Chapter 1115 - Chapter 1115 Chapter 1115 Reserved and Awkward

Chapter 1115: Chapter 1115: Reserved and Awkward Chapter 1115: Chapter 1115: Reserved and Awkward After the car stopped in front of the villa, Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing got out together.

As they got out of the car, Wuyue came up to greet them.

“The young master, the young lady is in the study room and asks for you to come up,” Wuyue quietly said to Luo Ziling, then glanced at Luo Yuqing before stepping aside.

Today, Wuyue was still dressed in her usual professional suit and high heels, looking very tall and straight.

Seeing Wuyue’s beautiful appearance and her scrutinizing gaze, Luo Yuqing involuntarily straightened up.

It’s a basic instinct of humans to compare themselves to each other.

Wuyue was pretty and tall; Luo Yuqing felt the pressure, therefore wanted to show off her most beautiful side, at least not to be outdone by Wuyue.

When beautiful women meet, they tend to subconsciously measure each other up.

However, Wuyue’s excellence still made Luo Yuqing feel the pressure.

Moreover, she could sense a faint hostility in Wuyue’s eyes.

After placing the fruit they had bought in the ground-floor living room, Luo Ziling led Luo Yuqing upstairs.

Luo Yuqing was still very nervous as they ascended.

As they were about to reach the top of the stairs, she grabbed Luo Ziling’s arm again and whispered, “I’m really scared, I’ve never felt like this before.”

“It’s okay, my mother won’t scold you, let alone hit you, there’s nothing to be nervous about.” Luo Ziling patted Luo Yuqing’s arm, comforting her, “I’m here too, even if my mom scolds you, I’ll save the situation.”

“You promise, if your mom scolds me, you have to rescue me,” Luo Yuqing said as she took a deep breath and then let go of Luo Ziling’s arm.

Luo Ziling smiled and said nothing more.

The study room on the second floor had its door ajar; Luo Ziling knocked gently twice.

“Mom, I’ve brought Yuqing to see you,” Luo Ziling said as he pushed the door and entered.

Inside the room, Ling Ruonan, dressed in casual home clothes, was engrossed in a book.

Seeing Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing enter, she didn’t get up, her eyes still on the book.

“Sit down,” she said as the two approached, only then lifting her head to quickly glance at Luo Yuqing, before instructing Luo Ziling, “Make a cup of tea for Miss Li!”

“Hello, Mrs. Ling,” Luo Yuqing approached with trepidation and greeted Ling Ruonan, then timidly added, “I apologize for the intrusion today. Please forgive me.”

Ling Ruonan didn’t say much, just looked up and sized up Luo Yuqing.

Luo Yuqing didn’t dare say anything more; she stood with her head lowered, letting Ling Ruonan scrutinize her.

She had changed into a Hanfu for a dance during the recent birthday party. She hadn’t changed out of it when the party ended and had followed Luo Ziling out like that. The modified Hanfu didn’t differ much from women’s long dresses, so it didn’t look out of place.

However, faced with the striking Ling Ruonan, Luo Yuqing still felt somewhat insecure; she was a bit at a loss.

If she were the illegitimate daughter of Luo Xusheng, then certainly she would feel guilty facing Luo Xusheng’s legitimate wife.

However, she soon thought of something, Ling Ruonan and Luo Xusheng weren’t officially married either, the two hadn’t registered their marriage, nor had they held a wedding ceremony, making Luo Ziling’s status even more pitiable than hers. With these points in mind, her confidence recovered a bit.

“I heard today is your birthday, first I wish you a happy birthday,” Ling Ruonan’s sharp gaze fell on Luo Yuqing as she took a box out of the desk drawer and handed it to Luo Yuqing, “Just a small personal gift from me, I hope you’ll accept it.”

Luo Yuqing was stunned, not expecting Ling Ruonan to give her a gift upon their first meeting, it was awkward whether to accept it or not.

Luo Ziling had just returned with the tea and, seeing this scene, quickly spoke up, “Mom, what kind of gift are you giving Yuqing? Can I take a look?”

