▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Hou Yunjiao glanced at Huo Yirong, a faint smile on his face. "Care to guess?"
Thinking of his fiery-tempered younger aunt, Huo Yirong looked somewhat embarrassed.
Helpless yet somewhat proud, he sighed, "My younger aunt's temper is renowned as the female overlord in our city. Whoever dares to provoke her, she won't hesitate to retaliate."
He had been preoccupied with the unrest in the Doyle Family and had forgotten about his aunt's fiery nature.
Hou Chuan approached and respectfully said to the two, "Second Master, Third Master, the ship is about to set sail."
Hou Yirong and Hou Yunqiao headed towards the cabin.
Inside the yacht cabin.
Qin Ruan sat at the bar, cracking sunflower seeds, engrossed in a discussion with Hou Zhi.
Hou Zhi said, "Madam, there are four rooms in the cabin. You and the master will share one room, the Second Master will have one room, and the young master and Qin Second Young Master will each have their own room."
Qin Ruan had no objections to sharing a room with Hou Yunjiao since they were already sharing a bed at home.
Recalling the expression Hou Yunjiao had shown today, she asked Hou Zhi, "Does the Third Master often spend the night outside?"
Huo Zhi pondered for a moment and replied, "No, Master rarely spends the night outside except for occasional overseas trips."
Qin Ruan furrowed her brows lightly, unsure if the Third Master would be comfortable spending the night at sea tonight.
Hou Zhi was adept at observing subtle cues. Seeing Qin Ruan's thoughtful expression, she whispered, "Madam, the master seemed very happy today."
She had rarely seen their master so lively and spirited.
Their master appeared gentle and refined, but deep down, he possessed inherent coldness and aloofness, surpassing even the Second Master in methods.
The Third Young Master rarely punished them, but once he made a move, even losing half a life would be considered lenient.
Although the master was ruthless, his protection towards them was deeply ingrained in their blood.
A few years ago, Uncle Qiang went on a mission to the country of Siam in Southeast Asia, but he got entangled in a conflict between two local factions unrelated to his mission.
After completing his mission, Uncle Qiang was controlled by one of the factions and unable to return home. He had no choice but to contact the covert guards of the Hou family.
They immediately informed the master, and the Third Young Master's methods were ruthless and direct. He summoned two-thirds of the Hou family's covert guards overnight and issued a life-or-death order to ensure Huo Qiang's safe return.
As soon as the covert guards of the Hou family left, the Third Young Master immediately contacted the Siamese royal family, using threatening words to push them to take action and ensure Hou Qiang's safety.
The Siamese royal family was like an ornament in the local area, lacking authority in the eyes of the people. They dared not easily confront the local factions.
However, the royal family also had hidden cards, which they rarely revealed.
Under the Hou Yunjiao's threat, the Siamese royal family finally took action.
When the covert guards of the Hou family arrived in Siam, Hou Qiang was personally escorted by the royal family's guards.
As a result, the Siamese royal family gained the support of the Hou family's weaponry, giving them enough capital to confront the local factions.
This lofty and unattainable master, whom they both admire and fear, is the person that the Hou family's secret guards spare no effort to protect with their lives.
Qin Ruan is the master's wife, and she is also half of their master.
If she can make the Third Master happy and please the master, then she deserves respect from the Hou family's secret guards.
Qin Ruan smiled, curling her lips, as she heard Hou Zhi's words. How couldn't she see that the Third Young Master's mood was quite good today?
Cracking melon seeds absentmindedly, she casually asked, "How long has the Third Master not gone out to relax?"
Hou Zhi, who was about to answer, saw Hou Yunjiao and Hou Yirong enter the cabin, and her slightly opened mouth slowly closed.
She took a step back and bowed her head to the two of them, saying, "Second Young Master, Third Young Master."
Hou Yunjiao gazed at Qin Ruan's figure and smiled as he spoke, "If Ruan Ruan wants to know something, why not just ask me directly?"
Qin Ruan turned around to face Hou Yunjiao and Hou Yirong.
"Just chatting casually."
She placed the melon seeds on the small bar counter, clapped her hands, and walked towards the two of them.
Qin Ruan stood in front of them, her gaze focused on Huo Yirong. "Rong ge, approximately how long until we reach our destination?"
Hou Yirong replied, "The journey to our destination will take about three hours."
In other words, the round trip will take six hours, and if they also include night fishing, they won't return until late at night.
Hou Yirong teased, "Does the younger sister want to return overnight?"
Qin Ruan remained silent but blinked at him, the expression on her face indicating her agreement.
Hou Yirong's eyes curved with a smile as he mocked, "Is the younger sister so considerate of the Third Brother, afraid that he won't be comfortable staying on the ship?"
Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow, and a faint smile appeared in her sparkling eyes as she retorted, "Couldn't it be because I'm not comfortable myself, unable to adapt to staying on a ship?"
Hearing her mention discomfort, the Hou Yunjiao calm gaze receded, and his thin lips lightly pursed.
He took a step forward, holding Qin Ruan's chin slightly and gazing deeply into her flushed face.
The Third Lord asked in a deep voice, "Where does it feel uncomfortable? Are you experiencing morning sickness?"
Examining his expression carefully, the obvious nervousness on his face was evident.
"... " Qin Ruan's eye twitched slightly.
Can't the Third Lord tell that she and Huo Yirong were joking and changing the subject?
This man just openly made such an ambiguous move in front of others.
He's not shy, but she has to maintain her dignity.
Qin Ruan's peripheral vision glanced over, catching the radiant teasing smile on Huo Yirong's face.
She withdrew her chin from the Third Lord's grasp and took a step back. "I'm not feeling uncomfortable. I'll go find Second Brother."
In front of her were two cunning old foxes, so it would be better to make a retreat for now.
After Qin Ruan went upstairs, Hou Yirong leaned his arm on Hou Yunjiao's shoulder and laughed silently.
"Third Brother, you... hahaha..."
He couldn't stop laughing before finishing his sentence.
Upon seeing Qin Ruan's surprised expression, Hou Yunjiao realized that she was not feeling unwell.
As he watched Qin Ruan's figure disappear on the second floor, he chuckled softly and shook his head.
"This girl..."
Hou Yirong had laughed enough and asked, "Third brother, it seems like you're going to fall into the hands of this little girl. I haven't seen you so nervous in almost thirty years."
Hou Yunjiao lowered his gaze and looked at his teasing second brother, pushing him away. "Stop teasing. The ship is about to depart. Call everyone down."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the nearby recreational area.
Hou Yirong squinted his eyes, staring at his back, and mockingly said without reservation, "Third brother, I think you're both reserved and arrogant."
HouYunjiao, with his back turned to him, continued walking towards the recreational area without stopping.
He smiled with a twinkle in his eyes, not taking his second brother's words to heart. He appeared both helpless and rare.
Undeniably, Qin Ruan did occupy his thoughts.
But he didn't fall for her as his second brother had suggested.
Qin Ruan was young, pregnant, sensible, and obedient. She deserved a bit more compassion.
Hou Yunjiao found a comfortable seat and sat down, knowing that it would take a while for his second brother to gather everyone. His cold gaze locked onto Hou Zhi not far away.
"Have you noticed anything suspicious while accompanying Madam?" he asked.
Hou Zhi respectfully replied, "Apart from discovering that the Su family sent someone to tail us a few days ago, there haven't been any other appearances."
