Chapter 839 - 839 839 You Pursue Me Again

Chapter 839: Chapter 839: You Pursue Me Again Chapter 839: Chapter 839: You Pursue Me Again Waking up, he found it was Yang Qingyin pinching his arm.

Still groggy with sleep, he couldn’t quite grasp what was happening.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Ziling looked at Yang Qingyin with confusion.

“Don’t touch me,” Yang Qingyin huffed, “I don’t want the hands that just touched another woman on me.”

“I haven’t touched you, I was just holding your pajamas,” Luo Ziling, realizing his hand wasn’t on any sensitive areas on Yang Qingyin, explained confidently.

“Keep away from me,” Yang Qingyin pushed Luo Ziling away and scooted her body backwards.

Then wrapped herself up in the comforter, completely enclosing herself.

Luo Ziling didn’t mind and just lay there, facing Yang Qingyin.

He checked his phone and it was already half-past midnight.

When they went to bed, it was only around eight o’clock; they had actually slept for more than four hours.

“Hehe, it’s past midnight, it’s the next day already,” Luo Ziling laughed and tossed aside his phone, sitting up in bed, “Hungry? Do you want to go out for some late-night food, or should I heat up the leftovers we brought back?”

“I don’t want to go out,” Yang Qingyin refused Luo Ziling’s first suggestion but didn’t say much else.

“How about you freshen up a bit, and I’ll go down and buy some fruit,” Luo Ziling proposed, “Then see if there’s anything hot to make you some warm food for your stomach.”

“I don’t want it,” Yang Qingyin shook her head in refusal.

“Okay, then I’ll heat up the packed food,” Luo Ziling took the leftovers out to the microwave in the living area.

The high-end suite was quite different from a standard room in terms of amenities. Upon entering, Luo Ziling had noticed the microwave, which was why he had thought to bring the food back in the first place.

Soon, the tantalizing smell of the food wafted through the room, and Yang Qingyin, feeling very hungry after waking up, couldn’t help but swallow saliva.

With another “ding” from the microwave, Luo Ziling brought the several now-hot dishes and rice into the room.

“Senior, let me feed you,” Luo Ziling came over to help Yang Qingyin, “I’ll take good care of you today to avoid you staying angry.”

“Trying to placate me is useless, I’ll keep being angry,” Yang Qingyin pouted prettily, “I won’t forgive you just like that.”

“Then what will it take for you to forgive me?”

“Certainly, I won’t forgive you today,” Luo Ziling snorted lightly before adding, “Let me finish my meal, then we can discuss something.”

“What is it?”

“I’ll tell you after I’ve filled my stomach!” Yang Qingyin said, getting off the bed, draping on a trench coat, and sitting down at the table to eat.

Luo Ziling had no choice but to accompany her, sitting at the table, watching her eat.

Yang Qingyin was indeed hungry. Initially, she had been very angry and sad, compounded by a severe lack of sleep, she felt utterly drained. Therefore, she had no appetite. Now that she somewhat understood the situation, although she still harbored some reservations, her mood had improved, and so had her appetite.

To Luo Ziling’s surprise, she finished all the food he had brought back, and most of the dishes as well.

The remaining food was polished off by Luo Ziling, and soon they had finished everything he brought back.

After the late-night snack, Luo Ziling thoughtfully poured Yang Qingyin a cup of hot tea to moisten her throat.

Luo Ziling’s considerate behavior made Yang Qingyin feel even better.

“Let’s pretend we’ve just met,” Yang Qingyin said straightforwardly, looking at Luo Ziling, “Would you like that?”

“What do you mean?” Luo Ziling was utterly confused.

Yang Qingyin didn’t explain but countered, “Does our relationship count as boyfriend and girlfriend?”

“Do you think it doesn’t?”

“I’m asking you, answer honestly,” Yang Qingyin said, glaring at Luo Ziling with a bit of annoyance.

“Of course it does.”

“But you’ve never courted me, and I’ve never agreed to be your girlfriend.”

Luo Ziling grinned, “Isn’t it better that it’s natural?”

“It’s not good, there’s no sense of security,” Yang Qingyin shook her head, “Don’t think that just because you’ve explained everything, I’ll forgive you. Humph, I won’t forgive you, nor will I be your girlfriend, unless you start pursuing me again, until I personally agree to be your girlfriend. It would be too cheap to let you trick me into it haphazardly.”

Luo Ziling couldn’t help but give a wry smile, “Okay, but I still hope you can make your intentions clear.”

“Let’s start as if we’ve just met. You want to pursue me, but I haven’t agreed yet. I’ll decide based on your performance.” Upon saying this, Yang Qingyin finally revealed a smile, “If you’re not interested in pursuing me, that’s up to you. Anyway, I’m not worried about not being pursued by anyone.”

“That’s absolutely fine, but don’t you think it’s a bit off? Before this, we got along so well, many things didn’t need to be said.” Luo Ziling felt a bit dejected inside.

“Things that seem too perfect often aren’t real,” Yang Qingyin said earnestly, “Yesterday’s incident was a wake-up call for me. Of course, you can give up on pursuing me. After all, both Ouyang Feifei and Ouyang Huihui are stunning beauties, more voluptuous and pretty than me, and their ancestors have been friends with your family for generations. You can also pursue other beautiful women, as long as you want, I have no complaints. That’s all I have to say. Mr. Luo, perhaps you can find some other place to sleep?”

“Alright then, goodnight,” Luo Ziling sighed, stood up, and his expression seemed much more downcast than before, “Since Xiaoli definitely won’t be back to sleep tonight, I might as well sleep in her room.”

As he spoke, Luo Ziling got up, ready to leave the room.

When he reached the door, he stopped, turned back, and spoke to Yang Qingyin seriously, “Actually, I’m drained today too. I’ve never interacted with girls before, so I don’t know how to cheer a girl up, and I have zero experience with this kind of thing, so I can only try my best to make amends. If you think my actions today were still wrong, then I really don’t know what else to do. Of course, if you feel insecure, then… maybe we both need to cool down, give each other some space to reflect on ourselves, and perhaps… it might be a good idea. I’ll be sleeping next door, and I’ll head back to the Capital early tomorrow. If you want to enjoy Lucheng a bit longer, Xiaoli can keep you company. I need to find Ouyang Huihui and get to the bottom of this matter; I won’t be at ease until everything is clear. Good night!”

Without waiting for Yang Qingyin’s response, Luo Ziling closed the door behind him and left.

Yang Qingyin was startled by Luo Ziling’s words, and as she seriously considered the meaning behind them, she felt a surge of irritation. “You insufferable man, tired of comforting me after just a short while? Hmph, go back if you want, who needs your company? Annoying guy, you’re driving me crazy.”
