Chapter 695: Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Chapter 695: Qin Ruan is hard to coax, Third Master is the best!
Li Zilan stood below, listening to the two of them chattering, feeling impatient.
She frowned and asked, "Hey! What did you see?"
Su Wang lowered his head and smiled, "We saw handsome guys and beautiful girls!"
Li Zilan gave him the middle finger in response.
If she hadn't been wearing a leather skirt today, she would have climbed the wall with them long ago.
Shen Ran stared at the scattered leaves around Lai Qigou, his black pupils darkening.
He suggested, "I feel those two people are really suspicious. Shall we follow them?"
Su Wang smirked, "I was thinking the same thing."
They both felt that those two people were acting strange. Not only did they know Qin Ruan, but they also beat up Lai Qi and his gang. They had no idea what they were doing in West City.
The three of them jumped down from the wall, their movements so handsome.
They followed Lan An and Ling Feng in the direction they left, soon catching sight of their figures.
They thought they were following discreetly and wouldn't be noticed.
Little did they know that Lan An and Ling Feng had already spotted their trail.
They followed Lan An and Ling Feng around West City for several hours.
The bowl of wonton noodles and buns they had for lunch had been long consumed during these few hours.
The three of them were tired and hungry, their gazes resentful as they stared at Lan An and Ling Feng, who were standing at the entrance of West City.
They strongly suspected that these two were just leading them around for fun.
Seeing Lan An and Ling Feng leaving, Li Zilan had no mood to appreciate beautiful people anymore and gritted her teeth, "They're leaving. Do we follow?"
"Follow what?" Su Wang cursed.
Shen Ran was also exhausted, and the two of them leaned against each other.
They watched Lan An and Ling Feng leave and reluctantly started walking back.
These few hours had been a waste of their time.
"Zilan, it's your fault for not paying attention to them. If you hadn't looked at them, they wouldn't have talked to us," Su Wang said.
Without talking, they wouldn't be curious.
Without curiosity, they wouldn't have played with them.
"But they know Qin Ruan," Li Zilan replied.
She meant that it wasn't her fault. Even if she hadn't paid attention to those two, they would have approached them on their own because they knew Qin Ruan.
Su Wang gritted his teeth, "I suspect those two did it on purpose. They seemed suspicious and took us on a roundabout route. I wonder if they were scouting the area."
"It's unlikely. They didn't do anything," Shen Ran said.
Su Wang retorted, "Who knows if they did something secretly..."
Their voices grew fainter as they moved away.
After Lan An and Ling Feng had left, they noticed that the three tails weren't following them anymore and stopped in their tracks.
Ling Feng turned back and looked at the entrance of West City, her voice light and emotionless, "Will they be in danger?"
Lan An's attitude remained as cold as before, "I don't know."
They were not wandering aimlessly in West City but setting up an array to trap Jujube tree, making sure it couldn't escape until Qin Ruan came to deal with it.
Ling Feng withdrew his gaze, "Let's go."
"Okay."
Lan An held her hand, and they continued walking.
As they took a few steps, their figures slowly became transparent and eventually vanished from the path.
People passing by seemed as if they hadn't seen them.
Perhaps someone had noticed, but when they looked back, the people were already gone.
.......
7 PM, Xiang Xieli Mansion.
At mealtime, Qin Ruan went upstairs to check if Hou Yunjiao was awake.
As she reached the corner, she bumped into Hou Yunjiao, who looked like he had just taken a bath and was wearing light-colored home clothes.
Seeing Qin Ruan holding her waist, Hou Yunjiao stepped forward to support her, "What are you coming up for?"
With the support of his hand, Qin Ruan relaxed and leaned on Hou Yunjiao's shoulder.
She was no longer angry at him and raised her eyes, gazing at Third Master with a charming look, "I came up to see if you're awake. It's time for dinner."
Hou Yunjiao sighed lightly, "Next time, don't use the stairs. Take the elevator. Your body gets heavier every day."
Qin Ruan teased, "I'm not that delicate. It's just a few steps."
"I'm worried you might have an accident."
Hou Yunjiao supported Qin Ruan, and the two of them walked downstairs slowly.
When Qin Ruan was halfway down, she seemed to sense something and stood up straight.
Hou Yunjiao stomped his foot, his expression puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Qin Ruan moved away the hand he had placed on her waist and said, "Someone is here. I'll go meet them first. You go downstairs and eat. I'll join you later."
Hou Yunjiao's face showed concern, and he reached out to touch her belly, gently caressing it through her clothes.
"Ruan Ruan, the baby is six months old already. Any slight mishap, both of us will regret it."
It turned out he was worried about the baby. Qin Ruan's heart relaxed a little.
She smiled and said, "I'll take care of them."
"What if something happens?" Hou Yunjiao cast a sidelong glance at her, no longer the indulgent attitude, but instead exuding a majestic air like a patriarch.
Before Qin Ruan could speak, he continued, "Why can't you do this after giving birth? It's just two more months. Rest well and don't make me worry every day."
In the past, he didn't stop Qin Ruan because he treated her as an independent individual, not merely someone attached to him or the appendage of the Hou family.
As the baby in her belly grew, he also grew concerned.
He kept his hand on Qin Ruan's face and saw her soft, chubby cheeks, making him want to pinch them.
"If you promise, this will be the last time. After this, you should stay at home obediently. We'll handle other matters after the baby is born," he said.
The baby's lifeline was strong enough to withstand until it was born and even help Hou Yunjiao recover.
If Jujube tree hadn't been so ruthless, holding so many lives in its hands, Qin Ruan wouldn't have asked Qiao Nanyuan to bring Lan An all the way here.
Such a calamity had to be resolved as soon as possible, so that it wouldn't continue to harm innocent lives.
Hou Yunjiao didn't sense Qin Ruan cooing at him; he only thought she was acting cute.
This soft and coquettish Qin Ruan made him unable to refuse, but he was still worried.
He placed his hand on the back of Qin Ruan's hand, and his facial lines softened, "One last time, and after that, please stay at home safely. You're not an ordinary pregnant woman; you're carrying two babies. At this stage, various dangers may arise. Please don't take it lightly."
Qin Ruan's eyes brightened with a smile, "I know, Third Young Master is the best!"
She couldn't help but lean closer to him and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.
