Song Ning coughed dryly when her daughter saw through her. "Nothing much. I just wanted to know what kind of friend you are going out with tonight. Is it your classmate?"
So this was what she was asking about.
Huo Yao shook her head. "No."
"Is it a guy or a girl?" asked Song Ning cautiously.
Huo Yao looked at Song Ning with clear eyes. Her voice was calm as she replied patiently. "It's a guy. He used to live next door. I helped him out before and happened to bump into him today, so he treated me to dinner."
Song Ning looked into her daughter's honest eyes and suddenly felt a little ashamed. She felt ashamed of the dirty thoughts in her mind.
Song Ning touched her nose uneasily. She did not probe further and said gently, "I see. Don't mind me. I'm just worried that it's not safe for you to be out late at night."
Although Huo Yao did not know what Song Ning was trying to say, she could roughly guess it. She paused for a moment before she replied obediently. "I know."
Song Ning felt ashamed again when she heard her daughter's obedient voice. She hurriedly said, "You must be tired after a long day of classes. Hurry up and go to bed."
"Oh yes. I heated up some milk for you. Remember to drink it when you go upstairs."
Song Ning hurried into the kitchen to take out the milk from the thermos and handed it to Huo Yao.
"Okay. Thanks, Mom."
Before long, Huo Yao went upstairs with the milk. Song Ning only heaved a heavy sigh of relief after she disappeared at the top of the stairs.
She walked back to the living room and sat down next to her husband. She said in a self-reproachful tone, "I'm not a good mother. How could I suspect my daughter's character?"
Huo Jinyan patted the back of his wife's hand. "I told you to trust your daughter more. Don't overthink things."
Song Ning glared at him angrily. "I was misled by Boss! He called me today and asked me to pay attention to Yaoyao's friends, so I... Forget it. I'm going to call Boss and ask him why he has such a bad opinion of his little sister! "
Huo Jinyan shook his head helplessly when he saw how furious his wife was. He stopped her before she could make the call.
"Yan Xi and Yaoyao don't have a good relationship to begin with. Are you trying to deepen the misunderstanding between them by calling them to question them?"
Song Ning held the phone in her hand and stopped making calls. She threw the phone aside and said with a headache, "This is so hard to deal with."
"I don't think it's a big problem. Yaoyao just came back a few days ago, and they don't know each other very well. Let's take it slow."
Compared to Song Ning, Huo Jinyan was much calmer.
Song Ning sighed again. She leaned against the sofa for some time before a thought crossed her mind. She suddenly sat up straight and said, "I almost forgot. Xiaxia and Boss are close. I can ask her to play the matchmaker."
Huo Jinyan looked at her from the corner of his eye and said disapprovingly, "Have you forgotten that Boss and Yaoyao had a misunderstanding because of Xiaxia?" Huo Jinyan didn't agree with Huo Yao.
"Of course I didn't forget. What I meant was that Xiaxia is a gentle girl and happens to be studying at No.1 Middle School. If she can interact with Yaoyao more, won't their relationship be better?"
