Chapter 1508: Chapter 1508: Be Careful

“That’s not convenient,” Luo Ziling shook his head. “It’s a car worth tens of millions. My mom definitely wouldn’t accept it.”

“There’s nothing inconvenient about it. Even if you want to switch her car, it can’t happen immediately. What if your mom needs to go out tomorrow?” At this point, Ouyang Feifei’s tone grew serious. “Let’s use my car for now, to avoid any hassle. Is that okay? What do you think is more important—your mom’s safety or face? If we had been a bit less lucky today, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

As Luo Ziling hesitated, she added, “If you can’t make the decision, I’ll talk to your mom.”

Ouyang Feifei’s words left Luo Ziling speechless. In the end, he could only grumble, “Fine, let’s ask her opinion.”

Even as the words left his mouth, Luo Ziling knew that Ling Ruonan would definitely refuse Ouyang Feifei’s kind gesture, regardless of whether it was personal or work-related.

At this moment, Luo Yuqing chimed in, “Actually, using Feifei’s car might not be a bad idea. That way, anyone with ill intentions wouldn’t necessarily be able to track Mrs. Ling’s movements.”

Hearing Luo Yuqing’s comment, Luo Ziling glanced at Ouyang Feifei.

But Ouyang Feifei didn’t say anything further, nor did she leave. She simply stood there with Luo Ziling.

“Why don’t we go sit downstairs for a bit?” Luo Ziling gestured toward the living room. “You didn’t just rush over here from the company, did you?”

“I had some unfinished work, so I was still at the office.” Ouyang Feifei nodded lightly and followed Luo Ziling downstairs. “When Wang Qing reported what happened to your mom, he couldn’t reach you by phone, so we contacted Yang Xiaodong.”

Luo Ziling wasn’t surprised that Yang Xiaodong relayed the matter to Wang Qing, so he had nothing more to say about it.

“What do you think really happened?” After sitting down on the sofa, Ouyang Feifei lowered her voice to ask Luo Ziling, “Who do you think is most likely behind this?”

“Chen Jiahai!” Luo Ziling replied without hesitation.

Ouyang Feifei’s expression froze momentarily, and she asked, “Why do you think that?”

“Because of the argument outside your office last time.”

Ouyang Feifei lowered her head without saying a word.

She knew that if not for her, there might not be so much enmity between Luo Ziling and Chen Jiahai.

Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to apologize.

Luo Yuqing sat to the side, observing Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei with a playful expression, intentionally staying silent.

Seeing Ouyang Feifei quiet, Luo Yuqing’s gaze turned peculiar. Luo Ziling felt slightly awkward and casually asked, “Have you had dinner yet?”

“I was planning to grab some congee after finishing work,” Ouyang Feifei said with a sheepish smile. “I guess I’ll take care of it later.”

“Why not show some gentlemanly manners and cook something for Feifei?” Luo Yuqing finally spoke up. “Your mom was injured, and Feifei and I rushed over anxiously. Feifei hasn’t even eaten dinner yet—shouldn’t you whip up something?”

“Fine, I’ll cook some noodles for you!” Luo Ziling said as he stood up.

“Gross! Can you not make it sound that ambiguous?” Luo Yuqing looked at Luo Ziling like he was an idiot. “As if you don’t know what that phrase means.”

Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Yuqing in confusion, then glanced at Luo Ziling again.

Luo Ziling also looked bewilderedly at the agitated Luo Yuqing but chose to ignore her and headed into the kitchen to prepare noodles for Ouyang Feifei.

“He’s totally taking advantage of you with that phrase ‘I’ll cook noodles for you,'” Luo Yuqing emphasized the word “cook” deliberately.

Ouyang Feifei, who was undoubtedly intelligent, quickly grasped Luo Yuqing’s implication despite having little romantic experience, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

Seeing Ouyang Feifei’s awkward expression, Luo Yuqing didn’t push further, instead pulling out her phone to play on her own.

Ouyang Feifei took the initiative to start speaking to Luo Yuqing, “If you’re free tomorrow, come by my office. There are some things about Qingdao Media that I want to discuss with you in more detail. After all, we’ve already taken over management. While Li Jing is capable of handling everything, after what happened today, it’s better to be cautious and have a contingency plan.”

“Are you saying that Sister Li Jing might also be in trouble?”

“Anything is possible. While we remind her to be careful, we should also prepare ahead.” Ouyang Feifei spoke earnestly.

“Got it. I’ll come over alone tomorrow at noon,” Luo Yuqing agreed readily without further comment.

As they talked, the scent of food wafted out from the kitchen. Luo Yuqing took a couple of deep breaths and then chuckled, “My brother really is thoughtful. A woman who finds a man willing to cook for her is pretty lucky.”

Ouyang Feifei knew that Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin had always been close, a fact made evident during the recent trip to Chang’an. Hearing Luo Yuqing’s words now filled her with some uncertainty.

But Luo Yuqing simply smiled and said no more.

Not long after, Luo Ziling emerged carrying a steaming bowl of noodles, topped with a fried egg. After placing the bowl on the dining table, he called out to Ouyang Feifei, “Eat up! Don’t let yourself get hungry—it should taste decent.”

“What about mine?” Luo Yuqing jumped up from the sofa. “No noodles for me?”

“They’re in the kitchen. Go and get them yourself,” Luo Ziling retorted, shoving away Luo Yuqing, who tried to grab his arm. “Don’t tell me you want me to serve you too?”

“Of course! You can’t play favorites or prioritize romance over family!” Luo Yuqing said as she plopped down on a chair and waved at the slightly uneasy Ouyang Feifei. “Feifei, hurry up and eat. Don’t let his effort go to waste.”

Ouyang Feifei hesitated for a moment but eventually sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks, and began eating the noodles.

Luo Ziling had no choice but to return to the kitchen and bring out half a bowl of noodles with a fried egg for Luo Yuqing.

Luo Yuqing immediately protested, “Clearly, Feifei is more important to you—she gets a full bowl, and I only get half!”

“If you eat a whole bowl, I think your weight might reach terrifying levels,” Luo Ziling retorted.

Luo Yuqing glared at him angrily, “Do you want me to throw these noodles at you to prove my point?”

Ouyang Feifei almost burst out laughing.

“Which of you weighs more?” Luo Ziling ignored Luo Yuqing’s anger, sitting down and asking seriously, “Yuqing, how much do you weigh? Feifei, what about you?”

“Do you really think any girl would answer that question?” Luo Yuqing looked at Luo Ziling as though he were an idiot. “Don’t you know that you should never ask a girl about three things—her weight, her age, or whether she’s wearing makeup?”

“Boring,” Luo Ziling muttered as he glanced from Luo Yuqing to Ouyang Feifei, who was gracefully eating her noodles. He seemed to want to say something but held back.

At this moment, Wuyue’s figure appeared outside. Luo Ziling quickly stood up and went out to find him.