“It’s not for you, what’s there for you to look at?” Ling Ruonan glanced at Luo Ziling dismissively, then turned to Luo Yuqing, “You’re not despising it, are you?”

Luo Yuqing hurriedly reached out to take it, expressing her gratitude, “Thank you, Mrs. Ling, then I’ll accept it.”

Judging by the packaging of the box, it seemed to be quite expensive, Luo Yuqing felt somewhat uncomfortable holding it, as if it were hot to the touch.

“Sit down and have some tea,” Luo Ziling gently tugged on Luo Yuqing’s arm, gesturing for her to sit.

Luo Yuqing smiled awkwardly at Luo Ziling and sat down very stiffly in front of Ling Ruonan.

Seeing how fearful Luo Yuqing was of her, Ling Ruonan felt slightly more comfortable inside.

She picked up her tea from in front of her and leisurely took a sip before quietly asking, “I heard you and Ziling went for a paternity test?”

Ling Ruonan’s questioning was still so direct, making Luo Yuqing even more embarrassed. After glancing at Luo Ziling, she finally nodded and regretfully added, “But there was no conclusive result, unless we have Ziling’s father’s blood or a sample.”

“Even though you know you and Ziling might be siblings, you still let him appear at your birthday party as your boyfriend?” Ling Ruonan’s tone became slightly aggressive as she asked this.

“No one knows this right now, and I wanted to ward off some people who bother me, so I thought of having Ziling scare them off,” Luo Yuqing responded honestly. “I know about Ziling and Qingyin’s relationship, I had no intentions of breaking them up, I only did this after making it clear to Qingyin.”

Ling Ruonan’s domineering presence was overwhelming, and even after sitting for quite some time, Luo Yuqing still hadn’t fully settled down and was still very nervous.

“Mom, I need to speak with you alone for a moment,” Luo Ziling noticed Luo Yuqing’s nervousness and walked over to Ling Ruonan, tugging at her hand, “Can we talk in the next room over?”

Ling Ruonan looked at Luo Ziling and ultimately didn’t refuse, allowing him to pull her hand as they moved to the adjacent room.

“Mom, tonight I ran into Luo Yuqing’s mother, Wu Ningjing, and pressed her about the past. She told me some things,” Luo Ziling began, recounting how Wu Ningjing had drugged Luo Xusheng’s tea, rendered him unconscious, did certain things, and then erased all traces of the incident.

Upon hearing this, Ling Ruonan flew into a rage, “That shameless wretch, daring to do such a thing.”

Seeing Ling Ruonan’s murderous fury, Luo Ziling quickly added, “Mom, it’s all in the past, let’s not dwell on it. It’s not that dad wanted this, he was set up. Dad is innocent, and so is Luo Yuqing.”

“Her name is Li Yuqing, she doesn’t have the Luo surname,” Ling Ruonan glared at Luo Ziling, looking rather irritated.

“Today, she publicly told the guests that she’s changing her surname to Luo and will no longer be the daughter of the Li Family,” Luo Ziling recounted the events of the day and then fell silent.

“Is she forcing us to accept her?” Ling Ruonan’s face twisted into a mocking sneer, “Do they think they can have it so easily?”

“Mom, I want to wait for dad to come back and do a paternity test together to confirm whether Yuqing is my sister or not. Regardless of the outcome, what’s done is done. If she is, we can’t deny the blood ties; if not, it’ll save us some trouble. We need to clear things up!” After saying this, Luo Ziling relayed the previous conversation with Luo Xusheng to Ling Ruonan, “Dad definitely will not seek Wu Ningjing again. He has been steadfast for you all these years; you should trust his feelings.”

Hearing Luo Ziling say this, Ling Ruonan sighed softly, a trace of sorrow in her voice, “It’s precisely because he’s been steadfast for so many years that I overlook some things. You and your father are quite alike, there were also many women around him back in the day.”

All of a sudden, Luo Ziling perked up with curiosity and hurriedly asked, “Mom, can you tell me about the past?”

However, Ling Ruonan remained silent, shooting Luo Ziling a glance before leaving the room and heading back to the study.
