Cao Xueyi snorted and said, "Isn't Xu Yuyu marrying my dad just for our family's wealth? Women like her are the worst."

Ling Zhenfei didn't know what to say; Xu Yuyu's eagerness to have a child indeed had something to do with this.

What woman doesn't want to marry into a wealthy family? Although Xu Yuyu was a celebrity before, celebrities are just people too.

After seeing enough darkness in the entertainment industry, it's actually understandable to find a rich person to marry.

Cao Xueyi clinked her glass with Ling Zhenfei again, and they both finished their drinks. Then she poured another for Ling Zhenfei.

Cao Xueyi said to Ling Zhenfei, "What's going on with you? Are you really breaking up with Bai Ling?"

Ling Zhenfei said helplessly, "Actually, Bai Ling and I never dated, so there's no breakup to talk about."

Cao Xueyi was slightly shocked and said, "No way, everyone thinks you two are a couple."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "But saying that doesn't make a difference, it's just the truth."

Cao Xueyi said, "I've read a lot about you online, and it seems like there are many girls around you, like those girls mentioned with me before. Which one is it?"

Cao Xueyi was referring to the last time during the Tangcheng incident when a post online linked several women to Ling Zhenfei, herself included.

The other women were Yang Zixuan, Bai Ling, He Lingxiu, Jiang Hui, Ji Mei, Liu Bingying, and Zhou Yun.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Why don't you guess? Who do you think it is?"

Ling Zhenfei teased Cao Xueyi on purpose.

Cao Xueyi thought for a moment and said, "He Lingxiu, being your childhood friend, is of course very possible. But from my experience, childhood friends who end up together are rare."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, thinking Cao Xueyi made a point. It's because they were too familiar from a young age, having seen the most real sides of each other, that often made it hard to be together.

Cao Xueyi continued, "Zhou Yun is your sister-in-law, even if just nominally, but your relationship is probably more familial."

Ling Zhenfei nodded again, agreeing that Cao Xueyi's analysis was quite right, although only a few could truly understand the complexity of his relationship with Zhou Yun.

Cao Xueyi continued to analyze, "You definitely have some connection with Liu Bingying, that's for sure. But her being your girlfriend is unlikely; for one, she's older and has a child.

Though age doesn't really matter in relationships, I think you probably wouldn't go for it. Liu Bingying is at most a close confidante or secret lover."

Ling Zhenfei listened to Cao Xueyi's analysis without any change in expression, thinking that she represented the thoughts of many; anyone with half a brain would analyze it this way.

"As for Ji Mei, it's very hard to say and quite suspicious. Her company was about to go under, but not long after meeting you, you entrusted her company with selling the Elixir.

There's something fishy there. Why Ji Mei's company? What did she offer you? This invites speculation that Ji Mei could also be a lover."

Cao Xueyi continued seriously, "But we're analyzing who your girlfriend is, not a lover. Ji Mei, although once a celebrity, is several years older than you, so probably not."

Ling Zhenfei didn't expect Cao Xueyi to be so good at this, analyzing everything so thoroughly.

Cao Xueyi proceeded with her analysis, "That leaves me, Yang Zixuan, and Jiang Hui. We three share something in common — we're managers of your three restaurants.

If I were an outsider, I'd find it odd that all the restaurant managers are women and all so beautiful."

Ling Zhenfei knew that his information had already been dug up online thoroughly, especially after that post with the names.

Many people have analyzed it online, but it's just analysis.

Cao Xueyi must have her own analysis, and now perhaps she's testing him with this conversation.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Go on, you three are indeed very beautiful."

Cao Xueyi said, "Jiang Hui used to be your assistant, so no one knows what happened between you two. But it makes sense to appoint her as the restaurant manager."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "That makes sense, anything else?"

Cao Xueyi said, "After finishing my analysis, I think Yang Zixuan is the most likely."

Ling Zhenfei felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this and asked, "Why?"

Cao Xueyi explained, "You've known Yang Zixuan for a long time; you were colleagues. You've helped her multiple times, and she definitely has feelings for you. Logically, the possibility that you two are a couple is the highest."

One has to admit, Cao Xueyi's analysis makes sense. If analyzed logically, Yang Zixuan is most likely to be Ling Zhenfei's girlfriend.

If Ling Zhenfei hadn't discovered the secret of the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow and was just an ordinary person, the possibility of him and Yang Zixuan being together would be the highest and the best choice.

But the situation is different now. Ling Zhenfei is no longer an ordinary person, so it's not the same. Yang Zixuan is just a possible choice now.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Isn't there a possibility that I have another girlfriend, just that no one has found out?"

Cao Xueyi was stunned and said, "That's impossible. You're a big star now; every move you make is under scrutiny. If there were, how could no one know unless..."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Unless what?"

Cao Xueyi, in disbelief, said, "Unless your girlfriend is a celebrity?"

Ling Zhenfei was surprised and asked, "Why would you think that?"

Cao Xueyi replied, "I was just guessing. Only female celebrities attract more attention because, as they say, the most dangerous place is the safest."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're overthinking it; there's no celebrity involved. I was just joking with you."

"So who exactly is your girlfriend?" Cao Xueyi asked with anticipation.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Why do I have to have a girlfriend? Can't I just live alone?"

Cao Xueyi snorted and said, "Who would believe you have no girlfriend? With someone like you, I can't imagine how many women are around you."

Ling Zhenfei took a sip of his drink and said, "What's so special about someone like me? Aren't we all the same?"

Cao Xueyi said, "Not the same at all. Among young people, I've yet to see anyone who can achieve what you have — successful, responsible, and always staying true to yourself."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "You're making me feel a bit embarrassed."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Enough about me. All my little secrets must have been exposed by now. Let's talk about you."

Cao Xueyi said in slight panic, "What's there to say? I'm just an ordinary person."
