Chapter 40: Meeting The Parents

Song Yaoyao’s eyes curved.

In the end, she had an innocent expression on her face.

Huo Yunque’s phoenix eyes closed lightly. He could see clearly through her and his lips slightly curled.

You better hide that tail of yours and not get caught.

…

Carrying her backpack, Song Yaoyao bounced out of the elevator behind Huo Yunque and ran straight into Huo Ningxi who was just about to leave.

Huo Ningxi was still hurting in the spot where he had been hit, so when he saw Song Yaoyao, he was extremely displeased.

As he looked into her eyes, he asked, “Song Yaoyao, are you a shadow that follows someone around?”

Wasn’t his Small Uncle taking her home? How did he end up bringing her here?

What mysterious game were these two playing?

Thump—

“Ow!! Song Yaoyao, f*ck—”

An empty milk tea cup hit Huo Ningxi’s face and fell on the ground. It rolled a few times and stopped, creating a sense of silent arrogance.

“Are you a f*cken fly? Why do you keep buzzing around in front of my eyes?” A fist swayed in front of Huo Ningxi’s eyes, appearing as though it would hit his face at any moment.

Huo Ningxi held his face and took a couple of steps back, grinding his teeth until they squeaked.

Walking ahead, Huo Yunque turned around casually, “Song Yaoyao, little kids shouldn’t swear.”

Hearing this, Song Yaoyao pointed at Huo Ningxi unhappily, “But he swore too!”

“Just because he’s beyond saving, does that mean you have to be like him too?”

The man strode away and disappeared around the corner.

His gray trousers outlined his long, straight, and slender legs. With his superior height of 185cm, the suit on his body made him look more perfect than some of the top male models. He was absolutely charming!

Seeing him walk away, Song Yaoyao quickly ran after him.

“Gege! Wait for me~”

Huo Ningxi gritted his teeth. “Song Yaoyao, you just wait!”

This was now a grudge!

Song Yaoyao caught up to Huo Yunque easily. She grabbed onto the corner of his shirt, turned her head, and pulled a face at him.

“Bleh—”

Hit me if you want!

But it’s a shame that you’re no match for me~

…

Elder Huo was in his sixties. He was quite old when Huo Yunque was born, and he was his only son.

As for Huo Ningxi’s father, he was just the son of an old friend’s. Due to an accident, his parents passed away so Elder Huo adopted him.

Some could say he was cold-blooded and heartless, but when it came to his biological son, especially one that was finally born in his forties, he was particularly biased.

Fortunately, the clever Huo Yunque, who had followed beside his father from a young age, did not disappoint.

The moment that Huo Yunque entered his father’s room, the old man had just returned from next door.

It was often said that an elder was a precious asset of the home, but it wasn’t often that a person treated the hospital like his home.

“Oh? Did you run into Ningxi on the way here? He just left,” Elder Huo asked as he put down the gaming device in his hands.

Huo Yunque walked inside and replied indifferently, “Yes, I saw him.”

“Tch, he’s your nephew. Why are you always so cold to him? I wonder who you inherited that from!” Elder Huo rolled his eyes. His son was talented but too cold. Just as he was sighing, he spotted the corner of a shirt behind Huo Yunque.

In surprise, he asked, “Are you hiding something behind you?”

Huo Yunque raised his eyebrows and moved aside.

A small head peered out behind him. She had fair skin, a tall nose, a small mouth, and big eyes like a doll. “Hello, Grandfather!” she greeted cutely.

“Oh!” Elder Huo’s face lit up as he looked at Huo Yunque in surprise. It was as though he no longer recognized him. “Where did this young lady come from?”
