Chapter 452: Does Ruan Ruan Like This Kind of Man?


Qin Ruan turned around, and Hou Yunjiao, who leaned against the door, was smiling at her.


He was dressed in comfortable home clothes, holding a folder in his hand, exuding an elegant and refined aura.


Qin Ruan's eyes trembled slightly as she lazily replied, "I don't feel like moving."


Hou Yunjiao walked into the room, casually placing the folder on the table, and approached the bed.


He sat by the bedside and touched Qin Ruan's forehead, "Your temperature is normal. Why are you feeling lazy today? Were you tired from yesterday?"


"It's nothing, I just don't feel like moving."


Qin Ruan slowly closed her eyes, and a faint scent of sandalwood wafted into her nostrils.


The familiar fragrance made her feel at ease.


Hou Yunjiao's slender fingers touched Qin Ruan's cheek, sliding gently on her smooth face. His tone was gentle as he said, "It's already nine o'clock. How about getting up and having something to eat?"


His voice was full of tenderness and had a deep and soothing tone, very pleasant to the ears. Qin Ruan's ears twitched twice.


This voice was too captivating.


The gentle and indulgent voice, like the lingering night breeze, stirred her restless heart even more. Qin Ruan, who was already in a restless mood, became even more agitated.


She opened her eyes and saw the restrained Hou Yunjiao in front of her.


Seeing Qin Ruan open her beautiful eyes, Hou Yunjiao chuckled softly, "Get up, have something to eat first, and then go back to sleep?"


His eyebrows twitched slightly, his eyes shimmering, and the smile on his handsome face was both charming and teasing, calming Qin Ruan's anxious emotions once again.


She felt that even a slight smile from the man in front of her was stirring her heart.


Suddenly, Qin Ruan reached out her arms towards Hou Yunjiao.


This gesture of wanting to be held momentarily surprised Hou Yunjiao. A look of astonishment flashed across his face, but it quickly disappeared.


Hou Yunjiao bent down and picked up Qin Ruan, who was lying on the bed and refusing to get up, and held her in his arms.


He carried her towards the direction of the bathroom, teasingly saying, "Why didn't I notice before that you're so lazy?"


Qin Ruan raised her arm and hugged his neck, weakly saying, "It's said that lazy people have good luck."


Hou Yunjiao sneered at this, "What a nonsense."


Qin Ruan looked up, her eyes gazing at the man holding her. His long, dense eyelashes were like a small fan, casting a shadow on his eyes.


Even though this man was so elegant and refined, Qin Ruan inexplicably sensed a dangerous aura emanating from him.


No, something's not right!


Qin Ruan's nose twitched slightly as she sniffed lightly.


A faint scent of sandalwood always lingered around the Third Young Master, but with such close proximity, she also caught a hint of a bloody smell from him.


Qin Ruan instantly woke up and a puzzled expression appeared on her delicate face.


She opened her mouth and asked, "Third Young Master, what were you doing earlier?"


"Dealing with some matters."


Hou Yunjiao carried her into the bathroom, placing her on the non-slip mat on the floor, and picked up the shoes at the entrance, placing them in front of Qin Ruan.


"Put on your shoes, brush your teeth first, and I'll prepare the water for you."


Qin Ruan looked at the man's back as he turned away from her, and a glimmer of doubt flickered in her eyes.


What kind of matters would leave a faint smell of blood on him?


Thinking about how Hou Yirong and Hou Zhi had been away for a few days, Qin Ruan asked, "When will brother Yirong and Hou Zhi come back?"


Hou Yunjiao didn't even turn his head and replied, "They won't be back for a short while."

The tone was indifferent, devoid of any emotion.


Qin Ruan detected a hint of coldness in his tone.


She pursed her lips, swallowing the words she wanted to ask, and turned to wash up.


By the time she finished brushing her teeth and turned around, Hou Yunjiao was no longer in the bathroom.


Qin Ruan quickly finished washing up and left the bathroom.


This morning, Hou Yunjiao treated her with the usual gentleness, but she still vaguely sensed that something was off.


Perhaps this reaction was due to her own restlessness.


Could it be related to her unease since last night?


Qin Ruan walked out of the bathroom, and Hou Yunjiao was no longer in the bedroom.


She changed her clothes and walked out of the room, heading downstairs.


