In a private room of a private restaurant.
Huo Yao stood up slightly and poured Min Yu a cup of tea.
Min Yu tapped his fingers on the table gently. The coldness in his eyes faded away as he looked at Huo Yao. "Why did you suddenly decide to treat me to dinner?"
Huo Yao leaned back in her chair lazily. "The food here is pretty good."
"That's it?" Min Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip. He sounded a little disappointed.
Huo Yao raised her brow. She contemplated for a moment before she replied. "I'm quite busy with the meeting. I don't think I have time to come out."
There was indeed no time for the military training that lasted for half a month.
Min Yu nodded understandingly. "Have you registered for the program?"
"Yes, in the morning." Huo Yao replied softly. She rested her chin on her hand and casually fiddled with the necklace around her neck in a languid manner.
Min Yu lowered his eyes, revealing his deep gaze. He picked up the teacup and took another sip.
At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the dishes. After the dishes were served, the waiter quickly left.
"Try it. If you like it, you can come back next time." Huo Yao sat up straight and picked up the chopsticks.
Min Yu smiled. His voice was a little hoarse as he replied softly. "Okay."
"Oh yes. How's Old Master doing?" asked Huo Yao as she picked up a piece of pork rib.
Min Yu raised his brow and looked at Huo Yao. "Uh huh. He was talking about you a couple of days ago and wanted to invite you over for dinner."
Huo Yao did not even look up. Instead, she raised her hand and waved it off. "I really don't have time. Please thank the old man on my behalf."
Min Yu knew this would be the answer, so he didn't force it.
After dinner, Huo Yao went to the bathroom. On her way back, she went to the front desk to pay the bill. The moment she gave the room number, the waiter came back and told her that the bill was ready.
Huo Yao's hand paused in the middle of tapping on the WeChat payment code. She caressed the screen before she switched off her phone and placed it in her pocket before returning to the private room.
"I promised to treat you." Huo Yao looked at Min Yu and sighed as she picked up her bag from the chair.
Min Yu raised his brow and stood up from his chair. "It will be the same next time."
"That's a trick," said Huo Yao playfully.
Min Yu nodded. His eyes landed on Huo Yao's face as he replied solemnly. "Otherwise, how could I catch fish?"
Huo Yao's lips twitched. She said nothing and turned to leave.
Min Yu's lips curved into a smile as he watched her from behind.
After they walked out of the restaurant, Min Yu glanced at his watch and turned to ask Huo Yao. "What are you doing this afternoon?"
Huo Yao thought about the dumb robot at home and replied casually. "Just... going home to rest."
"I'll drive you back," said Min Yu.
"It's okay. Someone is giving me a lift." Huo Yao did not miss his action of checking the time. She took out her phone and sent Cheng Ming a text. Cheng Ming nodded.
Min Yu pondered for a few seconds and did not press the issue.
A few minutes later, Cheng Ming drove over. Huo Yao raised her brow and waved at Min Yu before quickly getting into the car.
After the car drove away, Min Yu walked to the parking lot and drove away.
**
Cheng Ming glanced at the rearview mirror in the car. He was curious about how Huo Yao and Min Yu knew each other.
He had sent people to investigate before, but they couldn't find anything.
