Chapter 1266: Very Low Status In The Family
??
Huo Yao raised her head and glanced at the man sitting in front of the dining table. She told Wang Jing that she was fine before ending the conversation.
“Did you help me apply for a sick leave?” asked Huo Yao after putting down the phone.
Min Yu acknowledged softly. “You were sleeping soundly at the time.”
Huo Yao nodded. She was almost done with breakfast, so she leaned into the seat backrest casually. Her face looked a lot better this morning.
“Everyone at the National Academy of Medicine is talking about it.” Min Yu looked at Huo Yao as he spoke.
Huo Yao shrugged and said, “Did they have to overreact?”
“The system got hacked and research was lost. I hear that some new medical solution was also destroyed. Since you and your brother were involved, I have to say I’m very impressed.” Min Yu tapped his fingers gently with his hands on the table.
“How can you say it was me? I didn’t do it.” Huo Yao denied it without so much as batting an eye.
As long as she refused to admit it, he could not pin it on her.
Min Yu’s lips twitched. Moments later, he finally asked. “Were you looking for something?”
Huo Yao wanted to ask Huo Yulin the same question. What did he want from the place? Was it worth taking such a huge risk?
Huo Yulin ended up getting badly injured from his little escapade last night.
Huo Yao rubbed her brow and remained quiet. She refused to tell him anything.
Min Yu just knew that she would react this way. He shook his head without saying another word. He stood up to clear the table and carried the dishes to the kitchen.
Huo Yao watched from behind. She could tell that he did not seem very happy.
Huo Yao automatically got up and went to the kitchen entrance. She leaned against the kitchen door and hesitated for some time. “Are you angry with me?”
Min Yu placed the used cutlery inside the dishwasher and pressed the start button. He raised his head and said deeply, “I would never dare throw a temper at you.”
Huo Yao was spot on. He was speaking rhetorically.
Huo Yao did not feel like giving in. She cleared her throat and nodded. “I’m glad we are on the same page.”
Min Yu went speechless.
Huo Yao adjusted her standing posture and raised her head a little higher as she looked at him candidly.
Min Yu’s temples throbbed. He could suddenly envision himself having a low status in the family if they got married.
He laughed out loud before he left the dishwasher alone and walked toward her.
The kitchen entrance was relatively wide but it suddenly felt very narrow with two people standing there.
Huo Yao stood in front of Min Yu and made eye contact with him. She was standing with her back straight, but she instantly felt scared and turned her head. Her phone suddenly rang from the table, breaking the awkwardness.
“I’m going to answer the phone.” Huo Yao wanted to take the opportunity to run away.
The moment she tried to leave, Min Yu held her by the arm and pulled her back. In an instant, Min Yu grabbed her by the waist and they became very close to each other.
“Don’t you know how to coax me?” Min Yu used his other hand to tuck some loose hair behind her ear.
