C8 It Was Obvious That He Was Jealous of His Uncle's Body
"What are you yelling about?!"
Yinyao was catching his breath, let out a huff, paused for a moment, and frowned, "What's up?! Just say it!"
After speaking, he coughed lightly into his hand.
Duanming heard the irritation in Yinyao's voice and shrank back in fear. He quickly said, "Uncle... I've finished dealing with the company stuff. I came over to talk to you about Xinlan and me. Do you have a moment?"
Duanming knew Yinyao was a no-nonsense kind of guy, so he got straight to the point. As he spoke, he glanced at Yinyao's hand, which was still gripping someone's wrist.
Wow, Uncle's got quite a grip there. The girl's hand was turning white.
When Yinyao heard the name Xinlan, his eyes darkened a bit. "We'll talk at home!"
"Okay!"
Duanming responded, "Then, Uncle, I'll head back now. You... come home early!"
He reminded him mainly because he was worried they'd hang out too long, and Uncle's health might not handle it!
Uncle hadn't been in great health these past couple of years, so he couldn't overdo it...
Besides, the way that girl looked at Uncle was full of greed, like she was hungry for him.
At this moment, as someone who had always been looked after by Uncle, he felt he should give a little reminder.
"Alright!" Yinyao replied, instructing Afu to close the car door.
Afu responded, respectfully stepped forward to close the door, and took a seat in the front passenger seat.
"Where to now, sir?"
Huo Yinyao's lips tightened as he released his grip and replied, "Ask her!"
Bai Xinyan glanced at Huo Yinyao, almost bursting into laughter. He looked just like a sulking husband!
Suppressing her amusement, Bai Xinyan rubbed her wrist and smiled as she spoke to the driver, "Could you please take me to the film set on the west side?"
"Sure, no problem!"
The driver started the car and headed toward the west side. Upon arrival at the set, the driver stopped the car, and Huo Yinyao personally tossed something soft out.
"Drive!"
With that command, the driver, Afeng, quickly responded, turning the car around and driving toward Shuyang Mansion.
At Shuyang Mansion, Butler Shang saw a black Rolls-Royce pull in and immediately went to greet it. He opened the car door and respectfully bowed to the man in the back seat. "Welcome back, sir!"
"Yes," Huo Yinyao replied coolly.
At this moment, Afu got out from the front passenger seat and pressed the button for the automatic ramp. As the ramp extended, Afu carefully helped Huo Yinyao down.
"Mr. Huo, young master Duanming is waiting for you in the study," Butler Shang said with a gentle and respectful demeanor.
Young master Duanming was quite a pitiful child, with an unknown mother and a father who passed away early. He had been with the Ninth Master since he was eight.
The Huo family might seem peaceful and harmonious on the surface, but in reality, they're as ruthless as they come. Young Master Duanming, under the protection of Ninth Master, has managed to avoid numerous "accidents" and "disasters."
Ninth Master is strict with Young Master Duanming, but he also cares for him deeply. He had him start managing the Huo's business early on, intending to groom him as his successor.
"Got it! *Cough, cough!*" Huo Yinyao lightly coughed into his hand and instructed Afu to head up to the third floor.
Due to Huo Yinyao's poor health, the mansion was equipped with an elevator. When it stopped, Afu wheeled Huo Yinyao into the study.
Inside, Huo Duanming quickly took over from Afu to push the wheelchair when he saw Huo Yinyao enter.
"Uncle!" Huo Duanming called out cautiously, then asked, "So... who was that person in your car?!"
