Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 576: Zhuo Yun Has A New Assignment

The car arrived outside the library 30 minutes later.

Since Huo Yao had already received a text from Min Yu, she walked out around the same time the car pulled up in front of the library.

Yang Yi did not want to play the third wheel, so he had gotten off halfway.

Zhuo Yun was accustomed to driving, so it only dawned on him when Yang Yi brought it up that they would be playing gooseberry if they stayed around. Hence, he got off the car with Yang Yi.

Huo Yao walked up to the car. Just as she was about to get into the back seat, the front passenger seat car window opened and Min Yu’s cool voice could be heard.

“Take the front seat.”

Huo Yao looked sideways inside the car as she opened the door and asked while she got in. “Where is Zhuo Yun?”

Min Yu went quiet for a few seconds before he replied. “He has a new job.”

It seemed that Min Yu no longer needed Zhuo Yun to play chauffeur anymore.

Huo Yao raised her brow. She did not ask any further and fastened the seat belt unhurriedly.

Before long, Min Yu started the engine.

Huo Yao yawned and looked somewhat groggy. She turned to tell Min Yu she was taking a nap before she straightened her jacket, made herself comfortable, and closed her eyes.

Min Yu looked into the side mirror before he turned on the heater.

Even though the library was only about 30 minutes from their estate, Min Yu took the car for a spin when he noticed that Huo Yao was in deep sleep.

By the time they got back to the estate, one hour had passed. Huo Yao gradually woke up with grogginess in her eyes. She discovered a jacket covering her when she moved.

Huo Yao smelled a faint cool scent and instinctively turned sideways to look at Min Yu. She was completely awake now. She cleared her throat before returning his jacket.

“Thanks.”

Min Yu took the jacket from her and behaved normally. “You are welcome.”

He put on the jacket calmly while Huo Yao watched and did not seem to have any OCD at all.

Huo Yao raised her hand to touch her nose. An odd feeling rose in her heart, but she did not think too deeply about it. Instead, she undid her seat belt and said, ” Thanks. See you.”

Min Yu nodded at her.

Huo Yao got off the car. Cold wind was blowing outside and it helped her clear her head a lot more.

She walked up to the main entrance and entered the password. She turned to glance back before she entered the villa and saw Min Yu’s car still parked outside. He seemed to be waiting for her to enter the villa before he left.

Huo Yao looked at the car for two seconds before heading inside the villa.

Min Yu straightened his jacket inside the car and Huo Yao’s faint scent wafted from the jacket. Before long, he started the engine.

Huo Yao changed into her slippers and entered the living room to see Tong Yu sitting there. She was somewhat surprised by his presence and quickly walked over and greeted him.

Tong Yu stood up when he spotted Huo Yao and retrieved a cheque from his bag. “Here is the fee for the ad.”

Huo Yao’s eyes promptly lit up. She extended her hand to take the cheque. After looking at the figure, she was clearly in a good mood.

Was a cheque capable of making Huo Yao that happy?

Huo Xiang glanced at Tong Yu expressionlessly. “Did you come all the way here to give her the cheque?”

“Uh huh.” Tong Yu did not notice anything amiss and promptly nodded.

“Couldn’t you have just given it to me?”

Tong Yu zipped up his briefcase before he sat on the couch and replied. “I was just a little worried about giving it to you.”

Huo Xiang was clueless as to why Tong Yu would have doubts over such a minor matter.
