Huo Tingrui arrived at Huo Yao’s location 20 minutes later.
It was outside a bubble tea shop.
Huo Tingrui pulled over and saw his little sister standing by the roadside with a cup of bubble tea in her hand. She was drinking it with her head lowered. He sounded the horn.
Huo Yao raised her head when she heard him. She was half done with the bubble tea as she walked over to the car. The window on the front passenger side opened and she stopped before she asked perfunctorily. “Want some bubble tea?”
Huo Tingrui glanced at the bubble tea shop. There was a long queue outside, so he smiled. “No thanks…”
Before he finished his sentence, Huo Yao had already opened the door to the front passenger seat and bent over to sit down and put on the seat belt.
Huo Tingrui’s smile promptly froze.
Had she not just asked whether she wanted bubble tea?
“You don’t look like the sort who likes to eat sweet things, so we shouldn’t waste money on bubble tea.” Huo Yao glanced at him and decided.
She took another sip of bubble tea.
Huo Tingrui went speechless. “…”
She used to buy Huo Xiang cake all the time but was too miserly to even get him a cup of bubble tea. Was she really his little sister?
Huo Tingrui glared at her resentfully before he started the engine.
Huo Yao pretended not to see him glaring. After some time, she asked him. “Oh yes. What did you mean when you said I suddenly disappeared?”
Huo Tingrui tightened his grip on the steering wheel and looked straight ahead. “Dad said that he couldn’t get you on the phone, so he asked me about where you were.”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Why do I have a feeling that there is more to this?”
“You are mistaken,” said Huo Tingrui with a straight face. He coughed and continued. “You haven’t been to my place yet. Why don’t you come over tonight?”
Since it was not safe at home, he could not go back.
Huo Yao raised her head. Before she managed to reply, her phone rang in her pocket. She pulled it out to see her father’s call.
After Huo Yao answered the phone, she turned her head sideways and looked at Huo Tingrui. “… Uh huh. Brother Tingrui is here too. I will get him to come along.”
Although she did not use speaker mode, her phone was loud, so Huo Tingrui could vaguely hear his father’s voice.
Huo Yao hung up the phone and put it back in her pocket.
She turned to look at Huo Tingrui calmly and said, “Brother Tingrui, Dad asked you to come over tonight.”
Huo Tingrui’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly. However, his face remained composed. “Did he say why?”
Huo Yao shook her head. “Nope.”
She paused before she added with a straight face. “But he missed you a lot while you were away.”
However, every time Huo Jinyan brought him up, he uttered his name with a murderous aura.
A look of suspicion rose in Huo Tingrui’s eyes. Was his father not dying to throw his sons out?
Why would his father miss him?
Even though Huo Tingrui felt something was amiss, he decided to trust his little sister.
After all, his baby sister was too sweet to hurt him.
Huo Tingrui went home with Huo Yao without apprehension.
30 minutes later, Huo Tingrui got scolded by both his parents for almost two hours non-stop. He really felt like crying.
Some kind of good sister she was. It was all fake!
She was simply ruthless. She had played him!
