Chapter 69: The Little Girl Will Come to Find Him

 Chapter 69: The Little Girl Will Come to Find Him

He had a faint smile on his lips as he slowly spoke, "I saw her."

"Really? Why didn't I see her?!" Hou Yirong couldn't sit still and stood up to scan outside the car window.

Hou Yunjiao propped his head up with one hand, his exquisite and handsome face showing a complex and indiscernible expression.

In an unexpected encounter, he briefly met eyes with Qin Ruan.

The surprise in her beautiful eyes and the brilliant light that bloomed from the bottom of her eyes made him realize one thing.

She knew him, and even had some... expectations of him?

Hou Yunjiao didn't know how to describe the look on Qin Ruan's face when she saw him. Although there was no surprise in her eyes, they suddenly lit up with a brilliant light.

It was not calculation and greed, nor was it unique affection.

It was like finding a trusted companion.

Hou Yunjiao found it funny to have such a guess about himself.

As someone who had been in a high position for many years, although his unquestionable prestige had deliberately restrained, it still made people fearful.

It couldn't be said that everyone he came into contact with was driven by calculation and self-interest, but they all came with a certain purpose.

But no one except his family saw him as a redemptive companion.

This feeling was strange, but it didn't make him feel repulsed.

"Third brother, where's the person? Why didn't I see the person?" Hou Yirong shouted.

"I saw her. She was in the convoy just now. Let's go back," Hou Yunjiao put down his hand and leaned back on the car seat, closing his eyes to rest.

"Aren't you going to talk to Qin Ruan?"

"She will come to find me," Hou Yunjiao's voice contained a smile, and his tone was firm.

Qin Ruan was still too young. The expression in her eyes revealed her innermost thoughts at a glance.

He believed that the little girl would come to find him.

........

Qin Ruan, who was sitting on the front vehicle, couldn't calm her mind.

She never expected to see Hou Yunjiao in this situation.

In her previous life, he went abroad to improve himself and didn't return until a year later.

By the time he returned to the country, she had already passed away.

It had only been half a month since the night at the Imperial Palace Hotel, so why was she seeing him now?

Did he not go abroad, or did he return early?

Why was this happening?

Qin Ruan opened her third eye, but she couldn't detect Hou Yunjiao's fate. She could only see the faint purple aura swirling around him.

The purple aura was the aura of an emperor, a sign of someone born to be favored by heaven.

But she knew that in her previous life, Hou Yunjiao, who was revered by everyone, would die before he turned thirty-five.

Qin Ruan rubbed her index finger and thumb nervously, her heart in turmoil.

She had been following the trajectory of her past life when it came to Hou Yunjiao's existence.

A child couldn't grow up without a father. Everything Hou Yunjiao did for her in her previous life was due to their karmic relationship as the bearer of the Hou family's offspring.

His actions showed his deep feelings and loyalty.

Hou Yunjiao was a man worth trusting, and he would be a good father.

Qin Ruan decided that when she gave birth to the child, she would be prepared to entangle herself with the Hou family.

The Hou family would not allow their offspring to be left outside.

Knowing that Hou Yunjiao went abroad and would return a year later, Qin Ruan planned to approach the Hou family after giving birth to the child, or wait for him to come to her as he did in her previous life.

In her previous life, when Hou Yunjiao learned that the child had been framed and killed, the sadness in his calm eyes left a deep impression on Qin Ruan's soul and consciousness.

She blamed herself for not protecting the child, and Hou Yunjiao also blamed himself for not knowing about the child's existence.

The sadness and pain in his eyes were still piercingly uncomfortable for Qin Ruan to recall.

Unfortunately, all her plans were disrupted.

Just now, when she saw Hou Yunjiao's calm and clearly familiar expression, something was obviously different from her previous life.

Unbeknownst to Qin Ruan, the butterfly flapped its wings and changed many of the original trajectories.
