Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

ore ugly.

Huo Xiang continued speaking without giving Huo Yanxi a chance to reply.
“Brother Yanxi, please tell her that there’s no way I will take her along.
I’m supposed to make an appearance on the show with a family member, and she is no sister of mine.”

Huo Xiang sounded determined with no room for negotiation whatsoever.

Huo Yao’s amorous eyes narrowed thoughtfully when she heard this.

A variety show?

Making an appearance with a family member?

Huo Yanxi looked at his fourth little brother and found his behaviour to be slightly over the top.

Huo Yanxi wanted to tell him that he did not need to react like this even if he did not like the suggestion.
But he only said, “Okay.”

Huo Xiang was slightly surprised that Huo Yanxi did not persist with the subject.
In the past, he would probably have gone on to fight for much longer on Lu Xia’s behalf.

Huo Xiang restrained himself and did not continue talking about the show either.
Instead, he changed the subject and asked him.
“Brother Yanxi, have you been busy lately?”

“Things are alright for me.”

“WeIl, I have moved back home for the time being.
Next time if you need me, just come there straight away.
That way, you won’t have to wait for so long like you did today,” said Huo Xiang eventually.

Huo Yanxi clenched his hands without showing his true feelings and nodded.

Huo Xiang looked at his little sister.
She had said nothing all this while.
Something definitely seemed off between her and Huo Yanxi.
Hence, he forcibly made small talk to help ease the atmosphere.
“Yao, when are the nationals taking place?”

Huo Yao was playing an online game when she was suddenly cued to speak up.
Her hand paused before she replied without looking at him.
“Over the weekend.”

The nationals?

Huo Yanxi was taken aback.
He instinctively raised his head and looked at Huo Yao.
Did his baby sister make it into the National Quiz Contest finals?
