The professor followed Huo Mian to a quiet corner.
“What is it, Mian?”
“Dad, do you trust ?”
“What are you talking about, child...”
“Dad, just tell . Do you trust ?”
“Of course, I trust you. Mian, even though you were not by my side when you grew up and didn’t spend as much ti with as Yan, you’re both my daughters. My love for you is the sa. Don’t doubt that.”
“I don’t doubt it. Dad, I just want to... confirm sothing with you.”
“What is it?”
After a long silence, Huo Mian asked in a low voice, “Dad, do you know... where Red Demon is?”
Hearing the ntion of Red Demon, the professor’s expression changed drastically.
“Mian, who told you that?”
“Qin Chu and I have been wanting to get it...”
Huo Mian had to lie to him since she couldn’t expose Lin Ya.
“Tell how you and Chu know about Red Demon.”
“We... Dad, don’t ask that. If you trust , please tell where the Red Demon is...”
“Mian, why do you want Red Demon?” The professor demanded solemnly.
“I... I have my purpose for it.”
“Did soone blackmail you?”
“No.”
“Mian, you still don’t want to tell the truth...?” The professor was piqued.
Huo Mian’s eyes were evasive, which showed that she was hiding sothing.
But she just wouldn’t tell him what was wrong.
In this world, only a few people knew about Red Demon.
Lu Yan knew it but had never ntioned it. Why did Mian bring it up?
“Dad, please don’t ask. If you trust , please tell ...”
“Mian, I trust you. But I can’t tell you about Red Demon... I don’t want you or Yan to get involved in it. Truly, I don’t want you to have anything to do with it.”
“Dad...”
“You must be exhausted after all the excitent tonight. Go and get so rest.”
The professor stopped her from saying more about it.
Seeing how Lin Ya wanted the thing and how her dad refused to talk about it, Huo Mian knew Red Demon must be a very mysterious and important thing.
Discouraged, Huo Mian walked back, looking tired.
“ssiah, take Mian back to her room. She’s pregnant and tired.”
“Yes, Master.”
Seeing Huo Mian failed, Lin Ya didn’t want to waste ti on it.
“Mom, where’s my sister’s room? I want to sleep in her room, too.”
Lu Yan was still in euphoria from being with her family.
“Your sister is pregnant and gets tired easily. She needs to get rest, but you and your dad can stay and chat with over fruits and flower tea.”
“Haha. Great. I love tea.”
Lu Yan agreed to Lin Ya’s suggestion.
Glancing at Lu Yan and their dad with complicated feelings inside, Huo Mian followed ssiah out.
When they were out of the room, Huo Mian dumped her disguise and showed her sulky face.
“Miss Mian...” ssiah was about to say sothing.
“ssiah, tell your master that I asked but my dad refused to tell . I can’t do anything about it.”
“Okay. I’ll tell the Master.”
“ssiah...”
“Yeah?”
“Do you know what Red Demon is?” Huo Mian wondered what this mysterious thing was. Maybe ssiah, Lin Ya’s trusted servant, knew sothing about it.
