nAs soon as he finished speaking, Huo Ningxi heard the sound of knuckles cracking.

nHis head felt numb as he looked at Song Yaoyao.

nSong Yaoyao smiled slightly. “Guess what you look like to me.”

nHuo Ningxi’s eyelids twitched and he stepped back. With a threatening tone, he said, “Song Yaoyao, don’t you dare— Ahhh!”

nThe girl’s fist slammed into his face. Blinking, Song Yaoyao said, “I think you look like you’re asking for a beating.”

n“F*ck, Song Yaoyao!”

nHe lifted his hand and looked into Song Yaoyao’s bright and beautiful face. With her chin raised slightly, she looked fearless.

n“Go ahead, hit me! When we get back, I’ll tell Gege that you bullied me!”

n“I’m the one that’s going to tell Small Uncle that you bullied me!” Huo Ningxi glared at her childishly and lowered his hand.

n“Ha~ Gege wouldn’t believe you!”

nSong Yaoyao pulled a face at him and looked out the window. “Uncle, stop here, I want to buy something!” she quickly said to the driver.

nShe hadn’t forgotten about her promise of bringing gifts for Tang Xinrou and the others~

nIf not for Shen Xun’s help the previous day, she wouldn’t have made so much money!

nSo, she had to carefully select some gifts!

nAs he watched her step out of the car and run lightly into the distance, Huo Ningxi wiped his face,

nHis eyes met with the driver’s through the rearview mirror.

nHuo Ningxi’s gaze sharpened. “If you dare say a word—”

n“Young Master, I didn’t see a thing,” the driver lowered his head and replied calmly.

nThat’s about right!

nFrom the moment that Song Jingwan arrived at school, she kept guard over the gates. When she saw Huo Ningxi step out of his car and the car leave without any sign of Song Yaoyao, her heart finally relaxed.

n“Ningxi~”

nShe quickly rushed over, her nose red from the cold and looking pitiful. “Good morning~”

nAfter being angered by Song Yaoyao and seeing the well-behaved Song Jingwan, he felt a lot better. “Good morning. Why are you standing here?

n“It’s cold outside.”

nHe asked curiously.

n“I was waiting for you, of course~” Song Jingwan looked down with embarrassment and laughed shyly. Running her hand through her hair, she suddenly said, “Oh, that’s right, where’s Yaoyao?

n“Didn’t she come with you today?”

n“Her?”

nHuo Ningxi gritted his teeth at the mention of her name. “Who knows where she went. She can do whatever she wants!”

nSong Jingwan’s lips curved in secret, but when she lifted her head, her eyes were filled with worry. “Oh?

n“Isn’t Yaoyao staying at the Huo Manor anymore?

n“Where could she possibly go…”

n“Of course she’s still there.”

nHuo Ningxi glanced at her curiously. “But why isn’t she going home?” Why was she staying at his home anyway? It was so annoying.

nSong Jingwan’s expression froze. Clasping onto her bag, she said sadly, “Oh…yes, why isn’t she?

n“You see, Yaoyao…sh-she had an argument with my mom. Because of a few words of scolding, she ran away from home impulsively. When I tried to persuade her to come home, she didn’t listen to me. Oh, that personality of hers. Just the thought of it gives me a headache…”

n“I know, right? You also think she has a bad temper?”

nHuo Ningxi brushed back his hair and strode inside. In a strange tone, he asked, “She’s nothing like how she appears. Why is she so violent?

n“You have no idea what she did this morning…”

nHe was tall and his strides were big and fast. However, he didn’t notice Song Jingwan’s gaze grow colder and colder behind him.

nHuo Ningxi probably didn’t realize either. He had never been a person of many words. But when he spoke about Song Yaoyao, he couldn’t stop.

nHe was the Young Master of the Huo Family. When had he ever been hit and not had the ability to fight back?
