Chapter 1384: Chapter 1384: Why Is It So

Luo Ziling immediately called Ouyang Huihui, but the phone was not answered and all he heard was a mechanical message: The number you have dialed is switched off.

He then called Ouyang Feifei, but again no one answered the phone.

Luo Ziling received Ouyang Huihui’s message at around three o’clock in the afternoon.

It was two hours later that he received a call back from Ouyang Feifei.

“Huihui has gone to Europe to study, the transfer procedures have been taken care of for her,” Ouyang Feifei said, bringing this up herself before Luo Ziling could ask about it, “It was Grandpa’s idea, and she was willing to go.”

“Where are you?” Luo Ziling ignored Ouyang Feifei’s explanation.

“I’m about to go home.”

“I’m coming to see you, I have questions for you!”

“Okay,” Ouyang Feifei hesitated a moment but didn’t refuse Luo Ziling’s request, “Just come directly to my place, I’ll be there in half an hour.”

Luo Ziling agreed.

Ling Ruonan had some business to take care of today, she called Luo Ziling in the evening, telling him that she had an engagement that night and asked Luo Ziling to fend for himself for dinner. Thus, around dinner time, Luo Ziling went to Ouyang Feifei’s place, thinking that Ouyang Feifei would probably provide dinner today.

Luo Ziling did not take public transport, nor did he ask Yang Xiaodong to drive him; instead, he chose to walk.

When he arrived at the residential complex where Ouyang Feifei lived, Ouyang Feifei’s motorcade had just arrived as well.

But Luo Ziling didn’t get into the car, instead, he waved to Ouyang Feifei who poked her head out of the lowered car window, signaling her to go ahead on her own.

“Brew some good tea and wait for me in the house,” Luo Ziling commanded assertively.

Ouyang Feifei didn’t say much, she raised the car window and went on ahead.

When Luo Ziling got to the villa’s entrance, she had already entered the house, with Wang Qing waiting for him at the door.

Wang Qing’s expression was as cold as ever, appearing as if someone owed her eight million that wasn’t repaid.

Considering that Wang Qing treated Yang Xiaodong rather well, Luo Ziling did not take issue with Wang Qing’s coldness towards him, and even complimented her on how beautiful she looked today.

Wang Qing did not follow him inside; she just stood at the door, watching Luo Ziling walk into the house.

Upon leaving, she sighed heavily, feeling that her young mistress was not being valued as she deserved.

After entering the house, Luo Ziling saw Ouyang Feifei boiling water, preparing the tea leaves.

“Why were you in such a hurry to send your sister to Europe for studies?” Luo Ziling bluntly asked while Ouyang Feifei was still preparing the tea, “The New Year isn’t even over yet, was it necessary to send her to Europe so abruptly?”

“It was her own request,” Ouyang Feifei responded calmly, without getting upset by Luo Ziling’s tone, “We had discussed this before the New Year. After the holidays, she was to go study in Europe.”

“You’re lying,” Luo Ziling bluntly exposed Ouyang Feifei’s lie, “If everything was settled as you said, you wouldn’t have originally told me that it was only a possibility Ouyang Huihui would study abroad.”

“Do you care so much whether she’s in the country or not?” Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Ziling with a hint of resentment, “Don’t you really dislike her?”

“That’s a separate issue,” Luo Ziling said, standing up and walking closer to Ouyang Feifei, looking down into her eyes, “but I don’t want everything to be muddled. Tell me, what exactly happened that led you to decide in such haste to send your sister abroad to study.”

“I’ve already told you the reason, and you also know, if she stays in the country, studying by your side, things will definitely get more troublesome. Not just for you, but for me as well, for all of us, it will be very awkward.” Ouyang Feifei defiantly faced Luo Ziling at close range, “I don’t want my sister to be scarred by life. She shouldn’t be ruined by you, by me, by everyone involved.”

“Why do you say that?”

“Then tell me, will you marry her or not?”

Ouyang Feifei’s direct questioning stunned Luo Ziling; he didn’t know how to respond.

Subconsciously, he definitely wouldn’t marry Ouyang Huihui; it could be said he had never entertained such a plan.

He simply couldn’t understand why Ouyang Huihui would suddenly leave the country to study in Europe, especially before the year was even over.

If Ouyang Huihui was forced to leave the country, that would be very unfair to her.

His feelings were merely ones of sympathy for the underdog, feeling that Ouyang Feifei was bullying Ouyang Huihui.

“I know you won’t, so, letting her stay away from you is beneficial for everyone,” Ouyang Feifei still maintained a calm demeanor as she looked at Luo Ziling, “You should know, if Huihui doesn’t want to, no one can force her.”

“Then tell me, what exactly happened after I got drunk that time in Yuezhou?”

“Everyone drank too much, and we all went back to our rooms to sleep,” Ouyang Feifei lowered her eyes, “I also went back to my room. Your grandfather was worried you had drunk too much and it might harm your health, so he gave you some medicine. It had a calming effect, so you slept a long time before waking up.”

“You know that’s not what I’m asking.”

“Then what do you want to ask?” Despite Luo Ziling’s irritation, Ouyang Feifei showed no panic and maintained her composure, “Do you want me to tell you that you got drunk and forced yourself on some woman?”

“Alright, think what you will,” seeing Ouyang Feifei’s unruffled expression, Luo Ziling lost all interest instantly and no longer wished to inquire about the matter.

After speaking, he took a teacup, grabbed some tea leaves, and brewed a cup of tea with freshly boiled water.

Seeing Ouyang Feifei stunned there, he handed her the brewed tea and then went to make another cup for himself.

Ouyang Feifei didn’t say anything more, she took the cup of hot tea, sat down, blew on it gently, and began to drink slowly.

Luo Ziling also drank tea, not initiating any conversation.

Thus, in silence, the two of them finished their cups of tea.

After finishing the tea, Luo Ziling stood up and bid farewell to Ouyang Feifei: “I’m leaving!”

Originally, he had planned to have a meal with Ouyang Feifei upon arrival, but his mood shifted dramatically, and now he had no such desire. After finishing his tea, he felt it was time to take his leave.

“I’m leaving,” Luo Ziling said his goodbyes and then prepared to depart.

Ouyang Feifei was visibly surprised, but she didn’t make a sound and instead put down her teacup and stood up.

Luo Ziling looked back at Ouyang Feifei, didn’t linger, opened the door, and walked out.

As he left, a gust of cold wind hit him head-on, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

But his steps didn’t falter; he continued to stride away.

Watching Luo Ziling’s retreating figure, Ouyang Feifei’s heart slowly sank.

She knew that the feelings which had gradually developed through their contact were fading away with Luo Ziling’s departure.

Suddenly, she felt a pang in her heart…
