Huo Yao arrived home and saw Huo Jinyan sitting in the living room with the old man and playing chess.
Huo Yao walked over and greeted them courteously.
The old man put down his chess piece and looked at Huo Yao. "Do you play chess?"
Huo Yao leaned against the couch armrest and replied calmly. "Nope."
"I see." The old man did not go on talking to her. Instead, his eyes landed back on the chessboard.
Huo Yao glanced at the old man. He was certainly a master at pretending.
Huo Jinyan raised his head to glance at his daughter before he looked at the door and asked. "Why did you come back alone? Where is your brother?"
She instinctively felt that Huo Tingrui did not want to get forced into attending more matchmaking sessions, and hence, had come up with such a lame excuse.
When she told him about what Huo Tingrui had said, Huo Jinyan looked happy.
