Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: Rogue Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: Rogue Luo Ziling returned to the living room to find the three won still discussing matters.
After listening to them for a mont, Luo Ziling interjected, “Mom, I think, for that issue, since Great Grandfather and Grandpa have already punished the descendants of the Ling Family, we shouldn’t pursue it any further. If we investigate thoroughly, it would be disrespectful to the two elders, don’t you think?”
“You make a good point,” Ling Ruonan nodded, her expression showing no particular reaction, “Let’s just let this matter pass then!”
Ouyang Feifei had just inford Ling Ruonan that her people had uncovered so clues and were following the trail, possibly leading to the real culprit. Ouyang Feifei was quite surprised to hear Ling Ruonan suggest dropping the investigation now.
However, she quickly grasped the situation.
The incident was likely the work of soone in the Ling Family; the two old patriarchs of the Ling Family had already punished those responsible. Regardless of the truth, it no longer seed important. Hence, she agreed not to continue with the investigation.
Yang Qingyin also felt a little surprised, but her thoughts differed from Ouyang Feifei’s. She always believed that the matter wasn’t so simple and definitely held so hidden secrets. She even considered the possibility of a self-staged plot. But even harboring such suspicions, she couldn’t voice them.
After chatting for a while, Ouyang Feifei prepared to take her leave and offered to drop Yang Qingyin off on the way.
Yang Qingyin declined, saying she would head back on her own.
Ouyang Feifei didn’t insist and left first.
“Mom, I think I will go back to the school to sleep today. I need to pack my things,” Luo Ziling noticed that Yang Qingyin didn’t seem to be leaving and understood her intentions. This woman certainly wanted to spend ti alone with him and had sothing to discuss.
“That’s up to you,” Ling Ruonan could tell there was sothing unusual between the two and didn’t force Luo Ziling to stay. Still, she asked him to co to the study with her, saying she had sothing to discuss privately.
Once in the study, Ling Ruonan asked Luo Ziling, “Did you send anyone to investigate the attack you suffered last ti?”
“No,” Luo Ziling shook his head. “After all, it’s in the past. Great Grandfather and Grandpa have punished them, and that’s enough.”
“Don’t speak so carelessly; it could complicate matters,” Ling Ruonan warned. “If you have ti, make frequent appearances at the Northern Group headquarters, considering you’re now holding a position there. Even though dical Investnt Limited Company is still in preparation, your appointnt has been made official. It’s necessary for the high-ranking officials there to see you often and to hear you discuss matters related to dical services.”
“Mom, I understand. I’m not leaving until tomorrow afternoon, so I’ll co over tomorrow morning and we can chat then.”
Ling Ruonan added, “Take this opportunity to collaborate with Ouyang Feifei in the south. Discuss things further. She is very sincere about partnering with us, and she certainly won’t have any hidden intentions towards you. Also, your uncle Ling Zhengping has just been appointed to serve in the south; his assignnt could be issued within the next day or two. He will be the second in command in Yue Province. I hope you don’t run into each other, but if you do, try to avoid conflict, understand?”
“So soon?” Luo Ziling was taken aback to hear that Ling Zhengping was ready to take up a post in the south and that it was happening imdiately. He found the efficiency of the special departnts hard to imagine. “Could this have been arranged in advance?”
Ling Ruonan hesitated, then decided to reveal so confidential information, “The position of the administrative head of Yue Province has been vacant for a long ti, and many have been eyeing it. Great Grandfather wanted Ling Zhengping there too, but he was reluctant because he didn’t want to be the second in command. After everything that’s happened, he doesn’t have much choice but to accept. Once Great Grandfather’s word was out, the decision was quickly made, and the order was issued. Since the position has been open for over a month, he naturally has to assu his post promptly.”
“I understand!” Luo Ziling replied, though he didn’t fully grasp the situation. He was aware that there must be many other things he didn’t know.
He simply didn’t want to ask or probe too much.
“Your acceptance of Wu Mingyun’s invite to help out and your clash with Yang Yunlin, even hitting his secretary, has beco common knowledge,” Ling Ruonan ntioned after a mont of thought, deciding to bring up the rather serious issue, “You were too rash. The secretary is also his person, to so extent representing his dignity. Slapping his secretary in front of others, it’s no wonder he was angry!”
“Mom, maybe after such an incident, he’ll think I’m rather unusual,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “What’s done is done, and regretting it is pointless. If he wants to take revenge, then I’ll just have to deal with it.”
“He will definitely retaliate against you, and he will also try to stop you from dating Yang Qingyin. Judging by her deanor today, she must have been scolded by her father,” Ling Ruonan sighed. “If you really want to be with Yang Qingyin, then don’t confront Yang Yunlin head-on. You want to be with his daughter but also at odds with him; things can only get more complicated. It’s Yang Qingyin who will suffer the most, caught in the middle.”
“Mom, I understand. I will communicate with them properly,” Luo Ziling didn’t talk back anymore.
Ling Ruonan didn’t say much else and told Luo Ziling to go back and rest early.
After leaving the study, Luo Ziling called Yang Qingyin to leave.
Yang Qingyin did not ask questions, obediently said goodbye to Ling Ruonan, and left.
On the way, Luo Ziling said to Yang Qingyin directly, “Co to your place tonight, I will stay with you.”
Yang Qingyin instinctively wanted to refuse, but after eting Luo Ziling’s determined eyes, she finally nodded and agreed.
After the two returned to where they were staying, Yang Qingyin went straight to take a shower.
Luo Ziling also took a quick shower in another room, and then the two of them lay in the sa bed wearing pajamas.
They hugged and kissed naturally, but when Luo Ziling wanted to go further, he was stopped by Yang Qingyin.
Yang Qingyin held Luo Ziling tight, “Just hold and sleep tonight, don’t tempt , okay?”
Luo Ziling’s passion was instantly extinguished by Yang Qingyin’s composure.
“Alright,” Luo Ziling eventually agreed.
“After winter break, before I go to Arica, where do you plan to take for fun?” Yang Qingyin initiated the conversation.
“To Qiantang, Yuezhou?” Luo Ziling replied subconsciously.
“Then you better make a plan, and you can’t let anyone know, including your mom,” Yang Qingyin gave Luo Ziling a radiant smile.
Luo Ziling’s gloominess was instantly swept away by Yang Qingyin’s smile, and he imdiately agreed, “Definitely!”
“I’m sleepy and pretty tired. Massage for a bit, let have a good night’s sleep!”
“No problem,” Luo Ziling imdiately started massaging.
“Where are you massaging!”
“These spots have important acupoints, and they can promote your secondary developnt. Pressing them more will be beneficial!”
“You rogue, libertine!”
“Since I’m already blad, I might as well be more of a rogue!”
“…”
