Chapter 522: Her Initiatives

Before Wen Ruan could say anything, the woman reached out her hand.

She opened her palm and held a broken jade pendant in her hand.

The jade pendant was lustrous and translucent. It was green and warm. One look and one could tell that it was a high-quality jade.

Wen Ruan looked at the woman in confusion.” Why are you giving me this?”

“This is the jade pendant that the old king gave me when I married him. Later on, I accidentally broke it into three pieces. When I gave birth to Bao ‘er, I gave Bao’ er one piece, and then I gave Yao ‘er another piece.”

“Bao ‘er, take this jade pendant and go to the border to find Yao’ er. He has the royal bloodline. We can’t let the son of a b * tch take over the country.”

The woman stuffed the jade pendant into Wen Ruan’s palm. Wen Ruan wanted to return it to her, but she held her hand tightly and refused to let go.

A hot tear fell on the back of Wen Ruan’s hand, burning her heart like a whip.

Wen Ruan wanted to tell the woman again that she was not her precious child, but when she saw the grief in the woman’s eyes, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

The sound of a lock being unlocked came from the main door. The woman seemed to have regained some consciousness. She pushed Wen Ruan and said,” Leave through the back door quickly. Don’t let anyone see you!””

Wen Ruan nodded, then said,” I’ll be leaving first. I’ll come back to see you next time. Take care!””

Wen Ruan walked to the back door and heard the guard who opened the door say rudely,” If you cry again, the Queen said that she will cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs!”

Goosebumps appeared on Wen Ruan’s arms. He sighed helplessly and quickly left through the back door.

Back in the guest room, Wen Ruan lay on the bed and looked at the broken jade in her hand with mixed emotions.

Her rationality told her that she should not get involved in this mess.

However, something seemed to be pulling her, forcing her to accept this jade pendant.

Wen Ruan’s mind was in a mess. He tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep.

Wen Ruan woke up when the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Nangong Han’s personal maid knocked on the door and asked softly,” Miss Wen, are you awake?” The King wants you to go to his palace to understand the princess’s condition.”

Hearing that Nangong Xiao wanted her to go to his palace, Wen Ruan’s heart suddenly tightened.

What did he ask her to do?

Wen Ruan didn’t want to see Nangong Xiao. Although she didn’t know why, she felt scared and disgusted from the moment she saw him!

Wen Ruan took out a silver needle from her bag and pricked the acupuncture points on her wrist.

She opened the door and looked at the maid weakly with a pale face.” I caught a cold last night. If I go to see your King, I’m afraid I’ll infect him!”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but cough.

The maid saw that Wen Ruan’s face was pale and he was coughing non-stop. He seemed to be quite ill. She nodded.” Then you should rest first. I’ll go and report to the princess first.””

Wen Ruan stopped the maid.” Please tell the Princess that I’ve caught a cold and it’s inconvenient for me to stay in the palace. I’ll leave the prescription for the diet therapy. The Princess will take it on time and her spleen and stomach will improve.””

The maid nodded and left.

Half an hour later, the maid came over and told Wen Ruan that she could leave the palace.

When she arrived at the entrance of the palace, Wen Ruan saw a black Rolls-Royce driving towards her. Soon, the car stopped in front of her.

The tall and cold man got out of the car. Seeing Wen Ruan’s pale face, he frowned.” Are you feeling unwell?”

Wen Ruan shook her head.” It’s nothing serious. Let’s talk in the car!””

Wen Ruan sat in the passenger seat. It was only after they had driven for some distance that her tensed heart relaxed a little.

Ever since she found out that Nangong Xiao wanted to see her in the morning, her heart felt like it was weighed down by a huge rock. Even though she had successfully left the palace, there was still some uneasiness and fear in the depths of her heart.

“What’s wrong with you? It doesn’t look right.” Huo Hannian parked the car by the roadside and reached out to touch Wen Ruan’s forehead.” You don’t have a fever!””

Wen Ruan pulled Huo Hannian’s hand down and clenched it tightly. After a moment of silence, she said,” Last night, I was taking a walk in the Princess Garden. I heard a woman crying. I had a nightmare!”

Huo Hannian pursed his thin lips.” Don’t go to the palace again. If Nangong Han looks for you, contact me immediately!””

Wen Ruan nodded.” Alright.”

“I’ll send you back to the apartment and pick you up at the airport later.”

Wen Ruan looked at Huo Hannian in confusion.” Why are we going to the airport?””

Huo Hannian’s handsome face looked unnatural. He cleared his throat and said,” I’m going on a business trip, so I’m going to bring you along.””

Wen Ruan bit her lips and said softly,” I can’t go on a business trip with you. I plan to take leave and go home.””

Although the two of them had the most intimate relationship, Huo Hannian did not know much about Wen Ruan. He did not even know where her home was.

“Back where?”

“Cloud City, China.”

Huo Hannian frowned. It was his birthday the day after tomorrow, and he was going to Country M for a business trip. He had planned to bring her along and spend the rest of his life with her there, but now that she was going back to Yun Cheng, he definitely wouldn’t be able to make it back in time.

Huo Hannian pursed his thin lips.” Is there anything urgent at home?””

