Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Yao had not used this technique in a long time, but her motions remained deft. Her eyes gleamed as she felt a sliver of excitement run through her.

Min Yu was no longer in as much pain. However, the more he looked at Huo Yao, the weirder he felt.

She made him feel as though he was a laboratory rat laying there for her to experiment upon.

“Friend, why do I feel like you’re practicing on me?” Min Yu narrowed his eyes.

Huo Yao’s needle hovered in mid-air. She raised her head and glanced at Min Yu before she replied without batting an eye. “You are overthinking it.”

She veered her eyes away from his face and resumed her task. Two seconds later, she pressed the acupuncture point gently and removed the needle effortlessly.

Huo Yao finally removed the last silver needle 30 minutes later. She covered Min Yu with the blanket before she slumped into a chair.

Her face was paler than before as she rested her hands on her knees and could not even lift them.

“That’s all for today. I will perform acupuncture on you in a few days. That should put an end to the neuralgia.”

Huo Yao paused before she continued. “I still need to do more research on your old ailment.”

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Min Yu huskily.

He stood up slowly, and the blanket slid down to his waist to reveal his lean chest. His well-chiseled features looked ghastly pale under the light. He was emitting an aesthetic sense of self-restraint.

After Huo Yao glanced at him, she moved her eyes away unhurriedly and said, “You should lie down and rest.”

Min Yu raised his brow and got dressed unhurriedly. “I feel much better now.”

After all, Huo Yao was the one who treated him.

Huo Yao coughed before she said, “Great.”

She pushed herself off the chair before turning around to pack up her needles. Her back was facing Min Yu.

Min Yu was already dressed. He slowly walked up to Huo Yao’s side and watched as she put away her needles meticulously. He looked at the metal box.

The box was somewhat old but was not rusty. Also, it had a dark logo on it. Min Yu’s eyes landed on the logo and he wanted to scrutinize it closely. However, Huo Yao had already picked up the box.

She opened the metal box, placed the silver needles inside and shut it before lifting it up. She raised her head and looked at Min Yu. “I’m leaving now. Call me if you have any problems.”

Min Yu’s eyes landed on Huo Yao’s face. His eyes turned a little dark when he detected how exhausted she looked. “Sorry for the trouble.”

Huo Yao waved her hand. “Don’t mention it. Remember to transfer the money to me.”

She headed towards the door as she spoke.

Min Yu’s lips twitched slightly. He paused for two seconds before he followed behind her.

Huo Yao caught sight of Zhuo Yun pacing up and down outside the door when she opened it.

“Miss Huo, how is Yu…” Zhuo Yun promptly asked when he saw Huo Yao.

Before he finished his sentence, he caught sight of his boss standing behind her. “Yu, are you better now?”

Min Yu nodded.

Zhuo Yun heaved a sigh of relief before he looked at Huo Yao with gratitude. He recalled the ginseng soup in the kitchen and hurriedly said, “Miss Huo, I told the kitchen to make some ginseng soup for you. Let me bring it over.”

He hurried downstairs.

Huo Yao raised her brow and turned towards Min Yu. “Zhuo Yun is pretty thoughtful.”

Min Yu narrowed his eyes.
