Ling Zhenfei said, "You're not ordinary, don't belittle yourself. Your dad is Cao Qinglin, which ans you're destined not to be an ordinary girl."
Cao Xueyi said, "Stop ntioning my dad. Maybe I'd be better off without him. It's because of him that I feel restricted everywhere.
This ti, opening a restaurant is the first decision I've made on my own. Otherwise, whatever I do, I'm always under his shadow."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "What about a boyfriend? Why haven't you found one?"
Cao Xueyi looked at Ling Zhenfei and after about three seconds, lowered her head and said, "I want to, but I never find the right one. Even if I do, they aren't interested in ."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "How could that be? Just tell him your dad is Cao Qinglin. I bet any young guy would quickly follow you ho to et your father-in-law."
Cao Xueyi laughed and said, "If soone did follow ho to et my father-in-law, do you think I'd like that kind of person?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "If you don't even like them, then maybe your standards are a bit too high. Given your looks, family background, and abilities, you're top-notch all around."
Cao Xueyi nodded and said, "Finally, you're saying sothing true. Exactly, for soone as good as , how could there be anyone who doesn't like , right?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Maybe it's because you haven't expressed yourself. Maybe that guy doesn't even know. Perhaps he feels the sa way about you."
Cao Xueyi said, "No way, I've made myself quite obvious."
Ling Zhenfei said, "That, I don't know. Anyway, just give it another try."
Cao Xueyi looked at Ling Zhenfei, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more.
The two drank wine, holding their glasses, a handso man and a beautiful woman under the dim lights of Xi Shan Restaurant.
The scenery of Xi Shan Restaurant was very beautiful. Little did anyone outside know that Ling Zhenfei and Cao Xueyi were part of this picturesque scene.
In the scene, a man and a woman sat across from each other drinking on the second floor, under the dim light.
Ling Zhenfei checked the ti and said, "It's getting late. Let's go rest."
Cao Xueyi felt a bit disappointed but said, "Yes, let's go rest."
The two went upstairs together. Ling Zhenfei and Cao Xueyi wished each other good night and each returned to their own rooms. Ling Zhenfei could feel that many people were staying around, and he could even hear faint snoring.
Lying on his bed, Ling Zhenfei reflected on the conversation about the girls around him.
Cao Xueyi analyzed every girl, except for Bai Ling, as she had moved away, and even if she were a girlfriend, they were almost broken up.
In fact, Ling Zhenfei missed Bai Ling a lot, especially on such solitary nights. Although her temper was a bit fiery, she was kind-hearted and hated evil passionately.
But it seed all this no longer concerned Ling Zhenfei, as he didn't want to hold Bai Ling back.
Actually, Ling Zhenfei didn't want to hold back any of the girls around him or let them down, but sotis it was not sothing he could choose.
When girls go crazy, they're crazier than boys. They often don't care about anything; perhaps this is what they call love's reckless abandon.
Ling Zhenfei knew he couldn't make everyone happy, but he secretly vowed that if anyone was willing to follow him, he would try his best not to let them down.
Ti passed quickly. Ling Zhenfei didn't know how he fell asleep, but he soon woke up because he heard a noise outside.
Ling Zhenfei was very sensitive to sounds. During cultivation, he could sense everything around him, but when sleeping, his body couldn't feel it, so his Divine Sense would activate.
This ti, Ling Zhenfei sensed a sound outside, and it was abnormal enough to wake him up.
He checked the ti, it was only four in the morning, a ti when people are usually the sleepiest.
No matter who it is, by this ti they should be very sleepy, but Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense indeed picked up a sound.
He quickly and quietly slipped out the door, heading outside.
Following his Divine Sense to the source of the sound, he realized it was coming from the kitchen.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked. How could there be noise in the kitchen? Could soone be stealing things?
Anyone would know there are things in this kitchen, so even a few thieves breaking in would be normal.
Sure enough, just as he reached the kitchen door, he sensed soone inside.
Ling Zhenfei extended his Divine Sense into the room, and indeed found two people inside.
The two were quietly searching for sothing.
At this mont, one of them said, "How co it's not here?"
"It can't be missing. Maybe it's not stored here."
The other said, "The restaurant opens tomorrow, where else could it be if not here?"
Ling Zhenfei understood imdiately. They knew the restaurant was opening tomorrow, so they believed the Heart-Talk Fruit should be here, but they couldn't find it.
Of course, the Heart-Talk Fruit wasn't here because it was too valuable and only delivered early in the morning. He never expected soone to have designs on it.
Ling Zhenfei was both amused and annoyed, not knowing how to deal with the two.
Then he suddenly heard a bird call, and he was stunned. How could there be a bird sound in the kitchen?
But the call was very familiar. His heart leaped, could it be his Lightning Whinny, the Golden Bird?
Back in Tangcheng, he had left the Golden Bird with He Lingxiu while it was sleeping. Things got complicated, and he didn't have ti to handle it, but now he heard the Golden Bird's call again.
At this point, one of them said, "Look, there's a bird here, standing still!"
"Yeah, look at its beautiful feathers. It could fetch a high price if sold."
Ling Zhenfei was startled; he didn't expect them to have their eyes on his Golden Bird.
Ling Zhenfei focused on his Golden Bird. The Golden Bird had indeed grown bigger, standing by the window, not moving.
But its feathers and overall appearance were extraordinary, the bird was unusual. Just one call would make anyone realize its value.
The two kids, unable to find the Heart-Talk Fruit, slowly approached the Lightning Bird.
One of them, quick-eyed and deft, reached out to grab the Lightning Bird.
Though it seed within reach, sohow, the Lightning Bird was not caught.
