Chapter 380: This is the Hou Family, you can't be insolent here!

Xiao Wenrou's face darkened, and a dangerous gleam appeared in her previously harmless eyes. "I won't leave. I won't leave until I see Third Young Master!"

Qin Ruan wasn't too surprised by Xiao Wenrou's sudden change.

Very few people from prestigious families are simple. Many of them put on a seemingly carefree and foolish facade, which is just a protective coloration.

Qin Ruan crossed her arms, her tone tinged with annoyance. "As his wife, I have the right to prevent you from seeing him!"

Xiao Wenrou sneered. "You're just a jealous woman!"

Qin Ruan nodded and didn't deny it. "Yes, I'm a jealous woman."

Fury flashed in Xiao Wenrou's eyes. "You're a heartless woman!"

Qin Ruan nodded again. "Yes, I'm heartless."

It had been a while since she heard that nickname. After all, who in the western city didn't know that Qin Xiaowu, as she was previously known, fought without fear and dared to cripple any man's beloved?

In that place in the western city, it was okay to have dirty hands, but she didn't allow anyone to soil her body.

For that, she had stained her hands with the blood of many people and earned the nickname of the Venomous Beauty.

Xiao Wenrou coldly looked at Qin Ruan reckless attitude and asked with a mocking smile, "Qin Ruan, are you scared?"

Qin Ruan let out a sigh. "Yes, I'm scared. So, please leave and don't delay my meal."

Upon hearing that she was scared, Xiao Wenrou sat triumphantly on the sofa. "I'm not leaving today!"

This crazy woman, who knows what she's trying to achieve here.

Qin Ruan raised her head and sighed. "Do as you please!"

With that, she turned and left.

However, after taking only a couple of steps, Qin Ruan stopped in her tracks.

Standing at the entrance to the basement corridor was a slender figure leaning against the wall.

The person wore a smile that seemed neither genuine nor fake, and the warmth and indulgence in their eyes were just as they had always been. It was unknown how long they had been there.

Qin Ruan blinked, instantly restraining her expression, and her face became emotionless.

Hou Yunjiao was still wearing yesterday's formal attire, casually leaning against the wall. The attractive arch of his brows and eyes exuded tenderness, and his sexy and cool lips curved slightly.

He didn't need to do anything; his whole being emitted an indescribable soft and elegant temperament.

He was still as dazzling and eye-catching as ever.

Hou Yunjiao deep, gentle eyes and faint smile were etched into Qin Juan's gaze.

Qin Ruan casually averted her gaze and greeted him. "Third Master."

A low chuckle echoed as Hou Yunjiao gracefully walked towards Qin Ruan. "Why haven't we seen each other for one night, and we're already estranged?"

His voice was clear and warm, like a gentle breeze in the evening, bringing comfort.

Qin Ruan eyes lowered slightly as she replied softly, "Third Master, you're overthinking."

"Is that so?"


Hou Yunjiao walked up to Qin Ruan and lifted her chin with his hand, making her look up at him.


"Look at this angry little face. Who bullied my little girl? Tell me, Third Brother will avenge you."


Listening to these words was simply absurd.


Clearly, he had been standing here all along, listening to the conversation between Qin Ruan and Xiao Wenrou. If anyone was infuriated, it was Qin Ruan who had silenced Xiao Wenrou, turning the young lady into a shrew.


Qin Ruan took two steps back, freeing herself from Lord Huo's control, and casually said, "No one bullied me."


Hou Yunjiao smiled, shaking his head gently. "I don't believe that."


He reached out, grabbing Qin Ruan's small hand and holding it in his own, leading her towards Xiao Wenrou. "I heard Lady Nangong wants to see me?"


Xiao Wenrou stood up, looking uneasy, and spoke softly, "Third Brother."


Lord Huo's face revealed a distant smile. "Lady Nangong, as my wife has already said, there are very few women from the Huo family, and I don't have a sister. You should use a different form of address."


Xiao Wenrou's face reddened from the slap, and she meekly called out, "Third Brother."


She raised her eyes, damp with tears, and stared directly at Lord Huo, anxiously asking, "Why are you still wearing yesterday's clothes?"


Hou Yunjiao held Qin Ruan's hand and sat on the sofa.


He reached out to pick up the medicinal soup on the table, stirred it with a spoon, and scooped up a spoonful, bringing it close to his lips. The temperature of the soup was just right.


Hou Yunjiao personally scooped up a spoonful of the medicinal soup and brought it to Qin Ruan's lips, absentmindedly answering Xiao Wenrou's question, "My wife was in a bad mood last night and kicked me out of the room. I slept on the first floor."


Qin Ruan looked at the soup brought to her lips and pursed her lips, without much hesitation or struggle. She opened her mouth and drank it.


Seeing this, Hou Yunjiao handsome and reserved face revealed a pleased smile.


He continued to feed Qin Ruan spoonful by spoonful, enjoying the process of feeding her.


This scene was extremely glaring in Xiao Wenrou's eyes.


She clenched her hands into fists, sharp nails sinking into her palms.


"Third Brother, this woman doesn't really love you. She's after the power and status of the Huo family. She's not worthy of you!"


"Is that so?" Hou Yunjiao lazily asked, his voice slow and casual, showing no concern.


He didn't even pause his hand holding the spoon.


Xiao Wenrou pointed at Qin Ruan, her tone sharp. "Yes, she admitted it herself!"


Seeing that Qin Ruan had drunk more than half a bowl of soup and Lord Huo was about to continue feeding her, Qin Ruan pushed away the spoon that was once again brought to her lips.


She furrowed her brows slightly and refused, "I can't drink anymore."


"Then don't drink." Lord Huo retrieved the spoon, leaving the remaining half bowl of medicinal soup on the table.


