“already feel sorry for troubling you. Closing down Wanying was a surprise bonus. As for the instigator, there’s no rush.”
Elder Hou heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.
“Don’t worry, we’re already investigating.”
Song Yaoyao took a sip of the hot tea, but she smiled without saying a word.
This girl…
She was getting more and more unfathomable.
Elder Hou sighed in his heart, but he was also very curious. “By the way, what did Wanying do to offend you? Which blind person dared to provoke you?”
That person was probably tired of living.
Just having Huo Si and Huo Jiu, the two guardians, following Song Yaoyao closely, an ordinary person needed real ability to hurt her.
“Huh?”
Song Yaoyao looked up at Elder Hou innocently. After a long while, she said softly, “They made me unhappy.”
Elder Hou: “…”
That was a very powerful reason!
Knock Knock
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Song Yaoyao and Elder Hou both looked up at the door.
“Come in.”
Huo Ningxi first saw Song Yaoyao, then Elder Hou.
He did not expect that there was another person in the study.
Since when did Song Yaoyao become so close to Elder Hou?
“Elder Hou.”
He nodded slightly and said respectfully.
“Why are you looking for me?” Elder Hou smiled. After drinking the tea in his cup, he picked up a doc.u.ment, stood up, and said softly to Song Yaoyao, “Yaoyao, this is the doc.u.ment the research inst.i.tute asked me to give you. Take a look first. Whether you agree or not is up to you. Of course, in my heart, I
definitely hope that you can agree.”
She had the skills, so Elder Hou naturally hoped that it would benefit the public.
“Tl think about it carefully.”
Song Yaoyao nodded.
“Then you guys chat. I’ll be leaving first. Keep in touch.”
“Huo Jiu, send Elder Hou off.”
Elder Hou left very quickly.
Song Yaoyao knocked on the table. “Sit.”
Huo Ningxi sat down in a daze. He sized up Song Yaoyao and momentarily forgot what he wanted to say.
She had grown up too quickly. Although he could still see her shadow from before, her personality was becoming more and more stable, and she was becoming more and more like his Small Uncle.
Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed.
“Do you want some tea?” Before Huo Ningxi could answer, Song Yaoyao had already taken out a new cup and poured some tea. She pushed it to Huo Ningxi’s hand. “Try it. Is there something you need from me?”
Huo Ningxi hurriedly picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth. Song Yaoyao gasped, but before she could stop him, he was already scalded.
Song Yaoyao was speechless. “The tea is very hot.”
It was freshly brewed.
Huo Ningxi swallowed the tea with great difficulty. He only felt a burning pain on his lips.
He smiled bitterly. “I seem to always embarra.s.s myself in front of you.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Song Yaoyao shrugged. “I’m already used to it.”
“Ha…”
He smiled helplessly. “Indeed.” He did not know when it started, but Song Yaoyao had already become someone that he could not catch up to no matter how hard he tried.
The two of them sat quietly facing each other. The steam seemed to have soaked the young girl’s eyes and brows, making her appear even fairer and more translucent.
Huo Ningxi’s Adam’s apple moved. His hands fell on his thighs and clenched into fists.
“Last night…”
“Are you here to get me back for that?”
Song Yaoyao raised her eyebrows. Her eyes were lively and contained a hint of ridicule.
It made Huo Ningxi blush. He rubbed his nose. “No, it’s not that. I’m here to thank you.”
Otherwise, he would be even more ashamed to stand in front of her.
“Is this how you thank someone? You’re not being sincere at all.”
Song Yaoyao yawned, drooping her eyes lazily as she fiddled with the incense burner beside her.
Huo Ningxi: “…
He was originally quite serious and nervous, but after hearing Song Yaoyao’s words, all his tensed emotions relaxed..
