"I say, little friend, your patience is a bit lacking." As Min Yu spoke, he seemed to let out a helpless sigh. It was like a gentle breeze brushing past his ear, faint and indifferent.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and moved her fingers away from the call button. She asked him again patiently. "So are you going to help me?"
Min Yu smiled. "Are you in a hurry?"
"I'm not in a hurry, but it would be better if you had time today," replied Huo Yao after a moment of contemplation.
"Okay. Send me your address. I'll get someone to pick it up now."
"Okay. I'll send you your location later. Thanks."
Huo Yao hung up the phone. She tapped on WeChat and found the neighbor's contact that she had added a few days ago. Without hesitation, she sent him her address.

When Min Yu received Huo Yao's location on WeChat, he replied with an 'OK' before he raised his head and looked at his subordinates standing nearby. Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
Min Yu narrowed his eyes. The gentle expression on his face instantly disappeared. "That's all for today. You are dismissed."
His voice was cold.
His subordinates shivered and quickly averted their eyes in fear. They did not dare to make a sound and chose to leave.
Zhuo Yun was the last to leave, so he was stopped.
"Zhuo Yun, go and get something."
Zhuo Yun halted and turned to look at his boss. After a few seconds of silence, he asked softly. "Are you going to get something for Huo Yao?"
Min Yu played with his phone gently and replied calmly, "Uh huh."
Zhuo Yun had a complicated look on his face. Even though he was curious, he did not dare to probe further. Instead, he nodded and headed out.
Just as he was about to step out of the door, Min Yu stood up from his seat lazily. "Forget it. I'll go myself."
Zhuo Yun went speechless. "..."
Were Min Yu still the same boss he knew?

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at Huo Yao's place.
Min Yu sent Huo Yao a WeChat message. Before long, a slender girl walked out of the old iron gate.
The car window wound down. Min Yu tilted his head slightly to look at the girl walking towards him. His cold face looked slightly puzzled. "It's the weekend. Why aren't you delivering something to your grandma?"
Huo Yao handed the wooden box to him. Her pretty face remained expressionless as she said, "It's not convenient for me."
Min Yu glanced at the wooden box before looking at Huo Yao with a smile. "Did your foster mother stop you from going?"
Huo Yao glanced at him with a complicated look on her face. Moments later, she said jokingly, "If I didn't know better, I would have thought you installed a surveillance camera on me."
Min Yu chuckled and shook his head. "Your foster mother's family has a simple problem. It's not hard to guess."
Huo Yao cupped her fists at him like a chivalrous woman from ancient times. "Please take care of my things. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Min Yu raised his brow. "You trust me that much?"
Huo Yao had already turned around to leave. When she heard his question, she could not help turning sideways. A gentle breeze blew her hair against her face. She raised her hand and tucked it behind her ear. Her eyes landed on Min Yu's face nonchalantly. She smiled ambiguously and said, "It's not worth much anyway."
