eyes held a profound meaning as he gazed at the person in his arms, the danger in his eyes pressing inch by inch.

Being gazed at so deeply by these eyes, Qin Ruan suddenly forgot everything; her heartstrings were disturbed by the affection in his eyes.

Like a spring breeze passing by, blooming flowers everywhere, truly sinking in and unable to extricate herself.

Huo Yunjiao caressed the waist in his palm, his gaze fixed on Qin Ruan, detecting a bit of panic and helplessness in her expression.

His other hand rested on Qin Ruan’s face, tracing lightly with his fingertips, his movements gentle and light.

His dark gaze fell on her red lips, and he couldn’t help but lean down, inching closer.

Qin Ruan instinctively closed her eyes.

Their lips met, intertwining with teeth and dancing tongues.

Although both were experienced, this kiss inadvertently carried tenderness and innocence, their quivering hearts nearly bursting from their chests.

Qin Ruan’s hand rested on the young master’s shoulder, her strength feeling drained.

Her legs weakened, her mind foggy, and if she didn’t hold onto him, she felt she might fall.

Huo Yunjiao continued to watch Qin Ruan, his lips slowly moving to her cheeks, then the tip of her nose, and then the center of her forehead.

With his lips worshiping, tender and lingering, it was breath-taking.

Through the fine and comfortable fabric of the custom-made dress, there was an embroidered rose at the hip, covered by their closely pressed bodies.

Embracing each other closely, it was hard to ignore the oddity and impossible to deceive.

Ignoring the slight pain, Qin Ruan murmured softly, "Third Master..."

The lips that played havoc on her face moved away to her ear.

The next moment, the earlobe was gently bitten.

Qin Ruan’s body trembled, her ears heating up and turning red immediately.

The beast Huo Yunjiao had kept imprisoned was completely unleashed, his breathing became unsteady, and he stood on the edge of danger, ready at any moment to extend his claws toward Qin Ruan and press her under them.

His strong self-control allowed him to release his arms around Qin Ruan, his hand ambiguously patting her lower back, his voice hoarse, "Ruanruan, you go out first."

If she didn’t leave now, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t devour her.

The pain at Qin Ruan’s hip bone made it clear to her just how dangerous the man before her was.

She moved her body back, distancing herself, her gaze downcast.

She immediately found the culprit causing the discomfort at her hip bone.

Under Qin Ruan’s scrutiny, Huo Yunjiao’s temple pulsated fiercely.

He almost growled a warning, "Ruanruan!"

This girl truly didn’t know the meaning of courting death.

If she kept looking, he would chew her up alive!

"I’m going out first!"

Qin Ruan, catching the hidden danger in the young master’s gritted teeth, turned around, pulled open the door, and ran out.

The door was shut, leaving the disheveled young master, Huo, alone in the room.

On that captivating face, a bead of sweat slowly slid down, resting on his sexy jaw.

As time passed, it finally fell onto the carpet at her feet.

Qin Ruan had just stepped out of the rest room when she saw Lei Ning standing not far away.

He was tall and slim, with a gentle and elegant demeanor, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.

Seeing Qin Ruan emerging from the rest room with a flustered expression and flushed cheeks, he was first taken aback but soon displayed a look of realization.

Qin Ruan hadn’t expected to see Lei Ning upon coming out and immediately realized that he had been waiting for her.

She quickly adjusted her expression, the flush on her cheeks faded, and the affection in her eyes retreated, replaced with shyness covered by a cool indifference before the eyes of the elder.

All these changes were completed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Ruan was once again the indifferent, aloof person in front of others, harboring a cold heart towards everything.

Lei Ning approached Qin Ruan with a smile, "Miss Qin."

His manner was devoid of any sycophancy.

Qin Ruan nodded at him, and thinking of the elder still in the rest room, she took the initiative, "Shall we talk over there?"

She pointed towards a rest area on the right.

Lei Ning naturally wouldn’t refuse, "Sure—"

The rest area was already occupied. Qin Mei, Lu Yichen, and Rong Jing were sitting in a corner talking softly.

Rong Jing propped his chin, his tone casual but somewhat serious, "Qin Mei, I really can’t help with this matter. If you ask me about the prices of those young male and female celebrities in the entertainment industry, I know them quite well.

As for making a place in the entertainment industry, that’s more difficult. As you know, the waters are too deep. It’s easy to enter, but resources are hard to get. I’m just an unlearned prodigal who loves beauties and can’t ensure protection for your people."

Qin Mei lounged with his legs crossed, his tone casual, "Just find a way to get the person in; once inside, he probably won’t be bullied."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yichen couldn’t suppress his curiosity, "Who exactly is it that has you so concerned?"

Qin Mei’s expression was indecisive, happy or unhappy, leaning back on the sofa, "I’m not familiar with him. He saved my Xueqiu, and I owe him a favor."

