âOh, that one...â Zhou Manliâs lips twitched, âsheâs upstairs.â
Song Jingwan gripped onto the hem of her shirt and quickly interrupted, âMom, Iâll go call Song Yaoyao to come down!â
As soon as she said this, she smiled at Huo Qi and ran upstairs.
âThat child...â Zhou Manli smiled dotingly. âDonât mind her. So...the reason why Yaoyao was so late was because she was with Ningxi? Then, I donât have to worry.â
Huo Ningxi?
Huo Qi raised an eyebrow and smiled. âIt wasnât Young Master Ningxi.â There was only one official Master Huo in the Huo Family. Had Mrs. Song not realized who he was referring to?
In that case, he didnât mind making things clear for her. âShe was with the master of our household, Young Master Ningxiâs Small Uncle.â
That was the true Master Huo! Huo Ningxi was not qualified to be compared to their Master.
âOh, so it was... Wait! What did you say?â
Zhou Manli didnât realize what was going on at first. As she smiled, her expression suddenly stiffened.
Master Huo? Huo Ningxiâs Small Uncle?
âThat...â She smiled awkwardly as she looked at the man in disbelief. âWhy would Master Huo and our Song Yaoyaoââ
âThatâs our Masterâs private matter. As a subordinate, I have no idea,â Huo Qi replied casually. âOf course, if youâre really curious, you can always ask him yourself.â
This truly made Zhou Manli awkward. However, Huo Qi had been friendly and well-mannered from the start. So even though she had been faceslapped, she could only respond with a smile.
...
As soon as Song Jingwan reached the top of the stairs, her smile disappeared. She lifted her hand and knocked on Song Yaoyaoâs door.
There was no response.
Whenever Song Yaoyao was immersed in something, it was hard for her to be disturbed by the outside world.
Only after she retouched all the photos and completed her deal by sending the files to Meng Qiqi did she finally breathe out and massage her tired fingers.
Knock knock! Knock knock knockâ
Song Yaoyao rolled her eyes in annoyance. She then stood up and walked over to open the door.
Song Jingwanâs hand was met with emptiness, and she almost hit Song Yaoyao on the face.
âSong Jingwan, you better give me a good reason why youâre disturbing my rest.â
As she said this, she narrowed her eyes, moved her head to the side, and avoided Song Jingwanâs hand.
The bright light fell upon her small face, and there was a dark gloominess in her eyes.
When she was in a good mood, she didnât mind teasing Song Jingwan. But right now, she simply wanted some quiet time to herself.
âTch, someone brought you food. Is that a good enough reason?â
Song Jingwan glared at Song Yaoyao unhappily. Grinding her teeth, she walked past Song Yaoyao and said in a lowered voice, âSong Yaoyao, youâre certainly lucky!â
Someone brought her food?
Song Yaoyaoâs eyes lit up and the gloominess on her face disappeared. Suddenly, she brushed past Song Jingwan and happily ran downstairs.
When she didnât see Huo Yunque, Song Yaoyao was not disappointed.
She knew he wouldnât personally come. But just seeing Huo Qi was enough to make her pleasantly surprised.
âHuo Qi! Did Gege tell you to come?~â
âMiss Song.â
Huo Qi nodded and handed the container to her.
âThis is for you. I need to hurry back to the Huo Mansion, so I wonât stay for much longer.â
Song Yaoyao accepted the container. It was quite heavy.
She watched as Huo Qi nodded at Zhou Manli and Song Rui who had just come downstairs. He then turned and left. âHey, didnât Gege leave a message?â she asked as she pouted her lips.
When he heard this, Huo Qi actually stopped.
Tapping himself on the back of the head, he turned around and smiled, âI almost forgot. The Master told you that you need to eat properly to grow taller!â
