Lin Yuan took a few steps forward and grabbed Lady Liu’s hand, her voice somewhat choked as she coquettishly called out "Mother".

Lady Liu was both crying and laughing, her face wet with tears she had no time to dry, she glanced at her with a loving smile and tenderly smoothed her hair: "Silly child, you should be happy for winning the competition, why are you crying? Don’t be afraid of others laughing at you."

With those words, Lin Yuan also broke into a smile through her tears, still clinging closely in front of Lady Liu, she playfully rubbed her own little head against her, causing many people to chuckle and curl their lips into smiles.

Women are such a bother, crying even when they win a competition!

Su Tianrui pursed his lips, and as he turned his head, he saw He Lienuo, who seemed lost in thought. His eyes rolled, and he sneaked over, amiably hooking his arm around He Lienuo’s neck.

"Hey, Crown Prince Helian, do you fancy Princess Pingxi or what? Don’t glare at me like that, I just know it, you definitely like this girl. Otherwise, why would you change your mind to vote for Dong Tian in the end?"

Hearing Su Tianrui’s words, He Lienuo’s eyes widened both in disdain and shock, he pushed Su Tianrui’s arm off him and even took two steps back while keeping his distance, and spoke with a serious tone.

"Fancy that odious girl? Like her? Dream on! Even if this Crown Prince remains unmarried for life, I wouldn’t set my eyes on her! Hmph, a woman who can be with Xia Zheng is either heartless or sinister; I wouldn’t dare keep such a woman close to me!"

Tsk tsk.

Su Tianrui clucked his tongue, suddenly chuckled with a sneaky smirk, and teasingly raised his eyebrows: "Never mind what else, but you’ve got a sharp eye!

That Lin Yuan is both heartless and sinister.

Not only that but she’s also overbearing and aggressive.

They say that back when she was in her village, it was a common affair for her to slash people with a knife!

Ay ya ya, what’s so good about such a woman that Xia Zheng treasures her like a precious gem! "

Shaking his head repeatedly, Su Tianrui mimicked the hurt feelings of a lamenting brother.

However, He Lienuo seemed to become even more interested, a woman who slashes people with a knife? It’s actually quite amusing!

After playing coy in front of Lady Liu for a bit, Lin Yuan returned to the competition stage and nodded with a smile to the crowd congratulating her: "Thank you all for your support of Dong Tian.

Though we won the competition today, competing on the same stage with Master Niu from Drunken Immortal Tower is a tremendous honor for Lin Yuan. "

Being mentioned by Lin Yuan, Master Niu felt somewhat ashamed; at his age, having dealt with the culinary arts for half a lifetime, to be defeated today by a teenage girl.

It was as though he could lose all his dignity!

Master Niu glanced covertly at his master and younger apprentice brother sitting opposite him, his face turning as red as a big apple.

Lin Yuan chuckled and shook her head; Master Niu was quite adorable when he wasn’t underestimating others.

Looking towards Yan Xiangkai, who didn’t seem to have a good expression standing in front of the stage, Lin Yuan invited him onto the stage and sincerely said: "Old Master Yan, when you brought people to Dong Tian to deliver the Challenge Letter, to be honest, I did harbor some hostility towards Drunken Immortal Tower. However, after today’s competition, I hope Dong Tian and Drunken Immortal Tower can coexist amicably in the future, earning money together and welcoming guests together! "

Losing the competition, Master Niu had an unhappy face, and Yan Xiangkai’s heart wasn’t at ease either.

However, thinking back, he indeed was hostile towards Dong Tian initially, even suspecting that Dong Tian used harmful substances like Five Stones Powder in their food to attract customers.

But after today’s competition, he had clearly seen the strength of Dong Tian and Lin Yuan.

Even if there was the last-minute betrayal by Crown Prince Helian, at this moment, he also had a change of heart. Crown Prince Helian is the heir to a kingdom; if the food was truly unbearable, would he spontaneously change his decision?

Turns out, it was their Drunken Immortal Tower’s dishes that lacked something.

"Princess Pingxi, let’s not mention the past, from now on, Drunken Immortal Tower and Dong Tian are friends!"

Lin Yuan’s lips curved into a smile, and she nodded: "Right, we are friends."

If Zhao Hongsheng saw the attitude of the two at this moment, he would certainly be fuming with anger. His unexpected decision to watch the competition today was to foster worsening relations between Dong Tian and Drunken Immortal Tower.

The worse the relationship between the two restaurants got, hopefully leading to fiercer competition, he could then take advantage of the situation, ideally taking full control of Drunken Immortal Tower.

That way, in the future, Drunken Immortal Tower would be his, and naturally, the silver of Drunken Immortal Tower would be his as well!
