Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 194

Chapter 194: Are You Really A Delivery Man?
The awkwardness in the atmosphere got dispelled when the doorbell rang.

“It’s probably our dinner. I will go collect it,” said Huo Yao before walking to the entrance.

But after opening the door, there was no delivery man in sight. Instead, a professional-looking middle-aged man, dressed in a suit and leather shoes stood there. He held two exquisite boxes in his hands.

Huo Yao placed her hand against the doorframe and asked him quizzically. “Who are you?”

The middle-aged man smiled and seemed rather courteous. He handed over the boxes to her and said, “I’m here to deliver your food order. Enjoy.”

Their boss had instructed him to be low key and not to startle Miss Huo.

Huo Yao paused for two seconds before taking the boxes from him. She could not help confirming again though. “Are you really a food delivery guy?”

The middle-aged man’s expression froze instantly. But he nodded and tried to look confident. “That’s right.”

Did delivery men have to dress so well these days?

Huo Yao stopped her probing questions and thanked the man before closing the door.

After walking back into the dining room, Huo Yao placed the food on the table. Each box contained three layers and had four dishes and two portions of rice within.

Since the portion sizes were generous, it was enough for both of them.

A thought crossed Huo Yao’s mind while they were having dinner. She looked up at Huo Xiang, who was sitting across her, eating quietly.

She said, “Oh yes. Brother Xiang, are you an actor?”

Huo Xiang’s hand paused mid-air. He shook his head and replied quietly. “Nope. I’m a singer.”

A singer?

Had he not released any albums? She could not find any results when she had searched his name online.

Huo Yao pondered over it for a bit. Since it was a matter of pride, she did not say her thoughts out loud. Instead, considering the poison in his body, she pretended to tease him. “Since you are so handsome, I’m sure many people in the company are envious of you.”

Huo Xiang’s lips twitched. He looked at his little sister in a complicated way and said, “I make a livelihood using my talent.”

Huo Yao nodded casually and replied with a shrug. “Mhm. Things can get complicated in the entertainment industry. You have to be careful about getting tricked.”

Then she lowered her head and continued to eat.

Huo Xiang felt sad. A thought crossed his mind for the first time. Good looks might not necessarily serve any advantage.

After dinner, Huo Yao offered to do the dishes, but Huo Xiang stopped her sternly.

“You’re a girl. You should look after your hands. I’ll do the dishes,” said Huo Xiang solemnly.

He took the bowls from Huo Yao and turned to enter the kitchen.

Huo Yao did not insist and instead turned to cut some fruit in the living room. However, within a few seconds, she heard clanging sounds emitting from the kitchen.

Huo Yao placed a hand on her forehead. She should have known!

In the end, the simple task took 20 minutes, and even Huo Yao had to pitch in.

Huo Xiang walked out of the kitchen sadly. He felt like he was incapable of doing anything except cause trouble.

Sigh!

Huo Xiang walked over to sit down on the couch in the living room. Huo Yao had just placed some freshly cut fruit on the coffee table.

Huo Yao picked up a piece of apple and took a couple of bites from it. Her eyes landed on Huo Xiang, and she scrutinized him for a few seconds before asking him nonchalantly. “Brother Xiang, did you take the meds I gave you this morning?”

Although it was phrased as a question, she sounded certain of the answer.

Huo Xiang looked at his little sister. Her face had become solemn when she spoke, making him subconsciously sit up straight.
