She's Hard to Get

"There are some things that are hard to say, and after this incident, there will definitely be some commotion. We still have a lot of work to do."

Ouyang Jue knew that if he were to explain the reason for this matter, Ning Caier would only feel even more guilty, so he skipped over the part where he explained the situation, and said that the Bai Family was not in a good mood, so no matter who asks her in the future, he should not bring up the matters of the Bai Family.

"Really?" Ning Caier watched as Ouyang Jue hoped that he could use his blessings. She was now extremely anxious to see Bai Youya to find her own happiness. After all, in her eyes, Bai Youya was a kind and good person.

"Of course it's true. There's also something very important that you have to listen to carefully." Ouyang Jue solemnly paused for a moment, seeing that Ning Caier was staring at him, as though she was waiting for his instructions, this kind of gaze was a form of encouragement to him, thus he solemnly emphasized on their relationship.

"No matter what happens, I am now truly single. I can now openly pursue any woman I want. Cai'er, do you understand?"

"I don't understand."

Ning Caier's face immediately flushed red. She knew what Ouyang Jue was referring to, but she already had Han Yuqi, so she couldn't accept another man's confession any longer. Thus, she quickly scuttled to the door in a panic and wanted to escape.

Ning Caier could not let Ouyang Jue say those words. Now, the Ning family owed him such a huge favor, if this was in the ancient times, she would definitely repay him with her body, so she did not know how to reject him.

"You really don't understand? Then I'll find out when I get there. "

Ouyang Jue blocked the door of the room first with a step. Today, his mood was especially relaxed, and now that he was single, he had enough reasons to compete fairly with Han Yuqi, which made him feel like he no longer had a single weakness left. So today, he wanted to make an official confession with Ning Caier.

To let Ning Caier make the right choice between him and Han Yuqi, as long as she was willing to face his pursuit head on, she would understand that she was the most suitable person for her.

"Cai'er, I like you."

Ouyang Jue moved closer to Ning Caier and propped one of his hands against the wall. Ning Caier's body was instantly forced to the wall, and at such a close distance, she could only raise her head and gaze into his eyes. His scorching gaze nearly melted her body into ashes, causing her breathing to become especially hurried.

"I …"

Ning Caier wanted to dodge like a frightened little beast, but the warmth coming from Ouyang Jue's body gave off a special kind of warmth, and this warmth made her involuntarily want to get close to him. She even had a thought that she could not believe in herself, and if not for Han Yuqi, she might really be drunk on this warmth.

"I already have a boyfriend." Ning Caier anxiously pulled on the corner of her clothes. She bit her lower lip and wanted to keep herself awake. Even if Ouyang Jue did owe the Ning Family a favor, she couldn't let him down.

"I know, but as long as you're not married, I'll have a chance to pursue you." Ouyang Jue took out a ring from his pocket. This ring had a very simple design, it only had a small ring on it, but it was engraved with Ning Caier's name, "This ring was decided long ago, if you are willing, from today onwards, you will be my, Ouyang Jue's, fiancee."

Ouyang Jue's present was beyond Ning Caier's expectations, but before she could reject it, Ouyang Jue did an even more surprising action. He slowly kneeled down in front of Ning Caier, and this was a standard marriage proposal. She was the only woman he wanted to marry in his entire life, so he directly promised his his marriage in the process of skipping his girlfriend.

Every woman fantasized about having a boyfriend who could kneel on one knee and propose to them. Although Ouyang Jue wasn't her boyfriend, he was a man who was elegant and unrestrained, with a kindness that was as heavy as a mountain. It was hard for her to immediately reject him when he was kneeling in front of his.

"Ouyang, you can't."

Ning Caier's voice was a little weak and powerless. When she had heard Ouyang Jue's confession in the past, she had always immediately thought of his marriage with Bai Youya, so her refusal was as quick as a conditioned reflex. But now that the marriage had been dissolved, she couldn't find a reasonable reason not to let Ouyang Jue pursue her.

"Can you close your eyes?" Ning Caier looked at the storage ring on Ouyang Jue's hand and took two deep breaths, she could not reject him, so she could only escape. After seeing that he had closed his eyes, she quickly ran out of the room.

The flustered footsteps in the corridor amused Ouyang Jue. It was the first time he met a woman who wanted to flee in panic in front of him. However, he still felt that this was a huge improvement in their relationship. At least, she did not reject him this time.

Ning Caier jumped into a taxi right after she came out of the hotel. She kept her head down the entire time, afraid that the Driver would discover that her face was completely red. When she got home, her face was still burning. She washed her face several times in the bathroom, but the redness still lingered on his cheeks.

"Cai'er, didn't you go on a business trip today?"

