NovelEnglishChapter 445: Runaway Grandfather
Min Yu went to the fridge to get Huo Yao a bottle of water and opened its cap before handing it to her. “They have work to do.”
Min Yu’s voice sounded calm when he talked about Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi.
“I see.” Huo Yao took the bottle of water from him and had a sip.
Min Yu sat down on the couch and leaned into the backrest lazily before he said, “Just relax and treat it as your own home. Do anything you like.”
Huo Yao looked sideways at him and said with all honesty, “That’s really kind of you, boss.”
Min Yu pursed his lips and changed the subject. “Judging from your personality, you don’t avoid going home like this. Did something happen at home?”
Huo Yao picked up a cushion. She placed it in front of her chest and put her chin on it. She curled up comfortably on the couch and replied in a deep tone. “We have a guest at home.”

Huo Yao waved her hand and did not want to talk about it. “Let me have a quick nap.”
She shut her eyes with a calm and harmless look on her exquisite face. She seemed unguarded at this moment.
Min Yu glanced at her calmly with his lips curved upwards. However, he said nothing and picked up a book on the coffee table to read through.
Other than the occasional sound of pages flipping, it was particularly serene in the living room. It felt magical, just perfect.
During this time, Min Yu’s phone rang once with a notification. He glanced at it before changing his phone to silent mode and placing it on the coffee table.
Hence, he missed Old Master Min’s calls altogether.
Time passed by, second by second. Huo Yao initially wanted to take a quick nap, but she ended up falling into a deep sleep. If her phone did not ring in her pocket, she might have slept even longer.
She pulled out her phone and looked at the caller ID with a drowsy look on her face. She paused for two seconds before she answered. “Hello, old man?”
Min Yu had just come downstairs with a blanket when he caught Huo Yao answering the phone and greeting the caller that way. He was slightly stunned before he walked over unhurriedly and stopped by the couch armrest next to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao did not say much to the caller and quickly hung up.
Min Yu looked up and was about to speak when he inadvertently saw her phone screen.
Since the backlight was still on, the recent phone calls could be seen.
A puzzled expression appeared on Min Yu’s face when he saw the phone number at the top of the list. He put the blanket aside and asked. “Did someone call?”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao put her phone away. She stood up from the couch and stretched her arms as she said, “I have to go home.”
“So soon? Why not stay a little longer?” Min Yu looked at her and said softly.

Min Yu did not insist on keeping her here any longer.
He walked Huo Yao to the main gate and watched as she left. He only turned to go back inside after she had gone in.
Min Yu’s eyes narrowed when he recalled the phone number he saw on her phone earlier.
He took his phone from the coffee table and turned it on to see a few new messages and two missed calls.
All of them were from his runaway grandfather.
After Min Yu read the messages, he did not call his grandfather back. Instead, he rubbed the phone screen gently with his fingertips. He contemplated for a moment before he replied with a text message.
[You are at the Huo family.]
He spoke definitively.
