Chapter 194: Third Young Master: Don't Scare Her

 Chapter 194: Third Young Master: Don't Scare Her

"Of course!" 

Lu Han's body exuded a restrained sense of confidence and ease, typical of a young master from a prominent family.

He had started taking on more responsibilities at home over the past year, preparing to formally accept the family's arrangements and start developing his career in the imperial court.

As the next head of the Lu family, he naturally had the right to represent the family.

If his father knew about the improprieties of the Xiao family, he would have made the same choice as him.

The Xiao family was both a source of pain and a taboo for them.

"That's good." Hou Yirong smiled contentedly. "If some people don't learn their lesson, they may never know how to behave themselves. It would be much easier for the Lu family not to get involved in that matter."

Lu Han reiterated, "The Lu family will never collaborate with them!"

"In that case, I won't see you off. Have a safe journey," Hou Yirong said.

Lu Han nodded and looked at Hou Yunjiao, who was sitting calmly beside them.

"Third Young Master, I'll take my leave now and visit you another day."

Hou Yunjiao looked up, with a faint smile on his lips and a gentle expression. "Go ahead."

After Lu Han left, Hou Yirong continued to maintain his relaxed and graceless posture.

He stared at the jade pendant in the evidence bag in Hou Yunjiao's hand and asked, "Third Brother, how are you going to give it to our younger sister?"

"The Criminal Investigation Bureau found the record of Ruan Ruan taking the taxi on the car surveillance video and directly informed her that her belongings were left in the taxi."

"Are you not going to tell her about the murder case?" 

"She's still young. Let's not scare her with those things."

Upon hearing this, Hou Yirong's lips twitched.

He thought to himself that Qin Ruan had dislocated someone's limbs in the western city, and Third Brother was treating her like a kitten.

"Okay."

He had no say in this couple's affairs.

"It's getting late. Shall we go home?" Hou Yirong sat up straight.

"Hou Yunjiao shook his head. 'Let's go to the company first and pick up Qin Ruan together tonight.'

"'Are you okay?'"

Hou Yirong glanced at his pale complexion, his words full of disapproval.

"'It's nothing, just my old illness acting up.'

"'Then take a rest at the company and go to pick her up later.'

"'Okay.'"

The two of them stood up and left the private room of the tea house.

...

Qin Ruan tasted the familiar flavor of tomato braised beef, just like in her previous life.

She kept eating even after getting full, her chopsticks still moving.

Qin Anguo tried to stop her. "Ruan Ruan, don't eat anymore. You've had two bowls already."

He quickly signaled his two sons to take the dishes away.

Qin Jingcen and Qin Mei stepped forward.

One took her chopsticks, the other took away the remaining tomato braised beef.

Qin Ruan's delicate face showed disappointment, and Qin Anguo tried to comfort her in a low voice. "Ruan Ruan, if you still want to eat, we'll make it for you next time."

"Okay."

Qin Ruan tried to suppress the bitter feeling in her heart and not show any sadness or distress on her face.

Some things, once missed, can never be regained.

In her previous life, she had waited for so long, and in this life, she didn't want to waste it once she had it again.

"Let's take a walk and digest the food."

Qin Jingcen came out of the dining room and took Qin Ruan's arm.

He was very cautious in his movements, and his gaze kept checking her belly, behaving and speaking overly carefully.

Qin Ruan felt helpless.

She placed her hand on his arm, which was supporting her. "Big brother, the baby is still small. You don't have to be so careful with me."

"Okay."

Qin Jingcen responded, but his behavior was still his usual way.

The baby in his little sister's belly could be his nephew or niece.

He felt sorry for Qin Ruan's young age, but he was also looking forward to his unborn nephew or niece.