When Ning Ancheng came back, he knocked on the door of the washroom. His expression had already recovered, the police had already informed him of the progress of the case, and now not only did he not have to go to jail, he could even take back all the money he had previously invested. As a result, his emotions instantly returned to the past.

He showed off his skills in the kitchen and cooked several dishes from his hometown. Now, these dishes were all out of the pot, and the room was filled with fragrance.

"It's temporarily cancelled. Dad, why did you cook so many dishes? So many things have happened during this period of time, you should take a good rest."

Ning Caier tried to look calm as much as possible. She could smell the fragrance in the room, her father had actually made competition crab, grilled meat, and fish and lamb dishes, all of these dishes were made at home during the new year, it was because it was too time-consuming. It seemed that ever since she left home, her father had not been idle, thus he was able to bring so many dishes to the table at night.

"It's nothing. I'm fine now, and you actually have so many good cooking utensils. I feel my hand itch. Oh right, since when were you so interested in cooking?"

Ning Ancheng played with the kitchen utensils in the kitchen, he had always been very interested in cooking. He immediately recognized that this was a top-grade kitchen utensil imported from abroad and that it was quite expensive. However, his daughter's interest in cooking had always been average, so it was impossible for her to buy such expensive utensils. Thus, the moment he entered the kitchen, he felt that his daughter probably had a boyfriend.

"It's from a friend." Ning Caier did not dare say that these things were brought over by Ouyang Jue, she wanted to let this matter pass, so she quickly took out the tableware to eat, but Ning Ancheng's next words made Ning Caier feel that she should continue discussing about cooking utensils.

"Cai'er, go upstairs and treat CEO Ouyang, we'll treat him to a meal today."

Initially, she had wanted to avoid Ouyang Jue for a few days to calm her heart, but she did not expect Ning Ancheng to actually propose to invite her to dinner as a form of thanks. This caused the time for the two of them to meet once again to close.

"Dad, CEO Ouyang has eaten a lot of good things, so he wouldn't like us simple food."

Ning Caier almost cried out involuntarily when she heard her father's thoughts. Ouyang Jue had just proposed to her, if she invited him to dinner, he would definitely misunderstand that she wanted to agree to him. This way, it would be even harder for her to explain everything to him.

Even his parents did not know that Han Yuqi had said this to prevent others from gossiping about Ning Caier. Furthermore, he was not ready yet, and did not want to face Ning Caier's parents right now, lest the elders' opinions affect their relationship.

This was something that Han Yuqi had decided on, so of course Ning Caier had no objections. But if Ouyang Jue brought up the matter of marriage again during dinner, maybe his parents would really agree to repay his kindness, and how would she explain that later.

"Cai'er, what you said isn't right. No master encountered such a big matter, yet spent so much energy to help our family. We can't possibly not express such a great favor." "If you're embarrassed to ask, I'll do it right now."

Ning Ancheng had been thinking at home for the entire afternoon, and was unable to repay Ouyang Jue's kindness towards him. No matter what kind of gift he gave, it was probably too ordinary in the eyes of the CEO, so all he could do was express his sincerity.

Thus, he and Ning Caier's mother busily prepared these dishes for the entire afternoon. He felt that Ouyang Jue wasn't someone who looked down on the poor;

"No need, Dad, I'll go invite him." Ning Caier was afraid that Ouyang Jue would say something to her, so she could only go to his house. Even though they lived upstairs and downstairs, it was usually Ouyang Jue who went downstairs to look for her, so it was Ning Caier's first time coming up.

Ning Caier braced herself and pressed the doorbell, praying that Ouyang Jue was not home. That way, she could have an explanation with her father and make him give up on the idea of inviting Ouyang Jue to dinner.

The moment she rang the doorbell, Ouyang Jue opened the door from the inside. He had just returned from the hotel, and seeing that Ning Caier had actually appeared in front of his door so quickly, he immediately revealed a dubious smile.

"What, regret?" Ouyang Jue reached his hand into his own pocket. This ring was exclusive to her, and only she could become its master.

"It was my dad who asked me to come up and treat you to dinner." Seeing that he was about to take out the storage ring again, Ning Caier quickly stopped him. She didn't want to face such an awkward situation twice a day.

"My dad said that we should properly thank you for saving our lives. Otherwise, he would definitely be in jail right now. We must ask the CEO to reward us."

She had already retreated to the side of the elevator. Whether Ouyang Jue went or not, she had already finished her words, and now she had to immediately cut off all contact with Ouyang Jue to prevent this from getting more and more messy.

However, Ning Caier couldn't help but remind Ouyang Jue before the elevator was started. Don't tell her family about what happened today, Ning Caier had always been a strict tutor, and she didn't want her father to know that she went to Ouyang Jue and his press conference. She even became the focus of everyone's attention.
