Huo Yanxi was in a bad mood because of Huo Yao, so he was distracted when he chatted with Lu Xia.
After dinner, Huo Yanxi drove Lu Xia home.
Lu Xia unbuckled her seatbelt at the entrance and asked him. "Brother Yanxi, do you want to come in? My dad has asked me to invite you over a few times. "
Huo Yanxi placed his hands on the steering wheel and glanced at the Lu family's villa calmly. He shook his head and said, "No thanks. It's too late. Maybe another day."
A look of disappointment flashed across Lu Xia's eyes, but she maintained her ladylike smile and said, "Okay then. Drive carefully. I'm going home now."
Lu Xia paused and seemed to recall something. She winked at him playfully and said, "Oh yes. Don't forget our promise tomorrow."
Huo Yanxi was stunned.
"You promised me that you would send me to school on the first day of school. Have you forgotten?" Lu Xia pretended to be sad and pressed her hand against her chest.
Huo Yanxi composed himself and shook his head with a smile. "No, I haven't."
Lu Xia smiled and said, "Good. Go home now. I'm going to get out of the car. See you tomorrow!"
Huo Yanxi acknowledged her gently. Just as Lu Xia was about to get out of the car, he suddenly thought of Huo Yao and instinctively called out to her. "Xiaxia."
Lu Xia turned around and looked at him quizzically. "Huh?"
The girl's eyes were clear and her pretty face was gentle. She looked obedient and sensible.
Huo Yanxi looked at her and suddenly pursed his lips into a smile. He shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just forgot to ask you what time you will report to school tomorrow."
Lu Xia suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and said jokingly, "Brother Yanxi, you almost scared me. I thought you were going to go back on your word and not send me to school tomorrow."
Huo Yanxi's eyes flickered and he denied it. "No."
"Fine. See you at 8: 00 tomorrow." Lu Xia ended the topic appropriately.
Huo Yanxi grunted in acknowledgment.
Lu Xia waved at him before she got out of the car and walked into the villa.
Huo Yanxi's eyes followed Lu Xia's silhouette for a long time before he finally looked away.
Since his biological sister didn't need him to send her off, there was no need for him to reject Xiaxia just because of her feelings. After all, Xiaxia was also his sister.
With that thought in mind, the remaining trace of guilt in Huo Yanxi's heart dissipated.
Soon, he started the car engine, turned around, and left the Lu family.

The moment Lu Xia entered the living room, Mama Lu, He Xiaoman, raised her head and looked at her. "It's so late. Who asked you out?"
Her voice was gentle, and she didn't seem to be questioning him.
Lu Xia walked over unhurriedly and reached out to massage He Xiaoman's shoulders. "My brother wants to talk to me about something."
"Big Brother?" He Xiaoman frowned when she heard the name. "Is it your adoptive mother's family again?"
Lu Xia knew that He Xiaoman looked down on the Huo family, so she just acknowledged her.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from the Huo family?" He Xiaoman said earnestly. "I know you have a kind heart, but your adoptive mother's family isn't easy to deal with, especially your fake brothers. The closer you get to them, the more they will try to take advantage of you."
