Dai Huabin: Brother, You Smell So Good!

Inside the exclusive medical room of Star Luo Palace, Dai Huabin saw Tang San lying on the bed the moment he entered. Without slowing down, he walked straight over, sat on the edge of the bed, and placed the food box in his hand on the bedside table.

He knew full well that his mother had not sent him with this bowl of soup out of simple concern. She wanted him to take the opportunity to win Tang San over and tie this Shrek genius with limitless potential to his own chariot.

After all, the competition for the inheritance of White Tiger Duke's Mansion was growing fiercer by the day. Without enough support, taking the duke's seat was nothing more than a fool's dream.

What Dai Huabin did not know was that his expectant father, Dai Hao, was heading toward a humiliating outcome—one where he would be rebuffed and even publicly shamed.

"Tang San, my mother specially prepared this nourishing soup for you. It replenishes your qi and blood, so drink it while it's hot." Dai Huabin opened the food box, and a rich medicinal fragrance mixed with the full-bodied aroma of meat broth wafted through the room.

His nose twitched slightly. For some reason, he felt that Tang San seemed to carry a faint, pleasant fragrance today, unlike the youthful scent he usually had.

"I must have smelled wrong." Dai Huabin shook his head and cast the absurd thought aside.

Tang San silently nodded and reached out to take the bowl.

All he wanted now was to finish the soup quickly and send Dai Huabin away, so he could deal with that unbearable "loss" alone.

But he could never have imagined that this seemingly caring bowl of nourishing soup would soon drag him into an even greater storm.
