Pei Feng did not know whether to drink or not and felt increasingly awkward standing there.
He could tell that Young Master Min was exceptionally distant to him and was deliberately ignoring him.
Pei Feng was taken aback. After finishing the wine in his glass, he said, “Young Master Min, you are welcome to come to our place anytime.”
“Uh huh.” Min Yu responded without raising his head. He clearly seemed to be irritated.
Huo Yao raised her head to look at Min Yu before she glanced at Pei Feng.
Pei Feng instantly frowned when he saw Huo Yao looking at him.
In the past, Min Yu’s attitude towards Pei Feng was courteous on account of his father, but today…
Pei Feng could not help looking at Huo Yao. He had a feeling that the girl had backbitten him in front of Min Yu.
Pei Feng did not like Huo Yao to begin with, and his impression of her deteriorated further.
Yi Lianfan had shed his chef’s robes and walked out to the main hall. He glanced around before he walked over to Huo Yao’s table.
Yi Lianfan nodded politely to Pei Feng. “Uncle Pei.”
His voice broke Pei Feng’s awkwardness.
Pei Feng composed himself and smiled genially. “Lianfan, you are getting better and better at this. Good job.”
Yi Lianfan pursed his lips and replied modestly. “It’s really just average. You are too kind.”
Yi Lianfan looked at Huo Yao and noticed Min Yu sitting beside her.
He was not acquainted with Min Yu and had only seen him once from a distance. However, he had a deep impression of him since Min Yu had an incredibly powerful aura. Hence, Yi Lianfan spotted Min Yu in the crowd right away.
Yi Lianfan paused before he pulled out the chair next to Huo Yao and sat down. He did not speak as formally as Pei Feng. “Huo Yao, what do you think of my cooking?”
His eyes were clean and bright and bore the innocence of a teenager.
Min Yu glanced at Yi Lianfan calmly from the side.
A classmate?
Huo Yao put down her chopsticks and nodded. “It was good. It was much better than the cooking I tried at the restaurant. You have already mastered everything.”
Yi Lianfan could not help feeling honored when Huo Yao praised him. A blush quickly rose on his face. “There’s plenty more I need to learn.”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “You’re talented at this. Why don’t you try reading more books about Chinese medicine?”
Yi Lianfan contemplated and said, “What do you recommend?”
“Why don’t I send you a list of books via text? You can buy them at a bookstore or borrow them from the library,” suggested Huo Yao.
Yi Lianfan straightened his back and replied. “Sure.”
Huo Yao smiled before she picked up her chopsticks again.
Pei Feng heard the entire conversation. It did not cross his mind that Huo Yao was schoolmates with Old Mr. Yi’s grandson. Also, Old Mr. Yi’s grandson clearly admired Huo Yao.
Pei Feng promptly looked at Huo Yao as a wave of emotions flooded his eyes.
Was she not a normal middle school student who was slightly knowledgeable about Chinese medicine? Why was everyone treating her like she was someone special?
Pei Feng awkwardly lowered his eyes. Since Min Yu was treating him like an invisible man, he was too embarrassed to stay there any longer. Just as he was about to leave quietly, his father walked over.
Old Mr. Pei looked anxious. The moment he walked over, he told Pei Feng, “There’s an important patient waiting for us at home, so we have to go.”