Downstairs.


Qin Ruan glanced around but didn't see Hou Yunjiao's figure.


As she approached the open-air sunroom, she spotted Lin Hao.


He was sitting on a high stool in the sunroom, looking contemplative as he gazed at the fine drizzle outside the window.


Qin Ruan approached and asked, "Has the Third Young Master not come downstairs?"


Her voice startled Lin Hao, who stood up and faced Qin Ruan with some distance in his demeanor. He said, "Third Young Master just came down and took Hou Chuan to the study."


"Did he mention anything?"


Lin Hao shook his head. "I'm not sure."


Qin Ruan noticed that he was acting strangely, displaying a clear sense of detachment in his attitude towards her.


"What's wrong with you today?" Her brows furrowed slightly.


Lin Hao's eyes flickered, then he curved his lips into a casual smile. "Oh, I'm just reflecting on myself."


Qin Ruan sensed something and couldn't help but chuckle. "Reflecting on what?"


Lin Hao teased, "Reflecting on knowing how to keep the appropriate distance from the Madame and not overstep my bounds."


"Hah!" Qin Ruan scoffed. "You're worrying over nothing. The term 'overstepping one's bounds' has nothing to do with you."


She spoke with dominance and confidence.


Lin Hao blinked. "Do you really believe that?"


"It's not about believing in you." Qin Ruan narrowed her beautiful eyes, exuding a powerful aura. "You pose no potential danger to me. In my eyes, your life is as fragile as an ant's."


To her, ordinary people were as insignificant as ants.


She wouldn't resort to killing unless necessary, but that didn't mean those people could harm her.


Lin Hao's concerns were far too unrealistic.


She had never considered Lin Hao a potential threat, and he was dispensable to her.


Repaying past debts in this lifetime was only for the sake of settling this karmic cycle.


Lin Hao wore a bitter smile and didn't argue.


He chuckled and shook his head. "Madame, your words are quite disheartening."


Qin Ruan lifted her eyebrows, maintaining a calm expression as she spoke in a composed tone. "I'm stating facts. You don't need to think too much about it. There's no need for you to restrict yourself around me. Just be yourself. I still prefer the carefree and unrestrained Wild Wolf Brother Hao in the West City. Why bother burdening yourself? Enjoying life is the beauty of being human."


"Madame, what are you saying?"


The deep voice of the Hou Yunjiao sounded from behind.

Qin Ruan turned her head, her waist was encircled by an arm from behind, and her whole body leaned against the chest of the person who approached.


Lin Hao's face was solemn, and he slightly lowered his head to Hou Yunjiao, "Third Young Master."


Hou Yunjiao didn't even glance at him, his deep eyes staring at the woman in his arms.


Qin Ruan turned her head, her beautiful eyes gazing at the handsome man in front of her, "Third Young Master, why did you come down?"


A charming smile curved Hou Yunjiao's lips, but unfortunately, the smile didn't reach his eyes.


He lightly opened his thin lips, his voice slow, "I was worried that you wouldn't eat properly, so I came down to supervise you."


Hou Chuan also came downstairs at the same time, and he gestured to Lin Hao, who was standing in front of his master and mistress.


The latter had keen eyes and quickly moved away from the sunroom.


Hou Yunjiao wrapped his arms around Qin Ruan's waist, their bodies pressed tightly together.


An invisible ambiguity spread recklessly in the sunroom.


Qin Ruan didn't know what was wrong with this man's mood; it was even more off than before in the upstairs bedroom.


Her tone remained calm, "I just came downstairs, I haven't had a chance to eat yet."


Hou Yunjiao pursed his pale lips, "I just heard Madam seems to have a liking for the wild wolf, Brother Hao, from the West City. Did little Ruan Ruan also have a fondness for the opposite sex when she was young?"


"..." Qin Ruan widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her with disbelief.


She wondered if she was hallucinating?

Or perhaps she hadn't fully woken up and was still in a dream.


No matter how Hou Yunjiao's words were heard, they were permeated with a strong jealousy.


To Hou Yunjiao, Qin Ruan's silence seemed like consent.


His deep peach blossom eyes observed Qin Ruan's expression, not missing the slightest detail.


Third Young Master: Ruan Ruan seems to be acting up today.
