Chapter 1008 - 1008 1008 Lets Form an Alliance

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008 Let’s Form an Alliance Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008 Let’s Form an Alliance After a hearty meal at a nearby seafood restaurant, Wang Guomin, Cao Jianhui, and others headed back to school. They were quite smart and knew that Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing wanted some alone time. Thus, they wisely chose to leave and not disturb their romantic exchange.

When Luo Yuqing heard Cao Jianhui loudly saying they shouldn’t disturb their romantic time, she blushed and said to Luo Ziling, “Are we really going to talk about love this afternoon?”

“Senior, spring hasn’t even arrived yet!” Luo Ziling joked.

As a result, Luo Yuqing pinched his face.

After pinching Luo Ziling’s cheek with her slender fingers, Luo Yuqing gave him a coquettish smile and said, “Junior, your cheeks are so tender, even more comfortable to pinch than my own. Do you have a secret to keeping them so? Could you share it with me?”

Luo Ziling slapped away the mischievous hand of Luo Yuqing and said with a mix of laughter and helplessness, “Senior, there are people coming and going and everyone’s watching.”

“So what if I tease you a bit?” Luo Yuqing pouted playfully. “If you were my younger brother, I could have bullied you like this since we were kids. Now, what’s wrong with bullying you and teasing you?”

“What if we’re not siblings?”

“If we’re not, I’ve said that I would take the initiative to pursue you,” Luo Yuqing said, bursting into laughter. “Chasing after you, teasing you a bit, there’s nothing wrong with that, right? A girl taking the lead, for a guy, what’s there to be shy about?”

Luo Ziling just stared at Luo Yuqing, speechless and unable to come up with a retort.

“Let’s go, let’s go have some tea,” Luo Yuqing said while linking arms with Luo Ziling, dragging him along. “I have a lot to talk to you about. Aren’t you curious about my performance today?”

“Curious,” Luo Ziling didn’t struggle and let Luo Yuqing link arms with him. “The more I think about it, the more complicated this matter seems. You have to explain it properly to me.”

And so, the two arrived at a nearby teahouse, got a private room, and prepared to talk.

“I’m aware of the relationship between Jin Tai and Chen Jiahu. Previously, because of this relationship, I was cautious. But after learning about your issues with the Chen Family, I let go of my concerns,” said Luo Yuqing, getting straight to the point. “I know you have been in constant conflict with the Chen Family and even outsmarted the Chen Brothers a few times, which is why I sought you as an ally.”

“You’re pulling me out to challenge the Chen Brothers? Using me as a pawn?”

“There was a bit of that idea, but you can’t be mad,” seeing Luo Ziling’s expression turn serious, Luo Yuqing giggled. “The Li Family can’t compare with the Chen Family, and many in the Li Family don’t treat me as their daughter, so my status is quite awkward. Wanting to fight against the Chen Brothers, I don’t have that power. But you do, so I wanted to get revenge on Jin Tai, and you’re the most suitable candidate for that. I consider you a closest friend, without exception. Whether we are siblings or not, it’s the same.”

Hearing Luo Yuqing say she was prepared to use him as a pawn did irritate Luo Ziling a bit, but after hearing what she said afterwards, any bit of irritation completely vanished.

“I won’t interrupt. You keep going until you’ve said everything you want to,” Luo Ziling actually quite liked Luo Yuqing’s straightforward and unpretentious character. Therefore, he still said to her with a smile, “Even if you want to plot against me, just say it outright.”

“I never thought about betraying you,” Luo Yuqing pursed her lips, “Jin Tai wanted to pursue me and even tried to drug me. No matter what, I have to get revenge. Actually, I don’t want to fight with others under the identity of the Li Family. Since my mother said what she did, I’ve considered myself a part of the Luo Family. I believe I’m your father’s daughter, otherwise, my mother wouldn’t have changed my surname to Luo. You’re my little brother, and of course, siblings should rely on each other. You have the upper hand in your fight with the Chen Brothers, so I have nothing to worry about. It just so happened that the Koreans wanted to challenge our traditional martial arts, so I brought you along, taking the opportunity to teach Jin Tai a lesson. I just didn’t expect Chen Jiahu to show up today and leave so soon.”

At this point, Luo Yuqing paused briefly and then revealed a radiant smile: “Seeing how scared he is of you, I think bringing you was a wise choice.”

Luo Ziling just listened quietly without interjecting.

Luo Yuqing took a sip of tea and continued: “Ziling, although I’m not exactly thrilled about us being siblings, knowing that it’s likely the truth—that we definitely share a blood relation—I don’t want to live relying on the Li Family anymore. I want to have my own career, my own efforts, and struggles. I want to work hard and strive with you, to create some achievements together. Would you like to help me, and work hard and strive together?”

As she asked this, Luo Yuqing was a bit nervous, afraid Luo Ziling would refuse.

However, Luo Ziling didn’t immediately express his position, but just watched Luo Yuqing quietly.

Luo Yuqing smiled brightly, also not speaking right away, but her eyes fearlessly met Luo Ziling’s, her gaze filled with defiance.

In fact, Luo Ziling had already guessed what was going on.

It was that Luo Yuqing had always hated Jin Tai. Not only because Jin Tai had tried to harm her, but also because he had wronged many other girls. Thus, the justice-driven Luo Yuqing really wanted to “carry out Heaven’s will” and deal with this bad guy.

However, out of concern for the Chen Family who backed Jin Tai, she dared not provoke a direct conflict and had been patient all along. That was until she met him and knew he was Ling Ruonan’s son, having the Ling Family to rely on, she then wanted to use his strength to severely teach Jin Tai a lesson, without fearing interference even from the Chen Brothers.

The reason she thought this way was that she saw him as a very close person, someone to rely on. After regarding him as such, she also wanted to work hard and strive together with him, to achieve something and make a mark.

Having understood all this, Luo Ziling no longer felt any annoyance towards Luo Yuqing.

Believing her to be open-hearted for being able to openly express such thoughts, Luo Ziling had faith in her.

Seeing that Luo Yuqing was silent, Luo Ziling said with a smile, “Senior sister, even if we are siblings, haven’t you heard the saying that a married daughter is like spilled water? After a daughter gets married, her heart goes to her husband’s family, and even her own parents and siblings become outsiders. Not to mention that we’ve only just met not too long ago, do you think with such a relationship, can there be complete trust between us?”

“I will completely trust you, and if you don’t trust me, I will be very saddened,” Luo Yuqing said earnestly with a touch of persistence. “Also, I’ve had unpleasant encounters with the Chen Brothers. They surely hate me since we dealt with them together last time, and they’d want to target me. I don’t want to rely on the Li Family’s power for protection; I hope to stand with you against the Chen Brothers. That’s also a reason why I brought you here today; I want us to be in the same trench.”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll distance myself from you for being too scheming?” Luo Ziling asked seriously.

“Not afraid. I am inherently scheming, and I usually don’t try to hide it. But I act with an open heart; otherwise, I wouldn’t share these thoughts with you,” Luo Yuqing said, then extended her hand towards Luo Ziling, “Would you like to create a glorious future that belongs to the Luo Family with me? I’m willing to be your good helper as your sister. I know you’re short-handed, and I happen to be the right fit!”
