Chapter 1447: Chapter 1447: Yang Qingyin Returns

“Go to hell,” Lin Lan stretched out her foot from under the blanket and gave Luo Ziling a hard kick. “Even if I wanted to get pregnant, it wouldn’t be at a time like this.”

Luo Ziling could only manage an awkward smile.

It seemed that Lin Lan’s bloated feeling was just due to her menstrual cycle. She looked slightly plumper, which could also be attributed to her recent period of recuperation.

Soon, the possibility of Lin Lan being pregnant was ruled out. Luo Ziling confirmed this through her pulse and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Though he did feel a little disappointed.

At this moment, Luo Ziling actually found himself somewhat expecting Lin Lan to be pregnant.

Of course, it was purely out of curiosity, and even a vague desire to test whether he had the ability to get a woman pregnant.

“Do you use birth control every time?” Luo Ziling asked curiously.

Lin Lan merely glared at Luo Ziling, her cheeks flushed, but didn’t answer.

Luo Ziling didn’t mind. Lin Lan’s glare had already told him the answer.

After treating Lin Lan, he worked hard to give her a massage.

He catered to all of Lin Lan’s requests.

It was fortunate that Lin Lan couldn’t take things further due to her physiological condition; otherwise, anything might have happened.

During these intimate moments with Lin Lan, Luo Ziling didn’t feel the slightest awkwardness; everything just happened naturally.

Only afterward did he feel a little ashamed. He understood that once a man and woman had that kind of relationship, many things would start to unfold naturally, becoming hard to control.

Once done treating Lin Lan, Luo Ziling went to check on Li Haiyang.

Li Haiyang had also been transferred to the sanatorium.

If Li Haiyang hadn’t come to the sanatorium, Lin Lan probably wouldn’t have come either; she was essentially accompanying and taking care of him there.

This time, Luo Ziling didn’t perform any treatment for Li Haiyang, just gave him a massage.

Li Haiyang’s recovery was going well, though the process remained slow.

Initially, Li Haiyang was quite satisfied with his recovery progress, but as it plateaued, he began to grow impatient. Seeing no significant changes during this period made him somewhat anxious.

After Luo Ziling massaged him and listened to his explanation, Li Haiyang finally let go of his concerns.

By the time Luo Ziling finished treating Li Haiyang, it was already eleven o’clock. Lin Lan suggested to Luo Ziling to stay for lunch before leaving.

Glancing at the time, Luo Ziling realized he could still make it to Yanjing Airport after lunch, so he agreed.

Lin Lan went to fetch the food.

After she brought the food back, the two of them ate in Lin Lan’s room.

Yang Xiaodong ate by himself in the cafeteria.

He didn’t feel lonely, as there were several Dragon Rise team members also recuperating at the sanatorium. Yang Xiaodong, being naturally sociable, quickly began mingling with them.

“Do you need me to help you with something?” Lin Lan quietly asked Luo Ziling while they ate. “I happen to have free time recently. For at least the next month, I won’t have any assignments.”

“Then take the chance to rest well. If I need your help, I’ll let you know personally,” Luo Ziling said with a smile. “Focus on taking care of your health first.”

“Alright,” Lin Lan didn’t say much more.

As Luo Ziling prepared to leave, she quietly asked another question: “Was Yang Yunzhong’s injury orchestrated by someone from your side?”

“I don’t know about that. I didn’t ask, and even if I did, they wouldn’t tell me,” Luo Ziling replied with an awkward smile. “Personally, I think it’s unlikely to be a coincidence. After all, residential heating pipe explosions are exceedingly rare.”

“Exceedingly rare indeed,” Lin Lan nodded thoughtfully. “For it to strike Yang Yunzhong so precisely, leaving no traces and no anomalies in the investigation results—that’s quite an impressive method.”

“You’ve changed!”

“What?” Lin Lan was caught off guard by Luo Ziling’s abrupt comment, momentarily unable to react.

“You’ve become prettier, and more feminine,” Luo Ziling teased as he looked at Lin Lan. “Back when you were injured the first time, you probably said less over six or seven days than you’ve said today in a single day!”

Lin Lan stared at Luo Ziling curiously. “You don’t want me to change like this?”

“This is great! At least now you look like a woman. Just don’t end up like Phoenix, that tomboy—one might as well ignore her gender altogether.”

“Careful, she might overhear you.”

“I’d say it to her face!”

“…” Lin Lan shot Luo Ziling a glance but didn’t say much else.

As Luo Ziling left the Dragon Rise sanatorium, he received a message from Ouyang Feifei.

“Yang Qingyin is coming back today. Are you going to pick her up?”

“What does that have to do with you?”

Ouyang Feifei didn’t reply, and Luo Ziling didn’t dwell on it.

He didn’t inform Yang Xiaodong about going to pick up Yang Qingyin, only mentioned he’d be meeting someone at the airport. Yang Xiaodong didn’t pry further.

When the car arrived at the airport, Yang Xiaodong casually remarked, “I won’t interrupt your date then. I’ll wait in the car.”

Luo Ziling ignored Yang Xiaodong’s odd expression and headed straight into the airport terminal.

Before going up, he sent messages to both Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye, letting them know he had arrived at the airport.

Before Yang Qingyin boarded her flight yesterday, they had exchanged messages on WeChat. Luo Ziling had told her he would come to the airport to meet her and hoped she could create an opportunity for them to meet alone. With Yang Yunlin returning together, Luo Ziling couldn’t greet her openly, so they had to plan a covert meeting.

Neither Luo Ziling nor Yang Qingyin wanted to provoke Yang Yunlin’s ire over such matters.

Yang Qingye would help cover for them, making it easy for Luo Ziling to meet Yang Qingyin alone.

The flight Yang Qingyin was on had been delayed by half an hour but finally landed.

When the airport broadcast announced the arrival of the flight from New York to Yanjing, Luo Ziling received a message from Yang Qingyin. She told him their plane had landed and they were preparing to disembark.

Before receiving Yang Qingyin’s message, Luo Ziling had already picked a spot for their meeting.

About 200 meters from the terminal exit, near a restroom, there was an area behind an advertising billboard. Luo Ziling instructed Yang Qingyin to meet him there.

Yang Qingyin responded with an “OK” gesture.

Soon, Luo Ziling spotted Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye, both wearing sunglasses, emerging from the terminal exit. Yang Yunlin and Chen Qiaoyu followed behind them.

Someone was waiting to meet them at the exit.

Yang Yunlin and Chen Qiaoyu went directly to join the person receiving them, while Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye handed over their luggage to them and headed toward the restroom area.

Soon, Luo Ziling’s phone rang—it was a call from Yang Qingye.

After answering the call, Luo Ziling told Yang Qingye where he was hiding.

A moment later, Yang Qingyin, still wearing sunglasses and accompanied by Yang Qingye as her cover, appeared before him.

Although they had been in touch every day through messages, the few days of separation still made Luo Ziling feel a surge of excitement upon seeing Yang Qingyin.

Yang Qingyin felt the same. As soon as she spotted Luo Ziling, she brushed aside Yang Qingye’s presence and lunged straight into his arms.
