Chapter 1460: Chapter 1460: Today Is Truly Blissful

In the kitchen, Luo Ziling, busy with cooking, had no clue that in just a short moment, Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin had reached some sort of "agreement."

Friendships between women can be strange—it sparks in an instant and can fade just as quickly.

When Luo Ziling came out of the kitchen carrying a dish and saw Luo Yuqing holding Yang Qingyin’s hand as they sat closely together on the sofa chatting warmly, he was momentarily stunned.

"Senior, you’re here?" Luo Ziling placed the dish on the dining table, then walked over with a smile. "Wow, you’re looking especially gorgeous today."

Luo Yuqing crossed her arms and snapped at Luo Ziling, "You two are already acting like a couple, yet you’re still calling her ’Senior’ like you’re in some school play? So lame!"

"How is that any of your business?" Luo Ziling retorted angrily in a raised voice.

"See that? Look at him, just look at him!" Luo Yuqing turned to Yang Qingyin with a face full of grievance. "I’ve only been ’his sister’ for about five minutes, and he’s already being rude to me. Qingyin, you’ve got to discipline him. Teach him the proper hierarchy of elders and juniors in the family!"

"Alright, alright, then how about this big sister gets into the kitchen to work? How does that sound?"

"Hmph, wasn’t it you who promised you’d cook for us three beauties tonight? Are you trying to worm your way out of it again?" With an annoyed tone, Luo Yuqing kicked Luo Ziling in the shin. "Get back to the kitchen and cook! Stop interrupting our girl-talk."

"Alright, alright, I’ll cook," Luo Ziling raised his hands in surrender and turned to Yang Qingyin with a grin. "Senior, you keep chatting with Yuqing. I’ll get dinner ready."

"Need any help?" Yang Qingyin asked with a cheerful smile. "I can at least assist with some minor tasks!"

"See, see!" Luo Ziling pointed at Yang Qingyin indignantly and said to Luo Yuqing, "How is it that you’re both women, but your attitude is completely different from hers? You don’t even look better than Qingyin, yet your temper is so much worse!"

After finishing his words, Luo Ziling fled into the kitchen in a hurry, avoiding Luo Yuqing’s wrath.

In her fury, Luo Yuqing jumped up, ready to charge after Luo Ziling to settle the score, but Yang Qingyin quickly grabbed her arm and held her back.

Observing Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing’s behavior, Yang Qingyin could sense that the dynamic between the siblings had already drastically shifted compared to before.

Perhaps soon, the two would fully adapt to their sibling roles.

With one less obstacle in her "love life" and the potential addition of an ally, Yang Qingyin’s mood significantly improved.

Just as Luo Ziling finished preparing dinner, Ling Ruonan arrived home.

Wuyue followed closely behind her as they stepped into the living room.

"Wow, what a lively gathering tonight—four stunning beauties dining with me," Luo Ziling teased, winking at Wuyue before smiling at Ling Ruonan. "Mom, had a long day? Go wash your hands and get ready to eat. Tonight’s dishes are top-notch—I promise you’ll love them."

Wuyue gave Luo Ziling a side-eye glance without saying a word.

In the kitchen, Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing, who had been fetching plates and utensils, immediately set everything down and hurried over to greet Ling Ruonan upon her return.

Yang Qingyin handed over a gift she had brought back for Ling Ruonan from America and shyly said, "Mrs. Ling, just a little something I picked up in the U.S. I hope you won’t mind."

"Thank you," Ling Ruonan accepted the gift with ease, without a hint of pretension, and thanked Yang Qingyin warmly. "That’s very thoughtful of you!"

"I hope you’ll like it," Yang Qingyin replied with a sweet smile. She then handed out the prepared presents to Luo Yuqing and Wuyue as well.

Luo Yuqing and Wuyue also readily accepted the gifts without hesitation.

While the three women sat together chatting and examining the gifts, Luo Ziling took the opportunity to snap a few photos with his phone. Picking a few shots he found suitable, he quickly uploaded them to his social media feed with a post.

The caption read: "I’m deliriously happy tonight—having dinner with FOUR beauties!"

After posting, he set his phone aside and invited the four women to take their seats at the dining table.

Ling Ruonan sat between Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin, while Luo Ziling positioned himself between Yang Qingyin and Wuyue.

During dinner, no serious topics came up—just casual small talk. At Luo Yuqing’s urging, Yang Qingyin shared entertaining anecdotes from her trip to America. After everyone finished eating, Luo Yuqing volunteered to clear the table, and Wuyue joined in to help.

Ling Ruonan signaled for Yang Qingyin to follow her to the study for a private conversation. Yang Qingyin, who was originally going to help clean up, followed Ling Ruonan’s instructions instead.

Luo Ziling didn’t interrupt their chat, nor did he plan to help tidy up with Luo Yuqing and Wuyue. Instead, he relaxed on the sofa with his phone. His earlier post on social media had already garnered many likes and comments.

"Boss, you’re incredible, dining with so many beauties! So envious it’s killing me!" commented Cao Jianhui.

"Boss, are you trying to make us all jealous to death?" wrote Li Fuming, adding a string of angry emojis to his comment.

"Should the three of us sneak in late at night and...ahem, ’fix’ you so beauties won’t excite you anymore?" Wu Longjiang, as expected, contributed the most vulgar comment.

Even Ouyang Feifei joined the comments section, her tone dripping with sarcasm: "You didn’t invite me to taste your cooking? How heartless!" She included several eyeroll emojis.

Chen Xiaoyi also left a lighthearted comment: "Next time, I’m coming over for dinner."

Just as Luo Ziling was scrolling through the comments, Ouyang Feifei directly messaged him: "Looks like you’re going to stand me up again for what you promised?"

"Promised you what?" Luo Ziling was momentarily confused and replied with a question.

Ouyang Feifei didn’t reply further.

After thinking about it for a bit, Luo Ziling finally remembered what he had promised and sent a follow-up message: "If I have time, I’ll come over to help you with treatment."

"If it’s inconvenient, forget it!"

Ouyang Feifei replied, then followed up with another message: "Yang Qingyin just got back from America; you should spend time with her instead!"

"Every word oozes jealousy!"

Ouyang Feifei responded with only a few rolling-eyes emojis.

Choosing not to bother further, Luo Ziling headed to the kitchen to check on the two women cleaning up.

By the time Luo Yuqing and Wuyue finished washing dishes, Ling Ruonan and Yang Qingyin were still deep in conversation.

"Young Master, can we talk for a moment?" Wuyue approached Luo Ziling and lowered her voice.

"Alright," Luo Ziling nodded, motioning for Wuyue to follow him upstairs.

"Young Master, Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun have been somewhat uncooperative with instructions," Wuyue said softly after they entered Luo Ziling’s room. "I’d prefer if they could align with my directives. Can you have a word with them?"

"What exactly is this about?"

"I haven’t been informed about most of their recent actions."

With a faintly aggrieved look, Wuyue gazed at Luo Ziling for a long moment before adding quietly, "So you truly want to drive me away from your mom’s side?"
