Ouyang Qing, who had dolled herself up ostentatiously and made her way into Nan Chen’s car.
She didn’t get to sit by Nan Chen’s side as she had taken the seat behind, whereas Nan Chen had taken the front passenger seat.
Nonetheless, Ouyang Qing was delighted because everything went according to her plan.
Ouyang Qing didn’t expect her goal to coincide with her father’s. On top of that, her father had been pulling strings, laying the groundwork to achieve this common goal since years ago.
This is simply wonderful! Since I have the entire Ouyang family backing me, I’m sure I’ll achieve my goal and marry Nan Chen soon!
Ouyang Qing was thrilled and it was written all over her face but Nan Chen was the exact opposite, and she couldn’t grasp the reason he had a poker face.
Hasn’t Dad offer to help? Chen should be delighted, but why does he seem so displeased?
“Chen,” Ouyang Qing greeted Nan Chen coquettishly.
“Yes?” Nan Chen replied in a callous tone.
“Why do you seem to be in a foul mood? Is it because of me?”
Nan Chen got increasingly infuriated when he heard Ouyang Qing’s question; it sounded as though she was interrogating him.
Previously, Ouyang Qing would never talk to Nan Chen in such a manner.
She must have gotten full of herself and thought that she should be credited since her father had offered to resolve the issue, and she was part of the Ouyang family.
Although she wasn’t aware she behaved differently, Nan Chen could feel it.
To begin with, Nan Chen wasn’t a petty man. It would take more than the change in Ouyang Qing’s attitude for him to blow his top.
In short, he was irritated after a series of events he had gone through lately.
He was frustrated because he had a hunch those from the Ouyang family had deceived him.
Although the series of incidents he had gone through seemed irrelevant, he knew they were part of a setup.
In fact, Nan Chen was certain Ouyang Duo was the one who had set him up.
Since Nan Chen remained silent even after she directed the question at him, Ouyang Qing was aware he was not happy.
Even though she didn’t know how she had offended him, she was certain she had been careless with her choice of words.
“Chen, I was just trying to pull your leg in order to enlighten your mood. Can you please pay no heed to my words?” Ouyang Qing tried her best to please him.
Nan Chen replied courteously, “It’s fine.”
Thereafter, he remained silent throughout the entire ride.
Similarly, Ouyang Qing dared not interrupt him anymore because she was afraid of irritating Nan Chen.
Thankfully, they were merely heading over to a nearby restaurant. Therefore, the awkward ride was rather short.
Ouyang Duo, who had been anticipating the duo’s arrival, was waiting for them at the restaurant’s entrance.
It seemed to be an act of courtesy, but he had merely shown up to welcome his guests in an attempt to assert dominance as the host of the dinner.
If the dinner were held in Ouyang Duo’s territory, Pearl City, there would be no issue, but the dinner was in Flower City.
The Nan family was the one leading the corporate world in Flower City. They had been contributing to various aspects of the city’s development as well. Therefore, the Nan family should be considered as the host instead.
It was evident Ouyang Duo was aware of the unspoken rule, yet he had crossed the lines.
Perhaps he was merely trying to push his lucks, or he might be trying to assert dominance over the Nan family.
Feel free to challenge my limits because I don’t care a damn.
