Huo Yao tapped a finger on her leg in a desultory kind of way.
She was not in the mood to continue the conversation and shifted her focus outside the car’s window.

Not long afterwards, they drove into a neighborhood that seemed to have seen better days.
The environment here was not great.

Because this was an old neighborhood, the buildings were not very tall.
Huo Family’s house was on the top floor, a duplex apartment.

Mr.
and Mrs.
Huo were waiting by the door.
When they heard the elevator’s sound, the two of them looked at each other nervously and then shifted their eyes towards the elevator.

Soon, Huo Yanxi and Lu Xia came out with Huo Yao trailing behind them.

“Dad, mom, we picked up Yaoyao.” Lu Xia smiled brightly and addressed them in a pleasant voice.

“Well…” Song Ning, who was Mrs.
Huo merely glanced at Lu Xia before turning her entire focus to Huo Yao who was standing behind her.
Song Ning had to pause before she summoned enough courage to go to Huo Yao.
She was feeling excited and fearful, all at once.

Lu Xia sensed she had been ignored in this instance and her smiling face turned stiff for a second.

Huo Family was not rich but since she was the youngest in the family, her foster parents had always treated her well.
But now that love was about to be taken away by Huo Yao.

Lu Xia did not care for their pampering but still, their behavior made her feel upset.
She tried hard to conceal that frustration.

Then, Song Ning cast a look at Lu Xia.
Mixed feelings began to surge in Song Ning’s heart.
