NovelEnglishChapter 1478: Too Young
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Min Yu and Huo Yao did not call Old Mr. Yi ahead of time before they got there. Since the supervisor recognized them, he showed them to a private room reverently.
Yi Lianfan went back to City S on the second day when term break started for Tsing University. It was a family business, so he spent all his time refining his cooking at the restaurant.
When the supervisor mentioned Huo Yao was here, he promptly put down the ingredients and went over to the private room.
The moment he saw Huo Yao, Yi Lianfan was stunned. “Have you been dieting?”
She did not look good and her face was very skinny.
!!
He had never seen her looking so fragile in his life.
Huo Yao glanced at Yi Lianfan before she gave him a fake smile. “Aren’t you a chef? I didn’t know chefs liked to gossip.”

Sure enough, he could never out-talk her.
Yi Lianfan touched his nose and did not dare to probe her. He automatically glanced at Min Yu.
Even though Min Yu was quietly sitting in his chair, he gave off an imposing aura.
Yi Lianfan nervously veered his eyes. After asking Huo Yao for her order, he quickly left and went back to the kitchen.
It felt terribly awkward for him to hang around and play the third wheel.
As Yi Lianfan ran out of the private room, Huo Yao turned to look at Min Yu. “You scared him.”
Min Yu kept holding onto Huo Yao’s hand under the table. When her hand finally felt a little warmer, he remarked condescendingly. “Is it my fault that he is too young?”
Huo Yao quietly veered her eyes.
From the looks of it, he was never going to stop cracking jokes about age.

After dinner, the two of them left the medicinal cuisine restaurant. On their way home, Min Yu’s phone rang several times. He simply glanced at the phone without checking it.
They kept driving until they pulled up at the Huo residence. She opened the car door and got off. Before she left, she turned around and said to Min Yu, “If you are busy, just go back to the capital first. I’ll be fine.”
Min Yu looked at her for some time before he finally nodded. “Okay then.”
He opened a box beside him, retrieved a small jewelry box, and handed it to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao looked at the jewelry box in his hands quizzically before she reached her hand out to take it.
When she opened the jewelry box, she could see a necklace with a jade pendant inside. In terms of quality, she could tell it was premium.
“I changed my mind. Do you mind letting me keep the necklace a little longer?” said Min Yu.

Min Yu said, “I’m worried it might remind you of your grandmother.”
Huo Yao shook her head and replied., “I’ll be fine.”
She lowered her eyes slightly and smiled. The shadow made it slightly harder to see the dark circles under her eyes.
Her grandmother had told her not to be upset and wanted her to move on.
Huo Yao ended up compromising. She removed the necklace, rubbed the jade pendant gently, and handed it to Min Yu.
Min Yu took the necklace from her and held it tightly. Since Huo Yao did not continue probing, he felt relieved.
Huo Yao glanced at him and said, “I’m going home then.”
“Sure.”
Min Yu watched from behind as Huo Yao disappeared through the main entrance before veering his eyes. He opened his hand and looked at the fish-shaped jade pendant with his eyes narrowed.
Moments later, he put the necklace away.
