Wang Jing nodded. She narrowed her eyes and teased. “Uh huh. You are pretty and Mr. Yuan is quite young. It is only natural for him to pay extra attention to you.”
Huo Yao went speechless.
“I was just joking.” Wang Jing cleared her throat. She glanced at the laboratory entrance before she continued. “I just think he wants something from you. I’m not talking about a boy-girl relationship. I just can’t put my finger on it.”
When Wang Jing had inadvertently caught him looking at Huo Yao, the look in his eyes sent chills down her back.
Something was really strange about it.
Huo Yao nodded. She retrieved a bottle from her coat pocket. She took a white pill from the bottle and popped it into her mouth. The pill had a medicinal scent and a refreshing taste. She turned to say to Wang Jing without the slightest humility. “He probably thinks I am a genius for coming up with this system.”
Wang Jing’s lip twitched. She said mockingly, “Yes, you’re simply brilliant.”
Huo Yao smiled and did not continue with the subject. She waved the bottle and said, “I made this candy. It’s very refreshing. Do you want one?”
Wang Jing extended her hand without holding back.
After giving Wang Jing a pill, Huo Yao asked Dai Jie and Tang Jun if they were interested. Since they were busy working, they turned down her offer.
Huo Yao did not insist and simply put away the bottle.
“What’s this candy made of? It has a herbal scent. I must say I do feel a lot more energetic after taking it.” Wang Jing looked at her in surprise as she ate the candy.
Huo Yao raised her brow and shrugged. “Everyone likes my candy.”
Wang Jing nodded. She did not continue chatting with Huo Yao. She rolled her chair back to her computer and continued working on the database.
Huo Yao veered her eyes and got back to work.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket, so she took it out for a look. The moment she saw the sender, she opened the message immediately.
Y: [I have given the meds to the clan leader. Things are looking up.]
Y: [Uncle Mi is probably leaving in a couple of days. I won’t be able to stop him.]
Y: [I want to come out and see the world. Can you tell me how to leave the misty forest?]
After Huo Yao was done reading the text messages from Shangguan Yun, she paused before she composed a reply: [It’s an evil world out there. If you value your life, I suggest you stay home.]
Y: […]
Yuan Huan had gone out to answer the phone. When he came back, Huo Yao saw him from the corner of her eye and stopped smiling. She decided to stop texting and put her phone away.
