While Huo Yao was deep in thought, the butler came back from a call. He glanced at Huo Jingfeng before walking up to him and whispering something in his ear.
Huo Jingfeng frowned and said calmly, "I don't want to see him."
"Okay." The butler nodded as though he had expected it. "I'll turn him down now."
Huo Jingfeng waved his hand.
Huo Yao looked at the butler walking away and said obediently, "Uncle, you can go ahead if you have something to do."
"No, I'm not busy." Huo Jingfeng smiled.
Even if he was busy, it was not as much as spending time with his niece.
"Uh huh." Huo Yao gently caressed the gift box in her arms. A servant came over with a glass of water. She took it and thanked the servant politely.
Just as she took a sip, her phone rang in her pocket.
It was a WeChat message.
However, Huo Yao did not take it out since it was rude to look at her phone in front of the elders.
She only took it out when her WeChat call suddenly rang again ten minutes later.
A look of surprise flashed across Huo Yao's eyes when she saw it was a WeChat friend.
It seemed unexpected yet expected at the same time.
"Uncle, let me take this." Huo Yao stood up with her phone in her hand.
"Uh huh," replied Huo Jingfeng softly.
Huo Yao nodded and walked out of the hall. She only took out her phone when she reached the corridor in the little garden.
Huo Jingfeng had already hung up, so she called him back.
Before long, the other party picked up.
"Auntie Tong, are you looking for me?" asked Huo Yao as her eyes landed on the garden.
Shangguan Tong's breathing was rather light. After she heard Huo Yao's voice, she paused for a while before she said, "Yu, where are you now?"
Huo Yao raised her brow. She turned to look at the hall through the glass door and said, "I'm attending a school exchange in State M."
"No wonder the picture you posted on WeChat doesn't look like a local architectural style." Shangguan Tong's throat was a little dry. Her fingers were so tense that she did not even realize it.
Huo Yao nodded. "Uh huh. Auntie Tong, you have a good eye. You recognized it right away."
Shangguan Tong's eyes were filled with bitterness. How could she not recognize it?
How could he not recognize it?
This place was the only thing that kept her going all these years, even though she knew that she would never be able to appear there again in this lifetime …
"Auntie Tong, you didn't call me just to ask me about the picture I posted on WeChat moments, right?" asked Huo Yao in a slightly puzzled tone. She did not seem to know what was going on.
Shangguan Tong knew that Ah Yu had always been a sharp child. He took a deep breath and replied, "I'm just curious about this place in your photo."
Huo Yao raised her brow. She knew that the chief would not be able to resist asking. She cleared her throat and sighed. "To be honest, Auntie Tong, this is where my uncle lives."
When Shangguan Tong heard this, he was stunned. Then, he subconsciously raised his voice, "What did you say?"
Twenty minutes ago, when she saw the picture Ah Yu posted on her WeChat Moments, she had been wondering why Ah Yu would post a picture of this place.
She couldn't help but wonder if the child had already found out about her secret, which was why she had taken this photo and posted it on her Moments to attract her attention.
