Chapter 260: Madam Made Me Happy

 Chapter 260: Madam Made Me Happy

The previous mistake made by the Su family was enough to serve as a lesson. The wounds on her body constantly reminded Huo Zhi that shr couldn't slack off. Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes and threatened, "Should I call Master Huo and let him talk to you?" "Madam, please don't!" Huo Zhi's nervous face changed. The conversation between them made the two listeners standing beside them stunned. Whom was Qin Ruan calling? Master Huo? Did they hear it wrong? What did Huo Zhi call Qin Ruan? Madam? That seemed to be the title. Were they hallucinating? Long Xinzhe and Ling Xiaoxuan looked at each other, their expressions weird and amusing. Qin Ruan was not joking. She really took out her phone and was about to call Master Huo. Seeing that she was serious, Huo Zhi quickly spoke up, "Madam, there's no need. I'll have someone deliver the medicine. If Master finds out that I didn't handle things properly, I won't escape his punishment." "You saved me and protected the child in my stomach. How could Master Huo punish you?" "Child?!" Ling Xiaoxuan's face turned pale, staring incredulously at Qin Ruan's belly, her anxiousness and fear showing in her eyes. She broke out in a cold sweat, her voice trembling, "Qin Ruan, are you really pregnant?" During their previous struggle, she nearly caused Qin Ruan to fall to the ground. If Qin Ruan had really fallen... Ling Xiaoxuan couldn't imagine what would have happened. According to the conversation between Qin Ruan and Huo Zhi, the child seemed to belong to Master Huo of the Huo family. Her face was as pale as it was when she first met the mountain demon. Qin Ruan's thin lips were slightly pursed, and the corners of her mouth curved up just right. Her voice was reassuring, "It's okay, I didn't fall." "I didn't know, I really didn't know. Otherwise, I wouldn't have played around with you." Ling Xiaoxuan tightly pursed her lips, feeling self-blame, fear, and guilt all over her face. "Pay more attention next time. It's also my fault for not telling you." In fact, her attempt at comforting Ling Xiaoxuan did not make her feel any better. Her pupils shrank rapidly as she stared at Qin Ruan's belly, her guilty conscience weighing heavily on her and making it hard for her to breathe. Qin Ruan let out a low sigh in her heart, thinking to herself that she still had not dealt with Huo Zhi, and now she had to deal with Ling Xiaoxuan who was consumed by self-blame. She decided to prioritize the more severe situation, as Huo Zhi's face was pale and sickly, and Qin Ruan was well aware that her injuries were not light. Huo Zhi hesitated, not knowing how to explain the rules of the Huo family's secret department to Qin Ruan. In the end, she could only take a step back and say, "Madam, I'll call Chuan-ge to come and take over from me, otherwise I won't be at ease." Qin Ruan nodded slightly, "That works. Your task now is to find a doctor to check your injuries, otherwise I won't be at ease." "Yes." However, Qin Ruan did not believe her, and slightly raised her chin, "Call him now." Huo Zhi's temper and disposition were something that Qin Ruan had a little insight into. This woman was like iron, not caring about her own body at all. If she wasn't keeping an eye on her, who knows if she would just casually dismiss the matter. Huo Zhi had no choice but to take out her phone and call Huo Chuan. Huo Chuan answered the phone quickly on the other end. "Xiao Zhi, what happened?" The three leaders of the secret guards had a certain degree of understanding with each other. If nothing had happened, Huo Zhi would not have taken the initiative to call. "I'm fine..." Huo Zhi glanced cautiously at Qin Ruan, seeing that her complexion had returned to normal, and then recounted the incident where Qin Ruan almost fell. "Is madam okay?" Huo Chuan's tone was also somewhat nervous. Huo Zhi thought for a moment, "It seems like she was a little frightened." "Wait a moment." Soon, a low whisper came from Huo Chuan's end of the phone. Huo Zhi knew that he was reporting the incident to the third master. She waited for a while, and the sound of Huo Yunjiao's cool and deep voice came from the phone speaker. "Madam, is she injured?" "No." Huo Zhi's voice tightened instantly. "Huo Chuan will hand over to you in a while. During this period, pay attention to Madam's safety, and this incident will be recorded as your merit." "Thank you, Master." Huo Zhi's heart, which had been tense all along, finally relaxed. "Pass the phone to Madam." "Yes -" Huo Zhi handed the phone to Qin Ruan: "Madam, Master wants to speak to you." Qin Ruan took the phone and put it to her ear: "third master?" A low, sexy laugh came clearly from the speaker: "Is there someone around you?" Qin Ruan looked at Long Xin Zhe and Ling Xiao Xuan, and made a sound. "Were you scared just now?" Hou Yunjiao's tone was gentle, with a hint of comfort. "It's okay, thanks to Huo Zhi's help, otherwise I would have really fallen to the ground." "Are you afraid?" Hou Yunjiao's tone was gentle and ambiguous, with a hint of indulgence. Qin Ruan lowered her eyes, looking at her lower abdomen. "Um." She made a soft sound. Of course, she was afraid. When she almost fell just now, the scene of being surrounded and beaten to the ground, covered in blood from her previous life, came to her mind. Panic, helplessness, and desperate despair rushed in. She was afraid of losing the child in her belly again. She wasn't uncomfortable before, but now, because of Hou Yunjiao's inquiry, her eyes couldn't help but feel sour. "It's okay, don't be afraid." Hou Yunjiao's tone was gentle and childish, as if he was coaxing a child. Qin Ruan couldn't help but laugh: "Don't talk to me like that, it feels like you're coaxing a child." "Aren't you just a kid? If we go by seniority, you should be calling me uncle," Hou Yunjiao's voice, sounding both real and fake, came through the speaker and into Qin Ruan's ears. "Where would that be the case? If you were to come to our school, you would blend in with the college students," Qin Ruan replied. "Is Ruan Ruan praising me for looking young?" Hou Yunjiao voice was pleased. Qin Ruan laughed out loud. This was a statement that seemed impossible to refute. Huo Yunjiao did look very young. However, her earlier statement had an element of flattery towards Hou Yunjiao After all, his presence and bearing were so imposing that even at the school, he was someone to be looked up to. Hou Yunjiao sexy and teasing laughter echoed once again. "You have such a sweet mouth, you've made me happy." "As long as you're happy," Qin Ruan used an honorific term unconsciously. "Look at that, you just praised me for looking young and now you're using honorific terms. Little girl, you're not being consistent," Hou Yunjiao laughed. "They are who they are, but if you want to make me happy, just call me Third Brother directly." Call Huo Yunjiao Third Brother in front of Ling Xiaoxuan and Long Yinzhe? Qin Ruan was embarrassed for herself. This was more shameful than intimate terms used between lovers. Qin Ruan changed the subject. "I'm going to eat now. Third Master, hurry up and send Huo Zhi back to check on her injuries. I'm not very at ease about her." (End of this chapter)
