Huo Yao walked out of the private room. “How did you know I was eating with my friends?” She automatically raised her head and looked outside as she spoke.
Other than the restaurant employees walking around occasionally, there was no sign of her father.
“Ahem. A friend of mine spotted you at the restaurant,” said Huo Jinyan somewhat guiltily.
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Oh, really?”
“Uh huh. Why don’t you go back to lunch with your friends? Don’t let me hold you up,” said Huo Jinyan before hanging up the phone.
“I’m actually having lunch with my tuition teacher,” explained Huo Yao as she shook her head before her father hung up.
Huo Jinyan hurriedly said, “Was it the tuition teacher who gave me two boxes of tea?”
Huo Yao nodded.
“Hey! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I wanted to buy him dinner,” said Huo Jinyan in surprise.
Huo Yao turned to look at the private room. “Don’t bother, Dad. He’s probably not free.”
“How can that be? Go ask him when he’s free. We have to thank him for giving you tuition and giving us such expensive tea,” said Huo Jinyan solemnly.
“Maybe some other time. I’m going back to eat now,” muttered Huo Yao before quickly hanging up.
Would it not mean spending more money if they had to buy Min Yu dinner?
Hell no.
Huo Yao quickly went back to the private room. Her phone beeped with a new text message after she sat down. She glanced at its contents and pressed her forehead in agony.
Huo Yao raised her head to look at Min Yu after inhaling deeply. She raised her head and asked Min Yu solemnly. “Dad wants to buy you dinner to thank you for the tea. If you are not free, I’ll just tell him no.”
Min Yu’s lips twitched.
“Cough cough…” Zhuo Yun almost got choked by the tea he just drank.
It was as good as not asking.
“I’m free tomorrow,” replied Min Yu.
Huo Yao raised her brow. “I’m not free tomorrow. I have to go for a shoot.”
“Shoot? Shoot what?” asked Zhuo Yun curiously.
Min Yu looked at her too.
“It’s a live telecast program called ‘Countryside Life With My Family’,” explained Huo Yao.
Zhuo Yun took out his phone and searched for the show. He instantly got a few hits for it and started to do some reading.
He discovered that it was a live stream program about celebrities experiencing countryside life with their families.
“The show looks interesting,” commented Zhuo Yun.
“Watch it if you can,” said Huo Yao casually.
Zhuo Yun nodded. He read the description of the show. “Why isn’t your name on it?”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “It will appear tomorrow.”
“Cool. What time does it start airing tomorrow?” asked Zhuo Yun.
“I think around 10:00 am.” Huo Yao remembered Tong Yu mentioning it.
Zhuo Yun took note of the time. Then he downloaded the live broadcast application, which the show was going to get aired on.
The waiter came in with their orders before long.
Zhuo Yun headed out to foot the bill after they were done.
He handed the card and bill to the cashier. She stood up when she saw the private room number and said politely, “Sir, the bill has been settled.”
Zhuo Yun was stunned. “Are you sure?”
