A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 1503: Chapter 1493: What Relationship

Mu Yan looked at Ouyang’s angry expression and felt even more fondness for him.

She didn’t oppose Mom remarrying; she hoped she could find someone who truly shows love through actions, not just with words.

Soon, lunch was ready.

Zhuang Shaoyang went downstairs and saw a stranger sitting next to Kong Lizhen, appearing very attentive, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

He wasn’t sure how to directly ask who it was, but fortunately, Zhuang Zeyang was nearby, so he quietly asked, ”Brother, do we have guests at home?”

Zhuang Zeyang glanced at him with a meaningful look, then went straight to the dining room to take a seat.

Zhuang Shaoyang felt a bit puzzled; what did his brother mean by that?

With questions in mind, he walked towards the dining table.

Originally, he should have been sitting next to Ah Ning, but that seat was occupied by someone else, so he had to sit next to Ruan Xinyu, diagonally across from Kong Lizhen and the others.

Once everyone was present, dishes started being served.

The old lady looked at Kong Lizhen and said, ”These are your old favorite dishes, have a taste and see if the flavor’s changed.”

”Thank you, Mom.” Kong Lizhen said, picking up a piece of meat for Mu Yan, and then took a piece for herself, eating it.

As the food entered her mouth, she realized everyone’s eyes were on her, so she finished chewing and smiled, ”It’s very tasty.”

”As long as you like it.” Ruan Xinyu smiled, ”Whenever you’re home, I’ll have the kitchen prepare the dishes you enjoy.”

”Thank you, sister-in-law.” Kong Lizhen smiled.

As she lowered her head to continue eating, some food was placed in her bowl.

She looked up to see Zhuang Shaoyang standing there, half of his body leaned over, with his chopsticks still in motion.

He looked at her and smiled, ”The flavor of this dish is just like before, try and see.”

Kong Lizhen frowned, wondering what he meant. Had he forgotten what she previously told him?

”Shao Yang truly knows Ah Ning’s tastes.” The old lady beamed, ”I remember Ah Ning liked this sour and spicy duck dish the most, try it.”

Kong Lizhen smiled and looked at the duck leg in her bowl. Just as she was about to pick it up with chopsticks, another pair came in and took it away.

”This duck leg looks quite tasty, let me try.” Ouyang said, biting into the duck leg meat.

Zhuang Shaoyang glared at him, in disbelief—who was this man? Didn’t he know manners? How could he pick food from someone else’s bowl?

Not just him, everyone else was equally shocked looking at Ouyang, Mr. Ou seemed gentle, yet his actions were quite unconventional.

Though Mu Yan hadn’t interacted much with Ouyang, she knew enough about him that if it weren’t for the elder Mr. and Mrs. present, she would’ve burst out laughing; she didn’t even need to look to know how ugly Zhuang Shaoyang’s expression was.

Ouyang swallowed the meat in his mouth and exclaimed, ”The taste of this dish is indeed great; what Zhenzhen likes is indeed different.”

He said this, then placed the duck leg back in the bowl and picked up a piece of duck meat for Kong Lizhen, ”Zhenzhen, you have some too.”

Zhuang Shaoyang’s face turned even darker—what did this man mean by this, openly trying to woo Ah Ning in front of so many people? Who did he think he was, and where did he think he was?

No one knew how much Ah Ning despised such self-righteous people better than he did, and he was just waiting for him to face embarrassment.

Yet the next scene made him unable to maintain his composure.

Kong Lizhen glanced at Ouyang, curled her lips into a slight smile, and lowered her head to eat the dish in the bowl without any sign of disdain.

Ouyang asked, ”Zhenzhen, isn’t it delicious?”

Kong Lizhen nodded, ”It’s quite good.”

Zhuang Shaoyang was furious, glancing between Ouyang and Kong Lizhen, finally realizing a most pressing issue.

What was Ah Ning’s relationship with this man?
