Chapter 1427: Chapter 1427: Warning

“What are you doing?” After being pulled into the kitchen by Luo Ziling, Ouyang Feifei struggled angrily to pull away her hand, “Do you know how annoying you are?”

“I had no idea!” Luo Ziling innocently replied, “A handsome guy who’s as comfortable in the hall as he is in the kitchen must be a rare breed. If even such a guy is called annoying by you, you’re bound to stay single forever.”

A word said in jest could be taken seriously, upon hearing Luo Ziling’s words, Ouyang Feifei’s face unexpectedly turned red.

“Who would marry you if they were blind!” she retorted bitterly.

“Then I hope you don’t go blind.” Luo Ziling reached out and pinched Ouyang Feifei’s rosy cheeks before instructing, “Hurry up and help me wash the vegetables, or you won’t get any dinner.”

“I can leave, can’t I??” Ouyang Feifei said angrily, “Since Mr. Luo doesn’t want me here, I’ll leave.”

“Alright, then go. You get angry just because I asked you to wash some vegetables. Later, I’ll have my mom judge who’s right!”

Ouyang Feifei got even angrier and suddenly kicked Luo Ziling.

“You’re pulling this move again!” Luo Ziling was quick to react, grabbing Ouyang Feifei’s leg, “Believe it or not, I can do the same to you?”

As he spoke, he also pinched Ouyang Feifei’s waist.

Ouyang Feifei couldn’t help but scream out loud.

Soon, Ling Ruonan’s voice could be heard asking, “What’s going on?”

“Mom, it’s nothing, a woman just got startled by a crab, I’ve never seen someone so timid!” Luo Ziling said, and took out a crab from the bag, handing it to Ouyang Feifei.

Ouyang Feifei dodged it in fright.

Entering the kitchen, Ling Ruonan, who saw this scene, couldn’t help but laugh and scold, “Do you have to bully Feifei like this? Alright, Feifei, go and rest. I’ll help out.”

“Okay, okay, you all go out and chat. Let’s see how a young man struggles in the kitchen today.” Luo Ziling said, pushing Ouyang Feifei and Ling Ruonan out, “Go talk about important things, all three of you are women of importance.”

“You little brat, always talking nonsense,” Ling Ruonan scolded with a smile before pulling Ouyang Feifei out of the kitchen.

As she was pulling her out, she cheerfully said: “Today, us three ladies will sit back and reap the rewards while enjoying a dinner made by Ziling. Come on, Feifei, let’s chat.”

As Ouyang Feifei was being pulled out of the kitchen by Ling Ruonan, she still gave Luo Ziling a glare, indicating her dissatisfaction.

But Luo Ziling ignored her displeasure, closed the door behind them, and began preparing dinner.

Soon, the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas, and the three women couldn’t stop bringing up Luo Ziling while they were talking.

Anyway, Luo Ziling had plenty of flaws according to these three women; their chat had practically turned into a council of complaints against him.

However, when Luo Ziling came out with the dishes he cooked, Luo Yuqing, who had been complaining about how often Luo Ziling bullied her in front of Ling Ruonan, immediately ran over excitedly, sniffed the food, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ziling, I can’t believe you have such skill.”

Luo Ziling said proudly, “People like me are fit both for the hall and the kitchen, rarer than pandas.”

“Cut it out, ‘my lord,'” Luo Yuqing knocked Luo Ziling on the head, “Daring to call yourself ‘my lord’ in front of your mom and when talking to your sister. You’re too bold for your own good.”

“Don’t knock on my head,” Luo Ziling swatted away Luo Yuqing’s hand that was about to twist his ear, saying indignantly, “You’ve only been my sister for a few days, and you’re already bossing me around. Believe it or not, I’ll stuff you inside a snowman and put you on display outside.”

With a “pfft,” Ouyang Feifei, who was standing by and watching the two bicker, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Ling Ruonan also couldn’t hold back her laughter, looking at Luo Ziling with an affectionate gaze, she then said to Luo Yuqing, “Alright, stop fooling around, let’s get ready for dinner.”

After acknowledging, Luo Yuqing followed Ling Ruonan into the kitchen to fetch bowls and plates.

There was no alcohol at dinner, the four of them simply ate slowly.

During the meal, Luo Ziling suddenly remembered Wuyue and couldn’t help asking why she wasn’t seen around.

“She still has matters to take care of,” Ling Ruonan sighed softly, “She has to arrange for Yuqing’s safety.”

“Mrs. Ling, thank you,” Luo Yuqing said emotionally, “I’m causing you worry. Actually, it should be fine, we’ve been through so many years.”

“I already know that someone wants to harm you,” Ling Ruonan said very seriously to Luo Yuqing, “You should be safe at school. You must be careful during these days before the semester starts, as any trouble would be problematic.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to Mrs. Ling.” Luo Yuqing didn’t argue further.

The group didn’t continue discussing this issue and switched to other topics instead.

Because she sensed a change in Ling Ruonan’s attitude towards her, Luo Yuqing talked the most.

Ouyang Feifei was always a woman of few words, and given today’s awkward situation, she didn’t say much during the meal.

After finishing the meal, the three women gathered to clean up the table while Luo Ziling sat aside drinking tea.

After cleaning up, Ouyang Feifei invited everyone to sit together and have tea.

In Luo Ziling’s presence, Ling Ruonan voiced her opinion on the acquisition of Qingniao Media.

“This is an opportunity, but of course, it could also be a trap.” Ling Ruonan hadn’t discussed these words with Ouyang Feifei and Luo Yuqing just now—when Luo Ziling was cooking, she had only listened to Luo Yuqing recounting today’s negotiation with Fang Dongxun, and heard some of Ouyang Feifei’s own insights, but she didn’t express any opinions.

Some words, she wanted to say to Luo Ziling, hence she only spoke when the four of them sat together.

“You must be wary of Fang Dongxun playing tricks, and even more cautious of those who seek to take advantage of the situation and sabotage us. After all, a six hundred million investment isn’t a small amount. Of course, money isn’t the most important thing—the most important aspect is that it’s also a contest.” Having said this, Ling Ruonan turned to Ouyang Feifei, “I assume, on business matters, Feifei would understand more than the rest of you. In the initial stage of this matter, you should personally keep an eye on it.”

“Mrs. Ling, I understand,” Ouyang Feifei agreed without hesitation.

“As for Fang Dongxun, it’s time to test his magnanimity and sincerity, of course, he’s looking at us the same way,” Ling Ruonan continued seriously, “In these matters, you two are greenhorns who need to accumulate experience. Hence, there are some things I need to make clear to you.”

“Mom, just say whatever you need to say, we’re all ears!” Luo Ziling chuckled.

“Open and hidden strategies, you must be prepared for both, and moreover, you, brother and sister, must stick together,” Ling Ruonan’s expression became solemn as she said this, “I don’t want to see you using each other or placing individual interests above everything else.”

While saying this, Ling Ruonan looked into Luo Yuqing’s eyes.

Luo Yuqing felt a chill in her heart; she knew that Ling Ruonan’s words were a warning to her.
