Chapter 1383: Make Such A Big Deal Of It

Min Yu put on his jacket and came back downstairs before long. He walked up to Huo Yao and said, “Let’s go.”

Huo Yao tilted her head sideways. “I can go back to school on my own.”

Min Yu held her hand tightly and said, “I happen to have some work there.”

Huo Yao raised her brow disbelievingly.

Min Yu squeezed her hand. He refused to take no for an answer and walked out with her before he finally explained. “I have to meet someone at the Physics department.”

Huo Yao promptly realized that he must be going to the university to work on the project belonging to the National Research Institute of Science and Technology, so she stopped insisting.

The car arrived at the university 30 minutes later.

Min Yu did not stop outside the campus this time. Instead, he drove right into the school and dropped Huo Yao off at the Biology department before heading to the Physics department.

Huo Yao went straight to the classroom.

Yuan Xi was looking better. When she saw Huo Yao, she asked in concern. “You left in a hurry earlier. Is everything okay?”

“I’m good.” Huo Yao smiled.

Yuan Xi nodded and felt relieved. “That’s good. I was about to call and check on you, but I was worried that I might be disturbing you.”

After exchanging a few words, Yuan Xi wanted to continue her revision, but she inadvertently looked at Huo Yao’s neck. She paused briefly and looked at Huo Yao in surprise. “What’s that?”

Yuan Xi pointed at Huo Yao’s neck as she spoke.

“Huh?” Huo Yao tilted her head toward Yuan Xi and automatically felt around her neck. “What’s there?”

Yuan Xi covered her face awkwardly. She retrieved her phone from her pocket and activated her selfie cam and showed it to Huo Yao. “Look.”

Huo Yao took the phone. The moment she caught the mark on her neck, her face twitched briefly. She returned the phone to Yuan Xi and replied mildly. “Oh nothing. I have a cat.”

Huo Yao pulled her collar up as she spoke.

Yuan Xi’s lips twitched. Could a cat have done this?

It felt as though she had learned a little too much about Huo Yao’s dating life.

Huo Yao cleared her throat. She could sense her phone vibrating, so she stopped talking to Yuan Xi and took out her phone.

Old Mr. Pei had finally replied to her text message.

He had just sent her a one-minute-long audio message.

Since the class had yet to start, Huo Yao put on her earphones and tapped on the audio message.

After listening to the text message, she finally realized what Old Mr. Pei meant.

Meanwhile, Pei Rong suddenly entered the room after hearing Old Mr. Pei send a message to Huo Yao.

He pushed the door so hard that the door could be heard slamming on the wall, leaving Old Mr. Pei startled.

He raised his head and saw his eldest son walking over quickly. He frowned annoyingly and placed his phone back into his pocket. He said angrily, “Don’t you have any manners? You should’ve knocked first.”

Pei Rong glanced at his father’s pocket and reached his hand out. “Dad, I heard what you said over the phone. Give me your phone.”

Old Mr. Pei did not budge. “I told you. Even if the Pei family has to go downhill, we can’t do anything unethical. I know you want me to help you get your hands on Huo Yao’s ancient prescriptions, but I suggest you give up. I’m never going to help you with it.”

In just two days, Old Mr. Pei was starting to look increasingly haggard since he felt guilty, just thinking about his son’s evil intentions.

“Dad, why are you so stubborn? I’m your biological son. Why are you making things so hard for me?” Pei Rong wiped his face.

He could not wrap his mind around it. He simply wanted some ancient prescriptions. His father did not have to make such a big deal of it.
