The person in front of the desk stood still. Huo Yunque raised his eyebrows. “Anything else?”
“Uncle,” Huo Ningxi asked in a low voice, “Can I move back home for a few days?”
Huo Yunque stood up and walked past him. His aura made Huo Ningxi feel very small.
“Uncle…” he asked again with a hint of pleading in his tone.
“As you wish.”
!!
After he left, Huo Ningxi let out a long breath, then rubbed his stiff face and smiled bitterly.
“Huo Ningxi, oh Huo Ningxi, aren’t you sad?”
How did he get to this point? Things didn’t have to be this way.

“Yaoyao, I’m here to see you!”
The day after Tang Xinrou flew back, she couldn’t wait to see Song Yaoyao.
She threw herself at Song Yaoyao and gave her a big bear hug. When she noticed the person sitting on the sofa out of the corner of her eye, she was stunned and asked softly, “Why is he here?”
“This is his home. Isn’t it normal to live at home?”
Song Yaoyao would never know what Huo Ningxi and Huo Yunque had discussed in the past. Neither of them would ever mention it to her, so of course, she had no way of knowing. She only thought that Huo Ningxi had genuinely moved out because of work.
Hearing Song Yaoyao’s natural answer, Tang Xinrou rolled her eyes speechlessly. “You’re so oblivious. I’m not going to explain it to you!”
She shoved the small gift she had brought for Song Yaoyao into her hands and pulled her into the hall with a smile.
Huo Ningxi looked up and met Tang Xinrou’s eyes.
He was the first to smile. “What a coincidence.”
As the saying went, one should never hit a smiling face. Since Tang Xinrou was not as outspoken as before, she nodded and said, “Yes, it’s quite the coincidence. It’s been a while.”
“Yeah, I’ve been busy with work.”
They made it sound like they were quite close outside of work.
Tang Xinrou was speechless. Huo Ningxi put away the documents and stood up. “You guys talk then. I still have work to do. I’ll go to the company first. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye, goodbye. Take care on the road!” Tang Xinrou heaved a sigh of relief.
When Huo Ningxi walked past Song Yaoyao, he turned his head and suddenly said softly, “I’ll be leaving first.”
The reason why Huo Ningxi was rated as the school hunk back in the days was because he was pursued by countless girls. On one hand, it was because of his superior family background. On the other hand, it was because of his outstanding looks.
When he was gentle, he was indeed very attractive.
“Okay, bye.” Song Yaoyao waved her hand.
After Huo Ningxi left, Tang Xinrou held Song Yaoyao’s arm and complained, “I didn’t expect him to be so tactful.” She went upstairs with Song Yaoyao affectionately and sighed, “Time is a butcher’s knife. I feel like I haven’t seen Huo Ningxi for a long time. The last time I saw him was last year. He has changed so much that I almost couldn’t recognize him.”
Actually, his facial features had not changed much. They had simply aged, and his contours had become firm and strong, beginning to take on the appearance of a man. The biggest change was still Huo Ningxi’s temperament.
“Hey, do you feel that he is becoming more and more like your Gege?” Tang Xinrou asked in a low voice.
“Is he?” Song Yaoyao did not think so. She shook her head. “In my heart, my brother is the most special person in the world. There is no similarity or dissimilarity.”
Either way, she did not notice it.
Tang Xinrou rolled her eyes. “Forget it, let’s not talk about this.”
Song Yaoyao only had Huo Yunque in her heart. She didn’t have to worry about anything else. So what if Huo Ningxi looked like him? Would Song Yaoyao ever abandon Huo Yunque to be with him?
He simply looked like him, he could never become him.
Song Yaoyao and Tang Xinrou went to Song Yaoyao’s previous room. Her room was still the same, with pink curtains and household items. It was also overflowing with soft toys.
Seeing this, Song Yaoyao was filled with memories.
Her good luck seemed to have failed on the claw machine. It didn’t work at all. No matter how much money she threw at it, she was unable to successfully catch one from inside.
It was Huo Yunque who had caught so many for her.
As she looked at everything, Song Yaoyao smiled and her dimples sank.
Tang Xinrou rubbed the goosebumps that did not exist on her arms and said sourly, “Aiyo, who are you thinking of again? Are you missing your Gegeagain? He just left for work and you’re already missing him? How good would it be if magic existed in this world, right?”
Song Yaoyao coughed and stared at her with a serious expression. “What are you saying? I don’t understand.”
“Tsk tsk tsk” Tang Xinrou chuckled and bumped her shoulder. “If there was magic, you could shrink yourself and follow him to work in his pocket, right? Little Wifey?”
“Little…” Little Wifey?
Song Yaoyao couldn’t help but think of those embarrassing CEO novels she had read in the past. Her eyes were watery as she glared at Tang Xinrou. “If you say that again, be careful or I’ll hit you.”
Tang Xinrou laughed and fell into Song Yaoyao’s arms. “Hit me? Could you bear to do that? You’ve been in the limelight recently. You may as well debut. I’ll definitely be the first to pick you.”
“No.”
Song Yaoyao coldly refused.
Knock knock knock
As she was speaking, there was a knock on the door. “Small Auntie, there’s a phone call.”
The corner of Tang Xinrou’s mouth twitched. She turned her head in a daze and her eyes were filled with confusion. “Small… Auntie? My Precious, I haven’t seen you for a few days, but you’ve really made me look at you in a whole new light!”
Song Yaoyao glanced at her speechlessly, then stood up to open the door.
“Who is it?”
“I think it’s from the studio.” Huo Tian scratched her head and handed the phone to Song Yaoyao.
“You think so?” Song Yaoyao raised her eyebrows.
She stared at Huo Tian quietly. She was clearly not tall and looked very sweet and cute, but she had an imposing manner. Huo Tian was quickly frightened by her.
“It is from the studio. They asked you to go over and take a look. So, Small Auntie, are you going out?”
Huo Tian was initially reluctant to call Song Yaoyao, Small Auntie. Calling a girl who was only two years older than her Small Auntie was too embarrassing. However, with Huo Yunque around, all the servants and Uncle Zhang haunted her like ghosts. They would appear out of nowhere and remind her, “Don’t be disrespectful to Miss Song. She’s your elder.”
Huo Tian was almost scared out of her wits, and her nerves were severely weakened.
Song Yaoyao caught her eager look. She smiled and said, “That’s right.”
“Ah! Th-then take care, Small Auntie. Be careful on the road and have a safe journey!” Huo Tian could not hide her excitement.
Tang Xinrou walked out from behind Song Yaoyao. Looking at Huo Tian, she raised her eyebrows and looked at her questioningly with a suspicious look.
What exactly did Song Yaoyao do to this girl? She looked like she was being oppressed to the point of exhaustion.
Song Yaoyao smiled. “Let’s go to the studio together. Oh right…”—when she passed by Huo Tian, she looked sideways and called her over—”you should come too.”
