Chapter 359: Girl, this is the proper way to flirt.
Lazarus is an ancient vampire clan. They don't even pledge loyalty to the upper-class human aristocrats in the United States, so how could they pledge loyalty to Qin Ruan across nations?
Upon hearing Qin Ruan's reply, Hou Yunjiao's expression took a moment to recover.
Qin Ruan's eyes were filled with seriousness, and Hou Yunjiao shook his head and chuckled, reaching out to pat her head. "What's going on in that head of yours?"
"I'm thinking about how to protect the baby," Qin Ruan lowered her head and gently caressed her belly. "Donald threatened me with the baby today, so I want him and all the members of the Lathambo family to protect him for his whole life."
Huoyi couldn't help but interject, "Sister, are you being a bit unrealistic?"
Qin Ruan glanced at him and didn't bother explaining.
She stared directly at Hou Yunjiao, wanting to hear his opinion.
Hou Yunjiao sighed softly and asked her, "Are you sure?"
"More than 80% sure, even if the means are a bit shameless," Qin Ruan slowly lowered her gaze, as if feeling ashamed.
In reality, a sinister and fierce light flashed in her eyes.
Even if the means were shameless, so what? She wanted Donald to regret today, using her child as a bargaining chip.
Hou Yunjiao gaze darkened slightly, his voice gentle and indulgent, "Then go ahead, if things succeed, the baby will have an extra talisman for protection in the future."
"That's what I was thinking!" Qin Ruan heard Hou Yunjiao indulgence and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face.
This blatant favoritism, this feeling of being indulged without limits, filled her heart with joy.
Hou Yirong felt that his younger brother and Qin Ruan had both gone mad.
The Lazarus family didn't dare openly oppose the Hou family, but that didn't mean they would submit to Qin Ruan or the Hou family.
At this moment, a secret guard of the Hou family entered the room and whispered a few words in Hou Qiang's ear.
Hou Qiang's eyes flickered slightly at the words, and he waved his hand to dismiss the subordinate.
After the subordinate left, Hou Qiang stepped forward and spoke respectfully, "Second Young Master, Third Young Master, the Borin family's people are ready to leave."
"Now?" Hou Yirong furrowed his brows and glanced at the dark window.
It was midnight, and Nicholas had just signed the blood contract, while Leslie was still injured. Wasn't it too soon for them to leave at this time?
Hou Qiang lowered his head. "It's Donald who's in a hurry to leave. He had a heated argument with the Borin family's wizards and decided to set off immediately."
"This guy is really impatient." Hou Yi sneered.
He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes filled with gloom. "Third Brother, should we give the Lazarus family a big gift?"
Hou Yunjiao chuckled lightly, his thin lips parting slightly as he uttered a word.
"Go."
Hou Yirong raised an eyebrow, a ferocious glint flashing in his eyes. "Should I go or should you?"
Hou Yunjiao's expression remained indifferent as he spoke, "You go. Inform Professor Brent to purchase all the blood available in the U.S. market, and don't let any of the hospital's inventory slip away."
Hou Yirong laughed, a hint of schadenfreude in his tone. "I look forward to the chaos that will ensue when their countless vampires are left without a fresh blood supply."
Hou Yunjiao eyes curved slightly. "It's the perfect time for Donald to go back and clean up the mess."
"Hahaha..." Hou Yirong couldn't help but let out a pleased laughter, thinking about what Donald would face upon returning to his country.
Much of the displeasure caused by Donald's threats dissipated as well.
Qin Ruan was amazed. The methods employed by the Hou family were indeed on another level.
This was remote control, cutting off the enemy's food supply directly.
Hou Yunjiao embraced Qin Ruan and whispered softly to Huo Yi, "Inform Professor Brent immediately and have him take care of it overnight."
"Got it!"
Hou Yirong led Hou Qiang and Hou Chuan out of the room.
