Chapter 164: Don't Scare Her

 Chapter 164: Don't Scare Her

Mr. Hou looked at Qin Ruan and smiled, his eyes squinting, "Is this grand daughter-in-law? Such a beautiful and delicate child!"

Both his attitude and tone of speech were very affectionate.

Qin Ruan stared at the familiar old face, though it was their first meeting, and remained frozen in place.

She held onto the armrest on her right side with slender hands, and her exquisite face looked increasingly expressionless.

The old man who spoke was someone she had seen in the news before.

This old man was a generation's ruthless figure.

Even though he was no longer in the cabinet, his influence remained undiminished.

Hou Yunjiao looked over at Qin Ruan standing on the stairs. Though she seemed expressionless, it did not stop Third Young Master from seeing his inner turmoil.

The little girl was nervous and felt out of place.

Her black, beautiful eyes dilated, her hand on the armrest tightened, and her body remained motionless.

Third Young Master felt pity for Qin Ruan's discomfort and got up, walking towards her with a steady and graceful pace.

Hou Yunjiao approached Qin Ruan, holding her hand and leading her to the living room.

He looked down at Qin Ruan, who had now regained her composure, and asked in a gentle tone, "Why not sleep a little longer?"

"I'm hungry," Qin Ruan replied truthfully.

She had slept until she woke up naturally, but she was really hungry.

Third Young Master's lips curved slightly, "The dining room has prepared breakfast, go take a look and tell the kitchen chefs what you like. I also had some blood-nourishing soup stewed for you. Remember to tell them if you like it, and they will make it for you later."

"Okay," Qin Ruan replied absent-mindedly.

Soon, the two of them walked to the sofa and stood in front of Mr. Hou and his father.

Hou Yunjiao held Qin Ruan's soft little hand and introduced, "Grandfather, father, this is Ruan Ruan. She is a little girl with a thin face and is easily frightened. Don't scare her."

The majesty of both the former and current heads of the Hou family was enough to intimidate other senior members of aristocratic families, let alone Qin Ruan, this little girl.

Third Young Master was clearly protecting his wife in front of his elders.

The old master dotes on his grandson Hou Yunjiao the most, and knows him very well.

  This child has grown up before his eyes, and has never seen him take anyone seriously other than his family, especially women.

  The night at the Imperial Hotel was indeed a plot by the Su family.

  The initial intention is unforgivable, but the process is not easy to say.

  Su's calculations brought a daughter-in-law to the Hou family.

  The Hou family knows everything about Qin Ruan, including her background in the West City.

  The old master Hou smiled and looked at Qin Ruan, and looked at her inconspicuous belly, and said with a smile, "This is the first time my family's third son has taken someone so seriously. What's the little girl's name?"

  Qin Ruan raised her eyes and looked at the old man sitting on the sofa.

  She didn't believe that the other party didn't know her name.

  Qin Ruan obediently said, "Qin Ruan."

  Her voice was cold and obedient, a bit distant, and not as casual as when she was in front of Hou Yunjiao.

  Hou Yunjiao introduced Qin Ruan, "This is my grandfather. Now that my wife has entered the Hou family, do you know how to address him?"

  His voice was gentle and smiling, holding Qin Ruan's hand, and lightly scratching the back of her hand.

  The movement was subtle and not noticeable.

  As a party involved, Qin Ruan felt his small movements.

  With him by her side, her nervousness and helplessness in her heart dissipated a lot.

  Qin Ruan looked at the old man sitting on the sofa, her red lips slightly opened, and her voice was crisp, "Grandfather."

  "Good, good! Good child!"

  The old master Hou picked up the black silk box on the table.

  He paused for a moment, then put the box down and took out a document from under the table.

  This movement was seen by Hou Hongxing and Hou Yunjiao's father and son beside him.

  The father and son looked surprised and looked at each other.
