Chapter 1499: Chapter 1499: Return to Yanjing

Luo Yuqing’s words left Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin feeling a bit awkward.

On the plane, neither of them talked much.

A little after the plane took off, Yang Qingyin fell asleep.

Luo Yuqing and Ouyang Feifei also slept; the three women hadn’t slept well last night, so they didn’t look great today.

In fact, that’s the main reason they didn’t want to take pictures with Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling wasn’t sleepy; he held his phone, looking at the photos he took over the past few days, thinking as he looked through them.

The new rule allowing phones to remain on during flights was quite a pleasant surprise for passengers.

Luo Yuqing’s words before boarding did indeed touch his heart, making him feel a bit guilty.

He really couldn’t deny what Luo Yuqing said, and he believed Yang Qingyin understood that too, which was why she was also feeling down.

Luo Ziling was quite troubled, mainly due to Yang Yunlin’s heavy-handed interference.

To him, that was the biggest pressure.

Without the Yang Family’s interference and this love-hate relationship, everything else wouldn’t be a problem.

Luo Ziling knew that even though he had various entanglements with others, if he had to choose someone to live with, it would definitely be Yang Qingyin. In other words, the person he wanted to marry was Yang Qingyin, not anyone else.

He couldn’t help but think of the things Luo Yuqing said last night, and a bitter smile crept up his face.

Those were things that would never happen to him; eventually, among these women around him, he would definitely have to make choices.

Feeling a bit bored, he moved his phone to the window, taking a few pictures of the blue sky and white clouds outside.

He selected two pictures of clouds lying flat on the sky like a blanket, and two pictures of the women sleeping next to him, and posted them on his social media.

“Returning home, neither wind nor rain, nor emotions.” This was the caption he put with the pictures.

But after posting, he realized he had made a typo with the last character, replacing “clear” with “emotions,” but was too lazy to correct it, only fixing it in a comment below: “Neither wind nor rain, nor clear.”

As the plane landed, Luo Ziling received a call from Ling Ruonan asking him to come home for dinner that night, and to invite Yang Qingyin, Luo Yuqing, and Ouyang Feifei. Luo Ziling relayed this to the three women, and Luo Yuqing immediately cheered and agreed, while Ouyang Feifei didn’t refuse. Yang Qingyin hesitated a bit, but ultimately agreed and then called her mom to explain the situation.

Chen Qiaoyu didn’t stop Yang Qingyin from going to Ling Ruonan’s for dinner, just advised her not to tell Yang Yunlin about it.

As they left the airport, Luo Yuqing, sitting beside Luo Ziling, held up her phone pointing at the post he made on the plane, and teasingly asked, “Coming back, there’s neither wind nor emotions, what do you mean? Dumping both of them and finding new pretty girls?”

“It was just a typo, wasn’t the correction below?” Luo Ziling replied, a bit annoyed.

“I think the mistaken line is what’s truly in your heart,” Luo Yuqing whispered in Luo Ziling’s ear, “Are you planning to ditch both of them and find new girls? I know you’ve been involved with that female officer for a while. Your mom likes her too. Why don’t you marry her instead?”

“Stop messing up others’ relationships. Are you done yet? Isn’t your name all about rain and clear skies?” Luo Ziling snapped in frustration, “Say nonsense again, and I’m not bringing you for dinner.”

“It’s not you inviting me, it’s your mom inviting me.” Luo Yuqing replied arrogantly, “So, you don’t have the authority to decide not to take me. And stop dragging me into your love polygon.”

“Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.”

“This is just me, what can you do about it? You wouldn’t dare hit me!”

Luo Ziling glared at Luo Yuqing but eventually gave up on dealing with this troublesome sister and ignored her.

After leaving the airport, they first went to the school, registered, and then headed to Ling Ruonan’s villa.

When they arrived at Ling Ruonan’s villa, she was already home, busy preparing dinner with Wuyue.

Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing went to help in the kitchen, while Ouyang Feifei, who was completely clueless about housework, opted not to join in.

“What did Yuqing say to you?” Ouyang Feifei asked quietly while they were the only ones in the living room.

“She asked what I meant with the typo in my post, and I told her it was just a mistake, corrected afterward.”

“She thinks you didn’t mistake it, that it was intentional, right?”

“Women being too smart isn’t always a good thing!”

“If not becoming someone’s lover, then being a nun, am I right?”

“That’s your saying, not mine,” Luo Ziling replied innocently.

Ouyang Feifei gave him a stare but said no more.

Soon after, Ling Ruonan emerged from the kitchen, having been ushered out by the other women.

Wuyue was a cooking expert, with the other two women quite competent as assistants, so she came out to rest.

“How was it? You seemed to have had a lot of fun during the Lantern Festival, right?” Ling Ruonan asked as she sat beside Ouyang Feifei, her eyes on Luo Ziling, “Judging by what you posted, you seemed to have a great time.”

“Just trying to have fun amidst the hardship,” Luo Ziling replied with a bitter smile, “Coming back, there are bound to be storms.”

“It’s not as dramatic as you make it sound,” Ling Ruonan glared at Luo Ziling, “Don’t make things seem so bleak, okay?”

“Aunt Ling, I shouldn’t have gone,” Ouyang Feifei said quietly, “But I couldn’t help wanting to.”

“It’s okay, there’s nothing wrong with visiting, having some fun together with everyone,” Ling Ruonan smiled, then turned to Luo Ziling, “Yang Yunlin called me, venting his anger.”

Luo Ziling smiled awkwardly, unsure of how to respond.

He couldn’t understand why Ling Ruonan mentioned it in front of Ouyang Feifei.

Ouyang Feifei also said nothing, as it wasn’t her place to comment.

“Once the term starts, you’ll face more challenges, be prepared,” Ling Ruonan continued without minding Luo Ziling’s silence, “I hope you mature quickly and handle your life properly. Life is all about making choices; some are right, some wrong, and it’s not always clear which is which. Regardless, you have to make choices, and through these choices, you mature.”

“Mom, are you switching to becoming a psychologist?” Luo Ziling chuckled, “Don’t make it sound so profound, it makes me anxious.”

“Alright, I’ll stop. I’d love to hear about your fun times in Chang’an later.” Ling Ruonan said while standing up, inviting Ouyang Feifei for a private chat.

Watching the two women walk into the study, Luo Ziling felt somewhat uneasy.
