Chapter 649: Belongs to Me, No One Can Take It Away!
Normally, twins are unlikely to be born full-term and are often born prematurely. Qin Ruan estimated that in less than three months, the babies would eagerly come out.
Lu Yichen rested his chin on one hand, his eyes fixed on Qin Ruan's belly. He had seen pregnant women before, but Qin Ruan's situation was unique. The child in her belly was of noble status, belonging to the main line of the Hou family.
Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow and asked Qin Ruan curiously, "I heard you're carrying twins?"
Qin Ruan smiled and replied, "Hasn't that news already spread everywhere? You're just finding out?"
She didn't believe that Lu Yichen didn't know about this news.
Lu Yichen wasn't embarrassed and straightforwardly said, "I just wanted to confirm it from your mouth. Carrying two babies at once, you're really amazing!"
He sincerely admired her.
The scene at tonight's banquet was spectacular, and the details of the arrangements showed the dedication of the Fu family in building connections with the four major families and the other five distinguished families.
Lu Yichen moved closer to Qin Ruan, sitting on the armrest of the sofa, shielding her from the confrontation with Su Jingshu.
Since his father took the position and became the person in charge of the cabinet, Lu Yichen had learned about some of the private matters of many influential families, including Su Jingshu. He knew she was not easy to deal with.
Lu Yichen didn't want to see Qin Ruan getting into trouble with Su Jingshu.
Su Jingshu approached Qin Ruan with a glass of champagne in her hand, standing by her side. She looked proud and unfriendly, clearly not a friendly visitor.
"Yo, sister Su, you've been drinking a lot tonight. Your face is so flushed. I'm afraid all the men here will be charmed by you," Lu Yichen teased, coming to Qin Ruan's defense.
Su Jingshu's approach was repelled, and she was forcibly pulled back by someone from behind her with proper manners.
In a low and warning tone, the person said, "Su Jingshu, don't bully my brother. He's still young."
It was none other than Lu Han, who had seen the commotion and quickly approached to help.
Su Jingshu couldn't touch Lu Yichen.
Lu Yichen blushed and protested, "Brother, I don't want to go. Those are all old men. I have nothing to talk about with them."
Lu Han shot him a stern look, indicating for him to shut up.
His younger brother didn't want to go, but he couldn't disobey their father's order.
Before leaving, Lu Yichen waved to Qin Ruan, saying, "Sister, I'll come back to find you later."
Qin Ruan smiled and said nothing, watching the Lu brothers walk away.
Su Jingshu took the seat in front of Qin Ruan and raised her glass. Qin Ruan, bored, continued to nibble on nuts without showing any interest in talking with her.
Su Jingshu didn't mind and went straight to the point.
"Qin Ruan, if I didn't mistake you back then, you wouldn't be the wife of Third Young Master."
Qin Ruan didn't react much.
However, Lin Hao and Hou Qiang, who were standing behind her, exuded a strong hostile aura.
Ignoring their presence, Su Jingshu continued, "Your silence is considered an admission, right?"
Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow, her face calm and composed, devoid of any emotion in her eyes.
An eerie and displeased atmosphere spread in the area, clearly revealing her dissatisfaction.
Qin Ruan slightly smirked, her tone calm, "What belongs to me, no one can take it away. What doesn't belong to you, don't daydream about it."
This was her warning to Su Jingshu.
With a chill in her eyes, Qin Ruan's gaze pierced Su Jingshu, making her feel a shiver down her spine.
Su Jingshu's smile faded away, but she met Qin Ruan's gaze calmly.
After a moment, she touched the hair ornament on her head and smiled, "Are you saying that Third Young Master is destined to be yours? Don't forget how you two met. It was just a chance encounter. If you weren't carrying his child, you wouldn't even know where the Hou family's main mansion is, let alone become Third Young Master's wife."
The atmosphere around them grew more tense, with Lin Hao and Hou Qiang emanating a chilling aura, ready to protect Qin Ruan.
Su Jingshu didn't seem to notice their hostility, maintaining a calm gaze while speaking to Qin Ruan.
Qin Ruan's lips slightly curled as she responded, "That's none of your concern."
She wasn't going to let Su Jingshu get under her skin. Qin Ruan's eyes were cold and sharp, warning Su Jingshu not to push her further.
Su Jingshu's smile disappeared, but she remained unfazed, meeting Qin Ruan's gaze with a calm expression.
