Chapter 223: Trust in Him Has Long Penetrated into the Bone Marrow
Huo Yunjiao raised his hand and touched Qin Ruan's head, his movements gentle and affectionate.
The faint scent emanating from her body wafted into his nose, causing his heart to race.
Looking at the hands that were tugging at his sleeves, Huo Yunjiao's mind was flooded with memories of those lotus-like hands hanging around his neck, swaying with the ebb and flow of the waves.
"Ahem!" The image that surged into his mind was untimely, and Huo Yunjiao cleared his throat, masking his thoughts.
His gaze shifted upward, staring at Qin Ruan's face, and he earnestly cautioned, "Let Huo Zhi send you out. Don't act impulsively if you encounter any trouble outside. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, call me, understand?"
His voice was deep and pleasant to the ear.
Huo Yunjiao's eyes were already deep and beautiful, and when he looked at someone with such affection, it gave people the illusion of deep affection.
Qin Ruan was a little embarrassed and dared not meet his gaze.
"I understand," she said.
She let go of his sleeve and turned to go upstairs.
Her back seemed ordinary, but her heart was in disarray.
A low chuckle, light and teasing, came from behind her.
Huo Yunjiao watched as Qin Ruan disappeared around the corner upstairs, and the gentle smile on his face gradually disappeared.
His handsome, almost demonic face became stern, adding a touch of forbidding calmness and unfathomability.
The oppression in his cold, gleaming eyes was palpable. "Are you done causing trouble?" he asked.
His voice was as if laced with ice, devoid of the previous gentleness he showed to Qin Ruan.
The danger that loomed behind him made Lu Yichen's anger subside in an instant.
As he turned around, he had already regained his usual mild-mannered appearance.
Lu Yichen was particularly cultured as he said, "Third Master, it's getting late. I won't disturb you any longer. I'll visit again another day."
After Huo Yunjiao nodded, he strode away with a calm but swift move.
Qin Mei was left standing there, looking foolish.
Huo Yunjiao glanced at him indifferently and asked in a softer tone, "Ruan Ruan is going out. Are you going home or to school?"
"Of course, I'm going home! You promised to explain things to my father and elder brother," Qin Mei replied.
Qin Mei didn't forget that there were still two people in his family waiting to try him.
"That's only if Ruan Ruan goes back," Huo Yunjiao said. "I explained everything to my father-in-law and eldest brother last night. Someone will be sent to take you back soon."
"Really?" Qin Mei asked skeptically.
"I never lie," Huo San-ye replied.
Huo Yunjiao sat in the hall with an upright and majestic posture, exuding an invisible pressure from head to toe. Even when Qin Mei stood up, he had to look up at Huo Yunjiao. The imposing aura of someone who had been in a position of power for years was intangible.
Qin Mei thought to himself, the most sycophantic person is here.
Reluctantly, he said, "Okay!"
...
Upstairs.
Qin Ruan returned to her room, closed the door, and took out her phone to call Qiao Jiu.
" Sister Qin?" Qiao Jiu's pleasantly surprised voice came through the speaker and into Qin Ruan's ear.
"It's me. Are you and Uncle Qiao at home?" Qin Ruan asked.
"We are!" Qiao Jiu replied.
"I'll be over to talk to you in a bit," Qin Ruan said.
"Okay, what time will you be here?" Qiao Jiu asked.
"Within an hour," Qin Ruan said.
"Okay."
Qin Ruan hung up the phone and found a casual outfit to wear from the closet.
However, her heart was still in turmoil.
Her union with Huo Yunjiao was for the sake of their child, to repay a debt from a past life. She had suffered too much in the West City over the years, experiencing countless heartaches and hardships.
She had already built a thick layer of barriers around herself, and no one could penetrate her defenses. She wouldn't allow anyone to take a single step closer to her. Trust was a precious and rare existence for her.
There were few people she trusted, and Huo Yunjiao had unwittingly become the top person on that list.
