Chapter 623: Baby, Come Out Quickly, Your Mother is Working Hard
Chapter 623: Baby, Come Out Quickly, Your Mother is Working Hard
Wei Xishi stayed at the Qingcheng Taoist Temple for a month.
After a month, the old abbot ceased to breathe.
Under the guidance of the old abbot, he had been shouting "Master" for a month, and he had somewhat grasped the rudiments of metaphysics.
Just as he was getting interested and prepared to delve deeper, the old abbot passed away.
Thus, the dilapidated Qingcheng Taoist Temple was left with only Wei Xishi.
The Taoist temple, when it reached his hands, had not completely declined.
Wei Xishi became the 36th generation successor of the Qingcheng Taoist Temple and its only member.
He truly learned and understood the arts of metaphysics during the month of guidance from his master. Although he was not proficient, he had the talent and had learned some basics.
Afterwards, his family found him, and Wei Xishi left the Qingcheng Taoist Temple.
In the following years, he didn't forget to study metaphysics.
Now, he had achieved a little, but he was not as accomplished as Lu Wenbin and Qiao Nanyuan.
However, he was satisfied with being self-taught and achieving what he had.
As long as the Qingcheng Taoist Temple didn't break the inheritance in his hands, Wei Xishi would be content.
Liu Liu was the next successor he found for the Qingcheng Taoist Temple.
Wei Xishi supported Liu Liu's shoulder and left the teaching building, with the chubby orange cat following behind them, unafraid.
On their way, Wei Xishi pondered a lot.
He knew himself well, and he was not a match for the evil spirit at the Oti School.
It was time to find some help.
If he really met his end here, the old bald donkey at the Nan Yin Temple would be overjoyed.
Before officially passing on the Qingcheng Taoist Temple to Liu Liu, Wei Xishi didn't dare to risk his life.
At two o'clock in the morning.
The Xiangxi Manor.
The vast manor was quiet and silent, with only a few night guards patrolling lightly.
In the upstairs bedroom, there was a slight vibration.
Sleeping Qin Ruan was disturbed and shifted uneasily.
She frowned lightly, hugging the blanket in her arms and turned over.
Hou Yunjiao, who was awakened, opened his deep eyes first. He looked at Qin Ruan first and saw her displeased little face. He gently embraced her in his arms.
The phone on the table was still vibrating.
A slender hand reached over Qin Ruan and picked up the phone.
The incoming call on the phone was labeled as "Sixth Young Master of the West City."
Seeing this name, Hou Yunjiao's eyes flickered with thought.
He swiped the phone to answer the call.
Soon, a suppressed and irritable voice came from the other end.
"Qin Xiaowu, Young Master Qiao has been coming to my nightclub every day during this period. It's affecting my business, and I can't do anything. You better take this kid away. If this continues, I'll have to close down my places."
"Back then, if you hadn't kicked him, scaring him, this kid wouldn't be holding a grudge like this. He's a noble young master and can't be beaten or scolded..."
Sixth Young Master's voice was full of frustration. He was truly afraid of Xiao Qiao.
This kid didn't follow the rules at all and caused a lot of trouble in the West City.
Hou Yunjiao's cold eyes flashed with a glint.
He asked in a low voice, "What did Xiao Qiao do?"
A deep and pleasant voice with a touch of unfamiliarity from the upper class clearly transmitted to Sixth Young Master's ear.
Jiang Liu Er's voice instantly faltered.
In front of people other than Qin Ruan, Hou Yunjiao's patience had always been limited.
His voice turned cold as a knife, dangerous and icy, "Speak!"
Sixth Young Master felt he shouldn't explain too much. Since it was really Hou Yunjiao, why didn't he tell this young master earlier?
"It's nothing much, just some minor mischief. He has been partying in the high-end places in the West City recently. Now many people in the West City know his name. I'm afraid something might happen if this continues."
Hou Yunjiao's temples twitched with every item that Sixth Young Master mentioned Xiao Qiao doing.
He slowly closed his eyes, and with that chilly and emotionless voice, he asked the Sixth Young Master on the phone, "Where is he now?"
Sixth Young Master replied, "He's right beside me."
"Put it on speaker."
Sixth Young Master put the call on speaker, and immediately, Xiao Qiao's voice sounded, "Cousin?"
Qiao Xi thought Sixth Young Master was fooling around with him. Now seeing the situation seemed to be real, he started to tremble inside.
If it was really his cousin, his good days might be over.
"It's me."
Hou Yunjiao's low voice echoed from the phone speaker.
"Qiao Xi, I'll have someone compensate Sixth Young Master for the losses you caused. Then, immediately come back to the old mansion. You have one hour. If you don't return within an hour, I'll make sure you stay in the West City forever."
Qiao Xi's bluster began, "Cousin, wait, let me explain. How can you listen to that old fox's one-sided words?"
Hou Yunjiao didn't want to listen to his explanation. "You are not allowed to step into the West City again."
After saying that, he directly hung up the phone.
Hou Yunjiao's temples throbbed heavily.
This kid, Qiao Xi, really should not have been given hope.
He had been so quiet recently, and it turned out he had gone to the West City to cause trouble.
Qin Ruan's body moved slightly, adjusting for comfort.
She raised her hand, circling it around Hou Yunjiao's slim waist, and asked softly, "Who was it?"
Her tired voice carried a hint of laziness.
She had been awakened again.
Huo Yunjiao's fingertips followed her ear, gently touching her temple, "It's nothing. Qiao Xi caused some trouble, but it's already resolved."
"Oh."
Qin Ruan was about to open her eyes. After hearing that Hou Yunjiao had resolved it, she fell back asleep.
Her uneven breathing quickly became steady.
She was tightly pressed against Hou Yunjiao, and both of them were wearing comfortable and smooth pajamas, as if their skin was touching each other.
They could clearly sense each other's body temperature.
Even in her sleep, Qin Ruan's hand was still holding onto Hou Yunjiao's waist.
Hou Yunjiao put the phone back in place and looked at Qin Ruan's sleeping face.
This girl would be so elusive during the day, but only when she was asleep could she be so well-behaved.
His hand reached into the blanket, and he gently lifted Qin Ruan's pajama, touching her belly, which carried twins.
As soon as his fingertips touched the warm skin, the babies inside the belly responded.
Feeling the baby's response, Hou Yunjiao's lips curled up in a faint smile.
He had an inexplicable gentleness about him, no longer showing the coldness he had just displayed when talking to Sixth Young Master.
"Baby, come out quickly. Your mother is working hard."
The baby in the belly moved as if in response to Huo Yunjiao's words.
Laughter filled the room, a joyful laughter.
