Chapter 658: The Peerless and Enchanting Third Young Master Hou
Xiao Yunchen, with a handsome and exquisite face, contorted due to extreme aversion.
His unnatural expression quickly faded, returning to normal.
Lost in thought during the day, lost in dreams at night—fate?
If possible, Xiao Yunchen would make Qin Ruan experience a scene of weeping, so she'd know the pain of living.
His face twisted with disgust, he wished to sever all ties with the word "snake" forever.
Xiao Yunchen let out a sigh and hoarsely said to Qin Ruan, "Fate? Miss Qin, please don't joke with me. Snakes are what I fear most in my life. If I could, I would never want to know the word 'snake' in my lifetime."
His irritation was palpable when talking about snakes.
If he could, he'd rid the world of such creatures.
A subtle sense of killing intent surrounded Chang Yuan, causing his eyebrows to twitch uneasily.
Qin Ruan rummaged through her bag but came up empty-handed.
With a slight frown, she shrugged at Xiao Yunchen's expectant face, "I'm sorry, I rushed out today and forgot to bring talismans."
In truth, she didn't have any talismans; she was just frustrated with Chang Yuan's audacity.
He had caused his master to have nightmares, causing Xiao Yunchen to dream of snakes every night.
The traces of those nightmares were too apparent on Xiao Yunchen, hard to miss.
Qin Ruan glanced at Chang Yuan; his previously nervous demeanor turned arrogantly haughty upon hearing she had no talismans.
She couldn't help but wish to smack that arrogant look off his face.
She couldn't let this serpent think it was untouchable.
Xiao Yunchen, upon learning there were no talismans, widened his eyes, "Then what should we do?"
This meant he'd continue to dream of being engulfed by a sea of snakes at night.
The thought of those horrifying dream scenes made his handsome face turn dark.
"No talismans, but there are other methods."
Qin Ruan approached Xiao Yunchen, standing on her tiptoes and extending her hand toward his forehead, her pregnancy making her precarious.
She extended a delicate finger and beckoned Xiao Yunchen to lower his head, "Bow your head."
Chang Yuan rushed forward to intervene, "Qin Ruan, I urge you to stop this!"
He attempted to touch her hand but was repelled by a golden light emanating from her.
The ancient malevolent beast, Hook Snake, wasn't a mere ordinary entity. Despite being pushed back, Chang Yuan managed to stand firmly.
Xiao Yunchen obediently bowed his head, as if performing a ritual, approaching Qin Ruan with trust.
Such a handsome face, offered so willingly, would have driven any of Xiao Yunchen's fans to scream or even faint.
But Qin Ruan had Third Young Master Hou, an enchanting and captivating man, by her side.
Xiao Yunchen's appearance didn't cause a ripple in her heart.
Qin Ruan extended her jade-like fingertip, touching his forehead.
Subtle divine power of the underworld flowed into him like threads of gold.
The power gradually seeped into his tense body, bringing relief to every inch of him.
The residual malevolence from his nightmares was swiftly cleansed by the divine power.
Qin Ruan withdrew her hand, her beautiful eyes squinting as she looked at the chilly and grim Chang Yuan beside her.
Her cold voice warned him softly, "Some matters should know their limits; human lives can't withstand constant turmoil."
Her words felt like icy daggers stabbing into Chang Yuan's heart.
His anger-filled body was suddenly doused with icy water, replaced by unease and worry.
Chang Yuan frowned deeply, his determined crimson gaze locked onto Qin Ruan, and he retorted, "I just wanted my master to get used to me."
As he finished speaking, Xiao Yunchen followed up, "If I could, I wouldn't want to dream of snakes either. It's been tormenting me for months; I'm nearly depressed."
Xiao Yunchen thought Qin Ruan was talking to him, rubbing his forehead and looking sorrowful.
Qin Ruan's tranquil gaze focused on Xiao Yunchen, and she smiled gently.
She said, "If you dream of snakes again, you can call me."
Xiao Yunchen blinked at the unexpected suggestion, then nodded vigorously, "Alright!"
Chang Yuan's cheeks flushed with anger, the fiery breath he exhaled turning the surrounding air frigid.
With a touch to his suit sleeve, Rong Jing complained, "Why did it suddenly get cold?"
Only now did Xiao Yunchen notice Rong Jing's presence.
"Who is this?"
Before Qin Ruan could introduce him, Rong Jing reached out his hand towards Xiao Yunchen.
His attitude was friendly and sincere as he said, "Hello, Idol Xiao. My ex-girlfriend was your fan. She liked you a lot. I've watched several of your movies, they're really good, your acting is excellent!"
Xiao Yunchen shook Rong Jing's hand, "Hello."
His demeanor was reserved, yet polite.
As he was about to retract his hand, Rong Jing held onto him, saying with a grin, "Since we have the chance, Idol Xiao, let's take a photo together? Qin Ruan won't run away."
He tugged Xiao Yunchen away from Qin Ruan with an assertive force.
The two of them stood beneath the casual pose for a picture.
As they posed, a gentle breeze wafted by.
The wind caught Qin Ruan's coat, revealing the gray dress beneath and her six-month pregnancy.
Xiao Yunchen's calm gaze caught the sight of her swollen belly.
"Qin Ruan, you're this big?!"
His face was filled with incredulity, his words unable to convey his shock.
Qin Ruan adjusted her coat, revealing a soft smile on her gentle face.
"Yes, six months. The baby will be here in two or three more months."
Xiao Yunchen's eyebrows remained furrowed, "How old are you?"
He had confirmed Qin Ruan's pregnancy with Lu Wenbin of the Jade Star Sect. But not having seen her for a few months, her belly growing this large was visually shocking. It felt somewhat surreal.
Qin Ruan tilted her head playfully, "I'm an adult now."
Xiao Yunchen's tightly knitted brows relaxed slightly, hesitating, "You, you..."
He wanted to ask who the father of the child was. At her age, it seemed unlikely she was married.
Seeming to predict his question, Qin Ruan blurted, "I'm married."
Xiao Yunchen's brows gradually relaxed upon hearing her words.
An enigmatic emotion swirled in his deep gaze, gazing at Qin Ruan with a complex expression, a palpable restlessness simmering beneath.
Rong Jing had long known about Qin Ruan's pregnancy and her current identity.
Seeing Xiao Yunchen gazing so deeply at Qin Ruan, his heart trembled.
This Idol Xiao certainly had some allure, but if he was competing against Third Young Master Hou, he was undoubtedly out of the running.
If Lord Hou found out, Xiao Yunchen might even be banned from the entire internet.
Considering that most of Rong Jing's past girlfriends were also Xiao Yunchen's fans, he moved forward to embrace Xiao Yunchen by the neck.
Seeing Xiao Yunchen's displeased furrowed brows, he grinned and said, " Idol Xiao, let's take a photo first. Qin Ruan won't escape; we can talk later!"
With a firm grip, he led Xiao Yunchen away from Qin Ruan.
The two of them stood beneath the leisure area's lights for a photo.
