Chapter 765 - 765 765 Is There an Ulterior Motive

Chapter 765: Chapter 765: Is There an Ulterior Motive? Chapter 765: Chapter 765: Is There an Ulterior Motive? “Senior sister, what’s wrong? Your complexion changed dramatically after using the restroom,” Luo Ziling couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw Luo Yuqing come out of the bathroom without her radiant smile from before. “Could it be…”

Could it be what? He was too embarrassed to ask, thinking Luo Yuqing was feeling unwell due to some physiological reason.

“It’s nothing,” Luo Yuqing laughed, “I just went in to look in the mirror and found that even though I prided myself on being pretty, I still wasn’t as attractive as you, a man dressed as a woman. It was quite a blow.”

“Hehe, surely that’s not necessary?” Luo Ziling said as he also stood up, “Sigh, dressing as a woman really is uncomfortable. I should change back into men’s clothing. Luckily, I brought a change with me.”

The trench coat Luo Ziling was wearing was quite unisex, so if he changed his face back to that of a man and switched out the red sweater inside, he would look like a man.

Now that the novelty of being a woman had worn off, he didn’t want to continue appearing as a girl, so he wanted to change back.

“Go ahead, change,” Luo Yuqing wasn’t too concerned and, needing a moment to calm her emotions, did not refuse Luo Ziling’s request.

Luo Ziling immediately got up and went into the bathroom.

About half an hour later, he came out, having exchanged the red sweater for a brown one he had brought with him. He had removed the wig and all the makeup from his face.

After coming out of the bathroom, the former beauty had transformed back into a handsome man.

“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I really would find it hard to believe,” Luo Yuqing, who had mostly adjusted her mood by then, looked at Luo Ziling with a brilliant smile: “You’ve changed so much, it’s amazing. The skills you possess are truly many. How can I put it? I’m in awe of you. A guy with such looks and talents like you is probably one of a kind at Yan University.”

“Haha, receiving such praise from a beauty—and to my face at that—I’m feeling a bit carried away,” Luo Ziling said in an exaggerated tone: “Why don’t you compliment me some more, make me even happier.”

“I can hardly stand you,” laughed Luo Yuqing, almost shaking with laughter.

At that moment, Luo Yuqing’s phone rang with a WeChat notification sound, but she just glanced at it and didn’t pay any attention to it.

“Junior brother, if your girlfriend finds out we’re having coffee together, do you think she’ll come charging over?” Luo Yuqing playfully asked Luo Ziling: “Yang Qingyin is even more formidable than me, she outshines me in every aspect.”

“I said I would be your bodyguard tonight,” Luo Ziling didn’t want to discuss Yang Qingyin with Luo Yuqing, so he quickly changed the subject: “Senior sister, I’m very curious, how did you become the president of the student council? You’re only a sophomore and a girl at that, it must have been difficult, right?”

Luo Ziling had always been puzzled by this question. He was aware of Luo Yuqing’s abilities, but without a certain background, she wouldn’t have had such an opportunity.

One thing Luo Ziling could be sure of was that Luo Yuqing’s family background was extraordinary. To what extent, Luo Ziling did not know, and he hadn’t had anyone investigate. He hadn’t thought to dig deeper before, but now that it crossed his mind, he decided to ask Luo Yuqing directly.

“I’ve been a student leader from elementary school through high school, and I had very good examination results. So in my first year, I was selected for the student council, and my mother is good friends with the principal, which led to my quick promotion to vice president. After the former president graduated, I was elected president,” Luo Yuqing understood what Luo Ziling was getting at, but she didn’t fully explain, and asked with a meaningful tone, “Do you suspect there’s some kind of scandal or hidden rules involved?”

“No, I was just curious!” Luo Ziling shook his head.

Just as he was about to say something more, Luo Yuqing’s mobile phone rang again, this time with an actual call.

Luo Yuqing hesitated for a moment, then said apologetically to Luo Ziling, “Excuse me, I need to take this call!”

“Alright, I’ll go ask the waitstaff to bring some desserts. You take your call.” Luo Ziling said as he got up from his seat, pushed open the door, and called over a waiter to order some tasty desserts.

As he stepped out of the private room, Luo Ziling heard Luo Yuqing answer the phone and greet the caller with “Mr. Ling”.

Although he didn’t want to pry into Luo Yuqing’s privacy, Luo Yuqing’s reference to “Mr. Ling” still made him a bit alert.

Who could be surnamed Ling and referred to as “Mr. Ling” by Luo Yuqing?

By the time he had finished giving instructions to the waiter and returned to the private room, Luo Yuqing had already finished her phone call.

“Do you have to go somewhere?” Luo Ziling asked curiously.

“It’s nothing important; someone asked me out for tea, but I declined.”

Luo Ziling half-jokingly said, “We’ve ordered some dim sum, let’s eat and then head back. If you have an appointment, you can still make it in time.”

“It’s fine,” Luo Yuqing shook her head and quickly explained, “Just a friend I don’t see often invited me for tea. I ignored him.”

However, Luo Ziling still proposed ending the late-night snack early, saying he needed to go back to rest.

Although Luo Yuqing was a bit downcast, she didn’t make any demands and got up promptly to settle the bill.

After leaving the café, they walked back to the university together and said their goodbyes at the school gate.

After Luo Ziling melted into the darkness, he observed Luo Yuqing for a while longer.

Seeing Luo Yuqing make a phone call and then leave the school to hail a taxi, Luo Ziling immediately instructed Yang Xiaodong, who was with him, to follow Luo Yuqing and see who she was meeting.

Luo Ziling believed that Luo Yuqing going out so late must surely be to meet the person she had called earlier.

He wasn’t trying to snoop on Luo Yuqing’s privacy but was interested in that “Mr. Ling,” which is why he asked Yang Xiaodong to follow her and investigate.

After returning to his dormitory and taking a shower, Luo Ziling messed around with his roommates for a while, and then he received a call from Yang Xiaodong.

“The goddess who was supposed to meet you ended up going for tea with Ling Haining. Are you going to be jealous?” Yang Xiaodong teased on the phone, “But from the looks of it, Ling Haining doesn’t seem to have a chance with Luo Yuqing.”

“Can you eavesdrop on their conversation?”

“That’s not easy, because there are bodyguards outside the private room they’re in. Young master, I don’t think it’s necessary, you know. Even if Ling Haining wants to pursue this woman, you can easily outcompete Ling Haining,” Yang Xiaodong said with a chuckle, but fearing Luo Ziling would scold him for the playful talk, he then seriously suggested, “I’ll mess with Ling Haining a bit later, let him taste some bitterness.”

“Alright!” Luo Ziling didn’t say much else and hung up the phone.

But inside, he felt a bit gloomy.

Even though he had not considered pursuing Luo Yuqing, the fact that she met with Ling Haining after having coffee with him still irked him.

He even suspected that Luo Yuqing approached him because of Ling Haining’s instruction.

She had an ulterior motive.
