No matter how long a road was, there will always be an end to that road, let alone a walk that only took ten minutes.

Huo Wu looked at the Huo Family’s villa that they were slowly approaching. She blinked her eyes and asked the question that had been buried in her heart for a while, “Brother, why are you treating me so well?”

“Hm?”

“Because… Brother, you act very indifferently and cold in front of other people.”

Whether it was towards Monier, Mo Ze, Aunt Zhang, or Xiao Wang, Huo Yusen remained as cold and aloof as he usually was. He was like a flower on top of a rocky cliff; it was impossible to get close to him.

But she had seen him smile at her more than once when they were together. His smile was as clear and bright as the beautiful moon and his aloofness made him more charming and mysterious.

Huo Yusen raised his brows slightly when he heard this.

There was a saying: a person’s eyes are the window to a person’s soul. It was hard to deceive others because a person’s eyes will always spill the truth. Huo Yusen could tell from Huo Wu’s gaze that she wanted to approach him. Ever since the first day he returned from abroad, he realized that Huo Wu wanted to get closer to him and curry favor with him.

Even so, her gaze was clean and pure. There were no ill intentions in her gaze. Her gaze was so pure that it was impossible for him to ignore her. He believed that he would feel guilty if he neglected her when she merely wanted some affection from him as her older brother.

He didn’t dislike or feel offended when she tried to approach him. Instead, he found the situation to be amusing as he watched her tentatively approach him every time. They were brothers and sisters, so there was no need for her to thread around him so cautiously. Her cautiousness made him feel quite helpless.

But there was no need to explain all of this to her.

Huo Yusen remained silent and merely smiled in response as he stepped into the villa.

Huo Wu didn’t feel annoyed even though she didn’t receive an explanation from him. On the contrary, she felt that this was to be expected. After all, it would be difficult for someone like Huo Yusen to be able to properly express his feelings.

After they returned home, Huo Wu and Huo Yusen bid each other good night and then headed back to their room.

As soon as she took a step towards the stairs, Huo Yusen suddenly told her to wait.

“Brother?” Huo Wu was slightly confused.

Huo Yusen pondered for a moment before he said, “Mo Ze is a bad influence on you, so try to stay away from him if possible.”

Huo Wu was taken aback by his words.

Perhaps it was because Mo Ze had personally taken her to the auction house today, leading Huo Yusen to believe that they were on friendly terms. This was probably why he suddenly gave her such advice.

Huo Wu nodded and obediently replied, “I understand, brother.”

Huo Yusen was surprised that Huo Wu would agree so bluntly. He pondered again for a moment before he said, “He is not the right person for you. You will find someone better in the future.”

Huo Wu noticed that he seemed to be implying something with his words. Did he believe that there was something going on between her and Mo Ze?

However, his assumption was not baseless. After all, she had met Mo Ze for the first time when she went to the club with Huo Yusen. Yet in the short time that they had met, Mo Ze was willing to personally escort her to the auction house today. To the outsiders, this was quite suspicious since she and Mo Ze became acquainted too quickly.

Huo Yusen probably feared that she would suffer a loss in Mo Ze’s hands. Mo Ze was a playboy and he only hung around people who would benefit him. What Huo Yusen didn’t know was that Huo Wu knew Mo Ze much better than what he believed. She knew that Mo Ze was someone dangerous and that she should keep her distance from him.

Huo Wu smiled sweetly and said, “Don’t worry, brother. I am not close to Mo Ze.” With that said, Huo Wu trotted back to her room in a good mood. Her brother treated her differently than he treated other people. If she was someone else, then he would’ve never warned them about Mo Ze.

By the time Huo Wu returned to her room, it was already one o’clock in the morning. Perhaps it was because she had slept a little in the car, she no longer felt sleepy at all.

She walked to the window and pulled the curtains aside.

The scenery was covered in white. Tiny snowflakes were slowly drifting down from the sky, forming a thin layer of snow on the ground.
