Chapter 929: Chapter 929: Ruanruan, if you act coquettishly again, I might just bully you

Upon learning of Madam’s arrival in Sea City, the master had arranged the itinerary to Sea City.

Huo Zhi had learned this news an hour ago.

Huo Qi looked subconsciously at Awen, who was holding the sleeping Wu Fan, blocked by the Fu Family’s bodyguards at the entrance.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward, lowering his voice to instruct, "Hand him over to me, leave through the back door immediately, and notify Uncle Four and Third Master from Capital City, and have the family prepare!"

"Yes, Seventh Young Master!"

Awen handed Wu Fan over to Huo Qi’s arms and turned to dash toward the back door of the bar.

Huo Qi, holding Wu Fan, quickly followed Huo Zhi and Qin Ruan’s steps.

Just as they exited the bar, they saw the normally bustling street become deserted, the spacious street occupied by over a dozen low-key luxury cars.

Gazing at the Hidden Guards of the Huo Family that extended to the bar entrance, Huo Qi tightened his arms around Wu Fan, guessing that the commotion outside was no small matter, and feeling somewhat relieved that he had told Awen to leave through the back door.

In front of a black car in the middle of the road stood a man in a gray trench coat, hands pocketed, his piercing gaze fixated on the bar entrance through the late-night chill.

The faint streetlights cast their glow on the man’s sharply defined figure and chiseled features, and the rimless glasses on his nose only accentuated his noble and scholarly demeanor.

Seeing Qin Ruan leaning into Huo Zhi’s embrace, Huo Yunjiao, who had long known she was drunk, hooked the corner of his mouth.

He spread his arms and said in a gentle voice, "Ruanruan, come here."

Qin Ruan tilted her head, not recognizing him at all, innocence painted in her half-open, black eyes, as she remained motionless leaning on Huo Zhi’s shoulder.

Looking at her dazed expression, Huo Yunjiao showed a helpless face, then turned to look at Huo Yao and Huo Anqi, who weren’t sitting obediently inside the car, but were clinging to the window with two pairs of dark, shiny eyes peeking out.

He softly instructed, "Wait here quietly, don’t get out of the car."

The two little ones nodded vigorously.

Huo Yunjiao walked composedly toward Qin Ruan, a storm brewing in his eyes, while a gentle smile floated on his face.

He reached out to take Qin Ruan from Huo Zhi’s embrace. The strong, lingering scent of alcohol instantly filled his nostrils.

With empty hands, Huo Zhi knelt on one knee, "Master, I failed to take good care of Madam."

"Mmm... it smells good!"

Falling into Huo Yunjiao’s embrace, Qin Ruan nestled into his chest and sighed with appreciation.

Hearing her naive tone, as if she really liked his scent, Huo Yunjiao’s anger was appeased.

His deep eyes gazed at Qin Ruan’s slightly flushed, clean, harmless, and innocent little face, her long, dark brows framing captive eyes, glistening with moisture as if casting him enchanting glances.

Her drunken state made her seem even more tempting to bully.

Huo Yunjiao’s breath deepened a little, his gaze slightly downcast, his cool sight falling upon Huo Zhi.

"Rise, you are not to blame for this."

Why else would Qin Ruan run off to Sea City if not for the reason he knew all too well.

The girl was throwing a tantrum with him.

"Thank you, Master!"

Huo Zhi rose from the ground and stood with the aligned Hidden Guards of the Huo Family.

Huo Yunjiao gently stroked the hair of the person in his arms, eliciting an even greedier sniffing of his scent from Qin Ruan, charmingly docile like a little kitten.

His face carried a smile that was hard to suppress as he softly asked, "How much did you drink?"

His coarse fingertips caressed with sentimental fondness the corners of Qin Ruan’s eyes, the movements ambiguous and intimate.

Qin Ruan in his arms, with her hands wrapped around his slim waist, hummed twice, like a child wheedling for sweets.

Huo Yunjiao’s eyes softened, and he whispered close to her ear, "Ruanruan, keep acting spoiled and I might just take advantage of you."

The word "bully" reached Qin Ruan’s ears, causing her body to shiver subconsciously.

The memories of the past three days and nights were deeply etched in her mind.

Even now, drunk as she was, the fear ingrained in her soul made her instinctively want to flee.

But Huo Yunjiao wouldn’t let her escape, holding her tightly in his arms, while again he spoke softly to reassure, "Ruanruan be good, and you will not be bullied as long as you behave."

Qin Ruan’s moist, upward glance was naive and innocent as she looked at the man before her.

She inquired foolishly, "Really?"

Appealing charm manifested in her bright, alluring eyes, full of irresistible enchantment.

Huo Yunjiao’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, averting his gaze before he hummed a reply through his nose.

He was in trouble!

The girl had no idea how enticing she was in her current state.

Qin Ruan was indeed easy to coax. Hearing the Third Master assert he would not bully her, she burrowed deeper into his embrace.

Feeling reassured of her safety, she began to feel aggrieved, muttering something under her breath.

Huo Yunjiao lowered his head to listen but could not make out what she was saying.

He asked softly, "What was that?"

"It hurts—"

Qin Ruan’s low complaint reached Huo Yunjiao’s ear.

As she looked up at him, her eyes, red-rimmed and watery, wore an expression so pitiful it tugged at his heart.

He couldn’t resist and kissed Qin Ruan’s cheek before everyone, his voice soft and caring, "It won’t hurt anymore."

Not comforting her would have been better, as this comfort made Qin Ruan act like an unreasonable child.

