Chapter 691: Fiancee, Mine
So, she was from the Huo Family?
But he had never heard that the Huos had a daughter who was close to Huo Yunque…
Old Hou was confused.
“h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo.” He nodded and sized up Song Yaoyao discreetly.
Song Yaoyao’s inquisitive gaze lingered on him. She took the water from Huo Yunque, took two sips to moisten her throat, shook her head, and pushed the cup back to him.
Huo Yunque sat down beside her, his arm naturally resting on the armrest of the sofa. If one did not look closely, one would think that he was hugging Song Yaoyao.
Elder Hou’s eyelids twitched.
Then, he saw Huo Yunque take the cup that the girl had used and drink a mouthful of water.
He did not put it down after that, but casually played with it in his hand.
“You two…” He almost forgot the purpose of his visit. The poor old man was so old, but he was confused by this contrasting couple.
What was their relations.h.i.+p?
Song Yaoyao’s beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons. She looked at Huo Yunque with a smile and waited for his answer.
The man patted her head lovingly. “Fiancee, mine.”
His dark and deep eyes looked into Song Yaoyao’s eyes, and his tone was firm.
His…
Song Yaoyao’s heart felt like it had been scalded, and her ears went numb. She scratched her earlobe, and her expression was not quite normal.
“Yes, okay.”
Her voice was as soft as a cat’s.
“This is really…” Old Hou took a deep breath. “This is really unexpected.”
What else could he say other than congratulations?
He had guessed that the young lady’s ident.i.ty might not be ordinary, but who would have thought that she was so extraordinary.
Moreover, her ident.i.ty had not been exposed yet, and those other girls in the circle had not given up. They pestered their elders all day, and they racked their brains trying to get into the Huo Family.
“Yes, this is really unexpected…”
Huo Yunque finished the gla.s.s of water in one gulp, his gaze sweeping across the delicate little face.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that he would end up in the hands of such a delicate little girl. Most importantly, she was as old as his nephew.
All the anomalies in his life were related to her.
Not only did he not regret it, he was even willing to endure it.
Whenever she shed a single tear, he wished he could give his heart to her.
Song Yaoyao tried her best to keep a straight face and her cheeks were hot. She took the opportunity to give him a sideways glance, a hidden warning.
That look made her feel like there were ants crawling all over her body, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Old Hou could sense the subtle aura between the two of them. He chuckled and sighed, “It’s better to be young in the end.”
He shook his head and straightened his expression.
“Yunque, I came to visit you today. I’m sure you know the reason, right?”
“Please tell me.”
Huo Yunque asked Uncle Zhang to bring a piece of cake for Song Yaoyao as he crossed his legs and nodded slightly.
Old Hou smiled bitterly. “I heard that you sent people to surround the house where the Lancaster Family is staying.”
“Uh huh.” The man crossed his slender fingers and said calmly, “That’s true.”
Elder Hou choked.
“What’s the reason? There has to be a reason! Yunque, you’re not such an impulsive person! It’s not good for you or me to become enemies with the Lancaster Family.”
“What are you worried about? I wouldn’t be so reckless as to kill them myself. It’s just that the outside world hasn’t been peaceful these past few days, so I’ve sent some people to protect them.”
Old Hou: “…”
Was it protection or house arrest?
He moved his lips, but in the end, he didn’t get the answer.
In fact, the answer was already known to both of them.
