Chapter 646: Unique Charm, Forbidden and Unrestrained Extremes
Hou Yunjiao pinched Qin Ruan's hand gently and said, "I'll go freshen up, you can pick a dress first."
Qin Ruan didn't let go, holding Hou Yunjiao's slender and cool hand, she spoke slowly, "No, do you want to hug?"
As she said this, Qin Ruan's face remained calm and composed, as if this matter didn't bring her the usual embarrassment.
When Hou Yunjiao lowered his eyes to look at her, the long and dense eyelashes reflected a dangerous glint in his eyes, making his already lazy eyes appear even more dangerous.
The dangerous gleam in his eyes seemed to want to swallow Qin Ruan whole in the next second.
Qin Ruan stared into his deep and dark eyes, feeling as if she could be sucked in by them.
Huo Yunjiao took a deep breath and said slowly and huskily, "Little girl, I was just teasing you earlier."
His tone carried an indescribable complexity.
Huo Yunjiao stepped forward and embraced Qin Ruan.
"Thank you."
He believed he understood Qin Ruan to some extent. This girl relied on him, trusted him, and showed a submissive side that she didn't reveal in front of others.
For Qin Ruan to reach this point, it showed how important he was in her heart.
"Oh, then go ahead."
Qin Ruan replied faintly and let go of the Hou Yunjiao's hand, turning around to continue choosing an exquisite and luxurious dress.
Her lips were tightly pursed, trying hard to suppress the urge to smile.
Hou Yunjiao's lips curved slightly as he turned to leave.
The beast confined in the cage had calmed down for the moment.
After the inadvertent teasing from Qin Ruan earlier, his clothes were stained with some foreign substances, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.
Hou Yunjiao entered the bathroom to freshen up.
The sound of the bathroom door being opened and gently closed reached Qin Ruan's ears.
She turned her head and looked at the closed door, and her lips slowly curled up, no longer suppressing her smile.
The pleasant ringtone echoed inside her pocket.
Qin Ruan took out her phone, and the caller ID showed "Wei Xishi."
She answered the call and brought the phone to her ear.
Wei Linchen's tired voice came through the speaker.
"Qin Ruan, I've dealt with everything at the school. I've captured the rogue students wandering around the campus, and the school has paid the final installment. I'll transfer your share to your WeChat later."
"Okay."
This time, she had also put in some effort, so she deserved her share of the reward.
Wei Linchen continued, "The small grove is heavily damaged. I talked to the school's higher-ups, and they are afraid that there might be some evil spirits causing trouble, so they want to clear the grove."
"Whether they clear it or not doesn't make much difference, let them do as they wish."
Wei Linchen sensed something from her response, "Has the Huangju Tree main body been destroyed? Will it come back?"
Qin Ruan ran her fingers over a smoky gray gown in the wardrobe, which was adorned with handmade embroidery, making her reluctant to part with it.
She said, "The possibility is slim."
If the main body of the Huangju Tree was destroyed and it had fled in advance, it meant that the other party had given up on Audri Academy.
As for whether they would cause trouble elsewhere, she didn't know.
To find the Huangju Tree, she would have to invite Lan An.
The Huangju Tree was cultivated from Lan An the Blue Eucalyptus as a wood spirit, and over the years, their auras had already been imprinted on each other's souls.
Lan An was the original wood spirit, so it would be easy to find the Huangju Tree.
She had asked Qiao Nanyuan to go to the Qishan city and invite Lan An and Ling Feng.
If the child in her belly wasn't so young, she would have gone there herself.
It was tiring to travel to Qishan City and then go up the mountain, and her child might protest.
Wei Linchen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good then. Audri Academy is still a bit unclean, but it's not a big deal. If you don't have any other arrangements, I'll finish the handover here."
"Okay."
Qin Ruan took off the smoky gray gown and walked towards the wardrobe.
She asked, "Is there anything else?"
Wei Linchen paused for a moment and said, "When you return to school, let's talk together if you have time. I'm quite interested in you."
This "interest" wasn't just about Qin Ruan herself.
It included her mysterious ability, her precious weapon, and the sect she belonged to.
"If I have time, sure." Qin Ruan didn't refuse.
She could tell that Wei Linchen's words carried a hidden meaning.
In the WeChat group [North Tai Emperor Lord], Wei Xishi was someone she considered a familiar colleague.
As for Wei Linchen, he was a young professor at Shengshi Academy and someone she respected and liked as a teacher.
Wei Linchen's tone became cheerful, "Alright then, I won't disturb you anymore. We'll get in touch later."
"Okay." Qin Ruan responded and hung up the phone.
She pushed open the door of the wardrobe and walked in.
Hou Yunjiao had finished his shower, wearing a bathrobe as he walked out of the bathroom.
Not seeing Qin Ruan's figure in the room, he glanced at the wardrobe.
Seeing the faint movement inside, he understood what was happening.
He wiped his hair and walked to the bed, reaching for the tablet on the table.
Seeing the unread emails on the screen, he tossed the towel aside.
Recently, he had been in charge of a project at HEA Group, which required careful verification due to the large transaction amount and many issues to address.
Leaning against the headboard, his crystal-clear fingers slid across the screen.
There was a slight movement from the wardrobe, and the door was pushed open from the inside.
Hou Yunjiao's gaze lowered slightly, taking in Qin Ruan's attire.
He re-tied the bathrobe's waistband that had become loose with a quick motion, concealing the enticing scenery that had been half exposed.
The newly showered Third Young Master exuded a faint charm and a sophisticated air.
In the middle of his restrained temperament, a contradictory meaning was released.
It was a kind of natural charm that didn't need to be deliberately hidden, combined with his stunning appearance, not world-shaking, but out of the ordinary.
It inevitably attracted people, seduced by his aura of restraint.
Forbidden and unrestrained were two extremes.
Either one of them could make people unable to stop themselves.
And Hou Yunjiao happened to possess both qualities, releasing a unique charm of his own.
Qin Ruan walked out of the dressing room wearing the exquisite, noble, smoky gray dress.
The dress had no bare shoulders or arms, it was dignified and elegant, exuding an air of
nobility and grandeur.
Worn by Qin Ruan, it showcased her gentle and delicate side.
The dress was adorned with hand-embroidered patterns on the skirt, and the top had a hollow design with the same embroidery added in a unique way.
On Qin Ruan, the gown revealed her elegance, calmness, and steadiness, a pleasant surprise to the eye.
Qin Ruan held the skirt with her hand and stood in front of the dressing room, turning around.
"Third Young Master, do I look good?"
"Good."
Hou Yunjiao nodded, giving a sincere response.
His eyes remained fixed on Qin Ruan, as if he couldn't get enough of her and couldn't take his gaze away.
Qin Ruan, with her young age and carefully crafted innocent face, was often mistaken for a child.
But when she put on the elegant dress, her every move exuded a woman's charm.
