Chapter 1796: Chapter 1796: Marry You?

After the mother and son chatted for a while at the Northern Group headquarters, Koizumi Miyaning arrived.

Ling Ruonan brought Luo Ziling with her to the Northern Group headquarters, primarily to meet Koizumi Miyaning.

“Mr. Koizumi, I’m really sorry,” Luo Ziling stood up and extended his hand to Koizumi Miyaning as he entered, explaining his absence over the past few days, “While treating someone, I got injured due to interference. So, I’ve been recuperating and haven’t been able to meet with Mr. Koizumi.”

“Mr. Luo, you’re too kind,” Koizumi Miyaning wasn’t too concerned. He knew the reason from the day Ling Ruonan had to leave the dinner abruptly. He wasn’t an outsider to traditional medicine, and understood that Luo Ziling’s injury wouldn’t be minor this time.

He had even considered that he might not have the chance to meet Luo Ziling again.

Though the visit didn’t allow much time to converse with Luo Ziling, there was considerable exchange with Ling Ruonan, as both parties decided to seek further discussions for cooperation.

When Koizumi Miyaning shared the matter with his family, he was instructed to forge connections with these top Huaxia elite families for significant benefits. Thus, Koizumi Miyaning decisively prioritized this second task. Afterwards, he actively arranged another meeting with Ling Ruonan to continue discussions about cooperation.

This time, he didn’t come alone to find Ling Ruonan, but brought a companion.

This companion, Tanaka Shichikang, is a crucial figure within the Koizumi Family. Tanaka Shichikang is the person responsible for Huaxia affairs in the Koizumi Family, specially traveling from Tokyo following Koizumi Miyaning’s report to the family.

Northern Group is a renowned Huaxia enterprise with an established reputation globally, though prior to this, the Koizumi Family hadn’t partnered with the Northern Group. Upon evaluating the Northern Group, Koizumi’s family realized there could be numerous areas of cooperation, including connections with Huaxia’s upper echelon through the Northern Group. Recognizing Northern Group’s stature in Huaxia, their interest intensified.

Koizumi Miyaning wasn’t very proficient in economic cooperation and wasn’t particularly interested; his main interest lay in medical matters.

After a brief exchange, he intentionally headed to the adjacent room with Luo Ziling to discuss medical topics, while Ling Ruonan talked about cooperation matters with Tanaka Shichikang in the next room.

Koizumi Miyaning was most curious about Luo Ziling’s method and medical principle used in treating Paraquat poisoning.

To facilitate communication, he brought along a translator.

The translator was a Huaxia doctor working in Japan, proficient in Chinese and Japanese, as well as medicine, making the exchange smoother. Luo Ziling also shared his treatment philosophy with Koizumi Miyaning, but reminded him that it was a specific case, and effectiveness on other patients was unknown.

Koizumi Miyaning believed Luo Ziling was being modest; he clearly remembered the confidence Luo Ziling showed when facing the Japanese Ministry of Health officials during his visit to Japan. If Luo Ziling wasn’t confident in treating Paraquat poisoning patients, he wouldn’t have said so.

Therefore, he trusted that Luo Ziling had cured such patients many times before and had extensive experience.

He recorded everything Luo Ziling said and asked him if he minded co-authoring when he prepared to publish the article. After thinking it over, Luo Ziling didn’t refuse and agreed to have his name included.

When Luo Ziling and Koizumi Miyaning completed their exchange, Ling Ruonan and Tanaka Yasuqichi were still conversing.

Ling Ruonan understood Japanese, while Tanaka Yasuqichi spoke fluent Chinese, so their communication had no barriers.

Seeing Koizumi Miyaning and Luo Ziling finishing their discussion, Tanaka Yasuqichi sensibly ended the topic, stood up, and left with Koizumi Miyaning. As they departed, he expressed anticipation for the next exchange with Ling Ruonan and expressed willingness to see broader cooperation between the two parties.

“Through cooperation, obtain some relations involving national secrets and core interests, and place some individuals in Japan to steal Japanese intelligence.” After seeing Koizumi Miyaning and Tanaka Yasuqichi off, Ling Ruonan discussed some rather confidential matters with Luo Ziling: “Dragon Rise already collaborates with us. When your father arrives, cooperation will be further expanded. I need to prepare ahead and make some arrangements for him.”

“Mom, you’re truly a good helper. Dad is so lucky to have married a wife like you.”

“Flattery,” Ling Ruonan gently tapped Luo Ziling’s head, seeing him smiling cheekily, “Okay, you go ahead. I still have some matters to handle. I’ll probably get home late tonight, and I’ll have the hotel arrange to send dinner.”

“Mom, I can cook once I get back. I’m perfectly capable of handling dinner, not to mention Yuqing will help.”

“Alright,” after thinking for a bit, Ling Ruonan didn’t refuse, but still reminded Luo Ziling not to overexert himself.

On his way leaving the Northern Group, Luo Ziling received a call from Yang Qingyin.

“Junior, I’m free now. Can I come find you for a chat?” On the phone, Ling Ruonan’s voice was very gentle.

“Of course, no problem,” Luo Ziling couldn’t possibly refuse, “I’ve just returned from the Northern Group, planning to buy some groceries at the market and cook dinner. Why don’t we go grocery shopping together, and you join us for dinner too?”

Yang Qingyin hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn’t refuse. “Okay, then I’ll come over to meet you.”

Half an hour later, the two met at the nearest vegetable market to where Ling Ruonan lived.

“Let’s go buy groceries together. Whatever you want to say, we can talk while shopping,” Luo Ziling said with a smile, taking Yang Qingyin’s hand.

Yang Qingyin was a bit surprised but didn’t pull away, walking hand in hand with Luo Ziling into the market.

Yang Qingyin had been to the supermarket with Luo Ziling before, but this was the first time she visited a grocery market. Faced with the chaotic vegetable market, she felt a bit at a loss, but Luo Ziling was enjoying himself, leading Yang Qingyin back and forth among the vegetable stalls.

“Why aren’t you discussing anything now?” After buying a few groceries, Luo Ziling curiously asked Yang Qingyin, “Surely you had something to tell me?”

“Suddenly, I don’t feel like talking anymore,” Yang Qingyin smiled, squeezing Luo Ziling’s hand tightly, “Seeing so many people here shopping, somehow I gained a peculiar insight.”

“What kind of insight?”

“Many times, the simple life of one dish and soup feels extraordinarily warm.”

“I haven’t even cooked yet, and you’re already touched? If I prepared a whole table of dishes for you, wouldn’t you be moved to tears then?”

“Hmph!” Yang Qingyin snorted charmingly, rolling her eyes, “You’re trying to make me a chubby girl by cooking a whole table of dishes?”

“If you’re deeply moved, then seriously thank me. Without me, you wouldn’t even come to a vegetable market.”

“How should I thank you? Marry you?”

Seeing Yang Qingyin say this with a candid look, Luo Ziling was suddenly stunned.
