Huo Xin didn't want to become the target in her parents' eyes during such a critical period. Especially when she thought about going shopping with her third elder brother, she couldn't help shivering at the thought of how cold it might be on the way.
Just thinking about it made Huo Xin shiver involuntarily.
"Don't be afraid, little sister. With me around, I'll take you out. They won't say anything," Huo Zhen said, looking at Huo Xin with a hint of amusement.
"Really?"
For a moment, Huo Zhen thought Huo Xin's eyes lit up. She looked extremely cute.
But it was just for a second. Soon, the sparkle in those eyes faded. He didn't know why.
"Third brother, forget it. I don't want to go," Huo Xin said, lowering her head and sounding a bit dejected.
"Why? You clearly wanted to go just now. Tell third brother what you're afraid of?"
Listening to the gentle voice above her head, Huo Xin was really struggling and hesitating. On one hand, she really wanted to go shopping. On the other hand, her fourth elder brother was still locked up. How could she act as if nothing had happened and go shopping?
She was really worried about her fourth elder brother. What if something happened to him?
Although Huo Xin didn't believe that Huo Cheng had stolen the family treasure of the Huo family, there was no telling what was true or false. It all depended on how skillful the person who framed him was and whether they could bring Huo Cheng down.
Huo Xin still thought she should stay at home. If something happened to her fourth elder brother, she could be there to help. She didn't want there to be no one in the family to support her fourth elder brother.
She could go shopping anytime, but if something happened to her fourth elder brother, there would be no way to fix it. Presumably, her fourth sister - in - law and the baby were still at home waiting for her fourth elder brother to come back.
"I... I'm not. I just don't want to go. Thank you, third brother, but I really don't want to go out shopping now."
"Little sister..." Huo Zhen was just about to say something more when he was interrupted.
"Th... Third young master, I've finally found you. I've been looking for you for ages," Dr. Yang gasped as he ran over.
In response, Huo Zhen gave him a cold look. Dr. Yang said he was used to it and didn't care at all.
"Miss Huo, hello. You're here too," Dr. Yang was quite surprised to see Miss Huo. Could it be that the third young master had suddenly come out of his shell?
It was rare to see Huo Zhen take the initiative to contact anyone. Dr. Yang instinctively thought that it must be Miss Huo who had taken the initiative to talk to the third young master first.
"What's the matter?"
Huo Zhen cleared his throat and asked.
It took Dr. Yang a while to realize that this was directed at him. It was just that Huo Zhen's tone was so ordinary and normal that he was completely different from the cold and aloof Huo Zhen he usually knew.
"Cough, um, third young master, your medicine for today," Dr. Yang took out some pills from his bag and handed them to Huo Zhen.
"What are these?" Huo Xin was very curious. Weren't they saying that her third brother's leg was better? Why did he still need to take medicine to maintain his health?
"Nutritional tablets," seeing Huo Xin's curiosity, Dr. Yang took out another one and handed it to her.
"What's the function of this? To supplement nutrition?" Huo Xin looked up and down at the pill the size of a milk tablet, very curious.
"No, the function of this is that the third young master always doesn't like to eat. So I had to develop this. If the third young master doesn't want to eat, taking this can ensure the basic intake of nutrition," Dr. Yang said with a smile.
"Wow, it's so amazing. Dr. Yang, you're really amazing," Huo Xin returned the pill to Dr. Yang. Since this was her third brother's source of nutrition, it was better for her not to play with it.
"Hahaha, Miss Huo, you're overpraising me," hearing Huo Xin's praise, Dr. Yang was in a good mood. His achievement had been recognized by others.
The cold look from Huo Zhen beside him immediately stopped Dr. Yang's laughter.
After so long, Dr. Yang thought he was immune to it, but he found that he still couldn't resist Huo Zhen's deadly glare.
"But third brother, why don't you like to eat? It's not good at all," the sudden complaint from the young girl made Huo Zhen stunned for a moment.
"Okay," instinctively, Huo Zhen blurted out this word.
"Okay? Third brother, do you mean it's good not to eat? What's good about not eating? Third brother, you're not on a diet. You're so thin. You should gain some weight," Huo Xin continued to scold Huo Zhen. Everything was harmonious and natural, just like ordinary siblings.
"Okay, okay, okay. Third brother will definitely eat well from now on and won't take these nutritional tablets anymore. Just this once. Third brother promises you that he will eat from now on."
Seeing Huo Zhen agree so readily and even with a pleading attitude, Dr. Yang's eyes almost popped out. He began to wonder if he had misjudged the person. Was this Huo Zhen really replaced?
He couldn't believe that Huo Zhen, who in Dr. Yang's impression was not a good - tempered person and had no compassion for the fairer sex, would suddenly change his attitude towards his younger sister.
Huo Xin was also very surprised. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she regretted it. In the family, her father and mother rarely interfered with her third brother, Huo Zhen. She was very worried that Huo Zhen would be angry.
Huo Xin always thought that Huo Zhen's temper was unpredictable. But the words had already been spoken and couldn't be taken back. She was just so nervous, afraid that Huo Zhen would be unhappy.
She really didn't expect that Huo Zhen would obediently agree to her. It was a bit like an ordinary elder brother to his younger sister. The thought that popped up in her mind scared Huo Xin.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?" Feeling Huo Zhen's hand waving in front of her eyes, Huo Xin suddenly woke up. When she looked up, she saw Huo Zhen looking at her with a smile on his face.
Dr. Yang was surprised again. This time it was his chin. He felt that his chin was about to fall off.
What did he see?!
Huo Zhen actually smiled. Dr. Yang had only seen one expression on Huo Zhen's face for a long time. He never thought that he would see Huo Zhen smile in his lifetime.
"Nothing, nothing. I'm not thinking about anything," Huo Xin felt inexplicably guilty. Huo Zhen was still smiling at her. The scene was once very embarrassing.
"Miss Huo, third young master, I just saw you chatting happily. What were you talking about?" Sensing the embarrassing atmosphere, Dr. Yang took the opportunity to change the topic.
But what he didn't know was that this topic would also make Miss Huo embarrassed.
Thinking about how she had just rejected Huo Zhen, Huo Xin lowered her head silently.
Huo Zhen still looked in a good mood. He didn't get angry when Dr. Yang asked such a question. Instead, he took the initiative to answer.
"I was asking Xin'er if she wanted me to accompany her shopping, but I was rejected," Huo Zhen shrugged.
"Th... That's so? But aren't you guys under house arrest now?"
Huo Zhen gave him a cold look, and Dr. Yang shut up. He secretly regretted why he had provoked this little ancestor. How could he forget that this person never cared about being under house arrest or not.
