Why was Min Yu’s heart feeling stifled?
Huo Yao touched her chin and contemplated before she replied: [I will check on you when I’m free.]
Min Yu: [Sure. Thanks for taking the trouble.]
Huo Yao only replied with an emoticon and quickly ended the conversation.
Huo Yao’s phone vibrated again when she lay down on the bed and wanted to get some shut-eye.
It was a text from her third older brother.
Lin: [Is the contest over?]
Huo Yao lay prone on the bed and said: [Yeah.]
Lin: [I still have a gift for you. Swing by my place. I’ll send my assistant to pick you up at the hotel.]
Huo Yulin glanced at the three huge boxes on the ground before sending the text.
Huo Yao slid her fingers over the screen and caught sight of a notification about the huge transfer Huo Yulin made to her last night. She sighed softly.
Then she replied: [Sure.]
Since he sent her so much money, it did not seem right to turn him down.
Before long, Huo Yao went downstairs with her bag.
**
Huo Yulin’s assistant was a foreigner. He was very surprised to hear Huo Yao speak English so fluently. They ended up chatting solely about Huo Yulin on their way to his place.
The car drove into a European style manor 30 minutes later.
Digital verification procedures had to be done at the manor entrance. The assistant deftly completed them before he drove through the gates.
Huo Yao was rather surprised at how modern the manor was. After she got out of the car, the assistant did not enter. Instead, he said goodbye to Huo Yao and left.
Huo Yulin brought Huo Yao into the living room. “Have a seat, Yao.”
Then he headed to the kitchen.
Huo Yao did not sit down right away. She looked at the smart system in the living room intriguingly. Since the smart robot detected a stranger in the living room, it came over and an alarm sound started to emit from it.
Huo Yao raised her brow. She pressed a metal button at the top of its head, and it instantly went quiet.
Huo Yulin had just come out with a drink from the fridge. He was caught by surprise by what he saw. He walked over and asked her quizzically. “Do you know how to operate robots?”
Huo Yao glanced at the robot beside her and shook her head, and replied. “It’s my first time seeing one.
Huo Yulin did not put much thought into what she said and handed her a drink.
Huo Yao carefully took the drink from him without touching him. Also, she kept a one meter distance between them the entire time. “Thanks, Brother Yulin.”
Huo Yulin pursed his lips. Then he pushed the three huge boxes over. “What do you think about this?”
Huo Yao had just opened the bottle cap and taken a sip of water when she saw the three boxes. Her temples throbbed as she wondered whether they were plush toys in there.
She put her drink on the coffee table before she walked over and slowly opened a box. Her expression froze when she caught sight of books, assessments, and test papers.
Huo Yao opened the other boxes one by one to see more study material for each subject. She was completely dumbfounded and did not know what to say.
“Brother Tingrui said you liked to study. I’m not sure if you’ll find this material useful. If they aren’t suitable, I can get my assistant to obtain more,” said Huo Yulin slowly.
He sounded serious about getting the assistant to immediately find her more material if she did not like them.
Huo Yao’s lips twitched uncontrollably when she heard Huo Tingrui’s name again.
