Chapter 492: Scheming Again (Part 4)
This is one of the reasons she doesn’t like Ouyang Yi, his temper is too good, so good that she’s become immune to it. If he could get angry or lose his temper with her, she might even see him in a better light.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Yi cares too much about her, cares to the point that he has lost his own principles and integrity.
What’s the use of being good, you still don’t like me, right?
Ouyang Yi silently added in his heart, slightly lowering his eyes. He really doesn’t know what to do with Lu Ling. Now, he’s really doubting if Lu Ling was just coaxing him when she talked about marriage before, otherwise, why does her attitude towards him remain the same as before?
Ouyang Yi fell silent again, and Lu Ling couldn’t help but become annoyed. Wasn’t Ouyang Yi quite talkative before? Why has he turned mute tonight? She was still thinking of having him find a way to bring Jiang Xue to the Ou Group’s spring banquet.
Now, with Ouyang Yi not speaking up, how is she supposed to bring it up?
The more Lu Ling thought about it, the more irritable she became, once again growing displeased with Ouyang Yi. He doesn’t speak when he should, and he speaks when he shouldn’t; no wonder she doesn’t like him.
If at this moment Ouyang Yi knew what Lu Ling was thinking, he would surely feel wronged. After all, he’s not a mind reader, how would he know when she wants him to speak and when to keep quiet?
Lu Ling waited a little longer, but still Ouyang Yi didn’t speak up, so she had to open her mouth again, saying, "Ah Yi, isn’t your company about to hold the spring banquet soon?"
"Yes, the date has been set, it’s the day after tomorrow." Ouyang Yi replied flatly, not quite understanding why Lu Ling suddenly brought up this topic.
Every year when the company held its spring banquet, he would specially invite Lu Ling, but she had never attended. Today, she suddenly brought it up, could it be that she’s planning to attend?
With this thought in his mind, Ouyang Yi didn’t ask her directly, waiting quietly for what Lu Ling would say next.
"The day after tomorrow, so soon?"
"Yes!" Ouyang Yi nodded, still unable to resist asking, "Lingling, are you free the day after tomorrow, can you attend my company’s banquet?"
Lu Ling was about to say she wasn’t free, but suddenly remembered her request to Ouyang Yi, so she said, "Ah Yi, I’m free that day, just think I’d like to see what your company’s spring banquet is like."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yi was overjoyed, his face instantly filled with smiles. But just then, he heard Lu Ling say, "However, I have one condition."
"Just say it, not to mention one condition, I’d agree even if there were ten." Ouyang Yi replied happily, at that moment completely thrilled by Lu Ling’s words.
She’s going to attend the company’s spring banquet, does this mean she’s agreeing to make their relationship public?
"Here’s the thing, I’d like you to also invite Jiang Xue to join."
"No problem!" Ouyang Yi promptly agreed, as long as Lu Ling was willing to go, inviting one more Jiang Xue, or even ten more, would be fine.
"It’s settled then. You must personally invite Jiang Xue and bring her to the banquet." Lu Ling reiterated.
"Lingling, don’t worry, I’ll handle this perfectly, you’ll definitely see Jiang Xue at the banquet."
"I trust your handling of things." Lu Ling laughed, feeling relieved in her heart.
Just then, they arrived at the military compound, the car came to a stop. Lu Ling got out of the car and went back into the compound, while Ouyang Yi watched her figure fade into the darkness before turning the car around.
