"Let go of me," seeing Luo Ziling still holding her hand, Yang Qingyin pouted, "My hand's getting tired."

But Luo Ziling didn't listen to Yang Qingyin and instead pulled her into his arms and kissed her hard.

Yang Qingyin struggled symbolically for a moment, then gave up.

Of course, Luo Ziling didn't just kiss her simply; his hands instinctively went to work.

Yang Qingyin symbolically resisted again, and then let Luo Ziling have his way.

But she quickly realized it, struggled for a bit, and quietly pleaded, "Don't do this, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Your grandfather said you need a few more months of recuperation."

Yang Qingyin still clearly remembers Luo Ziling's terrifying reaction the last time they got intimate, and she's been haunted by it.

Therefore, while she could still control herself, she snapped back to her senses and stopped Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling immediately felt deflated, stopped his advances on Yang Qingyin, and said dejectedly, "Alright, I'm a patient, need to recover first."

Seeing Luo Ziling a bit down, Yang Qingyin quickly comforted, "Your health is important. I don't want you, the next time I need your treatment, to be unable to help me. Nor do I want you to collapse when treating me. Let's wait until you are healthy, okay?"

"So you mean, once I'm healthy, anything goes?" Luo Ziling said with a mischievous grin on his face.

Yang Qingyin blushed immediately but only glared at Luo Ziling and snorted, "You're full of wicked ideas."

"Seriously, what do you think," Luo Ziling thought about the topic they just discussed and wanted to know what Yang Qingyin thought, so he asked again, "What do you think about your mom's opinion?"

"Humph, I definitely don't want to have a child before getting married. If it turns out like your mom, that would be tragic." Yang Qingyin pouted, looking unwilling, "If that happened, it wouldn't be a good thing for anyone."

Seeing Luo Ziling's expression turn dark, Yang Qingyin quickly added, "Alright, don't be down. Anyway, things always have solutions. My grandpa's attitude has changed significantly, hasn't it? He praised you in front of me, saying you have a promising future."

"It seems my image is getting better and better now, even your grandpa praises me." Luo Ziling felt a bit proud, "In the future, more and more people will acknowledge me."

"Look at you getting all smug," Yang Qingyin teased Luo Ziling, "You used to not be like this, always so humble."

"One can't be too low-key; whatever achievements you have, you must show them, or no one will know what you're capable of." Luo Ziling appeared unconcerned, "After all, there's nothing bad about liking to brag a bit."

Yang Qingyin burst into laughter, "You're completely different from when we first met. Have you been contaminated by staying in the city too long?"

"Don't wrong me," Luo Ziling looked aggrieved, "We've known each other for so long, and I haven't..."

"Enough," Yang Qingyin interrupted Luo Ziling, blushing, "No more talking!"

She felt a bit aggrieved, having been on the verge of fully committing to Luo Ziling multiple times.

Now she's unclear whether she has truly given her most precious self to Luo Ziling.

The ambiguous feeling is really uncomfortable.

Luo Ziling's phone rang; seeing it was Ling Ruonan calling, he quickly answered.

"I'm having coffee with Feifei outside the conference center, come over, we have something to talk about." Ling Ruonan got straight to the point, "We need to head back to the hotel by nine-thirty, so hurry up."

"Okay!" Luo Ziling had no choice but to agree.

Looking at the time, it was almost eight o'clock. Luo Ziling had to get up and say goodbye, "Senior, my mom asked me to come over to talk. She needs to be back at the hotel by nine-thirty."

"Then go," Yang Qingyin, having heard the conversation between Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan, though a bit frustrated about not finishing her words, didn't get upset, "Your mom must have something important, hurry up."

She added a reminder, "Be careful on the way!"

"I know!" Luo Ziling nodded, wrapped his arms around Yang Qingyin, and passionately kissed her, leaving her weak and rumpled before letting go.

Amidst Yang Qingyin's playful scolding, Luo Ziling left with a smile.

After leaving Yang Qingyin's place, Luo Ziling asked Wuyue to take him to where Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei were.

Wuyue said nothing and drove Luo Ziling at the fastest speed to the coffee shop where Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei were.

About half an hour later, the car arrived at the place mentioned by Ling Ruonan.

Luo Ziling appeared in front of Ling Ruonan around eight forty.

"Mom, there's only fifty minutes left," Luo Ziling said apologetically as he entered the booth where Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei were sitting, "There's a bit of traffic at this hour, I got here as fast as I could."

"It's alright," Ling Ruonan signaled for Luo Ziling to sit, "Once the conference officially starts, it'll be hard for us to get leave to step out. So we had to call you over now."

"We've already suspended several cooperation projects with the Chen Family," Ouyang Feifei, at Ling Ruonan's cue, explained, "Because they breached the contract, we can unilaterally terminate the agreements. The involvement is about thirty billion in investments, and we are looking for new investors instead."

"The domino effect is quite significant," Luo Ziling chuckled, "Even if the Chen Family doesn't collapse, it will be greatly weakened."

"In this incident, Feifei and the entire Ouyang Family have given us immense support. If the Chen Family doesn't go down, the Ouyang Family will face their revenge, so they've made significant sacrifices." Ling Ruonan added, "We've gained overwhelming upper hand in this event, and the Chen Family is preparing to concede."

"Mom, in this matter, shouldn't I go from being a participant to just a spectator?" Luo Ziling said with a faint bitter smile, "This has turned into a battle between big figures, hasn't it?"

"You can't say that," Ling Ruonan shook her head, "Though they're steering the course of events, many things still require other people's involvement, who might play a more crucial role. Therefore, never drop one's guard; a small matter could determine the success or failure of the entire event."

Luo Ziling found it odd that Ling Ruonan would discuss these matters in front of Ouyang Feifei. Had she no reservations towards Ouyang Feifei? Some critical information shouldn't be said in front of Ouyang Feifei!

Realizing Luo Ziling's concern, Ling Ruonan immediately said, "Feifei has provided us with a lot of substantial evidence, revealing Chen Jiahai's shady dealings and Chen Jiahu's harmful misconduct. In their cooperation with the Chen Family, they discovered many things that couldn't be exposed."

"I see," Luo Ziling came to understand, "So Miss Ouyang has become a chess piece in this game too!"

Ouyang Feifei didn't expect Luo Ziling to refer to her this way and became furious instantly, her gaze at Luo Ziling turning sharp.
