Huo Jinyan turned to look at his daughter, who was in deep thought. He could not help asking her. “Yao?”
“Huh?” Huo Yao raised her head.
She continued, “Mom’s right. Stop letting stupid people into the house.”
Four faces emerged in Huo Jinyan’s head automatically.
Before long, Huo Xiang arrived home. The moment he walked into the living room, he caught his father giving him strange looks.
Huo Xiang touched his nose and looked around. “Isn’t Brother Tingrui back yet?”
“Not yet.’ Huo Jinyan turned away impatiently before walking up to his daughter to sit down next to her. “I used the incense in the cupboard last night and slept really well.”
Huo Yao put her phone down. “Uh huh. You can use it when you have trouble sleeping.”

Huo Yao looked up at him. “I made it.”
Huo Jinyan wanted to give his insomniac friend a couple of boxes for his impending birthday but closed his mouth when he heard what his daughter said.
Huo Yao noticed the hesitant look on her father’s face. “What is it?”
“My girl is an outstanding all-rounder,” replied Huo Jinyan as he beamed.
Huo Xiang had just come back from the fridge with a bottle of water when he heard his father complimenting his sister like a fanboy.
“...”
Did he have to do this nonstop? Did he have to keep hurting his son?
Huo Tingrui came home before long and Huo Yanxi came back with him as well.
Huo Yao was playing with her phone, so she only noticed him a while later and raised her head to greet him.
Although her voice was cold, it did not sound awkward. Instead, she was distant and courteous.
After greeting him, she lowered her head once more. She was tapping her phone screen and looked like she was chatting with someone.
Huo Yanxi looked at her. He wanted to sit down beside her but changed his mind since it appeared like she did not want to be disturbed.
The atmosphere at the dining table remained awkward.
Huo Yao kept checking her phone from time to time while she ate. She kept sending texts and seemed to be busy.
Huo Xiang leaned over and glanced at her phone as he sat beside her. He did not manage to see the contents of her texts. Instead, he saw the name of the contact.
An unknown caller?
“Yao, who are you chatting with?” asked Huo Xiang with a frown.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“An online friend,” replied Huo Yao vaguely as she chewed her food.
Although her voice was not loud, everyone at the table heard she was chatting with an online friend.
Huo Yanxi raised her head and glanced at her.
“An online friend?” Huo Xiang put down his chopsticks.
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao failed to notice everyone’s expression and only casually explained. “He sells stuff.”
“Is he a scammer?” asked Huo Xiang worriedly.
After all, most online transactions did not require texting. Although his little sister was smart, he had to remind her.
Huo Yao raised her head and glanced at him before replying two seconds later. “Nope.”
“That’s good. There are a lot of highly skilled scammers on online platforms, so you have to watch out,” said Huo Xiang seriously.
Huo Yao’s lips twitched before acknowledging him patronizingly.
Huo Xiang would probably be beaten to death if her friend heard this.
Huo Yao turned her head to look at Song Ning. “Mom, someone will come over in a couple of days to install the system. Can you let them in?”
