Chapter 179: You Don’t Look Well. Are You Sick?

Huo Xiang’s car came over. Since it was a large MPV, there was enough space for all of them.
Huo Yao got onto the car first while Huo Tingrui helped Tong Yu load the luggage. Huo Xiang hesitated before getting into the car to sit next to Huo Yao.
Huo Tingrui instantly glared sideways at Huo Xiang, when he got on after loading the luggage. He was occupying the seat next to their little sister.
Tsk, that cunning Huo Xiang!
Huo Xiang was nonplussed when Huo Tingrui rolled his eyes at him again, “???”
Tong Yu caught sight of Huo Tingrui’s expression. He glanced at the silly and clueless Huo Xiang and shook his head before moving to get into the front passenger seat.
Good luck to Huo Xiang!
The car left the airport and headed to the Huo family’s estate.
Huo Xiang removed his mask after getting into the car. Despite his cold and untalkative personality, he had a rather good impression of Huo Yao from that one time they dined together.
Huo Xiang placed his hand on his knee and rubbed his long fingers on it randomly. He glanced sideways at his little sister every now and then. He wanted to start a conversation but did not know what to say.
Also, Huo Tingrui had not found time to chat with his younger sister yet. After being abroad for so many days, there was a lot of work waiting for him at the company, so he kept exchanging texts with his assistant.
Huo Yao sensed Huo Xiang’s furtive stares. She lowered her eyes before turning to look at Huo Xiang unhurriedly. Immediately, she noticed how wan and sick he looked.
Huo Yao frowned. Her eyes inadvertently glanced at his hand on his knee and spotted traces of a needle puncture. Although it had healed quite a bit, she managed to see it.
Huo Yao asked him casually. “Brother Xiang, have you been filming abroad?”
Huo Xiang looked at Huo Yao. Although he did not know how his little sister knew that he had gone abroad, he guessed Huo Tingrui must have told her about it.
Huo Xiang composed himself and pursed his lips. A calm and somewhat stiff smile appeared on his cool face and made him look more approachable. He said softly, “Mhm.”
Huo Yao immediately questioned him in an expressionless voice. “You don’t look well. Are you sick?”
Huo Xiang’s face froze for a second, and even the hand on his knee instinctively clenched into a fist.
Huo Tingrui swiftly interrupted from behind and said, “He’s just exhausted from being stuck on the plane for over ten hours.”
Huo Xiang’s hand relaxed.
He did not want the rest of the family to find out about his health problems.
“Okay. Make sure you have a good rest after you get home. Nothing’s more important than your health,” said Huo Yao as she lowered her eyes and acted like she believed them.
“Mhm, I know,” replied Huo Xiang with a bitter taste in his throat. Then he looked out of the car window at the street lamps rapidly retreating against the speeding car.
The car finally reached their estate in about 50 minutes.
Tong Yu removed the luggage and left with his assistant.
Right after Huo Xiang picked up his luggage, Huo Yao reached over to grip him by his wrist casually and said, “Brother Xiang, let me help you.”
Huo Xiang was stunned.
Huo Yao let go of him quickly. Then she turned to hold the luggage by its handle and pulled it away from Huo Xiang.
The entire process took no more than a few seconds.
