Chapter 262: Not Interested in Women? Ruan Ruan's Mysterious Expression
Long Xinzhe understood instantly when he saw Qin Ruan's expression. This matter really had something to do with Qin Ruan.
Ling Xiaoxuan looked at him coldly, watching his teeth-grinding appearance, and said mockingly, "Who are you putting on this face for? You worship Third Young Master, and now Third young Master is under Qin Ruan's control. It has nothing to do with you."
Long Xinzhe accused, "She made Third Young Master go abroad to recuperate. In recent years, Third Young Master's health has clearly improved, and he has rarely gone to the hospital."
"That still has nothing to do with you," Ling Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes.
"How does that have nothing to do with me?!" Long Xinzhe glared at Qin Ruan, "What did you do?"
Qin Ruan looked embarrassed. What happened between her and Third Young Master that night was hard to explain in words.
Facing Long Xinzhe's angry gaze, a wicked thought surfaced in her mind.
Qin Ruan's lips curled slightly, "I didn't do much, just led Third Young Master to do some unscrupulous things."
"..." Long Xinzhe and Ling Xiaoxuan couldn't refute her words.
Ling Xiaoxuan couldn't help but admire Qin Ruan from the bottom of her heart. What she said was truly amazing.
She couldn't help but give Qin Ruan a thumbs-up.
Long Xinzhe looked at Qin Ruan in horror, and asked with difficulty, "You forced Third Young Master?"
Qin Ruan couldn't help but laugh. She did have the ability to do so.
That night at the Imperial Palace Hotel, who took the initiative was unclear, but she and Hou Yunjiao ended up together.
Long Xinzhe thought that Qin Ruan really forced Third Young Master.
"Why do you have no self-respect?"
Qin Ruan slightly opened her red lips and said, "How do you know? Can't it be that Third Master is lusting after me?"
"How could it be! Third Young Master is a monk, he has never been interested in women!"
"Is that so?"
Qin Ruan's smile remained unchanged, and her expression was thought-provoking.
Not interested in women?
Who was it that made her experience the pain of being split in half that night?
And who was it that bullied her as if he hadn't seen a woman in eight hundred years?
She hadn't cried in nearly twenty years, but even with tears in her eyes and begging for mercy, she still couldn't get any sympathy from him.
Qin Ruan did not tell Long Xinzhe and Ling Xiaoxuan about these things.
Knowing that Long Xinzhe was a fanatical follower of HuoYunjiao, Qin Ruan felt somewhat annoyed, but she found him more pleasing to the eye now.
"This is adult business, children should stay out of it."
After saying this, she had no intention of discussing the relationship between her and Hou Yunjiao with Long Xinzhe.
"Qin Ruan, you should have some respect, you know you're still one year younger than me."
Qin Ruan sneered, "But you still have to call me Third Sister-in-law, don't you?"
"Knock, knock."
Long Xinzhe couldn't find words to refute her, and just then someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open from outside by a restaurant staff member delivering food.
The three of them fell silent.
It wasn't until the food was served that Long Xinzhe was still looking at Qin Ruan with a sad expression.
He just couldn't accept the fact that Qin Ruan was entangled with Third Young Master.
In his eyes, Third Young Master was sacred and inviolable, a highland flower, and an object of admiration and worship.
Now that Qin Ruan had pulled him off his pedestal, he felt a sense of unreality and disappointment.
This meal was particularly tasteless for Long Xinzhe.
He stared at Qin Ruan's belly and asked, "You already have a child, did you have contact with Third Young Lord a long time ago?"
"No, he left the country that day," Qin Ruan replied.
She swallowed the food in her mouth and reached for the tomato stewed beef on the table. She didn't order this dish, so it must have been ordered by Ling Xiaoxuan.
The taste was familiar and not unpleasant.
"The child is only a month old?!" Long Xinzhe was surprised again.
"Yes," Qin Ruan replied straightforwardly.
"Qin Ruan, tell me honestly, did you plan to have a child with Third Young Lord in advance?"
"Oh! You found out?" Qin Ruan looked surprised, as if her little secret had been discovered.
But her eyes were cold and sarcastic.
Long Xinzhe was also from the Long family, one of the four great families. She wondered how his brain worked.
Ling Xiaoxuan also looked at him with a foolish expression.
"Long Xinzhe, can you use your brain? Qin Ruan was in school the whole time, and her relationship with Third Young Master must have been accidental. If she wanted to plot against Master Huo, she would have been discovered by the Huo family's secret guards before she could even begin."
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe she was sent by some other family to stir up trouble in the capital," Long Xinzhe replied.
"I object!" Ling Xiaoxuan was angry. "Can you stop staring at me when you say that? My family, the Ling family, has always been well-behaved and never meddles in other people's business."
The capital had been in a state of unrest recently. The Huo family had been making frequent moves, and the Su family was also showing signs of ambition. The Gong family and Xiao families seemed to be peaceful, but who knew what they were up to.
Anyone could see that the capital's aristocratic families were unstable lately, and the Huo family was taking advantage of it.
Long Xinzhe also knew that the Ling family had always been low-key, and Ling Xiaoxuan's uncle was quite capable. In recent years, the Ling family had been one of the six major aristocratic families.
He pursed his lips and did not refute Ling Xiaoxuan's words.
He just felt a little uncomfortable and touched his nose. "I didn't mean it that way."
"Humph!" Qin Ruan put down her chopsticks and picked up the soup next to her.
She looked at Long Xinzhe, puzzled. "What's the matter with you? Third Young Master is the perfect representative of our non-marriage doctrine. Now that you have a child with him, are you going to get married next?"
Qin Ruan said lightly, "We're already married."
"Married?!" Long Xinzhe almost dropped his chopsticks.
Ling Xiaoxuan was also surprised. "So soon? No wonder that woman called you 'madam' before!"
Qin Ruan smiled slightly and lowered her head to drink her soup.
Before the soup even reached her mouth, the scent of light medicinal herbs rushed into her nose.
Qin Ruan's eyes flickered slightly. She took a sip, and the perfect blend of medicinal fragrance spread in her mouth.
The taste was very familiar and not unpleasant.
She raised her head and looked at the two people sitting opposite her. "Which one of you ordered this soup?"
"I didn't order it," Ling Xiaoxuan shook her head.
"Neither did I," Long Xinzhe said. He had no interest in drinking soup at the moment; his whole being was in a complex conflict.
Because Third Young Master was in poor health, he hoped that this person would always stand on the altar, but at the same time, he hoped that he would leave an heir.
Now that he knew that Third Young Master had an heir, he felt like the high flower on his heart had been plucked.
The feeling was indescribably uncomfortable.
Qin Ruan savored the medicinal soup in her mouth and smiled lightly, unable to hide her amusement.
She knew where this bowl of soup came from.
Hou Yunjiao really did what he said and made sure that she drank a bowl of medicinal soup every day.
Qin Ruan's smile couldn't be concealed.
Although Long Xinzhe was somewhat obsessed with Third Young Master, he wasn't stupid. He couldn't help but notice that something was off with Qin Ruan.
He focused on the bowl of soup in front of her and remembered her earlier question.
He suddenly looked surprised, his expression full of incredulity.
Suddenly, he widened his eyes and pointed at the soup in front of Qin Ruan. "This, this soup is..."
