MHMWTTSBATUAS 471: The Complexity and Innocence of Young Hearts

▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall

 


Chapter 471: The Complexity and Innocence of Young Hearts


Qin Ruan stepped forward, touching the tassels on her skirt, her eyes filled with adoration.


She murmured softly, "It looks so beautiful."


The delicate tassels possessed the beauty of the morning sun on fresh snow, exuding a crystal-clear and translucent charm between color and clouds.


Gorgeous, elegant, majestic, and dignified.


There was hardly any woman who could resist its allure.


Hou Yunjiao walked up to Qin Ruan and embraced her slender waist, gently caressing her belly.


"This banquet hosted by the Lu Family is to celebrate Lu Han's official entry into the cabinet. You're acquainted with Lu Han and Lu Yichen. If you don't want to socialize with other families, you can completely ignore them. You'll look especially stunning in this dress and be the most dazzling presence at the banquet. Take some time to show up at the Lu Family, and if you don't want to stay, you can come back, alright?"


Although Third Young Master compromised, he couldn't resist the urge to push Qin Ruan forward step by step.


He wanted to elevate Qin Ruan to a height where everyone would look up to her.


Unaware of Hou Yunjiao's sincere intentions, Qin Ruan withdrew her hand from the gown.


"I'll think about it."


Leaving room for negotiation after letting out a sigh of relief.


Hou Yunjiao curved his lips, thinking to himself that she was indeed a little girl who needed coaxing.


The reason Qin Ruan considered going was because of Lu Han.


In their few encounters, he had been helpful to her.


Tonight, she had caused trouble for him because of Yao Yao and Snowball.


Hou Yunjiao nudged Qin Ruan into the bathroom. "Go take a bath and rest early."


Qin Ruan entered the bathroom and saw the warm water in the bathtub, feeling a warm flow in her heart.


She felt grateful for Hou Yunjiao thoughtfulness and moved by his care for her.


When Qin Ruan walked out of the bathroom wearing the same pajamas as Hou Yunjiao, she saw him reclining on the bed, flipping through a book.


His gaze swept over Qin Ruan, noticing her slightly damp hair, and he furrowed his brows.


"Why didn't you dry your hair?"


Qin Ruan moved her wrist around. "My hand is tired."


She walked to the edge of the bed, lifted the covers, and lay down.


Seeing that she had no intention of drying her hair further, Hou Yunjiao sighed, got up, and went into the bathroom.


Soon, he came out with a hairdryer and helped Qin Ruan up from the bed.


"Let me dry your hair first; it won't be comfortable to sleep like this."


Qin Ruan sat up, holding the blanket, and complained, "It's too troublesome."

Huo Yunjiao lowered her gaze, while Qin Ruan's upper and lower eyelids seemed to be in a fight. An expression of impatience appeared on her face, indicating that she was truly tired.


Hou Yunjiao remained silent and lifted Qin Ruan's slightly damp hair, silently blow-drying it.


During this time, Qin Ruan's body gradually relaxed, leaning against Hou Yunjiao's sturdy abdomen.


Her eyes had completely closed, and her breathing had become steady.


Hou Yunjiao patiently blow-dried her hair.


Putting down the hairdryer, he looked at Qin Ruan, who was now completely asleep, without any awareness.


This sight made Hou Yunjiao involuntarily show a helpless and indulgent smile.


He didn't know whether to say that Qin Ruan was cautious about him or simply carefree.


Sometimes her trust made Hou Yunjiao feel perplexed, but her occasional vigilance made him doubt the authenticity of their previous trust.


Perhaps this was the nature of young people, complex yet innocent.


Hou Yunjiao held Qin Ruan's body, gently laying her down and making her comfortable on the bed.


...


When Qin Ruan opened her eyes, it was already bright outside.


She groggily reached out beside her and indeed found that he was no longer there.


Hou Yunjiao had left without saying a word.


Qin Ruan felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. She sat up, and her silky hair cascaded over her body.


She reached up to tuck the strands of hair that hung on her shoulder and furrowed her brow.


Last night, she seemed to have fallen asleep while Hou Yunjiao was blow-drying her hair.


Throughout her life, Qin Ruan had never experienced such meticulous care from someone.


Every aspect of her life in the Hou family was considerate and thoughtful.


Kneading her hair, Qin Ruan suddenly got up and hurriedly walked out of the bedroom.


"Good morning, Madam."


"Good morning, Madam."


As she descended the stairs, the servants she passed by respectfully greeted her.


Standing in the bustling hallway of servants, she couldn't find the familiar figure.


"What are you looking for, Madam?"


A familiar voice sounded from behind.


Qin Ruan turned around to see Lin Hao, dressed in a formal suit, looking at her with a bewildered expression.


She lowered her head and only then realized that although her pajamas were the same style as Hou Yunjiao, they were too thin and vaguely revealing.


Lin Hao's gaze was filled with surprise, and Qin Ruan furrowed her brow. "What are you staring at?"


He narrowed his eyes, a teasing expression appearing on his face. "The little girl has indeed grown up."


Qin Ruan glared at him and asked, "When did Third Young Master leave?"


"He left before dawn, probably around five o'clock."

Lin Hao responded to Qin Ruan while walking towards her.


He passed by Qin Ruan and walked to the sofa, picking up the coat that Hou Yunjiao had left downstairs last night.


Holding the coat, Lin Hao walked behind Qin Ruan and draped it over her.


He took a step back and casually said, "third young master instructed me before he left to stay by your side at all times. If anything happens to you, I'll be in trouble."


A chilly breath filled the air, and Qin Ruan didn't need to ask to know that it was Hou Yunjiao's coat.


She adjusted her clothes and frowned at Lin Hao, asking, "Did Hou Chuan give you any instructions last night?"


The latter grinned, "Hou Chuan assigned fifty shadow guards to me, at your disposal when you go out."


Qin Ruan asked, "Is there anything else?"


Last night, Hou Yunjiao had a discussion with Hou Chuan regarding the handover of affairs. It couldn't have been just that.


This time, Lin Hao smiled wickedly, "That's something Madame wouldn't be able to know."


Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Hao's face. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that his expression was asking for a beating.


She suddenly thought of something and her expression changed abruptly, "Could it be that third young master is seeing other women behind my back and wants your help to take care of them?"


"!!!"


Lin Hao's face suddenly changed.


He looked at Qin Ruan's serious expression with a strange look in his eyes and said, "What are you thinking? Third Young Master has never been involved with women, don't you know?"


Qin Ruan sneered, "How would I know? I've only known third young master for four months in total."


If we include their past lives, they had been together for more than just four months.


Lin Hao's lips twitched as he informed Qin Ruan, "San Ye has always controlled the Punishment Hall of the Hou family, and Hou Chuan came to manage it. This time, both third young master and Hou Chuan left, and they entrusted me with handling some matters in the Punishment Hall, but they are just trivial matters."


Qin Ruan's lips curled up, "You should have said so earlier. It's not like it's a big deal."


Meeting her playful gaze, Lin Hao finally realized that she was trying to deceive him.


He sighed softly, "Hou Chuan mentioned before he left that the Punishment Hall is too bloody, so he tried not to let you know as much as possible."


As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Ruan felt that something was off.


Since Hou Yunjiao coaxed her to attend the Lu family's banquet last night, Qin Ruan had sensed that he deliberately wanted to push her out and let her stand openly as the Hou family's Madam.
