397: Left Something Behind

Left Something Behind

Huo Xiang pulled out his phone. He was surprised to see it was Huo Yulin calling and swiftly answered it. 2

"Brother Yulin, why the sudden call?" asked Huo Xiang quizzically.

Huo Yanxi raised his head and looked at Huo Xiang.

Huo Yulin sat in front of his computer with his phone in hand as he looked at the news appearing on his screen and said, "I just saw what happened online."

Huo Xiang instantly realized the reason for his call. "It's over, so don't worry."

"You have to be more careful from now on," said Huo Yulin calmly. Despite how pale his face was, he looked a lot healthier.

"Yeah. I know," acknowledged Huo Xiang softly.

A thought struck Huo Yulin's mind. He stood up from his seat and opened the balcony doors to step out before he asked him. "Oh yes. How's your condition? Did you go for further checkups? Are you recovering well?"

Since Huo Xiang had not told Huo Yanxi about his injuries, he only replied ambiguously. "I'm much better now."

Huo Yulin did not put much thought into Huo Xiang's words. "Even though you are better, you shouldn't overexert yourself physically."

Huo Xiang touched his nose and said, "Brother Yulin, I mean I have recovered completely."

Huo Yulin's hand froz. "What do you mean?"

Huo Xiang stood up and walked up to the window in the room before he replied softly. "Yao gave me some meds. I made a miraculous recovery after taking them."

"Yao's meds?" Huo Yulin felt even more puzzled.

"Uh huh. It's a long story for another time. I'm out having dinner with Brother Yanxi. Do you want to talk to him?" said Huo Xiang as he glanced behind.

"I'll pass. Go back to your dinner. Help me say hello to Brother Yanxi," answered Huo Yulin calmly.

Huo Xiang shrugged and replied. "I will."

"Talk again soon," said Huo Yulin before hanging up the phone.

Huo Xiang put his phone away and went back to sit down at the table. "It was Brother Yulin. He said hi."

Huo Yanxi's throat felt even dryer. He nodded distractedly before picking up his chopsticks and lowering his head to eat.

The two of them finished dinner quietly without chatting much and left the room after footing the bill.

After leaving the restaurant entrance, Huo Xiang retrieved his car keys and turned to look at Huo Yanxi. "Brother Yanxi, see you around."

Huo Yanxi nodded and said, "Drive safe."

"Sure thing," Huo Xiang waved at him. Just as he was about to head to the car park, a waitress came running out.

"Sir, you left something behind."

Huo Xiang paused and turned to look at the waitress to see an exquisite box in her hands.

Huo Xiang instinctively turned to look at his oldest brother.

Huo Yanxi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the box before veering his eyes to reply calmly. "You're mistaken. That doesn't belong to us."

Huo Yanxi did not even look at the waitress as he said to Huo Xian, "Let's go."

Then he strode briskly towards the parking lot.

"Erm… but this must be yours…"

The waitress scratched her head. After all, they had cleaned up the private room before they came, so she was certain there were no packages in there earlier.
