▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Qin Ruan lowered her gaze and let out a soft laugh.
Since it was all fake, what did she have to fear?
Moreover, she had never been afraid. It was just that many things were bound by the rules of reincarnation.
When Qin Ruan looked up again, a cold smile appeared on her face. Her eyes, shimmering with golden light, coldly stared at Hou Qiang and the familiar surroundings.
Qin Ruan walked towards the dining hall, and Huo Qiang immediately caught up, saying, "Miss, please leave the Hou family. You are not welcome here!"
Ignoring the voices of expulsion behind her, Qin Ruan quickened her pace.
At this moment, all she wanted was to ruin the good mood that had been spoiled and give a good beating to the person who had made her slightly sad before.
The members of the Hou family were already seated in the dining hall. Xiao Wenrou sat next to the Third Master, her posture full of the coquettishness of a young girl, which appeared quite affected to Qin Ruan's eyes.
When Xiao Wenrou saw Qin Ruan enter the dining hall, she reacted as if she had encountered a terrifying existence. She anxiously shouted, "How did you come in? Get out! Throw her out!"
Qin Ruan took three or four steps and stood in front of Xiao Wenrou, grabbing her collar and raising her hand to slap her.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Qin Ruan continued to slap her six or seven times before stopping, shaking her slightly sore hand.
She grabbed Xiao Wenrou's collar and looked at her mockingly, her face full of irony. "I don't care where you came from, even if this is a dream. Since it displeases me, don't even think about it!"
With that, Qin Ruan kicked Xiao Wenrou in the leg.
"Bang!" Xiao Wenrou, caught off guard, fell to her knees from the kick.
"Ah!"
Xiao Wenrou accidentally hit her head on a nearby chair and cried out in pain.
Xiao Wenrou grumbled, "Qin Ruan, you're asking for death!"
Qin Ruan grabbed her hair, making her look up at her, and sarcastically said, "So you do know my name. I thought you didn't."
She stared at Xiao Wenrou with a fierce gaze and a chilling tone, "Don't covet things that don't belong to you. Anything that belongs to me, even if I destroy it, I won't let anyone disgust me!"
Qin Ruan's overwhelming murderous intent mixed with the cold aura from hell made Xiao Wenrou feel afraid.
She turned to look at the Hou Yunjiao, who was sitting not far away, and pleaded, "Third Brother, save me!"
The latter's gaze was dull as he stared at the beautifully arranged dishes on the table, seemingly unaware of everything happening between Qin Ruan and Xiao Wenrou.
Not only him, but even old master Hou, Father Hou, Hou Junxin, and Hou Yirong, who had previously shown a friendly attitude towards Xiao Wenrou, remained indifferent.
They didn't even spare a glance for Qin Ruan and Xiao Wenrou.
Qin Ruan felt even more suspicious. She grabbed Xiao Wenrou's hair and forcefully slammed her head against the chair.
With each hit, the sound of the skull and the wooden chair playing a banging noise could be heard.
The sound was like a beautiful melody, bringing great pleasure to Qin Ruan's ears.
Xiao Wenrou did resist during that time, but how could she be a match for Qin Ruan? She quickly passed out from the blows.
Before fainting, she uttered harsh words to Qin Ruan, declaring that she wouldn't spare her.
With the person in her hand losing consciousness, Qin Ruan lost interest as well.
She dropped Xiao Wenrou and let her fall to the ground in a sorry state, then walked towards Hou Yunjiao, who was standing nearby.
Hou Yunjiao exquisite peach blossom eyes stared motionlessly at the dining table, while Qin Ruan waved her hand in front of him, but his eyes didn't blink.
Qin Ruan fixed her gaze on the man before her, and the ruthlessness and anger between her brows receded, replaced by a look of pensive confusion.
Seeing Hou Yunjiao standing with Xiao Wenrou earlier had clouded her mind, making her feel like the world was collapsing.
After being reborn, she developed an excessive dependence on Hou Yunjiao.
As long as she was by his side, she felt enveloped in a sense of security and had nothing to worry about.
This reliance and sense of security stemmed from the favor Hou Yunjiao showed her, both in this life and the previous one, without any pretense.
Qin Ruan was certain that this excessive sense of security and dependence did not come from love.
It was the warmth Hou Yunjiao gave her, an overt and unexplained favoritism.
She enjoyed the comfort zone he created for her.
The redemption Hou Yunjiao brought her in her previous life extended to this life, and she couldn't give it up.
But who could guarantee that this redemption and favoritism wouldn't encounter unforeseen changes, leading her into the abyss?
Qin Ruan bent slightly, extending her index and middle fingers to lift Hou Yunjiao fair and almost bewitching face.
His refined and noble appearance came into clear view, with deep facial features and flawless, delicate skin—such a face could captivate countless people.
Even Qin Ruan was no exception.
But who truly understood that beneath Hou Yunjiao seemingly gentle, refined, and good-tempered facade lay an indifferent nature, with a cold attitude towards those he didn't care about?
If he treated someone well, no one could resist, and they would inevitably fall deeply.
When he turned heartless, it would send shivers down one's spine, more terrifying than a demon from hell.
Qin Ruan's slender hands touched Hou Yunjiao's delicate face, and her fingertips slowly moved to the corner of his lips, gently lifting it.
A smile devoid of emotion appeared clearly on his handsome face.
Normally, Hou Yunjiao smile was gentle and warm, like a gentle spring breeze, making it impossible for people to look away.
But now his smile lacked emotion, yet it remained perfect and flawless, with no trace of impropriety.
