Chapter 641: Here To Compete For Huo Yao’s Attention
Fang Ting was blown away by the truth. She turned off her video repository application and tapped on her WeChat conversation with Huo Yao.
She quickly composed a long message for Huo Yao. Just as she was about to click send, she felt a little shy.
Before she knew Huo Yao was Huo Xiang’s little sister, she could speak to her uninhibitedly and call her Yaoyao affectionately, but now…
Fang Ting deleted the text message. She went quiet for a few seconds and a thought crossed her mind. She swiped through her address book and found Huo Tingrui’s details.
Fortunately, she merely blacklisted Huo Tingrui and did not delete his details altogether.
Fang Ting exhaled before she removed Huo Tingrui from the blacklist and sent him a text message: [Hi, Mr. Huo. This is Fang Ting. What kind of interests does Yaoyao have?]
Since she was a professional groupie, she had to know everything that there was to know about the subject of her adoration.
She felt that it was inappropriate for her to ask Yaoyao directly, so she could only get more information from the man whom her mother had tried to matchmake her with.
Fang Ting continued to send Huo Tingrui several more text messages asking about Huo Yao.
She proceeded to wait nervously for his reply.

Huo Tingrui was driving when he heard the text message notification going off, but he did not check his phone right away. But more notifications kept coming, so he retrieved it finally from the car door compartment.
Huo Tingrui unlocked the phone and tapped on WeChat. He could not help narrowing his eyes when he saw the sender’s name.
Was he not blacklisted by Fang Ting?
She must have suddenly texted him now that she had finally decided to come clean about her feelings for him.
Huo Tingrui sneered softly.
Huo Yao could not help looking up to glance at Huo Tingrui when she caught him sneering.
There was a red light up ahead, so Huo Tingrui gradually slowed down. He tapped on his phone to see the contents of the text messages when his car came to a halt.
After Huo Tingrui was done reading all the text messages asking about Huo Yao, he could not help chuckling.
Previously, he thought that Fang Ting liked him. From the looks of it, he could not have been further from the truth.
Fang Ting kept affectionately saying ‘Yaoyao’ and made it sound as though Huo Yao was her little sister.
That was his little sister and not Fang Ting’s!
Huo Tingrui replied coldly: [My little sister is only interested in studying.]
He threw the phone into the compartment with a clang the moment he finished replying to the text message.
Huo Yao was resting her eyes when she heard the ruckus. She could not help opening her eyes to look at Huo Tingrui. She noticed that he looked unusually cold, so she asked him quizzically. “What’s wrong?”
The traffic light had turned green, so Huo Tingrui continued driving. After some time, he turned his head and said with a straight face, “You should do your best to avoid the Fang family.”
Huo Yao did not know where this was coming from.
Huo Tingrui did not go on with the conversation and remained annoyed for the rest of the journey.
Huo Yao simply felt that he had nothing better to do.
After reaching home in the afternoon, Huo Yao ignored Huo Tingrui who was acting weird. She took the Chinese herbs that Min Yu had pa.s.sed her this morning and proceeded to refine the medicine.
She had been looking for high-grade Seven Leaf Lotus for a long time. Since it was an extremely rare ingredient, she needed more time to think about how to use it in a prescription, so she decided not to do anything with it for the time being.

Meanwhile, on the other end, Lu Xia received a call from an unknown number asking to meet her at a restaurant downtown for high tea.
Lu Xia told the chauffeur to send her to the restaurant entrance at 3:00 pm sharp, but she did not enter punctually. Instead, she waited for ten minutes inside the car before getting off.
