Huo Yao was about to ask where the light switch was when she sensed someone holding her by the waist. She was leaning against the door on her back and she could smell Min Yu’s familiar musky fragrance.
“That’s right. This is my place.” Min Yu answered Huo Yao’s question in a husky voice.
In the darkness, he held her palm with his left hand accurately. Her fingers were slightly curled, so he slipped his fingers through hers and their fingers became interlaced.
The temperature in the room increased gradually until someone finally pressed the bell and interrupted them. Min Yu reluctantly let go of her hand before pressing the light switch on the wall.
The darkness instantly disappeared. Huo Yao’s face no longer looked pale. Color was gradually returning to it, especially her lips. The hoodie covering her head made her look adorable.
Min Yu could not resist lowering his head and giving her another peck. He pulled her aside slightly. “Dinner is here.”
Zhuo Yun was here with dinner. When no one answered the door, he wanted to call Min Yu. However, the door happened to open, so he raised his head and said, “Hi, Yu…”
As he greeted his boss, he caught the cold look Min Yu was shooting at him, making him instantly swallow his words.
Was Min Yu in a bad mood?
Zhuo Yun suddenly wondered if he had come at the wrong time. He secretly glanced behind the open door.
“Give it to me.” Min Yu spoke indifferently.
“Oh yes.” Zhuo Yun did not manage to see anything. He gathered his thoughts and handed Min Yu the take-out boxes in his hand.
Min Yu took them indifferently and shut the door.
Zhuo Yun shrank his hand back after nearly jamming it in the door. He scratched his head in bewilderment.
Did he offend his boss today?
Zhuo Yun stood at the door for some time, but could not wrap his mind around it. He could only leave perplexedly.

Huo Yao changed into a pair of slippers and walked further into the apartment. She scrutinized the whole place. Every corner of the house looked luxurious. She could not help but sigh in admiration.
‘Min Yu came back in and placed the take-out boxes on the table before calling Huo Yao to come over for dinner.
“Okay,” answered Huo Yao mildly. After washing her hands, she pulled out a chair and sat down. Min Yu gave her a bowl and chopsticks and she took them calmly.
She kept convincing herself not to feel awkward.
Min Yu raised his brow and sat down in front of her.
The two of them were quietly eating when Huo Yao suddenly received a text notification on her phone halfway through dinner. She retrieved her phone from her pocket.
It was an audio message from her third older brother.
Huo Yao simply played the audio in front of Min Yu.
It was a short and simple message lasting only for a few seconds. He was basically telling her that he was busy and would not be home tonight.

Huo Yao replied with an okay and placed her phone aside before continuing with dinner.
Min Yu sat across from her. He unhurriedly took a piece of pork ribs for Huo Yao. There was no unusual expression on his face, but his eyes seemed slightly darker than usual upon closer scrutiny.
After eating, Min Yu told Huo Yao to sit in the living room and made no mention of sending her back.
Huo Yao did not take it to heart and simply curled up on the couch to watch some television.
Before long, it was already past 9:00 pm. Huo Yao kept yawning and felt a little sleepy. She tured off the television and looked around the living room, but failed to see Min Yu, so she stood up quizzically.
Min Yu was in the study making a call with the door open. Huo Yao walked over in her wooly slippers. When she heard him talking on the phone, she stood outside without walking in..
