Chapter 1584: Chapter 1584: Someone is Tracking Again

Luo Ziling didn’t say anything more, and Chen Xiaoyi kept her head down in silence.

After the two of them had quietly remained silent for about ten minutes, it was Luo Ziling who spoke first: “Go home tonight?”

Chen Xiaoyi nodded, got up, and started to get dressed and pack her things.

Luo Ziling said nothing, standing aside watching her pack her things, put on clothes, and comb her hair.

After she had packed her belongings, she pulled up her suitcase and walked toward the door without a word.

When she reached the door, just as she was about to pull it open, she paused and turned to look at Luo Ziling, her gaze complicated.

“I have nothing more to say. Do you have anything to say to me?” she asked softly.

Luo Ziling walked over to Chen Xiaoyi, reached out to embrace her, and pulled her into his arms.

Chen Xiaoyi did not resist and instead leaned against Luo Ziling’s shoulder, silently shedding tears.

After quietly leaning against him for a few minutes, she wiped away her tears and left without looking back.

Luo Ziling instructed Yang Xiaodong to have two people follow Chen Xiaoyi until she safely reached home.

After Chen Xiaoyi left, Luo Ziling also checked out of the room and left.

When he returned home, Ling Ruonan and the others had already finished dinner and were sitting in the living room chatting.

Seeing Luo Ziling return, they immediately stopped talking.

“You’re back?” Luo Yuqing ran to Luo Ziling’s side and, after sniffing the scent on him, frowned and said, “You went on a date with another woman again?”

“Chen Xiaoyi came back,” Luo Ziling said in a voice everyone could hear. “She called me as soon as she got to the airport and wanted to talk to me about something.”

“What did you two talk about?” Ling Ruonan asked with a frown.

“Nothing, she went home by herself,” Luo Ziling answered truthfully. “When she got off the plane, she hadn’t slept or eaten for two days. She was very exhausted, so I took her to have lunch and then got her a room to take a nap. Now, she’s gone home.”

“Poor woman,” Luo Yuqing sighed softly, “No one feels worse than she does.”

Luo Yuqing naturally knew Chen Xiaoyi was pursuing Luo Ziling.

In fact, she quite admired Chen Xiaoyi’s character because their personalities were somewhat similar.

However, because Chen Xiaoyi wanted to pursue Luo Ziling, and Luo Yuqing also had an interest, she just did not engage with her.

Later, when Chen Xiaoyi went abroad, they interacted even less.

But Luo Yuqing could sense how bad Chen Xiaoyi’s mood was now.

On one side was her own brother, and on the other was the man she liked—who might have caused her brother’s death. Being caught in the middle, facing such a situation, Luo Yuqing could imagine the kind of mood she would be in, that feeling of going crazy.

“Alright, try to have less contact with her,” Ling Ruonan patted Luo Ziling’s arm. “Anyway, you guys barely see each other now. After this incident, she’ll definitely go abroad again, and things will just fade away. It would be good for both of you.”

Luo Ziling nodded lightly. He understood that Chen Jiahai’s death was like a long river separating their relationship, one that no one could cross.

These days, Luo Ziling had been sleeping here at night to protect her safety, and Luo Yuqing herself knew this, so she did not resist.

Being able to stay with Ling Ruonan, Luo Liansheng, and Luo Ziling, she was quite happy.

To be honest, Luo Yuqing was a very open-minded girl. She didn’t like going home but enjoyed staying at Ling Ruonan’s place.

During this period, she didn’t have anywhere to go back to. Her mother, Wu Ningjing, was still traveling and hadn’t returned, so she had nowhere to go even if she wanted to.

However, Luo Ziling knew that Luo Yuqing said this for her own future.

She wanted to achieve something, and even more, wanted to become the pillar of the Luo Family, hoping to match Ling Ruonan to become a legendary woman.

Therefore, she often viewed problems pragmatically and solved them with a realistic attitude.

She was also very lucky to have met people like Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling, and to have a grandfather who treated her as his own.

Luo Ziling went back to his room to take a shower, intending to think about some things while bathing.

Unexpectedly, before he finished his shower, Luo Yuqing was calling for him outside.

When Luo Ziling came out with wet hair, having changed his clothes, Luo Yuqing was still standing in his room.

“Wang Jiayi from Wen Yue just called, saying she wants to meet again tonight to discuss it. If there are no objections, they want to sign the cooperation contract,” Luo Yuqing stated directly. “I originally wanted to go alone, but Mrs. Ling and Grandpa were worried and wanted you to accompany me.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling nodded and then asked, “We should definitely call along Dai Shulan, right?”

“Yes, I’ve already arranged with her!”

“How about at the coffee shop by the school gate? It’s more convenient.”

Luo Yuqing didn’t refuse and agreed to Luo Ziling’s arrangement.

Half an hour later, Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing met Dai Shulan at the school gate, and the three of them headed to the appointed coffee house.

“If nothing unexpected happens, we can sign the contract tonight,” Luo Yuqing asked Dai Shulan, “If tonight the website signs your physical publishing contract, and also the film and television contract, are you excited?”

“Of course,” Dai Shulan blushed with a smile, “I surely won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

Today, Dai Shulan was dressed very beautifully. She wore a long skirt and a top resembling ancient attire, with two long braided pigtails, exuding an indescribably pure charm that even distracted Luo Ziling couldn’t help looking twice.

Noticing Luo Ziling’s curious gaze, Dai Shulan’s cheeks turned pink instantly.

Luo Yuqing noticed Dai Shulan’s unusual expression and couldn’t help but pinch her.

“Are you just overly happy, or is it because you saw a handsome guy?” Luo Yuqing whispered in Dai Shulan’s ear, “I’ve never seen you look like such a fangirl before. I’m not wrong, am I?”

“Yuqing,” Dai Shulan couldn’t help but retort with a pinch, “You only know how to make fun of me. I’m just excited, not being a fangirl.”

“Then why are you looking at my brother?”

“I just felt he was a bit odd today, different from usual.”

“He encountered some troublesome things and is handling them,” Luo Yuqing sighed.

“Really?” Dai Shulan was a bit surprised.

But Luo Yuqing didn’t elaborate much.

Luo Ziling was unaware of what the two women were whispering about, still feeling slightly absent-minded.

On their way to the coffee house, Luo Ziling received a message from Yang Xiaodong: “Someone’s tracking us again, should we take them down?”

“Take them down,” angered by the continual stalking, Luo Ziling immediately replied, “Teach them a lesson, and be firm.”

“Understood!”

Luo Ziling pondered for a moment before sending another message: “If they’re from a special department, be measured. If not, give them a severe lesson.”

Yang Xiaodong replied with an “OK” gesture.
