Chapter 894 - 894 894 Today is My Birthday

Chapter 894: Chapter 894: Today is My Birthday Chapter 894: Chapter 894: Today is My Birthday “Sir Ouyang,” Luo Ziling shifted his gaze away from Ouyang Feifei, feeling rather awkward as he responded, “I really don’t know what to say to you. When I first came to the Capital, I presumptuously came to break off the engagement … After that, I felt this matter was behind me … Now that it’s brought up again, I still don’t know what to say.”

“However, our Ouyang Family did not agree to your breaking off the engagement,” Ouyang Lingyun said earnestly, “An engagement is valid only when both parties agree to it, and its dissolution also requires mutual consent, right? I am not forcing you to honor the marriage agreement, just clarifying the situation.”

As he spoke, he pointed at Ouyang Feifei and said, “Feifei actually does not wish to honor the marriage agreement, even now.”

“Grandfather, I still hold the same view, since Ziling came to break off the engagement, that agreement should be nullified,” Ouyang Feifei finally spoke, saying earnestly to Ouyang Lingyun, “I hope that Grandfather and everyone else will no longer mention the engagement.”

Sighing heavily and shaking his head, Ouyang Lingyun said nothing more.

Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Ziling seriously and added, “If you like me, you can pursue me on your own; if I like you and hope you would be my husband, then I will actively pursue you. Don’t feel any psychological pressure because of Grandfather’s words—I never intended to bind you to me with a mere piece of paper.”

Her words relieved Luo Ziling.

But he was even more unsure of how to respond, so he could only awkwardly stammer, “Letting nature take its course would be best, wouldn’t it?”

That retort earned him a glare from Ouyang Feifei.

This time, Luo Ziling came without any other gifts, instead, he presented Ouyang Lingyun with a health-preserving medical prescription.

Upon receiving Luo Ziling’s prescription, Ouyang Lingyun was immediately overjoyed, his eyes squinting into a smile.

“Don’t you have a gift for me?” As Ouyang Lingyun gleefully carried the prescription into his room to store it carefully, Ouyang Feifei softly complained to Luo Ziling, “Do you think I’m too lowly to deserve a gift from you?”

“Not at all,” Luo Ziling quickly shook his head, “The medicine you’re taking now, I’ve personally prepared it for you. You’re still young, you really don’t need any health-preserving prescriptions—actually, my acupuncture treatments are more effective than most prescriptions.”

“You can’t treat me for a lifetime,” Ouyang Feifei pouted, still somewhat discontent, “Besides, I don’t want my body to be covered in holes from your needles.”

“If others heard you say that, they might misunderstand,” Luo Ziling chuckled.

Ouyang Feifei paused, seemingly grasping what Luo Ziling was hinting at, but she didn’t care.

Since it was already late when they arrived, the dinner was ready.

After chatting for a while, the housekeeper Jin Guoqiang came over to invite Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei to dinner.

Dinner included Yuezhou Old Wine, eight-year-aged Tai Sculpture, and Luo Ziling didn’t hold back as he started drinking with Ouyang Lingyun.

Surprisingly, Ouyang Feifei also expressed her desire to drink and poured herself a glass.

After toasting to Ouyang Lingyun, she clinked glasses with Luo Ziling.

“Regardless, I still want to thank you for treating me,” Ouyang Feifei said gently to Luo Ziling after downing her glass in one gulp, “This winter, I felt more comfortable than any other year. I hope to be free from ailments in the future.”

“You will surely achieve your heart’s desires,” Luo Ziling responded with a smile.

After dinner, Ouyang Lingyun continued talking to Luo Ziling about family matters and asked him to visit often in the future to keep an old man company for tea, meals, and a few drinks, so he wouldn’t be alone and idle. He also wanted Ouyang Feifei to come over more often to accompany him.

Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei both agreed.

“Let’s go,” Ouyang Feifei said to Luo Ziling after speaking with Ouyang Lingyun for a while, signaling that it was time to leave together.

“Aren’t I supposed to help you with your treatment?” Luo Ziling found it strange.

He had promised Ouyang Feifei that after dinner, he would give her another treatment, and he had brought the necessary tools for it.

“Let’s go to my place so we don’t disturb Grandpa’s rest,” Ouyang Feifei briefly explained, and without waiting for Luo Ziling to answer, she prepared to leave.

Luo Ziling had to follow her out.

Wang Qing and Yang Xiaodong were waiting outside, and when they saw Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei coming out together, they quickly came over to greet them.

During the meal, they hadn’t sat at the main table, instead the two of them sat elsewhere to eat.

This was arranged by Ouyang Feifei.

“You take my car,” Ouyang Feifei instructed Luo Ziling, then turned to Wang Qing, “You ride with Yang Xiaodong.”

Wang Qing was stunned by Ouyang Feifei’s arrangement, left standing there.

Yang Xiaodong also hadn’t expected Ouyang Feifei to say that and was immediately overjoyed.

Eventually, a somewhat disgruntled Wang Qing obediently got into Yang Xiaodong’s SUV.

“Are you also trying to help them get together?” Luo Ziling asked with a smile after getting into Ouyang Feifei’s Rolls-Royce, “Do you hope they end up together?”

“That’s their business, I hadn’t thought about it,” Ouyang Feifei said, then turned her face away.

Luo Ziling didn’t mind.

The convoy soon arrived at the villa, Yang Xiaodong, and Wang Qing went their own way, not following inside.

Ouyang Feifei didn’t go to take a shower as usual, but instead went to the bathroom, took off her clothes, then came out wearing only her undergarments underneath. Luo Ziling found it strange, but didn’t ask, gesturing for Ouyang Feifei to lie down.

When Ouyang Feifei lay down, Luo Ziling noticed that her most intimate small item was gone, only a set of long-sleeved underwear remained.

“I’ll take a bath after the treatment,” Ouyang Feifei casually explained, then lay face down.

Luo Ziling didn’t ask further, lifted her shirt and began to knead her.

His hands touched Ouyang Feifei’s smooth skin, Luo Ziling felt a bit distracted, but soon composed himself and kneaded seriously. After finishing the kneading, he also conducted acupuncture on Ouyang Feifei.

The acupuncture points now were different from the beginning, now focusing mainly on regulating body functions. In other words, the main stage of the treatment had ended, and the focus now was on consolidating the effects.

The treatment ended after half an hour, and although Luo Ziling hadn’t exerted his full effort, he still sweated.

As he stood up to wipe off sweat and prepared to organize the treatment tools, Ouyang Feifei didn’t lie down to rest as before but sat up. “Today is my birthday, don’t you have a gift for me?”

When Ouyang Feifei had come out of the bathroom earlier, she was holding her clothes in front of her chest with her hands, but now that she sat up, she hadn’t covered up.

Ouyang Feifei hadn’t noticed the indecency of her condition, but stared fixedly at Luo Ziling. When she noticed that Luo Ziling’s gaze was a bit strange and he hurriedly looked away, she realized her indecency and hurriedly used a cushion to cover her body.

But she didn’t leave in embarrassment, instead, she asked again, “Don’t you want to give me a gift?”

Luo Ziling finally came to his senses and said embarrassedly, “I didn’t know it’s your birthday, so I didn’t prepare a gift. How about I make it up in a few days?”

Ouyang Feifei shook her head, “Then no need for a gift, just agree to a request of mine!”

“What request?”
