Chapter 1247: Hard To Hide Things From Huo Yao

Huo Yulin scrutinized her briefly. Although he was puzzled by her behavior, he was in a hurry to go out, so he did not have time to ask.

Before long, the door could be heard closing behind him.

Huo Yao veered her eyes and walked back into the villa slowly.

Since the maid was already in the kitchen preparing food, Huo Yao did not go upstairs. Instead, she sat at the dining table. She took out her phone and sent Chen Ming a text message.

Chen Ming was probably busy and was unable to reply immediately.

Huo Yao turned her phone gently and waited. When the maid came out with dinner and caught Huo Yao drifting off, she could not help asking if everything was fine.

Huo Yao snapped out of her thoughts. She looked at the maid and simply smiled.

“Why do you two seem so distracted today?” remarked the maid casually as she scooped some rice for Huo Yao.

Huo Yao’s chopsticks froze briefly. “Does Brother Yulin seem strange to you?”

The maid contemplated and shook her head. “Well, not entirely. He seemed very concerned about you and kept reminding me to take good care of you.”

Huo Yao automatically frowned. “Really? What else did he say?”

“That’s all. He’s an introvert, so he doesn’t talk too much,” replied the maid with a smile.

She turned back to the kitchen when she was done talking.

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. She picked up her phone and glanced at it. Chen Ming had yet to reply to her previous text message.

Usually, the man would reply to Huo Yao almost immediately. She hardly ate her dinner since she was really preoccupied.

On her way to her bedroom, Huo Yao halted when she went past Huo Yulin’s bedroom. Before she was able to continue, her phone rang.

Huo Yao gathered her thoughts and checked her phone. It was Chen Ming calling her. She promptly answered it.

“Miss Huo, sorry for missing your text message. I was busy. Can I help you?” asked Chen Ming.

Huo Yao went back to her room, closed the door, and said, “Do you know where Brother Yulin has gone?”

Chen Ming paused briefly before he replied. “Isn’t Young Master Yulin at home?”

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and replied. “Nope.”

“Did you try calling him then?” asked Chen Ming.

Huo Yao answered. “Uh huh.”

“Let me send someone to check.” Chen Ming paused and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Huo. I’m sure Young Master Yulin is going to be fine. I will call you back once I find out more.”

“Okay then,” replied Huo Yao promptly. She sounded completely unsuspecting.

Before long, the call ended.

Meanwhile, Chen Ming was finally able to relax slightly after hanging up the phone with Huo Yao. He put away his phone and turned to look at Huo Yulin sitting on a couch. “Miss Huo seems to be on to something.”

Huo Yulin was dressed in black and he gave off a cold aura sitting under the light. He spun his surgical knife gently and said, “Don’t worry. We just need to keep it from her for a few days.”

Even though Chen Ming did not know everything about Miss Huo, he knew it was not easy to fool her. “I will do my best. Whatever it is, I don’t think you should go alone tonight. What if something happens?”
