Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 143: Do You Know How To Make Incense?

Huo Yao raised her brow questioningly and turned to look at him. “Do you not remember what happened?”

Huo Tingrui was stunned. He asked her in a hesitant manner. “Are you trying to tell me something?”

Huo Yao smiled ambiguously. “Nope. But Dad’s right. You should drink less from now on.”

Post that, she lowered her eyes and ate her breakfast quietly.

Huo Tingrui scratched his head. He had a nagging feeling that something happened last night and had something to do with his shoulder ache.

Huo Yao went upstairs after breakfast. She went into the room adjacent to hers and started making incense.

Huo Tingrui did not have to go to the office today, so he followed his younger sister upstairs. He became curious when he spotted her entering Huo Yulin’s room.

He could smell a light sandalwood scent upon entering the room.

Huo Yao was cutting the incense with a cutting tool. She did not try to hide anything when she spotted Huo Tingrui entering the room.

“Yao, are you...” asked Huo Tingrui as he picked up an incense stick and smelled it, “...Is this sandalwood incense?”

Huo Yao nodded without stopping her work.

Huo Tingrui glanced at the tools on the table and exclaimed. “Do you know how to make incense?”

Although Huo Tingrui knew very little about incense, his friend knew quite a bit, so he was slightly more informed about the topic.

He did not expect his little sister, who had grown up in a small town, would know how to make incense. Also, her actions looked highly skilled. It all came as a huge surprise to him.

People who dabbled in incense generally had a faintly refined air. No wonder his sister had such an excellent aura and did not seem like a girl from the countryside.

“A little,” replied Huo Yao in a soft voice, with her head lowered. She quickly finished cutting up the incense and packed them into a box.

Huo Tingrui touched his chin thoughtfully. These incense sticks did not look as if they were made by an inexperienced hand. In a casual tone, he continued to grill her. “Did you get professional training for this when you were staying with your grandmother?

Huo Yao raised her head and looked at him with confidence in her eyes. “No, I learned it on my own.”

She was the only person who dared to add Chinese medicine to sandalwood incense.

Huo Tingrui was about to applaud Old Madam Yang for grooming Huo Yao so well. But the next instant, his self-esteem suffered a severe blow when he heard her say that she had learned it independently.

Ever since his sister came home, he was proudly relegated as mere decoration to help bring out her intelligence.

Huo Yao failed to notice the look on Huo Tingrui’s face. Instead, she took her phone from her pocket and opened her WeChat to send Min Yu a text: [Are you there? The incense I told you about, is here. Can we pick a place to meet so that I can hand it over to you?]

Although Min Yu rejected her offer, she had to return the favor.

Huo Yao had a deep look in her eyes as some unknown thoughts crossed her mind. Her phone beeped quickly. She read the message and put her phone back in her pocket.

She said to her brother, “I have to go out.”

Then she took the box of nerve-soothing incense and headed out.

Huo Tingrui was quietly waiting for his younger sister to give him some incense, but she took off with all of it.

In an instant, he trailed behind her and asked her shamelessly in a somewhat begrudging tone. “Yaoyao, didn’t you make any incense for me?”

Huo Yao halted and turned to glance at him. “There’s nothing wrong with you, so you don’t need it.”

Huo Tingrui’s throat choked. His point was, should she not have made it for everyone?

Moreover, he was her biological second older brother!
