Chapter 1635 - 1635 Cannot Lose Face

1635 Cannot Lose Face

Huo Yao walked out of the lift just as Xie was about to ask her what she meant.

Xie scratched his head. He could only suppress his doubt and quickly followed behind her.

After showing her to the reception, he stood guard outside the door.

…

“Hi, Uncle Changfeng,” greeted Huo Yao. She sat down obediently across from him with her back straight.

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Changfeng, looking genial. “Did your teacher say anything about you coming here?”

“Nope.” Huo Yao smiled. After exchanging a few words, she pretended not to know anything and asked. “Uncle Changfeng, what are you doing here?”

“Here for some minor business.” When Huo Changfeng mentioned it was work, those words simply rolled off his tongue naturally. It sounded as though he was genuinely here for work and had nothing to do with the laboratory attack.

Huo Yao touched her nose quietly.

When it came to the art of talking, she always thought she was the king. From the looks of it now, Uncle Changfeng was far better than her.

She had to concede defeat!

“Oh yes. I haven’t asked yet. When are you going home?” Huo Changfeng changed the subject.

“We have tickets for the day after.” Huo Yao paused and added. “We have one free day tomorrow. I haven’t met my eldest uncle yet. I wonder if he’s free. It’s the perfect opportunity for me to see him now.”

Huo Changfeng looked at her in astonishment. “Just a minute. Haven’t you seen Master Jinfeng yet? Didn’t he go see you a couple of days ago? Didn’t he tell you he was your eldest uncle?”

Huo Yao was stunned. “Did he come to find me a couple of days ago? I didn’t see him.”

Huo Yao paused mid-sentence. She suddenly recalled Min Yu mentioning a visitor. However, the visitor left before she got to see him.

Was it her uncle?

Uncle Changfeng’s voice could be heard.

“That doesn’t make sense. I talked to Master Jinfeng on the phone last night. He mentioned seeing you already,” said Huo Changfeng automatically.

Then again, considering Master Jinfeng’s character… Huo Changfeng could not help looking at Miss Huo who was at a loss. Judging from Master Jinfeng’s awkward temperament, it was probably true that he had yet to see her.

No wonder Master Jinfeng was unable to talk straight when he brought up Miss Huo.

From the looks of it, he was desperately trying to save face.

After thinking about it, Huo Changfeng cleared his throat and quickly corrected himself. “Then again, the signal wasn’t very good last night. I might have made a mistake.”

Never mind. Master Jinfeng was the boss, so it was only right for him to save Master Jinfeng from embarrassment.

Huo Yao noticed Huo Changfeng trying to cover up for Huo Jinfeng, but it only made things more obvious. Her lips twitched slightly. She cleared her throat without exposing him. “In that case, I’ll text him later and find out if he’s free to meet me.”

“Don’t worry. I’m sure he can make it,” replied Huo Changfeng on behalf of his boss.

If it were Miss Huo’s older brothers, he might think twice and say he was not free.

Huo Yao nodded. She asked Huo Changfeng about her uncle’s habits and preferences. Huo Changfeng told her everything without holding back the slightest.

“Oh yes. Uncle Changfeng, why isn’t he married?” Huo Yao recalled her brothers mentioning he was not married. Since they were on the subject of Huo Jinfeng, she decided to bring up the question.

The moment he heard the question, the relaxed expression on Huo Changfeng’s face disappeared and he promptly looked serious.