Rong Jing was somewhat speechless, "What favor? Just send him off to the entertainment industry and give him some money."

These words were straightforward, but it was the easiest way to repay a favor.

Qin Mei: "He doesn’t want money, he just wants to enter the entertainment industry."

Qin Ruan approached, calling out, "Second brother."

Their conversation had already reached her ears.

Qin Mei immediately stood up, smiling broadly, "Ruanruan, how come you’re here?"

Qin Ruan walked over to him, greeted Lu Yichen and Rong Jing, and then introduced Lei Ning who was standing behind her.

Perhaps her casual tone was detailed in introducing Lei Ning’s identity, which led Lu Yichen and Rong Jing to glance at him with slightly profound meanings.

The Lei Family, which they had not heard of, being introduced by Qin Ruan at their side was no simple matter.

Qin Ruan sat down next to her second brother, "I just heard you mention Xueqiu had an incident?"

Xueqiu was a cat demon, and in her view, it was unlikely to owe anyone any favors.

It was more realistic that people were played by it.

Qin Mei sighed, slowly recounting, "A while back on the night of the full moon, Xueqiu somehow fainted. I was driving it to the hospital when I accidentally hit someone.

Since I hit the person, I had to take them to the hospital to get checked out. In the middle of the night, I took both a cat and a person to the hospital. I don’t know how he did it, but on the way to the hospital, he touched Xueqiu’s forehead and it woke up!

I took that person to the hospital but no injuries were found; I thought to give him some money, but he refused. When I asked if he was in any trouble, he only said he wanted to enter the entertainment industry and become a star."

Rong Jing smirked, "You might have encountered a scammer specifically targeting you."

Lu Yichen also looked incredulous, "I didn’t realize Qin Mei was so kind-hearted."

Qin Mei, as if he hadn’t noticed the mockery in their words, "You’d understand once you meet him. He’s no scammer, seems a bit out of touch with society."

Qin Ruan pondered more and speculated that the individual might belong to the same kind as Xueqiu, or some other supernatural being, "Do you know his name?"

"I do!" Qin Mei’s eyes twinkled with amusement, "The man’s name is Changyuan, with long hair past his waist, and he’s quite good-looking too. If you didn’t know better, you’d think he came straight out of the deep woods..."

"Are you sure his name is Changyuan?!"

Qin Ruan interrupted her older brother, her delicate and charming makeup momentarily distorted.

Qin Mei noticed his younger sister’s odd expression, and his smile tightened. "Yes, he said his name is Changyuan."

Qin Ruan took a deep breath. "Where is he?"

Qin Mei’s voice lowered. "I’ve arranged for him to stay at a hotel."

Qin Ruan’s red lips curved up, her voice icy cold. "Bring him here right now, tell him I want to see him."

Qin Mei sensed something amiss. "Do you know him?"

Qin Ruan’s face showed a cold smile, her tone dangerously full. "He might even be an old acquaintance."

Lu Yichen added fuel to the fire, not afraid of making things worse. "Could he actually be a fraud?"

"Get lost!" Qin Mei threw a cushion from the sofa at him and turned to Qin Ruan. "I don’t want to owe him any favors."

If Changyuan was an acquaintance of his younger sister, handling the subsequent matters would be easier.

Qin Mei got up and walked towards the banquet hall’s exit.

Qin Ruan called out to stop him. "Older brother!"

"Hmm?"

Provoked by Lu Yichen, the gloominess on Qin Mei’s face faded, replaced by a gentle handsomeness.

Qin Ruan asked, "Which hotel is Changyuan staying at?"

"Imperial Court Hotel."

"Are you going to pick him up personally?"

Thinking of Changyuan’s uniqueness, Qin Mei nodded. "That guy doesn’t like dealing with strangers."

Qin Ruan tapped her fingertips on the armrest of the sofa, her expression worried. "Imperial Court Hotel isn’t far from here, have someone accompany you."

Changyuan was the ancient fierce beast Hook Snake, and she was worried about her older brother’s safety.

Qin Mei reflexively refused. "No need, I can handle it myself."

Lu Yichen stood up. "I’ll go with you."

Qin Mei scoffed. "Are you that kind-hearted?"

Lu Yichen grinned, jokingly, "Don’t be ungrateful."

Qin Mei sneered. "As if I’d care!"

Lu Yichen’s eyebrows raised slightly, unconcerned. "Just consider me a misguided do-gooder."

"Pfft! As if I’d care!"

Qin Mei turned and walked away, with Lu Yichen following behind him.

Watching the two bicker as they left, Rong Jing asked Qin Ruan, "There won’t be any danger, right?"

Qin Ruan shook her head. "Changyuan is a friend I know."

She didn’t mention whether there would be danger or not, and Rong Jing didn’t press further.