“No…” Wen Ruan wanted to go back to Yun Cheng to see Huo Jingxiu. She had met him the last time she visited him in prison, but she did not manage to get any information that would be beneficial to her. This time, she wanted to go back and try again.

She had to know who that mysterious person was!

Huo Hannian held Wen Ruan’s little hand and bit her fair fingertips. He said in a low and hoarse voice,” Go back in a few days. I’ll go with you.””

Wen Ruan shook his head.” No, I’m going back today.””

Her personality was a typical example of a girl who was soft on the outside but tough on the inside. She was a girl with her own opinions. Huo Hannian knew that no one could change her decision.

Just like when she came to Nidu, when he hated her the most in the beginning, she still tried to make herself known to him.

The strength that she had that didn’t depend on anyone made him gnash his teeth in hatred.

Huo Hannian let go of Wen Ruan’s hand and leaned against the back of the driver’s seat. He tapped the steering wheel with his large hand, which was wearing an expensive watch.” Do you know what day is the day after tomorrow?”

Wen Ruan was stunned for a moment. Then, she remembered that it was his birthday in two days. She smiled and took the initiative to lean over. She hugged his neck and planted a kiss on the corner of his cold lips.” I’ll prepare a birthday present for you.””

Huo Hannian looked at the girl in front of him. Her eyes were curved into crescents, and she was smiling brightly. Her pearly white teeth bit her lips lightly, and she looked sweet and pure.

His Adam’s apple bobbed a few times, and his dark eyes burned.” You still want to go back?”

“Yes.”

As soon as she finished speaking, he pushed her away.

He started the engine and the car sped away.

The atmosphere in the carriage was tense and cold.

Wen Ruan’s thoughts were all on the mysterious man. If it was as she had guessed, and the mysterious man was related to Nangong Xiao, then even if she made Huo Hannian fall in love with her, Nangong Xiao might not let the two of them get together smoothly.

In the face of the powerful King of the Royal Family, could she and Huo Hannian fight back?

Wen Ruan didn’t have any confidence in her heart, so she needed to find out who the mysterious person was. Also, why did she have a fear that came from the depths of her soul towards Nangong Xiao?

Half an hour later, the car stopped at Wen Ruan’s rented apartment.

Huo Hannian took out a cigarette from his pack and bit it between his thin lips. His eyelids drooped slightly, and the blue flame from the lighter shone on his well-defined outline, making him look sharp and cold.

Wen Ruan knew that he was unhappy. Her fair little hand tugged at his sleeve.” If I can make it back in time, I will try my best to come back. Don’t be angry!””

Through the rising bluish white smoke, the man’s dark eyes glanced at Wen Ruan.” I’m going to Country M tonight. I’ll be back in five days.”

Wen Ruan bit her lip.” Then I’ll spend time with you next year, okay?””

Hearing her words, the man let out a low laugh.” Wen Ruan, do you not want to cherish my love anymore?”

“No, I cherish it very much. I still want you to fall in love with me, but this time, I really have something to do when I go back!”

He didn’t sleep well last night. There was a faint shadow in his eyes, and his beautiful little face was a little tired. Huo Hannian spat out a mouthful of smoke and didn’t say anything else.” If you have something to do, go ahead!””

Wen Ruan glanced at him and knew that he needed her to coax him, but she did not have the energy to do so.” You’re back from your business trip, so I should be back by now. See you then.””

Before Huo Hannian could say anything, Wen Ruan had already opened the car door and got out.

Huo Hannian sat in the car and didn’t move. Through the window, he watched her walk into the neighborhood. He frowned and sped up his smoking.

Wen Ruan walked out of the elevator and walked to the entrance of the apartment. She took out her keys and opened the door.

Just as the door opened, a figure came from behind. Before Wen Ruan could react, she was already pressed against the door frame.

She looked up and stared at the man’s handsome face. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when the man blocked her fiercely.

He placed his large palm on her slender waist and lifted her up onto the shoe cabinet.

He kicked the door behind him shut.

“I want to take away my birthday present in advance.”His voice was very hoarse.

Wen Ruan’s long eyelashes fluttered. She did not reject him and wrapped her fair hands around his neck.” Alright, I’ll give you a gift like this if you want it.””

Huo Hannian raised his head and looked deeply into her eyes.” Show me.””

Wen Ruan stared at him for a few seconds before she suddenly lowered her head. Her red lips pressed against his protruding Adam’s apple. He licked it.

Huo Han’s entire body stiffened. His narrow eyes were like thick ink as he looked at her. In the next second, his large palm slid down.

He carried her to the bedroom.

Their noses touched, and their hot breaths intertwined.

Wen Ruan cupped the man’s handsome face with both hands and took the initiative to kiss his sexy lips.

When Wen Ruan arrived at Yun Cheng, it was already around ten o’clock at night.

Old Mrs. Wen, who had decided to return at the last minute, was stunned for a full minute when she saw her.

“My little Jiaojiao, why did you come back without saying a word?”

Wen Ruan threw herself into the old lady’s arms.” I miss Grandma.””

“I miss Little Jiaojiao too. Quick, come in.”

Wen Ruan followed Old Mrs. Wen into the living room and was stunned when she saw the person sitting on the sofa.
