Qin Ruan patted Huo Yunjiao's back, "Third Master, I haven't been bullied by Nangong Chang. It's just that I don't feel quite right about this man."
What she didn't mention was Nangong Chang's gaze.
It was eerie, ominous, filled with a revolting intensity.
Huo Yunjiao nuzzled his chin on top of Qin Ruan's head, whispering softly, "Relax, you won't see him around soon."
His voice was gentle as water, his dark eyes flickering with a dangerous, cold menace.
"Hmm?"
Qin Ruan looked up, uncertainty flickering in her eyes.
Huo Yunjiao's menacing gaze softened, his handsome face lighting up with a gentle smile.
He whispered, "You'll find out soon enough."
Qin Ruan nodded, seemingly understanding yet not quite. She watched as the beastly sparkle in Third Master's eyes receded.
Seizing the opportunity, she unclasped herself from his embrace and once again placed her hand on her stomach.
Her body was growing heavier each day and could not handle any disturbances.
