In the villa.
Huo Tingrui had just stepped out after taking a shower. He walked up to the window and wanted to close the curtains. However, he noticed a black car outside their place with its engine off.
He glanced at it quizzically before closing the curtains.
Since Huo Tingrui was a little thirsty, he left the room and went downstairs to get a bottle of water.
Huo Jinyan was still in the living room watching the television. Huo Tingrui went over and sat down on the couch before he asked. “It’s getting late. Why don’t you watch it in your room?”
Huo Jinyan raised his head and glanced at his son. He said, “Your sister isn’t home yet.”
Huo Tingrui was shocked to hear this. “Really? She hasn’t come back yet?”
As per his understanding, his little sister was a nerd. The moment she finished dinner, she would head back to her room to study. It was the only thing she ever did. It was almost impossible to get her to step out of the house.
Even if she had things to attend to, she was always home before 10:00 pm.
She was an incredibly good girl.
“Yeah. I just called her, but she didn’t pick up. I wonder what she’s up to,” sighed Huo Jinyan quietly.
After sending him a text telling him she was going to come home late, she had not messaged him again.
Huo Tingrui felt inside his pocket and suddenly recalled that his phone was upstairs. “I’m going up to get my phone.”
He ran upstairs quickly.
Huo Tingrui called Huo Yao when he got a hold of his phone. Sure enough, no one picked up even after he let it ring for a long time.
Huo Tingrui frowned. He opened the curtains and the French window before walking out to stand on the balcony. His gaze fell on the black car which was still parked outside their villa.
Who had parked his car outside their place?
Although Huo Tingrui took a second look at it, he ignored it in the end. He leaned against a balcony railing and sent his little sister a text message.
There was no reply even after five minutes.
Huo Tingrui held his phone and considered whether to get his parents to set a curfew and not allow her to come home later than 8:00 pm since she was a girl.
Huo Tingrui turned and caught sight of the black car’s lights coming on. Even though he was not paying attention to it…
… he caught sight of the car door opening. Then a familiar silhouette came into sight. Moreover, a man got out of the car too, but he could not get a clear look at him. Huo Tingrui’s eyes opened wide.
Drat! That was his little sister!
Huo Tingrui grabbed his phone and went back in.
He stormed downstairs furiously.
Huo Jinyan looked at his son as he came running down, looking livid. He could not help asking him. “Where are you going?”
Huo Tingrui. “I’m heading out for a minute.”
Huo Jinyan was at a loss., “…”
He did not look like he was heading out. It looked more like he was going out to fight.
He was acting so weird at this hour of the night.
Huo Jinyan shook his head and ignored him.
Huo Tingrui opened the door and sprinted out at top speed. Huo Yao had swiped the card, and the door automatically opened when he got to the door.
Huo Yao was stunned when she bumped into Huo Tingrui. She composed herself and noticed the anger on his face and the indoor slippers on his feet. HShe could not help asking him quizzically. “Brother Tingrui, what’s wrong? Are you going out?”
Huo Tingrui glared at his little sister. He pursed his lips before turning to look behind her. “Where’s the car? Who’s that stranger?”
Huo Yao was baffled. “?”
