1693 A Narcissist
It was already afternoon when Huo Yao woke up again. The other side of the bed felt cold.
The person who had asked her to sleep with him had clearly gotten up much earlier.
She pressed her throbbing head and quickly sat up. A light-colored women’s outfit could be seen on the chair by the side. Also, a pair of slippers had been placed at the foot of the bed.
Huo Yao paused briefly and lifted the blanket. She put on the slippers, reached her hand out to take the clothes on the chair, and went to the bathroom.
After washing up, she finally felt a lot more refreshed.
Her fair face was pink after the bath, so it no longer looked as pale as before.
Huo Yao stepped out of the bathroom after putting on the coat.
She saw Min Yu standing in front of the French windows holding his phone and typing something when she walked out. He looked relaxed and peaceful.
Huo Yao raised her brow seeing him. She was drying her hair, but her actions slowed down.
Tsk tsk. Things of beauty looked poetic from every angle.
When Min Yu detected Huo Yao’s gaze at him, he raised his head and stopped looking at his phone. He turned to walk toward her. “Are you feeling okay?”
Huo Yao glanced at him. Although it was his second time asking her this, she replied with uncharacteristic patience. “Yes, I’m good.”
Min Yu glanced at her ruddy complexion and finally believed her. “Alright then.”
He made her sit down in front of the dressing table, took out the hair dryer, and dried her hair.
Huo Yao leaned against her chin using her hands, looking at the man blow-drying her hair in the mirror. She could not help lamenting. “If those high society young ladies in the capital saw this, do you think they’d hate me…”
Min Yu slowly ran his fingers through her wavy hair. Before she was able to finish her sentence, he interrupted her. “No, they won’t.”
Huo Yao raised her brow.
“They’ll only be envious of you.” Min Yu paused and added. “Other than me, no one else can see this.”
“You narcissist.” Huo Yao glanced at him.
Min Yu laughed. When her hair was dry, he put down the hair dryer and picked up the comb by the side. He started combing her hair unhurriedly. “Oh yes. Wang is also here.”
Huo Yao had already guessed that Wang was here. She gestured for him to stop combing her hair. “I want to see him.”
Now that he mentioned it, she had not seen Wang in a long time. She wondered how he was doing physically.
Min Yu put down the comb disappointedly. “He’s downstairs.”
Huo Yao nodded and got up.
Before long, the two of them went downstairs.
Wang was talking to the tired-looking Shangguan Yun downstairs. When he saw Huo Yao walking downstairs, he promptly stopped talking and stood up. “Huo Yao, are you up already?”
Shangguan Yun’s eyes lit up. He shouted softly. “Hello.”
After saying hi, he could not help glaring at Min Yu.
This old man had gone overboard. He stole Huo Yao while he was sleeping.
As Huo Yao approached them, she glanced at Shangguan Yun and nodded politely to Wang. “Thanks for coming, Wang.”
Wang smiled, waving his hand. “I have already retired, so I have nothing better to do at home anyway. What about you? How do you feel now?”
Huo Yao made Wang sit down and said, “I’m good. I appreciate your concern.”
“I’m so glad you’re fine.” Wang was also relieved. He sighed and said, “Your little brother is such a medical expert. He knew what treatment to give at just one glance.”
