Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Ouyang Li approached Nan Chen, intending to humiliate him.

“Why are you here, Nan Chen? Who sent you here?” was what she had planned to ask.

Ouyang Li knew that if she said that in front of so many people, Nan Chen would surely be utterly embarrassed.

Even if he immediately got angry and walked away, I would still have the upper hand.

However, when she was only a few meters away from Nan Chen, he turned his head in her direction somewhat

intentionally, and his eyes briefly met hers.

In that split second, Ouyang Li felt defeated.

His piercing gaze, which seemed as if it could see through her, made her instantly lose the courage to say what she

had planned to.

She had a feeling that if she dared to offend Nan Chen on that occasion, most of the people there would opt to

support and follow him.

When that happens, I would be the one humiliated, not him.

As a result, Ouyang Li left those words unspoken. Just as she was about to nod a greeting to him, he had already

turned his head away and stopped looking at her.

She was instantly at a loss, not knowing what to do.

This Nan Chen is truly infuriating!

Fortunately, someone arrived at that moment. Rong Yi, who looked dashing while clad in white sportswear, also

entered.

His outfit formed a stark contrast with Nan Chen's black attire.

Both men appeared equally handsome despite the stark differences in their clothing colors, but interestingly, they

were of two completely different demeanors.

One appeared fierce and standoffish, while the other seemed warm and approachable.

No one could compare to them as they were the leading representatives of those two categories.

Out of the blue, Ouyang Li came up with the peculiar idea of using Rong Yi to oppose Nan Chen.

You think you're so handsome and stand out from the crowd, don't you? Now that there's someone here who is just

as attractive, what's there to be arrogant about?

With that in mind, Ouyang Li went over to Rong Yi. “Mr. Rong, you're finally here!”

Although all the executives present looked toward Rong Yi when they heard Ouyang Li's greeting, most of them did

not know who he was and even looked confused.

Rong Yi was, in actuality, a well-known figure, but not in the corporate world. He was popular in the music industry

as a renowned pianist.

However, those executives rarely had the time to appreciate piano music because they usually only cared about

stocks and political trends.

Some of them had pianos in their homes and had employed skilled piano instructors to teach their kids how to play

the instrument. Yet, they were unaware that the gentleman before them was an accomplished pianist.

Rong Yi was not disturbed by the fact that he was not recognized by anyone since he was mentally prepared for it.

After all, he attended the event that day so that he could gradually introduce himself to the business community of

Flower City.

Rong Yi extended his hand to Ouyang Li. “Thank you for the invitation, Ms. Li.”

After that, he turned to look at Nan Chen, and they nodded slightly at one another in greeting.

Being prominent people, they still had to maintain basic etiquette in public despite the fact that they couldn't get

along with each other in private.

As for the executives in attendance, they found the scene rather peculiar. Is Ouyang Li out of her mind? Why did

she choose to welcome a random guy when someone as important as Nan Chen is right here?

After Rong Yi's arrival, the banquet officially began.

Despite being a small-scale banquet, it was equivalent to a slightly larger-scale dinner appointment.

Such dinners had seating arrangements, with the person of the highest status seated in the middle.

Even though the table was circular, there was still a main seat—the one situated in the middle that faced the

private room door.

On the other hand, those facing away from the door were regarded as secondary seats and were used to signal the

waiters to provide services.

Everyone was waiting for the person in the main seat to take their seat before they took their own.

Naturally, Nan Chen had the highest status in that group, to which everyone agreed except for Ouyang Li.

However, since she seldom participated in social gatherings previously and did not know that a circular table had

main and secondary seating, she started ushering everyone, “Go ahead. Sit wherever you want.”

Yet, no one did as she said as they were all looking at Nan Chen.

They would only take their respective seats after Nan Chen had occupied the main seat.

Ouyang Li started wondering if those people were fools when she saw that. Do you even need to get Nan Chen's

permission before sitting? Will you all remain standing the entire night if he doesn't sit?

At that thought, she could not care less about it and plopped right down on one of the chairs.

Still, embarrassing enough, no one took their seat. Even Rong Yi remained standing.

“Sit, everyone. Why are you still standing? Food will be served soon,” Ouyang Li ushered everyone again.

Despite her words, no one sat down. Their gazes remained fixed on Nan Chen.

The latter also wanted her to understand who had the authority in that room.

However, due to having very little experience with business dinners, Ouyang Li failed to get the message even after

a long time.

Nan Chen then made a gesture of invitation, signaling everyone to sit down, but he did not take the main seat.

He might be conceited, but he still knew his manners.

After all, he attended the event that day so that he could gradually introduce himself to the business community of

Flower City.

Since everyone was acting courteously, his behavior would have been seen as disrespectful rather than arrogant if

he had taken that seat without hesitation.

However, if he did not, who would dare occupy the seat in the middle?

As a result, everyone scrambled to take the other chairs, leaving the last person who was slow to take a seat

standing there helplessly, unsure of what to do.

He did not dare to take the middle seat even though there were no other seats left.

Ouyang Li cast a glance at him. “Why aren't you sitting?”

Not knowing what to do, that person could only beg for Nan Chen's help, “Sir Chen, I think it's best we change seats.

Please sit over there.”

The latter leaned back on his chair. “No need. Just sit wherever you like.”

The man still refused to take the main seat. “That won't do. With you here, I wouldn't dare to sit there. Please take

that seat.”

Ouyang Li frowned at that. Why are they being so courteous? It's not as if that seat is gilded in gold!

“I'll switch with you then. I'll take that seat while you sit here.” Ouyang Li then stood up and sat in the middle seat.

Silence ensued in the room. No one spoke a word, thinking that she was crazy. Sir Chen is present, and yet she, a

woman, is going to sit in the middle seat?

Nan Chen was unbothered by it. He even found it very interesting that Ouyang Li went to take that seat. After all, he

had always been the one who took the main seat on various occasions, and he was long tired of sitting there.

Even though Ouyang Li sensed that the atmosphere was off, she did not regret what she had done. I want to steal

Nan Chen's spotlight, and it would be wonderful if I could make him look bad as well. That'll be so satisfying!

What angered her the most was that she had spent a long time dressing up, picking out her clothes, and retouching

her makeup countless times. Yet, Nan Chen barely even looked at her, his gaze not lingering on her for more than

three seconds.

Hatred raged within her. What's so great about you, Nan Chen? How dare you ignore me like that! I'll make you

regret it!

Everyone turned to gaze at Nan Chen after the waiter had finished pouring the wine.

After all, the most significant individual had to propose a toast for the first glass, and it was also ideal for them to

say a short speech.

However, since Ouyang Li was the host on that occasion, Nan Chen did not wish to steal the limelight, so he

remained seated.

The situation became awkward. Since Nan Chen refused to budge, no one dared to do anything either.

Ouyang Li wanted to take the lead in toasting despite being aware that the most influential person always did so.

She stood up and raised her glass. “Welcome, everyone! Let's start with a drink!”
