Chapter 983: Chapter 983: Clinging to Qin Ruan’s Coattails: Daddy, Save Me!

Qin Anguo heard this and showed a pleased expression on his face.

He released Qin Ruan’s hand and said to Huo Yunjiao, "It’s good to hear that. Now that the child’s aunt is back, you should head back early and not keep anyone waiting."

Huo Yunjiao, with his graceful demeanor, showed an apologetic expression and sincerely said, "We didn’t know in advance that aunt would be back. Another day, Ruanruan and I will bring the children to visit you again."

Qin Anguo walked up to them, pinched Huo Yao and Huo Anqi’s tender cheeks, and said, "It doesn’t matter whether you come or not, just send Ayao and Anqi to stay with me for a few days."

Qin Ruan stepped forward and said to the two sons, "Ayao, Anqi, say goodbye to your grandfather."

"Goodbye, Grandfather."

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi raised their chubby little hands and waved.

Qin Anguo adored them tremendously, wishing he could snatch the children away, but unfortunately, they were not his grandsons, and he found no reason to monopolize them.

He sighed internally and waved to the family of four in front of him: "You all can go now—"

Before leaving, Qin Ruan once again assured, "Dad, I’ll bring the children to visit you in a few days."

Qin Anguo smiled, squinting his eyes: "Good, I’ll be waiting for you."

Huo Qiang and the others, brought the Emperor Green Jade Stone from He Mingjin, along with the New Year gifts prepared by the Huo Family, to the Qin Family’s hall, and quickly returned to their respective cars.

Under the watchful eyes of the Qin father and sons along with the Cat Demon Xueqiu, the Huo Family’s convoy quickly disappeared from sight.

Qin Anguo’s smile gradually faded, and as he thought of something, he suddenly turned to his eldest son.

"Jingcen, when are you and Ayan planning to get married? You’re almost thirty, and Old Man Li’s family already has grandchildren. When do you plan to let me experience the joy of having grandchildren?"

Qin Jingcen and Qin Mei’s expressions changed upon hearing this.

Hu Yixian’s identity was only known to the three siblings, and their father was still in the dark, which made it difficult to speak up.

Noticing his sons’ uneasy expressions, Qin Anguo squinted his eyes, that held wisdom, and scrutinized them, "What is it? Are you hiding something from me?"

Qin Jingcen controlled the emotions in his eyes, and his face showed a gentle smile as he diplomatically said, "Dad, my little sister’s marriage is scheduled for mid-year, so Ayan and my wedding might have to be delayed."

Unable to vent his anger on his daughter, he had fewer reservations toward his son.

Qin Anguo snorted coldly at his eldest son, "I don’t care how long you want to postpone it, you must get married this year, that’s the bottom line!"

After speaking, he turned and walked back inside the house.

There were many New Year gifts brought by the Huo Family, and he was very interested in that piece of Emperor Green Jade Stone—it was a top-grade jade stone that one seldom encounters in a hundred years.

Most importantly, crafting it into products in the first half of the year and selling them would bring a value that could embellish Qin Ruan’s dowry significantly.

It would also let others know that the Qin Family was not one to sell their daughters off cheaply.

...

Huo Yunjiao and Qin Ruan walked through their home door with the children, and saw a woman with a short haircut talking to a servant in the inner hall, her back towards them.

Seeing the family of four approaching the door, the servant softly reminded the short-haired woman, "Miss, the third master and the young madam are back."

Huo Yunjiao, seeing the woman’s back, curved his lips into a gentle smile and called out, "Little Aunt."

The woman slowly turned around, revealing a well-maintained face that looked to be in her thirties, and a pair of peach blossom-shaped eyes similar to Huo Yunjiao’s.

The short hair gave her a spirited and valiant appearance, with a married woman’s charm and an enchanting, intellectual allure.

Qin Ruan was aware of some rumors concerning this princess of the Huo Family.

Years ago, before the old Mr. Huo retired from the Cabinet, the little aunt had spent many years in the Cabinet’s compound, famously known as the female overlord.

The third master had mentioned that the little aunt’s temperament was fiery, and Josh’s temper was just like hers.

Later, she married a prominent figure from an ancient family in Yi Country, having encountered him through a fight; she then irreversibly ventured onto the path of love.

Despite her family’s objections, she married him, and they had lived abroad for years.

As Qin Ruan looked her over, Huo Yunyun was open and even showed a friendly and cordial smile.

She had noticed Qin Ruan standing beside her nephews from the start, as well as the two delicately adorable boys they held in their arms.

Huo Yunyun’s solemn face unknowingly blossomed into a brilliant smile.

She quickly stepped toward the family of four, teasingly said, "Jiaojiao, it’s been so long since we last met, you really know how to surprise your aunt."

Huo Yunjiao frowned slightly, an expression of helplessness on his face, "Little aunt, please don’t call me that."

Huo Yunyun deliberately teased him, "Stinky boy, it’s not like when you were little and I had to hold you and coax you. Back then, whenever I called you Jiaojiao, you would smile at me, a smile that was simply sweet to the core."

The third master stood majestically, his whole being exuding refined and noble elegance, making it hard to imagine what his smile, sweet to the core, must have looked like.

His eyes, warm with pleading, smiled at his little aunt, "You said it yourself, that was when I was a child, I’m nearly thirty now."

This feeling of having his embarrassing past uncovered was simply too awful, especially in front of Qin Ruan.

Huo Yunyun, fully aware of his concerns, playfully snorted, "Whether you’re seventy or eighty, you are still the child I watched grow up."

Her gaze settled on Qin Ruan, looking at her as if viewing a daughter-in-law, more and more satisfied, "This girl has good features, you can tell at a glance that she’s a perceptive child, you’re lucky, you young man."

