When he heard her question over there, he immediately stopped moving, his eyes widened, and he covered his mouth with his hand.
Seeing that he was quiet, Catherine knew what kind of reaction he would have. In order to increase his fear of being unruly, she deliberately lowered her voice: "Tell your sister what you are eating."
"I-I'm eating cookies."
Then, he was very smart and immediately found an ally: "Sister, don't tell my dad, okay, or he will spank me."
"Your father beat you?"
Huo Yi seemed to be complaining: "I've been spanked, and the spanking hurts so much. I can't wear pants on my butt for many days."
Catherine didn't know how Huo Shaoting usually disciplined Huo Yi, but after hearing what Huo Yi said, she thought, would he really beat him like this?
Huo Yi added: "Sister, this is our secret, okay?"
Catherine laughed, she really wanted to laugh out loud at Huo Yi's childlike words, so she could only reply in a pretense of seriousness: "Well... okay, this time it will be our secret, but next time you can Can’t you eat in secret?”
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"
Huo Yi kept cheering happily over there.
Catherine listened to his cheers, and the smile never left her face.
Huo Yi kept talking to Catherine on the other end of the phone with her mobile phone, and Catherine kept listening to his rambling and childlike words.
She just told him her number at first, but she didn't expect that he would remember it and actually call her.
For Catherine, this was a huge surprise, one she had never experienced in the past four years.
She enjoyed this moment, cherished it, and even hoped that at this moment, time could slow down a little so that she could listen to the sounds over there more.
Just as Catherine was immersed in the joy of happiness, suddenly a servant's voice came from over there: "Young Master, what are you doing?"
Too bad it was discovered.
Sure enough, there was a rush over there, there was the sound of putting down the phone, the rustle of hiding biscuits, and Huo Yi's stuttering voice: "No, I didn't do anything."
The relaxed demeanor that he had while talking to her on the phone while biting a biscuit disappeared in an instant.
"Who did you call?"
Just when Catherine heard the servant from Tan Palace over there asking and wanted to hear Huo Yi's answer, the phone was suddenly hung up the next second.
Catherine heard the hang-up sound and was silent for a while. She wanted to call, but she thought about it and decided not to.
She put away her phone with a smile on her face.
…
When Huo Yi asked the servant this question, he replied: "The person I called is my sister."
Of course, when he answered this question, his little butt was pressed firmly against the sofa cushion, fearing that the cookie would be discovered.
At this time, Ke Weiyi happened to be walking down the stairs. She paused when she heard the word sister.
When the servant wanted to speak, Ke Weiyi had already come downstairs. He was one step ahead of the servant, walked up to Huo Yi and held Huo Yi's hands: "Which sister should I call?"
There was still a circle of bread crumbs on Huo Yi's little mouth, and he looked at her with a pair of black grape-like eyes. He said with a well-hidden look on his face: "It's that sister Catherine."
Ke Weiyi picked him up from the sofa and took him upstairs.
The servant did not expect that she would behave like this, so he called out: "Mr. Ke..."
Before she finished speaking, Ke Weiyi had already carried Huo Yi to the room upstairs. She squatted in front of Huo Yi and said, "Huo Yi, that Catherine is a bad sister, do you know? You can't give it to her next time. Called."
Huo Yi looked at it with a confused look on his face, he didn't understand.
Ke Weiyi's hand tightened on his: "She bullied your father and bullied you when you were very young. Do you know?"
The words "bad guy" and "bully" have become frightening existences in the hearts of children.
Huo Yi's eyes widened.
Ke Weiyi hugged him tightly: "Huo Yi, you have to protect dad, yourself, and Aunt Yiyi, okay?"
Huo Yi was so frightened that she didn't speak for a long time.
…
After Catherine finished the call, she returned to Dean An's office. Lu Wei asked, "Whose call did you answer for so long?"
When Catherine heard Lu Wei's inquiry, she smiled: "It belongs to a child."
"Kid? A kid from an orphanage?"
"No, a kid from a friend's house."
Lu Wei said: "I can't tell that you are someone who likes children so much."
In Lu Wei's view, a young girl like Catherine, dressed like this, would be someone who loves children very much.
Catherine thought of Huo Yi, with a smile on her face: "If I didn't like children, there would be no foundation now."
When Lu Wei heard this, she immediately smiled.
…
When Sheng Yunxia arrived at Tan Palace, Ke Weiyi heard the movement downstairs and went downstairs. She walked up to Sheng Yunxia and called out: "Mrs. Huo."
The loneliness on her face was so obvious.
How could Sheng Yunxia not see it? She asked, "What happened? You look unhappy."
Ke Weiyi and Sheng Yunxia were actually related to each other, but of course the relationship was relatively far away.
She was the daughter of a relative of Sheng Yunxia's mother's family who lived on the mountain road. When Huo Yi needed a teacher, Ke Weiyi took the initiative to ask for her. In addition, because of her background as a graduate of a prestigious school, she became Huo Yi's teacher.
So Sheng Yunxia was nice to her most of the time.
When Ke Weiyi heard Sheng Yunxia's question, she thought for a while and said, "Brother Shao Ting went to have dinner with Miss Lu today."
Sheng Yunxia was still thinking about what it would be. After hearing Ke Weiyi's words, she smiled: "Miss Lu?"
Covey nodded.
"That Miss Lu is good at everything. Whether it is family background or background, she is indeed a good match for the Huo family. Unfortunately, she has one disadvantage, that is, she is older. My Huo family's wife's current request is to have more children. She The estimate is not consistent with this aspect.”
Ke Weiyi's eyes immediately rose with hope.
Sheng Yunxia added: "Huo Yi is too lonely now, so I want to give him a companion. The old lady is confused and didn't think of this."
Ke Weiyi smiled instantly.
