The words came out of his mouth without thinking. As soon as he said that, Luo ZIling felt as if he was being a little too blunt.
However, when he saw that Ouyang Feifei's expression changed to one of shock, he felt that it was the right thing to say. It seemed that these words had managed to break through her defenses and made her lose her composure.
He was very much looking forward to Ouyang Feifei's answer.
However, Ouyang Feifei's expression quickly returned to normal, and she still said in the same tone as before, "There's no problem as long as you can make me fall in love with you. This is the natural outcome of a romantic relationship, so I won't refuse."
Luo Ziling felt that he had been defeated by her in an instant. What kind of answer was this?!
"I don't have the confidence to do that!" he said dejectedly. Moreover, he really didn't want her to fall in love with him.
He didn't dare imagine what it would be like to live with Ouyang Feifei.
It would be very scary, right?
"You're not someone who doesn't have confidence. Why don't you give it a try?" Ouyang Feifei's eyes became clear, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. "I know you're very arrogant. After seeing my appearance and knowing my situation, you still decided to break off the engagement."
"That had nothing to do with arrogance." Luo Ziling shook his head, deciding not to say that it was because he did not want to live with Ouyang Feifei. He could not stand her arrogant words, so instead, he asked, "Why do you want me to be your fiancé? To help you fend off those suitors?"
"That's right." Ouyang Feifei nodded. "They're very annoying, so I hoped you can help me!"
"Who are your suitors?" Luo Ziling asked curiously. He really wanted to know who was trying to pursue her.
After all, he was once engaged to her, so he always thought of her as someone who was very special.
"One of my suitors is Li Dongjun, who came into conflict with you in the past."
"What?! I thought he wanted to pursue your sister!" This made Luo ziling a little surprised. That day, Li Dongjun had seen him fighting with Ouyang Huihui, so he rushed over to help. Luo Ziling had thought that that guy was Ouyang Huihui's suitor, but he didn't expect that he was actually going after Ouyang Feifei.
Ouyang Feifei, for her part, didn't answer Luo Ziling, but only gave him a strange look.
He felt a little uncomfortable at her gaze, so he asked, "Who else?"
Ouyang Feifei did not say anything for a little while, then she opened her mouth and said, "Chen Jiahai of the Chen family, Fang Dongxun of the Fang family."
She looked at Luo Ziling's confused face, then explained, "Most of my suitors are heirs of wealthy families in Yenching. I believe you can imagine who they are."
After hearing these words, Luo ziling suddenly jumped up from his seat and pointed at Ouyang Feifei angrily. "Do you think I'm stupid? The people who are pursuing you are all young masters with great backgrounds. Any one of them could kill me with a snap of their fingers! If I were to snatch a woman from them, I might be silenced by them at some point and die without knowing who did it! No, there is absolutely no room for negotiation. Go find someone else!"
Even after seeing that Luo Ziling was so agitated, Ouyang Feifei still did not have any special reaction. She looked at him calmly. "I have said my conditions. You can also state your conditions."
"I know that you are very rich, but I'm not short of money, either. I can live on my own ability and don't your charity. There's no way we can come to an agreement!" Luo Ziling ground out, still very agitated. "You're trying to drag me to the edge of a volcano! I know that I broke off the engagement and damaged your reputation, so that's why you're trying to get revenge, isn't it? You're trying to make me your fiancé because you want those privileged people who are above the law to teach me a lesson. That way, you can avoid harassment and also take revenge on me at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone. I can't believe you came up with such a plan."
After ranting, Luo Ziling became even angrier when he further confirmed the validity of his speculations.
This woman was too scheming. She actually thought of such a powerful move to take revenge on him!
Fortunately, he was not tempted by her beauty and the conditions she'd thrown out. Otherwise, he would have been dragged down by her revenge scheme.
"You're thinking too much." Luo Ziling's intense reaction was unexpected to Ouyang Feifei, but she only said indifferently, "I already said that you can list any condition you want. This can be considered to be a mutually beneficial relationship. We can both get what we want."
"I'm not interested," Luo Ziling immediately refused. "I won't pretend to be your fiancé. After I talked to Grandpa Ouyang about breaking off the engagement that day, our engagement no longer exists. If you've had it with those suitors, you can find someone else to be your fiancé. After all, there are plenty of men who are willing to help you. I have to go to school, and I also have to help people with treatment. I'm very busy, so I don't have the time to play these games with you."
His refusal was so thorough that it surprised Ouyang Feifei. She was stunned for a moment, and after staring at him for a while, a disdainful smile crossed her face. "It seems that your Luo family is even more overbearing than the other families. You think that you can immediately cancel the engagement just because you want to. Was coming up to our doorstep and telling us of your decision respectful to us? Have you ever thought about my grandfather's feelings or mine? The reputation of the Ouyang family?"
Ouyang Feifei was a little angry when she said all this. "The engagement agreement is a matter between both parties. Don't tell me that canceling it is only a matter of coming to our doorstep and saying so. Don't we need to discuss it first?"
These words stunned Luo Ziling, and he was momentarily unable to think of an answer.
After thinking over it, he felt that what she said made sense; He'd went to their house, saying that he wanted to cancel their engagement. Indeed, it was a little disrespectful to Ouyang Feifei and did not give face to her family at all.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Don't tell me you want to fulfill the engagement and make me marry you?"
This time, it was Ouyang Feifei's turn to be stunned. Anger appeared on her face, but she didn't say anything.
The appearance of her anger was scary enough that one would shudder at the sight of her. Luo Ziling couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
He thought over his words and found that he had said the wrong thing again. He'd made it sound as if Ouyang Feifei shamelessly wanted to marry him. He quickly explained, "I didn't mean that. I didn't say that you had to marry me and that you wouldn't allow us to unilaterally ruin the marriage..."
However, he stopped halfway through his words.
The more he said, the he was putting his foot in his mouth. He felt like slapping himself.
Seeing that Luo Ziling had stopped speaking with an embarrassed look on his face, Ouyang Feifei, who had regained her calm expression, stood up. She did not look at him and said softly, "Then let's go!"
"O-Okay!" Luo Ziling could only stand up and mechanically agree.
"Don't forget what you promised me just now!" She said softly as she walked out, but did not answer.
"Did I promise anything? What did I promise her?" Luo Ziling was confused.
But after thinking hard, he also remembered what he'd promised her: to give her a checkup and cure her illness!
