Luo Ziling told Wuyue that she could handle such matters herself, and in the future, she only needed to inform him of the results, disregarding the process.
"We trust you won’t make any mistakes," Luo Ziling said sincerely, patting Wuyue’s shoulder. "So, feel free to handle everything. Just remember one thing: don’t leave any traces or attract any trouble."
"Understood!" Wuyue promised, standing up straight, "I’ll definitely follow your instructions."
Wuyue had a great figure and was wearing tight-fitting clothes today. Her posture was quite striking to Luo Ziling who was in close proximity.
Wuyue sensed where Luo Ziling’s eyes landed and blushed, but she didn’t dodge. Instead, she looked calmly at Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling reached out to pinch Wuyue’s cheek, saying frankly, "What, trying to seduce me? Aren’t you afraid of causing trouble?"
Wuyue froze for a moment, her face turning even redder.
She never imagined in her wildest dreams that Luo Ziling would tease her like this.
"Go get busy, but be sure to rest. If you don’t sleep well, I’ll give you acupuncture treatment if necessary." Luo Ziling pinched Wuyue’s flushed cheek again, playfully adding, "Don’t work yourself too hard. If you become a haggard woman, no one will dare to marry you."
Wuyue glared at Luo Ziling and turned to run away.
To Luo Ziling’s surprise, that evening, Wang Feiyang sent him a message asking about the same thing Yang Qingyin asked him about earlier.
Upon seeing Wang Feiyang ask when he was free to have dinner at his house, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but smile.
"In a couple of days. I’m really busy the next two nights."
"What do you mean by a couple of days?" Wang Feiyang was a bit annoyed, "Is it really in two days, or are you just making excuses? Last time you said you’d be free in a couple of days, and now it’s the same. Are you just trying to fool us—the father and daughter pair?"
"No!" Luo Ziling quickly explained, surprised that Wang Feiyang was upset. "I genuinely don’t have time these two days, no, three nights. If there’s no unexpected situation, I should be able to arrange some time after three days. We can talk then, alright?"
"Alright then!" Wang Feiyang calmed his temper in time, "I’ll ask you again in three days."
She asked Luo Ziling what the messages posted on Weibo today meant.
"Just feeling frustrated, I wanted to vent, reveal some things, that’s all."
"Why are you feeling frustrated? What happened?" Wang Feiyang asked curiously like a child, "Can you tell me?"
Luo Ziling replied somewhat impatiently, "Figure it out yourself."
"No fun!!!"
"I have things to do, not talking to you anymore." Luo Ziling completely ignored the three exclamation marks following Wang Feiyang’s "no fun."
"Alright, you’re busy, I won’t bother you." Women seem to love using eye-roll emojis, and Wang Feiyang added a bunch of them after her message.
If it were normal romantic relationships, seeing a girl use so many eye-roll emojis in texts, the boy should offer comforting words. Wang Feiyang also wanted comforting words from Luo Ziling but didn’t receive them, which disappointed her greatly.
"That hateful guy, treating me like this all the time!" She felt very wronged.
Originally, she thought that after developing a relationship, even if Luo Ziling disliked her, as long as she treated him well and persisted, Luo Ziling would definitely change his attitude towards her.
Unexpectedly, his attitude towards her remained poor.
He even treated Dong Xiaowan better than her.
Wang Feiyang felt so wronged, her dissatisfaction with Luo Ziling growing day by day.
"If you keep treating me like this, I’ll make you regret it." Wang Feiyang muttered angrily after throwing her phone, "If you truly piss me off, I’ll show you the destructive power of a woman scorned."
Luo Ziling sneezed heavily a few times, muttering in his heart, "It must be that woman cursing me, otherwise I wouldn’t sneeze."
He immediately sent a message to Wang Feiyang, "Don’t curse me, and don’t plot against me, or you’ll regret it."
Receiving this message gave Wang Feiyang a fright.
She suddenly suspected that Luo Ziling had installed surveillance or eavesdropping devices in her room, otherwise, why would he know she was cursing him right away?
"I’m not cursing you; I’m just venting my anger a bit."
"Turns out you really are cursing me. Watch how I deal with you next time."
"Hmph, I’d love to see you come deal with me, but you never do. If you have the guts, come over and deal with me properly." Wang Feiyang boldly retorted, "Letting you sleep with a woman for free, and you still have no interest?"
"I’m busy, not talking to you anymore!" Luo Ziling briskly closed the conversation.
This made Wang Feiyang grit her teeth in anger again.
Just after putting down his phone, Luo Ziling received a call from Luo Yuqing.
"Ziling, how about coming out for a late-night snack?"
"What made you suddenly want to invite me for a late-night snack?" Luo Ziling found it quite strange.
"It’s almost ten o’clock, isn’t it the perfect time for a late-night snack?" Luo Yuqing’s voice sounded warm, giving Luo Ziling a peculiar feeling.
"Oh, so you have a reason to find me, huh!" Luo Ziling chuckled twice and then asked Luo Yuqing, "Where are you? Are you alone?"
"I’m with my mom. Come over for a late-night snack with us and have a chat, okay?" Luo Yuqing seemed a bit embarrassed.
Luo Ziling had been wanting to talk to Wu Ningjing, but hadn’t found the opportunity.
Upon hearing Luo Yuqing say that she was with Wu Ningjing and wanted to discuss matters with him, he immediately agreed, "Send me your location, I’ll come right over."
Luo Yuqing sent Luo Ziling her location right away and mentioned she would treat Luo Ziling to a late-night snack tonight.
Luo Ziling greeted Ling Ruonan, who had just finished her bath, saying he was going to have a late-night snack with Luo Yuqing.
Ling Ruonan didn’t ask further questions, only reminding Luo Ziling to be careful and return home early to rest.
A half-hour later, Luo Ziling met up with Luo Yuqing and Wu Ningjing.
"Aunt Wu, a few days without seeing you, and you’ve become even younger and prettier." After greeting them, Luo Ziling sat down and joked, "At first glance, I almost thought you two were sisters!"
"Disgusting!" Luo Yuqing rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling, "Always spewing nonsense."
"That’s genuinely what I think!" Luo Ziling said innocently, "If you don’t believe me, I can call someone over and ask if they think the same."
"Alright, stop being annoying." Luo Yuqing expressed slight impatience, "Just sit down properly, there’s something we need to discuss with you!"
Wu Ningjing chuckled as she watched Luo Yuqing and Luo Ziling banter.
After listening to Luo Yuqing, only then did Wu Ningjing speak, "Ziling, it’s actually not a big deal, we just want to chat with you casually."
"Aunt Wu, feel free to tell me anything."
Wu Ningjing hesitated for a moment before speaking.
She spoke softly, "The two of us have been abandoned by the Li Family, but we are not willing to be pushed out by them that easily. Yuqing mentioned that you might have ways to help us secure some benefits. I just want to ask, is that truly your intention?!"
Luo Ziling was immediately surprised.
