 Chapter 128: What is our relationship now?

Qin Ruan raised her eyes and met Hou Yunjiao's patient expression, and she couldn't help but despise herself in her heart.

Beauty can really be deceiving!

Who in the capital doesn't know that Third Master Hou is a man with ruthless means and deep scheming?

How could he appear so harmless and benevolent in front of her, making it difficult for her to refuse?

Qin Ruan couldn't resist Hou Yunjiao's gentle persuasion, and her actions had already given him an answer.

She nodded and whispered, "Okay."

And so, under Third Master's seduction, Hou Zhi would follow Qin Ruan from now on.

...

In the afternoon, the hospital test results came out.

Qin Ruan's body had no major problems with various indicators, but she had mild anemia.

This is a big risk for pregnant women.

As for the cause of anemia, it was partly due to Qin Ruan's severe malnutrition in childhood and long-term hunger.

The doctor said that anemia must be taken seriously. If the anemia of pregnant women is not relieved or worsens, it will have adverse effects on the health of both the mother and the baby.

Currently, Qin Ruan's anemia is only mild and can be managed through diet.

As the doctor spoke, Hou Yunjiao's cold eyes glanced at him, revealing a freezing coldness.

His face darkened and his thin lips were tightly pursed.

Severe malnutrition and long-term hunger? No wonder the little girl was so petite and had very little flesh on her body.

Xicheng, the largest slum in the capital.

There are all kinds of people there, and Qin Ruan had suffered for 18 years.

But now that she had returned to the Qin family for a year, she still had anemia. The Qin family was really good at managing things, they couldn't even take care of a person properly.

Qin Ruan didn't care too much about her physical examination results, only remembering Xiao Yingdi's hostility in her heart, she didn't even think about it.

Walking out of the hospital, Hou Yunjiao was followed by Hou Chuan, and Hou Zhi stood behind Qin Ruan.

There were also several bodyguards in black clothes supporting them.

These bodyguards had an obviously different aura from ordinary people. They were all good at fighting and could stand by the future head of the Hou family.

Qin Ruan looked at their stance and their stable lower body, and knew that these people had decent martial arts skills.

Suddenly, Hou Yunjiao spoke up and asked, "Are you going to school, or are you coming home with me?"

"I'm going to meet a friend. There are some things I need to take care of," Qin Ruan replied.

The remaining one year of her life was not enough for Qin Ruan at present.

"Okay, I'll have someone take you," Hou Yunjiao said.

"Thank you, Third Master--" Qin Ruan started to say.

Hou Yunjiao's warm expression turned complex, and he furrowed his brows lightly.

Looking into Qin Ruan's eyes, he showed a disapproving glint, "Little girl, what's our relationship now?"

"Hmm?" Qin Ruan blinked.

Soon, she understood what he meant and said softly, "Husband and wife?"

"Heh!" Hou Yunjiao laughed.

So, this girl didn't feel any sense of belonging towards him. She didn't see him as a family member or a spouse to rely on.

It was understandable, as she was only nineteen years old.

At this age, what could she understand?

They got married in a daze, so it was normal not to have a sense of belonging.

Hou Yunjiao relaxed his slightly furrowed brows and gently tapped Qin Ruan's forehead with his hand.

"Don't call me Third Master anymore. We're legally married now, and calling me that will create distance between us."

Qin Ruan tilted her head and thought for a moment, not knowing what to call him.

"What should I call you, then?"

"Call me big Brother from now on," Hou Yunjiao said with a smile, looking deeply into Qin Ruan's eyes.

Soon, he chuckled, "It's settled then. Call me big Brother from now on."
