Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Master Huo: Ruanruan, We Both Need to be Well

Qin Ruan might not have realized how tense her face was at that moment, the obsession in her eyes shocked Huo Yunjiao.

His instinct told him that something bad had happened.

At that moment, all he wanted to do was to comfort her as much as possible.

Upon hearing his words, Qin Ruan nodded slightly without making a sound, her eyes slightly downcast, hiding a sinister look.

It was as if her mind was filled with tangled threads, and she was trying to find the source of those threads.

Then, a hand slowly traced along her back and stopped at the small of her back.

Qin Ruan’s mouth slightly opened, all thoughts in her mind stopped abruptly, and she involuntarily took a light breath.

Huo Yunjiao didn’t give her a chance to refuse and pulled her into his embrace.

Qin Ruan fell directly into his arms, a deep voice with little warmth sounded in her ear, "Ruanruan, I don’t like you like this."

She didn’t understand, "Hmm?"

"Your face full of thoughts, making me unable to guess what you’re thinking, you’re hiding something from me."

Huo Yunjiao’s voice was deep, his tone certain.

Qin Ruan, smelling the familiar scent of deep wood, felt less frantic and anxious, and replied calmly, "I encountered some issues, and I can’t quite figure them out."

Uncle’s voice turned soft as gentle water, "Will you tell me about it?"

"I don’t know what it is, something is happening mysteriously, but I have forgotten about it."

As soon as Qin Ruan finished speaking, a coolly warm palm pressed against her forehead.

Huo Yunjiao touched her forehead, chuckled, and said, "You don’t have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

Qin Ruan got irritated, her body struggled to break free from his embrace.

"Be good, I’m not teasing you anymore."

Huo Yunjiao quickly held her tight, his voice soft and soothing.

He leaned in and kissed Qin Ruan’s cheek, his voice smiling, "You might be too tired, don’t overthink."

Qin Ruan lowered her gaze to look at him and asked, "Don’t you want to know who else is helping you besides me?"

"It’s not important who it is, what’s important is that I’m still alright now."

What Huo Yunjiao didn’t say was that since his childhood, the strange occurrences that had happened to him were numerous, and he had long since accustomed himself to them.

Uncle’s go-with-the-flow attitude made Qin Ruan feel conflicted, as if her worries were self-imposed.

"Baby, stop overthinking, it’s past midnight, happy New Year."

Qin Ruan blinked, all her worries vanishing with that blessing.

She curled her lips into a smile, softly saying, "Happy New Year."

Huo Yunjiao wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into the blankets, his voice hoarse, "Sleep, when you wake up, everything will be alright."

"Okay—"

Qin Ruan, smelling the familiar scent, slowly closed her eyes.

In the quiet night, someone quickly fell into a deep sleep, while another was destined to stay awake.

After what felt like a long time, once Qin Ruan’s breathing had become steady, Huo Yunjiao slowly opened his dark eyes.

He gazed quietly at Qin Ruan in his arms, observing her naive and bewildered face, and gently brushed away the hair stuck on her face, his movements unprecedentedly gentle.

Compared to Qin Ruan’s overthinking, his inner unease had not been soothed, and his heart palpitations continued.

The well-defined fingers caressed Qin Ruan’s cheek, touching each feature on her face.

Huo Yunjiao sighed softly in his heart, and left a restrained kiss on Qin Ruan’s cheek.

His thin lips parted, he murmured, "We both need to be alright."

...

The next day.

Qin Ruan was not woken by the noise of firecrackers, but by Huo Yao and Huo Anqi making a racket.

The two kids, one on each side, sat beside her, pulling on her arm, calling out "Mommy" next to her ear.

Huo Yao, "Mommy, it’s time to get up, we want to watch the firecrackers."

Huo Anqi, "Mommy—"

Qin Ruan’s long eyelashes quivered slightly, but she didn’t move.

Huo Yao, "Mommy, wake up, the sun’s up."

Huo Anqi, "Mommy—"

Qin Ruan frowned slightly, still not moving.

