Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340: Could It Be, Really Fallen For Them?
On the big bed in the room, Ruonan was lying face down while Ziling was massaging her.
âMom, can you tell me about what happened between you and Dad back then?â Today, Ruonan was clearly a bit out of sorts, which piqued Zilingâs curiosity. He guessed that revisiting the old place successfully triggered Ruonanâs memories of the past and put her in a certain state.
He understood Ruonanâs slight loss of control over her emotions, so he wasnât particularly bothered by it.
However, Ruonan was quite good at controlling her emotions; after a short moment, she returned to normal.
But her emotions were still more agitated than usual, and while Ziling was massaging her, she couldnât help but share some of the past events with him.
She talked about the places they visited in Yuezhou after she followed Xusheng there, how they ended up together, and so on.
These were things she had never shared with anyone else. Having someone to share them with also helped release some emotions.
Ruonan also admitted that shortly after the trip to Yuezhou ended, she discovered she was pregnant.
At that time, with little knowledge about such matters, she felt both panic and surprise.
Xusheng felt much the same â both panicked and pleasantly surprised.
Subsequently, the couple planned to come clean to their elders, hoping for their permission to marry.
Unexpectedly, thereafter, there was no more time for warmth and sweetness; pain began and ensued into twenty years of separation.
Ziling had not been born yet, when Xusheng was driven away.
If Liansheng and Xusheng had not compromised at that moment, Xushengâs life might have been at risk.
Liansheng was also forced to leave the Capital, while Ruonan was âimprisoned.â
The Yang Family even devised ways to terminate the child in Ruonanâs womb, thankfully Enhua was there, otherwise, there would be no Ziling. Enhua loved her daughter dearly, and she also liked Xusheng; she hoped that the two stubborn people could come together, thus she stood by Ruonanâs side and helped save the unborn child.
Eventually, Ziling was safely born.
However, Ruonan only took care of him for three months. Under constant pressure from the Yang Family and some dissatisfaction from the Ling Family, Ziling was hastily taken away by Liansheng and thus the family was torn apart.
In the past, Ruonan had spoken about similar things to Ziling, and at those times, she would be tearful.
This time, she was surprisingly tearless, showing only wistfulness.
Ziling could tell that Ruonan still harbored some profound memories of the trip to Yuezhou; it made her emotionally unstable. If not for that, she wouldnât have asked him to stay with her tonight, nor would she have disclosed so many private matters.
Finally, amidst Zilingâs massages, Ruonan fell into a deep sleep.
The bed in Ruonanâs room was very large, about two and a half meters wide and two meters eighty in length.
Ziling thought that the designer of such a large bed was a bit perverse.
A bed this large could fit three or four people without feeling crowded.
With each person having their own blanket, they could probably sleep together all night without any contact.
He also knew that Ruonan asking him to sleep here was probably due to her emotional instability.
Initially, he had some concerns, fearing something might happen, but seeing such a large bed, he felt more at ease.
But he didnât go to sleep right away, he went to the room next door, Wuyueâs room.
Wuyue was still working on a document, but as soon as she saw Luo Ziling come in, she immediately stopped.
âYoung Master, havenât you gone to bed yet?â She stood up and asked softly.
âI havenât done what I promised you yet!â Luo Ziling peeked at the laptop screen, then closed the lid, âIt doesnât have to be done tonight. Stop working, get ready to go to bed.â
Wuyue hesitated for a moment but eventually did not refuse and nodded gently in agreement.
âYoung Master, Iâm fine, you should go to sleep too,â she still dared not accept Luo Zilingâs kindness.
Late at night, a young man and a young woman alone in a room, it was easy for something to happen.
Luo Ziling was going to massage her, which would definitely involve physical contact.
If something inappropriate happened here, it could ruin the rest of her life. She could imagine what the attitude of Ruonan would be if she found out there was something disgraceful between her and Luo Ziling.
âDonât doubt my medical skills. Except for my grandfather, I really havenât admired anyone elseâs techniques,â Luo Ziling smiled at Wuyue, and took out a bottle from his embrace, then grabbed Wuyueâs hand and placed a pill in it.
âIt has the effect of beautifying and keeping you young. Take it, and let me massage you, youâll continue to look beautiful tomorrow.â
Wuyue was stunned for a moment, looking at Luo Ziling in surprise.
âIf you think of me as some pervert, believing this pill is some sort of aphrodisiac, Iâd slap you to death,â Luo Ziling saw the doubt in Wuyueâs eyes and couldnât help being a bit annoyed, âLet me tell you, I rarely offer to massage anyone, and most people, even if they offer me one hundred thousand yuan, I wouldnât bother. You little girl, to dare look at me that way, believe it or notâI might really harass you.â
Wuyueâs face blushed, but she finally did not refuse Luo Zilingâs kindness and was willing to accept his massage.
And really, these past few days, she indeed felt a bit low on energy. In the morning, when she looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes were a bit swollen and the dark circles were quite apparent, she could even see crowâs feet appearing, which was very upsetting.
Women cherish their appearance, especially beautiful women, and Wuyue was no exception.
She did not believe that Luo Ziling would drug her, and she was aware that Luo Ziling had many secret medicines.
Thus, after deciding to accept Luo Zilingâs kindness, she took the fragrant pill and swallowed it with some water.
When swallowing, she felt a refreshing fragrance from her throat to her stomach, then slowly spreading, feeling very comfortable.
âIâm going to take a shower,â Wuyue lowered her head and said softly to Luo Ziling, âWill you wait for me, please?â
She was afraid that her own body odor would annoy Luo Ziling and make herself embarrassed.
Luo Ziling smiled and nodded, saying he would wait outside.
After Luo Ziling left, Wuyue hurriedly took pajamas from her luggage and rushed into the bathroom.
Somehow, the decisiveness that she usually had was replaced with a bit of panic today.
Watching her face in the mirror, blushingly radiant and stunningly beautiful, Wuyue was actually stunned for a moment.
She had never shown such an expression in front of other men, she was totally sure of that.
Only in front of Luo Ziling, she often felt nervous, worried about gains and losses.
Could it be, she really fell for this young man several years her junior?
