Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

emed rather happy that his subordinate did a smart thing today.

He straightened his sleeves before he reached Huo Yao.
“Let’s go, kid.
I’ll walk you to your place since it isn’t safe out there.”

Huo Yao was flabbergasted.
“…”

What was this nonsense about danger?

Min Yu had already headed out of the bedroom.
Huo Yao watched him from behind and pressed her forehead powerlessly.

She was hoping that her second older brother was not waiting for her outside.

Huo Yao picked up the box of silver needles and followed behind him.
Her phone rang inside her pocket when she got to the staircase.

She pulled it out while descending.
When she noticed it was an unknown caller, she paused before answering the phone.

Soon, an angry voice came from the phone.

“You heartless girl.
Why didn’t you visit me after walking into me? I’m such an old man, and haven’t eaten all day.
Are you trying to starve me to death so that you don’t have to be held accountable for what you did?”

Huo Yao’s face instantly turned livid.
Just as she was about to speak, she accidentally slipped and suddenly fell down the stairs.

Huo Yao had overexerted herself, and it made her reflexes turn slow in that instant.
She couldn’t prevent the fall.
Now the old man had really gotten her into trouble.

Min Yu detected something amiss behind him.
He turned around nimbly to see Huo Yao falling.
He swiftly reached out to grab her with a look of shock on his face.

“Why were you so careless?” Min Yu frowned and quickly held her in a steady grip.

Even though Huo Yao was not badly affected, she seemed slightly frailer at that moment.
Min Yu placed his hand on her shoulder and asked her in concern.
“Are you okay?”
