Ouyang Li came at a bad time. Her arrival interrupted Nan Chen's and Rong Yi's conversation.

Everyone indoors knew Nan Chen and Rong Yi were engaged in a discussion outside, so they didn't dare to interrupt the two. Ouyang Li was the only one who stepped outside.

She figured it was a good chance to take the opportunity to interact with Nan Chen.

After all, Nan Chen did mention her earlier, getting her hopes up.

She couldn't care less about Nan Chen stealing her limelight as the host. All she could think of was how Nan Chen mentioned her for the first time of his own accord.

Rong Yi saw Ouyang Li approaching and nodded at her before excusing himself.

Nan Chen wasn't aware of the weird thoughts running through Ouyang Li's mind. He merely greeted her with a polite nod.

The nod out of sheer courtesy sent Ouyang Li's heart pounding once again.

She understood it was basic etiquette, and Nan Chen didn't regard her as anyone important, but it didn't stop her heart from racing.

At that moment, she knew she had fallen head over heels for Nan Chen.

Her intelligence and confidence would take a nosedive, and her ability to make a logical judgment was thrown out the window whenever Nan Chen was present. His every move affected her.

It was terrifying!

Ouyang Li had never encountered a situation like this before. She thought it wouldn't happen to her anytime soon in this lifetime.

Yet it did.

After Nan Chen politely greeted her, he turned around to leave with no intention of speaking with her.

Before she could think twice, she blurted out, “Nan Chen.”

She didn't call him “Sir Chen” like everyone else nor address him by his title, “Mr. Nan.” Instead, she addressed him directly by his name, thinking it sounded more imposing and would maybe make them seem closer that way.

Nan Chen couldn't care less about the way she addressed him. He stopped in his tracks, but only for a few seconds before he continued walking ahead.
