1596 Pure Disappointments
Huo Yao sat down but did not touch her chopsticks. Instead, she held her phone and went through the Powerpoint file which Wu Yue had just sent her.
Even though the data was complicated just like Wu Yue mentioned, it was simply complicated but not really hard.
Huo Yao lost interest and put down her phone after flipping through the first two pages.
She leaned against her chin and tilted her head sideways lazily as she watched Min Yu eat. Sure enough, it was far more pleasant to enjoy beauty than read the data.
Min Yu’s hands paused before he raised his head and looked at Huo Yao. “Do you like looking at me so much?”
Huo Yao nodded and said naturally, “Uh huh. I do.”
Sometimes, Huo Yao could have an incredibly thick skin.
Min Yu raised his brow. “I should count myself lucky for being handsome then.”
Huo Yao smiled and changed the subject. “When did you get here?”
“A few days ago, I had something to attend to at the last minute.” Min Yu put down the chopsticks and stopped eating. He pondered and said, “Qiao En is helping Lu Xia and she is from Mirage Base.”
Huo Yao lowered her eyes and said nothing. Instead, her aura suddenly felt intense.
It was not Min Yu’s first time seeing her angry, but it was simply more obvious this time.
Lu Xia was hateful for doing those things before her grandmother died, but it was not enough for Huo Yao to get so emotional. She probably did not even know Qiao En, so the subject of her anger was clear.
Even though he did not know for sure, he could make an intelligent guess.
“Are you done eating?” Huo Yao rapped her fingers on the table and asked hoarsely.
Min Yu could tell she did not want to talk about it, so he did not continue with the subject. Instead, he stood up and cleared the table.
Huo Yao yawned as she headed to the main room. She raised her hand and waved. “I’m going to sleep. Have an early night too. Good night.”
She did not tell him to leave and simply left him to it.
The suite was big enough for seven to eight people after all.
When the door clicked shut, Min Yu shook his head and did not know what to say. He did not know whether he should be pleased that she did not hold her guard up against him or if he should pull her back. After all, he was a grown man.

After Huo Yao had finished breakfast, Wu Yue sent her a text telling her to meet downstairs the next morning.
She replied in affirmative and handed her keycard to Min Yu. After a few minutes, she went downstairs.
In the lobby, her three senior brothers were all there and they kept yawning. They seemed a lot more energetic last night.
“Didn’t any of you get any rest last night?” Huo Yao’s lips twitched as she glanced at their dark eye rings.
Li Chenhui’s eyes were still wet. He waved at Huo Yao and did not mention he was sleepless all night out of adrenaline. “It’s probably jet lag.”
Wen Ping felt tired as well. After smiling at Huo Yao, he walked straight to a chair nearby and sat down to rest.
Wu Yue walked in through the revolving door. When he saw his students lazing around, he wanted to go over and kick them. “Wake up. The people from the Math department will be here soon. Don’t embarrass yourselves.”
“Mr. Wu, why don’t you borrow some makeup from Junior Sister to cover your dark eye circles?” Li Chenhui touched his nose and asked cheekily.
Wu Yue went speechless.
Huo Yao did not know what to say when he suddenly brought her up.
Wu Yue ignored Li Chenhui. Prof Rong was right. The boys were simply a disappointment.
His face softened as he turned to look at Huo Yao. She was far more lovable than the boys. “Why don’t you come with me to receive them?”
