Chapter 715: Chapter 715: I Didnât Encourage
Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin left in Ye Xiaoliâs car after leaving the âGuoying National Medical Hall,â and immediately found a place to eat.
They hadnât had dinner when they arrived.
At the time, they thought that if they followed Wu Hongwei and Wang Tongshan to exchange medical expertise with others, the hosts would surely treat them to dinner.
Unexpectedly, the series of events that unfolded after their arrival turned out to be so dramatic that dinner fell through in the end.
Luo Ziling, who has an astonishing appetite, would definitely be hungry two hours after a meal. When they left the Guoying National Medical Hall, it was around seven oâclock in the evening, and he was already so hungry that his stomach was stuck to his back, so he immediately went to have dinner with Yang Qingyin.
âSenior, I performed pretty well today, didnât I? Shouldnât you treat me to a big meal to celebrate?â Luo Ziling directly asked Yang Qingyin to treat him as soon as they got in the car, âHehe, actually, just for doing your makeup today, you should treat me to a feast.â
Yang Qingyin was also in a good mood, and she readily agreed to Luo Zilingâs request upon hearing it.
So, Yang Qingyin asked Ye Xiaoli to drive to a nearby seafood restaurant for dinner.
On the way, Luo Ziling received a call from Wang Tongshan, and after hearing the situation from Wang, he immediately called Yang Xiaodong and asked him to take what he wanted from the âGuoying National Medical Hall.â
When Luo Ziling arrived at the dining place with Yang Qingyin and had just sat down in the private room, Yang Xiaodong called to say that he had brought over that bronze figure and a brand-new sports car.
Luo Ziling asked Yang Xiaodong to drive the car to where they were having dinner, as he wanted to proudly show off his spoils of war to Yang Qingyin.
By the time they had ordered the dishes, Yang Xiaodong had already arrived at the restaurant in the flashy sports car.
Luo Ziling wasnât really interested in the sports car; his treasure was the Divine Bronze Figures of Acupuncture.
Upon seeing the acupuncture bronze man lying on the passenger seat of the sports car, Luo Ziling couldnât help but laugh proudly, âI never expected that a trip out with the two teachers today would land me such a great item. I really hope to have more opportunities to compete in medical skills with these self-righteous people.â
Then, turning to Yang Qingyin with a mysterious air, and to the curious Yang Xiaodong and Ye Xiaoli, he asked, âMy spoils tonight are pretty rich. Guess how much theyâre worth?â
âThe sports car is worth about 1.8 million, and I donât know the value of this battered bronze figure,â Yang Xiaodong said candidly, âMaybe itâs worth hundreds of thousands? In that case, youâve made over two million in one evening, which is indeed quite a haul. However, the car isnât registered, and the purchase tax probably hasnât been paid. If you want to register it, youâll have to shell out over two hundred thousand yourself, which means the value of the bronze figure is gone, and youâve just netted a sports car. My friend, you better learn to drive soon, and when you take your girlfriend out, driving this sports car will be quite impressive.â
Luo Ziling listened and suddenly became very angry, kicking Yang Xiaodong in the butt, and as Yang Xiaodong looked at him aggrieved, holding his butt, Luo Ziling said angrily, âIf you donât know what youâre talking about, then donât spout nonsense. The value of this bronze figure is at least several times that of the sports car.â
âWow, itâs actually that valuable,â Yang Xiaodong was immediately stunned, âThank goodness I didnât damage it on the road, otherwise I would have committed a grave sin.â
âSenior, maybe I should leave it at your place for now; I have no place for it,â Luo Ziling ignored Yang Xiaodongâs exaggerated expression and turned to Yang Qingyin, âMay I borrow some space temporarily?â
âOf course you can,â Yang Qingyin glanced at Luo Ziling and chuckled, âCan I borrow your sports car for a ride later?â
âYou can drive?â Luo Ziling seemed very surprised.
âYou underestimate people,â Yang Qingyin glared at Luo Ziling discontentedly, âI got my driverâs license three years ago, and I drive frequently.â
âHow come Iâve never seen you drive?â Luo Ziling said despondently, âI thought you couldnât drive. It looks like you have one more skill than I do.â
âJust because you havenât seen it doesnât mean I canât,â Yang Qingyin said as she took Luo Zilingâs arm, âCome on, letâs go back for dinner.â
âSo, what about us?â Seeing Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling walking towards the seafood restaurant in an intimate manner and ignoring them, Yang Xiaodong became anxious, âDull Bird, that idiot, is going to arrive soon too.â
âFind a private room and eat on your own. Iâll come to settle the bill later,â Cao Yue said without turning his head, âJust donât bankrupt me with your eating.â
âFine,â Yang Xiaodong agreed readily, then added a bit resentfully, âDull Bird has his eyes on this ice-faced beauty. Looks like Iâm going to be the third wheel.â
Hearing Yang Xiaodong put it that way, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin both stopped in their tracks, looking at Yang Xiaodong and the annoyed Ye Xiaoli behind them in surprise. âHeh, sounds like a good thing,â Luo Ziling chuckled in response, pulling Yang Qingyin away before she had a chance to speak.
When Yang Qingyin was dragged back to the private room by Luo Ziling, the dishes they had ordered were already served, but Yang Qingyin didnât start eating right away. Instead, she looked at Luo Ziling with an amused expression, âYou arenât encouraging your bodyguard to chase after mine, are you?â
âI didnât encourage him,â Luo Ziling shook his head, âbut I think Xiaoli getting together with either one of them would be a pretty good choice. Those two guys may talk a lot, but theyâre good people and capable. Theyâre certainly good enough for Ye Xiaoli, right?â
âHmph, I donât agree,â Yang Qingyin huffed, giving Luo Ziling a sideways glance, âNot only are you hitting on me, but you even dare to hit on my bodyguard. Youâre thinking too highly of yourself, arenât you?â
âIâm just letting them be themselves. If they happen to like each other, that would be great,â Luo Ziling rebutted discontentedly, âIâm not chasing after Xiaoli, whatâs with all your resentment?â
His words immediately set Yang Qingyin off. She grabbed Luo Zilingâs ear, âSo youâve also thought about pursuing Xiaoli? Is it because you think she has a good figure that youâve taken a fancy to her?â
Luo Ziling quickly freed his ear from Yang Qingyinâs clutches and replied irritably, âCould you not talk nonsense? I never thought about taking both of you, mistress and servant.â
These words, however, successfully enraged Yang Qingyin once again, and she pounced on him, giving Luo Ziling a harsh lesson until he struck a âNine Yin White Bone Clawâ on one of her sensitive spots and added a kiss, which finally dissolved her offensive.
After their little tussle, they sat down to eat.
While eating, the blushing Yang Qingyin asked Luo Ziling, âArenât you going to ask about Old Gu and Gu Changweiâs situation, or the origin of the name âGuoying National Medical Hallâ?â
âI knew youâd tell me, so I didnât ask,â Luo Ziling chuckled, âDear senior sister, your humble junior is all ears!â
However, Luo Zilingâs playful words earned him another Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Pinch from Yang Qingyin.
