Chapter 1482: Chapter 1482: You Really Have a Thick Skin

(Today’s four Chapters have been updated)

The sky gradually darkened, and the lights on the city walls finally lit up.

The scale of the city wall light show couldn’t compare to the one at Tang Paradise, but it was pretty well done. Coupled with the nicely decorated lights near the South Gate, the entire world seemed prettier.

Yang Qingyin appeared to have cast aside her messy thoughts and asked Luo Ziling to take photos of her.

In the past, Yang Qingyin didn’t like taking pictures, especially in chaotic or crowded places.

But today, despite the crowd on the South Gate city wall, she was very keen to pose in front of the light displays and have Luo Ziling take photos of her.

After Luo Ziling took a few photos for her, he handed the phone over to Ye Xiaoli and stood next to Yang Qingyin, asking Ye Xiaoli to take a picture of them together. But Yang Qingyin wasn’t very cooperative—after a few group shots, she left him alone.

Ouyang Feifei, on the other hand, didn’t particularly enjoy the bustling atmosphere. Combined with the somewhat unreasonable arrangement of the light displays and the overwhelming crowd, it proved challenging to take a picture without someone photobombing. Therefore, she wasn’t very interested in taking photos.

"Do you want me to take a few pictures for you?" Luo Ziling offered proactively.

Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Ziling for a moment before agreeing and handed him her phone to help take photos.

Ouyang Feifei had two phones—one for personal use and one for work-related communications. Before her association with Luo Ziling, she would leave both phones with Wang Qing, even the personal one. It was only after her closer relationship with Luo Ziling that she started keeping her personal phone on her.

Still, she rarely took pictures. During this trip to Chang’an, the number of photos she took was higher than usual. After Luo Ziling helped her take a few photos, he smiled and teased, "A beauty is always a beauty, even without posing, the pictures turn out amazing."

"Your beauty is up ahead, about to get angry again," Ouyang Feifei took back her phone without looking at the photos Luo Ziling had taken and retorted discontentedly, "If she storms off angry and disappears, where are you going to find her?"

"That’s one thing you’re better at than her; you wouldn’t throw a tantrum like that."

"Who said I can’t throw tantrums?" Ouyang Feifei snapped, "I’m also a woman. Why can’t I?"

"Alright, alright, you have your tantrums; I’ve already experienced them," Luo Ziling said, ending the conversation and chasing after Yang Qingyin.

Ouyang Feifei snorted twice but eventually followed behind.

After spending around half an hour viewing the lights, the group descended from the city wall at the South Gate.

The South Gate square offered nice scenery too. After wandering around casually and taking a few photos, Luo Ziling proposed again to have dinner.

It was already 6:30, and Luo Ziling’s feeling of hunger hadn’t faded.

His famished demeanor once again earned disdainful looks from the women.

However, they didn’t insist further and went along with Luo Ziling’s suggestion, heading to a nearby restaurant that looked somewhat high-end for dinner.

Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun joined in at the dining table as well. Upon sitting down, Yang Xiaodong immediately explained to Luo Ziling, "Boss, don’t blame us for anything; we had no choice in these matters."

"We’re living in the cracks, hated on all sides. In the end, we decided to just listen to the women," Wang Zhenjun chimed in, chuckling.

"I’ll keep your bad deeds in mind. Don’t blame me for being ruthless when the time comes," said Luo Ziling, his tone mocking but his expression grave as though gritting his teeth.

"You might be the least popular person here," Yang Qingyin said while sipping tea and giving Luo Ziling a side-eye. "If I were in your place, I’d have vanished long ago. Who has skin as thick as yours to stick around here?"

"Haha, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that," Luo Ziling rolled his eyes. "A man should have tolerance; while I might not have the vast tolerance of a prime minister’s belly, I’m sure I won’t be narrow-minded like women."

"Your skin is indeed thick," Ouyang Feifei interjected sarcastically. "You dare to launch an attack in front of so many women?"

"I’m surprised you even know what an ’attack’ is; well, well, well," Luo Ziling retorted mockingly. "I thought you were an otherworldly creature, untainted by the mortal world, and avoiding the internet. Haha, haha, haha!"

Luo Ziling’s repeated "haha" was effective in riling up Ouyang Feifei, who glared at him with an expression that could kill. But Luo Ziling remained unfazed.

The meal concluded amidst their bickering and playful banter, taking less than an hour.

Throughout the dinner, Luo Ziling, Yang Qingyin, and Ouyang Feifei were the ones speaking, while the other four hardly chimed in.

After the meal, Luo Ziling stood up. "I’m heading out to pick up Luo Yuqing. You all can go back to the hotel and rest."

He then instructed Yang Xiaodong to drive him there.

"I’m coming too," Yang Qingyin stood up and said, "I already talked to her earlier; we’re sharing a room tonight."

"Alright then," Luo Ziling agreed.

"I’ll tag along too; I have nothing to do this evening," Ouyang Feifei suggested as well.

"Wow, such a grand parade," Luo Ziling glanced at Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei. "Does she really warrant all of us going to pick her up?"

"If you prefer, you can stay at the hotel while we go?" Ouyang Feifei sneered at him.

"If I don’t go, that woman might show up with a knife to hack me to pieces," Luo Ziling replied with a helpless smile. "Fine, I’ll give my dear sister some face; let’s all go. Two cars should fit us."

Only then did Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei drop the conversation.

Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun naturally took up the responsibility of driving. Luo Ziling thought briefly before having Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei ride in the same car, along with Wang Qing and Ye Xiaoli. He himself got into the front passenger seat of the other car driven by Yang Xiaodong.

After getting in the car, he ordered Yang Xiaodong to start driving immediately.

"Boss, what’s your plan here? Trying to be the fisherman?"

"What do you mean?" Luo Ziling frowned and asked Yang Xiaodong.

"It’s like the clam and the snipe fighting, and the fisherman reaping the benefits," Yang Xiaodong said with a mischievous grin.

"Shut up. If you keep talking, no one will mistake you for mute," Luo Ziling threatened viciously. "In a few days, my dad’s returning to Yanjing, and I’ll have a good chat with him about all your great exploits. We’ll see if he praises you or asks you to reflect."

Yang Xiaodong instantly groaned, pleading incessantly with Luo Ziling not to report any of this to Luo Xusheng.

Luo Ziling ignored him.

The two cars drove out of the city one after the other and onto the expressway heading to Xianyang International Airport.

The road out of the city was a bit congested, but the highway had fewer cars. The group took about fifty minutes to reach the airport.

However, just as they arrived at the airport, an unexpected incident occurred.
