158: Chapter 158: A Beautiful Woman’s Smile That Steals One’s Soul 158: Chapter 158: A Beautiful Woman’s Smile That Steals One’s Soul Huo Yunjiao closed the file in his hand and removed the glasses from his nose bridge.
The docunt in his hand was valued at tens of billions, it was a contract signed between the HEA Group and the J party from X Country.
Today, he and his second cousin watched the goods being shipped out with their own eyes.
This would be their last batch of weapons provided to X Country for the year.
There were so matters the Huo Family didn’t want to ddle in, nor did they want to stir up trouble during this peaceful ti.
Huo Yunjiao raised his hand to rub his brow, then abruptly stopped.
He turned his head to look at Qin Ruan sitting beside him, his indifferent gaze becoming gentle as it landed on her small face, no bigger than a palm.
He saw her sitting obediently, her eyelids drooping in obvious exhaustion, her body unconsciously leaning towards him.
The corners of his lips tugged delicately, his eyebrows knitting in his exquisitely fine face, revealing a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
This lass sure was bold.
Tonight, before going to bed, he was worried about her and couldn’t put her out of his mind, so he called Huo Zhi and learned that Qin Ruan was at a stranger’s house.
He then had soone investigate the residents in that area, ultimately pinpointing the known actor from the entertainnt industry, Xia Yunchen.
After a long while, Huo Zhi was still waiting outside the door, not able to find Qin Ruan.
Huo Yunjiao couldn’t quite describe the feeling in his heart, but sohow it was a bit restless.
It wasn’t just worry for Qin Ruan, but also a strange feeling of her being pregnant and at another man’s house so late at night.
When he arrived outside Xia Yunchen’s mansion, it was not yet midnight, the very day he and Qin Ruan had registered their marriage.
Strictly speaking, it was their wedding night.
He waited outside for more than three hours before he saw Qin Ruan co out.
But this lass didn’t care; she didn’t offer any explanation once she got into the car, and promptly fell asleep.
While Huo Yunjiao felt the weariness in his heart, he also felt a sense of absurdity.
Waiting outside for soone for over three hours in the middle of the night was sothing he could do?
Even when the cabinet was in chaos in the past, he had never been this proactive.
Perhaps it was because Huo Yunjiao’s gaze was too intense, Qin Ruan stopped when her head was about to lean on his shoulder.
Very quickly, she straightened her body, looking rather confused within her tired gaze.
Her pitiful look was enough to soften his heart.
He reached out to support Qin Ruan’s cervical vertebra, and brought her into his embrace, allowing her to lean on him.
“Sleep, we’ll be ho soon,” his voice was unbelievably gentle.
Inhaling the faint wood scent coming from him, Qin Ruan’s groggy mind beca even more confused.
Resisting the drowsiness, she lifted her eyes to steal a quick glance at the man holding her.
This glance t the deep and concentrated gaze of Huo Yunjiao.
The faint smile in his eyes, and his beautifully exquisite face not vulgar at all, was soft and there was no longer any sense of aloofness.
With Qin Ruan in his arms, Huo Yunjiao’s face bead with a tender smile, “Aren’t you sleepy anymore?”
His defined hand reached out towards her.
Qin Ruan was startled and a little taken aback.
She felt a cool touch near her ears as he swept back her fallen hair.
Seeing Qin Ruan in this dreaming state, the corners of Huo Yunjiao’s lips hooked up almost imperceptibly.
A soft laugh echoed in the car cabin.
One smile from the beauty can steal one’s soul.
Qin Ruan was stunned.
Huo Yunjiao’s voice was low and soft, his laughter pleasant to the ear, making Qin Ruan feel as if she was floating.
Returning her senses from the captivating sight, Qin Ruan suddenly asked, “Were you angry earlier?”
She was far from tactful in speaking.
She had almost caught him off guard with her directness.
Huo Yunjiao stayed stunned for a mont, but quickly resud a composed expression.
He sighed lightly, “Lass, do you know what ti it is?”
Just as Qin Ruan was about to take out her phone, Huo Yunjiao stopped her, “It’s already two in the morning.”
