1747 Stupid Shameless Man!
Shangguan Yun turned toward the door stiffly. He did not know since when Huo Yao and Min Yu had been standing there.
Oh god!
Huo Yao leaned against the door casually, smiling ambiguously. “Mean? Nothing good about me, hmm?”
Shangguan Yun trembled instantly. He hurriedly explained. “No. You heard wrongly. I was trying to say that you’re flawless in every way!”
“My hearing is just fine.” Huo Yao picked her ear. “From the looks of it, you have a big problem with me.”
“No such thing.” Shangguan Yun shook his head desperately. If he could, he would crack open his chest to show Huo Yao his heart to prove his innocence.
Huo Yao raised her brow. She glanced slowly at the three boxes of study material lying on the carpet without saying a word.
Shangguan Yun hurriedly retrieved a book. “…I’m going to read now.”
Zhuo Yun sighed inwardly. Very well. The boy’s status was also evident now.
Huo Yao did not enter the hospital ward. Instead, she raised her head looking at the man standing by the side. Before she could say a word, his voice could be heard.
“What status? Is it more important than my girlfriend?”
Min Yu looked at her deeply and spoke in a gentle, doting tone.
Huo Yao looked at him for some time before holding up her thumb.
She certainly was not as shameless as him.
Min Yu smiled. He raised his hand and touched Huo Yao’s head lovingly.
Shangguan Yun quietly turned his head and saw the scene at the door. He did not know what to say.
He was a stupid shameless man!
At this moment, a phone ring could be heard.
It was Huo Yao’s phone.
She took out her phone to check it. It was an unknown number from Country M, no less.
Huo Yao pondered briefly and walked out of the hospital ward to answer the phone.
It was a call from the old butler at the Huo residence. “Miss Huo, are you free now?”
When Huo Yao heard the butler’s voice, she asked. “Hmmm?”
The old butler glanced at Huo Qing sitting in the side hall. “Do you remember the third councilor I mentioned to you a couple of days ago? It’s your uncle, Huo Qing. He wants to see you. He’s waiting for you at the residence.”
Huo Yao stayed at the hospital for a couple of days without going home. However, she remembered the uncle that the old butler mentioned previously.
She paused and said, “Okay. Got it. Be back in 30 minutes.”
First, at the hospital. Now, at the residence. Since there was no avoiding him, she would rather go find out what plot he was brewing.
The old butler heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he did not know why Huo Qing insisted on seeing Miss Huo, he was glad that she did not say no without a second thought. Otherwise, it would seem rude on her part.
After hanging up the phone, the old butler walked to the side hall. “Master Qing, Miss Huo says she’ll be here in 30 minutes.”
Huo Qing put down the teacup in his hand with an obvious look of surprise.
He did not expect the lass to agree to come back so easily. Initially, he thought it might need more effort on his part.
Fortunately, she knew better, so he did not have to resort to something else.
Huo Qing pursed his lips and said to the old butler, “Good. I’m waiting here.”
…
Huo Yao put away her phone and turned to look at Min Yu. “I need to go back home. Can you help me keep an eye out here?”
Even though Xie had secured the entire floor, she would feel less worried if the Weapons Bureau’s chairman could keep an eye on things here.
Min Yu looked solemnly at Huo Yao. “Did something happen?”
Huo Yao shrugged. “Nothing. I just need to handle an uncle.”
Min Yu quickly nodded. “Okay then. Just go. I’m a call away.”
Huo Yao raised her hand and gestured okay.
She turned to leave.
