Chapter 541: Gentle and Intimate Third Young Master Belongs to Ruan Ruan
Qin Ruan patted Hou Yunjiao's back and said, "Third Young Master, I wasn't bullied by Nangong Chang. It's just that this person gives me a bad feeling."
What she didn't say was the way Nangong Chang looked at her.
It was eerie, sinister, and filled with a nauseating gaze.
Hou Yunjiao rubbed his chin against Qin Ruan's head and spoke in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, you won't see this person again very soon."
His voice was as gentle as water, but there was a hint of dangerous coldness lurking in his dark eyes.
"Hmm?" Qin Ruan raised her gaze, her eyes filled with confusion.
Hou Yunjiao concealed the danger in his eyes, and a gentle smile blossomed on his handsome face.
He whispered, "You'll know soon enough."
Qin Ruan nodded, seeming to understand and yet not fully comprehend. She looked at the fading beast-like gleam in the Third Young Master's eyes.
Taking the opportunity to free herself from his embrace, she placed her hand on her stomach once again.
Her body was getting heavier day by day and couldn't withstand any further agitation.
Qin Ruan spoke again, "Third Young Master, I'm hungry."
"Get up, wash up, have breakfast, and come with me after that," Hou Yunjiao said in a soft and gentle voice, with an attitude that brooked no refusal.
Qin Ruan obediently nodded, "Okay."
Hou Yunjiao released his arms that encircled her, and she took the chance to escape from his embrace and stood up.
Seated on the edge of the bed, the Hou Yunjiao watched her retreating figure and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Qin Ruan quickly finished her morning routine, changed into comfortable casual clothes, and emerged from the dressing room.
During her preparation, Hou Yunjiao had already changed into a perfectly tailored handmade suit.
Today, he even wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which was a rare sight.
Most of the time, Hou Yunjiao only wore glasses when he was working in the office.
As Qin Ruan walked out of the room, ready to leave, she accidentally bumped into Hou Yunjiao who adjusted his glasses.
His action of adjusting the glasses carried an indescribable elegance and allure.
The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose concealed the cold and indifferent gleam in his eyes, making him appear more like a gentle and charming noble son.
This kind of Third Young Master looked even more refined and scholarly, exuding a strong scholarly aura.
Seeing Qin Ruan coming out, Hou Yunjiao's face lit up with a smile as if bathed in spring breeze.
He spoke warmly to Qin Ruan, "You go downstairs and have breakfast first. I'll go to the study."
"Alright," Qin Ruan obediently nodded.
The stunning light in her eyes couldn't be contained.
The corner of the Third Young Master's mouth lifted with a wicked smile as he left in a cheerful mood.
Qin Ruan lowered her eyes, snapping out of the Third Young Master's beauty.
She always felt that something was off.
The Third Young Master seemed gentle, but the unintentional aura of killing that emanated from him was easily captured by her.
At this moment, Qin Ruan's stomach played the tune of suspicion.
She no longer tried to guess Huo Yunqiao's thoughts and went downstairs to have breakfast.
No matter what he intended to do, he wouldn't harm her or the child. That was enough.
Qin Ruan went downstairs and saw Qin Mei and Qiao Xi sitting together on the sofa, with a proud white cat squatting in the middle.
Under the gaze of the two, Snowball raised its chin in a haughty manner, exuding an air of superiority as if it disdained their presence.
"What? It hasn't been long since we last met, and you've already started raising a cat? You don't seem like such a caring person," Qiao Xi said, resting his chin on his hand, his eyes fixed on Snowball.
The gleam in his eyes seemed to want to claim Snowball for himself.
Qin Mei lazily leaned against the sofa.
He reached out and stroked the soft fur on Snowball's back, sounding indifferent, "I have a caring heart, but unfortunately, I don't have it for this little thing. It tried to scam me into taking care of it."
Qiao Xi's eyes brightened, "From what you're saying, it seems like you don't want it?"
Qin Mei glanced at Qiao Xi from the corner of his eye.
He could tell that this guy coveted Snowball.
Qin Mei removed his hand that was resting on Snowball, and with a smile that was neither a smile nor a smirk, he said to Qiao Xi, "You want it? Take it with you then."
Without hesitation, Qiao Xi reached out his hand towards Snowball.
But just as his hand was about to touch Snowball, it moved.
Snowball's white, fluffy paw scratched Qiao Xi's hand back.
"Meow!"
After scratching him, Snowball let out a protesting meow.
This was its protest against Qin Mei.
"Hiss! This little thing is quite fierce!"
Qiao Xi, whose hand was scratched, quickly pulled it back.
He frowned and stared at Snowball, a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
Snowball tilted its head and glared at Qin Mei, clearly recognizing him as its owner.
Qiao Xi was infuriated that such a beautiful little creature had chosen Qin Mei. His face swelled with anger.
He really liked Snowball. This little thing looked adorable and clean.
Qiao Xi stood up and squatted in front of Snowball, pointing at Qin Mei to entice it. "Little one, this guy doesn't want you anymore. Come with me instead. I'll give you delicious food and fun things every day. It's definitely better than this heartless former owner who easily abandoned you!"
"Meow, meow!!"
Snowball bared its teeth and angrily meowed at Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi looked up at Qin Mei. "Did you already have this cat?"
Qin Mei's expression was mocking. "I swear on my conscience, I haven't had it for more than a few days."
If possible, he didn't want to have it for even a single day.
Qiao Xi grumbled, "Then how did it end up recognizing you?"
Qin Mei rolled his eyes. "I already told you, this cat scammed me."
"I think it's you who scammed me. You're just going around in circles to tease me!" Qiao Xi didn't believe Qin Mei's nonsense at all.
Cats, apart from dogs, are the animals closest to humans, but they are different from dogs.
Cats are difficult to form a close bond with. They are naturally independent and often appear aloof, unlike dogs that are very clingy.
It takes a long time to familiarize a cat with someone.
The white cat in front of them appeared aloof and proud, and it even seemed spiritually aware.
From its words and actions, Qiao Xi could tell that it only recognized Qin Mei.
This was not a bond that could be formed in a short time.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Qin Mei couldn't be bothered to argue about this.
Snowball scamming him was a fact.
Its temperament being foul was also a fact.
Snowball was angry and currently using its claws to scratch his pants.
In order to prevent his pants from getting torn, Qin Mei reluctantly held Snowball in his arms.
"Alright, alright! Don't be so temperamental. If you damage my pants, I'll end up with my bare bottom."
"Well, that won't happen. The Hou family won't be stingy enough to withhold a pair of pants from Second Brother."
Qin Ruan smiled and walked slowly towards the two of them, her voice ringing out.
As soon as she spoke, Qiao Xi, who had just sat down, instinctively stood up.
He turned around and obediently called out to Qin Ruan, "Sister-in-law!"
His voice was loud, like a primary school student seeing a teacher.
His behavior caught the attention of Qin Mei, who looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Qin Ruan glanced up and down at Qiao Xi. "Didn't you just come back the day before yesterday?"
Qiao Xi also felt that his attitude seemed a bit too strange.
He uncomfortably scratched the back of his head. "Grandfather sent someone to pick me up from Xicheng last night. He said that the capital city is not peaceful recently, so he wants me to stay at home."
"Not peaceful?" Qin Ruan murmured to herself.
Why would the capital city be unrestful recently?
What does this have to do with the early return of Third Master?
