Huo Yao turned her head and noticed Min Yu standing closely behind her like a ghost. “You…”
Min Yu extended his hand, held her by the waist, and pulled her into his arms. He gritted his teeth as he said solemnly, “What did you mean by old?”
Huo Yao was caught in a daze and felt puzzled.
“Why aren’t you saying anything now?” Min Yu raised his hand, placed his thumb on Huo Yao’s lower lip, and rubbed it gently. He asked. “What’s wrong with my age?”
Huo Yao smiled and corrected herself. “What old age? You’re very young.”
“You’re so patronizing.” Min Yu lowered his head and bit her ear.
Huo Yao went quiet.
Older men just could not take negative comments graciously.
“Age doesn’t matter. You’ve already kissed me, so I know you like me.” Min Yu turned his head sideways and went closer to Huo Yao’s lips. “It’s too late to regret and change your mind.”
Huo Yao looked at the man in front of her and could see herself reflecting in his eyes. She sighed softly and suddenly held him by the neck. “In theory, I’m probably older than you.”
After all, she had two identities.
Min Yu sensed his heart racing. He was completely distracted by Huo Yao’s actions, so he failed to pay attention to her words. He slowly lowered his head and kissed her squarely on her lips.
Before long, the sound of a phone ringing interrupted them. Huo Yao promptly snapped out of her daze and prodded his chest. “It’s your phone.”
Min Yu felt annoyed when they were interrupted. He let go of Huo Yao slightly and turned to take out his phone. When he answered Zhuo Yun on the phone, he sounded very cold. “This better be good.”
Zhuo Yun could sense a murderous aura radiating through the phone line. He nearly lost grip of the phone and was at a complete loss. After staying quiet for a few seconds, he said hurriedly, “Boss, we couldn’t find the tail. They were clearly very careful, so we can’t be sure about who sent them.”
“Got it.” Min Yu hung up the phone.
Zhuo Yun went quiet.
He had experienced quite a bad streak of luck with his boss recently. For some reason, he kept agitating his boss.
“Were you unable to find the tail?” Huo Yao raised her brow and looked at him. Since they were standing very close together, she caught everything Zhuo Yun said over the phone.
“Uh huh. It doesn’t matter.” Min Yu held Huo Yao’s face and kissed it. He held her hand and led her to the seat before he pressed the bell to send for the waiter and give his orders.
After the food was served, Huo Yao took out her phone, wrote down two prescriptions, and sent them to He Shu.
She wanted him to help her refine these pills.
Ever since He Shu was made the chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association, he had been slogging to no end. He used to work diligently when he was just an apothecary, but he had to work even harder now that he was the chairman.
He Shu was used to being stunned by Huo Yao’s prescriptions. When he received her prescriptions this time, he had nothing but admiration for her.
He hurriedly agreed to help Huo Yao.
Huo Yao was worried she might forget about the pills again, so she asked Zhao Lian for his mailing address and sent it to He Shu: [When the pills are ready, please send them to this address. Thanks!]
He Shu replied: [Sure thing. I’ll get it done in a couple of days and send it to your friend.]
He Shu pondered and said: [Why do you trust me so much? Aren’t you worried about the quality of my pills?]
Huo Yao raised her brow. She composed a text message on her phone unhurriedly: [I trust my judgment.]
Otherwise, she would not have helped to make He Shu the chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association.
When He Shu saw Huo Yao’s text message, he lamented to himself. In theory, Huo Yao was the best person to become the chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association.
