1649 Jealousy
Huo Yao woke up first thing in the morning the next day. She was scheduled to visit her legendary eldest uncle, so she could not help feeling excited. She did not feel lazy one bit on this day.
After she was done washing up, she changed into a slightly more lady-like outfit and walked out of the room.
Min Yu had already woken up and was on the balcony answering the phone. He was still dressed in a robe and had yet to get changed.
Huo Yao quietly veered his eyes. She walked over to the bar and retrieved a bottle of distilled water.
After Min Yu was done talking on the phone, he stood on the balcony for some time before he turned around. He raised his eyes and saw Huo Yao leaning there casually. He promptly walked toward her. “Are you up already? That’s early.”
Huo Yao nodded. She took another sip of water. “You got up pretty early as well.”
“Old habits,” said Min Yu softly as he looked at her wet lips.
“It’s a good habit then.” Huo Yao automatically disregarded his intense staring and stood up straight.
Min Yu finally noticed her outfit today. She was dressed in a Chanel-style skirt and jacket with her long wavy hair scattered behind her. She had the aura of a young lady belonging to high society.
It was quite different from her usual casual look.
Min Yu looked at Huo Yao’s calves and frowned. “Aren’t you feeling cold?”
His girlfriend undoubtedly looked good today. However, her skirt was a little too short. The moment he laid his eyes on her straight slender calves, he could not veer his eyes.
Even though she was out to see an elder, Min Yu suggested solemnly. “I think you should change into another outfit. This one isn’t your style.”
Huo Yao did not know his true intentions. She lowered her head, looked at her outfit and asked quizzically. “Does it look bad on me?”
She thought that the elders would probably like this lady-like outfit.
Min Yu shook his head. “It looks fine. I just think that the outfit you wore yesterday looked better.”
Huo Yao’s lips twitched as she looked at Min Yu in bewilderment. “Do you expect me to wear the university uniform to see my uncle?”
Min Yu went quiet.
This was awkward.
Huo Yao did not feel like hearing any more of his opinions. She shook her head and walked off.
Min Yu cleared his throat in embarrassment.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Zhuo Yun was here to send something.
The moment the door opened, Zhuo Yun looked at Min Yu’s expressionless face and felt a little puzzled.
Did he come at the wrong time?
“Boss?” Zhuo Yun cautiously handed some breakfast and clothes to him.
Min Yu took the things from Zhuo Yun and closed the door.
Zhuo Yun watched as the door closed firmly and was completely at a loss.
…
At 9:00 am, Huo Changfeng arrived at the hotel to pick up Huo Yao. Since the residence was not located in the same location as the university, he took her on a private plane that he had already prepared in advance.
Huo Yao looked at the blue skies and clouds outside the window. She was still a little nervous, but remained calm on the surface.
Huo Changfeng came over with a glass of fresh juice. He handed it to Huo Yao and sat down beside her. He smiled and said, “I’m sure your uncle is very happy today.”
Yesterday, when he called Master Jinfeng about this, his tone promptly changed. For the first time in his life, he sounded nervous and at a loss.
Huo Changfeng had never seen Master Jinfeng react this way. He felt happy and surprised by Master Jinfeng’s reaction.
