Chapter 1554: Chapter 1554: I Am Willing to Cancel the Engagement

Seeing Luo Ziling’s face change, Ouyang Feifei snorted and stopped paying attention to him, taking two big steps forward into the living room.

Luo Ziling eventually followed him inside.

When he entered, Ouyang Lingyun and Luo Liansheng were already seated, and Ouyang Feifei walked over to sit next to Ling Ruonan.

Luo Ziling felt a bit awkward, but still walked over to sit on the other side of Ling Ruonan.

On the other side, Ouyang Lingyun and Luo Liansheng had already started chatting enthusiastically.

If you had to say who Luo Liansheng’s closest friend was, it was certainly Ouyang Lingyun.

Ouyang Lingyun regarded Luo Liansheng as his lifesaver, and during Luo Liansheng’s hard times, especially after the troubles caused by the incident involving Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan, Ouyang Lingyun supported him without complaint.

Without Ouyang Lingyun’s help, Luo Liansheng might not have been able to take Luo Ziling to the Northwest.

Back then, Luo Liansheng’s pockets were empty, and all his expenses were provided by Ouyang Lingyun, who also arranged for someone to escort Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling to the Northwest.

Even the fact that Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling went to the Northwest instead of the harsher environment of Tibet owed credit to Ouyang Lingyun.

It was Ouyang Lingyun, representing the Ouyang Family, who agreed to cooperate on a large scale with the Yang Family, which softened their stance.

The two knew each other when they were young, and of similar age, they hit it off immediately, though their interaction wasn’t frequent later on, they shared a deep friendship.

Luo Liansheng was very grateful to Ouyang Lingyun, and Ouyang Lingyun was filled with gratitude because Luo Liansheng saved his life and cured Ouyang Feifei’s illness.

Without these factors, how could the two old men have set a childhood betrothal between Ouyang Feifei and Luo Ziling?

Luo Liansheng and Ouyang Lingyun chatted away joyfully, while Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei whispered about things, leaving only Luo Ziling feeling bored.

Thankfully, Luo Liansheng and Ouyang Lingyun occasionally mentioned him during their conversation, preventing him from feeling left out.

As they talked more, the two old men mentioned the marriage contract between Ouyang Feifei and Luo Ziling.

Upon hearing this topic, Ouyang Feifei and Ling Ruonan also paused their conversation.

"Grandpa, things have come to this point, maintaining the marriage contract unilaterally is meaningless," Ouyang Feifei interjected promptly, "I’ve already spoken to Ziling, I’m willing to cancel the marriage contract."

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Feifei would say such a thing in front of so many people, Ouyang Lingyun was quite surprised.

Luo Liansheng showed no change in expression, but he was equally surprised inside.

Ouyang Feifei had only spoken to Luo Ziling about this matter, but she had hinted at it before Ling Ruonan, so Ling Ruonan wasn’t too surprised.

"What’s going on?" Ouyang Lingyun frowned and asked Ouyang Feifei, "What happened between you two?"

"Grandpa, if we can be together, even without this marriage contract, it’s fine; if we are destined to part, forcing it with the old contract is pointless." Ouyang Feifei didn’t mention the incident of Yang Qingye running to the company to confront her, leaving her feeling humiliated.

Whenever she thought of that incident, Ouyang Feifei felt very wronged, and her gaze towards Luo Ziling also carried a hint of resentment.

Luo Ziling could only turn his eyes away, avoiding looking at her.

Ouyang Lingyun knew Ouyang Feifei’s personality; seeing her talk about this in front of him and Luo Ziling’s mother and grandfather, it was certainly thought out carefully.

Last time, when Luo Ziling came to break off the engagement, she didn’t have a special stance, not even expressing an opinion on the marriage contract.

Therefore, Ouyang Lingyun knew that if she said such a thing publicly, it meant she wasn’t joking.

"Luo, what do you think?" Ouyang Lingyun didn’t immediately express his view but asked Luo Liansheng.

"Ouyang, I’m truly embarrassed to discuss this," Luo Liansheng appeared ashamed, "Before Ziling came to the Capital, fearing that young people would oppose parental arrangements, plus Ruonan didn’t want the younger generation to repeat their tragedy, we let Ziling come to break the engagement. At the time, I felt that the engagement between Feifei and Ziling was known by only a few people, and Feifei also resisted it. I thought breaking the engagement would benefit both families. Unexpectedly, after they interacted, things felt quite good, but now it’s become a bit troublesome. This is our mistake, and I ask for Ouyang’s forgiveness. As for how to resolve this, perhaps it’s better to leave it to the young ones to decide. The bitterness between Xusheng, Ruonan, and Yang Yunfeng has already taught us many lessons, and I don’t want similar tragedies to happen again."

Upon hearing what Luo Liansheng said, Ouyang Lingyun understood his old friend’s meaning.

Luo Liansheng actually liked Ouyang Feifei and hoped she would be Luo Ziling’s wife, but since Luo Ziling favored Yang Qingyin more, he couldn’t force it. After all, the tragedy involving Luo Xusheng, Ling Ruonan, and Yang Yunfeng left a deep impact.

Therefore, he could only sigh helplessly, "Alright then, I won’t say anything further, let’s leave it to the young ones to decide. Anyway, Ziling is still young and studying, it’s really too early to settle down at this age. Feifei is currently handling affairs for the Lingyun Group and doesn’t have much energy to consider other things. In the future, it’ll depend on destiny for both of you."

"Thank you, Grandpa, thank you, Sir Ouyang," Luo Ziling promptly stood up to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your generous understanding."

After Ouyang Feifei said those words, she remained silent, returning to her usual indifferent demeanor, seemingly unaffected by everything before her.

Luo Ziling wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he felt saying anything more was unnecessary, so he chose to stay silent.

Ling Ruonan seemed to notice something and softly suggested, "Ziling, Feifei, why don’t you two talk privately for a bit? We three also want to discuss matters unrelated to you."

"Alright," Luo Ziling nodded in agreement.

Ouyang Feifei also stood up, nodded towards Ouyang Lingyun, Luo Liansheng, and Mrs. Ling, and said, "Grandpa, Grandfather Luo, Mrs. Ling, I’ll take my leave now, please continue chatting."

After acknowledging Ling Ruonan, she gracefully walked out.

Luo Ziling followed her out.

Ouyang Feifei didn’t return to her room but walked into the courtyard.

"It’s a bit cold," seeing Ouyang Feifei dressed lightly, Luo Ziling softly suggested, "Why not wear a coat before strolling?"

Ouyang Feifei ignored Luo Ziling’s suggestion and continued walking forward, leaving Luo Ziling to catch up.

After walking a bit, reaching the edge of the pond, Ouyang Feifei casually asked Luo Ziling, "With things out in the open, are you satisfied?"

"There’s no satisfaction or dissatisfaction," Luo Ziling shook his head, "Things have already gone this way, everything is becoming increasingly complicated. Who knows, one day I might accidentally lose my life, does satisfaction even matter?"

Hearing Luo Ziling say this, Ouyang Feifei turned her head in surprise.

The dim light illuminated Ouyang Feifei’s face; her slightly surprised expression looked vivid and expressive.

In that moment of beauty, Luo Ziling was taken aback.
