Huo Yao wanted to deny it, but she changed her mind and nodded.
Fang Ting pointed at Huo Yao’s mask and asked her warmly. “Why did you turn up for matchmaking wearing a mask?”
“I have a slight cold.” Huo Yao coughed and lowered her voice.
“I see.” Fang Ting bought her words without any doubt. “You sound pretty young. Are you even 20 years old yet?”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Almost.”
“You are attending matchmaking at such a young age. Your family must have forced you to do it, right?” Fang Ting took more snacks and placed them in front of Huo Yao. “The snacks at this event are pretty good. Have some.”
Huo Yao quietly glanced at Fang Ting and adjusted her mask without saying a word.
Fang Ting suddenly laughed before she took the food from Huo Yao and changed the subject. “Seen anyone you fancy yet?”
“Nope.” Huo Yao shook her head.
Fang Ting put more snacks into her mouth. She chewed the food a couple of times and said, “Honestly, the men here seem average.”
Was she disinterested in all men?
Huo Yao tilted her head to look at Fang Ting before she said casually, “I think there’s a guy wearing glasses and dressed in a suit who looks pretty decent. Haven’t you seen him?”
The moment Fang Ting heard Huo Yao’s description, she quickly figured out who Huo Yao was talking about. Huo Tingrui happened to appear before them nearby, so she pointed at him. “Were you talking about him?”
Huo Yao looked in the same direction and nodded. “Uh huh.”
Fang Ting smiled as she shook her head.
“Is he no good?” Huo Yao sounded puzzled.
“He might look cultured and refined, but he is just a player. He chats up all the women who approach him. How can men like him be any good?” Fang Ting pursed her lips.
Huo Yao’s lips froze. She looked at Huo Tingrui and observed him quietly for three minutes.
In just three minutes, he had already conversed with three women.
She could not bear to look any further.
Huo Yao veered her eyes away. No wonder Fang Ting would call him a player.
She looked at Fang Ting.
All the praise she had for Huo Tingrui instinctively came out as, “…you’re right. He’s no good at all.”
Fang Ting raised her brow. “See? I wouldn’t want scum like that even if he fell into my lap.”
Huo Yao stopped talking.
She confirmed that the match her mother found for Huo Tingrui had failed before it even started.
Fang Ting stopped talking about Huo Tingrui. She turned to look at Huo Yao and said, “I find you to be very familiar. Have we met?”
Huo Yao blinked before she shook her head firmly. “Nope, we haven’t.”
Fang Ting scratched her head. “But I keep feeling like I know you from somewhere.”
Huo Tingrui glanced in their direction while Fang Ting was still wondering where she had seen Huo Yao. He did not notice Fang Ting. Instead, he spotted his baby sister.
He was puzzled why his little sister had suddenly put on a mask.
Huo Tingrui headed towards Huo Yao before long.
Huo Yao raised her hand quietly and blocked her face before she said to Fang Ting, “I forgot about an appointment. See you around.”
It sounded absolutely embarrassing to be a womanizer’s little sister.
“Oh. Sure thing…” Fang Ting gathered her thoughts and turned to look at Huo Yao quizzically from behind as the latter took off.
