Chapter 1594: Chapter 1594: It’s Just Temporary

“Hey, classmate Yang Qingyin, can you help me scrub properly?”

“Why do you have no strength at all? Can’t you just give me a good massage? I’ve helped you so many times, is it too much to ask you to do it for me once?”

“Come on, don’t pinch me. Just give me a few punches instead.”

“Whoa, biting me now? That’s too much!”

“If you keep messing around, I’ll pull you in here.”

In the bathroom, Luo Ziling’s complaints never stopped.

Under his insistence, Yang Qingyin finally agreed to help him bathe, but on the condition that she wouldn’t undress.

Yang Qingyin was willing to help him scrub, so naturally, Luo Ziling was very happy. He immediately filled the bathtub with water, took off his clothes leaving only his underwear, and jumped in, then called Yang Qingyin over to scrub his back.

But to his dismay, although she agreed to help him bathe, Yang Qingyin didn’t cooperate at all and kept causing trouble.

His body had several bruises from her pinching, and when he tried to take advantage of her, she actually tried to bite him.

Ultimately, Yang Qingyin fled the bathroom after getting her clothes all wet.

After soaking happily for a while, Luo Ziling finally got out of the bathtub.

Yang Qingyin had his change of clothes ready. When he was done bathing and came out, Yang Qingyin had already prepared his clothes for him to change.

“A bit like a virtuous wife now,” Luo Ziling praised Yang Qingyin while getting dressed, “Didn’t expect it, you do have the potential to be a virtuous wife.”

Yang Qingyin kicked Luo Ziling lightly with her foot, “If you keep mocking me like this, I won’t bother with you anymore.”

“I’m complimenting you, why do you say it’s mocking?” Luo Ziling looked innocent, “You just don’t recognize kindness.”

“Alright, sit down, I’ll blow-dry your hair,” Yang Qingyin pinched Luo Ziling, “You’re going to your grandpa’s for dinner tonight, right? Dress up nicely, maybe they won’t scold you.”

“I wanted to have dinner with you tonight,” Luo Ziling looked regretful.

“Once you’re done, I’ll treat you to a late-night snack.”

“Okay,” Luo Ziling was immediately delighted, “Then I’ll eat less dinner and wait for your late-night treat.”

After some tender moments, Luo Ziling left to meet Ling Ruonan at Northern Group.

When Luo Ziling arrived at Northern Group’s headquarters, Ling Ruonan was meeting a guest.

Upon hearing that Ling Ruonan was having a meeting, Luo Ziling didn’t interrupt, staying outside and chatting with Wuyue.

Because they were at the company, they didn’t hide in a corner, so they didn’t discuss anything secret.

“Who’s visiting my mom?” Luo Ziling asked casually.

“Your aunt Wu Yanning,” Wuyue replied without hiding anything, telling Luo Ziling who the visitor was.

“Wu Yanning?” Luo Ziling was very surprised, “Isn’t she in Yangcheng accompanying Ling Haining?”

“I heard she rushed over from Yangcheng,” Wuyue looked at Luo Ziling oddly, “It must be something important.”

“Guess I’ll go in and interrupt,” Luo Ziling said, winking playfully at Wuyue.

Wuyue didn’t stop him and let Luo Ziling go.

Luo Ziling walked to Ling Ruonan’s office, knocked on the door gently, then spoke to announce his presence, “Mom, it’s me, can I come in?”

“Come in,” Ling Ruonan’s voice echoed from inside.

Luo Ziling opened the door and went in.

Pushing the door open, he saw Ling Ruonan in professional attire talking with Wu Yanning, who looked a bit worn out.

Seeing Luo Ziling enter, Wu Yanning stood up and greeted him with a smile, “Ziling, your aunt was just talking to your mom about you.”

From Wu Yanning’s self-reference as “aunt,” Luo Ziling sensed something different.

Today’s visit from Wu Yanning was not to confront them but to seek help.

Even if it wasn’t help, it was meant to show goodwill.

Thus, he felt relieved.

“Aunt, didn’t you go to Yangcheng a few days ago?” Luo Ziling expressed his doubt, then awkwardly added, “I haven’t had time to visit Haining cousin!”

Saying this, Luo Ziling himself felt awkward, wondering when he became so insincere.

“Haining’s situation stabilized after surgery, in a few days, he’ll be preparing to return to Yanjing,” Wu Yanning said with a sigh, “Thankfully, no vital organs were harmed, nor will there be any lasting after-effects.”

“A blessing in disguise,” Ling Ruonan glanced at Luo Ziling, expressing the sentiment with Wu Yanning, and then said to Luo Ziling, “Your aunt is here today to ask you to help treat Haining. The initial treatment was in Yangcheng, but for further recuperation, she wants him back in Yanjing. Knowing your medical skills are good, she hopes you can help with Haining’s treatment.”

While saying this, Ling Ruonan also winked at Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling felt absurd but didn’t show any reaction in front of Ling Ruonan and Wu Yanning, nor did he immediately agree.

He appeared troubled and said, “Aunt, I’m certainly willing to help cousin Haining, but I’m going abroad for a visit tomorrow and don’t know when I’ll be back.”

“Your mom mentioned this,” Wu Yanning obviously relaxed, “That’s not a problem as Haining won’t be returning to Yanjing immediately; he needs at least a week’s rest for his physical condition to stabilize post-surgery before he can travel long distances.”

“If you were in Yangcheng, that’d be great,” Ling Ruonan laughed, “You could help with the treatment then.”

“Yanjing is too far from Yangcheng, and you have important matters; I wouldn’t dare bother you,” Wu Yanning chuckled, “Once Haining returns to Yanjing and you help with the treatment, I’ll be relieved. Your medical skills are amazing, the old man is so lively now thanks to your care; you’re like Hua Tuo reborn.”

“Sister-in-law, you’re flattering him too much,” Ling Ruonan laughed genuinely. Having someone praise her son made her happy, “He’s just been lucky.”

“Lucky indeed, but without amazing medical skills, how could he have cured the old man’s illness?”

“I’ll help cousin Haining once I return,” Luo Ziling agreed, “I hope his father doesn’t blame me for not willing to help.”

He still didn’t call Ling Zhengping uncle.

“No worries, your agreement is my relief,” Wu Yanning didn’t press further on Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan, “You’ll be having dinner at dad’s later, it’s about time, let’s go, I’ll join to pay respects.”

“Okay, let’s go,” Ling Ruonan nodded in agreement.

Wu Yanning had her own car, so she didn’t ride with Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling.

After getting in the car, Luo Ziling asked Ling Ruonan with a puzzled look, “Why did she come to you?”

“What do you think?” Ling Ruonan didn’t answer directly but asked Luo Ziling back.

After thinking, Luo Ziling replied, “Firstly, they don’t consider Ling Haining was harmed by us; secondly, she wants to make peace, hoping that I help Ling Haining with treatment.”

“Yes, it’s nearly those two points,” Ling Ruonan didn’t deny, “If one day Ling Zhengping also shows goodwill towards us, it could mean the internal threats from the Ling Family are temporarily weakened.”

“Yes, but temporarily only!”

Seeing Luo Ziling grasp her points, Ling Ruonan smiled again with relief.
