Chapter 206: One Generation Apart from Third Young Master
The commotion outside the door startled Qin Ruan.
The taxi driver who was crouching on the ground also immediately stopped crying.
With a cold stare, his eyes fixed on the door, his expression filled with fear.
Perhaps due to nervousness and fear, the stench of blood and decay emanated from his body, filling the entire room.
Qin Ruan didn't have time to ask him anything and quickly made a gesture to silence him, then walked to the door and opened it.
Huo Yunjiao, wearing a bathrobe with wet hair, came into view.
The belt around his waist was loosely tied, and his perfectly proportioned figure was half-revealed.
After taking a shower, Huo Yunjiao exuded a sexy aura all over his body, the kind of pure masculine charm that was captivating, making Qin Ruan a little dizzy.
Her eyes wandered, unable to look directly at him. "It's nothing, just testing if there's a problem with the lights in the house."
Huo Yun Jiao swept his gaze around the room and didn't notice anything.
However, a glint flashed in his deep, dark eyes.
The little girl was keeping something from him.
Qin Ruan had nowhere to hide any secrets from him.
Perhaps she herself wasn't aware of it, but all her thoughts were laid bare in front of him.
Huo Yunjiao withdrew his gaze and looked down at the little girl in front of him, a permissive smile on his face.
In a gentle voice, he said, "Qin Mei just returned and was assigned to rest on the third floor. It's getting late, so you should rest early too."
Qin Ruan nodded. "I know, thank you, Third Young Master."
The word "Third Young Master" caused Huo Yunjiao's expression to become subtle.
He raised his hand and touched Qin Ruan's head, sighing, "Didn't I tell you not to be so formal? I forgot what you should call me again?"
The palm he placed on her head was gentle to the touch, mixed with a faint electric current, making Qin Ruan feel uncomfortable all over.
She wondered if Huo Yunjiao came over on purpose to tease her.
He treated her with a childlike indulgence and made familiar ambiguous gestures that made Qin Ruan's heart skip a beat. She unconsciously licked her lips and looked straight at the man in front of her with a calm gaze, tinged with a hint of curiosity.
"Third brother," Qin Ruan addressed him, changing her title to a more appropriate one.
"Be a good girl and go to bed early," Huo Yunjiao replied, satisfied with her obedience, and withdrew his hand before closing the door to the room.
Qin Ruan found his inquisitive gaze amusing as she watched him leave. Did he think he could just eat her up?
The thought made her lips twitch, and Huo Yunjiao shook his head in amusement as he made his way to the master bedroom.
Once the door to the guest room closed, Qin Ruan's body relaxed completely. The taxi driver, who had somehow drifted behind her, watched their every move and commented, "Miss, is this the man who broke up with you last time? You two look quite compatible together."
Thinking back to their initial confrontation, Qin Ruan couldn't help but smile wryly. His comment about compatibility left her speechless.
Turning around to face the driver, she said calmly, "We have a nine-year age difference."
"Ah?" The driver's bloodshot eyes widened in surprise. "That's... quite a big gap."
"Yes, it's a generational difference," Qin Ruan replied with a hint of amusement. Her heart, which had been unsettled by Huo Yunjiao's flirtation, finally calmed down.
She walked over to the balcony of the guest room, where the moonlight was shining down on her. Pointing to the area below, she said to the driver, "Wait here for a while. You might want to learn to control your aura and not look so wretched. I don't usually get queasy, but your appearance is really quite unbearable."
