Chapter 113: Incapable Of Seeing Through Her Second Older Brother

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Huo Tingrui was the most refined and well-tempered one amongst all the Huo brothers, he was also the hardest to get along with, not to mention, the sharpest.

Huo Tingrui might have been pleasant to Lu Xia, but she could never truly figure out what was on his mind. Even after being his younger sister for years, Lu Xia could never see through him.

But judging from his attitude towards Huo Yao, he was already far closer to Huo Yao than he ever had been to Lu Xia.

Lu Xia found it unfathomable. She had spent years with Huo Tingrui but still fell short in making the relationship strong. On the other hand, Huo Yao had barely been with the family for a month and seemed to have a warm bond with Huo Tingrui already.

Although Lu Xia felt awful, she persisted in wanting to confirm her doubt and did not tell the driver to leave. She ended up sitting quietly in the car.

Lu Xia kept gazing at the hospital entrance through the car’s window until her limbs turned numb and cold. She waited until Huo Yao and Huo Tingrui walked out of the hospital, and left in his car.

“Miss Lu, the car already left. Should we keep following it?” asked the chauffeur as he turned to look at Lu Xia in the backseat.

Lu Xia closed her sore eyes with barely any expression on her face. A while later, she replied calmly. “It’s fine. Let’s go home.”

In the car.

“What international contest were you talking about? What’s going on?” asked Huo Tingrui as he adjusted his spectacles and looked quizzically at his younger sister, who was in the front passenger seat.

Huo Yao leaned lazily against the window pane. She gazed at him with her bright eyes and replied. “The top five finalists of the National Quiz Contest will represent the country at the international level.”

Huo Tingrui fell into a deep silence after he heard her.

Was his baby sister so brilliant that she could make it to the international level?

Huo Tingrui looked at her with a complicated expression. He composed himself and asked her in a quiet voice. “Are you that confident?”

Huo Yao tilted her head and said, “Is it that hard? Isn’t it just some quiz?”

Her answer was simply... too asphyxiating.

Huo Tingrui choked on his words. He felt his intelligence was being severely overshadowed.

Moments later, he awkwardly said, “Good luck! Let me have a feel of the trophy when you win.”

Huo Yao pursed her lips and said gently, “Mhm.”

A thought crossed Huo Tingrui’s mind, so he added. “Oh yes! I went and checked your quiz results today. You stood first! Tell me, what do you feel like having for dinner. It’s on me. We should definitely celebrate tonight!”

Huo Yao shook her head. Just as she was about to turn Huo Tingrui down, his phone rang, so she shut her mouth.

Since the phone was connected to the car’s bluetooth, Huo Tingrui glanced at the caller ID before quickly pressing the hands-free button on the steering wheel to answer it. “Hello, Brother Yanxi! What’s up?”

Huo Yao could hear Huo Yanxi’s voice since the speaker mode was on.

“I heard you’re back from your business trip. Where are you now? Want to grab a few drinks?” asked Huo Yanxi in a mild tone.

Huo Tingrui lowered his head and checked the traffic on both sides of the road before he replied. “I’m out with our baby sister, and we’re trying to choose a place for dinner. Want to join us?”

“Are you with Xiaxia?” Huo Yanxi asked almost instinctively.

Huo Tingrui frowned. Had Huo Yanxi forgotten that Lu Xia was not their biological sister?

All this while, Huo Yao had her gaze fixed on the outside scenery. She gave no reaction to Huo Yanxi’s words.

Huo Tingrui paused for a moment and said, “No.”

Then Huo Tingrui raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Yao before adding in a deep tone. “I’m with Yaoyao.”
