Early the next morning, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin left Qiantang and headed to Yuezhou.
This time, they didnāt take any public transportation but had Ye Xiaoli drive them directly.
Qiantang is just over an hourās drive from Yuezhou, and they arrived quickly.
By not taking the high-speed rail or bullet train, Luo Ziling simply wanted to keep their whereabouts secret.
After getting up in the morning, Luo Ziling turned off his phone, and asked Yang Qingyin to turn off hers too.
"I donāt want to be disturbed by anyone," Luo Ziling said with a smile to Yang Qingyin while doing this, "Once we get to Yuezhou, weāll just have fun and ignore everything else."
"Alright," Yang Qingyin agreed.
By ten oāclock in the morning, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin had arrived in Yuezhou.
The peach blossoms were blooming on Howling Mountain, so they went straight there to admire them.
Although it wasnāt the weekend, the weather was nice: neither cold nor hot, so there were quite a few tourists on Howling Mountain.
Once inside the scenic area, they simply wandered around aimlessly.
The South in spring is filled with sceneries everywhere.
The scenery outside the Howling Mountain scenic area was also beautiful.
Fields of rapeseed flowers dotted amidst vast greens of the fields, looking extremely pretty.
The unique atmosphere of the water towns in the South makes everything elegant and beautiful.
Standing on the top of Howling Mountain, gazing at the surrounding landscape, gives one a feeling of relaxation and joy.
"Actually, sitting quietly here for a whole day feels really good." Luo Ziling laughed while being with Yang Qingyin atop Howling Mountain, looking at the surroundings, "In spring, one should stay long in the South. Thereās no place where the spring scenery is more beautiful and elegant than the South."
"Otherwise, why would it be called Paradise Club? If the South werenāt beautiful, the world of small bridges and flowing waters wouldnāt be described as the place with the most Southern charm." Yang Qingyin said with a smile, leaning on Luo Zilingās shoulder, "Actually, I donāt like the Capital; the air is too bad, there are too many people. It would be better to live in the countryside and look at the scenery in the fields, which is also very charming."
"Tonight, weāll stay at the old house. Tomorrow, weāll stroll around the fields near the old house. The countryside of the South has many peach trees, and the rapeseed flowers are blooming profusely. Weāll go to the fields and experience spring."
"Why wait until tomorrow? Letās go today," Yang Qingyin sat up straight, "The scenic area isnāt actually that nice; the fields are much better."
As she spoke, Yang Qingyin pointed at the unique scenery outside the scenic area, looking cheerful. "Peach blossoms and green willow trees, blooming rapeseed flowers, lush green wheat seedlingsāthis diverse and colorful spring, isnāt it beautiful?"
"Alright, letās leave here and go to the old house. After a break, weāll walk around the fields."
Once they decided, they acted immediately.
After leaving Howling Mountain, they didnāt stay long and directly exited the scenic area, driving towards the Orchid Pavilion.
On the way, they casually found a place to have lunch.
Something unexpected happened during lunch.
Ye Xiaoli walked into their dining room with her phone, saying that Ouyang Feifei wanted to speak to Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling appeared very surprised but eventually took Ye Xiaoliās phone.
"Iām arriving in Yuezhou this afternoon to discuss cooperation matters with Yuezhou officials. If nothing goes wrong, Iāll be there for two days. You should be in Yuezhou, right?"
After hearing Ouyang Feifeiās words, Luo Ziling teased, smiling, "Our whereabouts really canāt be hidden from you."
"Your mom might also come to Yuezhou, but itās not decided yet," Ouyang Feifei calmly said, ignoring Luo Zilingās teasing. "Your mom said that during our talks with Yuezhou officials, it would be best for you to be present. Some matters need you there. It would be best to check with your mom; she canāt reach you."
"Alright," Luo Ziling agreed to Ouyang Feifeiās request without much further comment, "After you arrive in Yuezhou, contact me directly. If my presence is needed, Iāll come."
During the call, Yang Qingyin was attentively listening. After Luo Ziling hung up, she curiously asked, "Is Ouyang Feifei coming to Yuezhou?"
"Sheās coming to discuss cooperation matters," Luo Ziling didnāt deny it. "My mom might come too. Itās probably a continuation of the last meeting. The cooperation matters havenāt been completely settled. The collaboration with Jiangnan Province should have a large scale, but I donāt know too much about the specifics."
"Maybe sheās especially coming here for you." Yang Qingyin said with a hint of jealousy, "Donāt let her down."
"Iāll ignore you if you keep talking nonsense," Luo Ziling said angrily, "I didnāt invite her here."
"Alright, just joking," Yang Qingyin laughed and took Luo Zilingās hand, "Anyway, she isnāt here yet, so we can enjoy ourselves."
After lunch, Luo Ziling turned on his phone.
Upon turning it on, he received notices of several missed calls and messages.
Calls from Ling Ruonan, Ouyang Feifei, Luo Yuqing, and others.
Luo Ziling first called Ling Ruonan back.
Ling Ruonan asked if Luo Ziling had reached Yuezhou and told him that new cooperation matters were being prepared to finalize the agreement in the coming days. Ouyang Feifei would arrive first, and if she could arrange some free time, she would also come.
She asked Luo Ziling to show up during Ouyang Feifeiās meeting with Yuezhou officials, suggesting there might be unexpected gains.
Luo Ziling agreed without refusal.
Then he called Luo Yuqing.
As soon as Luo Yuqing picked up, she was annoyed: "Going out to play and turning off your phone altogether? How could you do that? Itās too much."
"The phone quality isnāt great, it accidentally shut off!" Luo Ziling made up an excuse.
"Making up excuses. Do you blush when you lie?" Luo Yuqing was even more annoyed.
"Alright, whatās the matter?" Luo Ziling didnāt want to continue this topic with Luo Yuqing, "Iām taking calls here with roaming charges, you know!"
"Roaming charges my ass, havenāt they been canceled?"
"No way, they said theyād cancel them, but theyāre not canceled yet," Luo Ziling asked again somewhat impatiently, "Is the ad film shoot ready?"
"Yes, itās almost ready. Just waiting for the lead actor to return."
"Whereās the shoot going to be?"
"On the Great Wall, inside the Military Museum, in military camps, in the countrysideālots of places, it will take about half a month."
"Oh my god, wonāt I miss half a month of classes?" Luo Ziling was startled, "No way, no way, if I skip that many classes again, my mom definitely wonāt let me off!"
"You donāt necessarily have to skip classes; filming can be scheduled during your free time, like after classes or on weekends." Luo Yuqing was a bit impatient too, "Iāll arrange everything according to our schedule; you just follow my lead. Enjoy yourself, just donāt get a child out of it."
As she spoke, Luo Yuqing hung up the phone without waiting for Luo Ziling to respond.
Luo Ziling was immediately left dumbfounded by Luo Yuqingās words.
Yang Qingyin, hearing Luo Yuqingās words, also blushed deeply.
After Luo Ziling hung up the phone, Yang Qingyin said softly, "Do they really think weāre going to have a child out of wedlock or something?"
