Chapter 682: Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Chapter 682: the Long-Haired Beauty in the Lounge
Millions of dollars are not a small amount.
Qin Ruan furrowed her brows tightly, knowing that this incident was of great significance.
She let go of the tie she was holding and smoothed out the wrinkles on it.
Finally, she sighed, "You can go, but wear something warm. It's cold outside today."
Hou Yunjiao's lips curled up, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Sure, I'll listen to Madam."
Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow and gave him a glare.
However, when she met his refined and handsome appearance and saw the gentle and indulgent smile in his eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh.
Qin Ruan let go of the dark-colored tie she had just smoothed out and reminded him, "Come back early."
"Okay," Hou Yunjiao replied and gently stroked Qin Ruan's soft hair before leaving.
Hou Qiang and the others were already waiting in the hall.
Seeing that Hou Yunjiao had calmed down his wife, they immediately approached.
Hou Yunjiao was surrounded by the group as they left.
Qin Ruan stood behind, taking a quick look before turning and heading upstairs.
She was still somewhat unhappy in her heart, worrying about Hou Yunjiao's health.
Upstairs, in the bedroom.
Qin Ruan returned to her room, found her phone on the bedside table, and opened it to check her contacts.
Sure enough, she saw the missed call from her big brother this morning.
The call lasted less than a minute.
Qin Ruan dialed back.
The phone rang for a long time without anyone picking up.
Just when Qin Ruan was about to give up, Qin Jingcen finally answered the phone.
"Ruan Ruan, are you awake?"
His voice was hoarse, mixed with unmistakable fatigue.
Qin Ruan looked at the time. It was already noon, and her big brother was still sleeping at this time?
She asked, "Big Brother, did you call me this morning?"
"Yeah, Hu Yiyuan told me he saw you yesterday. It's been a while since we last contacted each other, so I wanted to check how you've been recently," Qin Jingcen's voice became clearer.
"I've been doing well recently," Qin Ruan replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard some rustling sounds on his end.
Qin Jingcen was currently in the office's rest area. He absentmindedly pushed aside the blanket and got up from the bed.
"Ah!"
His movement startled the person sleeping next to him.
Qin Jingcen turned to look, and it turned out he had pressed against the long hair of the person beside him.
The voice from that side was not quiet, and Qin Ruan also heard it, "Who is big brother with? I heard someone else's voice."
Qin Jingcen's gaze fell on the person lying beside him, revealing half of a delicate and beautiful profile.
When he heard Qin Ruan's inquiry, he retracted his gaze and said in a calm tone, "I'm with a friend."
He put on his shoes gently, and his voice became lower as he spoke.
Qin Jingcen walked to the other end of the bed and pulled up the unfastened blanket before leaving the lounge.
After closing the door, he walked into the office, and his voice was no longer deliberately lowered.
"Ruan Ruan, did you notice anything wrong with Hu Yiyuan when you two separated last night, something different from usual?"
Qin Ruan thought back to last night when she turned around in the car and saw Hu Yiyuan's figure overlapping with Hu Ying.
She couldn't tell who had a slimmer figure, and their long hair, illuminated by the streetlights in the night, made it difficult to discern.
With her eyelids slightly lowered, she reached out and occasionally touched the tablet that Third Young Master sometimes used for work on the bedside table.
"Nothing was wrong. When I separated from him, it seemed like there was a slight disagreement between him and Hu Ying, but I didn't notice anything else."
"That's good." Qin Jingcen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, he changed the subject and started talking about Qin Mei.
"Meimei has been quite obedient recently, but Snowball is mischievous at home. Every day, it insists on having Mei accompany it to school. If he doesn't, it will cause trouble in the house, and even the housekeepers are afraid of it."
Knowing that he didn't want to mention the matter of Qin Shi Group as her dowry, Qin Ruan didn't say much.
Qin Shi Group belonged to the Qin family, and she wouldn't accept it so easily.
Qin Ruan sat on the edge of the bed, thinking of her mischievous second brother and the haughty Snowball. She couldn't help but laugh.
"Snowball is quite smart. It's good that Second Brother accompanies it to school; it means they get along well."
"That's not good." Qin Jingcen complained, "Ruan Ruan, you haven't been home for quite a while. When are you coming back to stay for a few days? Father and Meimei don't mention it, but they miss you a lot."
Qin Ruan smiled, her voice affectionate as she asked, "What about you, Big Brother? Do you miss me?"
Her words carried a hint of coquettishness.
"Of course, I miss you." Qin Jingcen admitted straightforwardly, "You haven't been back to see the three of us single men for so long. It's typical of someone to have a man and forget about her family."
His teasing tone carried a tinge of complaint, and hearing it, Qin Ruan's lips twitched.
Her mature and steady big brother could say such things, which meant she hadn't been back home much lately.
Since she came to Xiangxi Manor with Third Young Master, she hadn't been back home.
Thinking of Hou Yunjiao's recent health condition and his leaving today, Qin Ruan spoke softly, "Give me some time. Third Young Master's health hasn't been good recently."
"He..." Qin Jingcen, as the eldest brother, was just about to complain about his brother-in-law when the door of the lounge was pushed open from the inside.
Shoe tips tapped the floor, and the chair under him swiveled as he turned around.
A person with a bare upper body, wearing only a pair of casual pants, walked out from inside.
The waistband of his pants was loose, revealing a cute belly button that moved with his breath.
For men, this was not a major issue.
Qin Jingcen's gaze didn't travel any further, and he held back the words about to come out of his mouth.
He said to Qin Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, I have something to do. Let's talk later."
Qin Ruan obediently replied, "Okay."
Before hanging up the call, Qin Jingcen reminded her with concern, "Don't just take care of Third Young Master. Even if he's not feeling well, he's still a man. You're pregnant with twins now, and you're the one who needs special care."
Qin Ruan laughed softly, "I know. Usually, it
's Third Young Master who accommodates me."
Her words were indeed true, but Qin Jingcen didn't believe it.
"You take care of him," Qin Jingcen grumbled and then hung up the phone.
