NovelEnglishChapter 732: For Good Luck
Huo Yao felt that her grandmother was probably hiding something from her after answering He Xiaoman’s call, but she didn’t mention that.
Instead, she said, “I know what to do. Why don’t you have an early night? I will take this ginger tea to Brother Yulin.”
Old Madam Yang acknowledged her gently. After Huo Yao left the kitchen with the cup, she slowly walked out with her shoulders slumped.
Min Yu saw Old Madam Yang coming into the living room, so he sat up straight and wanted to say goodnight before heading upstairs. However, he noticed that her eyes were a little red and she was clearly upset.
He helped her over to the couch and sat her down. “What’s wrong?”
Old Madam Yang sighed before she looked at Min Yu. She shook her head and said, “Nothing.”

“It’s no big deal.” Old Madam Yang smiled forcibly.
After some time, she suddenly held Min Yu’s hand. “Yu, I can tell Yaoyao trusts you a lot. One day when I am gone, I hope you can take good care of her.”
Min Yu’s hand froze, but he did not pull it away from her. Instead, he comforted her. “I am sure you will live to a ripe old age.”
Old Madam Yang shook her head and patted the back of Min Yu’s hand. She finally let go of him and sighed. “Oh yes. Hang on. I have something for you.”
The moment Old Madam Yang finished her sentence, she stood up and went to the bedroom.
Before long, she came back with a box. She sat down, and handed the box to Min Yu. “After you go back, help me give this to her.”
Min Yu took the box and glanced at it before he raised his head. “Why won’t you give it to her yourself?”
“If I give it to her, she will not take it,” said Old Madam Yang sadly.
Min Yu thought about Huo Yao’s personality and felt that Old Madam Yang was right. He nodded. “Okay. I will give it to her once we go back.”
“Sure. Great. Thanks.” Old Madam Yang instantly looked relieved.
She looked at the box for some time before she said, “This is for her 18th birthday. Make sure that she always wears it for good luck.”
Min Yu glanced at Old Madam Yang. Although it was pure superstition in this time and age, Old Madam Yang was probably just wishing the best for Huo Yao and hoping she would be safe.
Min Yu nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I will tell her to wear it.”

“Okay. In that case, you should have an early night too. Just relax,” said Min Yu as he nodded.
Old Madam Yang smiled and waved her hand.
Before long, Min Yu headed upstairs with the box. The moment he reached the turn on the staircase, he spotted someone leaning lazily against the wall. It was unclear how long she had been standing there for.
Min Yu halted briefly before he continued walking upstairs. He casually moved the box in his hand behind him. “Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”
Huo Yao raised her brow. She extended her hand towards him. “Give it to me.”
“Did you hear everything?” Min Yu looked at her and felt unsurprised.
Huo Yao acknowledged lazily.
The staircase and living room were pretty near and there was no soundproofing in the house.
Also, her hearing was slightly better than average. In any case, they were not speaking particularly softly, so she had no trouble hearing them.
