Chapter 685: Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Chapter 685: The World Is Unpredictable, Anything Is Possible
Hu Yiyuan, who had just sat down on the sofa, was startled by Qin Ruan's words.
Fortunately, Qin Jingcen held his hand tightly, preventing him from losing his composure.
Qin Jingcen looked at Qin Ruan with a smile, "Doesn't my girlfriend resemble a certain celebrity?"
Qin Ruan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then shook her head, "I forgot, but I feel like I've seen her face somewhere."
She rarely paid attention to celebrities in the entertainment industry, and although she had some impressions of the famous actors and actresses, her sister-in-law didn't quite resemble any of them.
Hu Yiyuan nervously said, "Sister..."
He was about to call her "Sister Ruan" but quickly stopped himself.
Qin Jingcen continued, "Ah Yan, this is my sister, Qin Ruan. You can call her Ruan Ruan."
Hu Yiyuan raised his head and smiled shyly, avoiding eye contact with Qin Ruan's cold and compelling eyes.
He whispered, "Ruan Ruan also feels like she has seen me somewhere? Many people have asked me if I resemble some celebrity."
"I see."
Qin Ruan continued to examine his face, feeling a mix of enchanting charm and sunshine in her demeanor, which could captivate countless men.
As she looked more closely, the face seemed familiar, but she couldn't pinpoint where she had seen it before.
Qin Anguo was becoming more satisfied with his eldest future daughter-in-law as he looked at her. He smiled and asked, "Jingcen, now that she's here, when are you planning to get engaged?"
This question shocked Hu Yiyuan, almost making him jump up from the not-yet-warm sofa.
Engagement... Is it really happening on such a big scale?
Qin Jingcen comforted him, patting his hand, and met Qin Anguo's somewhat insistent gaze. He calmly said, "Ah Yan isn't ready yet. We'll talk about the engagement later."
Qin Anguo's face turned serious, and a touch of weariness and sadness appeared on his spirited expression. He said, "You're not getting any younger, so settle down soon. If I'm not around one day, how can I face your mother..."
It was a threat using his deceased mother.
Qin Jingcen gritted his teeth, "At the latest next year, there should be a transition period, right?"
Afraid that he would change his mind, Qin Anguo straightened his posture, "Then next year it is. By then, you better not keep postponing it."
Qin Jingcen nodded calmly, "Understood."
However, Hu Yiyuan couldn't remain calm.
He had never thought about marrying his best friend.
He stood up abruptly, and Qin's family of three looked at him.
His expression was uneasy, lips tightly pressed, and his brows showed traces of worry that seemed unsolvable.
Qin Jingcen's eyes sharpened slightly, and he stood up, holding Hu Yiyuan's hand, and said to Qin Anguo and Qin Ruan, "Ah Yan is not used to being here for the first time. I'll take her to rest in the room."
Qin Anguo waved his hand, "Go ahead..."
He thought that it would be best if the engagement could happen immediately, skipping the engagement process and marrying early.
Qin Jingcen didn't hesitate to lead Hu Yiyuan away, rushing upstairs.
Qin Ruan watched the two men leave and noticed her future sister-in-law's graceful movements and how she seemed to bring the wind along as she walked.
Somehow, she felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at her.
Qin Anguo picked up a glass of juice from the table and brought it to Qin Ruan, asking with a smile, "Ruan Ruan, what do you think of your sister-in-law? Isn't she pretty?"
Qin Ruan took the glass, nodded, and said, "Yes, she's good-looking."
She couldn't deny that Hu Yan was indeed very beautiful, even more outstanding than some of the young stars in the entertainment industry.
Qin Anguo rubbed his chin and said with anticipation, "When you have a child, your elder brother should also get married. By then, I won't only have a grandchild, but also hope to have a great-grandchild."
He glanced down and looked at Qin Ruan's bulging belly.
"Are you due next February?"
"Yes."
Qin Anguo reached out to touch her belly and sighed lightly, "Come out soon, seeing those old folks showing off their grandchildren, I don't feel good inside."
Qin Ruan smiled, feeling content as she sipped the sweet and sour juice, "Dad, don't worry, after the eldest and second brother get married, they will definitely have a bunch of children around you."
