Chapter 1120 I Want To Marry Their Daughter
Huo Yao sat in the living room watching television after dinner. Just as she was about to go upstairs, her phone rang in her pocket.
She took out her phone and checked it. Since it was Min Yu calling, she quickly answered it.
“Can you come out?” Min Yu was dressed in a black coat, looking cool as he leaned against the car door looking at the villa entrance.
There were a few paper bags by his feet.
Huo Yao did not ask why. She simply acknowledged him, hung up the phone, and went out.
Before long, Huo Yao appeared before Min Yu. She looked at him. “Yes?”
Min Yu picked up the paper bags by his feet and handed them to her. “Some gifts for your parents.”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Why? You didn’t have to.”
“I have no choice. Since I want to marry their daughter, I have to leave a good impression,” sighed Min Yu slightly.
Huo Yao went quiet briefly before she replied. “You are certainly getting more thick-skinned by the day.”
Min Yu placed the paper bag handles into Huo Yao’s hands and held them tightly. “Otherwise, when can I become your official boyfriend?”
Huo Yao was already accustomed to this body contact. She stood quietly for a couple of minutes before turning back to look at the entrance. “I have to go back now.”
Min Yu squeezed her hand. “Okay.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao. She took the paper bags and went back inside the villa.
Min Yu smiled as he watched her leave before turning towards the car.
The next day, Huo Yao sent Huo Tingrui to the airport.
“I will expand the law firm and open a branch in the capital next year,” said Huo Tingrui to Huo Yao while they stood in the waiting lounge.
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. She simply thought that he was joking. “Oh yes. Uncle Changfeng has hired you a trainer. I suggest you work out more when you get back.”
The moment Huo Tingrui heard this, his face instantly froze. He had a.s.sumed that she was kidding when she mentioned it previously. “I refuse.”
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Why don’t you tell that to Uncle Changfeng and see what he
says?”
Huo Tingrui’s cheeks twitched. Was it not obvious?
Uncle Changfeng would never take no for an answer.
Huo Yao checked the time and said, “Brother Tingrui, it’s time for you to go. Text me when you get home.”
Huo Tingrui sighed. “Fine. Call me if you need me.”
Huo Yao nodded. “Have a safe trip.”
Huo Tingrui waved his hand before entering the security check with his a.s.sistant.
Huo Yao stood outside and watched as the two of them left before finally leaving.
Chen Ming was waiting by the car in the parking lot. When he saw Huo Yao coming over, he opened the car door.
Before getting into the car, Huo Yao halted and contemplated briefly. She looked at Chen Ming and said, “Uncle Ming, can you send somebody to go over to protect my brother after he gets home?”
Chen Ming instantly knew where this was coming from. He promptly nodded. “Yes, Miss Huo. I will make arrangements and send some bodyguards.”
Huo Yao acknowledged him. “Uh huh. Thanks a lot.”
Chen Ming smiled as he scratched his head. “Miss Huo, it is no trouble at all. It is my job.”
Huo Yao smiled before bending over and getting into the car.

After Huo Yao got home, she went back to her room and turned on her computer. She signed into Cloud Realm.
She had posted a job on Cloud Realm previously and someone had already taken it. Today, she had to pay the person the remaining fees for completing the task.
Shortly after she had transferred the money, the mercenary texted her curiously: (Why didn’t you do it yourself?]
Huo Yao leaned against the seat backrest with her hands on the keyboard. After some time, she finally replied: (I felt like spending some money.)
The mercenary’s lips twitched. Was Huo Yao showing off how rich she was?
