Chapter 523: Chapter 530

Chapter 530 Inevitable It was simple to look for an underground parking lot. Even so, soon, Ouyang Qi managed to find a quiet parking lot for Ouyang Qing.

It was a new shopping area, and the lots had yet to be fully rented out. Even the shops that were already opened barely had any customers. That was why the place was quiet.

“Is this place quiet enough for you? If it’s not, the only place left is the cemetery,” Ouyang Qi teased.

“Scram off the car,” Ouyang Qing huffed.

“What’s the matter with you? Are you burning bridges after you cross them? This car is mine!” Ouyang Qi cried out.

“Just scram when I tell you to. Why do you need to say so much nonsense?” Ouyang Qing snapped.

“What about the money? I’ve done the deed, but I haven’t gotten the money yet.”

“What money?”

“Stop playing dumb. You’re the one who asked me to work for you. You told me to listen to your instructions and that you’ll give me two hundred thousand each month for that. If not for your money, do I look like I’ll run errands for you? Are you trying to shirk the responsibility now?” Ouyang Qi questioned.

Only then did Ouyang Qing recall that conversation.

She then took out one of her cards and handed it to Ouyang Qi. “Two hundred thousand spending limit.

Be more thrifty. If you use it all, then you’ve depleted everything you have!”

“This is functional, right? You’re not trying to fool me, are you?” Ouyang Qi stared at the card dubiously.

“Pah! If it’s not usable, why would I give it to you? Take it and scram. If you don’t want it, then give it back to me.”

“Of course I want it. This is the money I deserve for my hard work. I’ll take it first. However, if I give this car back to you, how am I supposed to go back?”

“Sort it out on your own. You can always hail a cab outside. Now, scram!” Ouyang Qing impatiently remarked.

After a few steps, Ouyang Qi turned around again and asked, “You’re a girl, and it isn’t safe for you to stay here by yourself. Why don’t I linger around to protect you?”

“Just get lost, would you? If you’re not going to leave now, give me back my card!” Ouyang Qing snarled.

“All right, all right, I’m going.”

With that, Ouyang Qi took the elevator and went up to the first floor of the mall.

After a while of mulling over the matter, Ouyang Qi decided he had not done the right thing. Although Ouyang Qing looked down on him, she was still his little sister.

She’s a girl by herself there. If anything happens, no one will be able to help her.

Hence, he entered the elevator and went back down to the parking lot again. Then, he hid behind a car and watched out for her from there.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Qing, who was in her car, sent her location to Nan Xing without saying anything.

When Nan Xing received the address, he realized she was in a parking lot.

What is she doing? Instead of a hotel or a club, she’s inviting me to meet her in an underground parking lot? Has she found a group of people and is about to mess with me? Huh, but it’s unlikely.

Ouyang Qing won’t get anything good from crippling me.

At the start, he thought of getting Qiao Zhan to look for a few men to guard him, but a while later, he dismissed that thought.

Ouyang Qing’s a girl. I can’t possibly be scared of her.

Thus, he drove to the parking lot and called Ouyang Qing.

There were not many cars in the parking lot, so the man could easily spot Ouyang Qing.

The moment he saw Ouyang Qing fully swaddled from head to toe, he burst out laughing.

“Ms. Ouyang, are you some kind of runway model? Why did you wrap yourself up like a burrito?”

“What are you laughing at?” Ouyang Qing roared.

Nan Xing then opened the car door and sat by Ouyang Qing’s side. Instantly, the woman inched further away from him.

“Okay, okay. I’ll stop laughing. Why did you invite me here?”

“I’m obviously here to talk with you. You’re the reason I ended up like this. What are you going to do?”

Ouyang Qing asked.

“You’re the one who had set me up. How could you twist the story? You’re being unreasonable!” Nan Xing roared.

“Speak nicely!” Ouyang Qing snapped.

At that, Nan Xing was furious. If not for my brother ordering me to let you do as you please, I wouldn’t have bothered myself with you!

“Speak. What do you want to say?”

“I just want to ask you what you’re going to do now that I’ve turned out like this,” Ouyang Qing repeated.

That was a question Nan Xing dared not reply to her instantly, for he still had yet to figure out Ouyang Qing’s ulterior motives. Therefore, he would not dare to rashly say anything.

“Get to the point, please.”

“I want you to salvage my reputation!” Ouyang Qing blurted out.

“You’re the one who sabotaged your own reputation. How am I supposed to salvage it?” Nan Xing rebuked.

“I don’t care. This happened because of you. If not for you, I wouldn’t have been embarrassed to this point. You have to take responsibility for this!” Ouyang Qing sternly told him.

She thought that she would be able to frighten Nan Xing into submission if she were to adopt an arrogant demeanor, but unfortunately, it was useless.

Nan Xing was only amused by her act; he was not afraid at all.

The only reason he was willing to listen to Ouyang Qing’s complaints was due to Nan Chen’s orders.

“All right. In that case, what do you want me to do?”

“You have to court me from tomorrow onward. I want you to court me as publicly as possible. I want everyone in Flower City, especially the elite individuals of the upper-class social circle, to know that you’re courting me.”

Hearing that, Nan Xing laughed again. “Women have always been the ones courting me; I’ve never courted women. Say, how am I supposed to court you to the point the whole city knows about it?”

“You’re the one courting me, not the other way around. Obviously, you’ll have to think of the details yourself. If I think of everything for you, would that still count as you courting me?” Ouyang Qing questioned.

“But I’ve never courted anyone, and I don’t know how to court someone. You have to teach me, or else I wouldn’t know what to do,” Nan Xing answered with a chuckle.

“What are you laughing at? What’s there to laugh about?” Ouyang Qing fumed.

“Okay, okay, I won’t laugh anymore. Say, how am I supposed to court you?”

“Air a notice on the television saying that you’re sorry and that everything’s a misunderstanding.”

Upon hearing that, Nan Xing inhaled sharply. “Air a notice on television? Do you need to be that dramatic?”

“What’s dramatic about that? How will the entire city find out about it if you don’t make a public announcement about it? Are you unwilling to spend the money? The Nan family isn’t poor, but you won’t even spend this little amount of money? You’re not at all sincere about this!” Ouyang Qing gritted out.

Promptly, Nan Xing began mulling over the matter.

If they really decided to air it, Nan Xing would be able to afford it, obviously. Financial issues were not why he was hesitating.

If they were to air the matter on television, everyone would know about it.

From then on, Ouyang Qing would be akin to a package deal to him. If he wanted to court anyone else, that person would certainly think about this matter again.

There were no way other girls would believe that he felt nothing for Ouyang Qing once the notice was aired.

Therefore, the money for the notice was not an issue; the consequences were.

Yet, at the same time, he could not say no.

Nan Chen had told him to temporarily agree with anything Ouyang Qing requested and to not infuriate her.

Otherwise, she might go to the police and drag the Nan family into the mess with the negative publicity, and things would become difficult to deal with.

That was why Nan Xing was stumped. He could neither agree nor disagree with her.

“Hello? Why are you silent? Are you going to reject me? You’ve once confessed to me before. You said you liked me back then. Was that a lie?” Ouyang Qing bellowed.

Nan Xing pressed his lips. Back then, he had been forced by two certain people to do that.

Now, Ouyang Qing was holding him accountable for that!

That was a fate that no one could run away from.
