Chapter 453: Ruan Ruan, Something Might Have Happened to Your Second Brother!


Hou Yunjiao didn't believe that Qin Ruan had any romantic feelings for Lin Hao.


Just now, he heard this girl say the word "like" to another man with his own ears. Undeniably, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and anger surged uncontrollably within him.


This anger was not directed at Qin Ruan but rather at the presence of Lin Hao, which he found exceptionally bothersome.


In the private thoughts of Hou Yunjiao, he considered Qin Ruan to already belong to him, and he wouldn't allow anyone to interfere.


Qin Ruan really wanted to ask the man before her eyes 'ThirdYoungMaster, are you jealous?'


But when faced with his emotionless gaze, she couldn't utter those words.


Qin Ruan smiled softly, saying, "Lin Hao was someone many of us admired in the past. He could fight and was favored by Jiang Liu. Women in the western city went crazy for him, and men aimed to be like him."


"Even I was no exception. The weak always admire the strong. When I was young, I thought physical strength could solve everything, but I've come to understand that it rarely does. Intelligence also has limited power in solving everything."


Hou Yunjiao's expression softened, and his fingertips brushed against Qin Ruan's captivating eyes, his movements gentle and carrying an indescribable ambiguity.


In a low and hoarse voice, he whispered in Qin Ruan's ear, "And now?"


Qin Ruan shook her head, saying, "I was foolish when I was young, but now I understand that physical strength cannot solve everything, and intelligence rarely can either."


"Smart," Hou Yunjiao chuckled.


This time, his smile reached his eyes.


Hou Yunjiao leaned down and kissed the corner of Qin Ruan's eye.


This kiss didn't contain any emotions or desires. It was an approval of Qin Ruan's response.


He released his hold on Qin Ruan's waist and held her face with both hands, solemnly assuring her, "I can give you anything you want, as long as you behave."


Qin Ruan's eyes curved, "Am I not well-behaved enough now?"


"Well-behaved, Ruan Ruan is the most well-behaved."


Hou Yunjiao held her hand and led her out of the sunroom, heading to the dining room.


The sky outside was covered in dark clouds, appearing particularly gloomy. But inside, the Hou Yunjiao exuded a sunny and pleasant aura.


The northern region had entered the rainy season. Each autumn rain brought a chill.


The rain made the air damp, and Qin Ruan's restless mood intensified along with it.


It had been raining in the capital city for the whole day, from morning till now without a break.


Qin Ruan sat on the wicker chair on the second-floor balcony, her beautiful eyes gazing at the rain outside.


The raindrops were like beads on a broken string, connected and forming water columns that fell onto the ground.


The water droplets on the glass windows also gathered into streams and slid down.


"Madam, it's cold. Please wear an extra layer of clothing."


Lin Hao approached Qin Ruan and handed her a coat.


Qin Ruan rested her head on the recliner, with indifferent in her expression.


Casually, she asked, "Where is the Third Young Master?"


"He is still dealing with matters."


"What time is it now?"


"It's three forty in the afternoon."

"So late."


Qin Ruan glanced sideways, her gaze calm as she looked at the tall man in front of her. Suddenly, she felt an urge to complain "I've been feeling uncomfortable all day, as if something is about to happen, very strongly."


Lin Hao's tense face paused slightly, worry flickering in his eyes. "Is it because you're feeling unwell?"


"No," Qin Ruan shook her head.


She had just been about to say something to Lin Hao to ease her restless heart when she realized that he wasn't the right person, and he didn't make her feel safe at all.


Qin Ruan stood up and took the clothes from Lin Hao's hand, draping them over herself.


"Where is Third Young Master? I'm going to find him."


"He's in the study."


Qin Ruan walked towards the bedroom.


It had been a day filled with ups and downs for her heart.


Deep down, there was a premonition that something bad was going to happen.


She wasn't sure what exactly it would be, disturbing her peace so much, but she hoped to find someone to listen to her and ease her worries.


The obvious choice was Third Young Master; he would be her best listener.


Just as Qin Ruan took a step out of the bedroom, the sound of her phone ringing, placed on the table inside the room, broke the silence.


The soothing ringtone reached Qin Ruan's ears, causing her heart to skip a beat.


She turned slowly, her dark eyes fixed on the phone lying on the table.


As if the dust had settled, her anxious heart suddenly became calm at that moment.


Qin Ruan's voice grew heavy, "Lin Hao, bring me the phone."


Without a word, Lin Hao turned around to get the phone.


As he reached for the phone, he glanced at the caller ID on the screen.


Qin Ruan squinted and asked, "Who's calling?"


"It's your father."


As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, Qin Ruan dashed off at the fastest speed.


Seeing this, Lin Hao's heart tightened, "Be careful, take care of your stomach!"


Although Qin Ruan was fast, she also took into consideration the child in her belly. She protected her abdomen with one hand and quickly took the phone from Lin Hao's hand with the other.


She swiped the phone to answer the call, "Hello?"


"Ruan Ruan, something might have happened to your second brother!"


Upon hearing Qin Ruan's voice, Qin Anguo went straight to the point.


Qin Ruan's eyelids twitched, and she gripped the phone tightly, "What happened to my second brother?"


"The night you stayed at home two nights ago, Ah Mei went out with his friends and hasn't come back since then. We couldn't reach him on his phone either.


Your eldest brother found out through his friend that they separated at the bar, and since then, nobody has any idea where Ah Mei is."


A chill ran through Qin Ruan's eyes, her voice freezing, "Which bar?"


Qin Anguo replied, "The underground bar of the Night Aristocrat Club."


"Night Aristocrat Club?" Qin Ruan quickly searched her memory.

She furrowed her brows, feeling an overwhelming sense of oppression all around her.


Hearing the name uttered by Qin Ru'an, Lin Hao's eyes dimmed slightly, and he quickly said, "The Night Aristocrat Club is next to the Imperial Palace Hotel."


Qin Ru'an lifted her eyes, her gaze filled with a fierce light, staring straight at him. "You know that?"


Lin Hao nodded, "Yes, I know. Su Jingshu took me there a few times."


On Qin Anguo's side, upon hearing Qin Ru'an talking to someone, he quickly said, "Your eldest brother has already taken people there. They wanted to check the surveillance footage of the bar, but they weren't allowed. Neither threats nor enticements worked. I don't know what to do. That's why I called you. Your second brother has had instances where he didn't come home for three to five days, but he always let us know he was safe. This time, we haven't heard from him for two days, and I'm really worried."


Qin Ru'an tightly pursed her lips, feeling a slight itch on them. She couldn't help but lick her slightly dry lips.


Staring into Lin Hao's eyes, she revealed an uncontrollable ferocity and murderous intent. "Who owns the Night Aristocrat Club?"


"The Su family," Lin Hao answered without hesitation, decisively and succinctly.


Upon hearing this, Qin Ru'an exuded a chilling murderous intent that made people's hair stand on end.


She couldn't help but connect her second brother's disappearance with the Su family.


Could Su Jingshu be involved in her brother's incident?


During their confrontation some days ago, Su Jingshu might have taken it to heart and sought revenge elsewhere, perhaps by targeting her family to warn her.


Qin Ru'an spoke calmly over the phone, "Dad, I understand. Wait for my news. I will find my second brother as soon as possible."
