1756 Led Away
“Even though it’s a cocktail, it still contains alcohol.” After taking the glass from Huo Yao, Min Yu held a glass of juice and made her take it.
Huo Yao glanced at the glass of juice in her hand and looked at someone. “Why are you here?”
Min Yu was dressed in a black tuxedo with gold embroidery from his chest to the bottom of his jacket. It matched Huo Yao’s retro, long dress making it look like a couple’s outfit.
The two of them were gorgeous and looked good standing together.
“Count Kerr also sent me an invitation.” Min Yu elegantly raised his wine glass and took a sip of its contents.
“Why didn’t you say so yesterday?” As Huo Yao spoke, she glanced up and down at Min Yu. “To be honest, did you deliberately plan this?”
Min Yu sighed pretentiously. “My girlfriend is too pretty, so I was afraid someone might try to steal her.”
Huo Yao rolled her eyes and did not want to talk to him at all.
Min Yu smiled and put down the wine glass. He picked up the plate of snacks on the table, took the fork, and held some food by Huo Yao’s mouth. “A group of super assassins is at the count’s residence.”
His voice was so soft that only Huo Yao could hear it.
“Super assassins?” Huo Yao looked up slightly without the slightest expression on her face. She simply opened her mouth and ate the food.
“Uh huh. All of them have been physically modified using medicine. The amount of damage they can deal is a level higher than normal assassins.” Min Yu explained calmly as though he was talking about something mundane.
Some bad memories struck Huo Yao upon hearing this. After some time, Huo Yao gathered her thoughts and said, “No matter how good they are, they are still human.”
Min Yu raised his brow. “That’s true.”
He did not continue with the subject and held another piece of snack to Huo Yao’s mouth.
Huo Yao was quiet.
Morey found out that Min Yu had arrived at the banquet. He stopped talking to the guests and walked over.
“Young Master Min, welcome.” Morey walked over and smiled, nodding to Min Yu. He casually glanced at Huo Yao standing beside him.
When he first saw the young woman at the Weapons Bureau, Morey simply felt she gave off a cool aura. Now that he could see her up close, a look of amazement swept across his eyes.
She was beautiful. No wonder Min Yu fell for her.
Min Yu looked at Morey and nodded mildly. “Count Kerr.”
Morey detected Min Yu’s gaze and hurriedly veered his eyes. After chatting briefly, he thought about Fan Shun’s arrangements and said, “I have something to say to you. Do you mind?”
He pointed at the side hall.
Min Yu looked up at Huo Yao.
Huo Yao waved her hand and responded thoughtfully. “Just go.”
Min Yu raised his brow. He turned to look profoundly at Morey. “Please take good care of my girlfriend then.”
Morey thought Min Yu would never agree. His eyes glinted before he nodded and replied. “You have my word.”
He gestured for his wife to come over.
After Countess Kerr came over, Morey led Min Yu away.
In reality, he did not expect Min Yu to come today. However, this would not affect his plan.
She was just a woman after all.
**
Countess Kerr was a princess of royalty. She had an innately distinguished aura. The moment she caught sight of Huo Yao, she looked equally astonished.
She thought about what her husband wanted to do and could not help feeling sorry for Huo Yao.
