Chapter 845 - 845 845 Return to Yanjing

Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Return to Yanjing Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Return to Yanjing When Luo Ziling finished washing up and came out, Yang Qingyin’s expression had already returned to normal.

She didn’t mention the message she had just seen from Ouyang Huihui and was busy packing up her things.

Luo Ziling also started to pack up his things, and, after finishing, he picked up the phone that was left aside.

He lit up the screen and checked his phone, frowning when he saw the message from Ouyang Huihui.

After reading the content, he was a little angry.

After thinking for a while, he didn’t explain anything to Yang Qingyin. Instead, he said with a smile, “How about from now on, whenever I treat someone, you stay right by my side?”

Yang Qingyin was obviously waiting for an explanation from Luo Ziling, and instead of giving one, he came up with this line, to which she replied somewhat discontentedly, “Why should I follow you?”

“How about becoming my little apprentice?” Luo Ziling suggested with a smile, “The medical skills passed down in the Luo Family have reached many generations, but I haven’t taken any disciples yet. How about I take you, my beautiful little apprentice? If you’re willing to learn, I’ll waive the initiation procedures for you. You won’t have to perform the formal apprenticeship rites or pay any tuition fees. I can tell you, such benefits are yours alone to enjoy. By being my little apprentice, not only will you learn proficient medical skills, but you can also act as my bodyguard. It’d save me from being taken advantage of when I’m too exhausted from treating someone to fight back.”

Yang Qingyin knew that Luo Ziling was indirectly explaining himself, and she felt a little better.

“Hmph, I have no desire to be your little apprentice. If I wanted to learn, I would take your grandfather as my teacher. In that case, you’d have to call me ‘Shi Gu’ (Teacher Aunty). If I apprenticed under you, you would be my senior; but if I apprenticed under your grandfather, then I would be your senior, and that is an entirely different level,” she said, feeling slightly smug at the thought. “If I meet your grandfather, I’ll raise this request with him. Being your ‘Shi Gu’ is actually not a bad option. Even if I’m not interested in medicine, I could still learn other skills from your grandfather.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling suddenly felt a bit sullen, “seeing as you don’t think much of my skills, let’s pretend I never said anything.”

Seeing Luo Ziling not elaborating on the message from Ouyang Huihui, Yang Qingyin felt a bit conflicted internally, but she didn’t dwell on it too much. She simply became a little colder towards Luo Ziling in her speech, her tone tinged with a hint of jealousy.

“You’re in such a hurry to get back to Yanjing, I bet it has something to do with a beauty’s summons, right?”

“Of course,” Luo Ziling admitted without thinking, “if my mom calls for me, of course, I have to hurry back. My mom is a great beauty, you wouldn’t deny that, would you?”

Yang Qingyin rolled her eyes, a bit huffy.

Thinking about the recent message, Luo Ziling began to understand why Yang Qingyin suddenly seemed a bit jealous and thus smiled, offering an explanation, “Just now, Ouyang Huihui sent a message, ranting some nonsense. Do you want to see it?”

“I certainly do not! I’m not interested in seeing you flirt with each other,” Yang Qingyin retorted with disdain.

“Next time I treat her and her sister, you’d better stick by my side to prevent them from taking advantage. Perhaps you don’t know, when one is physically drained, it’s easy to feel sleepy and want to doze off. Hmm, and since I’m so handsome and strong, it’s quite normal for women to want to take advantage of me. You’d better watch over and prevent any accidents,” he said.

“Not interested,” Yang Qingyin felt a little less gloomy after hearing Luo Ziling say that.

Wisely not dwelling on it any longer, she urged Luo Ziling to speed up so they wouldn’t miss the high-speed train. By the time they arrived at the train station and were waiting to board, Yang Qingyin, who had been upset by Ouyang Huihui’s message, was almost back to her usual self from when she woke up.

She chatted and joked with Luo Ziling, her face beaming with a bright smile.

Seeing Yang Qingyin’s smiling face, Luo Ziling let out a small sigh of relief.

In the past, he thought Yang Qingyin was quite petty about romantic matters, and now he truly felt it.

What kind of jealousy would she show if she knew about the ambiguity between him and Lin Lan, and the things that had happened when he was with Ouyang Feifei?

Luo Ziling felt a bit daunted by the thought.

The two and a bit hours’ journey from Lucheng to Yanjing passed quickly because they were traveling together.

When they arrived at Yanjing Station, it was precisely eleven o’clock at noon.

At the station, Yang Qingyin bade farewell to Luo Ziling, urging him to go directly to Ling Ruonan and not bother seeing her off.

Checking the time and finding it suitable, Luo Ziling finally didn’t turn down Yang Qingyin’s request and allowed her and Ye Xiaoli to leave together.

Yang Xiaodong, who had returned to Yanjing earlier, came to pick up Luo Ziling by car, took him to school to drop off his luggage and retrieve the treatment tools, and then drove him to Ling Ruonan’s place.

While having some fruit with Luo Ziling, Ling Ruonan spoke about some health-related matters concerning Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui.

Ling Ruonan also enquired about what Luo Ziling had been busy with these past days, but Luo Ziling did not share the events of the last couple of days with Ling Ruonan.

He didn’t want anyone, including Ling Ruonan and Yang Qingye, to know about the dispute he had with Yang Qingyin this time.

After lunch, Ling Ruonan led Luo Ziling towards the Ling Family Old Mansion, planning to first treat Ling Jinhua and then head to Ling Mingrui’s place. Ling Mingrui had been away on a visit and had just returned yesterday; his visit and return were on the TV news, but it had escaped Luo Ziling’s attention.

During the treatment for Ling Jinhua, Luo Ziling was very committed and, after conducting an examination before the treatment, he confidently informed Ling Ruonan and Ling Jinhua that the old gentleman’s health had improved significantly from before. As long as he took good care of himself, didn’t eat anything harmful, didn’t catch a chill, and had no other disease triggers, Ling Jinhua would be in very good shape this winter.

Ling Jinhua was feeling much better recently and believed what Luo Ziling said, so in front of Ling Ruonan, he expressed his gratitude to Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling replied with a smile, “Actually, I don’t need Great Grandfather’s thanks; I just hope Great Grandfather can allow our family to be reunited.”

“I’ve never stopped your family from being united; it’s not this old man who’s preventing it,” Ling Jinhua replied profoundly.

Hearing Ling Jinhua say this, Ling Ruonan gave Luo Ziling a knowing look.

Seeing Ling Ruonan’s signal, Luo Ziling chose not to dwell on the matter any further.

After leaving Ling Jinhua’s residence, Luo Ziling followed Ling Ruonan directly to Ling Mingrui’s separate house.

On the way, Ling Ruonan whispered to Luo Ziling, “Your Great Grandfather’s attitude has changed, perhaps related to your grandfather’s return. When we get back home, let’s talk more about this.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling agreed readily.

Ling Mingrui’s animosity towards Luo Ziling had not faded, and he didn’t show a pleasant face upon seeing them.

After listening to a few words of courtesy from Ling Ruonan, with a cold face, he directly asked Luo Ziling to enter the study to speak with him.

“Don’t talk back; just be a little agreeable with your grandfather; otherwise, relations will become even more strained,” Ling Ruonan advised Luo Ziling in a low voice.

“Okay,” Luo Ziling knew that Ling Mingrui had something quite important to discuss with him today, so he agreed.
