Chapter 603: Calling me Third Brother makes me comfortable
Chapter 603: Calling me Third Brother makes me comfortable
Relaxing his body, Qin Ruan lazily half-reclined on the wicker chair.
She said to the man beside her, "Your attitude towards Hou Zhi in the past was not gentle, nor would you be so stern like today. How should I put it? It just feels very picky."
Hou Yunjiao chuckled at her words, "You, this girl, are very observant of others."
Qin Ruan's eyes narrowed slightly, not denying it, "So, you don't like Hou Zhi?"
"Not at all." Hou Yunjiao shook his head. He brought a cup of warm water to Qin Ruan, "Since you're pregnant, it's not suitable to drink tea."
Qin Ruan picked up the cup and took a sip, finding the temperature just right.
She continued to ask, "If you don't dislike Hou Zhi, why were you so stern with her today?"
The conversation returned to Huo Zhi again.
Hou Yunjiao clasped his hands, resting them on his abdomen.
His tone was somewhat indifferent as he said, "Hou Zhi made a mistake when she went out with Second Brother. The reason I allowed her to stay is because I promised you to let her return to your side."
Qin Ruan's eyelashes fluttered, and she didn't comment on it.
Right or wrong, she had no position to judge.
The fact that Hou Zhi could come back alive couldn't be denied as Hou Yirong's doing.
If he hadn't acted, she wouldn't have seen Hou Zhi today.
Qin Ruan looked up, and her gentle gaze fell on the man beside her, "Thank you."
Hou Yunjiao tilted his head and looked at Qin Ruan, teasingly saying, "Instead of saying thank you to me, it's more comfortable for you to call me Third Brother."
His smile was warm, and his eyes were filled with tenderness. The deep and affectionate gaze exuded charm, making people unintentionally fall into the deep abyss.
In the past, she might have blushed and felt embarrassed by his words, but now, she remained calm, with a gentle curve at the corner of her eye.
With an intentionally soft and low voice, she spoke ambiguously, "Third Brother..."
Her voice fluctuated, like cat claws scratching Hou Yunjiao's heart.
Her good behavior pleased Hou Yunjiao.
Hou Yunjiao reached out and gently touched her nose, "So obedient."
With a tone full of laughter, he gently exhaled from his thin lips.
Qin Ruan made a slight pout. This man was easy to please. Just one call of "Third Brother," and he was satisfied.
She touched her nose and leaned back in the chair, swaying it from time to time.
The warm sunlight shone on Qin Ruan and Hou Yunjiao, and a gentle breeze swept over them.
The two of them enjoyed this rare comfort.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere didn't feel awkward.
Their breaths intertwined in the air, reaching a spiritual understanding.
After a while, Hou Yunjiao asked, "Are you hungry?"
Qin Ruan touched her round belly and replied with a lazy tone, "Seems like it."
Hou Yunjiao stood up and walked to her side, reaching out to support her back.
"Go to the living room, it's uncomfortable to sit here."
She grumbled lazily, not wanting to move now that she was full.
Hou Yunjiao looked at her growing belly and stood up, wanting to embrace her. Startled, Qin Ruan quickly stood up, avoiding his outstretched arms, and spoke rapidly, ''I suddenly feel like taking a walk. It seems like exercise might be helpful for childbirth.''
Hou Yunjiao was still weak, and she feared he might stumble if he carried her.
Seeing his surprise and complex expression, Qin Ruan walked ahead, holding his arm, and left the dining room, afraid of hurting his pride and changing the topic.
''Third Brother, I heard you mention the Nangong family to Hou Qiang earlier. Are there only four major families and five major clans left in the capital now?'
At that moment, it became apparent how effective it was to call him Third Brother when there's something to discuss, and Third Young Master when there's nothing.
Hou Yunjiao knew Qin Ruan's little tricks, but he didn't mind her doubting his strength. He couldn't help but feel amused and helpless.
