Yuan Xi composed herself and did not want to ruin her mother's good impression of Yuan Huan. Instead, she said softly, "Dad, Mom, I'm going back to my room."
Mother Yuan paused and looked at Yuan Xi. When she saw that Yuan Xi did not look worried, she instinctively turned to look at her father.
Sure enough, her father's face darkened.
Yuan Xi's mother's heart sank. She knew that her daughter and Yuan Huan were at odds. However, Yuan Xi was usually throwing a tantrum. How could she be so immature in front of her father?
Thus, before Father Yuan could lose his temper, Mother Yuan hurriedly explained, "Xiaoxi has also been sick and feeling unwell recently. She must be very worried about her big brother …"
Yuan Xi smiled sadly. She did not say a word and went upstairs slowly.

After Huo Yao hung up the call with Yuan Xi, she opened her WeChat.
Assistant Wang had not replied to her message in the afternoon.
Huo Yao crossed her legs and stroked her phone gently. She wondered if she had gone overboard by asking the association for herbs.
Min Yu brought a plate of washed fruits over and placed it on the coffee table. He sat down next to her. "What are you thinking about?"
Huo Yao tilted her head to look at Min Yu. Her eyes were clear and bright as she said, "I don't think I can take too much advantage of him."
"Huh?" Min Yu did not quite understand what she meant. But he raised his brow and said, "It depends on who I'm talking to."
Huo Yao's face twitched. She turned to pick up a cherry from the coffee table and stuffed it into Min Yu's mouth. "I think you should stop talking."
Min Yu chuckled.
Huo Yao automatically ignored his smile. After she finished the fruit, she looked at the time and stood up. "I have something to attend to. I have to go."
She still had some leftover herbs at home. She needed to make some medicine for Huo Yulin.
Although the Institute of Virology was covering for the time being, it was not a long-term solution.
She wondered what Huo Yulin was looking for in the medical school.
Min Yu did not ask her to stay. He stood up and took his jacket. "Okay."

Meanwhile, at the Chinese Medicine Association.
Assistant Wang had just walked out of the medicine storage room when he bumped into Vice Chairman Qin. He was stunned. His hand, which was already in his coat pocket, subconsciously tightened.
Soon, Assistant Wang nodded at Vice President Qin. "Vice President Qin."
Vice President Qin didn't seem to notice his movements. He took two steps closer to him, glanced at the folder in his hand, and put on a kind smile. "Assistant Wang, it's been hard on you. It's so late, but you're still counting the medicine."
Assistant Wang lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "It's all part of our responsibilities. Take stock early so that the end of the month won't be so messy."
Vice President Qin nodded. His eyes fell on Assistant Wang's face again. "Yes, we have to take a good look. If something goes wrong, it won't be easy to explain to the president."
Assistant Wang kept her head down and didn't reply.
Vice President Qin smiled and said, "Therefore, we can't afford to lose every single pill in this storeroom."
When Assistant Wang heard this, he finally raised his head and looked at Vice President Qin.
It was a warning.
Assistant Wang loosened his grip on his coat pocket. After some time, he replied. "Don't worry. Not a single pill is missing."
Vice President Qin nodded in satisfaction. He had always admired people who knew how to adapt to the circumstances. He did not continue talking about the quantity of medicine and changed the topic. "Oh right, about the vice president that the president secretly recruited …"
