Chapter 626: My Man Must Stay with Me Till the End of Life
Hou Yunjiao had always been gentle in the Hou family.
In the past, the younger generations with gentle temperaments now had a hint of coldness in their handsome faces, shocking the ninth uncle.
After a while, a deep disappointment appeared in his eyes.
"Yunjiao, are you threatening me?"
Hou Yunjiao eyes showed a hint of displeasure as he calmly looked at him. "How could that be? A harmonious family leads to prosperity. If the family is not peaceful, we need to find a way to stabilize it. However, at that time, I cannot guarantee the outcome."
The ninth uncle frowned. "What do you mean?"
Hou Yunjiao raised an eyebrow, his voice milder. "If we are to follow the rules, we should act according to the family rules. The Hou family elders have no right to interfere in the affairs of the Punishment Hall."
The ninth uncle glared. "But the Punishment Hall shouldn't allow outsiders to interfere either."
Hou Yunjiao shook his head. "You're mistaken. When the seventh-generation head of the Hou family was young and lost his father, he took over the Punishment Hall with the assistance of the Hou family head. Everyone can see my physical condition over these years. Taking care of affairs after my passing, what's wrong with that?"
In his demeanor, he seemed like a natural king, in control of everything.
Upon hearing this, the ninth uncle seemed to recall the events surrounding the seventh-generation head of the Hou family.
He was the only one who took over the Punishment Hall with the assistance of the Hou family head.
Hou Yunjiao calmly ordered, "Hou Qiang, escort the ninth uncle."
"Yes, master."
Hou Qiang, who had been standing nearby like a wooden man, immediately caught up with the ninth uncle's figure.
"No need to escort me. Old man, I can still walk!" ninth uncle didn't even look back.
His words were filled with anger, almost flooding the guest room.
"Wait."
Qin Ruan supported her waist and stood up. Seeing the ninth uncle standing at the door, she lazily spoke, "Ninth uncle, I was not interested in the Punishment Hall, but after hearing your words, I'm quite curious now."
Ninth uncle turned around suddenly, his hand trembling as he pointed at Qin Ruan.
"You, you..."
He was so angry that he couldn't even form a complete sentence.
"Please don't bother seeing me off."
Qin Ruan's face was bright with a smile, and her beautiful eyes curved like crescents, looking very charming.
Hou Yunjiao's words were not wrong; Qin Ruan was young and beautiful, and her beauty was enough to attract any man.
Even the ninth uncle couldn't help but be stunned by Qin Ruan's radiant smile.
"Hmph!"
Ninth uncle snorted irritably.
He ultimately didn't say anything and turned around to leave in a hurry.
Hou Yunjiao stood up and held Qin Ruan's waist, laughing lightly. "Such a childish temper."
His gaze towards Qin Ruan was full of endless indulgence.
Qin Ruan snorted, "Who told him to keep pressing you."
Hou Yunjiao smiled, his eyes filled with delight. "Is this how you defend me?"
"Of course!"
Qin Ruan glared at him, appearing adorable.
Hou Yunjiao touched her head. "I'm deeply moved by my wife's concern."
Qin Ruan didn't buy his words, withdrawing from his embrace and looking deeply into his eyes.
"Third Young Master, what did you mean by saying you have ten years left?"
Hou Yunjiao's eyes flickered with a hint of gloom, and he smiled faintly. "Don't you already know? The news that the Witch Clan passed to the Nangong family has spread throughout the capital. All the major forces know that I have only ten years of life left."
"Tch!"
Qin Ruan couldn't be bothered to maintain her well-behaved image in front of Hou Yunjiao.
Her face turned cold as she spoke sinisterly, "Want to die? No way!"
She reached up and grabbed Hou Yunjiao's collar, pulling him closer to her. "Third Young Master, even if you really have no energy left and your soul is in the netherworld, I can bring you back to life!"
After her bold declaration, Qin Ruan let go of Hou Yunjiao's collar and turned to leave.
She was afraid that if she stayed, they would end up arguing.
This man had never opened up to her since they got their marriage certificate; he silently paved the way for her.
He never asked if these were what she wanted.
If it were any other man, she would have packed her bags and returned to the Qin family without a second thought.
But Hou Yunjiao was not someone else. He was the person who showed her warmth and brought her light after her death in her previous life.
How could she watch him die like that?
Qin Ruan was angry.
It was the first time that Hou Yunjiao had seen her so angry with him.
Even though he had concealed his condition before, Qin Ruan had never been so furious with him.
Qin Ruan's anger slowly subsided under Hou Yunjiao's gentle kiss on her forehead.
He spoke softly, "I'm not serious about what I said earlier. I said that to the ninth uncle. Why did you take it seriously?"
The remaining anger in Qin Ruan dissipated completely as she listened to his explanation.
She turned around, wrapped her arms around Hou Yunjiao's waist, and buried her head in his chest.
"Third Young Master, regardless of whether your words were true or false, what I said was true. I won't let you die! My biggest wish in this life is to grow old together with our children, watch them get married and have children, leaving no regrets."
"Alright, I promise you."
Hou Yunjiao's waist touched Qin Ruan's protruding belly.
The child in her belly was very active, moving around.
He thought that the two children
would be very active and mischievous after they were born.
If he could, he would love to see the children grow up and accompany Qin Ruan for the rest of his life.
In a place hidden from Qin Ruan's view, a faint hint of bitterness appeared on Hou Yunjiao's lips.
Upon hearing Hou Yunjiao's promise to stay with her and the children, a faint smile appeared on Qin Ruan's lips.
As long as she was alive, she would not let this man die prematurely like he did in her previous life.
The two of them understood each other without saying a word.
...
