Chapter 78: Has It Anything to Do with You?
He Xuanyao had been determined to marry Huo Jinyao, so she had visited the Huo Mansion often in the past. She was beautiful and kindd. Even Mrs. Huo, usually a cold person, had been very kind to her.
The He Family and the Huo Family had had business dealings, so she had always felt that she was the best match for Huo Jinyao.
She had been upset for a long time because she hadn’t seen Huo Jinyao when she had gone back to Rong City. That was why she had agreed to come to Lin City with Qiu Junjiao.
She hadn’t expected to meet Huo Jinyao in Lin City. She didn’t recognize him at first, because she had not seen Huo Jinyao for two years. Now, she was sure; she’d seen his face clearly.
“Brother Jinyao. Fancy meeting you here.”
He Xuanyao switched off her indifferent attitude that she had had while watching the fun. There was girlish shyness on her face.
Huo Jinyao glanced at her like she was vaguely familiar. Almost instantly he remembered who she was, but he still acted as if she were stranger to him.
“Who are you?”
“Brother Jinyao, I’m Xuanyao, He Xuanyao. Don’t you remember me? I’m the youngest daughter of the He Family. You worked with my brother before.”
He Xuanyao blushed as she looked at Huo Jinyao, with a pair of eyes full of tenderness.
If it were another man, he would have probably been moved. Huo Jinyao was no ordinary man.
“He Xuanyao.” He knew her. She was He Xuankai’s younger sister and the only daughter of the He Family.
“Yes. You don’t remember me? Aunt Huo said it was fate that we both had the characters that were pronounced as “yao” in our names.”
Although the characters were different, the pronunciation was the same. She had always regarded this as a fateful coincidence.
