After the divorce, she disappeared overnight

In the early morning, a soft glimmer of light shines through the window onto the windowsill, as if covering the entire room with a veil.

The person on the bed moved slightly and slowly opened his eyes, as if still immersed in a dream.

Luo Yao reached out, fumbled for her cell phone from beside the pillow, squinted her eyes and looked at the time on the screen.

Well, it’s okay, it’s only eight o’clock.

She turned over and sat up, stretched, then slowly got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she carefully arranged her hair and clothes in front of the mirror.

Looking at herself in the mirror, looking refreshed, Luo Yao nodded with satisfaction.

Walking out of the room, she subconsciously glanced at the door opposite.

Hey, why is the door open? Has he already gone to work?

With a hint of doubt, she walked to the door and looked inside through the crack.

Sure enough, the bed was empty, with no one on it.

Luo Yao went downstairs to the living room, took out the car keys from the drawer, and thought about what she had to do today.

Then she opened the door, stepped into the yard, and walked towards the car parked on the side of the road.

Get in the car, fasten your seat belt, start the engine, and the car drives smoothly out of the house and merges into the early morning streets.

The car moved along the road and the scenery outside the window kept changing.

Luo Yao was driving attentively, but her thoughts gradually drifted away.

She thought of the conversation with him last night, and a complex emotion surged in her heart...

Not long after, the vehicle stopped steadily in front of the magnificent and quaint old house of the Huo family.

Two majestic stone lions stood at the entrance of the mansion, and the vermilion door was closed, revealing a sense of solemnity.

At this moment, an old man in a black suit and with an upright posture was walking quickly out of the house.

I saw him trotting to the front of the car to greet us with a kind and friendly smile on his face.

"Madam, you are back."

Luo Yao nodded slightly: "Yes, Uncle Wang. Is Grandpa up yet?"

"I got up early and have been waiting for you in the living room."

"Good~"

As soon as I stepped into the living room, I saw Huo Chenqi sitting on the sofa, staring at the mobile phone screen intently.

He seemed to sense someone coming in, and slowly raised his head, his eyes meeting the person's, his eyes full of tenderness: "Yaoyao, you're back."

"Where is grandpa?" Luo Yao asked, looking around.

"In the kitchen."

"Grandpa is old and has difficulty moving around. Why don't you take good care of him?" Luo Yao said in a reproachful tone, then quickly walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Mr. Huo standing aside, directing the servants to do things in an orderly manner.

"grandfather."

"Hey..." Mr. Huo turned around when he heard the voice, with a kind smile on his face.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry too much about these trivial matters. Go back to the living room and rest."

"Okay, let's go back now." Mr. Huo agreed readily and walked towards the living room with her.

After the two returned to the living room and had just sat down for a while, Mr. Huo suddenly caught a glimpse of his grandson still leisurely standing aside. He was immediately furious and kicked Huo Chenqi, shouting: "Why are you still staying at home instead of going to work at the company!"

"Grandpa, it hurts..." Huo Chenqi deliberately pretended to be in pain.

"It's your fault! Who told you to be an eyesore here? Get back to work!" Old Master Huo scolded mercilessly.

"Grandpa, aren't you planning to go out for fun with Yaoyao? How about this, let me humble myself and be your driver today, accompanying you the whole time." Huo Chenqi smiled flatteringly.

Hearing this, Luo Yao's eyes instantly revealed a trace of disgust, and she muttered to herself: How can this person be so shameless? His face is thicker than a city wall.

"We have a driver at home, so we don't need to bother you working around the clock all day and all night." Grandpa Huo said to his grandson who looked tired.

"Grandpa, I happen to be free today, so I can spend time with you." Huo Chenqi showed a gentle smile. This opportunity was rare, so he had to seize it.

"Yaoyao, look at this..."

Old Master Huo thought to himself that he actually wanted Huo Chenqi to go with him, so that he could find an opportunity to ease the slightly tense relationship between his grandson-in-law and his wife.

Hearing this, Luo Yao, who was sitting next to him, said softly: "Grandpa, you can do whatever you want." Her tone was calm, but her eyes revealed a kind of indifference.

This sentence seems casual, but it actually shows that she has no objection to this arrangement.

Mr. Huo was such a smart man that he naturally understood the deep meaning behind it, so he laughed and said, "Okay, okay! That's settled then."

At this time, a servant walked into the room and respectfully reported to Mr. Huo: "Master, breakfast is ready."

"Yes." Mr. Huo nodded to show that he understood.

"Yaoyao, let's go have breakfast."

After saying that, Mr. Huo stood up.

Luo Yao hurried forward to support him and walked towards the restaurant together.

However, as they sat around the dining table, an eerie atmosphere of silence pervaded.

Huo Chenqi stared silently at the woman opposite him. His deep eyes seemed to hide countless thoughts, which were difficult to understand.

"Yaoyao, come, try this." Old Master Huo broke the deadlock and enthusiastically picked up some food for Luo Yao.

"Okay, thank you grandpa, you should eat more too." Luo Yao responded politely with a faint smile on her face.

During the entire meal, apart from a few occasional greetings, there was no further communication.

This strange silence made the family breakfast, which should have been warm and harmonious, particularly depressing.

……

It wasn't long before they finished breakfast and were ready to leave.

I saw a domineering off-road vehicle parked neatly at the door.

"Uncle Wang, you and grandpa can sit in the back seats." Huo Chenqi said.

"Ah?" Uncle Wang was surprised when he heard this, and muttered to himself: How can I do this!

However, when he and Huo Chenqi exchanged glances, he instantly understood the deep meaning, so he quickly responded: "Okay, that's good too, I can just chat with the old man. Come, old man, I'll help you get in the car."

After the elders were seated, Luo Yao stood there motionless, as if she was at a loss, not knowing where she should sit.

"Yaoyao, just sit in the front row with Aqi."

At this moment, the old man spoke and broke the deadlock.

Hearing this, Luo Yao turned to look at the man with a hint of displeasure on her face, but she finally sat in the passenger seat very reluctantly.

Huo Chenqi started the car engine, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a barely perceptible smile.
