Chapter 79 Rejection

Ouyang Mengmian had just finished a shower, and her body was still emitting a faint fragrance. She stood casually in front of the mirror, holding a hair dryer to dry her damp short hair. At this moment, a pleasant cell phone ringtone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room.

She stopped what she was doing and looked at the phone on the dressing table in confusion. A familiar name was flashing on the phone screen - Xu Lingfeng. Seeing this name, Ouyang Mengmian immediately turned off the hair dryer and quickly pressed the answer button on the phone.

"Hello?" Ouyang Mengmian's voice was as soft and pleasant as usual.

"Mengmian, it's me." Xu Lingfeng's deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone, as if it could penetrate the phone and reach Ouyang Mengmian directly. His voice was like a glass of mellow red wine, making people intoxicated.

Hearing Xu Lingfeng's voice, Ouyang Mengmian smiled: "Well, I know it's you. You just went back for a day, and you called me so late. Is there something wrong?"

"...There's nothing special, I just miss you and want to hear your voice..." Although Xu Lingfeng on the other end of the phone answered a little slowly, after a short period of silence, he answered the question very simply and directly, and his magnetic voice when he spoke sounded very seductive.

It was rare to see Xu Lingfeng being so straightforward yet clingy. Ouyang Mengmian could not help being stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. She said softly, "Xu...Xu Lingfeng, you...you really are...'A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence...' Oh, no, it's 'A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after one day of absence'! From whom did you learn these techniques of picking up girls, so old yet new..."

Xu Lingfeng was listening to Ouyang Mengmian's soft and pleasant laughter on the other end of the phone. The corners of his mouth rose involuntarily and a bright smile appeared on his face.

He cleared his throat slightly and coughed lightly, his voice revealing a bit of helplessness and endless doting: "Mengmian, please stop teasing me. I'm speaking from the heart, I really miss you. As for those words, they were just what I said naturally out of my feelings..."

Ouyang Mengmian was afraid that Xu Lingfeng would continue to say more disgusting love words, so she quickly interrupted him: "Okay, okay, I get it... You went back in a hurry, are you busy with work?"

Xu Lingfeng deftly turned his body on the bed and changed to a more comfortable and relaxed position. While kneading his stiff neck, he habitually answered: "You don't know me yet? From childhood to adulthood, apart from you, there is nothing I can't handle!"

After listening to Xu Lingfeng's words, Ouyang Mengmian quickly recalled everything they had experienced since childhood, even though it was a very short time.

It didn't matter if she recalled it, Ouyang Mengmian really felt like she was born to be Xu Lingfeng's nemesis. She couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Yes, who are you, the famous Xu Lingfeng! But no matter how capable you are, you are still defeated by me!"

Xu Lingfeng's smile deepened, and his voice became gentler: "Yes, yes, you are awesome. I am willing to be defeated by you, okay?"

It has to be said that Xu Lingfeng's skills in coaxing people have obviously improved over the years - after hearing what Xu Lingfeng said, Ouyang Mengmian was already laughing so hard that her eyebrows were not visible.

The atmosphere between the two was extremely harmonious.

Xu Lingfeng remembered what he had been secretly worried about, and tentatively asked Ouyang Mengmian: "Mengmian...are you okay over there? Is there anything annoying...or anyone?"

Xu Lingfeng's question froze Ouyang Mengmian's originally cheerful expression. When Xu Lingfeng mentioned "annoying things or people" to her, somehow, Su Jingsi's face suddenly appeared in her mind.

Ouyang Mengmian herself didn't know what was going on with her. Why did she think of Su Jingsi when Xu Lingfeng asked this question? Perhaps it was because Su Jingsi's gaze at her was too scorching, which made her suddenly attribute him to a "troublesome person"!

But she quickly put this idea behind her: Su Jingsi told her that he really liked watching her performances. In this era, star-chasing is prevalent, and all kinds of crazy star-chasing behaviors are common and jaw-dropping. Although she was a little uncomfortable with Su Jingsi's fiery gaze, he just stared at her, which was quite restrained compared to those extreme fans.

Xu Lingfeng held the phone tightly, listening quietly to the noise on the other end of the line. Time passed by, but Ouyang Mengmian remained silent and did not give any response. This sudden silence made Xu Lingfeng's heart tighten, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

His muscles tensed up instantly, as if his whole body was tightened by an invisible force. At this moment, he was like a cheetah ready to attack, waiting with full concentration. Although he was full of anxiety and worry, Xu Lingfeng still tried his best to control his emotions and asked in a gentle tone: "Mengmian? Are you okay? Have you really encountered any troubles or people who bother you?"

Xu Lingfeng's voice revealed concern and anxiety. He spoke every word carefully, fearing that it would put pressure on Ouyang Mengmian. At the same time, he was praying silently, hoping that everything was just a false alarm and that what he was worried about would never happen.

After hearing what Xu Lingfeng said, Ouyang Mengmian suddenly came back to her senses. She realized that her silence might have made Xu Lingfeng worried. She smiled quickly, her voice sounding as relaxed as ever: "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something. Don't worry, I'm fine here, there's nothing annoying or anyone."

Although Xu Lingfeng still had some doubts in his heart, he stopped asking after hearing what Ouyang Mengmian said. He knew very well that Ouyang Mengmian had always been an independent and strong girl who could handle her own affairs.

However, the hidden worries deep in his heart still made him unable to be completely at ease, so he deliberately made his voice more gentle: "That's good. If you have any problems, you must tell me, I will face it with you... When I am done with this busy period, I will go to City A to see you... Or in the future, I will try every means to let the company develop more business in City A, and I will go there to work..."

When Ouyang Mengmian heard that Xu Lingfeng was planning to work in City A for a long time, she felt an instinctive resistance. She felt that if things continued like this, she would fall back into the familiar life pattern of the past.

Therefore, before Xu Lingfeng finished speaking, Ouyang Mengmian hurriedly spoke up to stop him: "Xu Lingfeng! No, you don't need to come to City A to work just for me! Don't worry, I can take care of myself!"

When Xu Lingfeng heard Ouyang Mengmian reject his proposal so firmly, he suddenly felt a strong sense of loss. He was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Mengmian, I... just hope that you can live a better life and want to accompany you more. I may have said the wrong thing just now. Our company... has long planned to enter the market of City A. I didn't come to City A just for you..."

Ouyang Mengmian heard the disappointment in Xu Lingfeng's words, and immediately realized that her rejection was too obvious, which seemed to be a sign of "not knowing how to appreciate a good person". She hurriedly explained, "Xu Lingfeng...you...misunderstood, that's not what I meant. I know you care about me and want to spend more time with me. But I don't want you to do something you don't like because of me, and I don't want you to change for me."

After hearing Ouyang Mengmian's explanation, Xu Lingfeng's sense of loss was slightly relieved. He smiled softly, with a voice full of relief and helplessness: "Mengmian, thank you for thinking about me. Don't worry, everything I do is done willingly. Regarding the company's affairs in City A, I will discuss with the company to see how to make the most appropriate arrangements..."

After getting Xu Lingfeng's assurance that he would never do anything deliberately because of him, Ouyang Mengmian felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and he felt relaxed all over.

In the following conversation with Xu Lingfeng, Ouyang Mengmian obviously felt that he was much more relaxed. The atmosphere between the two was as harmonious as before, and the topics became more and more random, as if everything before was just a trivial storm.

The two chatted for a while until Ouyang Mengmian felt a little sleepy, and then he hung up the phone with Xu Lingfeng.
