Chapter 591: Third Young Master Deceived Me, I Want to Run Away from Home!
Hou Yunjiao moved the cup away from his lips and handed it in the direction of Hou Qiang.
His voice was calm as he said, "The water is cold. Go get another cup."
Hou Qiang lowered his head and reached out to take the cup.
Seeing the color of the water in the cup, his indifferent expression showed a momentary shock.
Third Young Master calmly adjusted his sleeve and spoke in a slightly cold tone, "What are you standing there for? Can't even handle such a small matter?"
Hou Qiang adjusted his breath and firmly took the cup handed by his master.
"I failed in handling the matter. I'll go now."
His heart was already in turmoil, feeling that the cup in his hand was as heavy as a thousand jin.
Huo Qiang carried the cup and turned to leave when Qin Ruan's restraining voice sounded from behind.
"Wait!"
Qin Ruan's commanding voice filled the air with a faint rust scent.
Her calm gaze faded away, and her sharp eyes shot towards Huo Qiang, her red lips pursed in displeasure.
Hou Qiang stopped in his tracks, his gaze turning towards the Third Master sitting on the sofa.
Hou Yunjiao was still the same, with an elegant and composed demeanor.
He glanced at Hou Qiang and instructed, "Go, bring two cups of warm water. I'm sure Madam is thirsty as well."
Hou Qiang nodded and hurriedly left.
Qin Ruan coldly watched as both master and servant ignored her and stood up.
"I said, stop! Can't you hear me?"
Hou Qiang continued his steps, hastening towards the dining room.
Seeing this, Qin Ruan had no choice but to catch up.
How could Hou Yunjiao let her, with her large belly, chase after him? He got up to intercept her.
"Ruan Ruan, what's wrong? Be careful with your stomach."
His voice was low, gentle, and pleasant, with a hint of coaxing.
Qin Ruan's pitch-black eyes stared at the man in front of her.
She took two steps back, accusing him with her words, "Third Young Master, you lied to me!"
Hou Yunjiao's face twitched momentarily but quickly returned to its natural state.
He walked up to Qin Ruan and let out a low laugh.
The laughter was deep and pleasant, as if it was ringing beside Qin Ruan's ear.
Hou Yunjiao curled his lips, looking at Qin Ruan as if she were a child throwing a tantrum.
"Have you been too tired recently? What did I lie to you about?"
Qin Ruan took two more steps back, and with nowhere else to go, her lower leg touched the sofa.
She steadied herself and suppressed the anger surging in her heart.
She raised her gaze, staring deeply at the man before her, and spoke in a calm voice, "Third Young Master, you're doing it without any fun."
The anger in Qin Ruan's eyes, no longer the docility from before, grew stronger and more dominant.
Hou Yunjiao wanted to console her, but Qin Ruan shouted at Hou Qiang's departing figure.
"Hou Qiang, come back! Otherwise, I'll run away from home!"
Hou Qiang, who was just a few steps away from the dining room, almost spilled the water in the cup when he heard this.
If Madam were to run away from home, wouldn't she be taking the two little masters with her?
This would be a huge offense.
Hou Qiang stood still, without the courage to turn back.
The atmosphere in the spacious room became tense.
Hou Chuan curiously walked up to Hou Qiang.
He glanced at the cup and saw the diluted blood color inside, causing his pupils to contract.
Hou Chuan's lips twitched, and Hou Qiang quickly glared at him.
The latter immediately sealed his lips, staring at the cup in his hand.
Hou Chuan's various facial expressions inadvertently deepened Qin Ruan's suspicions.
Her body trembled, and memories of the last year when Hou Yunjiao left in her previous life flashed in her mind.
At that time, when he came to Wanshang Mountain to see her, his complexion was pale and haggard, with a faint scent of blood all over him.
At that time, she didn't know that he was about to die.
Nor did she know that she would never see him again.
Qin Ruan lost control of her emotions, and her rising anger was visibly evident. She couldn't help but show it.
Hou Yunjiao touched her head, his voice gently comforting, "Ruan Ruan, it's all my fault. Don't be angry, getting angry hurts your body and makes you look less beautiful."
"Are you trying to treat me like a three-year-old and coax me?"
Qin Ruan glared at the man in front of her, seemingly on the verge of losing her temper. Even so, she had no intention of venting her anger on him.
Hou Yunjiao reached out to stroke the hair near her ear and curved his thin lips into a charming arc.
His tone remained gentle as he said, "You're just a child. You're already grown up, yet you're still throwing a tantrum and threatening to run away from home."
Hou Yunjiao voice was unusually soft, making Qin Ruan feel treasured when she heard it.
But she refused to budge, her hands crossed in front of her chest, and her chin raised, showing great consideration.
"It's alright, I can pretend not to know."
Seeing her beautiful face, even with a hint of distortion when angry, Huo Yunqiao couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.
This girl was so clever!
She used this method to verify her speculations.
Qin Ruan's face was distant and indifferent, and her voice remained steady, "Third Young Master, I just found out today that you actually have a talent for being a swindler."
Hou Yunjiao rubbed his forehead with a headache, a wry smile appearing on his elegant face. He was showing weakness.
He had never shown such a low posture in front of anyone before.
But with Qin Ruan, he had no hesitation in coaxing her.
It was different from how he treated her before, like a child he was coaxing.
This time, he, as a man, was showing weakness to his woman.
Unfortunately, Qin Ruan didn't understand. She was truly angry.
She wasn't angry with the Third Young Master.
With this man, there were no boundaries for her.
Just now, even though he had deceived her, she couldn't bring herself to blame him.
Qin Ruan was angry at herself.
For more than half a month, Hou Yunjiao had been staying outside.
But today, she only realized that something was wrong.
The other party had even coughed up blood; how severe must the illness be?
