Chapter 1600: Chapter 1600: This Woman’s Ambition

Yang Qingyin was texting Ye Xiaoli, asking her to find out from Wang Zhenjun what exactly they weren’t told.

Unfortunately for her, Ye Xiaoli didn’t provide any useful information, which left her a bit frustrated.

“Luo Ziling, do you really not want to tell me anything?” As she prepared to leave, Yang Qingyin looked at Luo Ziling with a hint of displeasure.

“I said there’s nothing to worry about. Anyway, I’ll bring gifts back for you,” Luo Ziling laughed, “Go home and rest early; I’m going to rest too.”

Yang Qingyin didn’t ask anything further and walked into the campus with Luo Yuqing.

“Young master, Yang Qingyin asked Ye Xiaoli to snoop around, but I kept my mouth shut and didn’t tell them anything,” Wang Zhenjun, responsible for Luo Ziling’s safety today, chuckled as he got into the car, “I didn’t let you down this time, did I?”

Luo Ziling ignored Wang Zhenjun, ordering him to start driving.

Upon hearing that Luo Ziling wouldn’t be going home but to another location instead, Wang Zhenjun was a bit surprised.

But this time, he managed to hold his tongue and didn’t ask any questions.

While the car was on the road, Luo Ziling took out his phone and called Wang Feiyang, asking where she was.

After hearing the location from her, Luo Ziling directly instructed Wang Zhenjun to drive there.

“Another date, huh?” Wang Zhenjun said to Luo Ziling with envy, “The young master’s nightlife is really colorful.”

“If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute,” Luo Ziling retorted irritably.

Wang Zhenjun chuckled and shut up.

The place where Wang Feiyang had arranged to meet Luo Ziling was a café about five kilometers away from the school.

When Luo Ziling entered the private room, Wang Feiyang, with her hair braided into a large plait and dressed in a tight sweater that accentuated her figure, was sitting inside leisurely sipping coffee. Wang Feiyang was already a great beauty, and today she’d gone out of her way to dress up, making her appear even more dazzling.

“I say, beauty,” Luo Ziling sat down in front of Wang Feiyang, “Drinking coffee at midnight, aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to sleep?”

“I’m used to it,” Wang Feiyang raised her pretty eyebrows and smiled, gesturing for Luo Ziling to sit down. After he sat, she asked, “What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?”

“No thanks, I don’t want to drink something refreshing before going to sleep,” Luo Ziling declined, “Get me a cup of milk tea, please.”

“I somehow feel our genders are reversed,” Wang Feiyang giggled, “Isn’t milk tea usually a girl’s drink?”

“I’ve studied medicine since I was little; I know how to maintain health. Staying up late is exhausting, and you shouldn’t drink something stimulating before sleep,” Luo Ziling said, taking the coffee from in front of Wang Feiyang, “You should have a cup of milk tea too; it helps promote sleep.”

Actually, Luo Ziling and Wang Feiyang weren’t very familiar with each other, having only met two or three times in total.

Ling Ruonan and Li Jiawei were quite familiar, and their families could be counted as having a long-standing relationship, but as their descendants, Luo Ziling and Wang Feiyang hadn’t interacted much.

However, the relationship between Luo Ziling and Wang Feiyang wasn’t quite distant either; Wang Feiyang was quite warm and proactive, and dealing with such a girl didn’t feel stressful.

“Alright, I’ll go with your suggestion then,” Wang Feiyang wasn’t angry when Luo Ziling domineeringly took her coffee away, and she listened to his advice.

After the two cups of milk tea were served, Wang Feiyang brought up another topic: “I heard you’re going to Japan with an exchange group tomorrow?”

“Why are you interested in this too?” Luo Ziling felt strange and curiously asked, “Didn’t you say earlier you were going back?”

Luo Ziling remembered that when Ling Ruonan was in a car accident and Li Jiawei brought Wang Feiyang to visit, Wang Feiyang had said she was going back to school. Surprising, with so many days past since the start of school, she hadn’t gone back and was still in the country.

“I decided to stay a bit longer. It’s lively in the country, and there’s good drama to watch; why not watch a bit more?” Wang Feiyang looked at Luo Ziling with a playful smile, “I really didn’t realize you could be such a talented and visionary person.”

Luo Ziling choked on the milk tea he just drank, “I say, you’re a college student, stop misusing idioms, alright? Your Chinese teacher would be driven crazy by you.”

“I’m not wrong, though. I think you’re a talented and visionary person,” Wang Feiyang nodded earnestly, “Can’t you see? Recently, those big figures have been spun around by you, and so many eyes are on you; countless people already see you as a person of importance. At least my dad and mom do!”

“I can’t accept such high praise,” Luo Ziling looked seriously at Wang Feiyang, “I’m just a pawn moved around by others, but without a pawn’s awareness, so many people laugh at me.”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this,” Wang Feiyang seemed a bit let down and said, “I actually called you out at midnight because I wanted to discuss something with you.”

“I know,” Luo Ziling wasn’t surprised, “You mentioned it in the text message.”

“In the future, I want to follow my father and enter politics.”

“Haha, not bad,” Luo Ziling gave a thumbs up, “You’re quite suited for politics; I think you’ll definitely achieve something. You’re a military officer’s daughter, no less.”

“But my father’s influence will gradually diminish after he steps down, not matching the deeply rooted families like yours.”

“You’re talking about me?” Luo Ziling pointed to himself and laughed, “Our Luo Family counts as nothing in terms of deeply rooted heritage.”

“Don’t use vulgar language in front of me,” Wang Feiyang frowned, “Understood?”

“Why all these restrictions? Say whatever you want,” Luo Ziling didn’t mind, “If you think I’m rude, you don’t have to talk to me!”

“Don’t be so petty,” Wang Feiyang lifted her head to look at Luo Ziling, “Indeed, your Luo Family doesn’t count as a major family, but the families related to you, the Ling Family, Yang Family, Fang Family, have profoundly deep roots. Your relationship with these families is quite extraordinary; no one can compare to you.”

“I say, when you’re buttering me up, at least use a bit of body language. Don’t be so serious, or I won’t feel flattered.”

“You have thick skin.”

“Bold, meticulous, thick-skinned, these are considered to be the three elements of success by many.”

“That’s probably the way many summarize the art of flirting!” Wang Feiyang looked at him with disdain.

“I don’t need them; I often get flirted with by girls,” Luo Ziling pointed to his face, “Who wouldn’t be attracted to such a handsome face?”

Wang Feiyang couldn’t help but giggle, “Indeed, just your face and figure could make many girls fall for you. Add to that your family background, and few women in the world can resist you.”

“After all those preambles, can you finally say what you intended?”

“I want to collaborate with you so that we may succeed together. I’m willing to pay any price. I admire Empress Wu Zetian!”

Wang Feiyang’s words left Luo Ziling stunned.
