Capítulo 2079: Chapter 2079: I Disagree

Yang Qingyin had never heard Sir Yang mention this before, and Luo Ziling hadn’t told her anything related to it either. So when she suddenly heard her grandfather speak of it, she was stunned and instantly blushed.

“Did Sir Yang also approve of such a marriage alliance?” Luo Ziling asked Yang Yuanshan, half-smiling bitterly.

“I haven’t considered this matter,” Yang Yuanshan shook his head, then added, “but I think your grandfather’s considerations make some sense.”

Luo Ziling didn’t interrupt and wanted to hear more of what Yang Yuanshan had to say.

Since he said Ling Mingrui’s words made sense, he would definitely analyze it a bit.

However, what Luo Ziling didn’t expect was that Yang Yuanshan stopped there, said nothing more, and slowly drank his tea.

Luo Ziling was a bit annoyed. This was quite the tease, wasn’t it?

Still, he didn’t show his annoyance and didn’t press further, opting instead to sip his tea as well.

The most distressed person was Yang Qingyin, whose curiosity was thoroughly piqued.

She looked at Yang Yuanshan, then at Luo Ziling, wanting to ask something but feeling too shy to voice it, her pretty face turning red with a complex expression.

Yang Yuanshan seemed slightly surprised by Luo Ziling’s calmness. After drinking his tea for a while, he asked Luo Ziling, “Surely you’ve heard about this from your grandfather, right?”

“No,” Luo Ziling shook his head. “I just think it’s quite a normal matter.”

“Do you think we should proceed this way?” Yang Yuanshan asked again.

“No, I don’t agree with such a marriage alliance.” Luo Ziling resolutely shook his head. “I don’t want the feelings between Qingyin and me to become a transaction. I don’t wish for our union to turn into a tool for you to gain benefits. When you strongly opposed us before, we wanted to be together; that wouldn’t change because of your opposition. Now that you wish us to be together, we still hold to our original thoughts. But, we don’t want our union to change its flavor because of your thoughts. It’s just that simple.”

Yang Yuanshan, though a bit surprised by Luo Ziling’s reaction, still spoke calmly, “But there’s one thing that’s undeniable: when two families are united by their children, the relationship between them significantly improves.”

“That I agree with, but for us, this isn’t the primary consideration,” Luo Ziling firmly shook his head.

“You’re aware of the tragedies between your grandfather and father,” Yang Yuanshan remained composed, “So, many times, people can’t fight against reality. If you insist on fighting it, you’re creating a tragedy for yourself. When you look back decades later, you’ll find yourself naive. Are feelings really important? After enough time, they’re not. Many couples aren’t intensely passionate but rather calm, and they end up living better lives than those with intense emotions. Those passionate couples, who’s to say they won’t part ways after a few years? Can you guarantee that your feelings will remain as intense for many years to come? Anyway, I don’t believe it!”

As he spoke, Yang Yuanshan’s gaze became sharp, exerting pressure on Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling knew Yang Yuanshan was hinting at something.

Regarding this, he had no confidence to argue because, while dating Yang Qingyin, he had complicated relationships with several other women.

Even if he dared to say he’d be devoted to Yang Qingyin after marriage, who would believe him?

Maybe even he wouldn’t believe it.

Yang Qingyin glared at Luo Ziling with a bit of resentment but said nothing.

“You may leave now!” Shortly after, Yang Yuanshan issued a dismissal order. “I have other national events to attend today.”

Luo Ziling promptly stood to say goodbye.

Yang Qingyin stood up with him, bid farewell to Yang Yuanshan, and together they left the old house.

On the way out, the two didn’t talk much.

Halfway through the drive, Luo Ziling suggested, since it’s still early, that they go for a stroll and then have lunch together.

Yang Qingyin didn’t refuse, nodding softly in agreement.

“Let’s go climb Xiangshan. Though it’s not autumn, springtime is also quite beautiful.” Luo Ziling saw that Xiangshan was nearby and jokingly suggested to Yang Qingyin, “Spring is here, and Xiangshan’s scenery must be lovely, and it’s also nice to get some exercise.”

Yang Qingyin didn’t refuse and obediently followed Luo Ziling forward.

Luo Ziling took Yang Qingyin’s hand, and Yang Qingyin didn’t resist, letting Luo Ziling hold her hand as they walked.

“Were you surprised?” After walking for a bit, Luo Ziling asked Yang Qingyin, “I actually knew about this possibility long ago. My mom told me yesterday. It’s just that I haven’t met my grandfather yet, so I don’t know exactly what he thinks.”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Yang Qingyin muttered.

“How could I tell you such things over WeChat? It’s something to say face-to-face. But I thought they might simply have ideas, and today your grandfather directly mentioned it,” Luo Ziling said, feeling a bit frustrated. “Until now, I haven’t figured out what your grandfather’s attitude is or what the purpose of this is.”

“My grandfather’s attitude is just waiting for you all to come to us,” Yang Qingyin smiled bitterly, “Actually, the way he’s been handling things recently shows he’s no longer insisting on previous ideas. It’s just that my father hasn’t come around yet. But if it’s really a family alliance, everything changes.”

“Let’s not worry about that for now, as long as our ideas remain unchanged,” Luo Ziling said with a smile. “I’m not the kind to bow to the nobility.”

“If they truly hope to achieve cooperation through our union, would you still oppose it?” Yang Qingyin asked, with a playful look at Luo Ziling.

“No!” Luo Ziling shook his head. “Like how I voted against them in building the laboratory this time, the ultimate goal isn’t opposition but gaining the right to speak and lead.”

“Alright!” Hearing Luo Ziling speak this way, Yang Qingyin understood his intent and breathed a sigh of relief, “Then let you have at it!”

“The world is truly magical.” Luo Ziling stood still, smiling at Yang Qingyin, “A few months ago, your family was completely against us being together, and then, in such a short time, they changed their minds. Back then, I said everything depends on human effort, and perhaps a miracle will happen soon. Look, my prediction came true, right?”

“Sigh!” Yang Qingyin sighed, saying nothing.

“Actually, it’s not surprising. In ancient times, after two powerful forces finished a war and saw the situation wasn’t right, they thought of a marriage alliance. So, there’s nothing that can’t happen!”

“What nonsense are you babbling?” Yang Qingyin pinched Luo Ziling with her hand, “I feel like I’ve become a princess for an alliance.”

“You are a princess!” Luo Ziling said, leaning closer to Yang Qingyin, jokingly, “You must be more beautiful than ancient princesses! Come on, beautiful lady, give me a smile!”

“You wish!” Yang Qingyin slapped away Luo Ziling’s hand reaching for her chin and said, “How dare you flirt with me!”

Luo Ziling began to playfully pinch Yang Qingyin’s waist, causing her to exclaim in surprise and soften her body immediately.

Luo Ziling laughed loudly, then turned and ran, with Yang Qingyin chasing after him in jest.

After their playful antics, the gloom caused by Yang Yuanshan quickly dissipated.
