Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Going to Book a Room Again Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Going to Book a Room Again After entering the restaurant, Luo Ziling opted for a private room, which suited Ouyang Huihui just fine.
Even if it had not been to her liking, she would not have expressed any objections.
In the past, when she was in Luo Zilingâs company, she had been aggressive, often getting into loud arguments with him.
But after the last incident, she had completely changed her nature.
It was not so much that she had changed her nature; she had simply transformed herself in front of Luo Ziling.
In front of others, she was still her usual self, but in front of Luo Ziling, she became an obedient little girl.
She knew that Luo Ziling did not like fiery tomboys, but preferred gentle and charming pretty girls.
It was classic, dignified girls that Luo Ziling liked, hence she strived to change herself.
It goes without saying, the thing that can change a person the most is to fall in love.
Whether man or woman, both can change because of love.
If love is filled with many ups and downs, it can change a person even more, sometimes overnight.
Ouyang Huihui was such a person; her relationship with Luo Ziling had not been long, but it was the first time she had experienced emotional turmoil. Her feelings towards Luo Ziling went from extreme dislike at the beginning, to curiosity, to fondness, and then unwittingly falling in love.
Although she had always been proud and had never thought about easily accepting a manâs pursuit, there were too many women revolving around Luo Ziling, most of whom were talented and good-looking, not inferior to her in any way. She felt a strong sense of crisis and, after suffering a severe setback last time, immediately began to reflect and change herself. It could be said that it was Luo Zilingâs appearance that made her suddenly mature.
The young mistressâs temper was greatly reduced, and she became more rational, at least in front of Luo Ziling.
She finally understood that many things were not hers for the taking just because she wanted them, there were many who outshone her, and men who looked down on her too.
Of course, for her, after such a long time of trials and tribulations, coupled with the fact that there were still many beautiful women eyeing Luo Ziling, she wanted even more to claim him as her own.
Men have the desire to conquer, and women likewise have the desire to possess; encountering an outstanding man makes one want to make him her own.
If she managed to snatch Luo Ziling from the hands of other women, Ouyang Huihui would feel very proud and a great sense of achievement.
Whether it was true feelings or vanity, she was unwilling to give Luo Ziling up.
If, after so much had happened with Luo Ziling, she ended up being disdained by him and he became another womanâs boyfriend, it would be a huge blow to Ouyang Huihui. Even if just for the sake of pride, she would persist to the end and expend all her ingenuity to conquer Luo Ziling.
âWhat do you like to eat?â When it was time to order, Ouyang Huihui smiled, tilting her head to look at Luo Ziling, âIâll treat you today, Iâve owed you for several occasions, no time like the present, donât fight me over it.â
She knew, with her head cocked to one side and a smile on her face, she looked very attractive.
Sometimes, when she inadvertently revealed such an expression, the man beside her was mesmerized.
Moreover, when she spoke, her voice was soft and gentle. Ouyang Huihui believed that Luo Ziling would definitely not refuse her, and might even give her a few extra glances.
As expected, when she talked to Luo Ziling with a coy smile, he indeed lost his focus for a moment and didnât argue with her, agreeing to let her treat him that day.
Seeing a slight change in Luo Zilingâs attitude, Ouyang Huihui immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood brightened up again.
Having dined with Luo Ziling several times before, she remembered a few dishes he liked, so today she took the initiative to order these dishes, repeatedly asking Luo Ziling what he wanted to eat. Luo Ziling was slightly embarrassed by her enthusiasm. As the saying goes, you canât slap a smiling face. With Ouyang Huihui treating him so gently, he would feel ashamed to keep a stern face.
After ordering the dishes, Ouyang Huihui looked at Luo Ziling with a tender expression and asked softly, âWhere did you go after you left Yangcheng last time?â
Her voice was delicate when she asked, but the mere thought of Yangcheng made her feel a bit annoyed.
Luo Ziling left without her knowledge. This jerk, not even telling her when he left, clearly didnât regard her as a friend.
âI went to Qiong Island to see an old friend and treat his illness,â Luo Ziling didnât want to dwell on the matter of Qiong Island and quickly changed the subject, âWhere were you planning to go just now?â
âThe New Year is coming, and I wanted to buy some new clothes for myself. I was going to ask my sister to go shopping with me, but she wasnât interested,â Ouyang Huihui said, pouting slightly in a way that showed she felt a bit wronged, âHer clothes are all custom-made, but I like to wear sporty clothes, more casual. Going shopping by myself and enjoying the pleasure of it was the plan. She didnât want to go, and I didnât want to drag anyone else along, so I was going to go alone.â
At this point, her eyes lit up, and she asked Luo Ziling quietly, âHow about you accompany me later? Be my bodyguard, and also give me some advice? What do you say?â
Fearing Luo Ziling would refuse, she quickly added, âIâm worried about being harassed, so I wore a hat and glasses. My sister just forbade me from going out, worried Iâd get into trouble. Would it be alright if you accompany me? Iâll treat you to supper. If my sister knows youâre with me, she definitely wonât worry.â
âNot interested,â Luo Ziling shook his head, but seeing Ouyang Huihuiâs face change instantaneously, he quickly said, âIâm not interested in shopping.â
âThen Iâll buy you an article of clothing as a reward, how about that?â Seeing that Luo Zilingâs refusal wasnât very firm, Ouyang Huihuiâs spirits lifted again, and she quickly added another thought, âYou havenât finished treating me as you promised. The weather has turned cold, and I keep feeling uncomfortable without being able to pinpoint why. After the last time you treated me, I felt much better for the next few days. After coming back, I started to feel itchy all over again. How about you treat me again later?â
Luo Ziling didnât respond immediately; instead, he reached out, took Ouyang Huihuiâs hand, took her pulse, and then examined her face and throat.
Luo Ziling didnât refuse to treat Ouyang Huihui and nodded in agreement, âAlright, Iâll treat you later. But I donât want to go shopping, so why not wait until after you finish shopping, and then Iâll treat you?â
âThen where would you treat me?â Ouyang Huihui didnât insist any further but asked this very practical question.
âWherever you think is convenient, weâll go there.â
âHow about we just get a room? Itâs a bit more straightforward that way,â Ouyang Huihui said with a touch of embarrassment, fearing Luo Ziling would reject the idea, she quickly explained, âI think that would be convenient, otherwise, itâs really hard to find a suitable place.â
After thinking about it, Luo Ziling eventually agreed, âAlright then!â
To her surprise, Luo Ziling actually agreed, and Ouyang Huihui was overjoyed.
A long-buried ideation within her stirred once more, emerging again.
