Huo Yao pushed open the door to the study.
The minimalist style of black and white was clean and comfortable at first glance. The bookshelves on the left side of the wall were neatly arranged with books, and on the centermost shelf, there was an exquisite and mysterious ornament that glowed with a silver light.
Huo Yao placed the drawing on the desk and walked over to the bookshelf. Her eyes landed on the silver ornament and she was slightly stunned.
The ornament was made up of irregular metal parts. It did not look like a mechanism, nor did it look like a weapon. It was just that the overall shape looked a little familiar. It seemed to be similar to the things she had seen in the images she had seen in the clan. It seemed to have the same effect.
Huo Yao looked at it quietly for a while before she left the study.
The kitchen was still busy when she went downstairs. She raised her head and glanced at it before she sat down on the couch in the living room.
Huo Yao pondered over the silver ornament. She took out her phone and texted Shangguan Yun.
[Can you record a video for me in the Forbidden Pavilion?]
A few minutes passed, but there was no response.
Huo Yao ignored him and dug out Cheng Ming's number to call him.
Cheng Ming was not in the ward when he received the call. He told her that Huo Yulin would be discharged tomorrow and that he would be attending a medical conference abroad.
Huo Yao said, "It's fine. As long as he doesn't jump around like he did that night, he won't lose his life."
Cheng Ming's lips twitched. He could sense that Huo Yao's words were full of disdain. He cleared his throat and replied. "Got it. I will keep an eye on Young Master Lin."
Huo Yao nodded. She hung up the phone without saying much.
Before long, Min Yu placed the dishes on the table and asked Huo Yao to join him.
"You are becoming more and more like a chef," commented Huo Yao as she picked up a piece of pork rib.
No wonder there was a saying that went, "To capture a person's heart, one must first capture their stomach."
Min Yu glanced sideways at her. "Thanks for the compliment."
Huo Yao waved her hand and continued eating.
"How's Brother Yulin doing?" asked Min Yu.
Huo Yao chewed and said in a muffled voice, "I think he's recovering well."
After all, she still had her medicine.
Min Yu nodded.
"Oh yes. I saw a silver ornament on your shelf in the study. Where did you buy it? It looks pretty artistic," said Huo Yao casually as she raised her head.
Min Yu raised his brow. "Do you like it?"
Huo Yao smiled. "It looks special."
"I looked at the blueprints on the Internet and found the materials to assemble it," said Min Yu.
Huo Yao could not tell if she was disappointed or regretful when she heard this.
At this time, the phone in her pocket rang. It was Shangguan Yun's reply.
Y: [Boss, I don't have the key to the Forbidden Pavilion. How can I get in? Why are you suddenly asking for a recording?]
Huo Yao composed herself and typed a reply: [Forget it. I don't want it.]
Y: […]
Huo Yao did not want to talk to him anymore, so she put her phone away.

After dinner, Min Yu knew that Huo Yao was a free-range child, so he dragged her upstairs to the study before Huo Yao mentioned going home.
"Take whatever you want to read." Min Yu pointed at the books on the shelf.
Huo Yao acknowledged him. Her exquisite eyes looked a little gentle. The bright lights in the room reflected in her eyes, making them look like a galaxy.
Min Yu's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly pulled her into his arms with the hand he was still holding.
