Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

eepy look on his face made him look confused and adorable.

Huo Yao squeezed her hand and suppressed the impulse to ruffle his hair.
She lowered her head and nibbled on a bun.
“Nothing.”

“Oh!” Huo Xiang was dejected.
He thought that Huo Yao was going to tell him that he was looking handsome today.

Huo Yao finished her bun before taking a piece of tissue and wiping the corner of her mouth.
She removed a small glass bottle of medicine from her jacket’s pocket and placed it next to Huo Xiang.

Huo Xiang paused before he picked up the bottle.
“What’s this?”

Huo Tingrui glanced over from across the table as well.

Huo Yao raised her brow.
“You have accumulated a lot of excessive heat lately due to Yin deficiency.
I got you something to clear the heat and expel the toxins.”

Huo Xiang’s eyes landed on the glass bottle.
It had no label, so it did not appear like any of the oral medicines available in the market.

“Yao, I have excessive heat in my body too.
Did you get me any medicine?” interrupted Huo Tingrui, who felt rather jealous at the moment.

Huo Yao gave him a sinister smile and said, “I can give you some acupuncture treatment.”

Huo Tingrui quickly shook his head.
“No, thanks.”

Every time his sister smiled like this, it was awfully creepy.

Huo Xiang had already opened the bottle cap.
He could smell a mild Chinese medicinal scent when he took a whiff.
It was not pungent at all.

Huo Yao slowly leaned back into the seat with one hand resting at the edge of the table.
Despite looking relaxed, her quiet posture gave Huo Xiang the jitters.

He recalled her looking like this when he did not take the medicine that she had given him the first time.
In an instant, he asked her cautiously.
“Do I take it directly?”

“Uh huh,” replied Huo Yao softly with her slightly upturned eyes looking languid.
