Footsteps came from behind, and Luo Ziling turned to look, only to see Wuyue following behind with an umbrella.
Wuyue was deliberately walking so close, and her footsteps were very loud. Luo Ziling knew this woman was reminding him.
The feeling of being tailed by Wuyue wasn’t great, and the slight flirtation he felt with Dai Shulan instantly disappeared.
So Luo Ziling stopped walking and called to Wuyue behind him, "Let’s go together, let’s find a lively place to hang out."
With her heart pounding like a little deer, Dai Shulan felt her spirits plummet when she saw Luo Ziling say this and saw Wuyue really following behind.
That romantic feeling, the accelerated heartbeat and excitement, vanished in an instant.
As a result, she harbored a bit of resentment toward Wuyue.
The woman beside Luo Ziling was so annoying. Why would she follow when she and Luo Ziling went out to play alone?
After hearing Luo Ziling’s invitation, Wuyue came up without the slightest reservation.
"I didn’t find anyone following us!" Once she got close to Luo Ziling, Wuyue whispered, "There’s no sign of any suspicious people nearby either!"
Wuyue’s words left Dai Shulan dumbfounded.
She knew that someone had been trying to harm Luo Ziling these last two days, but she thought the matter had passed and everything was fine.
Unexpectedly, even today they might encounter an incident.
"Actually, I feel that they’ve abandoned their plan and won’t do anything to us anymore. Otherwise, the situation wouldn’t be like this." Luo Ziling, afraid Dai Shulan would worry, smiled and said to the two women, "So, that’s why I’m out to play tonight with peace of mind."
"But we still can’t take it lightly!" Wuyue said as she glanced at Dai Shulan with a peculiar expression in her eyes.
Dai Shulan remained silent. She did not know what to say and couldn’t say anything.
She was quite disappointed that tonight’s romance was ruined by Wuyue.
For some reason, she suddenly no longer feared encountering trouble.
If attacked, Luo Ziling would definitely protect her.
What’s more, if she accidentally got hurt, Luo Ziling would work even harder to protect her, and after saving her, would treat and care for her attentively. Something might happen between them.
It has to be said, sometimes women writing novels have wilder imaginations than others.
"Young master, it’s so dark here, if someone were lying in ambush, it would be easy to encounter an accident." Wuyue’s young heart wasn’t as lively as Dai Shulan’s, nor was she as romantic. Although this path seemed fitting for lovers, dark and tranquil alleys to her were full of dangers.
If an assassin lay in ambush in that small house in the alley and attacked them unexpectedly, escaping wouldn’t be easy.
If assailants lay waiting at both ends of the alley, the person in the middle would be like a trapped beast.
Although she hadn’t noticed anything abnormal when she followed, she still hoped to leave here as soon as possible.
"Alright, let’s go somewhere else to play!" Luo Ziling said and then asked Dai Shulan, "Where do you want to go?"
"You decide!" Dai Shulan’s heart felt a little better seeing Luo Ziling ask her, but she still left the decision to him, "I’m fine going wherever you want."
Actually, she loved walking in the rain with Luo Ziling, without needing to go anywhere, just wandering aimlessly was enough.
But now there’s no way the random stroll could have the same taste as before. With Wuyue here, how could there be that cozy feeling they had earlier?
But she still didn’t want to go back to the hotel right away; they’d only been out for less than half an hour.
If they went back now, she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight, as her heart hadn’t yet felt free and her legs hadn’t started relaxing.
"How are we doing as bait?" Luo Ziling smirked as they walked out of the alley, following Wuyue’s suggestion, "Here we are, a man and a woman wandering here carefree. If anyone targeted us, they should be ready to act."
"If someone was really waiting in ambush nearby, aiming a sniper rifle at you, it would most likely be over for you!" Wuyue, wanting to spoil Dai Shulan’s mood more, spoke a bit irritably, "After so many incidents, and after you yourself told others not to wander when there’s nothing to do, you’re now the one not following the rules!"
Luo Ziling knew that Wuyue was being jealous, as she never complained about such things usually.
Not taking it too seriously, he laughed and then put his arm around Wuyue’s shoulder, walked a few steps, and said, "I’ll be careful. Don’t be dissatisfied anymore. At worst, I’ll treat you both to a late-night snack later, just say what you want!"
Wuyue said nothing but didn’t push Luo Ziling’s hand away either.
Luo Ziling put his arm around her shoulders in front of Dai Shulan, a casual gesture without any intimacy, but it made her feel slightly more comfortable inside.
Dai Shulan said nothing, walking quietly on Luo Ziling’s left side, her head lowered, lost in her thoughts.
Seeing the two beautiful women, one on the left and one on the right, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but laugh, "Am I not honored to have two beautiful ladies accompanying me shopping? How about I take you two for a late-night snack, with two beautiful ladies with me, eating a late-night snack would definitely taste wonderful."
This remark earned simultaneous eye-rolls from Dai Shulan and Wuyue, but Luo Ziling didn’t mind.
The three strolled to the Qingming Festival Scenic Area, wandered around, and bought souvenirs for both Dai Shulan and Wuyue at a small roadside shop. Wuyue received the souvenir from Luo Ziling with a mixed look of laughter and helplessness.
Meanwhile, Dai Shulan received hers with delight, her expression full of joy.
It was the first time Luo Ziling had given her such a small gift, and it was something she had been wanting to buy dearly.
Going out for a walk with women, as long as it’s not shopping for clothes, felt pretty good.
On top of that, Wuyue and Dai Shulan occasionally showed hints of jealousy.
This made Luo Ziling feel accomplished.
Having two beautiful women vying for attention is also a test of a man’s ability.
After wandering for over an hour, Luo Ziling began to feel a bit hungry and wanted to find a place to eat a late-night snack.
Wuyue and Dai Shulan had no objections and agreed to join Luo Ziling for a late-night snack.
Just as the three were about to go for their snack, Wuyue received a report that someone under her command had captured a suspicious person.
The person confessed some important things. The informant asked Wuyue to come and take a look.
Just as Wuyue was reporting this to Luo Ziling, Yang Xiaodong also sent Wuyue a message, saying that his people had just caught another suspicious person, who confessed that Ling Zhengping sent them with the purpose of assassinating Luo Ziling.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaodong and the other report the situation simultaneously, Wuyue’s expression changed instantly.
"Young master, it looks like they’re still plotting!" Wuyue whispered, "I’d better go check it out quickly!"
"I should go see too, and after we finish, I’ll treat you both to a late-night snack!"
"..." Wuyue looked at Luo Ziling speechlessly.
She really wanted to ask Luo Ziling: Is a late-night snack that important?
