Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

, so she muttered softly.
“Okay okay.
It’s getting late.
I want to sleep.”

Then she hung up without waiting for Huo Yao to say goodnight.

Huo Yao shook her head and laughed when she heard the beep on the phone.
She put it down and continued blow-drying her hair.

Before long, someone knocked at her door.

Huo Yao straightened her hair before opening it.

“Brother Tingrui?”

Huo Tingrui stood there with his hands behind him.
He looked even more refined without his rimless glasses.

He pursed his lips into a smile and said, “You probably haven’t had dinner, right?”

Huo Yao was rather surprised and said yes.

Huo Tingrui turned sideways and raised his chin to glance at the stairs and said, “Come, I’ll cook something for you.”

He paused for two seconds and added.
“Brother Yanxi is gone, so don’t worry about things being awkward.”

Huo Yao agreed right away.
“Then thanks, Brother Tingrui.”

Very quickly, the two of them went downstairs.
It was almost 10:00 pm, so Song Ning and Huo Jinyan had already gone back to their room.

Huo Tingrui rolled up his sleeves and opened the fridge to check the contents.
Other than some eggs and a tomato, there were no other ingredients.
He touched the tip of his nose and looked at Huo Yao.

He said, “We’re out of ingredients.
Will stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs noodles do?”

“It’s fine.
I’m not picky.”

“Okay,” replied Huo Tingrui as he nodded.

Then he retrieved the eggs and tomatoes from the fridge and continued.
“Go sit in the living room.
I’ll be done in a jiffy.”

Although Huo Yao nodded, she did not leave.
She leaned lazily against the wall with her arms crossed and watched the man cook in a methodical manner.
