Chapter 594: Third Young Master before Qin Ruan, Concealing Coldness with Gentleness
Lin Hao saw Hou Chuan, Hou Qiang, and the others heading downstairs.
He whispered to Qin Ruan, "Qin Ruan, calm down, anger can harm your body."
Qin Ruan was furious, and her eyes were reddening at the corners, endangering the child in her belly due to her emotional outburst.
Hou Chuan approached and also advised, "Madam, take care of your health. Master is fine now."
Qin Ruan completely ignored him. Of course, she knew that Hou Yunjiao was fine.
Before Hou Yunjiao went upstairs, she had transferred most of her dark energy to him, causing her lifeline to shorten once again.
Only after absorbing Xiao Guang's dark energy did her condition stabilize.
What angered her now was Lin Hao, Hou Chuan, Hou Qiang, and even Hou Yunjiao for keeping things from her.
Why did they all hide it from her?
Especially Lin Hao's deception, which made her more unbearable.
Qin Ruan tightened her grip on Lin Hao's collar, and her eyes reddened as the anger inside her surged. She also felt a danger to the child in her belly.
Hou Qiang stepped forward and knelt in front of Qin Ruan, "Madam, calm down!"
Seeing him kneeling before Qin Ruan, Hou Chuan's expression showed surprise.
Hou Chuan was an old member of the Hou family, serving three generations of family heads, and he was also the chief of the three chief guards.
Now, his kneeling before Qin Ruan indicated his recognition of her as the mistress of the Huo family.
Huo Chuan quickly followed suit, kneeling beside Hou Qiang.
"Madam, calm down."
Qin Ruan stared at them with a cold and sarcastic tone, "Trying to make me calm down now? Where were you all when Third Master's condition worsened? You all treated me like an outsider. Why bother staying here and suffering? It's better to leave early!"
Her words stabbed at both Hou Chuan and Hou Qiang.
Lin Hao knew that Qin Ruan's anger was mainly directed at him.
He shouldn't have kept things from her, like Hou Chuan and Hou Qiang did.
While others' deception might be understandable, he shouldn't have done it.
Lin Hao stood beside Hou Qiang and Hou Chuan and asked casually, "Is Third Young Master really fine?"
Hou Qiang's expression turned serious, and he replied, "The situation is not good. Master is very weak, and the doctor is unable to do anything. He can only rest and recuperate."
Lin Hao's lips twitched, and he looked at the two of them with admiration, "Are you deceiving her again?"
Hou Qiang shook his head, denying it, "Madam is from the Xuan Realm, and she is well aware of Third Young Master's condition. Even if we wanted to hide it, we couldn't."
With Third Master's condition being so serious, they couldn't possibly keep it from her.
Seeing his confused expression, they couldn't help but explain.
Lin Hao couldn't understand their way of thinking at the moment.
He was genuinely afraid of Qin Ruan now.
Just a moment ago, when he stared at Qin Ruan's reddened eyes, filled with grievances, bitterness, and sadness, he thought she might burst into tears.
But she didn't. She just stared at him accusingly.
Honestly, Lin Hao felt a sense of guilt.
Third Master falling ill and recuperating was something he shouldn't have hidden from Qin Ruan.
He regretted it, but there was no remedy for regret.
Qin Ruan was blaming him, and he could only accept it.
...
Upstairs, in the bedroom.
Qin Ruan sat by the bed, looking at Third Young Master lying there with his eyes closed, his face calm.
Even in his sleep, he exuded an extremely stable aura.
He had always been gentle, elegant, and composed, knowing when to advance and when to retreat.
His outstanding appearance and imposing presence were particularly remarkable, and he handled everything with ease.
He seemed gentle and tender in front of her, concealing his aloofness.
But in front of others, he showed the coldness and ruthlessness inherent in his nature, exuding a commanding and intimidating aura. She had been fortunate enough to witness it a few times.
The thoughts hidden in this man's heart were so deep that it was impossible for anyone to fathom.
Regardless of the gentle or cold Hou Yunjiao at this moment, he could only lie quietly on the bed.
His breathing became weak, and his face turned pale.
Seeing him like this, Qin Ruan felt as if a stone was stuck in her heart, making her feel suffocated, unable to breathe.
She reached out to touch the sleeping man. His skin was cool, unlike that of a normal person.
Hou Yunjiao's body temperature was cold, like that of someone weakened by excessive loss of yang energy.
Her delicate jade finger traced along Third Master's face, reaching his eyes and eyebrows.
Qin Ruan's movements were gentle, just barely touching him, using her fingertips to outline his facial features.
