Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: Chen Xiaoyi Takes the Initiative

Chen Xiaoyi recovered quite well, but Luo Ziling still treated her.

After the acupuncture treatment, Chen Xiaoyi felt much more comfortable, her whole body felt indescribably relaxed.

“I feel a bit lazy,” Chen Xiaoyi shifted her body and gestured for Luo Ziling to lie down too, “Can you stay with me a little longer, and talk with me?”

“Okay,” Luo Ziling began to pack up his things, “I’ll sit and talk with you!”

“Turn off the light to avoid alarming anyone outside; just lie down. Anyway, the bed is big enough.” Chen Xiaoyi smiled a little shyly.

Luo Ziling thought about it and ultimately didn’t insist. After turning off the light, he lay down next to Chen Xiaoyi.

“My dad threatened to disown me,” Chen Xiaoyi said melancholically, “I don’t know why he got so angry.”

“I seem quite disliked,” Luo Ziling said with a helpless smile, “Aside from my parents, many other people’s parents dislike me too.”

“It’s not that they dislike you, but they find you too dangerous, also due to the grudges of past generations, so they guard against you, fearing their daughters will be deceived by you,” Chen Xiaoyi said as she moved closer to Luo Ziling, face to face.

With the lights out, the room was in darkness, and Chen Xiaoyi’s courage grew.

“Aren’t you worried about being deceived by me?” Luo Ziling asked curiously.

“I want to deceive you,” Chen Xiaoyi’s hand moved onto Luo Ziling, her head leaning closer, “such a handsome young man, my heart fluttered the moment I saw you.”

“Uh, can you not put it so bluntly?” Luo Ziling was somewhat speechless, Chen Xiaoyi seemed a bit different today.

Chen Xiaoyi snuggled further into Luo Ziling’s embrace, almost lying sideways on his shoulder, “I’m just a straightforward person, I say what I feel. I like you and hope you like me too!”

“With your parents treating me this way, how could that be possible?”

“Then let me ask you, do you like me? Excluding all external factors, just purely whether you like me or not!”

Luo Ziling did not deny it, but also didn’t admit directly, “Pretty girls, everyone will like them! I think, if you go out on the street and ask, out of ten men, at least nine would say they like you.”

“What about the other one?”

“The other one was busy playing on his phone, he forgot to look at you!”

“Stop it!” Chen Xiaoyi pinched Luo Ziling playfully, pressing her body closer into his embrace.

Luo Ziling’s heart raced.

Chen Xiaoyi didn’t say anything else, just hugged Luo Ziling as they lay there; Luo Ziling could feel her breathing and heartbeat speeding up.

“Do you know? I’m going abroad,” seeing Luo Ziling didn’t initiate, Chen Xiaoyi finally threw caution to the wind, whispering in his ear, “My dad wants me to stay overseas for a while before coming back. He has already spoken to the leader, arranging for me to be the deputy station chief in Europe. In a few days, I’m going to take up the post. He promised me that as long as I go abroad, he won’t bother you anymore.”

“Oh?!” Luo Ziling was a bit surprised, “Why did you agree?”

“I’m afraid my parents will trouble you again,” Chen Xiaoyi hesitated.

Actually, there’s a lot involved in this matter, it’s not simple to explain all at once, and Chen Xiaoyi didn’t want to tell Luo Ziling everything.

Of course, she didn’t want to go abroad, but in the struggle with her parents, she had to compromise.

At least now she felt that working abroad for two years before returning was the most suitable choice.

If she stayed in China, she would completely lose her freedom in the coming years.

This was her parents’ demand; if she didn’t agree, the trouble would continue.

The incident involving Chen Jiahai had already angered many in the Chen Family.

For the sake of Luo Ziling’s safety, Chen Xiaoyi hoped her concession would temporarily calm the situation.

She would be returning home tomorrow, and the day after she was to fly to Paris, preparing to take up her new post while continuing her treatment.

The medical conditions in Europe were better than domestically; Chen Yining planned to accompany Chen Xiaoyi to America for treatment to avoid future problems.

Although Luo Ziling’s medical skills were good, Chen Yining did not entirely trust that Luo Ziling’s treatment could completely heal Chen Xiaoyi.

Having Chen Xiaoyi treated and convalescing in Europe was what Chen Yining considered the easiest way to separate her daughter from Luo Ziling.

Staying in Yanjing would mean complete loss of freedom; she’d rather stay in Europe for two years, this was what Chen Xiaoyi thought.

In America, without her family’s supervision, she wouldn’t need to worry about anything.

Sneaking back to China once, or having Luo Ziling visit her in Europe, would mean whatever they did, her family couldn’t intervene.

Many considerations led Chen Xiaoyi to agree to her parents’ arrangement, willing to stay in Europe for a couple of years.

Hearing Chen Xiaoyi’s words, Luo Ziling felt a tumult in his heart; he was aware that his actions had caused tremendous trouble for Chen Xiaoyi’s life.

He felt a bit guilty.

But Chen Xiaoyi did not blame him at all and continued to treat him tenderly.

Eventually, Luo Ziling couldn’t resist Chen Xiaoyi’s initiative…
