Huo Yao looked a little serious after talking to him.
Song Ning turned to glance at her daughter. "Who called you at this hour? Is it urgent?"
Huo Yao placed her phone back in her pocket and replied absent-mindedly. "Uh huh. Just a friend."
Song Ning noticed her daughter's preoccupation but did not probe. Before long, the car pulled up at their villa.
Zhuo Yun had been waiting outside the villa and walked over when he saw Huo Yao get off the car. He looked at her worriedly and greeted her. "Miss Huo."
Huo Yao nodded at him unhurriedly. She turned to tell her mother before she even finished parking the car. "Mom, I'm heading next-door."
Zhuo Yun was no longer afraid that Song Ning would recognize him, so he greeted her politely.
Song Ning was caught by surprise. She looked at her daughter and asked her. "Shall I come with you?"
Huo Yao shook her head. "It's fine. I'll be home soon."
