Huo Yao automatically disregarded her third older brother's eyes. She lowered her eyes glancing downwards at her clothes. She suddenly regretted her decision. "Do I need to prepare formal clothes?"

Huo Yulin pressed his brow in forbearance. After a moment, he said, "Let's go see Eldest Uncle at the hospital first. I'll take you out to get an outfit later."

They did not have enough time for professional designers to make a new outfit now, so they could only purchase one from the mall.

In any case, it was just a stupid banquet. It was not important enough for his little sister to seriously dress up for.

"Got it, Brother Yulin!" Huo Yao spoke quickly without the slightest protest.

Huo Yulin went quiet.

Something was wrong with the way she called him brother.

**

30 minutes later, the two of them arrived at the hospital.

Huo Yulin looked at the man lying on the hospital bed and felt sad.

Ever since he started living with his eldest uncle, they had been through a lot together during those years. However, he had never seen his eldest uncle quietly lying in bed like this.

"Is there a chance that Eldest Uncle might never wake up?" asked Huo Yulin softly.

Huo Yao casually placed her hand in her pocket as she rubbed her phone every now and then. She sighed and said, "Nope."

After all, the perfect medicine for their eldest uncle would arrive soon.

Huo Yulin turned his head and saw the calm look on his little sister's face. He thought about her incredible medical skills.

Huo Yulin tightened his fists slightly and remained worried. He looked at her worriedly. "Are you…"

Huo Yao knew what he wanted to say. She simply smiled, shaking her head. "Don't worry. I don't die easy."

Huo Yulin rubbed Huo Yao's head on hearing this. This time, he did it rather hard. "Don't say such things from now on."

His little sister should not have said that she did not die easy.

He felt terrible after hearing such words.

Huo Yao could not bear her older brother's sudden concern. She veered her head. "Erm. I need the bathroom."

Her older brothers were great, but they kept acting as though she lacked love.

Huo Yao walked out of the hospital ward expressionlessly.

Min Yu stood outside. When he saw Huo Yao come out, he raised his brow and asked. "What's wrong?"

Huo Yao shrugged. "Do I look like I need attention?"

Min Yu held her hand and placed it on his chest. "To be honest, I certainly need some."

Huo Yao went speechless.

He was so thick-skinned that it was hopeless!

Min Yu looked at the expression on Huo Yao's face. He could not resist lowering his head to kiss her. "Since Brother Yulin is here, I'll book a table at a restaurant later for lunch together."

"I suggest you think twice." Huo Yao glanced at someone. If Huo Yulin saw him acting as though she was already his, he would probably slice Min Yu open immediately with a surgical knife.

"Uh huh."

Huo Yao spoke and pulled her hand back. "No wait. I'm not free in the afternoon. We made plans to head to the mall to get some formal wear."

Min Yu narrowed his eyes on hearing this. "Why?"

"The count sent me an invitation. I'm going to the banquet with Brother Yulin tomorrow." Huo Yao shrugged and answered.

The count's target was her, and she was worried about letting Huo Yulin go there on his own.

Once people became ruthless, they could do anything.

Min Yu recalled Zhuo Yun mentioning the count's banquet a couple of days back. He pondered for a few seconds and said, "No. You're my girlfriend. If you go 'gown shopping' with some other man, I'll get jealous."

Huo Yao rolled her eyes. "He's my brother."

"Not even him." Min Yu dragged her away.

Two years ago, he missed the chance to see her wearing a gown. This time around, he had to defend his rights.

Even if his future father-in-law came, it would not change his mind, let alone a mere brother.
