After about half an hour, Lu Xia noticed that Huo Yanxi was still busy. She stood up and walked to his desk. "Brother Yanxi, I'm going home now. You can go back to work."
Huo Yanxi's hand paused. He put down his pen and looked at Lu Xia apologetically. "I'm a little busy today. Why don't you wait for me for a little longer? Let's go for dinner after I'm done."
Lu Xia's eyes flickered. She smiled and shook her head. She said considerately, "It's fine. Work is more important. You can have dinner another day. I'm off."
Without waiting for Huo Yanxi to say anything else, she turned around and walked to the door. She looked a little lonely from behind.
Huo Yanxi watched her disappear from the door. He leaned heavily against his chair and pressed his forehead. After a long moment of silence, he raised his head and reached for his phone.

Huo Tingrui had just finished his work when he saw two missed calls from Lu Xia. He swiped his finger across the screen as though he was contemplating whether he should call her back.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting his thoughts. Seeing that it was his elder brother calling, he did not hesitate to press the answer button.
"Hello, Brother Yanxi. What's up?"
Huo Yanxi had thought that Huo Tingrui might be busy and might not pick up the call so quickly, so he was stunned when he picked up the call. He then said, "Nothing much. Xiaxia just came to see me. She asked when we should have dinner together."
Huo Tingrui's expression suddenly turned cold when he heard the missed calls. "I'm afraid we can't have dinner together. I've been quite busy lately."
Huo Yanxi went quiet for two seconds before he asked. "Tingrui, do you have some misunderstanding about Xiaxia?"
Huo Tingrui was stunned. "Misunderstanding? I don't understand what you mean. "
"I did misunderstand Yao because of what happened with Old Madam Yang. Yaoyao and Xiaxia might have misunderstood each other..."
Huo Tingrui did not need to continue listening to Huo Yanxi's question. He immediately understood what his older brother meant. He could not help interrupting him. "Xiaxia called me twice about half an hour ago. I was in court, so my assistant kept my phone."
Huo Tingrui paused before he said in a deep voice, "Moreover, Huo Yao has never mentioned Xiaxia to me, so there's no misunderstanding."
In the past, he thought that his foster sister was just arrogant and didn't have any bad intentions. However, from what he saw today, he had a whole new level of respect for her.
Huo Tingrui shook his head. He did not want Lu Xia to push the boundaries between them further, so he said, "Brother, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. The client is waiting for me."
Huo Yanxi could tell that Huo Tingrui was getting impatient, but he did not say anything more. "It's fine. You can go back to work."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yanxi sat there for a long time without moving. The expression on his face was unreadable, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After Lu Xia went downstairs, she hailed a taxi and went back to the Lu family's villa.
She heard He Xiaoman's harsh voice the moment she entered the villa. "What did you do after school this afternoon? The driver just called. He said he waited at the school gate for a long time, but you were nowhere to be seen. He couldn't get through to you either. "
