Chapter 817: A Trick To Make Her Come Out
Huo Yao got up slightly to pour Min Yu a cup of tea when he reached the private home-cooking restaurant’s private room.
Min Yu tapped his fingers on the table. The coldness in his eyes disappeared as he looked at Huo Yao. “Why are you suddenly treating me to lunch?”
Huo Yao leaned into the seat lazily. “The food here is pretty good.”
“Is that all?” Min Yu sounded a little sad as he picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.
Huo Yao raised her brow and pondered before she added. “Things will get busy for me once school starts, so I probably can’t come out as much.”
Since the military training lasted half a month, she could not come out during this time.
Min Yu nodded when he heard this. “Have you reported to school yet?”
“Uh huh. In the morning,” acknowledged Huo Yao as she leaned against her chin and touched her necklace languidly.
Min Yu lowered his eyes before he took another sip of tea.
The waiter knocked on the door and sent their food in. After placing the food on the table, he left quickly.
“Try it. If you like, we can come here again next time.” Huo Yao straightened her body to pick up the chopsticks as she told Min Yu to start eating.
Min Yu smiled and acknowledged deeply. “Sure.”
“Oh yes. How is Old Master Min’s health?” Huo Yao took a piece of pork ribs and made small talk.
Min Yu raised his brow and glanced at Huo Yao. “He’s fine. He was talking about you a couple of days ago when I saw him. He wants you to come over for dinner.”
Huo Yao did not raise her head. She simply waved her hand to turn him down. “I don’t have time. Please help me thank him for the invitation.”
Min Yu had known that she would say this, so he did not insist.
After lunch, Huo Yao headed to the bathroom. Since she was out, she walked up to the reception to settle the bill. A waiter happened to walk out from her private room and told her that the bill was already settled when she told him her room number.
Huo Yao was opening her payment application to make an online payment when her hand froze. She rubbed the screen before turning her phone off and putting it in her pocket. Then she headed back to the private room.
“I said I wanted to buy you lunch.” Huo Yao looked at Min Yu as she sighed and took her bag from the chair.
Min Yu raised his brow and stood up. “You can do it next time.”
“It’s just an excuse to make me eat with you again,” said Huo Yao teasingly.
Min Yu nodded. He looked at Huo Yao with his deep eyes and said solemnly, “Otherwise, how can I get the girl to come out?”
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. She said nothing and turned to head out.
Min Yu smiled slightly from behind as he looked at her.
After walking out of the restaurant, Min Yu checked the time and turned to ask Huo Yao. “What plans do you have in the afternoon?”
Huo Yao thought about the stupid smart robot butler at home and said, “I plan on staying at home to rest.”
“In that case, I’ll drive,” said Min Yu.
“It’s fine. I have a chauffeur today.” Huo Yao noticed Min Yu checking the time. The moment she finished her sentence, she took out her phone and texted Chen Ming.
Min Yu contemplated for a couple of seconds but did not insist.
Before long, Chen Ming drove over with the car. Huo Yao raised her brow as she waved goodbye to Min Yu and got into the car.
Min Yu watched the car disappear into the distance before he went back to the parking lot to drive off.

Chen Ming glanced into the rearview mirror. He was genuinely curious how Miss Huo became acquainted with someone from the Min family.
He had asked someone to investigate this, but it was impossible to gather any intel about this matter.
