CHAPTER 872: CHAPTER 872: RETURNING EVERYTHING WITH INTEREST (PART 3)

Ou Chunhua, I remember when we were on the plane last time, you were quite talkative. But somehow, at tonight’s dinner, you’ve become silent.

There seems to be some mystery here.

"Are you and my aunt familiar with each other?" Zhao Mengjin asked.

Ou Yanan was holding the steering wheel, looking straight ahead, her expression seemed a bit too serious, and said, "Are the people following us yours?"

Zhao Mengjin, prompted by his words, finally noticed a car that seemed to have been following them for a while.

It’s possible that Zhan Dapeng, worried about her safety, instructed someone to follow the two of them by car.

"Maybe so," Zhao Mengjin said, "A friend of my uncle, worried about my safety, that’s all."

Ou Yanan glanced at her face; it was clear she wasn’t worried at all.

"This is our first time meeting, right?"

"Yes," Zhao Mengjin replied, "But I’ve heard about you from others. They say you excel in medicine, you’re diligent and studious, and you don’t have any of the bad habits of a rich second generation."

It sounded like every word was praise for him.

Ou Yanan said, "To be honest, there were some things I couldn’t say directly during dinner, but—"

"I understand. I also don’t have any intention to date right now. Dr. Ou, you must know about my mom’s accident. With my mom’s situation, how can I focus on romance? It doesn’t matter what others think, I would only feel unfilial."

Ou Yanan wasn’t too surprised by her words. After all, her behavior at the dinner table might not have been noticed by Ou Shihua, but he noticed it.

The BMW stopped at a parking lot by the riverside. After stopping, neither of them got out of the car; they just looked at the river through the front window.

The night was pitch black, and there wasn’t much to see. Besides, the river was polluted by the city, certainly not as beautiful as the clear streams on the mountains.

The two of them were just dazing off. Zhao Mengjin couldn’t help but think so.

Indeed, apart from daydreaming, what else could they do to give Ou Shihua the false impression that they were dating?

"How long do you think we need to keep up this act?" Zhao Mengjin muttered to herself.

Ou Yanan glanced at her, then lowered his head, reached into the storage box in the car, and took out a tin box which contained Swiss candies.

After opening it, Zhao Mengjin picked out a candy, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth. It was like having something to do.

Ou Yanan said, "I originally thought you had your own plans."

To his words, Zhao Mengjin didn’t retort, she said, "I do have plans, but I didn’t expect you to cooperate so well, making me feel like I don’t need to do anything."

Initially, she had thought of many ways to deal with him tonight.

Ou Yanan couldn’t help but chuckle at her words.

"Is it funny?" Zhao Mengjin turned to look at him.

Ou Yanan looked directly at her face, he had already noticed in the restaurant that she was indeed as the rumors said, both in appearance and temperament, a truly beautiful noblewoman.

Like Qiu Jiali, Kang Yueting, they couldn’t compare at all, not even a strand of hair could compete. Using one word to describe this difference would be ’worlds apart’.

For any man, it’s hard not to be captivated by such a woman.

However, he knew very well in his heart that she was destined not to be his; she was the fiancée of that fellow if the Ou Family and Zhao Family’s alliance succeeded.

Zhao Mengjin slowly noticed his gaze. In his eyes, there flashed a profound and intense meaning, like a whirlpool, burying himself at the bottom.
