Lei Xiao had yet to respond even after some time. After Huo Yao was done doing the final step, she held the A4 paper in mid-air at the camera.

Just as she was about to speak, she looked up and saw that only her live feed was visible on the screen and Lei Xiao’s screen had gone completely black.

Huo Yao was clueless as to why it happened.

Min Yu’s hand reached over from behind, so Huo Yao instinctively moved to the side and finally noticed that someone was sitting behind her.

Huo Yao was briefly stunned. When did he show up? Why did she not notice his presence at all?

She turned to look at the plate in Min Yu’s hand with only one slice of apple left on it.

Huo Yao finally realized what had happened. She quietly veered her eyes and raised her hand to rub her forehead. She did not know what to say. Was she simply too focused? Or was she completely accustomed to his presence?

Meanwhile, coughing could be heard coming from over the phone along with the sound of a chair dragging.

Huo Yao put down her hand and quickly ended the video call without speaking further.

Min Yu raised his brow and placed the plate on the coffee table. “Are you done already?”

Huo Yao nodded with a straight face without looking at him. “…Almost.”

Her elbow was leaning on the edge of the coffee table. She wanted to get up, but her legs were numb from sitting cross-legged on the carpet for so long, so she was incapable of standing up.

Min Yu was sitting very close to her. He bent over slightly and reached his hands past her waist before holding her calves and ma.s.saging them.

Huo Yao instinctively stiffened when she sensed his breathing next to her ear.

“Relax.”

Huo Yao lowered her eyes when she heard his husky voice. She acknowledged softly before lowering her shoulders and trying to relax.

It was very quiet in the living room. Before long, Min Yu pulled his hands back and pulled her up.

After Huo Yao stood up straight, she thanked him.

Min Yu simply smiled ambiguously and looked at her.

A thought occurred to Huo Yao when she made eye contact with him. She cleared her throat before straightening out the drafts lying on the coffee table.

She tore the discarded drafts in half and tossed them into the trashcan leaving only a few relevant pages. She took pictures of the final papers and sent them to Lei Xiao.

It was impossible for the discussion to continue, so Lei Xiao did not carry on with the call and simply thanked her for the files before disconnecting.

Since it was getting late, Huo Yao took her jacket and put it on. After heading to the bathroom, she wanted to go home.

Min Yu was on the phone when she came back. She paused briefly without saying a word. Moments later, Min Yu looked over. She pointed at the entrance and gestured that she was going home.

Min Yu paused briefly.

“Hang on,” said Min Yu over the phone.

He took his jacket from the couch and walked over to Huo Yao. “Let me walk you out.”

Min Jian was just wondering why the interruption. The moment he heard his nephew’s gentle voice over the phone, he instantly got gooseb.u.mps.

“Is there someone there? Who are you talking to?” asked Min Jian curiously.

Min Yu had already walked up to Huo Yao. Even though the phone volume was average, it was audible enough..
