Huo Yao looked at Zhuo Yun and said calmly, “There’s no need to explain. I won’t judge you for attending matchmaking sessions.”
Zhuo Yun: “…”
He genuinely was not here for the matchmaking event!
Min Yu’s eyes landed on Huo Yao’s face. He ambiguously smiled as he said, “Places like this don’t seem like your style.”
Huo Yao pursed her lips and shrugged as she replied. “I had no choice. I couldn’t stay home, so I came with my second older brother for his matchmaking session.”
Min Yu raised his brow. “Is your second older brother here for the matchmaking event?”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao nodded. Her eyes landed on the activity nearby. She veered her eyes away before she turned to look at Min Yu and asked teasingly., “Is your family forcing you to get married?”
She had clearly assumed that he was here to attend the event too.
Min Yu gestured at his mask and spoke in a lazy tone. “Have you seen anyone go for matchmaking wearing this?”
Huo Yao nodded. In hindsight, even if his family wanted him to get married, he would not have to come for matchmaking, considering his dashing good looks.
“You can come over to my place if you need some peace and quiet. Just swing by to have your fingerprint input done,” said Min Yu.
He was answering in response to how Huo Yao said she could not hang out at home.
Huo Yao waved her hand without taking it to heart. “Thanks. It’s fine.”
After Zhuo Yun heard Min Yu’s reaction, he made a mental note to give Huo Yao access to the door. He had to make the arrangements as soon as possible, even if Huo Yao turned down Min Yu’s offer.
Huo Yao looked at them casually. “Since you aren’t here for matchmaking, what are you doing here?”
“We are looking for someone,” replied Min Yu calmly.
“Oh. Have you found who you were looking for?” asked Huo Yao randomly.
“Nope,” said Min Yu before he turned to look at Huo Yao perplexedly.
The old man sent the address, but they strangely ended up bumping into Huo Yao. It was clearly no coincidence.
Huo Yao failed to notice Min Yu looking at her. She naturally did not think they were here looking for her.
After all, they were next-door neighbors, and this neighbor of hers did not do stupid things.
“Then, carry on with your search,” said Huo Yao.
Zhuo Yun asked her. “Miss Huo, have you seen any elderly old men hanging around here?”
Elderly men?
Huo Yao contemplated before she shook her head. “Nope.”
“Okay then.” Even though Zhuo Yun knew that he might hear this, he could not help feeling disappointed.
The Old Master sure was mischievous.
The moment they talked about elderly men, Huo Yao recalled the old man who had scammed his way into her home. Her eyes turned a little dark before she said casually, “Most of the people in the park today are young men and women.”
“Uh huh.” Zhuo Yun nodded before he turned to look at his boss. He cleared his throat and hinted. “Yu, why don’t you hang out with Miss Huo while I look around inside the park?”
Min Yu glanced at him and softly said, “Uh huh.”
Zhuo Yun quickly disappeared out of sight.
Huo Yao straightened out her trench coat before she sat back on the bench behind her.
Huo Yao raised her head to look at Min Yu standing in front of her. She contemplated for two seconds before she retrieved a pack of tissue from her bag and cleaned the spot beside her on the bench, and patted it. “It’s all clean now.”
Min Yu raised his brow as he looked at her. He sat down beside her without saying anything.
Since he had a powerful aura, he faintly seemed unapproachable when he sat on the bench casually.
Huo Yao looked sideways. She was unaffected by his aura. Instead, she looked at him teasingly. “Exactly what do you do for a living?”
