Chapter 1138 - 1138 1138 I Didnt Force You

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: I Didn’t Force You Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: I Didn’t Force You Luo Ziling left the bar at midnight.

At this hour, the bar was still full of customers.

Wuyue hadn’t left yet, she planned to stay until the business hours ended before leaving.

After all, it was the opening day, and she wanted to pay attention to everything and reflect on it.

Luo Ziling left with Luo Yuqing and Chen Xiaoyi, and Yang Qingye also left with them.

When leaving, Yang Qingye, who had previously insisted on going for late-night snacks, changed her mind and wanted everyone to go back to rest early.

Luo Ziling saw through Yang Qingye’s small trick and knew that Yang Qingyin didn’t want him to continue staying with Chen Xiaoyi.

But Chen Xiaoyi and Luo Yuqing still wanted to stay with Luo Ziling for a while, and they suggested going for late-night snacks.

“Forget it, it’s already so late, and there are things to do tomorrow, better head back to sleep,” Luo Ziling showed no interest in having late-night snacks and found an excuse, “Weren’t the pastries and fruits in the bar to your taste? Heh, getting fat would be tragic, and winter is the time when it’s easiest to gain fat.”

Luo Ziling’s last two sentences successfully scared Luo Yuqing and Chen Xiaoyi, and they no longer insisted on going for late-night snacks, agreeing to go back to sleep.

So, Chen Xiaoyi went home with Chen Xiaoxiao and Fang Qianqian, while Luo Ziling prepared to return to school with Luo Yuqing, with Yang Qingye accompanying them.

Originally, Yang Qingye was wary of Luo Yuqing, afraid that Luo Yuqing would pose a threat to Yang Qingyin, but now he could be sure that Luo Yuqing was indeed Luo Ziling’s sister, so he no longer kept his guard up against her and didn’t intend to pursue Luo Yuqing anymore.

Luo Yuqing was quite assertive, and possibly being Luo Xusheng’s daughter, even if Yang Qingye liked Luo Yuqing, he would give her up.

After all, he had been through a lot, had many girlfriends, and wouldn’t lack female companionship in the future. He wasn’t like Chuge, who was inexperienced and would take a liking to any pretty girl he saw.

Because of Yang Qingyin’s relationship with Luo Ziling, Yang Qingye also didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Luo Yuqing, so he was quite ingratiating to her.

In case Luo Ziling married Yang Qingyin, Luo Yuqing would become Yang Qingyin’s eldest aunt. In Huaxia, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is a very difficult riddle, and the relationship between aunts-in-law is similarly complex; those who become younger or older aunts often harbor hostility towards the women who “stole” their brothers.

Yang Qingye feared that straining his relationship with Luo Yuqing would affect the relationship between Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin, so he was very flattering the entire way.

However, Luo Yuqing misunderstood Yang Qingye’s flattery, thinking he wanted to pursue her. She felt rather helpless but didn’t know what to say.

It was only after they had nearly reached the vicinity of the school that Yang Qingye parted ways with them.

After Yang Qingye left, Luo Yuqing let out a sigh of relief.

She said with worrying, “Junior, what if Yang Qingye really wants to pursue me, what should I do?”

“If you like him, then accept it, if you don’t, then refuse. It’s that simple.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling’s response might as well have been nothing, and Luo Yuqing could only murmur her agreement in resignation.

After Yang Qingye left, and she had no more concerns, she reached out and took hold of Luo Ziling’s arm, wanting to experience the romance of window shopping with Luo Ziling.

“Senior sister, it’s freezing cold, and it’s the middle of the night, you’re still in the mood for a stroll?” Luo Ziling was a bit speechless.

“Yes,” Luo Yuqing said with an air of triumph, “so many beauties with you today, I didn’t even get the chance to talk to you alone. I won’t get any sleep tonight if I don’t treasure this opportunity now.”

Before Luo Ziling could reply, she added, “I’ve never walked down the street hand in hand with a boy before. Will you be my escort today, can you?”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling finally couldn’t bear to refuse.

So, Luo Yuqing happily tightened her grip on Luo Ziling’s arm and even leaned her head on his shoulder.

“Junior, you’re still in school and you already own your own bar. Seeing today’s business, it’s bound to be booming in the future,” Luo Yuqing started talking about serious matters, “Actually, I also own a bar not far from your Night North Bar; it’s called Night Color Bar. Sounds quite similar, doesn’t it? Hehe, shall we join forces?”

“You didn’t ask me out shopping just to discuss this, did you?” Luo Ziling stopped walking and looked seriously at Luo Yuqing.

“Of course not,” Luo Yuqing shook her head, “It just occurred to me. If it’s inconvenient, then forget it. Anyway, I don’t like dealing with these things.”

“We could,” Luo Ziling thought for a moment before saying, “Who’s managing that bar now? Do you own all of it?”

“My mom said it’s part of my dowry, and she has someone managing it. I own all the rights.” As she said this, Luo Yuqing turned a bit mischievous, “My mom said that it makes a few hundred thousand in profit each year, and as long as it keeps operating, I won’t starve.”

“How about this,” Luo Ziling spoke earnestly, “Night North Bar is being managed by someone close to my mom. Her intention is to consolidate her entertainment assets, including bars, clubs, and cinemas. If you’re interested, we could pool them together and just split the dividends as shareholders. If you’re intrigued by the idea, I’ll discuss it with my mom and Wuyue some day. I believe they would agree.”

“That’s a good idea,” Luo Yuqing became visibly joyful, “But I actually like managing things; I enjoy having authority over others. After we merge, can I participate in the management?”

“Do you want to be a strong, independent woman?”

“Yes,” Luo Yuqing nodded earnestly, “My idols are your mom and Ouyang Feifei.”

Luo Ziling, however, shook his head. “I don’t envy them at all, it’s so tiring and joyless.”

“Yes, it’s definitely tiring for them, but it feels fulfilling.” Luo Yuqing looked a bit excited, “I want to build my own career and prove my capabilities. It’s just a shame that I don’t have the opportunity to do so in the Li Family; I can only rely on my own abilities to make it happen.”

Luo Ziling stopped again and looked at Luo Yuqing with a mischievous smile, “It seems that I, as a younger brother, should help out my sister to achieve her dreams.”

Unable to hide her joy, Luo Yuqing still playfully said, “You said that yourself, I didn’t force you.”

Seeing Luo Yuqing’s cute and playful demeanor, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her nose, “No scheming against me!”

“I wouldn’t dream of it,” Luo Yuqing sniffed with mild displeasure, “I would never scheme against you, no matter what our relationship is.”

Saying so, she hugged Luo Ziling’s arm even tighter.

These words from Luo Yuqing also touched Luo Ziling a little, and he didn’t resist letting her hug him tightly.

The two of them continued to walk slowly down the street, arms linked.

As they passed a dark spot of the street, Luo Ziling suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.

Instinctively on alert, he immediately stopped and pulled Luo Yuqing behind him to protect her.

In that moment of reaction, a dark figure leaped out of the shadows, blocking their path.
