The middle-aged man brought the cake back to the kitchen and told Old Mr. Yi about Huo Yao's comments while the latter was busy cooking.
Old Mr. Yi looked up with a solemn expression and said, "Even a layman could see what was wrong with the cake. You should reflect on it and don't embarrass yourself again."
Saying so, he went back to preparing the dish.
The middle-aged man nervously wiped the sweat off his brow and replied. "I understand."
He wanted to say how knowledgeable the young lady was but ended up getting scolded instead.
Meanwhile, in the private room.
Huo Yao took out a test paper given to her by her math teacher in the afternoon as homework.
Min Yu sat next to her quietly and drank tea without disturbing her.
