Min Yu hung up the phone when he saw Huo Yao standing at the door. He walked up to the door and asked. “Why didn’t you come in?”
Huo Yao replied with a shrug. “Oh. You looked busy.”
“Uh huh. I happen to have some work to handle. Are you done watching the television?” Min Yu glanced towards the living room.
Huo Yao yawned, making her eyes water a little. She shook her head. “Nope. It’s getting late.”
Min Yu pondered. He raised his hand to check the time and said, “I still have some work to settle. There is an empty room next door. If you are tired, you can take a nap there.”
“Nope. If I get home past 10:00 pm, I am going to get it from Brother Tingrui.” Huo Yao waved her hand and continued. “Why don’t you get back to work? I can take a cab and go back on my own.”
Min Yu went quiet.
Even though Huo Yulin was working late, there was still Huo Tingrui to worry about.

Min Yu rubbed his forehead. “Give me a minute.”
He went to the room next door, took a warm jacket, and placed it on Huo Yao. “Let’s go. I will send you home.”
Huo Yao raised her brow and glanced at him before following behind him.
Huo Yao got home 30 minutes later.
Huo Tingrui had already been discharged from the hospital a few days ago. He sat in the living room with doc.u.ments on the coffee table and his laptop on his thighs as he typed away. When he saw his little sister, he put down the laptop and checked the time. “Yao, you are late.”
“Uh huh. I had dinner with a friend,” replied Huo Yao with a straight face.
“What friend?” Huo Tingrui removed his spectacles and looked at her quizzically. Was it the a.s.shole?

Huo Yao glanced at him sideways. She refused to answer him. “Brother Tingrui, are you feeling unwell again?”
“Don’t change the subject.” This was a serious topic, so Huo Tingrui refused to let it slide.
Huo Yao walked over and gave him the bag in her hand. “My friend pa.s.sed me some Chinese herbs, so we had dinner together.”

Huo Tingrui could smell the scent of Chinese herbs coming from the bag. He touched his nose and pondered. Was he being oversensitive?2
He glanced inside the bag and saw an exquisite box there. He paused briefly before taking it out. “What’s this?”
Huo Yao leaned against the couch armrest lazily without taking a seat. “It’s a members.h.i.+p card someone gave me.”
What kind of members.h.i.+p cards came in such intricate packaging?
Huo Tingrui opened the box curiously. It contained an entirely black card resembling a magnetic card. It was slightly smaller than an average name card and was as well made as the box.
From the looks of it, it was very high-end.

Huo Tingrui held up the card. He could see three words embossed in gold on it. “Deputy Chairman? That sounds unusual for a members.h.i.+p card. Sounds just like MLM.”
Huo Tingrui teased.
Huo Yao raised her brow and nodded. “Probably.”

“What can you get with this members.h.i.+p card?” Huo Tingrui checked out the card again. Other than its exceptionally high quality, he could not tell what it was for.
“It kind of works like a discount card.” Huo Yao contemplated before she replied.

Huo Tingrui felt that it certainly sounded like something his little sister could use. He placed the card back into its box without asking further.

Huo Yao leaned against the couch’s backrest. She recalled something and said, “Did you take the meds I gave you regularly?”Huo Tingrui nodded.
“Since you have told me to take them, I made sure that I took them diligently.”
“Uh huh, In that case, have an early night. I will give you acupuncture treatment in a couple of days,” added Huo Yao.
Huo Tingrui instantly looked so worried that even his voice changed. “Why do I suddenly need acupunctur
