Min Yu leaned against the bench with his long slender legs crossed. He looked really laid-back at the moment. He gave off the airs of a rich man’s son as he said sadly, “I’m just a sickly jobless man living off my parents.”
Huo Yao glanced at him. He resided in a luxurious villa and had two bodyguards. How could he still insist that he was a jobless man?
He was even better at pretending than she was.
Huo Yao’s phone rang in her pocket. She pulled it out unhurriedly to see that it was her mother calling, so she answered quickly.
“How’s the matchmaking going for your brother?”
Huo Yao raised her head with the phone in hand. She looked at the matchmaking event nearby. Since there were a lot of participants, she was unable to spot Huo Tingrui right away. She replied vaguely. “Okay, I guess.”
Song Ning instantly felt relieved when she heard this. She smiled and said, “Great! I was worried that he lied about going for the matchmaking event.”
“Nope. He’s right here,” replied Huo Yao with honesty.
“Oh yes! Did you happen to see a young woman dressed in a yellow jacket? She has long hair and is quite pretty.” Song Ning paused before she added. “She’s also wearing a cartoon brooch on her chest.”
Huo Yao touched her nose and asked. “Is that Brother Tingrui’s blind date?”
“Uh huh. She’s my friend’s daughter. I will send you her picture in a minute. If you see her, try to get your older brother to take the initiative to chat with her,” said Song Ning.
“Sure,” replied Huo Yao.
Song Ning hung up and sent Huo Yao the picture before long.
The girl in the picture was about 23 to 24 years old. She was pretty and gave off a candid and spunky aura.
Huo Yao stood up and turned to look at Min Yu before she explained calmly. “I have to head off to complete a mission.”
“Sure,” replied Min Yu gently. He contemplated before he asked. “When will you be done?”
“Erm...” replied Huo Yao in confusion. “I don’t know either. If you are busy, then go ahead.” She headed towards the matchmaking event.
A couple of steps later, Min Yu called her. “Hang on.”
Huo Yao turned to look at him quizzically. “Huh?”
Min Yu stood up and walked up to her unhurriedly. He retrieved a mask of the same design that he was wearing from his pocket. “I think you’ll want to wear this.”
Huo Yao’s eyes landed in his hands. She was stunned momentarily before she composed herself. Her eyes lit up and she smiled.
Huo Yao extended her fair, slender hand and inadvertently touched Min Yu’s fingers. Huo Yao froze for a moment before she took the mask and put it on nonchalantly. She waved to Min Yu coolly. ” Thanks.”
Min Yu stood where he was while he watched her from behind with a profound look in his eyes. His fingertips had curled slightly.
Zhuo Yun came back after checking inside the park to see his boss standing there alone. He automatically asked. “Has Miss Huo left?”
“Uh huh,” replied Min Yu softly.
Zhuo Yun touched his nose. He felt that his boss seemed to be in a rather good mood today.
Zhuo Yun cleared his throat and said, “I checked inside the park. There was no sign of the Old Master.”
Min Yu narrowed his eyes and said calmly, “He’s not here.”
