Ultra Sweet.
Tang Yaoyao was blacklisted by the Fourth Master of the Xiao Family. Quickly, she reunited with her relatives: 'Big Brother, I'm your long-lost little sister. Why don'...
However, the indifference she showed towards Lin Hui was something Tang Yaoyao could never express.
Since Lin Hui was imprisoned, she has never visited her, nor has she asked about her, as if Lin Hui had never existed.
Since she was already there, Tang Yaoyao naturally wanted to get down to business. She then glanced at Tang Yujiao and said, "I want to talk to Lin Feng about something."
She meant for Tang Yujiao to leave.
Tang Yujiao showed no expression, seemingly unconcerned, and looked at Huo Linfeng, saying, "Alright, you two talk."
He calmly left the office.
"Grape, sit down, don't stand," Huo Linfeng called gently to Tang Yaoyao.
"Okay." Tang Yaoyao sat down opposite him. "I haven't come to see you lately, are you upset with me?"
Huo Linfeng was very indulgent towards her, and also felt sorry for her: "No, you're busy with work, and so am I. How could I blame you?"
Tang Yaoyao rested her chin on her hand, looked at him carefully, and was a little happy: "It's good that you understand me. Don't misunderstand me. I don't think you're important."
"Am I important to Grape?" Huo Linfeng asked again.
"Of course." Tang Yaoyao said with utmost seriousness, her big eyes filled with sincerity: "The most important person besides my brother."
Huo Linfeng smiled happily. He didn't need fancy words; just one important sentence was enough to satisfy him: "Your words have made all my unhappiness disappear."
"You're too easy to fool," Tang Yaoyao teased.
"That's what happens when you're a grape."
After hearing what Tang Yujiao had said, Tang Yaoyao asked again, "Have you been getting all the news about me from Tang Yujiao lately?"
Huo Linfeng smiled and looked at her with his deep eyes: "I don't want to bother you."
Tang Yaoyao is surrounded by many people, she is very happy, Xiao Jinhan loves her very much, and she has so many brothers.
If we were to rank them, he wouldn't be the most important one.
He was self-aware and didn't ask for anything in return. He was content as long as he could find out about her from afar and she had time to come and see him.
Looking at Huo Linfeng's smile, which was gentle yet made her feel uneasy, she said, "Linfeng."
"Um?"
"Don't laugh. I know you're disappointed, but you're smiling so happily at me. It breaks my heart." Tang Yaoyao isn't heartless.
Huo Linfeng pursed his lips, feigning indifference: "Then I won't laugh anymore. Are you feeling any better?"
This made Tang Yaoyao feel even worse, but not so bad that she disliked it.
"Don't worry about it too much. I like seeing Grapes smile; that's my biggest wish. As for me, I'm doing quite well now." Huo Linfeng said, "If you're doing well, then I'm doing well."
She understood what Huo Linfeng was saying.
"Let me see your hands."
Tang Yaoyao was still concerned about the wound on his hand.
Her father went to great lengths to save her last time.
She always kept it in her heart.
Huo Linfeng did not refuse and showed her his hands. They were long and slender with well-defined joints, but there was a scar on his wrist. Although it was very faint, Tang Yaoyao's heart ached and she felt a little guilty.
"The scar is still there, isn't that disfiguring you?"
Huo Linfeng didn't think so: "It's faded. It's normal for men to have scars."
"But every time I see it, it still breaks my heart."
Huo Linfeng said, "Then I'll get a tattoo here, and you won't be able to see it."
"Doesn't tattooing hurt too?"
"Hmm, it doesn't hurt much," Huo Linfeng said.
Tang Yaoyao stroked his wrist and gently blew on it: "And now?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Huo Linfeng played along with her, smiling, "Grape, when did you become so childish?"
"That's because it makes me feel a little better," Tang Yaoyao said in a coquettish tone.
Huo Linfeng withdrew his hand, realizing what was going on, and asked, "What brings you here?"
"Are you a tapeworm in my stomach?" Tang Yaoyao was unconvinced. He knew everything, so what use was she to him?
Huo Linfeng said, "I knew you had something to discuss with me when I saw you outside. I know what you're doing right now; I didn't find out about your whereabouts for nothing."
"Oh." Tang Yaoyao's chair could rotate 360 degrees. She turned her back to the chair and looked at the ceiling: "There is a flower that is extinct. It is poisonous, but books record that it has medicinal properties. If it has killed people before, but later saved people, how is that possible?"
Huo Linfeng thought for a while: "Some herbs have medicinal properties and some have toxicity. Many herbs also have mutual reinforcement and mutual restraint. They can cure diseases, but eating too much can kill people."
Tang Yaoyao turned her head and asked, "There was once a divine physician who ate this flower and was poisoned. Without any medicine, he cured himself with this flower. How likely do you think that is?"
She thought Fu Xitan might have been poisoned, but the wine-tail flower had become extinct, and there were no records of it or anyone who knew about its toxicity.
Apart from Tang Yaoyao's memories of her past life.
Seeing Tang Yaoyao struggling with this question, Huo Linfeng couldn't help but ask, "Are you having some trouble? You're not poisoned, are you?"
Seeing that Tang Yaoyao looked well, she didn't seem to want to be poisoned.
Tang Yaoyao said, "I'm fine, I was just giving an example."
She didn't know how to explain it.
There is no scientific basis for this, so it's absurd to say.
No one has studied the problem of flowers.
"My guess is this: the petals, stems, leaves, and roots have different functions. Some can be used as medicine, while others are highly poisonous. They are inherently complementary and mutually restraining, requiring people to distinguish between them. That divine doctor was poisoned, but obtained the antidote through other parts. The part that was poisonous needed to be removed."
After hearing Huo Linfeng's explanation, Tang Yaoyao made a new discovery and immediately felt that it was a guiding light.
She was quite pleased and quickly went up to take Huo Linfeng's hand: "You truly are my benefactor, so clever!"
"Benefactor?" Huo Linfeng didn't understand.
Tang Yaoyao changed her tune: "What you said earlier makes some sense. Perhaps it's not that the toxicity outweighs the medicinal properties, but rather that the doctor didn't figure out which part was poisonous and which part could be used medicinally. It's like a certain fruit where the fruit is edible, but the seeds are poisonous!"
You're amazing!
After Tang Yaoyao's praise, Huo Linfeng smiled indulgently: "I just mentioned it casually, I'm not a professional doctor."
"But I believe in you."
Tang Yaoyao's eyes sparkled as she smiled at him.
Huo Linfeng stared at her for a while, and it was obvious to outsiders that he was in a good mood, but he stopped there: "I've answered your question. You should go back and get busy. I also have to go to a meeting later, so I probably won't be able to stay with you."
Tang Yaoyao stood up and smiled charmingly: "Then I'll be going. I won't disturb your meeting, lest others say you're being passive and negligent when you see a beautiful woman."
"Who's the beauty?"
"Of course it's me." Tang Yaoyao blinked. "Am I not pretty?"
Huo Linfeng laughed: "Beautiful, the most beautiful grapes I've ever seen."
Huo Linfeng escorted her downstairs, gave her a warm hug, and only drove off after she got into the car.
The assistant said, "It seems we don't have any meetings today."
