Chapter 560: Madam is too fragile and needs careful care
Chapter 560: Madam is too fragile and needs careful care
Qin Ruan descended the stairs and saw Hou Qiang and Lin Hao sitting in the hall.
She tugged at her casual home attire and asked softly, "Why aren't you resting?"
Hou Qiang stood up and respectfully lowered his head, "Madam, Third Young Master returned overnight and may not be feeling well. We will rest later."
Qin Ruan's eyes flickered slightly. "Why did Third Young Master suddenly come back?"
Hou Qiang shook his head, indicating that he wasn't sure.
His gaze, however, was fixed on Lin Hao standing beside him.
Qin Ruan followed his line of sight and stared at Lin Hao.
The latter lowered his head and answered truthfully, "Third Young Master called and found out that Madam hadn't eaten dinner. He asked the kitchen to prepare a fresh meal and said he would return as soon as possible."
"Just for this little matter, you bothered Third Young Master?" Qin Ruan frowned, her expression not very pleasant.
She did have some minor emotions about Third Young Master leaving, but she wouldn't make a fuss about it.
Clearly feeling unwell himself, he still cared about her dinner and rushed back overnight.
Lin Hao just answered truthfully. He knew that Qin Ruan was showing her concern for Third Young Master and venting her anger on him.
The corner of his lowered lips curled up, and he whispered, "Madam kept calling for Third Young Master in her sleep, as if she were possessed by something."
Qin Ruan blinked, showing a surprised expression. "Did that happen?"
Lin Hao didn't seem like he was lying.
She didn't want to admit to this matter.
Lin Hao nodded, "The servant was afraid that you would be hungry if you didn't have dinner, so I went upstairs to check and heard you calling for Third Young Master."
"Cough, cough..." Qin Ruan coughed twice and didn't continue the topic, turning around to walk towards the dining room.
If someone didn't know, they would think she had deep feelings for Hou Yunjiao.
Due to Lin Hao's misleading, Qin Ruan thought that Third Young Master rushed back at night because she hadn't eaten dinner and called his name in her sleep.
How could she know that it was clearly Lin Hao's doing?
After Qin Ruan entered the dining room, Hou Qiang stared at Lin Hao with a complex expression.
When Lin Hao felt uncomfortable being watched, Hou Qiang slowly raised his thumb.
It had to be said that Lin Hao's move was quite clever.
The servants had already placed the food on the dining table when they saw Qin Ruan coming downstairs.
It was already midnight.
The table was filled with easily digestible dishes.
Of course, the daily medicinal soups cooked by the servants for Qin Ruan were indispensable.
Seeing the exquisite food, Qin Ruan's appetite was aroused.
But this meal didn't taste quite right to her.
Third Young Master rushed back late at night just because she hadn't eaten dinner and called his name in her dream.
This behavior touched her deeply.
At the same time, she also remembered that in the bedroom upstairs, after she woke up, Third Young Master told her that she had been sleep talking.
In her dream, it was all about her past life in Wanbao Mountain, and Hou Yunjiao talking to himself when he came to pay his respects to her.
She shouldn't say anything she shouldn't say, right?
The more Qin Ruan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, afraid of revealing something.
She quickly finished eating, got up and left the dining room, hastily going upstairs.
...
Upstairs
Hou Yunjiao estimated that it would take at least half an hour for Qin Ruan to finish eating downstairs.
His slender fingers unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his well-proportioned and strong chest.
After a while, on the luxurious carpeted floor, a top-tier brand belt fell.
Hou Yunjiao untied the restraints on his body.
Relieving and relaxing certain structural elements of himself.
It was as if he had returned to the day he first met Qin Ruan at the Imperial Palace Hotel.
At that time, when he met Qin Ruan, he was faintly ill, weak all over, his heart stopped, and his eyesight became blurry.
But he was deeply attracted by the fatal allure emanating from Qin Ruan.
His body, mind, and soul couldn't restrain the desire to get close to her.
Even though he couldn't clearly see Qin Ruan's face, he was still attracted by a certain aura emanating from her.
She was like an addictive temptation, making it impossible for him to resist.
There seemed to be a certain magnetic field between them, silently attracting each other.
Huo Yunjiao lazily leaned against the bedside.
He didn't make any moves and didn't intend to resolve anything.
He adjusted his breathing evenly, intending to suppress the sudden restlessness with his proud self-control.
However, the idea was beautiful, but reality was stark.
The bedroom door was opened by someone from outside.
Qin Ruan entered the room and clearly saw the disheveled appearance of Hou Yunjiao
He was covered by a blanket, but it wasn't tightly wrapped, faintly revealing a capital that made people's hearts race.
What shocked Qin Ruan the most was the desire and emotion on Hou Yunjiao's face.
Every part of his body was so perfect, outlining graceful contours.
Qin Ruan couldn't ignore it at all; she visually felt the impact.
When Third Master saw Qin Ruan rushing into the room, his blurred eyes quickly regained their sanity.
His strong will reminded him not to harm Qin Ruan.
He casually pulled the blanket, covering certain areas that were uncomfortable to be seen by the opposite sex.
Hou Yunjiao's expression was cold, and his tone was calm as he asked Qin Ruan, "Finished eating?"
His voice was still gentle, filled with indulgence.
Qin Ruan could sense a slight tremor in his voice.
"Um." She nodded blankly.
In her eyes, Hou Yunjiao was an ethereal and extraordinary noble son who was beyond worldly affairs.
She had never seen him like this before.
He had the normal emotions and desires of an ordinary person.
The charm exuding from his whole body was a pure masculine sensuality.
Qin Ruan felt a bit dizzy, as if her heartstrings were being plucked.
Because of the scenes that Hou Yunjiao had vaguely revealed before, there was some stirring in her heart.
The room fell into a quiet, yet awkward, silence.
The perfect curve formed by the corner of Hou Yunjiao's lips was flawless.
He gestured to Qin Ruan, "Don't just stand there like a fool."
Qin Ruan's heartbeat accelerated, and she closed the door, taking hesitant steps towards the edge of the bed.
For some reason, as she got closer to Third Master, her heartbeat became clearer.
She walked to the other side and lifted the blanket to lie down near the edge.
This action was a deliberate attempt to keep a distance from Third Master on the other side.
Hou Yunjiao saw everything.
In order to make Qin Ruan feel at ease and ease the impact from earlier, he dimmed the sleep lamp in the room.
He lifted the blanket and got up from the bed.
"Third Young Master, where are you going?"
A small hand, soft and slightly cool, grabbed his.
Hou Yunjiao turned back and looked at Qin Ruan, who had already moved to the center of the bed.
Her figure and facial contours were only vaguely visible under the dim light of the sleep lamp.
Huo Yunjiao took a deep breath and spoke softly, "To the bathroom, Ruan Ruan, be a good girl, let go."
If she didn't let go soon, he was afraid he would make a mistake.
As a human being, he also had emotions and desires, and Hou Yunjiao was no exception.
However, his rationality outweighed his emotions.
The mistakes they made when they first met Qin Ruan couldn't continue.
What was most important to him was that he didn't want Qin Ruan to endure too much hardship.
She was still in the pregnancy period, and her belly was larger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman.
If anything were to happen, while he might find solace in it, Qin Ruan would have to suffer.
In his eyes, the young girl was too fragile and needed careful care.
Qin Ruan didn't let go of his hand. She tilted her head, her eyes adjusting to the dim sleep lamp.
She gazed at the man standing by the bed, with only the rough outlines of his features visible.
"You, do you... want..."
She couldn't continue her words.
But her subtle invitation almost caused the restrained Hou Yunjiao to lose control.
