To say something bad about her would be unfair, as she did leave a good first impression on me. But then again, how could I forget the way she teased me at the banquet? That memory will stick with me for a lifetime.
Oh? What’s this? You called me your fiancée in front of so many people, and now you want to deny it?
Ouyang Zhirou merely frowned slightly, and from her expression, I couldn't tell if she was truly angry or not.
What does that have to do with me? You were the one who teased me first. Shouldn't I retaliate in kind?
I watched as Ouyang Zhirou stepped forward, closing the distance between us to just a fist's length. This movement drew gasps from the onlookers, especially the girls who were in their teenage years, filled with innocent curiosity about love.
Are you blaming me now? The invitation was delivered to you this morning; it had my father's information and my name on it. If you were going to attend the banquet, you should have checked who the host was instead of turning around to blame me!
Her aggressive attitude left me with no room for resistance. She was right; it seemed that I was indeed at fault first.
Realizing this, I quickly pinched my thigh! How could I let this woman trap me like that?
If we’re going to talk about faults, then yes, I admit I was wrong first. But surely, the esteemed Miss Ouyang wouldn’t lack such a small amount of grace? We do have an engagement, but that doesn’t mean we’ve registered it officially.
After saying this, I took a step back. The moment those words left my mouth, it struck a devastating blow to the boys who had held onto even a glimmer of hope. They all let out cries of despair!
I thought that after I said that, given Ouyang Zhirou's personality, she would at least get angry or throw a fit. But instead, she just laughed lightly.
Oh dear husband, what are you saying? Who doesn’t know that you are our Ouyang family's son-in-law? By saying such heartless words now, what do you expect everyone to think?
She took another step closer, her beautifully captivating eyes fixed intently on me.
In our brief exchange of three or four sentences filled with tension and hostility, neither of us gained the upper hand.
Since you brought up your father, I can bring up mine too. If we’re going to compare family backgrounds, don’t think I’m any worse off than you.
Does Miss Ouyang not fear that these words will reach my father Zhao Changsheng’s ears? If we’re going to play this game of connections, remember that you are also our Zhao family’s daughter-in-law! If Zhao Changsheng hears about this, it could be quite serious!
At this point in our standoff, neither of us had gained any advantage; from right and wrong to engagements and family comparisons, neither side would back down.
Seeing more and more spectators gather around us, I decided it was time to soften my stance. Her indifferent expression suggested she had come prepared for this very moment.
Miss Ouyang, let’s just say I was wrong. Can we find a quiet place to talk this over?
I whispered softly so only she could hear me. I thought if I yielded first, she would go along with my request. But instead,
Ouyang Zhirou choked up as she spoke, putting on a pitiful act that captivated the hearts of the boys around us. Oh dear Zhao Gongzi, how could there be any fault on your part? This is all because of my narrow-mindedness as your fiancée!
They all turned their heads towards me in unison, looking as if they wanted to kill me on the spot!
I was suddenly thrown into a panic!
Damn, this girl is just looking for trouble!
Cough, cough, I mean, how could there be anyone making tea at school? Oh, it turns out no one is making tea, but why does it smell so strongly of tea?
A clear voice rang out from the crowd, and at that moment, it felt like a lifesaver to me!
I saw Lin Mu Xi slowly making her way over, with Hu Yao standing not far behind her.
In an instant, I gave him a thumbs up! What a good brother!!! Truly deserving of that title!
The appearance of Lin Mu Xi pushed the atmosphere among the onlooking students to its peak!
