Chapter 1590: Chapter 1590: Comforting Her

Yang Qingyin saying that, Luo Ziling knew, she really believed what Yang Yunlin said.

Yang Yunlin had said such words, and Luo Ziling originally thought Yang Qingyin wouldn’t take them seriously.

Unexpectedly, she actually agreed.

This made Luo Ziling quite regretful and also a bit disappointed.

Luo Ziling’s direct expression made Yang Qingyin’s heart sink, she was silent for quite a while without speaking.

“I’m sorry, I was just joking,” although Yang Qingyin knew the apology was useless, she still said sorry, and after apologizing, she added, “I know you wouldn’t treat me like this, at most, you’re just not capable of being devoted.”

Yang Qingyin’s rebuke after her apology left Luo Ziling speechless.

Yang Qingyin didn’t say anything else, said goodnight, and hung up the phone.

Luo Ziling stood there with his phone, dazed for a long while.

A bit annoyed, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, then finally tossed the phone and prepared to sleep.

But just as he tossed the phone, a WeChat notification sounded again.

“Why didn’t you say a single word of concern?” The message was from Chen Xiaoyi.

Seeing this message on the phone, Luo Ziling froze again.

He didn’t know how to reply.

After pondering for a while, he finally responded hesitantly: “Afraid of adding to your troubles.”

“I want to drink, can you come out and drink with me?”

“Don’t drink,” Luo Ziling was startled, “You’re still not mentally recovered, don’t drink. Also, if your family sees us together, it’ll turn into a huge mess.”

Chen Xiaoyi didn’t reply further.

Luo Ziling kept holding the phone, waiting. After ten minutes without seeing any new messages, he knew nothing would come in anymore.

After some thought, he still sent another message: “After everything is settled, go back to Europe early, relax a bit, stay away from the place of trouble.”

But still, he didn’t get a reply from Chen Xiaoyi.

However, he saw a WeChat Moment posted by Chen Xiaoyi two minutes ago.

A picture of her silhouette from behind, with the caption: “Stay away from the place of trouble…”

Seeing this picture, Luo Ziling breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to go to sleep when he received a message from Ling Ruonan.

“Ling’er, are you asleep?”

Luo Ziling quickly replied: “Not yet. Why aren’t you asleep?”

“I haven’t slept well these days.”

“Then I’ll come over and give you a massage.”

“Okay,” Ling Ruonan did not refuse.

Luo Ziling put on his pajamas, walked to Ling Ruonan’s door, and gently knocked before pushing the door open.

As he pushed open Ling Ruonan’s room door, the bedside lamp in the room turned on.

Luo Ziling saw Ling Ruonan in her pajamas, sitting against the headboard.

After seeing him come in, she sat up straight and beckoned him over.

“Mom, you want to talk to me, don’t you?” Luo Ziling sat next to Ling Ruonan’s bed and directly asked, “I know you want to ask me some things. Go ahead, ask whatever you want! You lie down, and I’ll give you a massage while we talk.”

Ling Ruonan obediently lay down, face down, with her head slightly propped up on the pillow to facilitate talking.

“Just now you caught a person from the intelligence department, tell me about the details,” Ling Ruonan hadn’t yet started massaging when she first asked about the situation.

“Okay,” Luo Ziling knew Ling Ruonan was uneasy and finally recounted what had just happened.

“You actually thought about forcing their superior to call?” Ling Ruonan was extremely surprised.

Luo Ziling, when briefly explaining the situation after returning, did not mention this matter. Hearing Luo Ziling bring it up now, Ling Ruonan was very shocked. This little guy, he’s too bold to dare to play such a trick.

“I figured, since they were instructed by someone to do this, they surely feared exposure, and regardless of the department, there are conflicts. If such matters are known to their planners or opponents, they certainly won’t miss the opportunity.” Luo Ziling said with a smile, “Unexpectedly, they actually backed down after a fright. Hehe, I believe they know our capabilities and won’t act too rashly anymore. Mom, for the time being, we can relax our defenses a little. The threat from the secret department probably won’t exist anymore, at least not so blatantly.”

“Never let your guard down,” Ling Ruonan sighed, then added, “These days I’ve had people watching the police’s investigation, and so far, they’re following your intended direction, at least on the surface. Just hope nothing unexpected happens in the future.”

“Mom, it shouldn’t. And after this incident, no one would dare underestimate us. I think, whether it’s our opponents or enemies, they’ll look at us with new eyes.” Luo Ziling said, happily smiling, “I think my reputation will also grow quite a bit. In the future, those who want to deal with me won’t act so easily.”

Ling Ruonan, unwilling to dampen Luo Ziling’s spirits, didn’t throw any cold water, only instructed Luo Ziling to never lose his head and be careful in everything.

“The day after tomorrow you’ll travel abroad. Tomorrow evening, we’ll go to your grandparents’ house for dinner,” Ling Ruonan laid out her plan and then explained, “I think they definitely have things to say to you, especially your grandfather.”

“Grandpa didn’t say he’d go with me?” Luo Ziling was surprised.

“I told him not to meet your grandfather temporarily. I’m afraid they’ll start arguing.”

“Grandpa agreed?”

Ling Ruonan sighed, “He wasn’t very willing, but… eventually agreed.”

“Grandpa is angry.”

“Yes!” Ling Ruonan smiled bitterly, “I think he’s definitely going to find your grandfather to express his displeasure. I can see he’s been holding back these days. If you have even a slight accident, he’d immediately take action.”

Luo Ziling smiled wryly, “Maybe letting them argue once would work. Sigh, if Grandpa took action personally, many people would not be able to live well, or even live at all.”

“Maybe, but not now. Now it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble. I discussed it with him for quite a while before he agreed,” Ling Ruonan again smiled bitterly, “Additionally, when Chen Xiaoyi returns, you must find a chance to comfort her, don’t let her cause any trouble. Do you understand? No matter what, don’t let her make any trouble at this moment. If a woman loses her mind, the things she does can be terrible.”

Hearing Ling Ruonan’s instructions, Luo Ziling eventually nodded, “Then I’ll go find her tomorrow.”

Ling Ruonan softly said again, “Chen Jiahai’s memorial service is the day after tomorrow, since our relationship with him wasn’t great, let’s not go, and avoid any unpleasantness. By the time of the memorial service, you should already be on the plane.”

“I understand!”

Ling Ruonan said no more, starting to enjoy Luo Ziling’s massage.

After about twenty minutes of massage, Ling Ruonan’s breathing became steady, and she fell peacefully asleep.

Luo Ziling turned her body over, covered her with the blanket, and then gently left the room.

After returning to his room, Luo Ziling picked up his phone and sent Chen Xiaoyi a message: “I’m traveling to Tokyo with the group the day after tomorrow morning. If you have the time and feel like it, may I treat you to lunch tomorrow?”

After sending this message, Luo Ziling felt a bit anxious.

He wasn’t afraid of Chen Xiaoyi refusing, but most feared that she wouldn’t reply at all.

The most torturous thing is waiting, and Luo Ziling absolutely hated waiting.

Around ten minutes after sending the message, a WeChat notification sounded.

To Luo Ziling at that moment, the sound was incredibly sweet, and he quickly picked up his phone.

“Okay!” The message contained only one word and an exclamation mark.

Luo Ziling stared at this message with just one word and a symbol for a long time, feeling very mixed emotions inside.