He looked up at Xiao Wenrou, his lips curling into a mischievous smile. With a deep and affectionate gaze, his peach blossom eyes half-closed, he appeared languid and luxurious.


"Madam Nangong, the matter of my relationship with my wife doesn't need others to meddle."


Xiao Wenrou's face was full of hurt as she unwillingly said, "She has hidden intentions, greedy for wealth and power. Keeping such a woman in the Hou family has no benefit at all!"


Hou Yunjiao lips curved into a satisfied arc as he glanced at Qin Ruan, who was sitting beside him, seemingly playing with her phone without a care in the world.

His gentle and doting voice resounded slowly: "Madam was having a quarrel with me earlier. Besides the limited influence of the Hou family, I have nothing else to offer her. It is my honor that Ruan Ruan chose the Hou family, so what does it matter if I give her the entire Hou family?"


Qin Ruan's delicate eyebrows raised slightly as she paused her fingers on the phone screen.


She met the indulgent and affectionate gaze of the Hou Yunjiao, and a gentle smile formed on her lips.


Hou Yunjiao squinted his eyes, speaking softly and affectionately, "I refuse to believe that Madam doesn't like me. How could she marry me and even carry my child if she didn't like me? Regardless of whether she likes me as a person or the power of the Huo family, the fact remains that she belongs to me."


"Third Master, have you gone mad?!"


Xiao Wenrou felt incredulous, her words almost breaking.


Qin Ruan chuckled, "Madam Nangong is so concerned about my relationship with the Third Master. Why not pay more attention to your own relationship with Nangong Chang?"


She shook the phone in her hand and revealed the enlarged photo on the screen, "Li Manning, the queen of the entertainment industry, has passed away. It has already been exposed online that she had a secret relationship with Nangong's young master. As the wife of Nangong's young master, instead of meddling in other people's affairs, shouldn't you focus on your own? Is your mind filled with nothing but water?"


Xiao Wenrou's eyes filled with anger as she stared coldly at Qin Ruan, "Qin Ruan, shut up!"


Hou Yunjiao furrowed his brow and warned sternly, "Madam Nangong, this is the Hou family. We won't tolerate your insolence!"


"I..."


"I'm sorry, but I cannot entertain you today. Hou Zhi, see our guest out!"


Hou Yunjiao stood up and led Qin Ruan towards the direction of the dining hall, ignoring the almost crying Xiao Wenrou behind him.


She stared at the departing figures of the Third Young Master Hou and Qin Ruan, shouting angrily, "Third Young Master, you will regret this! Your match with her is unsuitable. The relationships among the four major families and six prominent families in the current capital are tense, and the situation in the Hou family is already extremely critical!"


Hou Yunjiao didn't even turn his head and replied, "Madam Nangong, there's no need for you to worry about that. Please excuse us."


Qin Ruan paused her steps, as if she finally understood the purpose of Xiao Wenrou's visit today.


Hou Yunjiao stopped and looked at Qin Ruan with gentle eyes, as if asking her why she hadn't left yet.


Qin Ruan turned around, her gaze fixed on Xiao Wenrou with a half-smile, "So, what do you mean? Are you planning to abandon Nangong Chang and marry into the Hou family instead?"


Xiao Wenrou spoke with a righteous tone, "The Third Young Master can marry my sister, thus balancing the power between the Hou family and the Nangong family."


Qin Ruan's eyes flickered, her eyebrows raised slightly as she looked up at the Third Master, "Third Master, would you like to marry Miss Xiao from the Xiao family?"


Hou Zhi had mentioned before that Xiao Wenrou had a sister named Xiao wentian, the third Miss Xiao.


Was Xiao Wenrou really using herself as a bargaining chip, unable to marry the person she liked, so she wanted to send her sister to


 the person she liked?


She couldn't decide if the other party was magnanimous or simply insane.


What kind of twisted logic was this? The Third Young Master had become a pawn between the Xiao sisters.


Hou Yunjiao tightened his grip on Qin Ruan's hand. His gentle eyes turned dark as he stared deeply at her and said word by word, "I already have a wife."


Qin Ruan looked back, glanced at Xiao Wenrou, and said, "You heard him. The Third Master is already married. Are you treating me like a dead person?"


She released the Third Master's hand and walked step by step towards Xiao Wenrou, saying, "You're a really strange woman. You come early in the morning to disturb my peace, and in front of me, you try to push your sister onto the Third Master. Are you trying to take advantage of my good temper?"

"You are not worthy of Third Young Master at all!" Xiao Wenrou was unaware of the danger approaching and maintained her haughty posture, looking down at Qin Ruan with a disdainful expression on her face.


Qin Ruan stood before her and raised her hand, delivering a slap.


"Smack!"


Qin Ruan's palm landed on Xiao Wenrou's face, and before the latter could react, Qin Ruan grabbed her by the hair and pulled her close.


"I'm not worthy, but your sister is?!"


"Now, Third Young Master Hou is mine. Since he belongs to me, I don't need you to meddle. As long as he is mine, no one is allowed to have any thoughts about him!"


Qin Ruan tightened her grip on Xiao Wenrou's hair, applying some force, and said menacingly, "As for you, go back to wherever you came from. Don't seek attention here! If I hear about you trying to get close to Third Young Master again, I'll slap you every time I hear it!"


Xiao Wenrou had never been slapped before, and she was stunned by Qin Ruan's slap, staring at her in disbelief.


After a while, her voice trembling, she said, "You shrew!"


Qin Ruan pulled Xiao Wenrou's hair and slapped her face with her other hand, full of humiliation.


"I'm not just a shrew, I can also kill without batting an eye. Don't think for a second that I'm easy to bully. If you want to ride on my neck, make sure you can handle the weight!"
