Chapter 158: A Smile from a Beautiful Woman, Captivating Souls
Hou Yunjiao closed the file in his hand and took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose.
The document he held was worth tens of billions, a contract signed between HEA Group and the J side of X country.
Today, he and Second Brother watched as the goods were shipped out. This would be the last batch of weapons they provided to X country this year.
There were some things that the Hou family did not want to get involved in, and they did not want to stir up trouble in the current peaceful state.
Hou Yunjiao pressed his forehead with his hand and suddenly stopped his movements.
He turned his head to look at Qin Ruan, who was sitting next to him. His indifferent gaze softened and fell on her small face the size of a palm.
The girl sat obediently with her eyelids drooping from exhaustion. Her body unconsciously leaned towards him.
The Third Young Master pursed his lips and his delicate eyebrows lightly furrowed with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
This girl was quite bold.
Before going to bed tonight, he was worried about her and called Hou Zhi to inquire about her whereabouts. He found out that Qin Ruan was at a stranger's house.
He then had someone investigate the residents in that area and eventually identified the famous actor, Xiao Yunchen, in the entertainment industry.
After a long time, Hou Zhi was still waiting outside the door, but Qin Ruan had not come out.
Hou Yunjiao couldn't explain the strange feeling in his heart, but he was definitely uncomfortable.
It was not only because he was worried about Qin Ruan, but also because of the strange feeling of her being pregnant and staying at another man's house so late at night.
When he arrived at Xiao Yunchen's mansion, it was not yet midnight, which was the day he and Qin Ruan got their marriage certificate.
Strictly speaking, it was their wedding night.
He waited outside the door for more than three hours before finally seeing Qin Ruan come out.
But this girl was carefree. After getting in the car, she didn't explain anything and just went to sleep.
Hou Yunjiao felt exhausted and also had a sense of absurdity.
Waiting for someone for more than three hours in the middle of the night, was this something he was capable of doing?
Even during the chaotic period of the cabinet, he had never been so proactive before.
Soon, she sat up straight, her tired eyes tinged with confusion.
Her pitiful appearance made Third Master soften his heart.
He reached out and supported the back of Qin Ruan's neck, bringing her to his chest and letting her lean against him.
"Sleep, we'll be home soon," his voice was soft and gentle, almost indescribable.
Sniffing the faint scent of sandalwood on him, Qin Ruan's hazy consciousness became muddled again.
She tried to force herself to stay awake, lifting her gaze to steal a glance at the man holding her.
In that one glance, she met the deep gaze of Hou Yunjiao, who was staring at her.
His eyes were tinged with a faint smile, and his beautiful face was no longer aloof but rather gentle and friendly.
Hou Yunjiao hugged Qin Ruan's petite body, and a faint indulgent smile spread across his face. "Not sleepy anymore?" he asked.
His well-defined fingers reached towards her.
Qin Ruan was dumbfounded and at a loss.
She felt a cool touch at her ear as he pushed her drooping hair behind it.
Seeing Qin Ruan's stunned expression, Hou Yunjiao's lips curled slightly.
Then, a soft laughter filled the car.
The beauty of his smile was entrancing.
Qin Ruan was left speechless.
Hou Yunjiao's low, mellow voice and pleasant laughter sounded like a soothing balm to Qin Ruan's ears, making her feel light and carefree.
Shaken back to reality by the impact of his beauty, Qin Ruan suddenly asked, "Were you angry before?"
She wasn't good at beating around the bush.
Her straightforwardness caught Third Master off guard.
Hou Yunjiao was briefly stunned, and quickly regained his composure.
He sighed softly. "Little one, do you know what time it is?"
Qin Ruan was about to grab her phone, but Hou Yunjiao stopped her. "It's already two in the morning," he said.
