Butler Wang was briefly stunned to hear the suggestions. He automatically thought about how ruthless Huo Yao was and squeezed his fists slightly as they hung from the sides of his body.

  He hurriedly said in a soft voice, "I am sorry, Young Master Zhi. I have family matters to attend to, so I can't go with you."

  Although Song Zhi was a little disappointed to hear this, he did not want to make things difficult for Butler Wang. He did not insist further and simply waved his hand. "It's fine."

  Butler Wang heaved a sigh of relief.

  He was genuinely worried about getting into trouble with Huo Yao yet again.

  **

  After leaving the hospital, Huo Yao and Min Yu went someplace for dinner before going back to the estate.

  Before the car even arrived in front of Huo Yao's villa, a car could be seen parked outside in the distance with someone standing outside.

  Huo Yao quickly got out of the car and walked over.

  "Uncle Changfeng, have you been waiting for long? Why didn't you just go in?" asked Huo Yao quizzically.

  Huo Changfeng glanced behind Huo Yao before shaking his head. "Not really. Since you called me in the afternoon, I was worried if something happened to you. Is everything okay?"

  Huo Yao did not expect Uncle Changfeng to come all the way to the villa to check on her. She paused before she continued. "Someone from the Song family wants me to treat them, so I said no."

  Huo Changfeng recalled that Old Master Song was suffering from cancer. Also, Song Zhi had attempted to abduct Miss Huo previously. He instantly looked angry. "Did they make trouble for you again?"

  No wonder Huo Yao called to ask if anyone could touch the Huo family. It certainly sounded like something the Song family was capable of saying.

  "They can't reach their hands that far, so don't worry," said Huo Yao mildly.

  Ever since Huo Tingrui's episode, Huo Changfeng could tell that Huo Yao was no ordinary girl. After looking at her quietly, he said, "If you need help, don't be shy."

  Huo Yao nodded obediently. Since she did not know how long Huo Changfeng had been standing here, she changed the subject and asked. "Have you had dinner yet?"

  Huo Changfeng was too embarrassed to tell her the truth about missing dinner, so he cleared his throat and replied. "Yes, I have."

  Huo Yao blinked.

  Huo Changfeng looked ahead uneasily. Min Yu's car was still around and its headlights were on. However, he could only see the outline of the driver's face. He narrowed his eyes and veered them. "Are you dating the boy from the Min family?"

  Huo Yao was caught by surprise when Huo Changfeng suddenly mentioned this.

  Huo Changfeng seemed calm as he spoke. Then, he said, "Although you are a little young to start dating, you have my support. Just don't limit yourself to one guy. After all, there are plenty of decent men in the world. You should take your time and pick slowly. If you don't like the guy, just keep changing until you find the right one."

  Huo Yao felt bewildered and went quiet.

  Her older brothers kept telling her that it was too early for her to start dating. However, Uncle Changfeng was surprisingly encouraging her to do it. From the sound of it, he was even encouraging her to keep her options open.

  Huo Yao's face twitched awkwardly. She hurriedly interrupted him as he attempted to convince her. "Uncle Changfeng, you are absolutely right. I will remember that!"

  Huo Changfeng raised his brow. He noticed the patronizing expression on her face, but did not expose her. He simply patted her on the shoulder and said, "If you really want to date, there will be countless people queuing up to date you."

  He recalled the crowned prince of Country M was a pretty good candidate for Huo Yao.

  Huo Yao smiled awkwardly as she touched her nose and nodded.

  Huo Changfeng took out his car keys. "Enough. I am heading off. Remember to call me if you need my help."
