The old man raised his brow and asked curiously. “What incense is that? Is it sandalwood or agarwood?”

“Sandalwood.” Huo Yao did not raise her head as she placed the incense burner on a coffee table and lit the incense with a lighter.

The moment she lit it, a faint sandalwood scent wafted through the room quickly. There was an underlying fragrance of herbs in the incense, and it felt refreshing.

The old man was a frequent user of incense, so he knew a thing or two about them. Also, he was in the habit of using top-grade incense. However, he clearly looked surprised when he smelled Huo Yao’s incense.

“There seem to be a lot of Chinese herbs in the incense.” He paused for two seconds and sniffed the air before he said in surprise, “This is good incense.”

Huo Yao raised her brow and looked at the old man lying in bed. “You sure know your stuff. How could you claim to be from the countryside?”

The old man took two more bites of the porridge before he asked. “Where did you buy this incense from?”

In all his years of using incense, he never felt so refreshed before.

“I bought it online for $9.90, including shipping. Do you want to get some?” asked Huo Yao randomly.

The old man’s lips twitched. He placed the bowl on the bedside table as he said angrily, “Who are you trying to fool? If you can buy this for $9.90, I will cut off my head.”

“Your head is worthless anyway,” Huo Yao pursed her lips and replied in disdain.

The old man was flabbergasted. “!!!”


The moment she would find out his identity, she was bound to get a shock!

Huo Yao took the bowl from the bedside table before she continued. “I’m doing you a favor by letting you use this incense.”

She initially did not want to use this incense on him. Since her mother told her to take good care of him, she reluctantly did it.

Also, considering his comments about the incense, she could tell that he was no ordinary old man.

However, she could not be bothered trying to figure out who he was.

“What do you mean by doing me a favor? Doesn’t it cost $9.90? I’ll give you $99 now for an entire box.” The old man was displeased when he heard what Huo Yao said.

Everyone treated him with reverence wherever he went. Only this young woman disrespected him completely!

The old man could not let her get away with it. He had to find the chance to teach the young woman a lesson so that she would learn the consequence of disrespecting him.

Huo Yao glanced at him quietly. Did he want to buy her incense for $99?

She was just thinking that the old man knew his stuff, but now... He turned out to be just a stingy old man.

“Wash up and rest.”

Huo Yao walked out with the empty bowl.

She slammed the door hard on her way out.

The old man touched his chin inexplicably. Things were fine when they were chatting. Why did she suddenly get angry?

Young people were certainly temperamental and impatient!

The old man sneered before he lay down in bed, pulled up the blanket, and closed his eyes.

He felt a lot more relaxed after inhaling this incense. Before long, he fell asleep unknowingly.

*

The next day, the old man woke up to find himself particularly energetic. All the discomfort that he suffered yesterday was gone.

The old man got out of bed and looked at the ashes in the incense burner on the coffee table, and mulled on something briefly.

He washed up quickly before he headed out of the room with his walking stick.
