Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 211 121: The NO.1 in the entire Chinese medical industry_3

His thin lips pressed together, somewhat overly aloof.

A moment later, he walked over to Viola Thompson, extending the candy lollipop in his hand toward her.

"This is a candy lollipop, specific to Capital City. The crafting process is unique, try it out."

Viola reached out to take it, corners of her mouth lifting slightly, "Did you leave earlier just to buy this?"

"Yes." Terrence Lentz gave a slight nod.

Viola took a bite of the lollipop.

Removing the seeds.

The first bite was very satisfying, tangy yet sweet, coupled with a unique fragrance, indeed different from the usual lollipops she had.

"How is it?" Terrence's lips parted slightly.

"Very good." Viola nodded, eating three in one breath.

A moment later, she offered the candy lollipop to Terrence, "Would you like to try it too?"

Gazing at the lollipop brought to his mouth, Terrence hesitated, a faint red spreading across his ears.

There are differences between men and women.

Both of them sharing a candy lollipop seemed a bit inappropriate.

But looking at Viola, he couldn't find the words to decline.

Silently, Terrence took a bite of the candy lollipop.

The sour-sweet flavor instantly filled his mouth.

He never knew, that a candy lollipop could taste so good.

It was heavenly.

"Is it tasty?" Viola asked, watching him.

"Very sweet." Terrence's lips parted slightly.

Viola continued, "And the Berry Juice, how did that taste? Did you like it?"

"It has an odd flavor, foreigners may not be accustomed to it." replied Terrence.

Hearing this, Viola became extremely curious, "How strange."

Food's taste, no matter how strange it is, how strange can it be?

Terrence explained, "Hmm, probably similar to a spoiled taste."

"Should we try it?" Viola suggested.

Terrence looked at Viola, "Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Viola readily declared.

"Alright," Terrence nodded slightly, "There is an authentic Capital City Berry Juice shop over there, shall we explore?"

Viola matched her steps with Terrence's.

This shop was a famous old brand of Capital City.

Though it wasn't mealtime yet, the din was still deafening.

After waiting for a few minutes, the pair finally found an open seat.bender

Viola ordered a bowl of Berry juice, she turned to Terrence, "Would you like some?"

"One bowl," Terrence continued, "Also order some pancakes and glutinous rice rolls."

The waiter noted down their order.

"Are the pancakes and glutinous rice rolls also specialties of Capital City?" Viola asked.

"Yes."

Soon, their Berry Juice was served.

Unlike the creamy color of soymilk, Berry Juice was deeper, even somewhat black, and carried 
a strange aroma.

Viola knitted her brows slightly.

No wonder people claim the taste of Berry Juice is peculiar.

With this scent, it seemed indeed strange.

She took a tentative sip.

The unique flavor nearly sent Viola into a disgust, but she suppressed her revulsion and swallowed it all down.

"This is hard to drink!"

Never before had Viola found food she deemed inedible. Berry Juice was the first.

Terrence too, took a sip of the Berry Juice from the bowl, "It indeed doesn't taste good."

Viola picked up a piece of pancake and popped it into her mouth.

The sweet pancake immediately dispersed the odd taste in her mouth. This content is taken from (|n|o|]v|.e|l'|n|e |x|t|

Viola finished the piece of pancake, then raised the bowl of Berry Juice, and drained it in one shot.

Before Terrence could react, Viola had already placed the empty bowl back on the table.

"Didn't you find it unpleasant?" Terrence's brow rose in surprise.

"Even though it's unpleasant, every grain of rice, every drop of soup, we should not forget its source was hard to come by."

Wasting food is shameful.

Especially those who have experienced starvation, would understand the importance of cherishing food more than anyone else.

Terrence nodded slightly, "Makes sense."

Viola picked up another piece of pancake, "Though the Berry Juice doesn't taste great, the pancakes are good."

"Try the glutinous rice rolls too, they should suit your taste." Terrence handed Viola a glutinous rice roll with the serving chopsticks.

After finishing her pancake, Viola tried the glutinous rice roll, "Wow, this is also very tasty!"

"Then you should eat more. If it's not enough, we can order more." Terrence said.

"Okay."

At Wu City.

Betty Cooper's office.

Rebecca handed a file to Betty Cooper.

"Miss Cooper, this is all the detailed information on Viola Thompson for the past eighteen years."

Betty Cooper accepted the file and scrutinized it carefully.

Viola's life was very simple.

Before she turned seven, she lived in River City.

After turning seven, she was taken by Cynthia Wallace to the countryside.

There on, she lived in the countryside.

Looking closely at Viola Thompson's information, Betty Cooper raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is this all?"

Rebecca nodded, "That's it."

Upon mentioning this, it seemed Rebecca remembered something, "Oh right, here are some video interviews with Viola's countryside neighbors, would you like to watch?"