Qin Ruan was curious about how Changyuan, always loyally following Xia Yunchen, came to get involved with her older brother.

Lei Ning suddenly spoke up. "Should I send someone to follow them, just in case?"

His eyes focused on Qin Ruan, deep and inscrutable.

Qin Ruan turned and looked at him, the apprehension and anticipation in his eyes fully visible.

If she accepted Lei Ning’s suggestion, it would mean tacitly accepting the allegiance of the Lei Family, and in the future, they would serve her.

Under the scrutiny of Qin Ruan’s probing eyes, Lei Ning did not shy away, his gaze firm.

Qin Ruan relented. "Fine, you handle it."

Lei Ning’s eyes flashed with brilliance as a radiant smile appeared on his refined and elegant face, "I’ll go right now!"

Only Qin Ruan and Rong Jing were left in the rest area.

Although Rong Jing indulged in all kinds of pleasures, he was no fool and could tell that something was off between Qin Ruan and Lei Ning.

Watching Lei Ning’s excited expression as he left, Rong Jing speculated somewhat.

Rong Jing didn’t beat around the bush in front of Qin Ruan, and asked directly, "When did the Lei Family cling onto your coattails?"

Qin Ruan smiled, "You flatter me, the Lei Family was actually aiming for the Huo Family."

"Everyone knows that after today, you will be one of the Huo Family," Rong Jing sat up straight, leaned in close to Qin Ruan, and said meaningfully, "How did the Lei Family get in touch with you? Let’s get one thing straight first—your coattails were mine to cling onto first. I hope the young madam won’t forget the old favorite for a new one."

Qin Ruan found it both funny and sad, "What you’re saying sounds a bit off."

It made her sound like a heartbreaker.

"Hey, I’m just worried that the young madam will forget about me, after all, we’ve known each other for a longer time. I’m just being cautious," he said.

After finishing his sentence, Rong Jing nodded toward the crowd in the banquet hall and whispered, "See these people? They will all try to ingratiate themselves with you in the future."

Qin Ruan remained unpleased yet unruffled, her tone indifferent, "Why have I heard then, that many are waiting to see the Huo Family kick me out and laugh at my misfortune?"

Rong Jing rolled his eyes, "Come on, you hold a position by virtue of your son now, you’ve already been branded as one of the Huo Family. Some people can’t see the reality and can only stir up trouble with their words."

Qin Ruan quite liked his straightforward nature, "From the sound of it, you seem quite confident in me?"

"That’s reality, clear as day," Rong Jing looked straight into Qin Ruan’s smiling eyes, "Do you know that after today, you will be part of the Huo Family for the rest of your life, and even in death, you will be the Huo Family’s puppet?"

Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"

Rong Jing swung his leg, trying to keep his show-off tendency calm, and said in a controlled voice, "Today, the Huo Family will add two children to the family registry, your and the children’s names will be written behind Huo Zhi’s.

The family registry holds extraordinary significance for a family; even as an outsider, once your name is recorded in it, in life you belong to the Huo Family, and in death, you are the Huo Family’s puppet."

Qin Ruan frowned, "How do you know?"

She had no clue about this, and nobody had told her.

Rong Jing tipped his chin up bit by bit, "My cousin told me."

An image of a pair of mandarin duck’s eyes appeared in Qin Ruan’s mind, "Rong Menglan?"

Rong Jing nodded, "He told me in the car on the way here."

Thinking that he had also only recently found out and was showing off in front of Qin Ruan, he somewhat sheepishly touched his nose.

Qin Ruan’s eyelids drooped, her face revealing deep contemplation.

Huo Zhi quickly ran over from the left, leaning close to Qin Ruan, her tone anxious, "Madam! The patriarch is asking for you!"

Qin Ruan’s delicate eyebrows knitted together, "Hm? What happened?"

Huo Zhi lowered her voice, "The Yan Family Head coughed up blood and fainted."

Qin Ruan immediately stood up, a hint of panic flashed in her dark eyes, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Her palm-sized face grew somber, "Where is he?"

Huo Zhi, "In the VIP room, Doctor Chen has already been called."

Qin Ruan nodded to Rong Jing, talking very fast, "I have something else to attend to, we’ll talk later."

Rong Jing stood up, very understanding, "Go ahead if the young madam has things to handle, I’ll go find some fun too."

Qin Ruan and Huo Zhi hurried off toward the VIP room, on the way encountering Huo Yunjiao, who had already composed himself.

Seeing Qin Ruan’s troubled expression, he stepped forward to block her path, "What happened?"

Huo Zhi reported, "The Yan Family Head had an incident."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yunjiao also grew solemn.

Without questioning why the Yan Family Head had an incident or why Qin Ruan looked so unusual, he just held her hand, conveying silent comfort.

The two on their way to the VIP room became three.
