Tong Yu touched his nose and smiled. “Her gift looks pretty unusual. What’s inside the bottle? Sand or some novelty?”

Young girls liked to prepare cute and unique presents. He knew a lot about this since he had received countless such gifts on behalf of Huo Xiang.

Huo Xiang glanced at him and said, “How can my little sister be like them?”

“So, what is it?” asked Tong Yu even more intriguingly.

Huo Xiang recalled the serious look on his little sister’s face when she had handed it to him. In an expressionless voice, he said, “Pills.”

“Pills?” asked Tong Yu with his eyes narrowed. “What pills?”

“I think they’re called Yuqing pills or something. She said it was good for expelling toxins and helped in physical recovery. I think it’s some kind of traditional concoction,” explained Huo Xiang.

Tong Yu found its name interesting and said, “Sounds like Chinese medicine. Mind letting me take a look?”

Huo Xiang passed the bottle to him.

Tong Yu opened it and smelled it. It certainly seemed like Chinese medicine. Despite its strong scent, it was refreshing and didn’t seem like the meds available in the market that came with a nauseating smell.

“These meds smell good,” said Tong Yu.

He put a pill into his palm and saw that it was the size of a green bean. He looked at Huo Xiang and asked him curiously. “Have you taken these yet?”

Huo Xiang shook his head and replied in a sad but resigned voice. “Given my condition, what’s the difference?”

There was no hope for the healing of his injuries.

“Don’t say that. Why don’t I show this pill to a Chinese physician that my friend introduced me to? Let’s check if it’s safe for consumption, hmm?”

Tong Yu put the cap back on and handed the bottle to Huo Xiang. He walked over to the office desk, pulled out two tissue papers, and wrapped the pill properly before placing it in his pocket.

Tong Yu raised his head and teased him. “Your little sister is surely different from those other girls.”

It was considered taboo to gift medicine to someone since it gave the impression that you were wishing ill-health to its recipient.

The moment Huo Xiang thought about his adorable little sister, his lips curved up asnd said, “Of course. That’s my sister we’re talking about.”

Tong Yu could not help rolling his eyes when Huo Xiang kept praising his sister and said, “You didn’t care much when your little sister first came back. Why the change in attitude?”

Then again, Huo Xiang’s little sister was stunning. If she entered the entertainment industry, she would definitely become public enemy number one for all female celebrities.

Just the thought made Tong Yu excited, so he beamed and suggested. “Why don’t you ask our baby sister and see if she’s interested in working in the entertainment industry? Just her face alone is....”

Their baby sister?

“MY little sister isn’t interested,” interrupted Huo Xiang coldly. Then he put on his mask and left the office.

The door slammed loudly behind Huo Xiang. Tong Yu blinked incomprehensibly. “Okay, so she’s not interested. Did he have to throw a temper?”

After leaving the office, Huo Xiang headed over to his personal villa to pack some essentials before going over to the Huo residence.

His key failed to open the door unexpectedly, leaving him perplexed. He resorted to pressing the bell, but no one answered after a long time. Finally, he called Song Ning.

Song Ning did not answer, so Huo Xiang called his father.

Thankfully, his father answered quickly. Huo Xiang looked at the main door and asked him in confusion. “Dad, why can’t I open the door with my keys? Did you change the locks?”
