Chapter 789: Nervous And Excited
Huo Changfeng did not care about the strange looks, but the last thing he wanted was for Miss Huo to mistake him for some ruffian.
The moment Huo Changfeng finished his sentence, he opened the back seat door for Huo Yao.
Huo Yao nodded and got in without hesitation.
Huo Changfeng closed the door before he got into the front pa.s.senger seat unhurriedly.
After Huo Yao sat down in the car, Chen Ming turned around in the driver’s seat and greeted her. “Hi, Miss Huo. I am Chen Ming. We have already met last year.”
The first time he met her, he had pretended to be a rental car driver. Now that they were meeting for the second time, he felt a little embarra.s.sed.
Huo Yao glanced at Chen Ming and raised her brow. Did the rental car driver get promoted to become a personal chauffeur?
Huo Changfeng cleared his throat. “Drive.”
He clearly did not sound friendly.
Chen Ming cringed before he started the engine.
Huo Changfeng glanced at the young woman through the rearview mirror before checking the time and said, “Shall we have dinner?”
Huo Yao shook her head. “No thanks, Uncle Changfeng. Mom and Dad want me home early today.”
Although Huo Changfeng was a little disappointed, he did not insist since her parents were waiting for her at home. “Okay. In that case, I will send you back to your estate. We can always have dinner some other time.”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao nodded. She curled up in the back seat and seemed comfortable.
Huo Changfeng was impressed in his heart. Sure enough, Miss Huo was far easier to get along with than her older brothers. She did not appear intimidated by him at all.
If it were her second or fourth older brother sitting in the car now, they probably would not be able to sit calmly.
Moreover, even her third older brother had failed to rank first in his college entrance exams. Just that alone meant she would have a far brighter future.
After all, there was only one top scholar each year. If they were in ancient times, she would have become the prime minister.
It was great news that there was a top scholar in the Huo family.
Huo Changfeng raised his head to check the rearview mirror and said, “Miss Huo, you are brilliant for scoring full marks for the college entrance exam.”
Huo Yao straightened her body and replied confidently. “Thanks, Uncle Changfeng. It was alright.”
Huo Changfeng’s lips twitched when he heard her response. He suddenly felt that despite her sweet harmless appearance, she was very good at making people feel bad about themselves.
“Oh yes, Uncle Changfeng. How is my uncle’s health off late?” asked Huo Yao as she changed the subject.
The moment she brought up Master Jinfeng, Huo Changfeng looked serious and replied. “Master Jinfeng is a lot better now thanks to your meds.”
Huo Yao nodded lazily. “Uh huh. That’s great.”
Huo Changfeng pondered for a couple of seconds and asked. “As for the medication… Young Master Yulin told me you made them personally. Miss Huo, you must be medically trained, right?”
Although his sentence ended with a question mark, he spoke in a definitive tone.
Huo Changfeng also got his subordinates to investigate Huo Yao after receiving the medicine from her. However, they did not learn anything about how she ended up having knowledge of medicine.
Huo Changfeng was genuinely curious.
Since everyone had secrets, he did not probe her.
“Uh huh. I learned Chinese medicine from an old Chinese physician in the countryside.” Huo Yao used the same excuse.
Huo Changfeng went quiet for a while.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and said, “I should examine him personally if I ever get the chance.”
