"Yes!" Wuyue knew from Ling Ruonan's loss of composure that the situation was indeed very serious, but in the end, he only uttered these two words.

"When did they start dating?" Ling Ruonan tried to suppress the panic and annoyance in her heart, and asked Wuyue with a grave voice, "Why didn't you report it earlier, a few days ago?"

"The person we placed in the school just called me to report this situation; she didn't know that the young master and the Yang Family's little princess were acquainted and dating," Wuyue said truthfully, not daring to conceal anything.

Ling Ruonan slumped down into a seat and waved her hand to signal Wuyue to go out first.

Not daring to say anything more, Wuyue quickly cleaned up the cup that Ling Ruonan had knocked over and wiped the table dry before quietly stepping out.

Having lost all interest in breakfast and no longer in the mood to watch the news, Ling Ruonan, dressed in her house clothes, walked to the French window with a sorrowful face and gazed out blankly at the scenery.

Paris had just awoken from the dawn, with the distant Eiffel Tower shrouded in a thin mist, displaying a different kind of beauty under the reflection of the morning glow. But Ling Ruonan had no leisure to appreciate these beautiful scenes; she was deep in thought.

She could never forget the huge scandal that had occurred twenty years ago in her lifetime.

That man, whose eyes and eyebrows slightly resembled Luo Ziling, how was he now?

When she thought of these two men, one older and one younger, Ling Ruonan's thoughts surged like a tide, overwhelming her.

She clearly remembered the scene when she first met him.

That day, she had just returned from outside and was striding towards her grandfather's room, planning to visit her grandfather who was seriously ill. As she entered the courtyard of the old house, she suddenly heard a crisp voice, "Miss, please, which way is the dining room?"

She stopped in her tracks and turned to look. She saw a face that was slightly shy, with a hint of a smile and eyes as clear as a deep pool. The tall figure, robust build, handsome face, and slightly bashful eyes actually made her, who was used to seeing handsome men, freeze on the spot as her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

She, who had never been flustered in situations, was momentarily at a loss and didn't know how to respond.

The moment the other party saw her, he too was taken aback, mouth agape and staring.

For at least thirty seconds, they stared at each other, large eyes locked onto smaller ones, before they finally shifted their gazes away.

She was the one who blushed and fled in a panic, for the first time disconcerted in front of a man.

Afterward, she found out who the man that made her blush was.

Her grandfather Ling Jinhua was gravely ill, and the doctors were at their wits' end as he was on the verge of passing away. Her father Ling Mingrui, through various connections, had managed to invite the reclusive famous physician Luo Liansheng. Luo Liansheng accepted the invitation and brought his son Luo Xusheng to treat the old master.

Thanks to their father and son's treatment, the old master miraculously recovered from his critical condition.

When she skipped class to rush back to the old house to visit her grandfather, Luo Xusheng, who had been assisting Luo Liansheng for two days, was hungry and searching for the dining room when he happened to run into her.

After the miraculous treatment by Luo Liansheng and his son Luo Xusheng, the old master recovered from danger, which greatly surprised and delighted the Ling Family. Luo Liansheng and his son became revered guests of the Ling Family, but they did not ask for any reward from the Ling Family. Everyone in the family knew that the Liansheng father and son agreed to diagnose the illness because they did it for the sake of another person. If Ling Mingrui had not personally requested that person to speak to them, the father and son who were stubborn and indifferent to authority would never have come to treat the old master.

But Ling Ruonan could never have imagined that her life would start to change from that brief encounter with Luo Xusheng.

At that time, she already had a marriage agreement with Yang Yunfeng, the second young master of another wealthy family in Yanjing.

She and Yang Yunfeng were childhood playmates with a good relationship, but she felt only sibling affection for him, without any romantic love.

Ling Ruonan, because of her outstanding intelligence and beauty, was hailed as "Yanjing's Number One Beauty." She, with her proud heart, longed for freedom and hoped for a passionate romance, to find someone she truly loved to marry. Thus, she was very resistant to her family's arrangement, even going on a hunger strike to protest this union and had even made it clear to Yang Yunfeng that she could never marry him.

Perhaps she was too familiar with Yang Yunfeng, or perhaps she found Yang Yunfeng too lacking in personality, but she just couldn't develop feelings for him.

However, after meeting Luo Xusheng for the first time, her heart began to feel tumultuous.

In the following days, as she visited her grandfather at the old house every day, her encounters with Luo Xusheng became more frequent.

Luo Xusheng's medical skills were exceptional, his learning was outstanding, and beneath his shy exterior lay a proud and unrestrained heart.

Two equally inexperienced people, through a series of contacts and conflicts, were gradually drawn to each other.

Actually, from the first time Ling Ruonan saw Luo Xusheng, she was attracted by his slightly shy expression and his clear, unfathomable gaze.

The subsequent interactions were, you could say, driven by her curiosity, as she actively provoked Luo Xusheng. Their emotions skyrocketed when she caught a cold and suddenly fell ill, and Luo Xusheng came to treat her.

Luo Xusheng's attentive and considerate care made her unable to restrain her emotions any longer.

During their time together, she learned that Luo Xusheng was very skilled in martial arts, so after she recovered, she insisted on Luo Xusheng accompanying her out to have fun.

The young and green lad naturally couldn't resist the direct temptations of a beautiful and wealthy young mistress and gladly went with her.

As a result, during their outing, a heavy rain caught them, and they both got soaked, naturally huddling together for warmth.

Ling Ruonan took the initiative to give away her first kiss and also claimed Luo Xusheng's first kiss.

After that incident, their feelings became uncontrollable, and in the end, they did what men and women in passionate love do.

Because they took no protective measures, it didn't take long for Ling Ruonan to discover she was pregnant.

Headstrong by nature, she saw her grandfather and father treat Luo Liansheng and his son as honored guests and boldly made it clear, insisting on marrying only Luo Xusheng.

Only after listening to Ling Ruonan's account did Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui realize that things had gotten out of hand.

Although they treated Luo Liansheng and Luo Xusheng father and son as honored guests, they had never considered marrying Ling Ruonan to Luo Xusheng.

In their eyes, the interests of the family were of foremost importance. An alliance through marriage with the Yang Family could solidify the Ling Family's position and even help Ling Mingrui vie for the highest power. Therefore, they unapologetically rejected Ling Ruonan's request.

But Ling Ruonan defied them to the point of threatening her own life, stubbornly refusing to remove the unborn child and adamant against marrying Yang Yunfeng, eventually planning to elope with Luo Xusheng.

Feeling deeply humiliated, Yang Yunfeng was furious when he learned of the situation. During Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan's challenging elopement, he pursued them in a car chase, along with the Ling Family's people.

In the ensuing chaos, Yang Yunfeng was killed by Luo Xusheng, who was captured in an attempt to protect her from harm.

The relationship between the Ling and Yang Families plummeted to a freezing point, with the Yang Family regarding the Luo father and son as mortal enemies. The Yang Family was determined to have Luo Xusheng killed. In the end, it was only through her determined resistance to death and the personal intervention of the patriarch Ling Jinhua that Luo Xusheng's life was spared. However, he was banished from Yanjing and forced to agree never to set foot in Yanjing City ever again.

Eight months after the incident, Ling Ruonan gave birth to a boy, Luo Ziling.

Three months after Luo Ziling was born, grandfather Luo Liansheng took him away, and from then on, the family of three never saw each other again.

Thinking of these things, Ling Ruonan once again burst into tears.