Hou Zhi, who was standing inside the room, saw third Master supporting his wife and walking towards the bed before turning and leaving the room.
Just as she was about to close the door, she heard Hou Yunjiao's low and commanding voice.
"Bring the soothing medicinal soup from the kitchen."
"Yes, master."
Hou Zhi closed the door and personally went downstairs to fetch the medicinal soup.
Qin Ruan, lying on the bed without any sleepiness, asked in surprise, "Why is there soup in the middle of the night?"
Hou Yunjiao sat on the edge of the bed, took off his house slippers, and pulled back the thin blanket leaning against the head of the bed.
He turned his head slightly and spoke in a warm voice, "I anticipated that tonight might not be peaceful, so I had the kitchen make preparations just in case."
Qin Ruan asked, "Only for me?"
Hou Yunjiao held her small hand and chuckled softly, "Only you will drink the medicinal soup."
The medicinal soup was still medicine, and neither he nor his second brother would drink such things.
Josh, Qin Mei, and the little tiger were all sturdy and didn't need medicinal soup to nourish their bodies.
Indeed, it was prepared only for Qin Ruan.
Qin Ruan didn't mean it that way; she asked in a different way, "Does third Master treat everyone with such tenderness and thoughtfulness? Are you worried that Second Brother might be hungry or have trouble sleeping at night?"
"No," Hou Yunjiao answered decisively, without a hint of hesitation.
Qin Ruan's expression froze slightly, unsure of how to respond.
Asking why he specifically prepared it for her would seem presumptuous, but not asking gave her a feeling of missing something obvious.
Hou Yunjiao's eyes held a smile as he explained, "Second Brother doesn't need my care because Hou Qiang will take care of him. If anything happens here, Hou Chuan will handle it promptly. Hou Zhi takes care of your well-being and takes care of many things for you."
Implicitly, it was all arranged by Hou Zhi, so Qin Ruan shouldn't feel burdened.
"Is that so?" Qin Ruan clicked her tongue lightly.
Facing Hou Yunjiao's gentle and smiling eyes, she couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for third Master's command, Hou Zhi probably wouldn't have prepared the soothing medicinal soup in the middle of the night."
Hou Yunjiao smiled and remained silent because it was indeed true.
Qin Ruan looked at the man before her, with a lazy and dignified aura, and said with a smile, "Third Young Master, you're so good at taking care of people. You're simply a perfect lover. Which woman in this world wouldn't fall for you?"
Hou Yunjiao held Qin Ruan's hand and brought it to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss, unrelated to passion or desire.
His voice was low and soft, "I don't have a lover, I have a wife."
The skin on the back of Qin Ruan's hand that was kissed felt increasingly warm.
She tried to pull her hand back, but Hou Yunjiao held it firmly, preventing her from escaping.
San Ye pinched her soft hand and soothingly said, "Be good, stop making a fuss. Huo Zhi is coming up."
Qin Ruan glared at him, "Who's making a fuss? Clearly, you're the one not abiding by the rules of martial ethics."
Hou Yunjiao raised an eyebrow in surprise and chuckled, "Oh? How am I not abiding by the rules of martial ethics?"
Qin Ruan said astonishingly, "You're too good at teasing people. Teasing someone and not taking responsibility."
A gentle smile gradually cracked on Hou Yunjiao's mild face.
He was only comforting Qin Ruan and hadn't deliberately teased her.
Seeing the mischievous glimmer hidden in the clear eyes of the young girl, Hou Yunjiao instantly understood.
This little girl was just looking for trouble for no reason, deliberately provoking him.
San Ye reached out and brushed aside the hair on Qin Ruan's face, his voice unexpectedly seductive and gentle, "Little girl, teasing someone isn't just about moving your mouth."
He leaned down, using a bit of force with both hands, kneading Qin Ruan's cheeks.
"What do you want to do?"
The words that came out of Qin Ruan's mouth carried a heavy accent, requiring careful attention to understand.
