The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 545: Chapter 545: It’s Just to Satisfy Your Own Vanity
 

Luo Ziling walked down the stairs and when he came to a stop in the living room downstairs, Wang Qing, who always had grievances against him, couldn’t help but gaze at him intently.

Luo Ziling usually looked quite handsome, a fact Wang Qing had never denied.

Today, dressed in a sharp suit and with a smile on his face, Luo Ziling looked even more noble and handsome. Wang Qing unconsciously spaced out for a few seconds before frantically turning her head away.

Yet, she couldn’t help but sneak another glance at him, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

After washing her face and calming her mind, Ouyang Feifei came down from the stairs a little later.

After thinking for a moment, she asked Luo Ziling to stand still while she arranged his hair for him.

“Your hair is still a bit messy, it will look handsomer if combed properly,” Ouyang Feifei said, no longer flustered as before but with a proud look, as if Luo Ziling belonged to her.

Without waiting for Luo Ziling’s refusal, she instructed Wang Qing to bring a comb and some hair gel.

Under Ouyang Feifei’s semi-forced hand, Luo Ziling eventually sat obediently on the couch, letting her fuss over him.

In fact, he didn’t mind this kind of contact with Ouyang Feifei. After all, she was a great beauty that everyone adored, and being in close contact with such a beauty was a wonderful thing. Not to mention she was dressing him up.

With Ouyang Feifei personally taking charge, Luo Ziling’s hair was quickly combed neatly.

After finishing Luo Ziling’s hair, Ouyang Feifei stepped back to take a look and showed a very satisfied expression.

Despite the clear dissatisfaction on her face, Wang Qing still had a hint of amazement looking at Luo Ziling.

She began to understand why her young miss looked at this troublemaker differently—he really was handsome.

Feeling the strange looks from the two women, Luo Ziling stood up and went to look in the mirror. Seeing his own handsome reflection, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Did you make me too handsome? Aren’t you worried that I’ll be surrounded by beauties tonight?”

This remark elicited simultaneous scoffs of dissatisfaction from the two women.

“You always look like this, at your handsomest. When everyone sees it, they will remember you,” Ouyang Feifei scoffed, yet still she explained why she dressed him up like this.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She made Luo Ziling look very handsome mainly to satisfy her own vanity and a special purpose.

Ouyang Feifei had her own motives. Appearing at the party with such a handsome Luo Ziling meant she didn’t need to explain anything; it would keep many people away from her. If her male companion was this handsome, would those less handsome than him dare to cozy up?

The man who could walk with her and show up together in public had to be handsome, to match her. She wouldn’t want Luo Ziling to wear casual clothes, deliberately mess up his hair, and put on a pair of glasses, appearing in front of the public like an ugly duckling.

“You want me to make you look good, right?” Luo Ziling pinpointed Ouyang Feifei’s thoughts sharply, “You’re dressed beautifully, and I’m dressed up too, so we’ll look well-matched to everyone, right?”

Ouyang Feifei was quite annoyed that Luo Ziling said such playful words in front of Wang Qing.

But in the end, she just pulled a cold face and ordered Wang Qing grumpily, “Prepare to leave.”

After getting into Ouyang Feifei’s Rolls-Royce, Luo Ziling chose a seat opposite her.

“What should I be doing tonight?” Luo Ziling also began to consider how he would present himself at the soiree, so he asked Ouyang Feifei, “Should I take the initiative to cozy up to those key figures, or just wait for them to come and greet me? I must tell you, I’ve never been to such a gathering before and have no experience whatsoever.”

“Blatant lies,” Ouyang Feifei glared at Luo Ziling discontentedly, “Weren’t you at the scene of a soiree when you had that conflict with Ling Haijun? And at Huihui’s birthday, wasn’t it also a soiree?”

“So that’s what it was like,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “Now I understand.”

“You just stick with me. Those people you need to know, I will introduce you to them. There’s no need to make the acquaintance of the rest.” Ouyang Feifei solemnly added a reminder, “Remember, you’re the son of Ling Ruonan, the Crown Prince of Northern Group. Tonight, you are the distinguished guest attending the soiree with me, Ouyang Feifei. A person of your status doesn’t need to deliberately please anyone, nor do you need to know those of ordinary status. You only need to interact with important figures.”

“It seems that people really are ranked into categories,” Luo Ziling said with a bitter smile.

Ouyang Feifei ignored his comment, looking out of the window instead.

Luo Ziling decided not to say anything further. He realized that lately, he had indeed become quite slick and jokingly, fond of saying all sorts of nonsensical things that almost slipped out involuntarily.

No wonder Yang Qingyin had said so.

Thinking of Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling immediately decided to send her a message before entering the soiree, candidly sharing his plans for the evening to prevent her from looking for him.

It was nearly five o’clock in the afternoon, and the traffic was slightly congested, slowing down the pace of the cars.

When they arrived at the hotel where the soiree was being held, it was nearly dark.

After the car stopped, Ouyang Feifei did not immediately get out but continued to sit quietly.

Luo Ziling didn’t have such patience; as soon as the car stopped, he opened the door and got out, nearly bumping into Wang Qing who came over to open the door for him.

Ignoring the angry look from Wang Qing, Luo Ziling got out of the car and curiously surveyed the hotel.

At the entrance of the lobby, he could see a welcome banner fluttering in the wind, its content indistinct.

Only then did Ouyang Feifei get out of the car. As she did so, Wang Qing bowed his head and shielded the door with his hand to prevent her from bumping her head against the top of the car. Luo Ziling couldn’t help but disdain the whole act.

However, Ouyang Feifei’s gaze now turned to him, carrying a slight hint of blame.

Luo Ziling, unfazed, continued to look around carelessly.

“Ziling, stay close by my side. Don’t just look around everywhere. Consider yourself the most noble person here, and remember, people like us must wait for someone else to open the door before getting out of the car, got it?” Ouyang Feifei came close to him and whispered, then headed forward with her head high and chest out, stepping gracefully.

Luo Ziling hurried to keep up and, after a moment’s thought, decided to walk alongside Ouyang Feifei.

Seeing Luo Ziling show such awareness pleased Ouyang Feifei somewhat.

However, Luo Ziling didn’t know that his walking side by side with Ouyang Feifei toward the hotel conveyed a completely different meaning to onlookers.
