Chapter 1226 - Chapter 1226 Chapter 1226 Grandpa Is Back

Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Grandpa Is Back Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Grandpa Is Back Luo Ziling, although he promised Ling Ruonan not to continue the treatment for Chen Xiaoyi, still felt conflicted in his heart.

He had promised Chen Xiaoyi that he would definitely help her recover her health.

For Luo Ziling, fulfilling a promise to someone was always something he tried his best to accomplish, otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable.

He would do his best to fulfill a promise made to anyone, let alone to a beautiful woman like Chen Xiaoyi.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaoyi herself had eased his worries.

After meeting with the Phoenix Club and returning to his dorm, Luo Ziling saw that Chen Xiaoyi had sent him a message.

“Ziling, I’m really sorry for putting you in a difficult position. After our argument, my mom arranged for someone to take care of me in the hospital. How about you just stop coming to treat me for a while, so there won’t be any more disputes. You’ve treated me for three days, and I feel much better now. I think I will continue to recover while being cared for in the hospital. When the opportunity is right, I’ll come to you for treatment again, is that okay?”

After reading the message several times, Luo Ziling replied to Chen Xiaoyi, “Alright then, we’ll talk about it later!”

“Thank you!” Chen Xiaoyi’s message came back very quickly.

She must have her phone right by her bed or she was perhaps looking at her phone.

After pondering for a while, Luo Ziling didn’t know what else to say to Chen Xiaoyi, so he didn’t reply to her message again.

Chen Xiaoyi didn’t send any more messages either.

A worry had been resolved, and Luo Ziling felt much more relaxed.

End-of-term exams were just two days away, and regardless, Luo Ziling still had to prepare.

So, for the next two days, he focused hard on reviewing his courses.

However, he was not studying alone but rather holed up with Yang Qingyin.

Yang Qingyin was a top student; her grades were always excellent and she could get a hefty scholarship.

Although she was indifferent about scholarships–using any she won to treat her dorm mates to a meal–her position as a top student was still important to defend.

This term, after spending time with Luo Ziling, she had devoted much less time to her studies and, seeing her position as a top student in jeopardy, she had to work hard in the days leading up to the exams.

She didn’t go to the library, as that would draw a crowd; she also disliked the bustle, so she decided to review in her own house.

When Luo Ziling found out, he went over to join in the fun.

Together, Luo Ziling’s resolve to study wavered, and he would sometimes tease Yang Qingyin, distracting her too.

Eventually, Yang Qingyin kicked him out, not allowing him to disturb her anymore.

Fortunately, the two days passed quickly, and it was finally time for end-of-term exams.

For several courses, Luo Ziling felt he did quite well, such as College Chinese, Anatomy, and Physiology. For other subjects like Marxism-Leninism, Advanced Mathematics, and Inorganic Chemistry, he felt his scores might be in the single digits.

After the exams were finished, he was quite annoyed seeing Cao Jianhui and the others looking cheerful and elated.

There were still a few days left before the holiday break after the end-of-term exams.

Before the break, the student union organized a New Year’s celebration, which was planned by Luo Yuqing; Yang Qingyin also performed.

After exams, they both dedicated themselves entirely to rehearsing for the show.

Ouyang Huihui had a performance too and was busy practicing.

Ouyang Feifei had something to do suddenly and went to Zhonghai; it was estimated that she would not be back for a few days.

Luo Ziling, who once thought there were too many women around him, suddenly felt a bit lost, like a lonely soul.

Thankfully, the day after the exams ended, his grandfather Luo Liansheng arrived in Yanjing.

Luo Ziling was watching Yang Qingyin, Luo Yuqing, and Ouyang Huihui rehearse when he received a call from Ling Ruonan, telling him his grandfather had come and asked him to come over.

After Ling Ruonan’s call, Luo Ziling immediately asked Yang Xiaodong to drive him there.

Today was a weekday, but Ling Ruonan didn’t go to her office and instead stayed at home to keep Luo Liansheng company.

It had been quite a long time since Luo Ziling last saw Luo Liansheng, so when he saw his grandfather’s familiar smile again, his eyes actually reddened.

“Grandpa, you’ve finally come,” Luo Ziling greeted him with a sniffle, “I’ve been looking forward to your visit every day!”

“Here I am, aren’t I?” Luo Liansheng looked at Luo Ziling affectionately, “I was planning to come in a few more days, but thinking that you must be missing me, I decided to visit you here in Yanjing first before heading south.”

“Grandpa, you didn’t encounter any danger, did you?” Luo Ziling approached Luo Liansheng, sizing up his grandfather, “You look much thinner, this trip must have been very tough!”

“It’s all right, I’ve returned safely, haven’t I?” Luo Liansheng fondly stroked Luo Ziling’s head, “As for you, young man, you seem more spirited than before. You also look a bit fatter.”

“I’ve been eating the feasts Mom’s been cooking, of course I’d gain weight.”

“You should come over and eat with your mom more often!”

“Okay!” Luo Ziling obediently nodded.

Seeing Luo Ziling’s eyes redden when he reunited with Luo Liansheng, Ling Ruonan felt a tinge of jealousy.

She knew that, in Luo Ziling’s heart, the bond he shared with her still wasn’t as deep as the one with his grandfather Luo Liansheng.

As a mother, she had only the merit of birthing him but not raising him, as it was Luo Liansheng who had brought him up–thinking of this made her heart sour with endless sadness.

“Grandpa, are you planning to visit Yuezhou?” Luo Ziling asked, sitting beside Luo Liansheng, his face brimming with smiles.

“I should be going there, but I’ll visit a few other places first.”

Luo Ziling wanted to say that he might visit Yuezhou too, but after some thought, he decided not to mention it.

He was afraid that Ling Ruonan would pry too deeply.

“Then come back and spend the New Year’s with us, or shall we go to Jinling and spend it with my dad?”

“We’ll see when the time comes,” Luo Liansheng patted Luo Ziling’s shoulder, “I just heard from your mom about some things, it seems that you’ve matured quite a bit after coming to Yanjing. Often now, you know how to consider issues from different perspectives.”

“I have to grow up slowly, don’t I?”

Right then, Ling Ruonan’s phone, which was lying aside, rang, interrupting their conversation.

Seeing the caller ID, Ling Ruonan said it was her father Ling Mingrui and answered the phone.

“Dad, yeah, that’s right, Ziling’s grandfather has come to Yanjing. Okay, I’ll ask him and get back to you soon!”

After hanging up the phone, Ling Ruonan addressed Luo Liansheng, “Dad, my father would like to invite you over for dinner tonight. He’ll send a car to pick you up. Would you like to go?”

“Well, he’s my in-law, and since he’s inviting me over for dinner just as I’ve arrived in Yanjing, I should give him that courtesy,” Luo Liansheng readily agreed, “Besides, I’ve brought some treasures with me; I’ll bring some for your parents.”

With Luo Liansheng agreeing so readily, Ling Ruonan breathed a sigh of relief.

Yet she still harbored faint worries, fearful that the two older men might quarrel when they met face to face.

Ling Ruonan was aware that in the past, Ling Mingrui and Luo Liansheng had argued several times in each other’s presence, each having grumbles about the other!
