Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 1867

1867 Huo Yulin Settles the Score
Huo Yao raised her brow. One word came across her mind. “Was it radiation?”

“Not really.” Min Yu narrowed his eyes. He spoke softly with a light in his eyes, “Unless you consider hallucinations radiation…”

Huo Yao did not catch his last sentence clearly, so she veered her head. “Huh? What did you say?”

Min Yu simply smiled. He turned to hold Huo Yao’s hand and pulled her to sit down beside him. Then, he lay down with his head on her lap.

“I didn’t get any rest in a couple of days,” said Min Yu, leaning against Huo Yao.

!!
Huo Yao lowered her eyes, looked at his brows for a couple of seconds, and pulled her hand back from his.

The moment she moved, Min Yu opened his eyes again. His deep eyes looked tired and blurry.

Huo Yao curled her fingers slightly. A second later, her hands landed on his temples. As she rubbed them gently, she said calmly, “You have a lot of things on your mind.”

Min Yu smiled and spoke in a languid tone, “With my girlfriend around, she can alleviate all things weighing on my mind.”

Huo Yao glanced at him without any intention to continue with the subject.

Min Yu smiled as he enjoyed his girlfriend’s uncharacteristic gentleness.

The hall became very quiet.

After some time, Huo Yao stopped massaging his temples. The breathing of the man lying on her lap sounded steady and the frown on his brow seemed to disappear slightly.

Huo Yao’s eyes landed on the black box as she pondered.

**

When they got back to the Huo estate, it was already evening time.
The old butler opened the door for Huo Yao. Since he had received happy news, he was smiling. “Miss Huo, welcome back.”

Saying this, he handed Huo Yao a pair of fresh slippers.

He finally noticed the black box in her hands, but could not tell what it contained.

The old butler did not probe and simply said, “Oh yes. Master Jinfeng is back as well.”

Inside the hall, Huo Yulin was chatting with Shangguan Tong. When he spotted Huo Yao, he stopped. Since he knew nothing about Huo Yao and Shangguan Tong’s relationship, he stood up and introduced Huo Yao. “Aunt Tong, this is my little sister, Huo Yao.”

Huo Yulin raised his head and said, “Yaoyao, this is Aunt Tong. She’s Eldest Uncle’s…”

“Uh huh. I know, she’s our eldest aunt.” Huo Yao nodded and spoke casually.

The moment Shangguan Tong heard the salutation, her creaseless face promptly looked uneasy.

Huo Yulin was a little surprised. His little sister looked very calm as though she already knew Shangguan Tong. After some time, he suddenly asked, “Did you already know Eldest Uncle has woken up? Have you already met Aunt Tong as well?”

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao responded honestly. Something crossed her mind, so she retrieved her phone from her pocket, tapped on it gently, and put it away.

Huo Yulin did not know what to say.

Did everyone already know the truth? Was he the only person kept in the dark?

When he saw Huo Yao using the phone, he was reminded of something. Huo Yulin had tried calling her a million times today but to no avail. He spoke in annoyance, “Did you blacklist my number?”

“Nope.” Huo Yao shook her head. She defended herself with a straight face. “You know how long-distance calls are. Sometimes, they can get rather glitchy, don’t they?”

Huo Yulin went quiet.

How could he believe her?

Huo Yulin did not expose his little sister for making excuses. He simply said, “What about the three tokens? Don’t you dare say that you had nothing to do with them? I know it was you.”

Huo Yao raised her brow. Huo Yulin wanted answers and there was no stopping him.
