Chapter 182: Qin Ruan Confesses to Being Married and Pregnant
"What child?" Qin Jingcen was also confused.
"Whose child is it?"
Qin Mei asked the question that both Qin Father and Qin Jingcen wanted to know.
This time, the three of them stared at Qin Ruan with eyes full of pain and anger.
The pain came from not knowing that Ruan Ruan was kidnapped by a wild man and may already have a child.
The anger was directed at the man who kidnapped Qin Ruan.
They wanted nothing more than to find this man immediately and interrogate him thoroughly.
Under the intense gaze of the three of them, Qin Ruan felt uneasy and knew that things were not going well.
She got married to Hou Yunjiao without telling her family, and now she had a child, and her family knew nothing about it.
No matter how she looked at it, she was in the wrong.
Hou Zhi lowered her head and stood respectfully in front of Qin Ruan without responding to the three Qin family members.
Seeing that the young lady was nervous, she turned around and took a thermos with a nourishing blood and qi soup from the maid behind her.
"Young lady, this is a nourishing blood and qi soup that is good for you. Third Master specially instructed you to drink at least one bowl."
Hou Zhi placed the delicately small thermos on the Qin family's table and opened the lid. A faint medicinal fragrance mixed with a tempting meat fragrance wafted over.
This tempting aroma easily arouses one's appetite.
But Qin Ruan was not in the mood to drink soup right now. Hou Yunjiao was still waiting outside the Qin family's door.
If he was kept waiting, he might feel even more uncomfortable.
In the capital city, no one dared to keep Hou Yunjiao waiting. Everyone was eager to please him.
Qin Ruan wasn't the smartest person around, but she understood the twists and turns of the situation.
On the day that Qin Ruan's father and elder brother returned to the country, Hou Yunjiao came to her door under the guise of delivering medicinal soup, clearly intending to make their relationship public.
Qin Ruan pressed her throbbing temple and refused the soup that Hou Zhi had brought to her.
She said, "Since Third Master Hou is here, please invite him in. It's better to deal with this matter inside."
"Yes, I'll go now." Hou Zhi placed the soup on the table and left.
She moved so quickly that it seemed she had been waiting for Qin Ruan to say those words.
"Ruan, what exactly is going on?" Qin Jingcen asked in a deep voice after Hou Zhi left.
At this point, there was no point in hiding anything.
Qin Ruan cleared her throat and told them about being tricked by Han Kexin at the Imperial Palace Hotel and her subsequent affair with Third Master Hou.
"Third Master Hou?!" Qin Anguo's face turned extremely ugly at the mention of this person.
He had the fortune of participating in a top-class banquet in the capital city and had caught a glimpse of the other party from afar.
Third Master Hou was the heir to the Hou family, the next in line to inherit the family's fortune. It was rumored that he was decisive, aloof, capricious, and heartless.
When he briefly caught sight of Third Master Hou at the banquet, he was only impressed by the dominant aura that emanated from the other party. When he appeared at the banquet, countless people were conquered by his elegance and noble bearing.
Third Master Hou was born a prodigy, standing at a height that made people look up to him. It was difficult for anyone not to notice him.
With such a background, the Qin family was simply unable to compare with him, and the gap in status was too great.
Qin Anguo never expected that his daughter would be involved with the Hou family, a century-old noble family.
He stared at his daughter's belly and asked in a hoarse voice, "What about the child in your belly...?"
He wanted to know how old the child was.
As he thought about it, he realized that his daughter must have been pregnant for at least a month since he and his eldest son had only been away on a business trip abroad for less than a month.
