"Junior Sister, the best people in the academic world are going to be there. It'd be a real pity to miss the event." Li Chenhui refused to give up. He felt it would be a matter of time before he convinced her to attend the conference.
"I really don't want to embarrass you." Huo Yao nodded leisurely and chimed in.
Li Chenhui promptly choked and did not know what to say anymore.
Huo Yao smiled. She took the teapot from the side and poured more tea into Li Chenhui's cup before changing the subject.
Li Chenhui had already tried and failed, so he did not continue persuading her for now.
After dinner, Huo Yao and Min Yu left together.
Li Chenhui sat in the car without starting the engine to drive off. Instead, he took out his phone and sent a text message to a group chat.
[Junior Sister surprisingly turned down the chance to attend the academic conference!]
