Huo Yao spent two days doing nothing except working on the thesis. Even though she lost a little hair in the process, she finally managed to finish it.

After going through her work, she felt it was acceptable and sent it to Liu Qian’s e-mail account.

Huo Yao stretched and got up from the chair. She could hear someone knocking on her door.

It was her maid.

“Excuse me, Miss Huo. Your friend is here to see you.”

Huo Yao raised her brow as she leaned against the door frame. “What friend?”

The maid nodded and replied. “It’s the handsome man who came over previously.”

Huo Yao promptly knew whom she was referring to.

“I invited him to come in, but he said he wanted to wait outside,” continued the maid.

Huo Yao paused for a couple of seconds and said, “Got it.”

She turned to go back into her room, changed out of her pajamas, and headed downstairs unhurriedly.

When she got to the door, she could see Min Yu dressed in black standing outside with his head lowered and both hands in his pants pockets.

He raised his head when he noticed someone approaching him. The moment he saw her, his expression softened.

Huo Yao opened the door and asked calmly. ” Young Master Min, are you here to pick me up?”

Min Yu looked at her and said, “My mother says you’re nice.”

Huo Yao nodded and lapped up the praise. “Your mother is such an honest woman.”

Min Yu’s lips twitched. “Are you having dinner at my place?”

Huo Yao glanced at him lazily.

“Madam Nie says you’ve already agreed to dinner,” added Min Yu calmly.

Huo Yao promptly recalled her text conversation with his mother. She pushed some stray hair behind her ear. “Fine. Let me get changed then.”

She turned to go back into the villa. After taking a couple of steps, she halted and turned around to ask. “Oh yes. What does your mother like?”

Huo Yao felt it was inappropriate to give his mother a bottle of pills. She reckoned his mother might drive her away the moment she received it.

(⊙…⊙)

Min Yu raised his brow. “I’ve already prepared the gifts.”

Huo Yao acknowledged softly.

She veered her eyes and took out her phone as she went back inside.

Meanwhile, at 6:00 pm.

As Nie Su walked out of the kitchen, she checked the entrance. She could not help feeling nervous about meeting the young woman officially for the first time.

Prof Min came over to get himself a glass of water. When he saw his wife’s reaction, he could not help laughing. “Don’t worry. I’ve met her before. She’s a fine young lady.”

“That goes without saying, right?” Nie Su nodded. She paused before she turned and looked at her husband quizzically. “Have you met her? When?”

Prof Min did not tell his wife that he was hospitalized after going for an archaeological expedition last year, but now he inadvertently mentioned it. He hurriedly made an excuse. “I happened to run into them last year.”

Nie Su was completely unsuspecting and simply said, “I told you to prepare gifts yesterday. Is it all settled? This is the first time we are officially meeting her, so I don’t want anything to go wrong.”

Prof Min heaved a sigh of relief before he nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I have already prepared a gift.”

Nie Su acknowledged softly.

Someone could be heard at the door.

Nie Su had done up her hair in a bun. She hurriedly checked it and ensured that everything was in order before heading to the door.

Min Yu entered through the door first holding a gift box. He handed it to his mother. After walking over, Nie Su disregarded the gift and looked straight at Huo Yao standing beside him. “Yao, right? Come on in.”

Min Yu went speechless.
