Chapter 1127 - Don’t You Have Any Dignity?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Yu Lili was a lot more mature and understanding than Ou Huojin expected her to be. At the same time, he was a lot friendlier than she had imagined.
"Miss Yu, you're an orphan?" Ou Huojin asked.
"Yes, Uncle," Yu Lili said.
"I see. I heard that in addition to working for Ou Ming's comics company, you draw your own comics as well. Is that right?" Ou Huojin asked.
"Yes, Uncle," Yu Lili replied.
"Is it tiring?" he asked.
"Not at all." Yu Lili smiled. "Actually, it's the same with every job. You just have to get used to it. I initially started drawing comics as a hobby."
Ou Huojin looked at Yu Lili through the back-view mirror and nodded his head. As if he was satisfied with her answer he said, "It's good that a young person like you can hold that opinion. From your mannerisms, you really don't seem like an orphan to me. I know quite a few orphans, and most of them have an extreme view and are cynical. In comparison, you're far better."
The unexpected praise made Yu Lili a little dumbfounded. She began to blush and wasn't sure how to reply.
Ou Huojin noticed and laughed. "When did you and Ou Ming first meet?"
"We've known each other for quite some time. It was probably seven or eight years ago. I was just completing my university entry examinations then…" Yu Lili subconsciously glanced at Ou Huojin as she spoke.
If Ou Huojin wanted to find out the details these things, he could do it easily. Just like the last time she met with Jiao Ziqing, the latter had already known her background and history inside-out.
So, why was he asking her this now? Could it be that what Jiao Ziqing knew was not necessarily shared with Ou Ming's father? Or, perhaps Ou Ming's father was simply testing her.
Ou Huojin didn't seem to sense the questioning gaze in Yu Lili's eyes. He continued looking ahead as he drove and asked, "He went to you school to woo you?"
As he spoke, Ou Huojin looked into the rear-view mirror and saw Yu Lili's awkward expression. He immediately said, "I'm just a little curious. After all, Ou Ming has never talked to us about his love life. If you find it inconvenient to answer, you don't have to. It's fine."
Hearing this made Yu Lili feel that Ou Huojin's temper was leaps and bounds better than Ou Ming's and his mother's.
After giving it some thought, Yu Lili lowered her voice and answered. "There's actually nothing much to hide. About seven or eight years ago, I passed the university entry examinations, but I lacked the funds to pay my school fees. I urgently needed to find a job. It was recommended by an older acquaintance to work at a nightclub. At that point, I wasn't aware that she was recommending me to work as a social escort. When I found out, I wanted to run off immediately. The manager of the place and that acquaintance wouldn't let me leave. Ou Ming saw that, so he picked me out. After that, he brought me home, paid for my school fees, and sponsored my education… After that, we got together…"
Putting her history out in words this way did seem a little awkward. After all, in the eyes of other people, such topics were usually not easily discussed.
Yu Lili's heartbeat quickened. She started to feel a little perturbed. If it had been Ou Ming's mother, Yu Lili predicted that she'd be up in arms scolding her, "How do you have the audacity to speak aloud of such things? Don't you have any dignity?" But, what reaction would Ou Ming's father have?
She raised her eyes to the rear-view mirror to see Ou Huojin's reaction for herself. What she didn't expect was to be met with Ou Huojin's playful eyes that mirrored those of Ou Ming's. At the same time, Ou Huojin looked at her through the mirror and winked.