Thinking about her two brothers, Qin Anguo couldn't help but be critical, "These two brats are both troublemakers!"
Qin Ruan gently comforted, "Eldest brother's marriage seems to be settled, and the second brother has been well-behaved recently."
Qin Father's face softened, and he revealed a hint of affection, "Your elder brother just pretended to be accommodating earlier, didn't you notice? This little fox is cunning, and I don't know what's on his mind. He seems like he found someone to deceive me."
Qin Ruan didn't see it that way; she had seen her eldest brother and Hu Yan holding hands tightly.
Their words and actions didn't seem out of place.
If there was anything strange, it was the faint demonic aura emanating from Hu Yan, not too strong, but distinctly present.
Qin Ruan consoled, "Dad, this time your eldest son brought his girlfriend back on his own initiative, so he should really like her. You don't need to think too much about it."
Qin Anguo shook his head but didn't say anything.
Sometimes he doubted if his eldest son could really fall in love.
For so many years, he had never seen any girl around him.
Qin Anguo leaned back on the sofa, saying, "Your second brother hasn't been causing trouble recently, but who knows when he'll revert to his old ways."
Qin Ruan spoke soothingly, "Second brother is like this. He hasn't caused any big troubles all these years. He's not like those rich kids who get into trouble with things they shouldn't mess with and end up dragging others down."
"He dares!" Qin Anguo snorted, "This kid can do anything, eating, drinking, playing, but if he dares to learn anything bad, I'll break his legs!"
"That's right, under your strict guidance, the second brother has been very well-behaved."
Qin Ruan tried to praise him with flattering words.
Despite his seemingly disdainful attitude towards his two sons, Qin Anguo was secretly proud of them.
Children from families like theirs were easy to go astray and difficult to correct.
But Qin Jingcen and Qin Mei had been sensible since they were young.
It could be said that they made minor mistakes but never committed major ones, which made Qin Anguo very satisfied.
However, this child was never good at receiving compliments, so Qin Anguo rarely praised them to prevent them from becoming too proud.
...
In a certain underground boxing arena in the capital.
In the private box on the second floor, two men dressed elegantly and exuding an imposing aura sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Behind them stood over a dozen bodyguards, indicating their extremely high status.
Hou Yunjiao hung up the call with Qin Ruan and glanced meaningfully at the man beside him.
This man was about 1.8 meters tall, well-built, with handsome short hair and sharp masculine features, exuding a strong aura.
"Third Young Master, why didn't you bring her along? She clings to you so much," the man said.
Hou Yunjiao placed his phone on the table and turned his head to look at the man next to him—Gong Yibo.
Gong Yibo was the youngest leader of the Gong family, a few years older than Hou Yunjiao.
He was not afraid of Hou Yunjiao, unlike others from the same generation in the major families in the capital.
The two seemed to have an indifferent relationship, but they could be considered good friends who had known each other for a long time.
Seeing Gong Yibo looking over, Hou Yunjiao's lips curved up slightly.
In the dim light of the underground boxing arena, his exquisite and handsome face showed a touch of fondness.
Hou Yunjiao hand was resting on the armrest of the seat, lightly tapping the table as he said in a calm tone, "She's still a little girl, and this kind of occasion isn't suitable for her."
Gong Yibo didn't quite believe him, "Really?"
Among the peers of the major families in the capital, who wasn't afraid of Third Young Master Hou? Only he was unafraid.
They had just made a deal.
They each selected a boxer, and the winner would represent them to settle the outcome.
If Hou Yunjiao won, the Gong family would send people to assist the Hou family's secret guards in going to Fulu Country.
If Gong Yibo won, he had the right to refuse the proposal.
The boxer chosen by Gong Yibo had the upper hand at the moment.
However, at this moment, the audience in the stands downstairs erupted in another deafening roar.
Hou Yunjiao and Gong Yibo looked down.
The man with half-length hair tied with a blue headband stood up.
He began to fight fiercely with the boxer chosen by Gong Yibo.
In this battle, both sides seemed evenly matched.
Gong Yibo looked at the scene without any wrinkles in his brow, saying, "What a pity."
Hou Yunjiao folded his hands on his abdomen, sitting elegantly and lazily.
He seemed indifferent to the outcome of this match, and his cold, emotionless eyes just looked on.
