298: Angered

Angered

Ying Bao even saw Huo Sanyan as her enemy, and there was no way that she was going to treat her enemies as friends.2

Yet, Huo Sanyan was deeply interested in the little girl, as she was curious about her identity.

"Come, let me see you clearly," Huo Sanyan said as she opened her arms and tried to hug Ying Bao.

"No!" Ying Bao said, taking a few steps back. "You're a bad guy!"

Ying Bao turned and ran away.

"Who's out there?" Huo Yunshen suddenly shouted. "Who are you talking to?"

The little girl was already in the wind as Huo Sanyan still looked out at the hallway wondering if she was an illusion or not.

"There's a kid who knocked on the door," Huo Sanyan replied. "I think she got the wrong house."

"What did the kid look like?" Huo Yunshen asked as he wheeled himself into the living room.

"About as tall as a chair," Huo Sanyan described. "She was wearing a red shirt, and her face was round and plump. Oh! She has dimples like yours too!"

Huo Yunshen instantly thought of Ying Bao after listening to his sister's description.

She must've left after she couldn't find me.

Huo Yunshen quickly rushed past Huo Sanyan and opened the door, but the little girl was already long gone.

"Why didn't you ask her to stay?" Huo Yunshen asked angrily.

"I did!" Huo Sanyan protested. "But she called me a bad guy and left."

"You must've scared her!" Huo Yunshen scolded. He was really angry. Huo Sanyan had seriously interrupted his life.

He couldn't help but worry how depressing it was for the little girl to come to his house happily only to leave in disappointment.

"I didn't!" Huo Sanyan said, acting innocent.

"Yeah, right!" Huo Yunshen said. "Your face could even scare away ghosts! Please don't come to my house anymore."

Huo Yunshen was furious. Huo Sanyan had barged into his home begging him to teach her cook. And yet after hours of teaching and cooking, Huo Sanyan hadn't even learned anything other than how to fill her stomach.

She couldn't even open the door for a little kid properly!

"Come on, little brother, you'll hurt my heart if you say it like that," Huo Sanyan said with a smile on her face. "But that little girl has the same dimples as you. I wouldn't even think twice if you told me that she was your daughter."

"…" Huo Yunshen did not reply to her.

"Come on, spit it out, is she your illegitimate daughter or something?" Huo Sanyan asked.

"Enough!" Huo Yunshen shouted. "So what if we have the same dimples? Does that make her my daughter? Do you know how many people with dimples are out there? Are they related to me too? Can you think before you speak?"

Huo Yunshen was breathing heavily, and his eyes were red after scolding his sister.

Huo Sanyan was intimidated by her brother. She'd never thought that her easy-going brother would ever get that angry.

I was just joking… Man, that's scary, I better leave!
