Her sister was always trying to pair her with Zhan Yuan.
The moment Zhan Yuan left, her sister came in. Ouyang Ya could guess with her toes that it had something to do with him.
If she didn’t know Zhan Yuan’s loyalty to her, Ouyang Ya might have suspected her sister had been bribed by him.
Ouyang Ting laughed, “I saw Zhan Yuan leave just as I came in. He was very polite to me, with a gentle smile, and his eyes showed respect when he looked at me, completely different from how he looks at you, Sis.”
“I noticed early on that when Zhan Yuan looks at you, his eyes light up with affection and indulgence.”
“Rather than saying he’s loyal to you, it’s more like he dotes on you.”
Ouyang Ya: “…”
“Sis, from the first time I saw Zhan Yuan, I said he’s no ordinary man and that he matches you well. You know me, I don’t usually tease you, but after meeting Zhan Yuan, I can’t help it.”
“I genuinely think you and Zhan Yuan are a great match. Before, we didn’t know his true identity, and you might’ve worried the family elders wouldn’t approve. Now we know he’s the sixth young master of the Zhan family from Dongguan.”
“The Zhan family in Dongguan is a billionaire dynasty. Though it’s far from here, they’re truly our equal in status.”
“The Zhan family’s good reputation is well-known.”
“Sis, I think it’ll be hard to find someone as suitable as Zhan Yuan. He meets all your requirements.”
Ouyang Ya teased her sister, “Why don’t you start a matchmaking company? Become a professional Cupid, tying the knot for City A’s single men and women. It’d be a good deed.”
“Ting, you don’t need to worry about my love life. I know what I’m doing.”
“No matter how the outside world sees us, no matter how big their ambitions or schemes, let them come. I’ll handle whatever they throw at me. I don’t need to rely on anyone.”
Even if Zhan Yuan was the most suitable for her, Ouyang Ya didn’t want to rely on dating or marriage to protect the Ouyang family. She wanted to defeat all their rivals plotting against them with her own strength.
That way, those people would truly fear her.
Not because she relied on a marriage.
What if the marriage didn’t last?
As the saying goes, relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself.
Being strong yourself is the best.
“Zhan Yuan is great. Let’s just let things happen naturally.”
Ouyang Ya was no longer resistant to her sister’s matchmaking with Zhan Yuan.
After spending so much time with him and getting to know him deeply, Ouyang Ya did feel a spark.
“Keep an eye on that Long guy. His eldest son, Long Tuo, I think? He’s about your age. They might try to approach you.”
Ouyang Ting’s face darkened, “They’re looking down on me.”
Ouyang Ya laughed, “They’re underestimating you, which is good for us. It lets you catch them off guard.”
“True. If they dare underestimate me, I’ll show them the consequences.”
The sisters shared a smile, analyzing what Mr. Long might do.
Meanwhile, Mr. Long had boarded a flight to Dongguan.
In Dongguan, Ning Siqi received a notice that her patron would arrive in a few hours, asking her to prepare in advance. While shopping, Ning Siqi cursed inwardly, calling Mr. Long an old lecher.
Though she cursed him in her heart, she had to put on a happy face.
The old lecher’s visits did have some perks, she could act coy, ask for extra bonuses, and coax him into buying the expensive jewellery and bags she’d been eyeing but couldn’t bring herself to purchase.
