Chapter 687: Third Young Master Is Doting on His Wife, Don't Give Him the Chance to Flaunt Her
Upon hearing Qin Ruan's name, Hou Yunjiao turned his gaze to Gongsun Wei.
His excellent composure caused a faint smile to appear on his thin lips.
His voice remained calm as he said to Gong Wei, "Then you should go and apologize to my wife."
His deep eyes showed no trace of amusement, as if they were as profound as an ancient well, capable of devouring one's heart and soul.
However, Gong Wei was captivated by the dazzling smile on Third Young Master Hou's face and subconsciously walked towards him.
Hou Yunjiao's exquisite and handsome appearance, combined with the alluring atmosphere of the dimly lit room, exuded a sense of nobility and elegance, which enticed her.
A man like him, even if he had limited time left, still possessed a fatal attraction to women.
And Gong Wei had already fallen for him.
She stood by Hou Yunjiao's side, slightly leaning forward, pretending to be close and said, "Third Young Master, Third Young Madam seems to have some misunderstanding about me. She has a bad temper and doesn't listen to my explanations. She also behaves rudely."
Hou Yunjiao leaned back, glancing at her from the corner of his eye, and his expression seemed to have a smiling but not smiling look, "My wife indeed has a bad temper, but she's very well-behaved. I think you must have offended her in some way."
Without knowing the full story, he had already taken the side of a woman of inferior background who climbed up from the mud and dust.
Jealousy surged in Gong Wei's heart, and her voice raised, "I didn't do anything. She provoked me first!"
Hou Yunjiao tightly furrowed his brows and pulled out a handkerchief from his coat pocket, elegantly covering his mouth and nose.
He stared at Gong Wei, and a strong sense of disdain and displeasure emanated from him.
"You have a strong odor. Please stay away from me."
"..." Gong Wei's face flushed instantly.
Her expression changed from red to blue, and then turned pale, displaying a dramatic range of colors.
If it were any other gentleman who cherished and valued women, seeing Gong Wei in such an awkward situation, they would have changed the topic right away.
But Hou Yunjiao didn't stop there.
He narrowed his eyes, and an expression of displeasure flashed in his deep gaze. In a magnetic and low voice, he said, "Miss, please don't speak ill of my wife in front of me in the future. She's pregnant and has a bad temper, but my temper is worse."
Gong Wei pursed her lips, feeling both speechless and disheartened.
Could it be that Third Young Master Hou had been bewitched by that woman? He didn't even wait for her to explain the situation before taking her side.
Gong Yibo, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh upon hearing the conversation.
He covered his mouth with a fist to suppress the laughter.
Gong Wei, though unwilling, decided to sit down obediently.
She was from a collateral branch of the Gong family, with a lower status compared to the main branch. She had to save some face.
But she couldn't help but cast lingering glances at Third Young Master Hou.
...
At the Qin residence.
While Qin Ruan was talking to Qin Anguo, her phone received a notification sound for a text message.
She casually took out her phone from her pocket and opened the message.
It was a picture taken in a dimly lit room, clearly displayed in front of her.
A hint of surprise flickered in Qin Ruan's eyes, quickly followed by a surge of anger that seemed to unleash a storm inside her.
Her complexion didn't look good, and she furrowed her brows, unable to control the anger spreading throughout her body.
Qin Anguo sensed that something was wrong and asked her, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing important." Qin Ruan quickly dimmed her phone screen and smiled, "Dad, I'm afraid I can't accompany you for dinner tonight. I have to go back."
Qin Anguo wasn't concerned about the dinner. He was worried about Qin Ruan, "Is everything alright?"
"It's nothing serious, just that I need to go back." Qin Ruan shook her head, "Dad, I'll visit you next time."
Deep inside, she was replaying the picture that had appeared on her phone.
Third Young Master was sitting in a dimly lit room, and there was a woman beside him, leaning close to him intimately.
From the angle of the shot, it seemed like they were kissing.
Qin Ruan couldn't say that she felt jealous, but she felt resentful.
Right now, her mind was filled with the image of Hou Yunjiao with that unfamiliar woman.
The message that came with the picture also included an address.
She now wanted to go there and find out what was going on.
Seeing her anxious expression, Qin Jingcen couldn't help but feel worried, "My dear, listen to your elder brother and don't rush around. When the baby is born, you can stay at home as long as you want. Running around like this is not good for your health."
"Well, let's see about that, Big Brother. I'm really leaving now," Qin Ruan replied, not wanting to think too far ahead. She was still filled with anger due to the picture she had just seen.
As the two of them went upstairs, Qin Anguo wore an unhappy expression as he said, "Come on, let's all go. None of you knows how to accompany me, always so busy. When I'm no longer around, who will accompany me?"
Qin Anguo was still harboring resentment. He had children and grandchildren, but he couldn't enjoy the joys of family life.
Qin Jingcen, who overheard their conversation, couldn't help but feel uneasy, "Dad, the company really has urgent matters to handle. I'll bring Ah Yan to accompany you for dinner tonight, okay?"
"Who said you could leave dinner for her? Don't disturb me while I'm watching my dramas," Qin Anguo said with a face full of grievances, but he seemed less restrained now.
As he walked into his room, he took out something from his pocket and handed it to Hu Yan, "This is the jade bracelet left by Jingcen's mother. It's not worth much, but you can wear it."
It was their first meeting, yet he was giving her presents already.
Hu Yan felt that Qin Anguo was too generous.
