Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Want to Live Off Madam Huo San’s Wealth

Qin Ruan saw Changyuan not moving and thought he was still obsessed with Xia Yunchen’s incident, "You go back and rest first, I’ll come to you tomorrow, I won’t go back on my word."

Changyuan withdrew his intense gaze that had been locked onto Third Master Huo.

This man, born with the air of a king, looked down at him with ease, stirring a combative spirit in his very bones.

He gazed deeply at Qin Ruan, said nothing, and turned away very coldly.

Huo Yunjiao watched the retreating figures of Changyuan and Huo Qiang, his thin lips pressed into a line, his eyes cold and sharp.

An unusual sensation came from his chest, he looked down and saw Qin Ruan poking him with her finger.

Qin Ruan’s eyes were hazy, filled with sleepy moisture, "Third Master, I’m tired."

"Okay, let’s go back to sleep."

Third Master Huo quickly carried his delicate wife back to the bedroom.

Once again lying in bed, Qin Ruan rolled over with the blanket, moving away from the dangerous feeder beside her — Third Master Huo.

The following night, her dreams were chaotic and tangled, trapping Qin Ruan like hemp ropes.

In her dreams, her appetite was aroused, her hunger intense, endlessly fed by Third Master Huo with delicacies from land and sea.

Her stomach was already overfilled, bloated with pain; eating any more would truly make her vomit.

But Third Master Huo still forced her to eat, for fear she would starve.

Qin Ruan could only force herself to eat vigorously, wishing she could burst her stomach.

In the dream, she was more timid, unable even to utter words of refusal, fearing anorexia, which made her dread exquisite dishes from then on, leaving her no choice but to flee.

But how could she ever best Third Master Huo?

Every getaway, before she could even feel complacent, she’d be caught by the ankle, pulled into an endless dark abyss.

Dragged into an endless ravine once more, Qin Ruan was struck with terror, nearly to the point of bursting.

In her heart she screamed, "My fate is sealed!"

The superior Third Master Huo found this overwhelmingly satisfying, his demonic countenance bursting into a stunning smile.

He squinted his eyes, and said to Qin Ruan gently,

"Ruanruan, now you know the feeling of being full? From now on, I will make sure you never endure the hardship of an empty stomach."

It was this sentence that jolted Qin Ruan completely awake from her dream.

She opened her bright eyes, still tinged with fear.

What met her eyes was the familiar bedroom, her rapid breathing unusually clear, the room almost silent.

Qin Ruan closed her eyes in fear, soothing the shock she had experienced in her dream.

She didn’t know what was happening these past few days, always dreaming of all sorts of muddled things.

Occasionally she dreamed of certain images, but upon waking, she couldn’t remember them clearly, no matter how hard she tried to recall them, they left no trace.

She sighed softly, stretching a hand out from under the blanket to grope around beside her.

Knowing Third Master Huo had already left the bed, she didn’t expect to touch something.

Qin Ruan opened her eyes and saw the exquisite gift boxes piled beside the bed.

These were the birthday gifts given by acquaintances at the birthday party yesterday.

Thinking of the birthday party, Qin Ruan’s gaze darkened.

She and her older brother shared the same birthday, yet yesterday, the Huo Family did not invite her brother to celebrate with her.

Ever since she was brought back from the poor district of West City to the Qin Family, Qin Mei had stopped celebrating his birthday, both as a debt and as compensation.

Ironically, the gift box Qin Ruan touched was the one prepared by Qin Mei.

She sat up, unwrapped the beautifully packaged gift box, and soon a thoughtfully prepared gift was revealed.

A bracelet studded with tiny diamonds, a high-end luxury brand domestically.

The diamond fragments on the bracelet were small, each precisely cut and meticulously inlaid with dozens of diamonds.

Don’t be fooled by the small diamonds on top, cutting them takes a considerable amount of effort, and the craftsmanship involved in setting small diamonds is extremely complex. It requires experienced setters, who, through prolonged and meticulous work, can create high-quality, beautiful diamond jewelry.

The diamond bracelet on Qin Ruan’s hand features a complex design and may take several months to complete. The price of this handmade creation from its brand isn’t just about the value of a few dozen loose diamonds anymore.

Qin Ruan smiled fondly; the birthday gift her second brother had prepared for her was nothing short of thoughtful. This bracelet must have cost him nearly half a year’s worth of pocket money.

Thinking of the birthday gift Xiaoxuan had prepared for her, Qin Ruan sifted through a pile of exquisitely wrapped gift boxes.

She remembered the outer packaging was purple, and she quickly found the gift prepared by the other party at the bottom of the pile.

The moment she opened the gift box, Qin Ruan’s face turned instantly red.

The gift prepared for her was a... cat tail.

Next to the tail, there was also a manual remote control, complete with usage instructions.

The snow-white cat tail looked even prettier than Xueqiu’s, and the fluffy tip made one tempted to touch and feel it.

Qin Ruan swallowed hard and with a snap, closed the box lid.

She gritted her teeth and called out Xiaoxuan’s name, her voice full of embarrassed anger.

If the other party had been in front of her, she might have had the impulse to sharpen knives ominously in their direction.

Having just been cleaned out in a particularly brutal process, seeing the gift from the other party made Qin Ruan’s blood pressure shoot up.

In the quiet room, the light and comfortable ringtone of a cellphone rang.

Qin Ruan casually picked up the cellphone from the nightstand.

Seeing the caller ID, she sneered and answered the call.

"Qin Ruan, I’ve been kicked out of the house. I’m penniless now, please take me in!!!"

Before Qin Ruan could inquire about the gift, Xiaoxuan’s miserable wails came through the phone.

Qin Ruan furrowed her brows, "What happened?"

She could detect the feigned misery mixed with ease in Xiaoxuan’s tone.

In a pitiful voice, Xiaoxuan said, "I’m not actually a blood relative of the Ling family. After confessing to them last night, naturally, I can’t keep clinging to things that aren’t mine..."

She hadn’t finished her sentence when a series of harsh car horns blared.

Qin Ruan moved the phone away, waiting for the noise to subside. Once it was quiet again, she put the phone back to her ear and asked, "Where are you now?"

Xiaoxuan whimpered, "I’m wandering on the streets. If I don’t find a place tonight, I’ll have to sleep on the streets."

Qin Ruan didn’t buy it for a second and scoffed, "Even if you’re down on your luck, Miss Xia, don’t all your well-bred acquaintances mean you have places to stay?"

A brief silence fell on the other end of the phone, with the sound of cars honking in the background, though not as jarring as before.

It wasn’t long before Qin Ruan heard Xiaoxuan jokingly reply, "Let’s not beat around the bush; I’m penniless now and want to depend on Madam Huo and live off your charity."

Qin Ruan relaxed her body, leaning against the headboard. She raised an eyebrow, "Sister, the charity meals I offer aren’t tasty."

Xiaoxuan was flexible, "Just feeding me is enough!"

Qin Ruan, "Send me your address, I’ll have someone pick you up."

"Alright! Thanks for the meal, Madam Huo."

With this diversion, Qin Ruan forgot about the snow-white cat tail that had been prepared for her.

After hanging up the call, she saw the bothersome gift in front of her.

She secretly gritted her teeth, vowing to make the other party pay someday.

Ling Zeheng and Xiaoxuan would eventually become an item; revenge is a dish best served cold.

"Meow..."

A meowing sound came from the doorway.

Qin Ruan lifted her eyes to see Xueqiu swaying its cat tail, stepping silently into the room.

And the person standing at the doorway was none other than her second brother.
