Chapter 1360: Chapter 1360: Ominous Premonition

After setting off fireworks, it was time for Luo Liansheng and Ling Ruonan to hand out red envelopes to everyone.

Luo Ziling received a particularly large one, and Luo Yuqing, Wuyue, and Ouyang Huihui all got one too. Judging by the thickness of the envelopes, they seemed to contain a similar amount of money.

Although the money inside the red envelopes wasn’t a lot, everyone was very happy when they received them, including Wuyue.

Even though her family was not complete, she was still deeply moved by Ling Ruonan’s motherly affection each Lunar New Year.

It was Luo Yuqing’s first time receiving a red envelope from Luo Liansheng and Ling Ruonan, and naturally, she was very happy.

Since cable TV hadn’t been installed in the old house yet, they couldn’t watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Nobody was really focusing on watching the New Year’s Eve gala, especially Ouyang Huihui and Luo Yuqing. What they wanted was to get close to the older members of the Luo Family and earn their favor, especially that of Ling Ruonan.

So, after receiving the red envelopes, they gathered around Ling Ruonan, sweetly chatting with her.

Although Ling Ruonan was not very satisfied with Ouyang Huihui and Luo Yuqing, she definitely would not show her feelings on New Year’s Eve. Moreover, she had been infected by the cheerful atmosphere created by Luo Ziling playing with fireworks just now, so she also chatted with them with a smile.

Wuyue was the quietest, sitting to the side, listening to Ling Ruonan, Luo Yuqing, and Ouyang Huihui talk. Her expression wasn’t as cold as usual; instead, a slight smile emerged on her face.

While Ling Ruonan was chatting with Luo Yuqing and Ouyang Huihui, Luo Ziling sneaked off to the side to text Yang Qingyin.

In America, it was about nine o’clock in the morning on New Year’s Eve, and Yang Qingyin had just woken up.

Still not completely adjusted to the time difference, she was confused about the time when she received a message from Luo Ziling.

Only after Luo Ziling told her that it was already New Year’s Eve night in China, and that they had just finished their New Year’s Eve dinner and set off fireworks, did she understand.

They chatted over video for a while, and she thought to wish him a Happy New Year.

Seeing Yang Qingyin wearing pajamas and looking somewhat unwell, Luo Ziling felt a bit heartbroken.

“I don’t believe you’re heartbroken at all,” Yang Qingyin retorted with a huff, “Surrounded by so many beauties, you look really happy. Happy enough, I presume. Fine, I won’t disturb your time celebrating with the beauties. I’m going off to have breakfast.”

Although she said this, she didn’t end the video call immediately but instead asked Luo Ziling what New Year’s gift he had for her.

“How about a kiss,” Luo Ziling suggested, kissing towards the phone screen.

“Gross,” Yang Qingyin rolled her eyes playfully at him.

“Call me again when it’s evening over there.”

“Sigh, I’m really envious of Luo Yuqing, being able to have New Year’s Eve dinner with you guys,” Luo Ziling clearly saw the loneliness on Yang Qingyin’s face as she said this.

“By next year, you will definitely be able to join us for the New Year’s Eve dinner!”

“Really?”

“If we work hard together, it will definitely become true.”

After ending the call with Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling’s mood improved a lot.

He sent another WeChat red envelope to Yang Qingyin, this time for two hundred yuan.

Yang Qingyin accepted it immediately and sent Luo Ziling several kissing emojis in return.

“Keep it for when you come back to cash in!”

“Hmph, I won’t!” Yang Qingyin replied with a couple of proud emojis.

“And pay off your debts to me as well!” Luo Ziling sent the message with an evil grin, adding several emojis of the same expression.

Yang Qingyin responded with several blushing emojis, then sent another message, “I don’t owe you anything!”

“You owe me a you!”

Yang Qingyin’s reply was like several bloody kitchen knives.

Right after finishing the chat with Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling received a message from Chen Xiaoyi: “Ziling, on New Year’s Eve, here I am in a foreign land wishing you a happy new year and to grow ever more handsome.”

“Happy New Year,” Luo Ziling replied, then quickly added another message: “How are you doing in Europe?”

Chen Xiaoyi’s reply came back swiftly: “Alright, busy as a dog every day, just got here, there’s so much I need to get used to.”

Luo Ziling suddenly didn’t know what to say.

As he hesitated, another message from Chen Xiaoyi came in.

“Actually, being busy is good, it keeps you from always thinking about messy stuff. These days, after I return to my place, I take a bath and fall asleep immediately, not even having the energy to think. Look at me, I have to go on an interview soon to see how the overseas Chinese are celebrating the New Year.”

This message was sent by Chen Xiaoyi as a voice message.

Then there was another voice message: “My body has completely recovered, and thank you for your several treatments. Without your help, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly. Also, thank you for coming to accompany me before I left the hospital, I will remember that night for a lifetime. I was thinking, how nice it would have been if I could have gotten pregnant with your child, perhaps I could even have gotten married on account of the baby. Hehe!”

Luo Ziling still didn’t know how to reply.

Without waiting for another message from Chen Xiaoyi, he sent a textual reply.

“I don’t even know how to face you.”

Chen Xiaoyi’s reply still came quickly, and it was a voice message again: “I’m the one pursuing you, and I’m willing to do everything. But you know, you took all my first times, shouldn’t you compensate me a bit? For instance, come to Europe to see me, and accompany me for a walk around?”

“If I have time, I will come to see you!”

“Even though you’re just tempting me with empty promises, I’m still very happy!”

“I don’t speak foreign languages!”

“I’ll be your translator!”

“What if you sell me off?”

“I will help you count the money!”

After a few jokes, Luo Ziling’s mood lightened, and he couldn’t help but tease: “Don’t be fooled by any Hu People while you’re abroad!”

“So far, my heart and body belong only to you, Missy here wouldn’t fall for anyone else so easily!” This message from Chen Xiaoyi came as text, followed by several proud emojis.

Then another message: “The first time, you let me experience a kind of pleasure that can’t be described by words. I’m addicted to the sensation and happiness you’ve given me, so, I’m going to cling to you, even if you marry someone else, I will still be your lover for life.”

This message made Luo Ziling shudder in fear, nearly smashing his phone on the ground.

He hurriedly deleted all the messages.

“Did I scare you?”

“Alright, I won’t chat with you anymore, I need to start working, wish you a Happy New Year again!”

Chen Xiaoyi then sent two messages in a row, with a few kissing emojis.

“Happy New Year, grow ever more beautiful!”

Luo Ziling’s well-wishes, in turn, brought a series of kissing emojis from Chen Xiaoyi.

Luo Ziling thought of calling Lin Lan to extend New Year’s greetings.

But the call couldn’t get through.

When he heard the message “The number you have dialed is currently unavailable” from the cellphone, Luo Ziling’s heart skipped a beat. For some reason, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
