Chapter 25 I will never forget what I promised
Huo Yanxi was quite upset about Huo Yao's matter, and he was a little absent-minded when chatting with Lu Xia afterwards.
After finishing the meal, Huo Yanxi drove Lu Xia back home.
When they reached the gate, Lu Xia unbuckled his seat belt and asked, "Brother, how about coming in and sitting down? My dad has asked me to call you several times before."
Huo Yanxi put his hands on the steering wheel, glanced at the Lu family villa outside the car window, and shook his head, "No, it's too late and not suitable. Let's do it another day."
Lu Xia's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she still kept a ladylike smile on her face, "Okay then, big brother, drive carefully, I'll go home first."
After a pause, as if remembering something, Lu Xia winked at him playfully: "By the way, big brother, don't forget your promise to me tomorrow."
Huo Yanxi was stunned.
"You promised me that you would personally take me to school when school starts. Have you really forgotten?" Lu Xia pretended to be sad and held his chest.
Huo Yanxi came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, "I haven't forgotten."
After hearing this, Lu Xia smiled and said, "That's good. Go home quickly. I'm getting off the bus. See you tomorrow!"
Huo Yanxi hummed softly, but just before Lu Xia opened the car door and was about to get out, he suddenly thought of Huo Yao again, and he almost subconsciously called her, "Xia Xia."
Lu Xia turned around and looked at him in confusion, "Huh?"
The girl has clear eyes and a gentle expression on her pretty face. She looks well-behaved and sensible.
Huo Yan looked at her with hope, suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, shaking his head, "Nothing, I just forgot to ask you what time you will report to school tomorrow."
Seeing this, Lu Xia suddenly let out a long sigh and said jokingly, "Brother, you almost scared me. I thought you were going to go back on your word and say you wouldn't send me off tomorrow."
Huo Yanxi's eyes flickered and he denied, "No."
"Okay, see you tomorrow at eight o'clock." Lu Xia ended the topic appropriately.
Huo Yanxi said 'hmm'.
Then, Lu Xia waved at him, jumped out of the car, and walked towards the villa.
Huo Yanxi followed Lu Xia's back with his eyes until he disappeared from sight for a long time before he slowly retracted his gaze.
Since his biological sister doesn't need him to send her off, there is no need for him to reject Xia Xia out of consideration for her feelings. After all, Xia Xia is still his sister.
Thinking of this, the remaining trace of guilt in Huo Yanxi's heart also dissipated.
Soon, he started the car engine, turned around and left the Lu family.

As soon as Lu Xia entered the room, He Xiaoman, Lu's mother, who was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, looked up at her and asked, "It's so late, what friend asked you out?"
Her voice was quite gentle, and she didn't mean to question him.
Lu Xia walked over slowly, stretched out his hand and naturally massaged He Xiaoman's shoulders, "My eldest brother wants to talk to me about something."
"Big brother?" He Xiaoman frowned when she heard this title, "Is it your adoptive mother's family again?"
Lu Xia knew that He Xiaoman looked down on the Huo family, so she just nodded lightly.
"Didn't I tell you to have less contact with the Huo family?" He Xiaoman said earnestly, "Mom knows you have a kind heart, but your adoptive mother's family is not good people, especially your fake brothers. The closer you get to them, who knows how they will use you in the future."
Lu Xia lowered his eyes slightly, thinking that it was because you were prejudiced and short-sighted, you had no idea what they were capable of.
