Chapter 193: Tell Your Fourth Older Brother To Make Himself Scarce!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Yao saw Huo Xiang still standing at the same spot when she came back downstairs. His befuddled features looked adorable. He was clearly way cuter than her refined second older brother.

Huo Xiang noticed his little sister staring at him. She veered her eyes away when he turned to look at her, but he caught the look of satisfaction on her face.

Satisfaction?!?

Huo Xiang blinked. An odd sensation rose in his heart.

Huo Yao failed to notice his expression. She headed to the kitchen to open the fridge. Since the maid did not come and Huo Xiang did not look like he could cook, the responsibility for cooking dinner had landed on her.

Suddenly her phone rang from her pocket.

Huo Yao pulled the phone out while removing ingredients from the fridge with the other hand. She answered the phone and placed it on handsfree when she realized it was their father. She said, “Dad.”

“Yao, are you home yet?” came Huo Jinyan’s cheerful voice.

“Yes, I just got home,” said Huo Yao.

She shut the fridge and asked him. “Are you and Mom going to be back for dinner?”

“No, we won’t. We have a dinner gathering and will be home late. Also, I gave the maid a day off, but don’t worry about dinner. I already ordered food for you, and it should be there soon. Just remember to answer the door and collect it.”

Huo Xiang had just poured himself a glass of water. He froze when he heard his father’s words.

His father’s words about giving the maid a day off started ringing in his head.

Huo Yao held her phone and said, “Mhm, okay.”

She began putting the ingredients back into the fridge.

“I have to go. Be careful,” said Huo Jinyan.

Then he paused and added after a few seconds. “Don’t answer the door no matter who it is, okay? It’s not safe at night.”

A puzzled look emerged on Huo Yao’s face. Her old man was behaving a little abnormally. He did not talk like this usually.

She turned sideways at Huo Xiang standing in the kitchen and replied obediently. “Don’t worry. Brother Xiang is here.”

Just as Huo Jinyan was about to hang up, his face turned green. His tone was filled with loathing when he said, “Why is he still there?”

Huo Xiang thought that he was mistaken earlier in the afternoon, but now it was amply clear that his father disliked him.

But why?

Huo Xiang held the water glass in his hand and felt a little depressed.

Huo Yao slanted her head to look at her fourth older brother, who was clearly in a daze. She touched her chin and said in a quiet voice, “Dad, you’re on handsfree.”

Huo Jinyan was about to tell Huo Yao to have Huo Xiang make himself scarce, but he swallowed his words, “!!!”

The phone went quiet.

Soon, Huo Jinyan’s anxious voice came through. “Oh, I have to go. Your mother and I are headed for dinner.”

Saying so, he swiftly hung up.

Huo Yao did not feel the least bit guilty for her dark humor. She placed her phone back in her pocket and walked out the kitchen. She looked at Huo Xiang as though nothing major had happened. “Dad has ordered food for us. We don’t have to cook tonight.”

Huo Xiang looked back at his little sister with a complicated expression. After a long time, he smiled forcibly and said, “O-okay.”

Huo Yao pursed her lips and smiled. Why was her older brother so adorable?
