This remark had come out impetuously, almost without passing through his brain. After saying it, Luo Ziling felt it was a bit abrupt.

But upon seeing Ouyang Feifei's expression finally changing, looking at him in astonishment, he felt that it was the right thing to say.

It seemed that his comment had struck a nerve with Ouyang Feifei, causing her to lose her composure.

He was very eager to hear Ouyang Feifei's response, wanting to know how she would answer after he posed such a difficult question.

Ouyang Feifei's expression quickly returned to normal, and she said in the same tone as before, "No problem, as long as you can make me fall in love with you. Lovesick for each other, blissful harmony, it's all very normal. I won't refuse."

Luo Ziling felt he had been instantly defeated by her. What kind of answer was that!

"I have no confidence that I can make you fall in love with me!" he said in frustration, and besides, it was impossible for him to make Ouyang Feifei fall in love with him.

He dared not imagine what living with Ouyang Feifei would be like.

Would it be terrifying?

"You're not someone who lacks confidence. Why not give it a try?" Ouyang Feifei's gaze became clear, and the corners of her mouth even curved up slightly, "I know you're very proud. After seeing who I truly am and knowing my circumstances, you were still determined to call off the engagement."

"It has nothing to do with pride," Luo Ziling shook his head and didn't say he was unwilling to live with Ouyang Feifei, or that he couldn't bear such indignity. Instead, he retorted with a question, "What's your reason for asking me to act as your fiancé? Is it just to fend off those suitors?"

"Exactly!" Ouyang Feifei nodded, "They've been unbearably annoying, so I hope you can help me with that."

"Who are these admirers?" asked Luo Ziling curiously. No matter the perspective, he really wanted to know who was pursuing Ouyang Feifei.

After all, he once had a marriage arrangement with Ouyang Feifei and always regarded her as someone with a very special status.

"Li Dongjun, whom you've clashed with, is one of them!"

"Oh?! I thought he was interested in pursuing your sister!" This surprised Luo Ziling. That day Li Dongjun came to help when he had a conflict with Ouyang Huihui, and he thought that guy was a suitor of Ouyang Huihui. He hadn't expected that he was actually after Ouyang Feifei.

Ouyang Feifei did not respond to Luo Ziling's words, but gave him a strange look.

"And who else?" If he didn't ask, Ouyang Feifei wouldn't say. Luo Ziling felt slightly uncomfortable.

"Chen Jiahai of the Chen Family, Fang Dongxun of the Fang Family," Ouyang Feifei casually listed two names. Seeing Luo Ziling's puzzled face, she thought for a moment and explained, "Mostly the young masters from wealthy Yanjing families. I believe you can imagine who they are."

"Do you think I'm stupid," Luo Ziling suddenly stood up from his seat, angrily pointing at Ouyang Feifei, "the people pursuing you are all such influential young masters, any one of them could snap their fingers and have me killed. If I compete with them for a woman, who knows when they might silence me, and I wouldn't even know how I died. No way, it's absolutely non-negotiable, find someone else."

Seeing Luo Ziling so agitated, Ouyang Feifei still didn't show much of a reaction and looked at him calmly, "I've stated my conditions, and you can make your own."

"I know you're very wealthy, but I'm not in need of money. I can live perfectly well on my own abilities, so I don't need your charity. Therefore, there's no chance our negotiation will succeed," Luo Ziling remained upset, "you're deliberately dragging me into the volcano's mouth. I know my proposal to break off our engagement hurt your pride, so you want revenge. You want me to be your fiancé just so you can let those special status individuals who operate above the law teach me a lesson. That way, you'd be free from harassment and could kill two birds with one stone by getting back at me as well. I can't believe you came up with such a plan."

After announcing his definitive decision, Luo Ziling became even angrier and further confirmed the accuracy of his own suspicions.

He thought this woman was too scheming, actually coming up with such cunning plans to retaliate against him.

Fortunately, he wasn't seduced by her beauty or the conditions she offered, otherwise he would have been sold out and still be counting money for her.

"You're overthinking it," Luo Ziling's fierce reaction was unexpected to Ouyang Feifei, but she just said indifferently, "As I said, you can set your terms. We can consider this a cooperation between us, to each their own benefit."

"Not interested," Luo Ziling flatly refused, "I won't appear before everyone as your fiancé. After I talked to Sir Ouyang about breaking off the engagement the other day, our engagement ceased to exist. If you're annoyed by those suitors, you can find someone else to be your fiancé. There are plenty of men who would be willing to help you. I've got to go to school and treat patients. I'm busy and don't have time to play these games with you."

Ouyang Feifei was taken aback by Luo Ziling's outright refusal; after a pause and looking at Luo Ziling, she showed a hint of contemptuous smile. "It seems the Luo Family is even more overbearing than other families, canceling an agreed-upon engagement just like that and thinking a visit to announce it is showing us respect. Have you thought about how my grandfather feels, how I feel, or the dignity of the Ouyang Family?"

At this point, Ouyang Feifei got slightly angry, "An engagement is an agreement between both parties. Just showing up to unilaterally say it's off, don't we need to discuss it first?"

This made Luo Ziling pause, suddenly unable to think of a response.

After a moment, he felt there was some logic in what Ouyang Feifei said. By coming over to break off the engagement and unilaterally expressing he didn't want to go through with it, it was indeed a bit disrespectful to Ouyang Feifei and didn't give the Ouyang Family face.

With this in mind, he blurted out involuntarily, "So, you want to go through with the engagement and have me marry you?"

His question startled Ouyang Feifei, and her face quickly showed anger, yet she did not speak.

When anger appeared on Ouyang Feifei's face, there was a somewhat terrifying feeling, and Luo Ziling, seeing it, couldn't help feeling a bit afraid.

He thought about it and realized he had said something wrong again. His words suggested as if Ouyang Feifei desperately wanted to marry him, which was a bit hurtful. He immediately tried to explain, "That's not what I meant. I didn't say you had to marry me, that we aren't allowed to cancel the marriage unilaterally..."

However, he stopped mid-sentence.

The more he spoke, the deeper he dug himself, and he felt like slapping his own mouth.

Seeing Luo Ziling abruptly stop, embarrassed, Ouyang Feifei, who had regained her composure, stood up. She didn't look at Luo Ziling, but simply said lightly, "Then you should go!"

"Okay... alright then," Luo Ziling could only stand up as well, mechanically agreeing.

"Don't forget what you promised me just now!" Ouyang Feifei said softly as she walked out, without waiting for an answer.

"Did I promise? What did I promise her?" Luo Ziling was completely confused.

But after trying to recall, he remembered what he had promised her.

When to go examine her body, to completely cure her of her illness!
