Yang Yi looked at Zhuo Yun quizzically. “Why are you looking at me like this? What’s the address?”
Zhuo Yun shoved his box into Yang Yi’s hands before replying uneasily. “I forgot I had something to deal with. You can look Miss Huo up on your own.”
Yang Yi felt lost. “?”
Zhuo Yun coughed. “I feel a little embarrassed.”
Yang Yi’s lips twitched. “Can you get to the point?”
Zhuo Yun handed him his phone.
It turned out that he had been trying to buy Huo Yao’s new place from her folks, in order to give it to her. The irony of the situation made him feel awkward.
Fortunately, the owner did not agree to sell his place.
Yang Yi rested his forehead against his palm. It was certainly one hell of a coincidence.
Yang Yi drove the car while Zhuo Yun sat in the backseat. He was going to hide in the car later and play it by the ear.

Everything would work out fine as long as he did not encounter Huo Yao’s father.
Two minutes later, Yang Yi pulled up outside the Huo family’s villa. He told Zhuo Yun to text Huo Yao.
Before long, Huo Yao walked out, with her curious father in tow.
Zhuo Yun spotted Huo Yao’s father from a distance, so he shrank into the back seat. He was too embarrassed to get off the car.
Yang Yi glanced at Zhuo Yun and shook his head speechlessly. He took the wooden box and opened the car door.
“Hello, Miss Huo,” said Yang Yi courteously and bowed to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao nodded. “Where is Zhuo Yun?”
Yang Yi coughed. “He suddenly had something urgent to attend to.”
“I see.” Huo Yao did not take it to heart. Instead, she looked at him and said, “What did you want me to look at?”
“It is this.” Yang Yi handed the wooden box to Huo Yao politely.
Huo Yao glanced at the wooden box. She took it from Yang Yi and opened it. When she saw the porcelain bottle inside, she was stunned for a moment before she quickly asked Yang Yi. “What is this?”
Yang Yi glanced at Huo Jinyan who was standing behind her. He paused momentarily. Before he could go on, his phone beeped in his pocket.
Yang Yi took it out for a look before he said, “Why don’t you come over next door and have a seat.”
Huo Yao pondered over his words. She handed the wooden box back to Yang Yi and turned to look at her old man. She said, “Dad, I’m going next door. Can you go back first?”
“Sure sure. Go on,” said Huo Jinyan as he touched his nose and nodded amicably.
Yang Yi nodded at Huo Jinyan courteously before he looked at Huo Yao. “You can go over first. I’m going to park the car.”
“Okay.” Huo Yao nodded and turned to walk towards the villa next door. ”
Huo Jinyan kept looking at Yang Yi as he got into the car and drove away. He only veered his eyes after a long time.
This man’s aura resembled the bodyguards in his company.
Huo Jinyan touched his chin. Then he quickly realized that something was wrong. They had barely moved in two days ago. How did his daughter already know their neighbor?
Also, he recalled the man intent on buying their villa was this very neighbor.
Huo Jinyan’s eyes suddenly opened wide at the discovery. Were they attempting to convince his daughter after failing to get him to sell the house?

No wonder he treated Huo Yao so respectfully. They had an ulterior motive.
Huo Jinyan hurriedly took out his phone and texted Huo Yao.
[Don’t be fooled by them. We aren’t selling our place no matter how much they offer!]
