The sound of the phone ringing finally broke the silence in the car after some time.
It was Huo Yao’s phone which was buzzing.
Huo Yao woke up finally. When she opened her eyes, she was briefly at a loss, not sure where she was. However, the sound of her phone quickly made her come to her senses.
Huo Yao felt for her phone, but the ringing had already stopped. She lowered her eyes to look at the number on the phone before looking outside the car window. She said softly, “Am I home already?”
‘Min Yu turned on the light in the car now that she was up. “You were sleeping, so I did not wake you.

When the warm light landed on Huo Yao’s face, it softened the lines on her sleepy face and made her look beautiful. She nodded and acknowledged him softly. After undoing her seatbelt, she wanted to get off, but someone held her wrist.
She turned and looked at Min Yu quizzically.
Min Yu pursed his lips. He leaned forward, pulled her back, and placed her in front of him. “Aren’t you going to make up for it?”

Huo Yao blinked and automatically said, “Good night.”
Min Yu sighed inside. He let go of her and held the back of her head and kissed her on the forehead. Right after, he kissed her on the lips for a while before they were interrupted by the ringing of her phone. Then, he finally let her go and said, “That’s what I mean by making up for it.”
Huo Yao cleared her throat. She glanced at her phone and replied. “I have to go.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she opened the car door and got off without waiting for Min Yu to respond.
She ran off hurriedly.
Min Yu smiled as he watched her scuttle away. After she had gone into the villa, he started the engine and drove off.

Time flew by quickly.
Meanwhile, at the Apothecaries Association.
Huo Yao’s ID card was ready in a few days. Assistant Wang sent her a message, wanting to deliver it to her personally.
Since Huo Yao was expected to prepare medicine for the association, she sent Assistant Wang a list of Chinese herbs that she needed.
After receiving a picture of the herbs she required, Assistant Wang pondered briefly without going straight to the storehouse. Instead, he went to see Chairman Wang first.
It was normal for an apothecary to refine pills, but Huo Yao had never visited the Apothecaries Association even once and her ID card was not ready. Assistant Wang felt this was inappropriate, so he wanted to ask Chairman Wang about it.
After all, the honorary deputy chairman was asking for no ordinary Chinese herbs.
Chairman Wang looked at the list and said, “It’s okay. Just prepare the herbs based on the list.”
Assistant Wang noticed that the chairman did not even frown when he saw the list of herbs which the honorary deputy chairman wanted. He felt that Huo Yao meant more to Chairman Wang than he had realized. He nodded without daring to probe further.

The assistant was about to leave when Chairman Wang recalled something and said, “Hang on. Just prepare the herbs and give them to me along with the ID card.”
The assistant looked at Chairman Wang in surprise. “Are you personally sending the herbs there?”
“Uh huh. I happen to be on the way.” Chairman Wang simply answered without explaining in detail.
Assistant Wang scratched his head. He felt even more curious about the honorary deputy chairman now that Chairman Wang was offering to send the herbs himself. He composed his thoughts. “Okay. I will prepare them now.”
Chairman Wang acknowledged and said, “Get it done before 4:00 pm.”
Li Fang was getting his acupuncture treatment done today and Chairman Wang wanted to be there.
