▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
"We have arrived."
Liu Jisheng answered his phone.
He looked up and met the eerie gaze of the Hou family's secret guard. He couldn't utter a word.
"Well done, wait for me! We'll be there in half an hour!"
Upon hearing that Qiao Xi had already arrived at the Zhenpin Hall, Xiao Yujie hastily left the Gentle Town.
The call ended, and Liu Jisheng stared at the disconnected phone, imagining the excited expression on the other end.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yujie didn't know that everything he was about to encounter would be a trap.
Qin Ruan pushed open the door in front of her and found that there were already people inside.
There were seven or eight people in the room, two of whom were familiar faces.
One was Ling Xiaoxuan, whom she rarely contacted during the holidays.
She was sitting next to a young man, and they seemed to be very intimate.
The other person was Rong Jing, sitting upright and looking somewhat restrained.
As the door opened, everyone's gaze turned towards the entrance.
"Qin Ruan!"
Ling Xiaoxuan was the first to speak, sounding excited.
Rong Jing saw Qin Ruan and also showed a hint of curiosity in his expression.
He opened his mouth to say hello but glanced at the man sitting beside him and slowly closed his mouth.
Ling Xiaoxuan was different; she saw Qin Ruan and stood up, rushing over.
"Qin Ruan, why are you here too? Were you also invited by Xiao Yujie?"
Qin Ruan stood at the doorway, her eyebrow slightly raised at the words, with an indescribable expression on her face.
She asked Ling Xiaoxuan, who had approached her, "How long have you been here?"
Ling Xiaoxuan smiled coquettishly, "I just arrived not long ago. I mainly wanted to see what the Zhenpin Hall is like."
"Does your uncle know?" Qin Ruan's words made Ling Xiaoxuan's smile fade away completely.
She lowered her eyes and said indifferently, "No, I don't know what he's been busy with lately. He doesn't have time for me."
Qin Ruan raised her gaze, and her cold eyes fell upon the man who had been intimate with Ling Xiaoxuan earlier.
He had a decent appearance, gentle and refined, exuding a mild temperament.
Meeting Qin Ruan's gaze, the man curved his lips, nodded slightly, displaying his courtesy.
Ling Xiaoxuan followed Qin Ruan's gaze and met Linn Ning's gentle smiling face.
She pursed her lips, a shy smile appearing on her face.
She introduced him to Qin Ruan, saying, "His name is Lin Ning, he's my boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Qin Ruan's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She had just broken off her engagement with her previous fiancé, and Ling Xiaoxuan already had someone else. Wasn't this a bit too fast?
Ling Xiaoxuan nodded, "Yes, he's a doctor and very good at taking care of people."
She twirled her fingers around the burgundy waves cascading down her shoulders, her voice soft and coquettish, transforming her seductive demeanor into that of a shy little girl.
Qin Ruan looked at her abnormal senior sister and felt a strange sensation in her heart.
She cautiously asked, "Did your family arrange this marriage for you?"
"No, we met during the summer vacation. I bumped into his car, and we exchanged numbers. Through subsequent communication, we developed feelings for each other."
Ling Xiaoxuan explained quickly and skillfully to Qin Ruan.
Her tone sounded rehearsed.
Qin Ruan's feeling of unease grew even stronger.
Liu Jisheng and the Hou family's secret guard approached, but Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan blocked the entrance, preventing them from entering.
Liu Jisheng asked, "Why are you standing outside the door and not coming in?"
"Yes, since you're here, come in and have a seat. I heard there's a good show tonight."
Ling Xiaoxuan pulled Qin Ruan's arm and walked towards the room, her voice filled with anticipation as she spoke of the gathering tonight.
A good show?
Qin Ruan's lips curled up, revealing a wicked smile.
This is going to be interesting.
She was looking forward to the moment when Xiao Yujie arrived and realized that Qiao Xi hadn't come.
There were people in the room who knew Qin Ruan, and there were those who didn't.
Those who knew her had seen her at the wedding of Nangong Chang and Xiao Wenrou.
They looked at Qin Ruan with inquisitive eyes, lacking any respect for the people from the Hou family.
Those who didn't know her showed curiosity towards Qin Ruan.
Ling Xiaoxuan pulled Qin Ruan to sit beside her.
At this moment, to Qin Ruan's right was Ling Xiaoxuan, and to her left was a remarkably handsome young man, with the well-behaved Rong Jing beside him.
If Qin Ruan hadn't witnessed Rong Jing's rebellious nature before, she would have actually mistaken him for a quiet and handsome young man.
While Qin Ruan was observing Rong Jing, a slender and beautiful hand reached out in front of her.
"Hello, I'm Lin Ning, Xiaoxuan's boyfriend."
Qin Ruan turned her head and met the gaze of the man sitting next to her, separated by Ling Xiaoxuan.
Qin Ruan didn't extend her hand but smiled distantly.
In a calm voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuations, she said, "Hello, I'm Qin Ruan."
Seeing that she didn't shake hands, Lin Ning smoothly withdrew his hand without any awkwardness.
He put his arm around Ling Xiaoxuan's shoulder and casually said, "Xiaoxuan has mentioned you to me. You're her good friend."
"Of course, Qin Ruan is my goddess. You have no idea how amazing she is. She fights even more fiercely than men. I can't compare to her."
Ling Xiaoxuan leaned naturally against Lin Ning's chest, her words filled with a sense of pride and satisfaction.
"Yes, yes..." Lin Ning affectionately pinched Ling Xiaoxuan's nose and chuckled, "If I didn't know she was a girl, I would've thought you had feelings for her. I almost got jealous."
Ling Xiaoxuan playfully tapped his chest, "You're annoying. You always know how to make me happy."
Lin Ning held Ling Xiaoxuan's wrist and gazed into her smiling eyes, his voice gentle, "Darling, I'm serious. I never joke when it comes to you."
Ling Xiaoxuan had never heard such cheesy sweet talk before, and she instantly became shy, shrinking into Lin Ning's embrace.
Qin Ruan sat on the side, unable to help but shudder.
Lin Hao, who was standing behind her, widened his eyes like a stunned puppy, looking incredulously at this affectionate banter between the couple.
Qin Ruan could tell that something was off with Ling Xiaoxuan. She was really off.
It hadn't been that long, but her personality had completely changed.
Liu Jisheng moved a wooden stool and sat across from Qin Ruan, separated by a black patterned marble table.
Before he could engage in conversation with Qin Ruan, someone approached him to say hello.
Hou Family's secret guards, who had entered the room, stood in formation behind Qin Ruan.
The grandeur of this scene puzzled everyone.
There was no need for such a show when going out. It seemed as if they were causing trouble.
Qin Ruan leaned back on the sofa, ignoring the playful banter between Ling Xiaoxuan and Lin Ning.
She wondered what had happened to her senior sister during the summer vacation. Her temperament and character had changed.
She should take the time to ask her about it.
Qin Ruan's gaze swept across the room and landed on Rong Jing, who was sitting alone in the middle.
This guy was also staring at Qin Ruan. When their eyes met, he blinked intentionally, his eyes shining brightly.
Qin Ruan sneered, "Did your eyes twitch?"
Rong Jing's smile froze on his face.
The man sitting between them glanced at Rong Jing.
Rong Jing immediately transformed into a serious and solemn appearance, respectfully calling him, "Eldest Cousin.