She grabbed Huo Yunjiao’s collar, speaking fiercely, "I want to eat black beef tongue cookies, and I also want lobster noodles, you made me hurt, so you have to be nice to me!"

What kind of twisted logic was this?

Huo Sangye couldn’t help but suppress his laughter, unable to understand her thought process.

Following that, Qin Ruan added, "You are the first person who has made me hurt without getting beaten up by me, so, you must be nice to me!"

She firmly believed her logic was correct, nodding continuously.

Hearing this, Huo Yunjiao couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry. He bent down and cradled the little drunk cat in his arms, promising, "Alright, everything for you!"

His smile-filled eyes glanced at Huo Zhi, "You heard Madam’s words, go find them now."

Huo Zhi stepped forward, gave a bow, and took his two subordinates to leave.

Huo Yunjiao held the slowly calming down Qin Ruan in his arms, gently coaxing her with a low voice next to her ear.

Whatever he said, Qin Ruan’s large eyes blinked, her expression bewildered and innocent.

Huo Yunjiao spoke gently, "Will you come with me, okay?"

Qin Ruan blinked her large eyes, "Really, there will be delicious food?"

"Follow me and there will be delicious food."

"You better not lie to me."

"I won’t lie."

"Liars are puppies!"

Torn between being human and being a dog, Sangye helplessly nodded, "Alright—"

Finally, Qin Ruan nodded in agreement to come with him.

As she nodded, she bumped her head into the man’s solid chest.

Before Qin Ruan could exclaim in pain, Huo Yunjiao scooped her into his arms, wary of her causing more trouble due to her drunken state.

He carried his petite wife in his arms and strode toward the car where Huo Yao and Huo Anqi were.

Just as they were about to leave, Huo Qi immediately chased after them with Wu Fan in his arms.

"Sangye!"

Hearing the footsteps, Huo Yunjiao didn’t stop. He placed Qin Ruan in the car and covered her with the prepared blanket.

The two little guys in the car saw Qin Ruan and scrambled over her one after another.

With a slightly stern tone, Huo Yunjiao warned, "Take care of your mother, don’t bully her."

"Understood."

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi pledged in unison.

How could they bully their mother? It was clearly the father who had been bullying her all along, even making her cry before.

The two children looked at Qin Ruan with such pitiful eyes, almost on the verge of tears.

As Huo Qi caught up, he addressed the man speaking to the two children inside the car, "Sangye, it’s inconvenient for Sange to be fussing around in her current state. A room has already been prepared at home, why not stay the night and return to the Capital City after Sange wakes up?"

Huo Yunjiao looked at Qin Ruan sitting inside the car, her hands manhandling Huo Yao and Huo Anqi – now pulling ears, now patting heads, even pinching their noses.

She was clearly treating the two kids as oversized toys.

Seeing Qin Ruan’s behavior, Sangye rubbed his brow in resignation and told Huo Qi, "Then we’ll impose."

Huo Qi breathed a sigh of relief, saying it wasn’t a hassle at all, then carried Wu Fan towards the car he had driven in.

Fu Kun led his son and bodyguards outside only to see the imposing formation. When he noticed Huo Qi’s respectful demeanor toward the tall, elegant man standing in front of the car, he ruched over immediately.

He had only taken a few steps when he was stopped by the formidable and stern Hidden Guards of the Huo Family.

By now, Huo Qi had turned to leave, but Fu Kun, not caring for his own dignity, opened his mouth to shout, "Huo Sangye! Huo Sangye!!"

The car door had already been opened, and Huo Yunjiao was about to get in when he turned around slowly upon hearing the commotion.

Huo Qi, who had placed Wu Fan in the car, also heard the disturbance from Fu Kun’s side.

He quickly approached Huo Yunjiao and briefed him on the evening’s events in a few words.

Huo Yunjiao, who had already been informed of the details through Huo Zhi, regarded Fu Kun and his entourage with a detached and chilly gaze, his brows slightly furrowing.

Even such a subtle movement, when noticed by Fu Kun, caused him to stand straighter reflexively, his hands clenched tight.

Swallowing his nerves, he spoke with a tremor, "Sangye, this evening’s incident was a misunderstanding!"

A cold, chilling smile appeared on Huo Yunjiao’s lips, his voice very light, "Since entering the Capital City, the Fu Family has always been well-behaved, ambitious but with good restraint; low-key in personal matters but high-profile in business, they’ve never lost sight of their place.

"You, on the other hand, have been throwing your weight around in Sea City, arrogantly overstepping your bounds without fear of tarnishing their name!"

The usually measured words of Sangye were particularly heavy this time.

It was as if he was pointing at Fu Kun’s nose and asking, "What do you take yourself for?"

Fu Kun’s heart turned cold in an instant, his body stiffened with fear, barely able to breathe.

Thinking of his son, bloodied, he choked up and begged, "Sangye! It’s truly a misunderstanding, Ziqiu is not a bad kid. Though he’s lived a life of indulgence over the years, he’s never done anything evil!"

Huo Yunjiao’s expression remained unmoved, his gaze devoid of any warmth, "And how do you explain tonight’s incident?"

Fu Kun, knowing his son’s true nature and realizing tonight’s trouble, gritted his teeth and dropped to his knees, kneeling on the spot.

"Tonight, he was so drunk he lost his senses. He offended Madam Huo; it’s all his fault. I will make him kowtow and apologize to Madam when we return. Please forgive him this once, I only have this one son, I beg you to spare him!"

He cried with tear-streaked face and running nose, looking utterly disheveled.
