Chapter 1578 - 1578 Sure Had Thick Skin
1578 Sure Had Thick Skin
Min Yu frowned imperceptibly. “Where are they from?”
Huo Yao simply sighed. “I’m probably too talented for my own good. People like me attract a lot of jealousy, don’t you think?”
Min Yu glanced at Huo Yao. At a time like this, how could she remain calm? She was genuinely one of a kind.
Since she had no intention of telling the truth, he did not continue probing. He veered his eyes and continued sending text messages on his phone.
Before long, the car drove back to the estate.

Huo Yao raised her head, glanced at the main entrance, and could not help raising her brow.
Min Yu said from the side, “I already told Brother Yulin about this.”
Huo Yao turned around and looked at Min Yu. She said in astonishment, “Since when did you get so chummy with Brother Yulin?”
The main entrance automatically opened. Min Yu drove in before he answered Huo Yao unhurriedly. “He probably thinks that I’m the best match for you and the perfect brother-in-law.”
Huo Yao looked at him annoyingly. “You sure have thick skin.”
Min Yu parked the car and undid his seatbelt as he asked. “Is it not true?”
Huo Yao had found her match. She decided to pretend not to have heard him and opened the car door to get off.
Min Yu smiled and got out of the car.
After entering the residence, Huo Yao changed her shoes. Her phone happened to ring in her pocket right then.
Li Chenhui was calling her.
She answered the phone and said gently, “Hi, Senior Brother.”
Min Yu glanced at her before going into the kitchen.
Ever since Li Chenhui realized that SCI had published Huo Yao’s article, he felt demoralized.
He cleared his throat before he said, “Junior Sister, I forgot to remind you earlier. Remember to apply for your pa.s.sport soon.”
Huo Yao nodded. “Uh huh. Got it.”
“Good. The conference is taking place at the end of the month, so you don’t have much time. Wen Ping already gave you a thumb drive which contains a lot of data. Read it if you can. If you don’t have the time, don’t worry about it. We’re just going abroad to gain some experience and meet more people in the industry,” said Li Chenhui with a smile.
Huo Yao leaned against the dining table. The moment she heard what he said, she raised her brow annoyingly. She had to do so much work for the conference. She replied casually. “Okay.”
Min Yu walked out of the kitchen with a basket of green beans for her to prepare. He placed it on the table without saying a word and went back into the kitchen.
Huo Yao raised her head and glanced at the kitchen with her phone in hand. She turned to look at the green beans on the table and interrupted Li Chenhui before he could continue chatting with her. “Senior Brother, I have to go.”
Li Chenhui acknowledged her sheepishly.
Huo Yao put down the phone and pulled out a chair at the dining table. She deftly helped pluck the green beans. When she was done, she carried them to the kitchen.
He was standing in the kitchen with his back straight with a knife in his hand, but he did not seem out of place. Instead, he looked good.
Huo Yao tutted softly and placed the basket of green beans on the table without leaving the kitchen right away.
“Done with the call?” Min Yu did not even raise his head.
“Uh huh. All done.” Huo Yao crossed her arms casually. She paused and added. “My senior brother told me to apply for my pa.s.sport.”
Min Yu was caught by surprise. “Pa.s.sport?” He paused briefly and added. “Are you attending an academic conference abroad?”
He remembered a major academic conference taking place around this time of the year.
