Xu Yuyu said to Ling Zhenfei, "Mr. Ling, you really are considerate. Last night you spent so much time dealing with the poison, and now you're giving me something so important. I really feel bad about this."
At this moment, Ling Zhenfei was observing the expressions of the people around. Many people's expressions towards Xu Yuyu had changed, as they could sense Xu Yuyu was different now, her status was different.
As an outsider, the respect towards Xu Yuyu indicated the perception of an outsider towards a family.
Cao Xueyi's expression was not good. There was only one Heart-Talk Fruit, and it was given to Xu Yuyu, leaving Cao Xueyi to just watch. That feeling was indescribably unpleasant, but this was exactly the scene Ling Zhenfei wanted to see.
At this moment, Xu Yuyu asked, "I wonder how this Heart-Talk Fruit should be consumed?"
Ling Zhenfei explained, "There are two ways to eat this Heart-Talk Fruit. One way is to directly insert a straw and suck out the juice inside. The other is to pour out the juice and drink it from a cup."
"The juice in this fruit should be quite a lot, right? It should be enough to pour out two cups, right?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "That's right, it can indeed pour out two large cups. This is also where the name Heart-Talk Fruit comes from—it's meant to be shared by two people."
Xu Yuyu smiled and said, "Then please, Mr. Ling, divide the juice into two cups, as you said, it should be shared by two people."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and then took two cups, punched a hole in the Heart-Talk Fruit, and poured the juice out from inside.
The liquid that appeared in the two cups was red, looking somewhat like watermelon juice, but it was different.
Both cups were placed in front of Xu Yuyu. Xu Yuyu first kept a cup for herself and then picked up the other cup.
Everyone was watching Xu Yuyu, and it was obvious that she intended to give the other cup to someone else, but it was uncertain who that would be.
Many people were considering to whom Xu Yuyu would give it, with the likelihood leaning towards Cao Qinglin, as he was the one she could share heartfelt words with.
But after Xu Yuyu picked up the cup, she placed the other one in front of Cao Xueyi.
Everyone was stunned, including Cao Xueyi herself, because everyone knew that Xu Yuyu and Cao Xueyi were not on good terms, so no one expected Xu Yuyu to give it to Cao Xueyi.
Xu Yuyu said, "I'll give this cup to the little princess of the family. We two women should have heart-to-heart talks, but there were some misunderstandings before."
Xu Yuyu didn't say much, then she sat back down, leaving only a speechless Cao Xueyi.
Everyone was looking at Xu Yuyu, newly impressed by her magnanimity.
Actually, this was all designed by Ling Zhenfei. Giving the second cup to Cao Xueyi was planned by Ling Zhenfei in advance to make everyone have a higher opinion of Xu Yuyu, with Cao Xueyi being the best choice.
This could possibly change Cao Xueyi's view of Xu Yuyu and even ease the emotions between them.
Xu Yuyu and Cao Xueyi almost simultaneously raised their cups, and under everyone's watch, took a sip, and then both of them paused.
"Why does it taste so good? It's truly wonderful. How could there be such a thing?"
"Yeah, it really tastes good. The flavor is so unique; I have never tasted it before. It feels like the sensation of being in love."
"The name Heart-Talk Fruit is truly amazing, just like whispering sweet nothings with a lover—endlessly memorable."
All the people around couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Just how good does this Heart-Talk Fruit taste? After drinking it, the expressions of these two women were completely different, their entire demeanor changed.
"Dad, I've decided. I want to go to Binyang in the future. I want to drink the Heart-Talk Fruit again," Cao Xueyi directly said to Cao Qinglin.
Cao Qinglin laughed and said, "Is it really that good? That's an exaggeration."
Cao Xueyi said, "I won't lie to myself. You know what kind of person I am."
Cao Qinglin said, "You don't have to go to Binyang. Your Uncle Ling and I will be partners in the future, and when the restaurant opens, he can bring more for you."
"But I really want to see for myself how such a strange thing grows. I'm very curious," Cao Xueyi almost turned into a little girl whining to her dad.
Cao Qinglin turned to Ling Zhenfei and said, "Mr. Ling, your one Heart-Talk Fruit just captured my daughter's heart. You really are amazing."
Everyone around burst into laughter. Ling Zhenfei was pleased but did not speak.
At this time, Xu Yuyu leaned over to Cao Qinglin, whispered something to him, and after a brief discussion, Cao Qinglin stood up.
Cao Qinglin patted Ling Zhenfei on the shoulder and said, "Now, I want to announce something to everyone."
Cao Qinglin's words successfully caught everyone's attention, as they all turned to him, realizing that this one lunch was filled with many announcements.
Cao Qinglin smiled and said, "I discussed with my wife just now, and we've decided to have our unborn son recognize Mr. Ling Zhenfei as a godfather."
Cao Qinglin's words once again stirred the crowd, effectively pulling Ling Zhenfei into the Cao Family.
"So from now on, Divine Doctor Ling is like a family member to us in the Cao Family. Everyone agrees, right?"
Cao Qinglin scanned the room, and everyone agreed, except for one person—Cao Xueyi—who wasn't too pleased.
Cao Xueyi certainly had her own thoughts. If Xu Yuyu's child really became Ling Zhenfei's godson, she would truly have to call Ling Zhenfei uncle in terms of seniority.
"Have you considered my feelings at all?" Cao Xueyi said to Cao Qinglin.
Cao Qinglin said, "Of course we've considered your feelings. This way, Mr. Ling is your uncle, and the relationship is closer. When there are Heart-Talk Fruits, wouldn't they be given to you?"
Cao Xueyi said, "That's not what I mean. You guys... Never mind, you wouldn't understand."
Cao Qinglin turned to Ling Zhenfei and said, "Mr. Ling, what do you think? This way, our relationship deepens, and it benefits us both."
Ling Zhenfei acted with a somewhat troubled expression and said, "Is this really okay?"
Cao Qinglin said, "Of course it is. Let's settle it then. When the child is born, it's also your son."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright then, it looks like I'll need to prepare more gifts."
Everyone at the table was very happy, as they were delighted by such delicious dishes.
The Chinese are a very peculiar people, accustomed to discussing matters over meals, which makes negotiations very efficient—something other cultures could never learn to do.
After the meal, Cao Qinglin took Ling Zhenfei to tour his family estate.
Ling Zhenfei had his own standards for choosing Xi Shan Restaurant, guided by the benchmark set by Xi Shan Restaurant in Binyang, providing him with a strong sense of direction.
