Song Ning happened to walk out of the greenhouse when Huo Yao got home. Huo Yao seemed a little better, so Song Ning felt less worried.

"Oh yes. Call Yu over for dinner later," said Song Ning as she placed some fresh flowers into a vase.

Huo Yao leaned against the table holding a cup of water. "We have already eaten outside."

Song Ning raised her head and glanced at her daughter. "Does this mean you went out in the afternoon to meet him?"

"Nope." Huo Yao took a sip of water and said calmly, "We just ran into each other, so we decided to have dinner together."

Song Ning paused for a couple of seconds before she put down her scissors. "Are the two of you dating?"

Huo Yao rubbed the bottom of her glass and after a moment, she acknowledged her mother.

Even though Song Ning could tell they were dating, she could not help feeling emotional when she heard it straight from the horse's mouth.

Huo Yao had only reunited with the family for roughly two years, but she was already starting to date someone. Song Ning sighed inwardly without saying anything out loud. She simply patted her daughter on the shoulder.

Huo Yao had assumed that her mother would try to convince her not to date Min Yu. From the looks of it, her mother surprisingly had nothing against it.

Perhaps her mother liked men with good-looking faces.

Huo Yao contemplated briefly before she asked. "Why aren't you objecting?"

"I know what I'm doing." Song Ning simply smiled as she shook her head without explaining further. "In any case, I think Yu is a good choice."

Huo Yao looked at her mother and asked. "Don't tell me Dad feels the same way?"

"Oh him? He just takes his cues from me," replied Song Ning nonchalantly before veering her eyes to continue trimming the flowers.

Huo Yao paused briefly and pondered. It was no wonder her father did not react negatively to Min Yu.

Her phone rang in her pocket.

It was a text message from Min Yu: [I'm going back to the capital tonight.]

Huo Yao tapped gently on the screen and replied: [Sure. Have a safe trip. Congrats. My parents approve of you.]

Min Yu was already on the way to the airport. When he saw Huo Yao's text message, he promptly smiled. He did not respond to her text message and simply reached out to turn on the music.

He played happy music in the car since he was in an excellent mood.

Huo Yao sent Mi Wei to the airport two days later.

"After you go home, don't ever come out again." Huo Yao was dressed in black as usual. As she spoke, she retrieved a phone from her bag.

Mi Wei was astonished to see the device. After taking the phone, he promptly unlocked it. "Where did you find it? After Shangguan Hou took it from me, I never saw it again."

Huo Yao straightened her coat. "I found it at the hotel. I've already turned off the GPS."

"Sure thing. Thanks." Mi Wei nodded. "Add your number to my phone, so we can stay in touch."

"Okay." Huo Yao took out her phone and sent him her number.

Mi Wei happily placed his phone into his pocket. "One more thing I forgot to mention. I brought a shoot along with me when I left home, but someone took it from me."

Huo Yao glanced at him. "Why did you bring it out with you?"

"I heard that the soil condition in City Huai was conducive for cultivating it, so I brought it along with me. I didn't expect someone to want it," said Mi Wei huffily.

He only managed to successfully cultivate it twice after all these years. However, he did not take it to heart when it was taken from him. After all, it was a dangerous ingredient.
