Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Maybe I’m Pretending to Be High and Mighty
Luo Ziling, accompanied by Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun, left the compound and instructed them, “You guys go and rest for today, it’s been a long and tiring journey. There shouldn’t be any danger today, and I need to go eat so midnight snacks.”
“We want to eat midnight snacks too, join you!” Yang Xiaodong said with a chuckle, “Fighting today felt really satisfying, we definitely need to have a drink to celebrate.”
“Yes, we must have a drink,” laughed Wang Zhenjun, “The Boss’s son is sothing else, able to withstand our combined attack, you know, even the Boss can only barely beat us. We need to properly drink to our fight just now.”
Luo Ziling was torn between laughter and tears, and quickly explained, “I’ve made plans to have midnight snacks with a female classmate, it’s not convenient for you to go.”
From the brief exchange earlier, Luo Ziling could tell that jointly, these two n were stronger than the team of Falcon and Mountain Eagle, of course, referring to their combat skills, other aspects he couldn’t judge. These two guys had a temperant sowhat like Falcon’s, not pretending to be cool on purpose, Luo Ziling felt that they would also beco friends if they hung out together. He had a good feeling about these two guys and thought that he could be friends with them, so he directly told them that he was going on a date afterwards.
Once Luo Ziling said that, Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun imdiately understood what was going on, and a gossipy look appeared on their faces at the sa ti.
“She must be a really pretty classmate, right?” Yang Xiaodong asked with a smarmy face.
Wang Zhenjun also added, “You won’t let us et her? I think it would be better if we could get familiar with each other.”
If it weren’t for what had just happened, Luo Ziling would definitely be suspicious of these two n’s identities, how could high-caliber soldier kings look like this? Even if they didn’t act cool, they shouldn’t be all smiles and jokes either, right?
“Forget it, just go and rest,” Luo Ziling still rejected the idea of them following along.
To Luo Ziling’s surprise, these two guys actually insisted on tagging along unabashedly.
“We didn’t even have dinner, and just had a tiring fight with you, plus we need to act as your bodyguards next, if you don’t treat us to so midnight snacks, that would be too unfair,” said Yang Xiaodong with a hehe, looking like he had no money in his pocket and nowhere to eat.
“We won’t bother you and your girlfriend’s date, we know how to be discrete,” Wang Zhenjun shalessly added with a smile.
Luo Ziling was speechless, he couldn’t understand why his father would send such two treasures to help them.
Just now, he had heard Wang Zhenjun calling Yang Xiaodong ‘Captain’; how could soone who had been a captain act like this?
In the end, Luo Ziling, with no other choice, still ended up bringing the two along.
However, he didn’t let them follow him up to the tea house; instead, he arranged for them to eat midnight snacks elsewhere.
The two were initially hoping to tag along with Luo Ziling to get acquainted, claiming it would help recognize Luo Ziling’s friends and not mistake them for enemies in the future, but this ti Luo Ziling bluntly refused. He told them to eat outside, and to order whatever they wanted, assuring he would co to settle the bill later.
Only then did they stop fussing and obediently went nearby to eat barbecue.
When Luo Ziling entered the tea house and arrived at the private room where Yang Qingyin was, he was already an hour behind the scheduled ti.
“You’re here?” Seeing him co in, Yang Qingyin didn’t show any signs of displeasure, which relieved Luo Ziling.
But he still imdiately apologized and allowed Yang Qingyin to punish him.
“What happened?” Yang Qingyin didn’t bla him for anything, just asked curiously.
“Ran into two people who attacked on the road,” Luo Ziling said with a bitter smile as he sat down, “had a fight.”
“No way?” Yang Qingyin was startled and asked anxiously, “So how are you now? Are you hurt?”
“Guess who attacked ?” Luo Ziling asked while drinking tea, “If you guess right, there’s a reward.”
Yang Qingyin’s concern ward his heart.
“Could it be those few families from Yanjing?” After articulating her suspicion, Yang Qingyin seed to co to a realization and quickly added, “Or was it one of your friends? Just joking with you?”
“You actually guessed right,” Luo Ziling said, smiling bitterly, “The people assigned to protect wanted to test my combat skills, so they stopped halfway and fought with without a word, making think soone was trying to take out again.”
“So that’s how it is,” Yang Qingyin thought it was arranged by Ling Ruonan, so she didn’t ask further, just giggled and said, “That’s great, from now on when you go out with two bodyguards, how impressive. Anyway, more impressive than , all I have is a Xiaoli by my side!”
“They even wanted to follow here, saying they wanted to see which beauty I was dating. In the end, I had no choice but to send them off to have a late-night snack nearby.” Luo Ziling said this with a bitter smile on his face.
“If they’re always with you, I really need to get to know them, to avoid being seen as soone with bad intentions. Getting beaten up by them would be awful,” Yang Qingyin said with a laugh, “Just hope they don’t think I’m too ugly!”
“Haha, unless they are blind,” Luo Ziling said, quickly changing the subject, “Tonight, I went to treat Old Mr. Ling again. Unexpectedly, he didn’t mind the commotion I caused last night. I’m really curious.”
“Could the old man really be that magnanimous?” Yang Qingyin appeared very surprised.
“Sir Ling probably wants to use to cure his illness and hopes I can serve as a whetstone for the Ling Family. Besides that, I feel like there might be other motives; we just haven’t fully figured out if there are any other reasons,” Luo Ziling said with a bitter smile.
Yang Qingyin asked again, “Did he make any promises to you? What kind of reward is he willing to offer?”
“I don’t need any reward from him,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “I only insisted that he has to let our family be reunited.”
“Nothing else?” Yang Qingyin was even more surprised.
“Nothing else.” Luo Ziling shook his head again, “I don’t want to ask.”
“You really are too kind,” Yang Qingyin’s eyes widened, “Sir Ling is using you as a tool, as a pawn, and you don’t even demand anything in return?”
Luo Ziling laughed, “Maybe I’m just pretending to be noble, or perhaps I should make so demands the next ti I treat him?”
Yang Qingyin cocked her head in disdain, “I know you’re too proud to ask for anything more. Okay, I won’t persuade you anymore, but I just hope you’ll be careful in everything and not get played by those bastards.”
After a pause, she added, “And so of the bastards from our own family too!”
“…”