With such noble, elegant, and enchanting appearance, and possessing both external charm and the power he held in his hands, he was undoubtedly a man favored by the heavens. For women, he had an undeniably fatal attractiveness.
Qin Ruan stared at Hou Yunjiao with an expressionless face, his perfect and handsome appearance remaining unchanged, with a hint of rational clarity in his eyes.
In the past life, the other party had a brief existence, and their warmth and redemption towards her made her willing to grow old together in this lifetime.
Qin Ruan clicked her tongue and patted Hou Yunjiao slightly elastic face. "Third Young Master, I hope you don't disappoint my expectations. I don't want our child to call someone else daddy."
She didn't expect Hou Yunjiao to love her, nor did she hope for endless tolerance and indulgence from the other party for a lifetime. As long as they could stumble through life together, it would be fine.
As for love and romance, those things were too elusive for her.
At the moment, the lives of her and the child still relied on the spiritual power to continue, which was more important than emotions.
Qin Ruan touched Hou Yunjiao smooth cheek, feeling its texture. It felt quite good, so she touched it a couple more times before slowly retracting her hand.
She raised her eyes, furrowed her brows, and scanned the familiar surroundings.
She had lived in the Hou family for a while, and everything here was so familiar to her, but now it felt twisted.
Qin Ruan chuckled lightly with a sarcastic expression and whispered, "Fake, it's all fake."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it echoed infinitely in the empty room.
The world in front of her collapsed, turning into fragments under Qin Ruan's gaze.
Even she herself gradually became transparent.
When she looked at old master Hou, Hou Yunjiao, and the others, they also cracked open along with this false world, turning into countless small fragments scattered in the void.
"Madam, madam?"
"Madam, you're awake. People from the Nangong family have arrived."
"Madam, are you awake?"
A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and Qin Ruan lay in bed with her legs tucked under the blanket, frowning tightly.
She hadn't opened her eyes yet, but she pressed her forehead, which was affected by the headache, and asked hoarsely, "Hou Zhi?"
Seeing Qin Ruan waking up, Hou Zhi took a step back, standing respectfully by the bed. "It's me, madam. People from the Nangong family have arrived. Would you like to see them?"
Qin Ruan opened her slightly drowsy eyes and lazily asked, "What about Second Master?"
Hou Zhi spoke softly, "Second Master went to the company. If you don't want to see the guests, shall I inform them?"
Qin Ruan got up from the bed, her voice slightly low, and asked casually, "Who has come?"
Hou Zhi replied, "Madam of the Nangong family, Xiao Wenrou."
Qin Ruan, who was already feeling a bit of a headache from just waking up, furrowed her brows slightly deeper upon hearing Huo Zhi's words.
Impatiently, she asked, "What does she want?"
Huo Zhi's voice turned cold, "I'm not sure. I asked her, but she didn't say anything." The annoyance towards Xiao Wenrou was not concealed in her words.
Qin Ruan looked up, her gaze complex as she stared at the person standing in front of the bed, one of the respectful leaders of the Huo family's secret guards.
Just now, while still in a dream, Huo Zhi showed excessive respect towards Xiao Wenrou. But now, his face is filled with disgust.
This momentarily keeps Qin Juan immersed in the scene from the dream.
Everything in the dream is too real, and everyone's expressions are flawless.
If she hadn't spent some time with Hou Yunjiao and known some of his daily life details, Qin Ruan would still be immersed in the dream.
However, whether it's a dream or reality, one thing coincides: Xiao Wenrou personally visited the Hou family on the second day of the grand wedding.
Qin Ruan rubbed her temple to ease her headache and said to Hou Zhi, "Let her wait downstairs."
She didn't ask about Hou Yunjiao condition, possibly because the shadow created by the dream hasn't dissipated, or perhaps because she no longer wants to rely on him from the bottom of her heart.
Of course, Qin Ruan is also aware that if Third Master woke up, Hou Zhi wouldn't fail to inform her proactively.
Since Hou Zhi didn't mention it, it means Third Young Master is still in the secret room.
"Yes, I'll go now," Hou Zhi turned and left the bedroom.
Qin Ruan got up and stepped onto the floor. The furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and a cold aura emanated from her.
Xiao Wenrou, this woman really knows how to pick her timing.
...
Half an hour later.
Qin Ruan appeared in the grand hall downstairs, and Xiao Wenrou sitting on the sofa came into her view.
The other party clearly appeared meticulously dressed, with flawless makeup, exquisite attire, and a faint scent of high-end perfume emanating from her, all indicating to everyone how much effort she put into her appearance before coming to the Hou family.
Xiao Wenrou was sitting in the Hou family's grand hall, flipping through today's morning newspaper.
Electronic devices are prevalent nowadays, but the Hou family has always maintained the habit of reading printed newspapers.
When Xiao Wenrou saw Qin Ruan coming downstairs, she put down the newspaper.
She glanced at her wristwatch, frowned slightly, and asked with a questioning tone, "Where is Third Young Master?"
Qin Ruan's eyes revealed a touch of contempt as she slowly lowered her gaze and sat down opposite Xiao Wenrou.
When Hou Zhi saw Qin Ruan coming downstairs, she had instructed the kitchen to bring today's medicinal soup.
The kitchen servant placed the delicate medicinal soup bowl in front of Qin Ruan.
Taking a step back, the servant respectfully and softly said, "Madam, this is today's medicinal soup. It has a slightly sweet and sour taste. Please try it and see if it suits your palate."
Qin Ruan gaze focused on the medicinal soup in front of her. The color looked good, and the air carried the aroma of food and a faint scent of medicinal herbs.
