Huo Feng had just reached the door when a familiar voice cut through the halls, making him stop in his tracks.
"Ah Feng is around?"
He turned, his gaze landing on his grandmother as she descended the stairs with the support of her maid. Although her steps appeared frail, her presence carried a weight that demanded attention.
Bowing slightly, he greeted her.
"Were you about to leave without even saying hello to me?" Old Madam Huo's tone carried mild reproach, though her eyes were sharp.
A faint smile touched his lips. "I only came to deliver something to Uncle. It's nearly time for your rest, and I didn't wish to disturb you."
Old Madam Huo gave a dismissive roll of her eyes at the excuse and settled into her seat.
"What of Yue Ning? She didn't come with you?" she asked, her gaze narrowing as she noticed the girl's absence.
