Chapter 969: A Lovely Image
She quickly veered her eyes and shook her head politely. “It’s okay. Don’t worry about me, Prof Zhao.”
Zhao Lian did not insist. He simply waved to Huo Yao and wound up the car window before gradually driving off.
Before long, Huo Yao disappeared from the rearview mirror.
“Is she a student of yours?” asked the man sitting in the front passenger seat casually, playing with his black ring.
Zhao Lian was holding the steering wheel. The moment the man asked if Huo Yao was Zhao Lian’s student, Zhao Lian could not help feeling pleased. He nodded and said, “Uh huh. She’s a good kid. Also, she is the top scholar.”
The man genuinely felt astonished on hearing this. “Sounds impressive.”
“That’s right.” Zhao Lian smiled and glanced sideways at him. “She is always full of surprises.”
Zhao Lian wanted to tell Yuan Huan that she was going to join the AL research team. Since nothing was set in stone, he changed his mind and did not tell him about it.
Yuan Huan looked out of the car window, lost in thought.
Huo Yao was genuinely full of surprises and surrounded by important people.

After dinner, Huo Yao was in no hurry to go home. Instead, she kept discussing work with Lei Xiao over the phone. There were several pieces of A4 papers containing calculations, scattered on the coffee table.
Min Yu came out of the kitchen only to see Huo Yao sitting on the carpet and her upper body lying prone on the coffee table. Her head was lowered while she continued writing.
Her phone was leaning against a vase at the center of the coffee table with the camera pointing at her. She was in the middle of a video call and the face of a mature man kept appearing on the screen every now and then as they chatted.
Min Yu glanced at the phone before heading back to the kitchen. Before long, he came out with a plate of freshly cut fruit and sat behind Huo Yao on the couch.
In an instant, it wasn’t just Huo Yao appearing on the video call. Instead, there was a man in the background. However, it was impossible to see Min Yu’s face owing to the angle of the phone.
Even though he did not show his face, and was simply sitting behind Huo Yao lazily, his possessiveness could be detected even through the video call.
Lei Xiao raised his head to look at the phone camera. Just as he was about to continue with the discussion, he caught the image on the phone and went quiet.
He could not bring himself to utter a word.
Min Yu did not look at the phone. He deftly picked up a piece of apple and held it close to Huo Yao’s mouth.
Huo Yao was in the middle of doing some calculations and was completely engrossed in it. She simply took a bite of the apple without even turning to look.
She ate naturally as Min Yu fed her. The sight was beautiful.
The only thing missing was a background filled with pink hearts.
Lei Xiao instantly blushed. He hurriedly reached his hand out to pick up his phone and covered the camera using the table. After he was done, he finally exhaled deeply.
Was it not enough for him to have doubts about his intelligence because of her? Did she also have to engage in public display of affection in front of him?
Could they spare a thought for a lonely single man like him?
Lei Xiao looked at the numbers on the monitor awkwardly.. How could he continue working like this?
