Chapter 233: His Little Sister Saw Through Him
Huo Yanxi looked down but his younger brother’s words kept echoing in his ear. After a long time, he finally gathered his thoughts and said, “Really? Congrats, Yao.”
His voice clearly sounded distracted.
Huo Yao probably did not hear him since she did not answer. She had curled up lazily on the couch and was fully immersed in the online game on her phone.
The atmosphere instantly became very quiet.
Huo Yanxi was incapable of keeping this up. He stood up and said, “I suddenly remembered I have some work waiting for me.”
Huo Yanxi looked at Huo Yao, who had not made eye contact with him all this time. His lips parted, but nothing came out in the end. Quietly, he headed for the door.
Huo Xiang was stunned to see his oldest brother fleeing the scene. He stood up hurriedly and followed behind Huo Yanxi. “Brother Yanxi, let me walk you out.”
After they reached the main gate, Huo Xiang finally asked him in a confused voice. “Brother Yanxi, did you and Yao... get into a fight?”
Huo Yanxi halted and compressed his lips in a defiant line. His eyes suddenly turned a few degrees darker as he recalled the misunderstanding between him and Huo Yao. It was worse than a fight.
He shook his head. “I’m off.”
Huo Xiang scratched his head but then he shut the main gate before heading back to the living room. He wanted to say something when he saw his little sister but became hesitant.
Huo Yao put down her phone and detected his conflicted gaze. She frowned and said, “There’s no point asking since you won’t get any answers.”
Huo Xiang’s lips twitched.
Huo Yao changed the topic and said in a solemn voice, “But we can talk about how you texted me in the afternoon to ask me to appear on the variety show with you.”
Huo Xiang was stunned. After trying to talk to her about this all afternoon, he had failed to get the point across, but she shockingly saw through him.
A complicated expression emerged on his face.
A few seconds later, Huo Xiang coughed drily and sat down on the couch in a stiff manner. He said, “Then... will you come, Yao?”
With a serious expression on his face, his voice sounded humble and cautious.
If anyone from the entertainment industry could see Huo Xiang now, their eyes would definitely pop out due to shock.
Huo Yao picked up the bottle of mineral water from the coffee table and opened it. After taking a couple of sips, she enquired. “What show is it? Why are they insisting on bringing a family member along?”
Huo Xiang scratched his head. “I only know that the show is called ‘Countryside Life With My Family’. Since the show is still in its early stages of production, I’m not sure about its details either.”
Huo Yao’s expression looked a little odd when she heard the program’s name.
‘Countryside Life With My Family’... Countryside life... Countryside...
She seemed to be the only person in the family who had ever lived in the countryside. So did her fourth older brother spend so long composing his text because he was trying to seek her help for this harmless request tactfully?
Ah, she got it now!
“Why don’t I call Tong Yu and ask him. He has more information than I do,” added Huo Xiang after giving it some thought.
Huo Yao waved her hand. “Forget it.”
Huo Xiang was stunned. Did this mean his baby sister did not want to appear on the variety show with him?
