CHAPTER 864: CHAPTER 864: A MOTHER’S FAULT FOR NOT DISCIPLINING HER CHILD (4)

Gu Nuan was thinking, Tang Sili told her she needed to supplement various nutrients and that she should eat at least a little fruit, so she reached out.

At that moment, a hand suddenly extended from across the diagonal, holding her outstretched hand.

All the people around the dining table were a bit taken aback by this sudden scene. Especially Ou Chunhua, whose eyes darkened beneath her lowered eyelids.

Gu Nuan was also slightly surprised, blinked, and asked, "Dr. Ou?"

"You’ve already eaten plenty of vegetables tonight. Also, your body is relatively weak, so it’s not suitable to eat raw and cold things. Triggering too much gastrointestinal activity will also deplete nutrients, which is not conducive to absorption," Ou Yanan said.

His tone and attitude were as rigorous as a doctor’s professionalism.

This made others unable to find fault even if they wanted to.

Gu Nuan felt a bit strange, but his expression was so serious. So she had to accept his good intentions and withdrew her hand.

Ou Shihua and Ou Chunhua were certainly not happy about it.

Especially since Ou Shihua had heard gossip that his son seemed to have taken a liking to a married woman.

"Since everyone has finished eating." Ou Shihua narrowed his eyes at Gu Nuan, "Miss Gu, since you’re Miss Zhao’s elder, if you agree, how about letting these two young people go for a walk after dinner?"

"Of course," Gu Nuan replied without hesitation.

It seems this woman has some self-awareness. Ou Shihua thought to himself, urging his son to let go of this idea and return to the right track as soon as possible.

Turning back, he instructed his son, "Drive my car, take Miss Zhao for a drive along the river, and don’t be back too late, before eleven, make sure to send Miss Zhao back to her place."

He thought that such a domineering decision would provoke a small rebellion from his son. After all, in recent days, his son’s attitude seemed to enjoy contradicting him. Unexpectedly, Ou Yanan immediately agreed: "Understood, Father."

After agreeing, Ou Yanan unexpectedly stood up first and said to Zhao Mengjin across from him, "Miss Zhao, would you accept my invitation?"

Zhao Mengjin smiled slightly, "I would be very honored."

The two young people stood up first, bid farewell to their elders, and left the dining room.

Ou Shihua watched his son finally get back on track and leave with the Zhao family’s Miss, a hint of surprise, more than joy, flashed in his eyes, and he said to his wife Ou Chunhua, "Yanan really seems to like this young lady."

Ou Chunhua’s eyes discreetly swept over Gu Nuan’s face on the opposite side and, seeing that Gu Nuan did not look at Ou Yanan, replied to her husband, "After all, it’s Yanan’s own proposal. How could he not like her?"

"Right, since it’s his own liking, this matter will be much easier to resolve." Ou Shihua finally let out a satisfied sigh, raising the half-full glass of red wine.

Ou Chunhua’s eyes discreetly glanced over his face, and upon clearly seeing the expression hidden beneath her husband’s exterior, she felt an immense sense of relief.

Originally, Ou Shihua suddenly returning to China, not during a major holiday for a family reunion, was something he usually wouldn’t do, making her suspect if he had found out something.

It seemed like this time, he came back simply because he had set his sights on the Xiao Family’s property.

As long as he’s not focusing on anything else, that’s fine. Ou Chunhua thought, there are other matters she needs to resolve quickly.
