▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Qin Ruan's deep and secluded eyes fixed on the three characters of Zhenpin Hall, and a layer of frostiness tainted the gentleness in her gaze, like a deep pool with an unfathomable coldness.
Zhenpin Hall was adorned luxuriously, but she could imagine the gray scenes inside, suffocating and oppressive.
Qin Ruan raised her gaze and stared at Qiao Xi intently. "Have you been there?"
"Yeah! It's so much fun inside!" Qiao Xi was still immersed in the joy of sharing and didn't notice Qin Ruan's odd expression.
Qin Ruan calmly asked, "What's inside?"
"There are lots of fun activities, shooting range, boxing ring, casino, and plenty of handsome guys and beautiful girls!" Qiao Xi slid his finger on the phone screen and revealed the next picture.
Qin Ruan saw girls wearing sexy uniforms with bunny ears on their heads on the screen.
Not all of them could fake a smile. Three out of the five girls looked distressed.
"Don't you think these girls are beautiful? And there's more..." Qiao Xi slid the phone screen again, revealing muscular men with determined or delicate facial features.
These men were dressed quite boldly, especially in certain areas that directly highlighted their attributes.
Qin Ruan's eyebrows tightened even more. "Qiao Xi, do you know what kind of place this is?"
"I do. It's like the Night Aristocrat Club, a place that offers entertainment. I especially like their boxing ring; it's more thrilling than anywhere else. It gets the blood boiling. Third Sister-in-law, didn't you also hang out in the boxing ring before? Shall we go there together for a stroll? If Third Brother isn't around, we can sneak in, and he won't find out," Qiao Xi tried to tempt Qin Ruan, wanting to take her to Zhenpin Hall to have some fun.
"Cough, cough..." Lin Hao, leaning against a nearby display case, heard this and coughed softly twice.
Qiao Xi turned around and examined Lin Hao.
Though he seemed unfamiliar, the fact that he appeared at the Hou family meant he was one of them.
Lin Hao spoke gently to Qiao Xi, "Young Master, Madam is pregnant; it's not convenient to go to such a place."
Lin Hao couldn't be more familiar with Zhenpin Hall. He knew exactly what kind of people were inside.
Both young and old, the elders were once revered figures, while the young men and women were mostly pampered and indulged, having enjoyed a life of luxury as the cream of the crop.
They were not bound by iron chains in Zhenpin Hall but had lost their complete freedom. Their actions were all coerced.
To live in Zhenpin Hall was the greatest tragedy of their lives.
Lin Hao's reminder made Qiao Xi's face pale. He had completely forgotten about that aspect.
Qiao Xi only knew that Qin Ruan had once mixed in the West City and, like him, liked to use fists to solve problems.
This made him have an inexplicable fondness for Qin Ruan, his third sister-in-law.
That's why he thought of finding her to go together when he discovered the new amusement park.
Qiao Xi stared at Qin Ruan's belly, and his handsome, delicate, and pretty face wrinkled like a bun.
He said curiously, "It doesn't feel like it's been long, but why is your belly getting big again, sister-in-law?"
Qin Ruan gently caressed her abdomen, not letting Qiao Xi topic change distract her from the previous question.
"Qiao Xi, do you know that the Zhenpin Pavilion belongs to the Nangong family?"
"I know," Qiao Xi obediently nodded, and the excitement on his face faded away.
He knew some of the complicated relationships among the major forces in the capital.
The Hou family and the Nangong family were friendly on the surface but secretly engaged in calculations against each other, which was inevitable throughout history.
The power of the Doyle family in the Kingdom of Yin was immense, and they were also famous worldwide, facing numerous minor disturbances within the family every year.
There were constant internal maneuvers within the family, and the antagonistic heads were always stirring up trouble.
Qiao Xi didn't understand why his father, as the head of the Doyle family, didn't wipe out their mortal enemies once and for all or clean up the people within the family.
Qiao Xi had asked his father this question before.
His father probably knew that Qiao Xi wasn't particularly bright, so he only told him one thing: some things couldn't be solved at their root.
Qin Ruan relaxed lazily on the back of the sofa, supporting her head with one hand, and looked at Qiao Xi with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.
The guilt and frustration on his face were clearly seen by her.
Without asking, Qin Ruan also knew that Qiao Xi regretted sharing this joy with her.
The reproach that was about to be spoken vanished when she saw Qiao Xi's disappointment.
Qin Ruan asked, "Did you go there by yourself?"
Qiao Xi thought she was interested, so he replied, surprised, "No! Someone took me there, and there was nothing messy."
The content contained in that "messy" was quite extensive.
Qin Ruan was not interested in it. She wanted to know who took Qiao Xi to the Zhenpin Pavilion and what their purpose was.
"A new friend?"
Qiao Xi looked astonished, "Yes! Sister-in-law, how do you know everything?!"
Qin Ruan smiled and remained silent, her gaze passing over Lin Hao.
Upon hearing Qiao Xi answer, the latter's expression changed slightly.
Qiao Xi was from the Hou family and was not aware of many things in the deep waters of the capital.
If he was being manipulated by someone outside, he didn't know what would happen.
Nangong and the Su family now dare to secretly act even against Third Young Master. They don't really care about Qiao Xi.
Qin Ruan pinched her slightly long fingernails and casually said to Qiao Xi, "I can't go to the Zhenpin Pavilion. I'm not feeling well. If you want to go there to have fun, I won't stop you. But next time, let me know in advance just to be safe. Can you do that?"
Qiao Xi raised his hand with a smile, squinting his eyes. "Of course! There are so many people there, no one will notice me."
His fondness for Qin Ruan was growing.
Qin Ruan wouldn't be like his older cousin, who tried to stop him from doing anything.
Not only that, his cousin would also take the opportunity to lecture him on a bunch of things.
He couldn't understand any of it, just like listening to a monk reciting scriptures, making him feel drowsy.
Feeling relaxed, Qiao Xi quickly said to Qin Ruan, "Third Sister-in-law, I have plans to go to the Zhenpin Pavilion tonight with someone. I originally wanted to take you with me, but unfortunately, you can't go because of your current condition."
He lowered his head and looked at Qin Ruan's belly, his expression filled with regret.
As if Qin Ruan had missed the most important experience in life.
Qin Ruan's lips curved up, and a faint smile appeared on her face. "It's alright. There will be other opportunities in the future."
She advised Qiao Xi, "I won't stop you from going, but don't cause any trouble. Third Young Master and Brother Rong are both away recently. If something happens to you, it will alarm Grandfather, and no one will be able to protect you then."
Qiao Xi raised his hand again, earnestly assuring her, "I promise not to cause any trouble. I'm just going to have fun. I won't stir up any problems!"
"That's good. Call me if you need anything. Don't try to solve problems with your own fists."
"Yes, I understand."
After Qiao Xi repeated his assurances, he left.
Once his figure disappeared at the doorway, the smile on Qin Ruan's face faded.
She maintained a calm expression, her deep gaze flickering toward Lin Hao. "Before Hou Chuan left, did he mention anything about Qiao Xi? Does he have anyone protecting him?"
