1731 Could Only Blame Himself
“She’s tired.”
Min Yu pressed Huo Yao’s head against his chest gently and entered the room immediately.
Zhuo Yun touched his nose. He did not leave right away and stayed in the hall.
When Min Yu finally came out of the bedroom, Zhuo Yun said hurriedly, “Boss, the count sent us an invitation.”
!!
Min Yu undid his cuff calmly as he looked at Zhuo Yun. “Huh?”
“It’s a birthday invitation. It seems Morey has invited everyone from all the influential families in Country M.” After Zhuo Yun received the invitation, he promptly followed up and checked on the affair.
After the weapons fair, the count sent someone to investigate Miss Huo. He could not help feeling suspicious about the count’s true intentions for the invitation.
After all, the Min family and the count had hardly interacted in the past, let alone inviting them to a birthday banquet.
Zhuo Yun paused and said, “I think Morey probably still has his eyes on those weapons. He’s just using the birthday banquet as an excuse to talk to you in person.”
Min Yu sat down on the couch and leaned backward slightly. He responded mildly. “We’re not going.”
“Sure.” Zhuo Yun already expected this decision. He did not continue with the subject. “Oh yes. Yang Yi has already gotten into Mirage Base.”
Something finally changed in Min Yu’s expression upon hearing this.
“The security at the Mirage Base is very strong. After he got in, he became uncontactable.” Zhuo Yun spoke with slight disdain.
After a pause, he continued. “Isn’t he ranked seventh on the hackers’ ranking? A day has already pa.s.sed. How could he go with no word?”
“If it were Miss Huo, she could hack Mirage Base’s network in just a matter of minutes, right?”
He had nothing against his old friend. Yang Yi could only blame himself for being lousier than Huo Yao.
Min Yu glanced sideways at Zhuo Yun. “Tell Yang Yi to be careful. Mirage Base is no ordinary place.”
“Got it.” Zhuo Yun stood up straight and nodded. “In that case, I’m going to the hospital to take care of Miss Huo’s little brother.”
“Uh huh.”

By the time Huo Yao woke up, it was already 10:00 pm.
Inside the room, it was quiet and dark. The blinds were already drawn tightly so that no light could enter.
Huo Yao slowly sat up in bed. She rubbed her brow before raising her hand to push the light switch on the wall.
As the light turned on, the bedroom door opened.
“You’re awake.”
After entering the room, Min Yu sat down by the bedside. He glanced at Huo Yao’s face and noticed the weight she had lost and could not help sighing.
This was the outcome of being apart from his girlfriend.
Huo Yao automatically touched her face when he kept staring at it. “Is there something on my face?”
Min Yu looked at her intently. He held her hand and pulled her into his arms warmly. “Nope.”
Huo Yao leaned her chin against his shoulder while he held her tightly. She blinked. “What’s wrong?”
Min Yu said nothing but did not let go of her.
Huo Yao went quiet.
After some time, a gurgling sound interrupted the silence.
Huo Yao did not know what to say.
Min Yu loosened his hand and glanced at Huo Yao with an ambiguous smile.
Huo Yao turned her head expressionlessly. “I’m hungry.”
“You haven’t eaten in a couple of days. Do you think you’re a G.o.d?” Min Yu shook his head. Before Huo Yao could speak, he carried her from the bed and walked out of the room.
Food was placed on the dining table outside. It had just arrived from the restaurant.
After placing Huo Yao on the chair, Min Yu lowered his eyes and casually glanced at her open collar.
Her beautiful neck was bare.