Huo Yunjiao immediately spoke highly of his delicate wife, "Ruanruan is not only well-behaved but also very sensible."

Huo Yunyun looked at him meaningfully, "You’ve learned to cherish your wife too, not bad, not bad."

Being praised by the elders, Qin Ruan felt a bit nervous and nodded to the woman in front of her, greeting, "Hello, little aunt."

"Good! Good child!" Huo Yunyun held her hand, her already beautiful face blossoming into a smile like a flower.

She then looked at the children in their arms, "These must be Ayao and Anqi, right? The two children look exactly alike, I can’t tell who is who."

Qin Ruan told her, "I’m holding Ayao; he’s the older brother and a bit naughtier, and Anqi is the younger brother, who seems to have the same temperament as the third uncle, more calm."

She patted Huo Yao’s back and said to him, "Ayao, this is your aunt, say hello."

Huo Yao opened his mouth and called out, "Hello, Aunt." His voice was crisp and sweet.

Huo Sanye also had his younger son greet her, "Anqi, say hello to your aunt."

Huo Anqi’s tone was steady, his enunciation clear, "Hello, Aunt!"

Huo Yunyun, hearing the two children call her aunt, showed a shocked expression on her face, "These children are so young yet they are already greeting people, that’s really incredible."

Besides showing initial surprise, she quickly accepted the exceptional nature of Huo Yao and Huo Anqi.

Qin Ruan noticed her gaze and glanced at the third uncle inadvertently, the movement very subtle, almost impossible to catch unless one was looking closely.

Huo Yunyun, beaming, opened her arms to the child in Qin Ruan’s arms, "Who knows when Josh will let me become a grandmother, just give the child to me to hold, let me experience the feeling of having a grandchild in advance."

"Mom, I’m still young, and I definitely won’t be getting married within ten years!"

Josh, who walked in from outside just as the topic of having children came up, showed a horrified expression and quickly made his position clear.

Huo Yunyun didn’t spare him a glance, taking the child Qin Ruan handed over, her smile never fading.

Josh, feeling snubbed, walked over to Qin Ruan and whispered, "Hi, third cousin’s wife."

Ever since Qin Ruan reprimanded him, he had harbored a grudge and gone to West City to find trouble with Jiang Liulang. After the third cousin had taught him a lesson and he had been called back to Yi Country by his parents, it had been months since he had last seen Qin Ruan.

Even without meeting, this little cousin-in-law had left him with a deep, unforgettable fear.

Qin Ruan turned her head and eyed Josh, who had a very beautiful and delicate face, bearing a resemblance to Huo Yunyun by about fifty percent, possibly because of his mixed heritage, making him both handsome and pretty.

Unfortunately, this person had a completely sinister fate, a pure Yin life.

Those with such a life fate, once they stayed near the third uncle for long, would inevitably affect the entangled Purple Energy and Black Evil Energy within him.

Qin Ruan was very pleased that he hadn’t come close to the third uncle, "It’s been a while, you seem to have grown a bit taller."

Hearing that he had grown taller, a light of surprise and joy appeared in Josh’s brown eyes, inherited from his father.

Meeting his hopeful gaze, Qin Ruan nodded, "You’ve grown a bit."

Josh grinned and said, "I will continue to grow taller, and eventually I’ll surpass Qin Mei."

Qin Ruan showed a surprised expression, "My second brother?"

"That guy always mocks me for being thinner and shorter than him, even though my weight and even my height are a few centimeters more than his," Josh said, his mixed-race face displaying annoyance and a tone full of emotional complaint.

Qin Ruan’s expression grew strange, not understanding why these boys were so fixated on these things.

Suddenly, Josh slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory, we just had some visitors. I saw them bringing someone tied up, so I took them next door. Third cousin, cousin-in-law, do you want to go check it out? They said they were looking for the little cousin-in-law."

With an impassive face, Huo Yunjiao asked in a deep voice, "Whose people are they?"

Josh thought for a moment and said, "They said their surname is Fu."

Huo Yunjiao and Qin Ruan exchanged a glance, simultaneously thinking of the incident at Sea City before the New Year.

Sitting on the sofa, holding Huo Yao and Huo Anqi close and playing with them, Huo Yunyun heard the children’s discussion and without raising her head said, "If you have things to take care of, go ahead; the kids are safe here with me."

Huo Yunjiao held Qin Ruan’s hand and said to the gently smiling Huo Yunyun affectionate with the two children, "Little aunt, Ruanruan and I will make a quick trip."

"Go on—"

Huo Yunyun still did not raise her head; her heart had completely melted at the sight of the two adorable babies, she simply adored them too much.

Josh, seeing that his mother was ignoring even him, trotted after his cousin and cousin-in-law as they left.

In the guest lounge of the next building.

Fu Yinru, accompanied by two bodyguards, was patiently waiting with Fu Ziqiu, whose legs were still not completely healed, sitting in the lounge.

Having known that Huo Sanye and Qin Ruan were visiting the Qin Family on their way back, he’d expected it would take at least an hour before they could meet.

Seeing Huo Yunjiao and Qin Ruan walk in from the door, Fu Yinru couldn’t hide the astonishment on his face.

He stood up, approached them with a friendly demeanor, and greeted, "Third Master Huo, Madam, happy New Year."

Huo Yunjiao nodded slightly to him, his tone distant yet polite, "Happy New Year."

Qin Ruan returned the greeting, "Happy New Year, Master Fu."

Seeing Qin Ruan, the ill Fu Ziqiu, restrained by the bodyguards on the chair and unable to move, seemed to see a savior.
