Huo Yao packed her needles and turned to leave the bathroom.
Zhuo Yun was already waiting outside. He passed a bowl of ginseng soup to Huo Yao thoughtfully. “Miss Huo, thanks a lot.”
Huo Yao took the bowl of soup and commented. “You have a bright future.”
Zhuo Yun scratched his head and innocently laughed before he asked her. “How’s Yu?”
Huo Yao took a sip and moistened her throat. “Unless something happens, his old ailment shouldn’t act up for now.”
Zhuo Yun instantly looked delighted. Although Min Yu was not cured completely, the outcome was far better than the treatment he had received from other so-called experienced Chinese physicians.
Min Yu walked out after dressing himself.
After Huo Yao finished her soup, she turned to see Min Yu and could not help recalling some inappropriate scenes.
Huo Yao coughed and moved her eyes away. She handed the bowl to Zhuo Yun and said, “Thanks. I’m going home now.”
Zhuo Yun nodded politely. “Okay, Miss Huo.”
Zhuo Yun wanted to walk her back, but a thought crossed his mind. His eyes landed on Min Yu. He blinked at him and hinted. “Yu, why don’t you walk Miss Huo back? It’s not safe for her to head back alone at this hour.”
Although his boss was a few years older than Huo Yao, and it felt like she was too young for him, he could not bear the thought of letting some other guy date a great girl like her.
Huo Yao almost stumbled when she heard what Zhuo Yun said.
She turned her head to look at Zhuo Yun expressionlessly. Since their villas were less than 50 meters apart, how could there be any danger lurking around?
“Uh huh. That’s true.” Min Yu pretended to be serious and nodded. He seemed 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?”
