n“I just happened to be busy and don’t have time to look after her these few days, could you… let her stay over at your place for a few days?”

nShen Yao was a year older than Ye Sang.

nBut she was petite so they looked like they were of the same age.

nThe little thing blinked her cat-like eyes and puffed her cheeks at Shen Yao’s arrogant eyes.

nShe remembered.

nBesides Duan Jinyan, the male lead of the novel, there was another female lead.

nAlthough Shen Yao’s personality was arrogant and willful, she was kind too.

nHer personality was rather twisted; she had a gentle-looking face but she always looked like she was superior to everyone else.

nHuo Yao looked up while pinching the little girl’s chubby face and asked coldly,

n“Is Shen Chuchen so poor that you are homeless?”

nShen Shanshan walked closer with a smile and replied gently, “It’s the weekend tomorrow and my brother said he’s going to the Huo family. If it doesn’t work, I’ll pick her up tomorrow.”

nSpeaking of her moody brother, Shen Shanshan twitched her lips.

nShe didn’t know what was wrong with him today. He was only going to the Huo family but he had summoned all his shadow guards who worked at home and started to look at himself in the mirror flashily.

nPeople who knew about it would know that he’s going to his sworn enemy’s house, others who didn’t know about it would think that he’s going on blind dates for middle-aged wealthy people.

nHuo Yao strode outside without looking at her, replying simply,

n“Not free. No time, don’t want to look after her.”

nThe little thing shook her head and followed after him.

nShen Shanshan froze in her spot and slowly clenched her fist. Shen Yao nudged her lightly on the side, “Mom, I don’t like it here.”

nShe acted cute, “Let’s go.”

nShen Shanshan grinded her teeth and brushed her off unhappily, “Leave? For what?”

n“Huo Yao wouldn’t accept you, don’t you know how to act cute?” She poked the little girl’s forehead furiously and fumed, “Aren’t you always smart? Where did that go?”

nIt was true that adored her daughter, but her love was only built on the foundation that she was obedient and sensible.

nAnd now Shen Yao had to calm Shen Yao down. She waved her arms and replied gently, “Mom, don’t be angry…”

n“Uncle is going to the Huo family tomorrow, I’ll ask him to take me with him.”

nShen Shanshan glanced at her, sounding suspicious, “You know your uncle’s personality well, why would he take you with him?”

nThey’ve been at the Shen family for so long but Shen Chuchen still didn’t put them in his eyes.

nThat man’s degree of heartlessness was just below Huo Yao.

nShen Yao smiled, “I’m a girl, a girl knows how to play with girls of her age the best.”

nShen Shanshan’s frown disappeared slowly.

nShe remembered Shen Chuchen’s unusual attitude when that little girl was over.

nPerhaps it’ll really work.

nThe woman immediately smiled and kissed her, complimenting her joyfully, “As expected of my daughter, Yaoyao is too smart.”

nShen Yao smiled pridefully.

nSmart…

nYes.

nCompared to Shen Yan’an silence, she was indeed considered to be smooth.

nBut no one knew better than her that her so-called ‘intelligence’ was a joke in front of her younger brother.

nWhen Shen Yan’an was three years old, he would know the answers to questions that were extremely difficult to her at a glance.

nCompared to her, Shen Yan’an is the real genius.

nIt’s a shame that…

nThe genius hated to speak.

nIt was a Friday and Ye Sang was wasting time on the way back. Huo Chenyu stood outside the door and even Old Master Huo looked anxious.

nHe glanced at the grandson who he never really adored. His granddaughter wasn’t here and for once, he started a conversation with the boy.

nOlder Master Huo frowned slightly, “Why aren’t those children back yet? Didn’t Huo Yao go to school early in the morning, why isn’t he back with her at this time?”

nHuo Chenyu looked down and replied carelessly, “Oh…”

n“Perhaps it’s because he’s useless.”

nHousekeeper: “…”

nHe wondered if his young master had taken some pills today.

nHe was a rather cold and aloof boy.

nBut he disliked anything and anyone when it came to things about Miss Sangsang.

nWell.

nHe even started to nitpick in front of Old Master Huo.

nThe housekeeper thought that since the young master was trash-talking their old master’s son, he has to be angry about it, right?

nBut Old Master Huo, who never liked Huo Chenyu before, felt gratified this time.

nHe even nodded thoughtfully and immediately laughed coldly, “I wonder where that brat took my granddaughter to.”

n“If he scares her, there’s no need to let him into the house tonight.”

nNobody understands one’s son than his father.

nOld Master Huo knew how his son acted in private.

nIf Sangsang saw him doing some things like killing people or setting them on fire, wouldn’t she be scarred for life?

nHuo Yao, who heard this as soon as he walked into the door, stared. “…”

nHe hugged the chubby and fast asleep daughter and complex feelings arose again.

nIt was his first time that his own father showed so much disdain for him.

nAfter all, Old Master Huo used to treat him like air before.

nThe housekeeper also noticed the fast asleep Ye Sang and the smiles deepened in his eyes.

nHe had been here for ten years.

nHe watched Huo Yao grow up.

nThe father and son’s relationship was like walking on thin ice, tiny things would make their fragile relationship break apart.

nWhen Mr. Huo was home, Old Master Huo would stay in his study.

nNow that they made many exceptions for their young miss, their relationship wasn’t as tense as before.

n“Our Young Miss is definitely the Huo family’s lucky star…” The housekeeper shook his head and mumbled.

nHuo Chenyu carefully examined his little sister anxiously, but he was only a ten year old boy no matter how smart he was.

nHuo Yao raised an eyebrow at Huo Chenyu standing on his tippy toes and decided to be generous for once as he bent down slightly to show his daughter to him.

nHuo Chenyu pursed his lips together as he noticed Huo Yao’s action, but he humphed coldly and immediately interrogated.

n“How did she get the scratches on her face?”

nThe man looked at him indifferently.

nThis kid wasn’t scared of him, but he was clearly mad for the little girl.

nSpeaking of the scratches on the little girl’s face, Huo Yao smiled and gloomily spat out two words:

n“Zhao family.”

nThey touched his daughter twice.

nDid they really think that he was a kind man?
