At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

The moment the cilantro entered his mouth, Weitu swore that once he returned, he would definitely banish anyone who ate cilantro to the desert.

The taste was like a huge, stinkbug exploding with branches and leaves in his mouth, making Weitu feel a complete rejection from the inside out.

"Oh! Seth! How can there be food with this kind of taste in the world! I feel like I'm about to die!"

"Cilantro isn't fragrant at all, I think it stinks!"

Even though he had already spit out the cilantro from his mouth, that peculiar smell was still rampaging through his mouth, making him wish he could cut his own tongue off with scissors right then and there.

He gulped down a large sip of tea, and the bitterness of the tea leaves mixed with the aldehyde fragrance of the cilantro made Weitu spray it right out.

"Oh my god, don't you think this tastes like food from hell?"

Watching others eat cilantro carelessly, even deliberately wrapping it with fish and stuffing it into their mouths.

Weitu felt like he was about to vomit.

"Haha, it seems our Prince Weitu cannot enjoy the deliciousness of cilantro,"

Chen Tian picked up a chopstick of twice-cooked pork, not avoiding the cilantro leaves that clung to the meat as he stuffed it into his mouth.

Lance was the same, he hadn't eaten cilantro before, but later overcame his fear under the influence of Chen Tian.

Now, he could almost say he was addicted to it.

Of course, Lance's previous aversion to cilantro was mainly psychological, but those who really couldn't eat cilantro were completely due to genetic reasons.

Survey data shows that about one-seventh of the world's population dislikes the taste of cilantro, describing it as soapy.

Research has found that SNP genetic variants play a certain role in the perception of cilantro's taste, and those who dislike cilantro all have a specific gene named OR6A2.

People with this gene are highly sensitive to the unique odor of cilantro.

Undoubtedly, Weitu was one of those one-seventh who disliked cilantro.

Watching the others eat with satisfaction, Weitu just shook his head.

Luckily, only two dishes used cilantro as a side ingredient; the rest of the dishes were normal.

Weitu finally realized that "ants climbing a tree" contained no ants, "husband and wife lung slices" were actually beef, and twice-cooked pork did not involve recooking the meat.

All the dishes were visually appealing and deliciously fragrant, allowing Weitu to enjoy a hearty meal regardless.

Apart from Weitu, there were two other guys who had been relentlessly devouring their food from the beginning to the end.

"Authentic Sichuan cuisine is rare, eat up!"

As the others were distracted, Gu Yu picked up a chopstick of dishes for Lin Xinyue.

Soon, Lin Xinyue's bowl was nearly full.

"Enough... too much... I can't finish it..."

Lin Xinyue blushed and hurriedly whispered for Gu Yu not to pick any more dishes for her.

"Eat more, eat more; before you know it, this opportunity will be gone!"

Gu Yu kept going regardless, even if there were three big shots sitting there, he couldn't let his girlfriend starve, could he?

Lin Xinyue wasn't comfortable in such settings and felt too shy to pick dishes herself, so he did it for her.

"I think you just want to fatten me up..."

Watching Gu Yu pick up another chopstick of husband and wife lung slices and put it in her bowl, Lin Xinyue couldn't help but mutter.

"A bit of extra weight is good. Look how thin you are, if you lose any more weight, your D-cup will turn into a C!"

Gu Yu sized up Lin Xinyue's figure.

If Lin Xinyue had slimmed down normally, he wouldn't have said anything, but her recent weight loss wasn't largely due to dieting.

It was entirely because she was tired!

The past week, she had been working to perfect the company's management system, and although she hadn't been working overtime much, the mental strain had made her lose weight.

"Psh, that's not true; my cup hasn't changed at all!"

Hearing Gu Yu's words, Lin Xinyue defiantly puffed out her proud chest.

The large gesture caught the attention of the other three tycoons.

Only then did Lance and the others remember there were two more people at the table…

"Hahaha, you two really have a great relationship—it reminds me of my wife!"

Lance laughed heartily.

"Every couple truly in love deserves to be blessed. If you are free next month, I invite you to attend my social gathering. I would be more than happy to host a grand love ceremony for you."

Prince Weitu also said, smiling.

As Dubai's youngest wealthy individual, Prince Weitu certainly wasn't lacking beautiful women, but that was exactly the problem.

He simply couldn't tell who genuinely liked him for who he was versus his looks or his wealth.

Thus, he envied the sincere relationship between Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue, and even took the initiative to extend an invitation to them.

Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue exchanged a glance.

Going to Dubai for a gathering… That's way too far!

Gu Yu could only tactfully decline, "I'm sorry, Prince, I have a long trip scheduled for next month, and it looks like I won't be able to make it to your event!"

In another month, he and Lin Xinyue were set to depart on the Huaxia International Medical Assistance Ship to attend a surgical conference. This matter was about Huaxia's prestige; how could he possibly skip the conference to attend Prince Weitu's gathering?

"Oh… that's really unfortunate. Although you can't attend my social gathering, I also welcome you to visit Dubai anytime you like. I believe I will definitely show you the best of our hospitality, right? That's what we call it, hospitality?"

Having been turned down by Gu Yu, a look of undisguised disappointment appeared on Prince Weitu's face.

He took out a golden Enamel Card from his pocket, bearing his personal, simplified portrait.

Passing the Enamel Card to Gu Yu, Gu Yu quickly stood up to accept it.

He had already rejected one invitation from Prince Weitu; he couldn't possibly decline the card as well.

Otherwise, that would be really disrespectful.

To put it bluntly, the fact that Prince Weitu deigned to speak to him was already a show of respect.

After all, the two were strangers with no business ties, and if Gu Yu were to put on airs, that would just be ungrateful.

"I'll definitely visit and experience the charm of Dubai when I have the chance!"

Gu Yu carefully pocketed the Enamel Card into his jacket, then fumbled around on himself.

He found that he only had his company's business card…

He didn't have a personal card specifically for his identity.

He was still hesitating about whether or not to give the business card to Prince Weitu when Prince Weitu actually took the initiative to ask for it.

"May I have one of your business cards? The one you have in hand will do."

Seeing Gu Yu's somewhat embarrassed expression, Prince Weitu knew he must not have prepared a personal identity card.

But exchanging business cards is the most basic etiquette, so to spare Gu Yu any embarrassment, he took the initiative to ask for the company card.

The difference wasn't really significant.

"This is a company card... I came in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare a personal identity card. If you don't mind, I'll give you this card instead!"

Gu Yu's face was full of apologies.

Exchanging business cards, something he might not have experienced before but had seen on TV, was a detail in the communication among the upper echelons.

Exchanging business cards meant that the two individuals recognized each other, and the subtext was that if there were any matters in the future, they could contact each other through the card.
