Chapter 590: Qin Ruan, you're mine
Qin Ruan's eyes flickered slightly as she noticed Hou Chuan's hand hanging at his side.
It seemed like she had understood something, and a look of realization appeared on her face.
Hou Chuan probably thought that she didn't want Hou Zhi and didn't want her to return to her side?
Qin Ruan's red lips moved slightly as she offered him a reassurance, "Hou Zhi has been back for a while, but I haven't seen her yet. When there's time, I'll ask her to come out and get some fresh air. I miss her a little."
Hou Chuan's tense expression eased slightly.
He nodded calmly, "Alright, I'll arrange for her to come and greet you soon."
Hou Zhi's identity had already been exposed within the Hou family.
Hou Chuan wasn't sure if Qin Ruan would still want Hou Zhi.
There were many people who wanted to replace Hou Zhi. After all, it hadn't been easy for her to climb to his current position, and he didn't want to see Hou Zhi end up in a bad situation.
Hou Zhi's health had improved, but she had been feeling particularly low these past few days.
She was afraid that when she was completely better, Qin Ruan might not want her anymore.
At that time, Hou Zhi would find it difficult to live in the Hou family.
There was the sound of a car outside.
Qin Ruan's eyebrows lifted, and a faint anticipation surged in her heart.
Ever since Third Young Master Hou came back this time, she felt like they had been apart for a long time.
She hurriedly walked towards the door, her footsteps quick.
Outside the small building.
Hou Qiang opened the back door of the car. Third Young Master Hou, dressed in a thick windbreaker, stepped out of the car with an air of nobility, looking so aloof that he seemed beyond the reach of mortal beings. The distance he emitted around him made people hesitant to approach.
Even if they wanted to get closer to him, they would always be in a humble position.
Hou Yunjiao raised his head, standing on the steps, and saw Qin Ruan's gentle and smiling face reflected in his eyes.
His gaze shifted downward, and he gently looked at Qin Ruan's belly.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but after not seeing her for a few days, Third Young Master Hou felt that Qin Ruan's belly had grown even bigger.
Qin Ruan stood on the steps, looking at the man standing in front of the car.
When she heard the sound of the car, her inner anticipation was finally settled at this moment.
Hou Yunjiao took composed steps, walking slowly towards Qin Ruan. "It's cold outside. Why aren't you waiting inside?"
His gaze was deep, his voice gentle, but there was worry written all over his face.
Qin Ruan carefully sized up Hou Yunjiao.
This man's complexion was pale, and he seemed to have lost weight.
In just a few days of not seeing each other, he appeared to be increasingly haggard and thin.
Qin Ruan furrowed her brows tightly. She walked up to him, intending to hold Third Young Master Hou's hand.
But Hou Yunjiao deftly evaded and instead embraced her shoulders, leading her inside.
He sighed lightly, "What's wrong today? Are you feeling unwell? Your complexion doesn't look too good."
Qin Ruan looked up, her gaze fixed on Third Young Master Huo by her side.
His light-colored lips, which were neither too thick nor too thin, curved into a gentle and dazzling smile.
When he smiled, his peach blossom eyes sparkled like stars, a smile that no one could resist.
Third Young Master Huo had always been gentle, elegant, and restrained in front of her, making her involuntarily drawn to him.
Qin Ruan denied in a low voice, "No, I think you don't look well. Have you not been resting properly these days?"
"Things have been busy. I'll recover after a while," Third Young Master Huo replied calmly, his eyes glancing at the documents in his hand.
He turned a page and continued chatting with Qin Ruan, "Have the children been causing you trouble lately?"
Qin Ruan replied, "They have been very well-behaved."
Third Young Master Huo flipped through the documents in his hand and asked, "Do you like the food prepared by the chef at home? Have you been drinking the medicated soups on time?"
"Every day," Qin Ruan responded.
Third Young Master Hou felt that something was off and raised his eyes to look at Qin Ruan.
Qin Ruan, with her arms crossed, lounged on the sofa lazily, her tone indifferent.
It seemed like she really didn't want his company and didn't care whether he came back or not.
Third Young Master Hou shook his head and smiled wryly, ignoring the inexplicable disappointment in his heart.
Hou Qiang brought the documents from the car and handed them to Third Young Master Hou.
While reading the documents, he conversed with Qin Ruan.
"Has there been anything bothering you lately?"
Qin Ruan replied casually, "Nothing much."
Third Young Master Hou turned another page in the documents in his hand. "The housekeeper cooked something special for you. Did you like it?"
"Pretty much."
Third Young Master Hou felt that something was off and raised his eyes to look at Qin Ruan.
The bulging belly was too conspicuous, making it difficult for him to ignore it even if he wanted to.
Qin Ruan touched her belly and suddenly spoke up, "Third Young Master, would you like to feel the baby?"
Hou Yunjiao's gaze darkened, and he stared fixedly at the prominent belly. He felt a bit nervous and swallowed uneasily.
In a few months, the baby would be born.
By the time the baby was born, his body should have recovered quite a bit.
This was his child, or rather, there were two of them.
In a few months, his bloodline would be continued.
Even if he were gone in the future, the child would prove that he had existed in this world.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Suddenly, Third Young Master Hou couldn't hold back and coughed softly.
He stared at the water in the cup, his gaze calm as water, but there was a bone-chilling coldness deep in his eyes.
