Chapter 787: Chapter 787: The Feeling Changed Chapter 787: Chapter 787: The Feeling Changed Uh-oh, I set the update time wrong again, so two chapters were released together.

————————

Luo Ziling waited for Yang Qingyin about a kilometer away from the Yang Family Old House.

He definitely needed to explain today’s events to Yang Qingyin, otherwise she would surely misunderstand.

Therefore, once he left the heavily guarded area and reached the main street, he sent a message to Yang Qingyin, asking her to contact him after she left the old house because he had something to say to her.

Yang Qingyin didn’t refuse and immediately went to meet with Luo Ziling.

When she saw Luo Ziling, he was on a call.

Yang Qingyin could tell that Luo Ziling was talking to Ling Ruonan.

Upon seeing Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling didn’t talk much with Ling Ruonan on the other end of the line and said goodbye before hanging up.

“Senior sister, I know you must be very angry and dissatisfied,” Luo Ziling approached with a chuckle, grabbing Yang Qingyin’s hand, “If you’re mad at me, hurry up and scold me or beat me up to vent your anger. Or, how about using your Unique Yang Family Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Pinch to take some fierce revenge?”

Yang Qingyin was almost amused by Luo Ziling’s shamelessness but ended up just giving him a sideways glance, saying with annoyance, “Of course I’m furious today, I really wanted to stab you to death. After all, they are my grandfather and father, and you treated them like that, not taking them or me seriously at all. Tell me, how am I supposed to face them now? I’ve lost even the courage to face them.”

“I had my reasons for what I did today, and I did it on purpose,” Luo Ziling stopped smiling and answered solemnly, “How about we find a place to have some tea, and I’ll explain it to you slowly?”

Yang Qingyin thought about it and ultimately didn’t have the heart to refuse Luo Ziling, agreeing to go with him to have tea.

At that moment, Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun emerged from a corner.

Yang Xiaodong walked up to Luo Ziling, sized him up, and then curiously asked, “Comrade young master, you went into a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair and came out unscathed, we truly admire you!”

Wang Zhenjun also said, “We were wondering what methods to use to rescue you. Comrade young master, you can’t do that again, you absolutely must not go off with dangerous people, or it would be our dereliction of duty. Do you realize, if the boss found out about this, we’d be screwed?”

“We’re doomed anyway,” Yang Xiaodong said with a gloomy face, “Better brace for punishment!”

Seeing the two clowns like this, Luo Ziling felt much better, “You guys better start mulling over how to accept your punishment with what kind of attitude and mood, don’t ask me, I can’t relate to your feelings.”

Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun immediately wailed in misery and eventually slunk away from Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin.

Seeing the two men looking so comical, Yang Qingyin’s mood improved slightly, but she was still sulking with Luo Ziling and refused to engage in any intimate gestures with him.

The two found a quiet teahouse near the front gate and took a small private room.

As soon as they entered the room, Luo Ziling hurriedly explained, “Actually, when I arrived at the old house, I saw the message from my mom. She said she would go to the Ling Family Old Mansion, asking Great Grandfather to come out and save me.”

Hearing Luo Ziling put it that way, Yang Qingyin seemed to understand something but did not ask further, choosing instead to listen quietly to him.

“My dad dragged me to the Yang Family Old House for a lecturing, and I might even have been punished. If the Ling Family were unaware of this matter, they might have chosen to ignore it and left me to the Yang Family’s punishment. But if they knew, especially after my mom pleaded with the elder for help, then the meaning was entirely different. If the Yang Family wanted to harm me after that, it would mean starting a dispute with the Ling Family.”

Yang Qingyin already understood most of his intention by then and said with some irritation, “So, you just wanted to escalate the situation a bit, preferably causing a conflict between the Yang and Ling families. That way, you wouldn’t get hurt by the Yang Family and might even benefit from it?”

“Sis, you’re too smart, just like a worm in my stomach,” Luo Ziling gave Yang Qingyin a thumbs-up, “It looks like your IQ is far higher than mine.”

“You insulted my grandfather, my father today, and now you’re insulting me,” Yang Qingyin lashed out at Luo Ziling in anger and embarrassment, kicking and hitting, “Comparing me to a disgusting worm and sarcastically degrading my intelligence. I’m going to fight you.”

However, Yang Qingyin’s punches were quickly subdued by Luo Ziling, who ended up embracing her in his arms.

Regardless of Yang Qingyin’s fierce resistance, Luo Ziling forcefully kissed her a few times before finally releasing her. Before she could get angry, he continued, “Meeting your grandfather and father, I had to stand out somehow, didn’t I? I know that most people would hardly stand straight before them, and if I had been like that, they would certainly have looked down on me. I think, after today, my status in the eyes of your grandfather and father must have risen significantly. They will no longer consider me insignificant.”

“You’re so scheming, using the strife between the Yang and Ling families to weave multiple layers of protection for yourself and shamelessly ridiculed my elders through this connection… I’m really seeing you in a new light,” Yang Qingyin was still somewhat angry, dissatisfiedly speaking, “Why didn’t you consider giving me some face? Have you ever thought, what if I behaved aggressively when I met your mom or grandfather? How would they see me, how would you see me?”

“I was just trying to protect myself,” Luo Ziling scratched his head sheepishly, “Having walked into a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair, I would have been in big trouble today if I hadn’t acted that way.”

Before Yang Qingyin could say anything, Luo Ziling added, “Alright, I apologize for today’s incident, and I will also apologize to your grandfather and father when I have the chance. I think they definitely understand why I did it today, otherwise, they wouldn’t have let me go easily. I guess if I had been held by your grandfather and father for another half hour, Great Grandfather’s call would have already reached your grandfather. If Great Grandfather had intervened, the nature of the situation would have been completely different.”

After thinking it over, Yang Qingyin found herself agreeing with Luo Ziling’s reasoning.

Yet, she couldn’t entirely let go of her feelings. She really couldn’t stand Luo Ziling’s aggressive behavior towards her elders today.

Even though she knew that Luo Ziling was the weaker party today and had acted that way out of necessity—had her grandfather and father not treated Luo Ziling that way upon entering the old house, Luo Ziling would not have retaliated—she still felt uncomfortable inside.

Both Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin felt that, due to the day’s events, their relationship had been tainted, leaving an uncomfortable feeling in each other’s hearts. This feeling made both Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin quite depressed.
