As Liu Tongjia listened to Li Qianxue's words, she stepped forward to speak. Huo Mingguang quickly held her back and took her in the direction of Huo Yangxiu.
"Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry. I'm just keeping Tongjia company to see a friend so that we're not back too late. Please don't mind us."
"We're all family here. There's no need to be so cordial."
Huo Yangyuan often mixed in official circles, so it was natural for him to want to remain blameless.
"Yeah, have a seat."
Huo Yangxiu also responded and motioned to the couple to sit down. However, even after Old Master Li and Li Qianxue had greeted the two of them from their end, they still hadn't sat down.
Old Master Li looked amused, and Old Master Huo stood up and gestured for both of them to sit down.
"Come, brother Yongfeng, come and sit here."
