Mi Wei had been waiting beside the computer. The moment he saw the reply, he picked up the mouse and tapped on it. He paused briefly and typed: [Is that you, Yu?]

  When Huo Yao saw the name, her hand froze briefly. She quickly composed herself and replied: [?]

  Mi Wei pondered for a few seconds before he typed: [Who gave you the Qinglian pill?]

  Huo Yao typed on the keyboard gently and replied: [Do you want to buy it or not? Stop wasting my time.]

  She spoke in a very impatient tone.

  Mi Wei was a little disappointed. Considering Yu’s personality, he decided to stop asking and simply gave her a number.

  Huo Yao’s cheek twitched when she saw the number appearing on the screen.

  He was such a miserly man. When she bought the seven leaf lotus from Min Yu, she spent $10, 000, 000. Was he offering only $1, 000,000 for the final product?

  It was as good as stealing.

  Huo Yao quickly replied in disdain: [I am not selling it for anything less than $20, 000, 000. I do not accept haggling.]

  Mi Wei went speechless.

  After Huo Yao was done sending the text message, she went onto the platform, adjusted the price, and signed off from the platform.

  Rich people were disgustingly miserly.

  Huo Yao turned off the computer and leaned into the seat backrest lazily. Two minutes later, she glanced at her backpack beside her.

  She paused briefly before she straightened her body and retrieved the thick set of documents she had received from Chen Ming earlier today.

  It contained details of the Huo family’s assets.

  Huo Yao flipped through the document page by page. The more she read the file, the more puzzled she felt.

  Why did Uncle Changfeng give this to her? There was only one reason for him to do it.

  Huo Yao’s phone rang on the table. She raised her head, glanced at the caller ID, and put down the documents to answer the phone.

  Min Yu stood on the balcony looking into the distance. He said, “Why are you still up at this hour of the night? What are you doing?”


  Huo Yao’s eyes landed on the documents. She sighed deeply. “Has anyone ever forced you to do something?”


  Min Yu raised his brow. “Huh?”


  Huo Yao leaned against her forehead and replied powerlessly. “Have you ever suddenly inherited millions of dollars?”


  “Are you bragging about your wealth or something?” Min Yu laughed deeply.

  Huo Yao had inadvertently seen his bank notification previously. She could not help tutting. “I am not as rich as you.”


  “It’s not easy to find a rich wife,” lamented Min Yu.

  Huo Yao went quiet.

  His skin was getting thicker by the day.

  Huo Yao yawned and asked. “Why did you call?”


  Min Yu tilted his body sideways to lean against the railing. He replied softly. “I was just thinking when we would go official.”


  Huo Yao replied. “I see. Perhaps you should just go to bed. Anything can happen in your dreams.”


  Min Yu’s lips twitched upon hearing this.

  “Oh yes. I might need your help delivering something tomorrow.” Huo Yao glanced at the laptop on the table as she spoke.

  “What time?” asked Min Yu.

  Huo Yao contemplated for a couple of seconds. “Probably in the morning. I am not sure.”


  “Okay. In that case, I will drop you off at the school since I am going out.”


  Huo Yao raised her brow. “Sure.”

  Huo Yao received a bank notification informing her of a transfer the next morning. She raised her brow without the slightest surprise.

  Also, she received a text message containing a delivery address from an unknown number.
