Chapter 737: What Should I Give My Little Sister?
Huo Yulin was busy looking at the cream, so he failed to notice the look on Huo Yao’s face.
He picked up a bottle and opened it to see a dark cream inside. He had expected it to smell like Chinese medicine, but it surprisingly did not have a strong fragrance.
However, it smelled just like the scar removal cream which his eldest uncle had bought off an auction before.
His eldest uncle wanted to give him the cream, but only a small tube of cream was available and it was very expensive, so he had turned down the offer.
He had already lost all hope for his old scars to recover.
Before long, Huo Yulin put the lid back on. “Yao, did you make this yourself?”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao nodded.
This must be the reason why Huo Yao kept going to the room after eating for the past few days. She was actually inside the room concocting the cream.
Huo Yulin felt warm in his heart. For the first time, he felt it was the right decision to come back home.
“Thank you,” said Huo Yulin softly.
Huo Yao raised her brow with a languid look on her exquisite face. “Don’t worry about it. We are family.”
Huo Yulin suddenly smiled the moment he heard what she said. “Uh huh.”
They were family.
Huo Yao glanced at Huo Yulin’s computer before she stood up. “Why don’t you go on working on your paper? I will leave you to it.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she nodded and left the room.
Huo Yulin veered his eyes after the door closed. He contemplated for a few seconds before placing the bottles of cream together to take a picture and posted it on social media.
[My little sister surprised me with a gift. What should I give her?]
Huo Yulin did not have a lot of friends. Most of the people in his address book were friends and family, or big names in the medical industry. There weren’t any random people on it.
After contemplating briefly, he blocked his parents and siblings, including his little sister from viewing the post.
He rarely updated his social media account. The last time he posted something on it was two years ago. Hence, everyone started commenting on his post shortly after he uploaded it.
[Hmm? Since when did you have a little sister? Why haven’t I heard about it?] asked a colleague from his research institute.
Huo Yulin replied: [My little sister is very shy.]
More people commented.
The assistant asked: [Lin, do you need more revision material?]
Huo Yulin: [No, thanks.]
He did not know his little sister well enough back then. Now that he knew she was a genius, why would he want to give her study material? Wouldn’t that be an insult to her intelligence?
[A huge diamond.]
[A luxury yacht.]
[A plane.]
…
Huo Yulin rubbed his forehead when he saw the suggestions he received from the trusted Huo family aides.
Those were not gifts at all. They were more like bombs.
No wonder his parents did not allow them to see his little sister. They were simply too much.
After looking at everyone’s responses for a while, Huo Yulin was unable to find any constructive suggestions, so he put his phone away.

Huo Yao went back to her room and wanted to turn on her computer when she received a message. She checked it quickly before replying to it and standing up.
Huo Yao stayed still for a few seconds before she opened her drawer and took a small box of incense. She proceeded to put on a coat and went downstairs.
She placed her finger over the lock and entered the villa next door.
Zhuo Yun was in the living room and had just come out after packing the luggage. The moment he caught sight of Huo Yao, he greeted her. “Hello, Miss Huo.”
