Chapter 1842: Chapter 1842: You Need to Be Careful

Luo Ziling thought for a moment and then came up with what he believed to be a pretty good idea: “Let Ling Haining and Ling Haijun come and work for me, at my command.”

Ling Ruonan hesitated slightly after hearing this and asked in return, “Do you think you can command them?”

“Shouldn’t be a problem,” Luo Ziling said confidently, “They’re just two no-getters.”

“Alright, I’ll let Ling Haijun and Ling Haining help you out. Anyway, you don’t have many people around who can do things for you,” Ling Ruonan promised, then immediately reminded him, “But remember, you must be cautious and prevent them from messing things up at crucial times.”

“I’ll educate them well,” Luo Ziling wasn’t worried about this point, “I’ll let them live with those other eight people, encourage mutual assistance, mutual learning, and let them improve together.”

Ling Ruonan understood what good improvement meant, but didn’t comment: “Let’s not talk about it now. When you return to Yanjing, Mom will discuss this matter with you thoroughly. When are you returning to Yanjing?”

“I’m planning to visit Yuezhou tomorrow to see our family’s old mansion, and see how beautiful it is in spring.”

“Alright, return to Yanjing early; there are still many things waiting for you to do. The public service advertisement filming needs to be completed as soon as possible. Also, you can’t skip classes often, it doesn’t reflect well on your image. In the past few days, there have been several such posts questioning how a student like you can frequently skip classes and what your exam results look like,” Ling Ruonan reminded seriously.

“Mom, I understand, I’ll come back early; after all, it’s not like I’m eloping.”

Ling Ruonan was silent for a moment, then reminded again: “Be careful, don’t cause a big mess.”

Luo Ziling laughed: “Mom, I’ve prepared enough precautions; you’ve sent people again, there won’t be a problem.”

“I’m referring to other aspects,” Ling Ruonan lowered her voice, “Take proper contraceptive measures, don’t let Yang Qingyin get pregnant.”

Unexpectedly, the safety measures Ling Ruonan referred to were like this, Luo Ziling was dumbfounded.

However, he couldn’t explain further, so he just mumbled his agreement.

Ling Ruonan said no more and hung up the phone.

The call between them lasted a long time, and when it ended, Yang Qingyin had already finished her bath and emerged.

“Finished the call?” Yang Qingyin asked curiously as she dried her hair with a towel, “You actually talked for half an hour, discussed a lot?”

“My mom wants us to be careful.”

“What do you mean?” Yang Qingyin couldn’t help but frown, “Is someone plotting against us again!”

“No!”

“Then what?” Yang Qingyin was a bit curious.

“She wants us to be careful in that aspect.”

Yang Qingyin paused, then understood what Luo Ziling meant, and blushed all of a sudden.

Luo Ziling’s arm suffered naturally, pinched so hard by Yang Qingyin it turned greenish-blue.

“Annoying junior, what nonsense did you and your mom talk about?” Yang Qingyin continued pinching Luo Ziling a few more times and said with some dissatisfaction, “Did you also tell her that soon she’ll be a grandmother?”

“No, I didn’t say that, I told her we are pure, but who knows why she doesn’t believe,” Luo Ziling said, looking innocent.

As a result, he got pinched twice again by Yang Qingyin.

Yang Qingyin knew well that no one would believe they’re just hanging out together without such things happening.

She felt that her father Yang Yunlin, mother Chen Qiaoyu, and those knowing about their whereabouts definitely think they’ve reached that intimate stage—a relationship akin to an old married couple.

If they claimed nothing of the sort happened between them, probably no one would believe it.

“All because of you,” thinking about it, Yang Qingyin kicked Luo Ziling, “Compensate me for my reputation.”

Luo Ziling grabbed hold of Yang Qingyin’s foot and pulled her into his arms, taking advantage for a while before releasing her.

Having walked a lot today, Yang Qingyin was already tired, and even more so after her bath, so after drying her hair, she asked Luo Ziling for a massage before sleep. After just a few minutes of Luo Ziling’s massage, she fell asleep peacefully.

Meanwhile, Luo Ziling did not immediately go to sleep. He left Yang Qingyin’s room and called Wuyue.

It seemed Wuyue expected Luo Ziling’s call, as she showed no surprise when answering.

“Tell me what you know,” Luo Ziling skipped formalities and directly inquired.

Wuyue didn’t hold back, sharing what she knew with Luo Ziling.

Wuyue informed Luo Ziling that today Ling Ruonan made ample arrangements, enhancing oversight over the Northern Group’s finances and network security. This precautionary action aimed to prevent Ling Zhengping from making irrational decisions when at his worst.

Today, Ling Ruonan first took Ling Haijun to visit Ling Mingrui, then went to visit Ling Jinhua, but didn’t stay long.

After leaving Ling Jinhua’s old mansion, she let Ling Haijun go.

Later, it was Ling Zhenghui who picked Ling Haijun up again.

After Ling Zhenghui picked up Ling Haijun, he went to see Ling Mingrui, but Ling Mingrui refused to meet them.

Ling Zhenghui also sought a meeting with Ling Jinhua but was refused similarly.

In the end, Ling Zhenghui took Ling Haijun to the Northern Group to meet Ling Ruonan.

Ling Ruonan didn’t refuse to see them, but after meeting the father-son duo, she didn’t show much reaction, nor did she reprimand them, merely responding faintly with a few words. When Ling Zhenghui and Ling Haijun left, they looked as distressed as if mourning, their expressions quite amusing.

Ling Zhenghui also connected with Ling Zhengping, but what they discussed wasn’t eavesdropped.

Ling Zhenghui and Ling Haijun then returned home, not going out or contacting anyone else.

Ling Ruonan left Ling Mingrui’s villa, and Ling Zhengping stayed for at least an hour before leaving.

Luo Ziling checked the time, roughly estimating that Ling Zhengping had only recently left Ling Mingrui’s villa.

Hence he asked Wuyue, “Are you planning to make a move on Ling Zhengping?”

“No such intention,” Wuyue denied, “Miss instructed us to do nothing now. Young Master, what do you want us to do?”

“Then do nothing, let’s watch the show and see how they perform.”

“Understood!” Wuyue agreed with a sound, then asked Luo Ziling, “Yang Yunlin hasn’t left Qiantang yet, will there be trouble for you?”

“We’re heading to Yuezhou tomorrow, so there shouldn’t be any trouble. I reckon he won’t come all the way to Yuezhou to find us,” said Luo Ziling, laughing, “If he comes to Yuezhou looking for us, I’ll invite him to our old mansion for tea and let him see how our Luo Family Old Mansion is more charming than their Yang Family Old House.”

Wuyue was speechless.

After hanging up, Luo Ziling called in Yang Xiaodong.

“Return to Yanjing immediately, take Ling Haining away, but do not reveal your whereabouts. When the time comes, hand him over to my mom, let Ling Zhengping come to her to demand the person.”

“Alright,” Yang Xiaodong looked at Luo Ziling in surprise but eventually agreed.

As he knew, Ling Zhengping was coming to Hangzhou early tomorrow to demand the person.

It seemed Luo Ziling intended to play a trick on Ling Zhengping.
