Huo Yao glanced at the Chinese herbs to ensure that everything was in order before she said to Lin Shuwen, “I will use the Chinese herbs to make some medication. Come by to pick them up from me at the school this time tomorrow.”
Lin Shuwen only knew Huo Yao for her exceptional medical skills. Since he did not know she was also an apothecary, he could not help feeling startled by this information. “Miss Huo, do you know how to refine pills?”
Huo Yao raised her brow.
Lin Shuwen realized his question was redundant, so he cleared his throat and nodded. “Okay.”
“In that case, I am leaving.” Ever since Lin Shuwen and Fang Chen got transferred to the capital, he hardly had any personal time left. He was mainly afraid of getting caught slacking and giving people the opportunity to complain about them.
Huo Yao glanced at the black car parked by the roadside before waving her hand. “Sure.”
“Uh huh.” Lin Shuwen nodded. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly remembered something and halted.
After contemplating for two seconds, Lin Shuwen turned back and pointed at the box containing Chinese herbs in Huo Yao’s hands and said, “Oh yes. Miss Huo, I did not show anyone else your complete prescription.”
Huo Yao looked at Lin Shuwen and was briefly stunned. After she realized what he was saying, she smiled and did not take it to heart. “It’s fine. Not everyone understands my prescription.”
Ancient prescriptions could get very tricky. The slightest change in the dosage, refining, and consumption would lead to variations in efficacy. Even with the complete prescription, it was hard to succeed in making it.
This is the reason apothecaries were hard to come by and even fewer could grasp ancient prescriptions.
Lin Shuwen finally felt relieved before he went on his way.
After Lin Shuwen had driven off, Huo Yao walked over to the roadside unhurriedly. She was carrying the box and walked up to the black car.
The front passenger seat car window gradually wound down to reveal a gorgeous man with bright beautiful eyes sitting in the driver’s seat. Huo Yao touched her nose before she opened the front passenger car door and got in.
The car gradually drove off.
“Was someone looking for you?” Min Yu turned to glance at Huo Yao and the box in her hands with his eyes slightly narrowed.
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao nodded.
She placed the box in the back seat nonchalantly and kicked it gently so that it would move in. “You know him too. It was Fang Chen’s secretary.”
Min Yu raised his brows slightly and asked in a mild tone. “Why does he want to see you?”
The car window was open. Huo Yao lazily placed her arm on the car window and tilted her head sideways at Min Yu before answering. “To give me money.”
No wonder she was in such a good mood.
Min Yu suddenly could not help feeling upset when he realized this.
He surprisingly could not compare to this tiny bit of money.
Min Yu seemed to be in a bad mood as he drove them back to the estate. After Huo Yao got out of the car, she glanced at him quizzically. What was with this temper?
He was having such a mood swing.
During this time, Huo Yulin had been working long hours in the laboratory and only came back late at night, so Huo Yao had to eat dinner elsewhere almost every day.
After entering the house, Huo Yao changed into a pair of slippers. She wanted to head to the living room and wait for the food to be ready.
However, Min Yu dragged her into the kitchen this time. There were fresh vegetables lying on the kitchen counter. He gave her a pair of gloves and said, “You have a job to do.”
Huo Yao blinked quizzically. She lowered her head and glanced at the gloves in her hands before she raised her head to look at Min Yu in surprise. “Me? Do you want me to wash the vegetables?”
