Chapter 799: I Would Think You Were Trying To Fool Me

Huo Yao received Tsing University’s acceptance letter a few days after the party.

The term was starting on 1st September. However, she had to go two days in advance to report to the department so that they could register her.

Huo Yao continued going to the driving school and researched Chinese medicine when she was free.

She received a call from Zhuo Yun informing her that he was here with the Chinese herbs and was waiting for her outside.

Huo Yao opened the door and saw Yang Yi standing outside. She was surprised since it was Zhuo Yun who had called her.

Yang Yi handed the box of Chinese herbs to Huo Yao reverently before he explained. “The medicine was ready a couple of days ago, but we were afraid that it was too fragile to send it by mail. Since I happened to be in town for business, I decided to bring it over to you personally.”

Was that so?

Huo Yao raised her brows slightly and thanked him before looking at the villa next door. “Where is your boss? Isn’t he back yet?”

“He says he is waiting for you in the capital.” Yang Yi retrieved a small box from his pocket and gave it to Huo Yao. “Yu wanted me to pass you this gift.”

The box was covered with velvet and seemed like a jewelry box even though there were no logos on it.

Huo Yao raised her brow and paused before taking the box.

Yang Yi nodded. “I will be on my way now.” His car was parked nearby.

However, Yang Yi halted after taking a couple of steps and clenched his fists slightly. He finally asked cautiously. “Miss Huo, can I have your number?”

Ever since he witnessed Huo Yao’s computing skills first hand, he had wanted her number. He simply did not have the opportunity to ask her about it all this time.

He tried to ask Zhuo Yun, but Zhuo Yun kept changing the subject.

If he asked his boss about it, Min Yu would probably send him to Africa to do mining, the moment he did.

Yang Yi scratched his head and hesitated briefly before he added. “I just want your number so that I can ask you about hacking.”

Huo Yao’s lips twitched. Was that it? She proceeded to give Yang Yi her number. “I don’t have my phone with me. I will add your number to my phonebook later.”

“Great. Thanks so much.” Yang Yi swiped down his phonebook and tapped on Huo Yao’s number before sending her a text message. He turned off his phone and nodded. “See you around.”

Huo Yao acknowledged him softly. She watched as Yang Yi left before turning back to enter the villa.

She placed the Chinese herbs in her medicine room before going upstairs. After closing the door, she took out the small box Min Yu had given her.

She opened it and saw an exquisite necklace lying inside. There was no pendant on it. It was simply a white gold necklace.

Huo Yao held it in her hand. Just as she was wondering why he had given her a necklace, her phone rang on the table. She turned her head sideways and glanced at it. After putting the necklace back in the box and placing it on the table, she picked up her phone and answered it.

“Have you received it?” A man’s cool voice came from over the phone.

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao raised her brow. “Why did you suddenly give me a necklace?”

Min Yu stood in front of the study windows, looking at the garden with a smile on his face as he said teasingly, “Why would a man give a woman gifts?”

Huo Yao held her phone as she leaned into the seat lazily. “I would think you were trying to fool me.”

Min Yu’s lips twitched.
