Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Someone answered the phone before long.

Before Huo Yao was able to say a word, a man said softly, "Miss Huo, have you finally remembered your boyfriend?"

Huo Yao was going to question him about his whereabouts, but he beat her to it.

Huo Yao disregarded his mocking tone. "I couldn't get through to you on the phone."

"Nonsense. I spent two hours waiting at the airport café with no signal. However, for the past hour, my phone has been working just fine." Min Yu promptly sighed.

Huo Yao's cheek twitched. She promptly caught on to the details. "Were you at a café for two hours? What were you doing there?"

"If I said it was a test of my love for you, would you buy it?" Min Yu was still in the car. He leaned into the car backrest and veered his head slightly to look at a luxurious hotel entrance.

Huo Yao recalled the two phone calls Huo Changfeng had answered in the car. She rubbed her brow and asked. "Where are you now?"

"I haven't had my dinner yet," said Min Yu instead of giving her a straight answer.

Huo Yao looked at the open lift doors. Some other patrons were inside the lift and waiting for her to come in. When she heard what he said over the phone, she waved to the people in the lift before she turned and headed to the hotel entrance.

"Where are you?" repeated Huo Yao.

"Your hotel entrance."

Huo Yao hummed and hung up the phone.

After walking out of the hotel, she glanced around. When she spotted a black car by the roadside, she paused and walked over.

As she approached the car, the car window of the driver's seat gradually opened to reveal Min Yu's gorgeous face.

Huo Yao glanced at him without asking how he knew where she was staying. "I don't recall you being so obedient usually."

Min Yu undid his seatbelt, opened the door, and got off the car. He opened his arms to pull her into his embrace. "I'm hungry."

Huo Yao pushed him aside and said angrily, "Serves you right."

Min Yu smiled as he embraced her. "Enough. I was just joking."

This time, Huo Yao did not shove him aside.

After some time, Min Yu finally let go of Huo Yao and held her hand. He did not mention where they were going for dinner. Instead, he simply held her hand and went back inside the hotel.

"Which floor?" Min Yu glanced sideways at her as his fingers hovered over the lift buttons.

Huo Yao replied. "The top floor."

Min Yu raised his brow. "You're such a big spender."

"I don't have a dime. I'm impoverished," replied Huo Yao promptly. She continued. "Was my call to you considered long-distance?"

Min Yu went speechless.

He quietly retrieved his phone from his pocket.

Before long, he put away his phone. He looked at the screen inside the lift as the numbers kept rising and asked. "What are you doing tomorrow?"

"We might be taking a tour of Sirin University." Huo Yao had heard Wu Yue mention this on the way here.

Min Yu nodded. "Be careful."

Huo Yao knew what he meant and simply smiled.

The lift chimed when they got to the top floor.

After the door opened, the two of them held hands and walked out.

Huo Changfeng had booked two suites at the hotel. Huo Yao got one room to herself while Wu Yue, Li Chenhui, and the others took the neighboring suite.

Huo Yao swiped the keycard and entered the room. Before long, she received a text message from Wu Yue asking to see her in their room.

After replying okay, she raised her head and looked at Min Yu. "My teacher wants to see me."

"Okay. I'll wait for you." Min Yu nodded. He placed his jacket on the couch armrest casually and undid the top two buttons of his shirt.
