Huo Yanxi’s mind was in chaos because of Huo Yao’s matter and his attention kept wandering even while he chatted with Lu Xia.
After they finished their al, Huo Yanxi drove Lu Xia ho.
At the gate of the family villa, Lu Xia unbuckled the seat belt and asked him. “Do you want to co in for a bit? My dad has asked several tis to invite you over.”
Huo Yanxi rested his hands on the steering wheel. He cast a glance at the Lu Family’s villa and shook his head. “No, thank you. It is late for to go in tonight. Can I take a rain check?”
Lu Xia was disappointed, but she hid that in the depth of her eyes. Maintaining her signature smile on her face, she said easily, “Of course. Drive safely. Goodbye.”
She stopped for a second and pretended that she had just rembered sothing right now. She winked at Huo Yanxi, and said in a pouting tone, “Don’t forget what you promised in the past.”
Huo Yanxi was confused for a mont.
“You told that you would drive to school when the sester begins. Did you forget it already?” Lu Xia put her hands over her chest to show that she was hurting.
Huo Yanxi understood her aning and broke into laughter, while shaking his head. “No, I have not forgotten about that.”
Lu Xia’s smile ca back. “Good. Now, go ho. See you tomorrow!”
Lu Xia pushed the door open and was about to get off. Suddenly, Huo Yao’s figure leapt into Huo Yanxi’s mind again. Almost subconsciously, he stopped Lu Xia. “Xiaxia.”
Lu Xia turned around and gazed at him, a bit of worry visible in her eyes. “Yes?”
This girl had beautiful eyes, and her delicate face was breathtaking. She was a cute and thoughtful young lady.
Huo Yanxi stared at her. All of a sudden, he smiled and shook his head. “Nothing. I just forgot the ti that I should pick you up at.”
Lu Xia heaved a long sigh and replied jokingly. “You scared . I almost thought you were going to go back on your word and say that you wouldn’t drive tomorrow.”
Huo Yanxi denied it in a flat voice. “Nope.”
“Okay. Pick up at eight.” Lu Xia knew that this was the right ti to end the conversation.
Huo Yanxi nodded.
Then, Lu Xia waved him goodbye, and stepped into the villa. Huo Yanxi kept gazing at the gate long after she had gone inside.
Since his biological sister did not need a ride from him, he didn’t have to turn down Xiaxia for her sake. After all, Xiaxia was his sister as well.
With this thought, the remaining part of his guilt vanished.
Soon, he started the car and drove away from the Lu Family villa.

When Lu Xia went inside, her mom, He Xiaoman was sitting on the sofa in the living room. “It is so late. Did so friends ask you out?” She asked Lu Xia with warmth in her voice.
Her voice was gentle and in no way, was she blaming Lu Xia.
Lu Xia went close to her and began to rub He Xiaoman’s shoulder. “My big brother wanted to ask for sothing.”
“Big brother?” Upon hearing these words, He Xiaoman frowned.
“Is it your foster family again?”
Lu Xia knew that He Xiaoman had always been holding the Huo Family in contempt, so she rely said, “hmm”.
He Xiaoman turned around to speak to her daughter in a sincere and earnest manner, “Didn’t I tell you not to see the Huo Family so often? I know that you are a kind girl. But your foster family is not good, especially your fake brothers. Don’t get so attached to them. They may take advantage of you, soday.”
Lu Xia lowered her eyes.
In her heart, she sneered. “You think that because you are prejudiced and shortsighted. You have no idea what they are capable of.”
