Chapter 579: Qin Ruan is Third Young Master Hou's destined companion
Beijin Zhou had no idea about the complex emotions in Su Jing Shu's heart. Her ten years of feelings and pursuit were shattered by Hou Yirong's own hands today. She wished everything was a lie, but the truth was so cruel, leaving her battered and bruised emotionally, with a heart full of holes, seeking refuge but finding none.
At this moment, she didn't know whom to blame - her own foolishness, Nangong Chang's deliberate deceit, or Third Young Master Hou...
No, she couldn't blame Third Young Master Hou. Thinking of all the schemes she plotted against the Hou family and Third Young Master, Su Jingshu felt dizzy and disoriented. She tightly grasped Beijin Zhou's arm, trembling uncontrollably.
Su Jingshu had no strength left to leave; she implored Beijin Zhou, "Beijin Zhou, take me away."
Hearing the tremor in her voice, Beijin Zhou embraced her and walked out quickly. His men also retracted their weapons and followed.
Watching the figures of Su Jingshu and her group leave, Hou Yirong's eyes flashed with a hidden danger. His lips tightened into a straight line, and his elegant face remained indignant.
Learning that Su Jingshu had spent ten years climbing to the position of power in the Su family solely for Nangong Chang, Hou Yirong's emotions became complex. He felt anger, annoyance, helplessness, and even a hint of discomfort and pity for Su Jingshu.
To think that this woman had devoted a decade of her life to Nangong Chang because of a lie! How many years can a person spend on something?
He shattered Su Jingshu's faith with his own hands. He thought the realm he lived in was like heaven, but after breaking through that unstable barrier, he exposed an endless abyss.
For the rest of her life, Su Jingshu would be living in misery. But even all this couldn't satisfy Hou Yirong's sense of accomplishment for revealing the truth about how his third brother saved Su Jingshu.
If his third brother hadn't gone abroad, if an undercover agent from the Hou family had accompanied Su Jingshu instead, maybe this ten-year-long misunderstanding would never have happened.
Nangong family wouldn't have grown so arrogant and lost their sense of direction. Would Su Jingshu have transferred her affections to his third brother instead, potentially becoming his sister-in-law or even his companion?
Hou Yirong chuckled, shaking his head to dismiss the thought. Su Jingshu wouldn't become his sister-in-law.
His third brother was cold-hearted and emotionless. His relationship with Qin Ruan was an inexplicable attraction between their auras. It was as the Ling Xuzi had said - Qin Ruan might be his third brother's destined companion.
Although there was some uncertainty, Hou Yirong believed it to be true. Over the past few months, he had observed the interactions between his third brother and Qin Ruan. He saw how he prioritized her in every matter, always putting her first.
In terms of their daily life, his third brother was like a completely different person - loving, caring, and attentive to Qin Ruan's every need.
This side of his third brother astonished everyone in the Hou family. They appeared calm on the surface but were shaken inside. They realized that the Hou family's future mistress had been decided.
Qin Ruan had already occupied a special place in his third brother's heart.
Hou Yirong clenched and then relaxed his grip on the railing. He didn't like how his third brother was so eager to pave the way for Qin Ruan. The arrangement seemed like he was preparing for future events.
"Second Young Master, Third Madam is back," a subordinate walked over and informed him in a low voice.
Hou Yirong's melodious voice carried a hint of hoarseness as he asked, "Where is she now?"
"In the house, just arrived," the subordinate replied.
"Prepare the carriage; let's go meet your future lady," Hou Yirong said with a smile.
...
After returning to the Hou family mansion, Qin Ruan's complexion worsened. Whether it was just her imagination, she felt that something had been following them on their way back.
Her psychic power searched around, but she found nothing. The feeling disappeared only after the car entered the Hou family estate.
The Hou family had a protective barrier against any evil spirits entering the estate. The fact that the feeling vanished upon entering the mansion confirmed the truth of her earlier sensation.
During the entire journey back, she had been followed by something that couldn't be seen. This feeling was real, not her imagination.
Sitting in the back seat, Qin Ruan's delicate face appeared stern, and her eyes held an unfathomable coldness, chilling to the bone.
Lin Hao sensed that something was off in the car and looked at the rearview mirror inside the car. Seeing Qin Ruan's tense expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Ruan's tone was cold and firm as she said, "I felt something following us all the way."
Lin Hao's hand on the steering wheel trembled, and the car swayed a bit. He struggled to keep the car steady, but his whole person seemed to be in bad shape.
A chill ran up his spine, spreading through his whole body. Lin Hao couldn't help but feel terrified after what he experienced tonight.
Qin Ruan comforted him lightly, "Maybe it's just my imagination."
She was only trying to comfort Lin Hao, but in her heart, she was certain that they were indeed followed.
Even so, Lin Hao's emotions couldn't relax. He tried to suppress his fear, and under the dim yellow streetlights, he controlled the steering wheel and drove towards Third Young Master Huo's small building.
Third Young Master Hou's small building was brightly lit.
After getting off the car, Qin Ruan was met by Hou Chuan, who was coming down the steps.
"Madam."
Seeing him, Qin Ruan looked inside the house and asked, "Has Third Young Master returned?"
Hou Chuan shook his head, "Third Young Master might return tomorrow; he's busy with matters today."
Qin Ruan's eyes lost their light, and her voice turned low as she acknowledged, "I see."
Hou Chuan bowed slightly, showing his respect, "Second Young Master is here; he just arrived, saying he has something to discuss with you."
"Let's go in, then."
Learning that Hou Yirong was here, Qin Ruan tugged her windbreaker and walked into the house.
Inside the hall, Hou Yirong stood up. His tailored suit and unbuttoned shirt looked casual and somewhat dandy.
"Brother Rong, do you need something from me?" Qin Ruan walked towards Hou Yirong with a faint smile on her face.
Hou Yirong gazed at her with a smile in his eyes. "My matter can wait; let's have dinner first."
"Let's discuss the matter first," Qin Ruan replied in a low voice.
Hou Yirong stood up, teasingly saying,
"No, my little brother would complain if I delay your dinner because of me."
