Min Yu did not eat much. He put down his chopsticks and asked. "Did your older brother call?"
Huo Yao nodded. She paused for a couple of seconds and said, "It's fine for me to go back a little later."
A discreet smile appeared on his face as Min Yu looked at her intently.
He waved the eatery owner over and footed the bill.

By the time Huo Yao got home, 30 minutes had already passed. Her fair face was now slightly ruddy, especially her lips which were radiant.
Song Ning scrutinized her daughter closely. Something had changed about Huo Yao after she got home. Her eyes suddenly landed on her daughter's neck as she asked. "Did you wear a scarf when you went out?"
Huo Yao straightened her scarf calmly and replied. "Yes, I did."
"Oh really?" Song Ning had a nagging feeling that she was missing something here.
She did not recall her daughter owning a scarf in this color.
