Chapter 1453 Deliberately Dropping Things
Huo Yao asked Min Yu to sit in the living room for a while, and she went to the storage room on the side hall on the first floor.
The aunt at home brought him a glass of water and couldn't help but look at Min Yu twice more. She was satisfied that he was good-looking, but she was even more curious about the relationship between him and Huo Yao.
But she didn't feel comfortable asking, so she put down the cup and left.
After a while, Huo Yao took out a box of sandalwood and said, "Give this to the old man."
Min Yu took the incense and said, "Come to think of it, the old man has been nagging you to come to our house for dinner."
Huo Yao groaned, and then said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. I've already booked a flight back home for tomorrow morning. Let's talk about it later when we have time."
Min Yu nodded, and then asked in surprise: "Didn't you decide on the day after tomorrow? Why did you suddenly change it to tomorrow?"
"I called the old lady, but she didn't answer the phone. I was a little worried." Huo Yao sat down on the sofa. Her brows were still slightly furrowed as she spoke.
Min Yu knew that Huo Yao had a special feeling for Old Lady Yang. "Don't think too much. The old lady is in good health. Nothing will happen to her."
Huo Yao leaned back on the sofa, staring at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling. After a while, he sighed, "I hope so."
I hope she's just overthinking it.
The two chatted about other things, but Min Yu kept calling him, so he left the Huo family not long after.

The next day, Huo Yao refused Min Yu's offer of a ride, and in the end it was Huo's third brother who took him to the airport.
Cheng Ming went to put his luggage away. Huo Yao said a few words to Huo Yulin and let him leave first. She then went to sit in the VIP area of the airport.
There were still more than 40 minutes before the flight check-in, so it was still early.
Huo Yao put the hood of his sweatshirt on his head, took out his headphones and put them on, playing the music from his fourth brother's recently released new album, with the volume turned up quite high.
There were not many people waiting in the VIP area at this time. There were only four or five people sitting sparsely, all of them looking down at their phones.
Not far away, a cleaning lady wearing a mask and gloves was pushing a small cart towards us.
However, she just put the garbage cart outside, took the floor cleaning tools and walked over to start cleaning up the small amount of dust under the place one by one.
Huo Yao was listening to music with headphones on. When the cleaning lady walked by, she did not open her eyes, but just kept pressing her hands on her forehead, pinching it gently.
So much so that she didn't notice what fell from the cleaning lady's pocket at her feet at the first sight.
Cheng Ming came back after putting away his luggage and picked up the things. "Miss, did you drop this?"
Although Huo Yao had turned up the volume of her headphones quite high, she could still notice Cheng Ming coming back. She opened her eyes and saw the grayish-white bag that looked like a purse in his hand.
The moment she saw the bag, Huo Yao was slightly startled, but she quickly came to her senses, took off her headphones, and asked, "Uncle Cheng, where did you get this thing in your hand?"
"I just picked this up at your feet. I thought it was yours." Cheng Ming squeezed the purse. There was probably something in it, which made it feel crispy when squeezed.
He opened the purse again and felt strange when he saw some dry leaves inside.
But he quickly picked it up and smelled it again, only to find that it was not some dry leaves, but a raw smell of tobacco.
