Chapter 1367: Chapter 1367: Different Moods

That night, Luo Liansheng had a sound sleep, and so did Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan.

Ziling, who slept in the air-conditioned car outside, had a peaceful sleep, but only the three women who slept in the guest room had a restless night.

Ouyang Huihui, due to the quarrel with Luo Yuqing, and after both being sent to the same room by Ziling, continued to sulk. Additionally, they were unaccustomed to the old house’s environment, feeling insecure, and the early noise of firecrackers also disturbed their sleep.

Wuyue’s mind was slightly troubled by Ziling’s last words, and the old house did not provide her a sense of security, resulting to nearly no sleep at all.

Ling Ruonan slept well all because of Luo Xusheng... even the early firecracker noises didn’t wake her up.

Luo Liansheng woke up the earliest, having returned home for the first time in decades to spend New Year in the renovated old house, surrounded by a crowd of people, making him in an exceptionally good mood.

Early in the morning, seeing that the snow had stopped, and the world outside was a snowy white, his mood was indescribably joyful.

Luo Liansheng didn’t wake up the others, but rather took a stroll outside by himself, and playfully rolled a snowman like a child before returning. When he came back, he happened to see Ziling coming out of the car.

Seeing a yawning Ziling emerge from the car, Luo Liansheng hurriedly greeted him and only then did he learn that Ziling had slept in the car last night.

However, he didn’t fuss about it, but instead asked Ziling to wake everyone else up, set off the door-opening firecrackers, and prepare to visit the ancestral tomb.

In the customs of the South, on the morning of the first day of the New Year, one must set off firecrackers, called "door-opening firecrackers," and visit the ancestors’ tombs to pay respects.

Luo Liansheng, having wandered away, had not visited his ancestors’ tomb for over twenty years.

Today he had returned, so he definitely needed to go.

Ziling woke everyone in the old house with a round of "door-opening firecrackers."

A string of loud and deafening firecrackers blasted near everyone still in their rooms, and not needing Ziling to call again, everyone crawled out of their beds and came out of their rooms.

After paying respects to Luo Liansheng, the elder, and exchanging New Year greetings, they went to wash up.

Ziling noticed that only Ling Ruonan looked fairly healthy, while the other three women all had dark circles under their eyes.

He couldn’t help but make a few jokes, which ended up annoying all the women, including Ling Ruonan who seemed in good spirits.

Even Wuyue responded with a cold face.

But Ziling didn’t care.

After having breakfast together, Luo Liansheng asked Wuyue, Ouyang Huihui, and Luo Yuqing to stay at the old house while the others went to the tomb.

But Luo Yuqing insisted on going, and so did Ouyang Huihui, saying that without a member of the Luo Family present, if visitors came to the old house, they wouldn’t know how to host. Luo Yuqing’s status was a bit awkward—if she were a daughter of the Luo Family, she should, by all rights, visit the Luo Family’s ancestral tomb, but her status was still not confirmed, so Luo Liansheng still asked her not to go.

Nevertheless, she persisted, and eventually, all the women accompanied them to the ancestral tomb.

The Luo Family’s ancestral tomb was located near the Orchid Pavilion on the mountainside, where the remains of Luo Liansheng’s parents and grandparents were buried when cremation was not required, nor was there a public cemetery, thus they were all buried on the mountain, truly returning to the earth.

When Luo Liansheng led them up the mountain, it was still quite early, and there were not many others visiting the tomb.

The mountain path was snowy and difficult to navigate, but with Luo Liansheng, Luo Xusheng, and Ziling—three members of the Luo Family accustomed to wind and snow—there was no trouble.

After visiting the tomb, they turned back.

Luo Liansheng asked Luo Ziling and Ouyang Huihui to get ready and head to the airport to pick up Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei.

Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei, the grandfather-granddaughter duo, were expected to arrive at Xiaoshan Airport around noon---if the flight is not delayed.

Originally, Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan were also supposed to go and welcome them, but Luo Liansheng said there would definitely be guests coming to the house. His two brothers, along with their families, were sure to visit the old house after visiting the cemetery, so he asked Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan to stay and help him receive the guests.

Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan accepted Luo Liansheng’s arrangement.

Luo Yuqing certainly did not want to go to pick up Ouyang Feifei, hence she decided to stay and help Luo Liansheng and Ling Ruonan with the guests, while Wuyue naturally stayed by Ling Ruonan’s side. Consequently, one of Ling Ruonan’s bodyguards drove an SUV containing Luo Ziling and Ouyang Huihui to the airport for the pick-up.

This arrangement satisfied Ouyang Huihui the most.

Because since yesterday, aside from the dozen minutes Luo Ziling picked her up until now, she hadn’t had a chance to spend time alone with Luo Ziling.

Therefore, she cherished this opportunity to be alone with him. Seeing that Luo Ziling intended to sit in the passenger seat, she directly pulled him to the back seat.

This car, arranged by Wuyue for Ling Ruonan, was equipped with soundproofing.

"Are you very unhappy?" As the car started, Ouyang Huihui couldn’t wait to ask Luo Ziling: "Do you hate me even more now?"

It being the festive season, Luo Ziling couldn’t bear to blame her, so he sighed helplessly: "Why did you have to come alone? Couldn’t you have visited here today with your grandfather and your sister?"

"They didn’t let me come with them." Ouyang Huihui pouted her lips in grievance, "If they had allowed, I wouldn’t have come here secretly by myself!"

"Alright, now that you’re here, we can go back with them later!"

Although Luo Ziling’s impression of Ouyang Huihui hadn’t improved, seeing her looking pitiable, he still refrained from scolding her.

Ouyang Huihui was still stunningly beautiful, and considering she had foolishly sneaked over to see him, Luo Ziling felt somewhat flattered and didn’t want to fuss too much. For a man, having a beautiful girl willing to do silly things for you certainly feels flattering, Luo Ziling was no exception.

"Grandfather and my sister will surely blame me, you have to help me," Ouyang Huihui said while sitting next to Luo Ziling and clasping his arm, "If you don’t help me, no one else will. After all, I came here because I missed you so much that I couldn’t help myself."

Luo Ziling glanced at the driver who kept his eyes straight ahead, pretending not to hear their conversation, but still tried forcefully to free his arm.

But Ouyang Huihui clasped it too tightly, and he couldn’t pull it free after several attempts.

In their struggle, he even touched Ouyang Huihui’s chest, the soft and bouncy feel made him give up.

All the way, Ouyang Huihui kept talking non-stop, pouring out all the grievances in her heart, but Luo Ziling didn’t say much.

Seeing that Luo Ziling was not annoyed, nor did he scold her, Ouyang Huihui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Arriving at the airport and while waiting inside, she still clung to Luo Ziling’s arm and even rested her head on his shoulder.

Luo Ziling reprimanded her a few times and struggled hard, but she ignored him and clung very tightly.

Even when Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei came out through the VIP passage, she maintained the same posture.

This made Luo Ziling feel helpless and caused Ouyang Lingyun and Ouyang Feifei to frown upon seeing this.

Upon seeing Ouyang Huihui and Luo Ziling in such a state, Ouyang Feifei, who had been hesitant about something, immediately made up her mind.
