After a two-seconds silence, Huo Yanxi eventually said calmly, "I'm with some friends, and we might be doing something later. Since it's a bunch of guys, it might be unsuitable for Huo Yao to come along. Why don't I take a rain check today?"
Huo Tingrui replied in a casual tone. "Sure thing. I'm driving now. Talk again."
"Mhm."
Huo Tingrui gathered his thoughts and turned to look at Huo Yao. He said somewhat impishly, "Baby Girl, have you decided where to eat?"
Baby Girl?
Huo Yao's lips twitched. There was a complicated expression on her face. Her second older brother seemed to be quite the rascal.
But he hadn't brought up the topic of their older brother post the telephonic conversation.
"Forget it. Why don't we go home? Mom and Dad must be waiting," replied Huo Yao with a shake of her head.
Huo Tingrui contemplated her reply for a moment. Since they could celebrate any day, he did not insist any further.
