Chapter 959: Chapter 959: After Pampering the Child, He Coaxes His Tender Wife

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Ruan’s gaze unintentionally met Huo Yunjiao’s teasing, deep eyes, and she guiltily shifted her eyes away.

Huo Yunjiao lifted a strand of her scattered hair from the bed and brought it to his nose to smell, asking softly, "Are you still mad at Ayao?"

When their youngest son was mentioned, Qin Ruan’s anger resurfaced, and her guilt vanished as she ground her teeth and said, "That brat dared to deceive me. Clearly, there was someone else who saved you, yet he insisted on keeping it from me.

He and Ayao are so young, yet they are so cunning already. Who knows how they will turn out when they grow up? Such bad habits must be corrected immediately!"

The fury in Qin Ruan’s heart flared up again.

Huo Yunjiao’s lips curved slightly as he rubbed her head, "It’s also my fault. The child might have been afraid to tell you."

Qin Ruan frowned at him, confusion appearing in her eyes: "Hmm?"

Huo Yunjiao explained, "I’ve experienced this situation before, just like the last time in the dark room. I’m not clear about who it was or what power helped me pull through."

Qin Ruan’s expression became stunned: "Why would Ayao and Anqi lie to me? Couldn’t they just tell me directly?"

With patience, Huo Yunjiao explained, "It’s not really lying to you. After I passed out from the pain, I faintly heard Ayao and Anqi talking with Lin Hao.

At first, I thought it was a hallucination. After all, Anqi was so young, who would have thought he had such a rare talent, knowing so little yet able to protect his old father."

His words were teasing and self-deprecating, yet filled with immense pride.

Qin Ruan was unconvinced, her eyebrows knitting together: "Even if Anqi did something at the start, with his power, he couldn’t possibly control the Purple Energy and Evil Qi battling inside your body."

Huo Yunjiao chuckled softly, his voice low and gentle: "Regardless of whether it was Anqi or not, I’m fine now, and there’s no need to investigate further. I’ve gotten used to it over the years."

Qin Ruan’s gaze was piercing, staring at the man beside her: "But I’m still angry about Ayao and Anqi hiding it from me."

To the third master, her little temper not only didn’t provoke anger but seemed naively adorable and made him more tender-hearted than either of his sons.

His mouth quirked lightly, and he unfolded his tender strategy: "They are still just children. We can’t hold them to adult standards. We need to be more forgiving towards them.

Of course, they should also be given the courage to admit their mistakes. We cannot indulge this incident. I will definitely help you discipline them properly. Let’s not stoop to a child’s level. Ruanruan is already so grown up."

Huo Yunjiao’s earlier words resonated with Qin Ruan, but his last remark irritated her.

She glanced sidelong at the third master, narrowing her eyes slightly as she asked, "Are you taking their side because you think I’m being petty?"

The age difference nearly prevented the third master from tuning in to Qin Ruan’s wavelength.

A flash of astonishment crossed Huo Yunjiao’s striking, chiseled face before quickly steadying, as he quickly spoke to reassure her: "How could I? I’m just worried it would be bad for your health."

Words alone weren’t enough, so he lowered his head and kissed Qin Ruan on the face, with an audible smooch.

Heat bloomed where he kissed, and Qin Ruan hummed softly with her mouth, but said no more.

The anger in her heart had already been soothed by the few words of the third master.

Huo Yunjiao leaned down, his cool lips capturing her slightly parted, reddening lips.

As their lips met, their breaths intertwined.

The air was filled with a subtle scent of deep wood and a hard-to-describe, blush-inducing, flirtatious ambiance.

The third master whispered softly and coaxingly, "Is Ruanruan not angry anymore, is that okay?"

His voice was deep and enticing, his handsome face exuding sensual allure, and his deep, gentle eyes were truly captivating.

Qin Ruan’s heart skipped a beat, and she nervously licked her lips.

It was such an unintentional action, yet her lips brushed against a cool temperature.

Huo Yunjiao thought she was asking for it, his eyes brimming with amusement, deepening their intimate kiss.

At such a warm and ambiguous moment, Qin Ruan’s stomach began to play the tune of an empty city.

The hand that was already placed on her waist, ready to touch her warm skin, stopped right there.

Huo Yunjiao put away the languid ease spreading through his body, and the flame in his eyes faded along with it.

He looked at Qin Ruan with calm eyes and teased in a low voice, "I forgot my Ruanruan hasn’t had breakfast yet. Come on, let’s go eat."

Without giving Qin Ruan a chance to argue, he grasped her hand a little harder and pulled her up from the bed.

Qin Ruan sat on the edge of the bed unmoving, her little hand hooked around his palm, her voice soft as she said, "You heard it just now, the Underworld King has given me a new task."

Huo Yunjiao bent down, his fingertip wiping away the moisture at the corner of her lips, his expression seemingly amused, his voice still as gentle as ever, "Do you want to go?"

"I do!" Qin Ruan nodded vigorously.

Just one word, filled with the tone of whining, could soften even the hardest heart that heard it, unable to refuse her.

When it concerned matters of life, Qin Ruan definitely wouldn’t let it slip by.

Her little hand scratched at the center of the palm of his hand, yet her eyes dared not meet the man before her.

Huo Yunjiao observed Qin Ruan silently, taking in every bit of longing in her eyes and anticipation on her face.

He pursed his lips slightly and said, "You can go, but first, don’t be mad at Ayao and Anqi anymore. They’ve been crying."

Qin Ruan wrinkled her nose, her words honest and straightforward, "After all is said and done, you still feel bad for them."

Huo Yunjiao pinched her nose tip and sighed softly, "You heartless thing, I’ve been coaxing you for so long, worried that you’d be upset and harm yourself. You should know, you’re not as easy to mollify as Ayao and Anqi."

The doting voice, filled with compromise, trembled deep in Qin Ruan’s heart as she heard it.

Her gaze flickered, as she stubbornly said, "All said and done, you’re still finding fault with me."

"How the jealousy of children still eats at you," Huo Yunjiao couldn’t help but laugh and cry, pulling on her hand, "Let’s go, let’s eat first, and we can talk about anything else."

Qin Ruan remained sitting on the edge of the bed, unmoved.

Huo Yunjiao knew her temperament well and decided not to give her an answer, bending over to scoop her up in his arms and walking out the door.

As they just stepped out of the room, they saw Huo Yao and Huo Anqi standing in the corridor.

The two little ones had shimmering eyes and trembling lips, looking at Qin Ruan with anxious expressions.

Their pitiful and eager looks immediately softened Qin Ruan’s heart, but she thought she couldn’t just forgive them so easily.

She kept a stern face, her voice serious as she said, "From now on, no more lying to Mom. If there’s a next time, I’ll let you know what ’bamboo shoot stir-fried with meat’ is."

Huo Yao blinked his eyes, innocently unaware, and asked, "Is it something to eat?"

Qin Ruan, with her arms around Yunjiao’s neck and her head leaning against his chest, smiled meaningfully at the two kids.

Amid their heightened curiosity, she explained, "Bamboo shoot stir-fried with meat, academically known as flogging, is a form of punishment for naughty children."

Huo Yao covered his little mouth with his hand, taking two fear-stricken steps back.

Even Huo Anqi looked shocked.

Seeing them so scared, Huo Yunjiao followed up with a reminder, "Haven’t you apologized to Mom yet? As long as you’re good in the future, you won’t be punished."