Huo Yao: "Mom, mom, time to get up, baby is hungry."

Huo Anqi: "Mom——"

The eldest son is a little chatterbox, constantly babbling.

The younger son was not much better, every time Huo Yao finished speaking, he would shout "mom" in Qin Ruan’s ear.

No matter how deeply Qin Ruan slept, she was woken up by the two little guys.

Her fine eyebrows furrowed, a look of irritation flashing across her face as she got annoyed by the disturbance.

She pulled her arm out from her sons’ grasp and covered her head with the blanket to continue sleeping.

Seeing this, Huo Yao and Huo Anqi had a blank look in their similar eyes, their little faces showing a silly expression.

The brothers glanced at each other and simultaneously reached out to pull the blanket off Qin Ruan.

This time they made no noise, pulling the blanket off Qin Ruan’s head with all their might.

Afterward, they remained silent, sitting quietly on the bed beside Qin Ruan, staring intently at her without blinking.

Feeling their gaze, Qin Ruan could no longer fall back to sleep, no matter how sleepy she was.

She took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully.

Eventually, she opened her drowsy eyes, and a devilish glint flashed through them under the daylight.

Qin Ruan looked toward the empty spot beside her, her voice hoarse as she asked, "Where’s your dad?"

Huo Yao, counting on his little fingers, replied, "Dad went for a check-up early this morning. Then, uncle and second uncle, as well as grandfather and great-grandfather, came. Dad went down to see them."

Huo Anqi added, "Dad came up to check on mom before going to meet great-grandfather and the others. He also said not to disturb mom."

Qin Ruan couldn’t help but laugh at this.

She sat up, pulling the two kids into her arms and said through gritted teeth, "Then why didn’t you listen to dad, and still came to disturb me?"

Her morning grumpiness didn’t completely dissipate just because she saw her two adorable sons.

Huo Yao said, "There are firecrackers outside, wanted to watch."

Huo Anqi said, "There’s a pretty lady downstairs."

The two children replied in unison.

Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Firecrackers? A pretty lady?"

At this moment, she had forgotten her melancholy from the day before, nor could she feel that uncontrollable residual aftereffect.

Hearing that the elders were downstairs, Qin Ruan began to feel restless.

As for the pretty lady, she was somewhat curious too.

Huo Anqi, seeing what was on her mind, blinked his big eyes and said, "The pretty lady we saw last night, the one who poked brother’s face."

Qin Ruan thought for a moment, "Su Jingshu?"

Huo Yao nodded, "That’s her!"

Qin Ruan looked down at her two sons, her gaze somewhat strange and her expression indescribable.

She asked, a bit concerned, "Is that lady very pretty?"

The two children were so young, yet they were already appreciating a beauty. Wasn’t it a bit too precocious?

A survival instinct made Huo Yao and Huo Anqi instantly close their mouths, thinking their mom might be jealous.

Qin Ruan, touching her chin, said offhandedly, "She is indeed quite beautiful."

Su Jingshu had a graceful and dignified demeanor, a calm temperament, and comported herself gracefully and confidently. She was the Su Family’s eldest daughter and the number one lady of Capital City.

If judged just by appearance, she was many people’s ideal image of a gentle wife.

Unfortunately, this woman had a heart colder than any man’s.

Qin Ruan began to worry about her sons’ future taste in daughters-in-law.

If they were to find someone like Su Jingshu, she was afraid she couldn’t handle it.

As Qin Ruan frowned, Huo Anqi immediately said, "Not as pretty as mom!"

Huo Yao also nodded vigorously: "Mom is the prettiest!"

"You rascals!"

Qin Ruan knew what they were thinking, ruffled their heads, then got up to put on her shoes.

She said, "Wait for me, I’ll take you downstairs in a bit."

Half an hour later, Qin Ruan, neatly dressed, went downstairs with the nanny carrying the two kids, one in front and one behind.

Downstairs, only Huo Yunjiao and Huo Yirong were sitting in the living room.
