Chapter 1500: Chapter 1500 The Situation Becomes Complicated

Luo Ziling didn’t bother to find out what they were talking about; instead, he got up and went to the kitchen, joining the buzz.

"Wuyue has been in the military before, endured hardships, so it’s understandable that she knows how to cook. But the two of you, pampered young ladies running into the kitchen one after another, well, that’s a bit hard to figure out," Luo Ziling teased Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin, who were helping Wuyue in the kitchen. "Are you planning to become virtuous wives and loving mothers, starting to learn now?"

"Shoo, shoo, shoo, stop causing trouble," Luo Yuqing waved a spoon in her hand, pretending to hit Luo Ziling. "We just feel bad about you being the only man in the kitchen while there’s a bunch of women here. We’re definitely not planning on standing guard in the kitchen every day in the future."

"You’re not welcome here; go spend time with the other beauties," Yang Qingyin chimed in, not too kindly, as she lifted the kitchen knife in her hand.

Luo Ziling, startled, quickly fled the scene.

But instead of staying in the living room, he stepped out of the house.

Yang Xiaodong approached him and said softly, "A lot has happened while we weren’t in Yanjing."

"What’s going on?"

"Around this neighborhood, there have been occasional sightings of mysterious figures," Yang Xiaodong whispered. "They suspect someone might be targeting your mother. Also, during this period, Yang Yunlin has been especially active, even visiting the Ling Family Old Mansion once. After Chen Jiahai was discharged and went home, the Chen Family seems to have become lively again. It’s like the calm before the storm!"

"Then you should increase vigilance to avoid trouble," Luo Ziling said, then asked Yang Xiaodong with some confusion, "While we were in Chang’an, we didn’t encounter any trouble. Isn’t that a bit unusual? Logically, knowing we were in Chang’an, those who wanted revenge should’ve made a move."

"Ouyang Feifei brought quite a few people along, and there were others around us as well. Knowing that, they probably didn’t dare take action," Yang Xiaodong offered his theory. "Plus, our movements were unpredictable, and we didn’t use public transportation."

After a pause, Yang Xiaodong added, "Actually, we arranged another group of people with several vehicles to act as decoys and try to lure those people out, but it didn’t work."

"Looks like you didn’t exactly have an easy time while we were enjoying ourselves in Chang’an."

"We’re used to it," Yang Xiaodong chuckled. "It wasn’t bad though. We got to follow you guys everywhere, and it’s been pretty relaxing."

"Later, let’s discuss the situation and ideas with Wuyue," Luo Ziling said, giving Yang Xiaodong’s shoulder a firm pat and reminding him again, "For now, you all need to follow Wuyue’s instructions. She’s the person my mom trusts the most."

"Understood," Yang Xiaodong replied straightforwardly without arguing.

"I noticed you and Wang Qing holding hands during the trip to Chang’an. Are things progressing between you two?"

Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling brought this up, catching Yang Xiaodong off guard. Despite his surprise, he answered honestly, "It’s nothing much, really. We just held hands briefly, no other significant developments."

"Keep it up! Try to win her heart soon."

"You’ve got to help us out!"

"How?"

"Spend more time with Ouyang Feifei and Yang Qingyin, you know. Maybe get things rolling," Yang Xiaodong suggested with a mischievous smile.

Luo Ziling ignored Yang Xiaodong and went back inside.

When he returned to the house, Ling Ruonan and Ouyang Feifei had already come out from the study. Both of them looked calm, so they probably hadn’t talked about anything too thrilling.

The food was ready, and Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing were setting the table. They both seemed very industrious.

"Having so many women in the house feels really different," Luo Ziling remarked with a touch of sentimentality.

"Well, just host meals every day then," Luo Yuqing rolled her eyes at him, leaned in, and whispered in his ear, "If you love the liveliness, just marry them all. I know you struggle with making choices."

"Your imagination is way too active. One idea after another. Don’t bother me," Luo Ziling pushed her away.

"Mrs. Ling, look at this, Ziling is always bullying me," Luo Yuqing immediately complained to Ling Ruonan. "He’s been pestering me and bullying me a lot lately."

"Having a handsome guy bully you is something to be happy about," Luo Ziling retorted casually, giving Luo Yuqing a pat on the shoulder. "If there comes a day when I don’t even bother teasing you, you’ll be a total wreck."

"You’re awful!" Luo Yuqing kicked him lightly. "Are you really my brother?"

"Alright, alright, stop bickering," Ling Ruonan pulled Luo Yuqing aside. "You’re both acting like children. Aren’t you worried about looking ridiculous in front of others? Ziling, you’re a man, and you should be a bit more accommodating towards the ladies."

"Exactly, you’re a man, so be accommodating to me," Luo Yuqing proudly raised her small fist toward Luo Ziling.

Seeing the dynamic between Ling Ruonan and Luo Yuqing transform into this close bond, both Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei were visibly surprised.

They had underestimated Ling Ruonan’s tolerance.

During the meal, everyone was relatively quiet, and Luo Ziling was the one who spoke the most. He couldn’t stop praising Wuyue’s cooking, encouraging the other women to learn from her, almost making Wuyue feel embarrassed.

After dinner, Luo Ziling pulled Wuyue, who was about to clean up the dishes, aside to discuss something.

Being tugged away in front of everyone made Wuyue incredibly uncomfortable. Her face turned red.

But ultimately, she didn’t pull away and let Luo Ziling lead her out of the doorway.

Outside, Luo Ziling finally released her hand and called over Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun.

The four of them moved to a small neighboring utility room to discuss recent events.

Wuyue didn’t hold back, sharing what had happened over the past period and some suspicious conclusions with them.

"I have a gut feeling that the upcoming period will be eventful. The phrase ’the calm before the storm’ fits perfectly. We must be on high alert for potential retaliation from the Chen Family and the Yang Family," Wuyue said after expressing her perspective. "Over the next six months, we need to raise the security level for the young lady and Yuqing, especially during outings. We must implement meticulous security plans. Additionally, we should think about taking proactive measures to avoid being caught off guard."

Luo Ziling nodded in agreement with Wuyue’s thoughts and then told Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun, "From now on, let Wuyue organize everything. Don’t worry about my safety; I believe as long as I’m careful, no one can actually get to me."

Wuyue pondered for a moment and added a suggestion, "Young Master, I have an idea. If Lin Lan isn’t assigned to anything crucial, maybe let her shadow you discreetly. It might yield unexpected benefits."

"That’s absolutely not acceptable!"

"If you talk to her, she’ll agree," Wuyue said, biting her lip. "In fact, she’s reached out to me in the past few days."

"What?"
