Chapter 144: Dragon Boat Race 3 The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (2/2)
After walking through quite a few boats, Ouyang Shaochen came before Su Dishi, “Teacher!”
Su Dishi was in his sixties, his hair and beard all white, with a light sickly look shown between his brows, but still he looked in good spirits anyway. Looking at the noble and graceful Ouyang Shaochen, he was a little surprised, “You are…Shaochen…”
“You still remember me! You really have a good memory.” said Ouyang Shaochen blandly, with his lips curled up slightly.
Su Dishi stroked his whiskers and smiled, “You are far-famed and has made impressive achievements. No one hasn’t heard about you.”
“You flatter me, teacher. How you been recently?” asked Ouyang Shaochen softly while looking at him.
“A lot better, thanks to Nanxiang’s careful coddling…” said Su Dishi smilingly, then pulled Su Nanxiang who was standing behind him before Ouyang Shaochen, “This is my granddaughter Nanxiang. You have met before when you were young, remember?”
Ouyang Shaochen caught a glimpse of her and said, “Sure. Hi, Miss Su.” There was kind of indifference and alienation in his silvery voice.
“Prince Ouyang!” Su Nanxiang bowed to him politely, with her beautiful eyes peeping at Ouyang Shaochen now and then.
Su Dishi immediately understood what was going on, so he smiled and said, “I’m too old, I can only sit here to enjoy the view. I’m afraid I can’t go enjoy the dragon boat race. But I am a little worried about Naxiang if she goes alone. Can you take care of her for me?”
His words made Su Nanxiang blushed. She raised her head and waited for Ouyang Shaochen’s answer expectantly: Actually she came here today, only hoping that she could watch the dragon boat race together with him shoulder by shoulder…
“I’m so sorry, teacher, but I have got a date. She is dull and foolish and needs my care. So I’m afraid I have no time and energy to spare on Miss Su.”
On hearing that Ouyang Shaochen turned her down, Su Nanxiang’s delicate face immediately turned pale, with her hands in the sleeves clenched tightly: She brings her grandfather to watch the dragon boat festival, actually she thinks that for the sake that he is Ouyang Shaochen’s tutor, he would not say no and hang out with her…
But it turned out he was so hardhearted to directly reject her grandfather’s request. He really had gone too far…
Su Dishi also didn’t expect Ouyang Shaochen would reject him. The kind smile froze on his face, but soon he regained his smile, “It’s OK. since your friend is here, of course you should take care of her…”
“Thank you for your understanding…” said Ouyang Shaochen flatly, with kind of unnoticeable delight flashing in his deep eyes, which made Murong Xue quite unhappy. He had a lot of reasons to reject Su Dishi, but why would he denounce her? Damn Ouyang Shaochen…
Murong Xue glared at Ouyang Shaochen, while Ouyang said blandly, looking at Su Dishi, “The dragon boat race is about to begin. If there’s nothing else, please pardon me.”
“Suit yourself!” said Su Dishi smilingly, looking quite kind.
“Farewell!” speaking of which, Ouyang Shaochen turned around and strode away.
Watching him fade away, Su Nanxiang looked quite anxious. So he just left like that? She even barely said anything with him! How can that be?
She then turned to Su Dishi, “Grandpa!”
Su Dishi heaved a long sigh, “Nanxiang, you can’t force someone for a relationship. Since Shaochen has no feelings for you, even if I forced him to stay, the one on his mind would never be you…”
Su Nanxiang gritted her teeth with resent! Ouyang Shaochen didn’t see her because Murong Xue was standing between them. If she could get rid of Murong Xue, Shaochen would lay his eyes on her then…
