Huo Yulin happened to be nearby, so he arrived soon after a 15 minutes drive.
Before long, he entered the private room. The moment he saw Huo Changfeng, he put on a serious look and did not seem as relaxed as he usually was around his little sister.
He nodded and said reverently, “Hi, Uncle Changfeng.”
“Hi, Young Master Yulin.” Huo Changfeng stood up and bowed slightly before taking a seat once more.
Huo Yulin pulled a chair to sit down beside Huo Yao. He looked at her sideways and noticed that she did not get any sunburn. He understood that she had used the sunblock he gave her.
Huo Yulin scrutinized her for a few seconds and said, “Even though you have gone for military training, you didn’t lose any weight.”
Huo Yao cleared her throat. She had been enjoying the cooking of a private chef for every meal during the military training, so she had more than enough nutrition. It would have taken a real miracle to become slimmer.
“The food at Tsing University is great,” replied Huo Yao.
Huo Yulin raised his brow. There were clear signs of staying up late on his fair face.
Huo Yao glanced sideways at him as she poured him some tea. “How many days have you gone without sleep this time?”
Huo Yulin took a sip of tea and answered without making eye contact with her. “Just two or three days.”
Huo Yao smiled ambiguously. She would be an idiot to believe him. “You should go home and rest for a few days.”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yulin nodded. He put down his teacup and noticed an exquisite box on the table. Since it was within reaching distance, he picked it up and asked casually. “What’s this?”
The moment he finished his sentence, he opened the box and was stunned when he saw the car keys inside.
Wasn’t this the key to Uncle Changfeng’s favorite sports car? He wanted to drive the car, but Uncle Changfeng refused to let him do it. He loved the car so much that he carefully kept it in storage and did not allow anyone to touch it.
Huo Yulin raised his head to look at Huo Changfeng. “Uncle Changfeng, Have you shipped your car home?”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Changfeng softly. He wanted to take the keys back. Since Miss Huo was around, it was inappropriate to do it now.
Huo Yulin’s eyes instantly lit up. He took the key from the box and asked. “Mind if I borrow it for a couple of days then?”
Huo Changfeng pursed his lips as he glanced at Huo Yao. He had to keep up his image as a genial elder, so he suppressed his temper before he finally said, “… Fine.”
Huo Yulin was rather shocked to hear this. He did not bear much hope when he had asked him the question.
After all, everyone knew how much Uncle Changfeng adored the Specter.
“Are you really willing to lend it to me for a couple of days?” asked Huo Yulin quizzically once more.
Huo Changfeng said nothing.
Huo Yulin could not help glancing at the box again. It was clearly an exquisite gift box, so a thought instantly crossed his mind.
Was Uncle Changfeng planning on giving the car keys to Huo Yao?
Huo Yulin turned his head and glanced at his little sister. He contemplated for a couple of seconds before he swiftly took the car keys and put them inside his pocket. It was the perfect opportunity to take the Specter out for a spin.
Huo Changfeng went speechless.
Huo Yao did not notice their reaction at all. She quietly ate with her head lowered without interrupting their conversation.
Before long, she was done eating.
Huo Yao put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue. She felt like using the toilet, so she stood up. “I am going to the ladies.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yulin softly as he waved his hand at her.
After she left the private room, Huo Changfeng put down his chopsticks and the genial look on his face disappeared.
He raised his head and looked at Huo Yulin deeply with his palms up on the table. “Give it back to me.”
