Chapter 155: Feels Like You’re Hiding Something From MeChapter 155: Feels Like You’re Hiding Something From Me
Huo Jinyan walked out of the kitchen with some water. His mood seemed to instantly lift when he heard the news. He said, “After all, he’s a man. He needs to focus on his career.”
Huo Tingrui had been coming home early every night, fighting with Huo Jinyan for Huo Yao’s attention, so his father found him an eyesore.
Song Ning glanced at her husband. Of course, she knew what he was driving at. She said in a complicated tone, “Are you happy now?”
Huo Jinyan beamed brightly and drank the water. Although they had eaten dinner, he still sat at the dining table and quietly watched his daughter eat.
Even though Huo Yao was accustomed to her father’s stares, she could not help raising her head to ask. “Dad?”
Huo Jinyan pushed the dishes on the dining table closer to her and said, “Eat up. You’ve been studying so hard that you have lost weight.”

Song Ning spotted slight objection in her daughter’s eyes and could not help laughing out loud. “Haha. Enough. If you keep doing that, she’s going to protest.”
Huo Jinyan cast a doubtful look at his wife and said, “Protest? About what?”
He looked at Huo Yao quizzically. His daughter was clearly obedient.
Song Ning shook her head. She turned to massage her sore shoulders and said, “Stop disturbing her while she’s eating. Come over and rub my shoulders.”
“Sure.”
Huo Jinyan stood up and walked over to the living room with his wife, where he massaged her shoulders deftly.
Huo Yao tilted her head and looked at the husband and wife. A gentle look emanated from her father’s eyes while her mother enjoyed the massage. The scene was so warm and harmonious that she could see pink bubbles floating in the air.
Huo Yao quietly veered her eyes away from the unexpected public display of affection.
Huo Yao cleaned up the kitchen after dinner. When she came out, she noticed that Song Ning was not there.
Huo Jinyan had already taken out his Chinese tea set and was brewing the tea which Huo Yao gave him two days ago. When he spotted her, he waved and said, “Come over and have some with me.”
Huo Yao compressed her lips. He made it sound as though he wanted to drink wine with his daughter.
“What have you been working on lately?” asked Huo Yao casually as she sat on the couch and reached for the tea.
Huo Jinyan and Song Ning had decided to surprise their daughter, so he could only make a lame excuse. “The company recently landed a new project, so everyone has to work overtime.”

She raised her brows with a look of disbelief and said, “Why do I feel as though you are hiding something from me?”
Huo Jinyan’s hand trembled while holding the teacup and he almost blew his cover. He coughed awkwardly and looked at her with solemn eyes. “It’s true. What can we be hiding from you?”
Huo Yao said with a profound look, “Okay.”
Their daughter was too intelligent. Huo Yao made Huo Jinyan feel as though all his years of experience were useless against her. He hurriedly averted his eyes and quietly drank tea.
Huo Yao shook her head and stopped probing.
Her phone beeped in her pocket. She put the teacup down and retrieved the phone. Since it was a text from Min Yu, she quickly tapped it open and read it.
[Your incense worked well. Thanks.]
Huo Yao raised her brow. She leaned lazily against the couch and replied: [Of course. It’s a very expensive incense!]
Min Yu had just opened the link which Huo Yao sent him previously for buying nerve-soothing incense. Price: $299.
