Huo Yao Takes Advantage Of Him Yet Again

Zhuo Yun looked sideways and said, "Huang Yin just sent me a text message."2

Yang Yi picked up the phone and looked at it. His solemn face looked puzzled. "Consider it a gift?"

"Is he trying to show goodwill?" Zhuo Yun held the steering wheel as he tried to figure out the person's intention.

Min Yu tapped his fingers and asked him. "What time is it?"

Zhuo Yun was caught by surprise before he replied to say it was 11:00 pm and asked him quizzically. "Is the timing of the text message important?"

Min Yu glanced at Zhuo Yun before he veered his eyes away and rested them.

Yang Yi rolled his eyes at the idiot.

Zhuo Yun went speechless. "…"

The car arrived at the estate 30 minutes later.

Min Yu placed his jacket on the couch before he headed to the fridge for a bottle of water.

After heading back to the living room, he glanced at his phone on the coffee table and bent over to pick it up.

He tapped on it to see a few message notifications.

He realized that Huo Yao sent him a text around two hours ago.

Min Yu raised his brows. His fingers hovered over the text message, but he did not reply. Instead, he turned off the phone.

The kid should be already in bed by now.

The next day

Huo Yao got up first thing in the morning as usual. She glanced at her phone on the table before turning to walk to the closet and retrieved a set of sportswear.

She left the villa and started jogging around the lake.

Since it was early in the morning, barely anyone else was exercising like her. Only a few people could be seen occasionally and most of them were familiar faces.

Huo Yao ran a few rounds before she slowed down. Her fair face looked flushed after the workout. However, her breathing remained even and she was not gasping for air.

She checked her wristwatch and started to run in the direction of her home.

The cold wind swept past, leaving her loose hair fluttering in the wind. Huo Yao suddenly detected something in the air and narrowed her eyes. She turned and took one step back. "It's you?"

She was caught by surprise to see Min Yu's face, but she quickly regained composure.

Min Yu was about to place his hand on Huo Yao's shoulder when she turned around and interrupted him. He naturally put his hand down and said, "Are you exercising?"

Huo Yao glanced at him before continuing to head home. "Why don't you go ahead? I am going home."

Min Yu raised his brow slightly when Huo Yao seemed reluctant to talk to him. Instead, he followed behind her. "I went out last night and left my home phone behind."

Huo Yao did not halt and simply acknowledged him softly.

Min Yu walked up to her side with his eyes looking straight ahead. "You said something about needing my help."

Huo Yao contemplated before she looked at him sideways. "I need some Chinese medicine."

Min Yu did not hesitate and replied immediately. "Sure. Just send me the list."

Huo Yao paused and an awkward look suddenly appeared on her face. "… They might be a little expensive and hard to find."

Min Yu's lips twitched when she talked about how much the herbs were worth. They were probably not that hard to find. Instead, they must be quite expensive.

He cleared his throat and replied. "I will do my best to obtain them at the lowest price."

Huo Yao raised her brow and added. "… Also, I might need a large quantity."

Min Yu looked at her with his deep eyes. "Sure. That's fine."

"Then, thanks." Huo Yao waved her hand. "Bye-bye."

She walked nimbly through the doors of her villa.

Min Yu smiled mildly as he shook his head and headed back next door.
