Song Ning replied with a slight look of mystery on her face. “Well, he’s not considered a guest!”
Huo Yao raised her brow and asked her. “Is it Lu Xia?”
Although Lu Xia had already gone back to the Lu family, the Huo family probably did not treat her as an outsider.
“No, it’s not her,” replied Song Ning as she shook her head and smiled.
“Why did you suddenly think it was Xiaxia?”
Huo Yao replied in a nonchalant manner. “A wild guess.”
It was very crowded at the supermarket entrance, so Huo Yao did not want to continue with this conversation. Instead, she said, “Let’s head back home first.”
Then she walked out with the two big bags in her hands.
Song Ning gazed at her slender but strong daughter from behind and sighed, thinking of the image of a delicate and tender girl in her heart.
Song Ning hurried into the kitchen after they got home and started to cook.
Huo Yao glanced at her thoughtfully before heading back to her room.
The Huo family’s doorbell finally rang at 6:30 pm.
“Yaoyao, go get the door,” shouted Song Ning from inside the kitchen as she was too busy.
Huo Yao acknowledged her and put her phone into her pocket before getting up to answer the door.
Shortly after the door opened…
“Aunt… Did I get the wrong door?”
The man at the door was halfway through saying, ‘Aunt’. When he saw Huo Yao, he swiftly swallowed the word.
Huo Yao frowned and enquired. “Hmm?”
The man had a lot of things in his hands. He stepped back and looked up at the unit number on the doorframe and said, “I was right…”
He looked at Huo Yao and was overwhelmed by her stunning good looks. Then he cleared his throat and asked her quizzically. “Is this the Huos’ residence?”
“Yes, it is,” replied Huo Yao coolly with barely any expression on her exquisite face.
Even her voice was lovely.
Although… this girl was unfamiliar, she somewhat resembled his artist on closer scrutiny.
The man’s eyes froze. Something suddenly dawned on his face. He said with surprise in his voice, “Are you Xiang’s biological little sister? The one who was taken away by another family at birth?”
Since he was acquainted with Lu Xia, it was not hard to figure out who this girl was.
Huo Yao looked at him indifferently without saying a word.
She had good looks, a beautiful voice, and gave off a cool vibe. She did not resemble someone brought up in the countryside.
A look of surprise flitted across Tong Yu’s eyes. Then he quickly introduced himself. “Hi Huo Yao. I’m your brother, Huo Xiang’s agent. My name is Tong Yu.”
Huo Yao seemed surprised to hear that. Had her mother been busy cooking in the kitchen all day because the mystery guest she was expecting today, was Huo Xiang?
The fourth elder brother of the owner of this body?
Huo Yao glanced at Tong Yu. Since he was Huo Xiang’s agent, did this mean the fourth brother, whom she had never laid eyes on, was a celebrity?
As Huo Yao sized Tong Yu up, he almost instinctively straightened his back. Although Huo Yao was a young girl, she made him feel inexplicably tense. It was mind-boggling!
Huo Yao gathered her thoughts before she pursed her lips and bowed. She said politely, “How do you do!”
Then she opened the main door wide and let him in.
Tong Yu composed his thoughts but did not enter the apartment. Instead, he placed a paper bag inside the doorway.
He smiled as he said, “I won’t be coming in. I came to help Xiang drop some gifts. I’ll be off now.”
The moment Huo Yao heard him say this, her expression turned slightly cold. Then she spuriously smiled and asked him. “Is he not coming back tonight?”
