Chapter 869 - Chapter 869 Chapter 869 The Mysterious Man in Black Appears

Chapter 869: Chapter 869: The Mysterious Man in Black Appears Chapter 869: Chapter 869: The Mysterious Man in Black Appears Luo Ziling left, and Ye Xiaoli returned shortly after.

When Ye Xiaoli came back, Yang Qingyin was in the bathroom washing her face.

“Miss,” Ye Xiaoli, who had originally thought Luo Ziling would stay to accompany Yang Qingyin, quietly asked, “Have you two made up?”

Ye Xiaoli didn’t know the extent of Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling’s relationship progress, but she inferred from the fact that they often spent the night together that they must have already been intimate.

In Ye Xiaoli’s memory, Yang Qingyin had spent the night with Luo Ziling three or four times.

Logically speaking, having spent so many nights together, it was certain they had become physically involved.

Ye Xiaoli knew that Yang Qingyin was a very conservative person, who held her emotions and her body in high regard.

Yang Qingyin would never easily give away her feelings, much less engage in close relationships with a man so casually.

Since Ye Xiaoli had been with Yang Qingyin, she had seen quite a few people pursue her, but no one had ever caught Yang Qingyin’s eye.

Lu Weiguang was someone who got relatively close to Yang Qingyin because they shared common interests.

But even Lu Weiguang, who had known Yang Qingyin since they were young, never had the chance to hold her hand, not even a courteous gesture of handholding.

It could be said that, except for her elders, no other man had the chance to hold her hand.

Yang Qingyin was proud, and coupled with her excellent family background, there were very few men who could catch her eye, even fewer whom she considered worth befriending.

The fortunate ones who got to hold her hand, to be seen with her in public, to spend beautiful nights together, were only Luo Ziling himself.

If Yang Qingyin was willing to engage in hugging and kissing with a man, it signified that she regarded this man as her partner, the kind of couple she was willing to be with forever. If she was willing to give her heart and body to this man, then unless there were unpredictable circumstances, such as the recent incident where Ouyang Huihui impersonated Luo Ziling to break up with Yang Qingyin, she would not easily fall out of love or break contact with this man.

Yang Qingyin was proud, but she was very steadfast when it came to relationships.

Ye Xiaoli was well aware of Yang Qingyin’s temperament and knew very well the importance of Luo Ziling to her.

Therefore, she was willing to defy the wishes of the Yang family elders to help Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin be together.

During this recent incident, Ye Xiaoli was extremely anxious. She hoped the two could clear up misunderstandings and return to normalcy.

She would be happier than anyone if the two reconciled, which is why she even agreed to have a late-night meal alone with Wang Zhenjun.

Today, Luo Ziling, who was supposed to stay with Yang Qingyin, had suddenly left, which surprised Ye Xiaoli, and she was deeply afraid that the misunderstandings between the two hadn’t been completely resolved. She knew that sometimes Yang Qingyin liked to be slightly capricious; it was just her nature.

And Luo Ziling was also proud, just like that day in Lucheng. After arguing with Yang Qingyin for a few sentences, he almost left in a huff.

Ye Xiaoli feared that the two might have had another argument while together today because of this incident. If that were the case, she would definitely need to do something. That’s why she boldly asked Yang Qingyin if they had made up.

“Why do you ask that?” Yang Qingyin carefully plucked an extra eyebrow hair with tweezers while casually responding to Ye Xiaoli’s question, “What difference does it make if we made up or not?”

“Miss, Mr. Luo…” Ye Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, but still honestly answered, “We all hope that you and Mr. Luo can end up together, so we care a lot about your current situation.”

“We? Who does ‘we’ refer to?” Yang Qingyin turned her head and looked at Ye Xiaoli, asking with a smile that was not quite a smile, “Other than you, who else? Wang Zhenjun?”

Ye Xiaoli became somewhat flustered but ultimately did not deny it, “Them too.”

Yang Qingyin then asked, “Wang Zhenjun plans to pursue you, what do you think about that?”

Ye Xiaoli’s face flushed immediately, she lowered her head and after a few moments of bashful fidgeting, she answered in a quiet voice, “I haven’t thought it through yet.”

“Since you don’t dislike him, why not give dating a try? You’re not getting any younger, and you can think about settling down,” Yang Qingyin said in a big sisterly manner. “That guy may be slick, but he’s a decent person and competent, plus he’s an ex-service member. You might want to consider it.”

“Thank you for your concern, miss.” Ye Xiaoli expressed her gratitude, then steered the conversation back to Luo Ziling, “Miss, you and Mr. Luo?”

“Nothing’s going on right now, it’s the same as before,” Yang Qingyin smiled slightly, “He should be meeting the person who attacked him tonight.”

“Who could that person be?”

“Don’t ask, you’ll find out in time.”

“Alright!”

——-

When Luo Ziling went to see Ling Ruonan, he didn’t call her in advance, so when he showed up at the villa, Ling Ruonan, who was reading, was quite surprised.

“Ling’er, why have you come over?” Ling Ruonan, who had been reading in the study, hurriedly put down her book to greet him, “What’s happened?”

It was already nine in the evening. Luo Ziling showing up at this time meant he definitely needed her for something.

Since Luo Ziling’s injuries were on his hands and legs and his face was unmarked, Ling Ruonan could not tell that he was injured.

“Mom, I’m here to wait for someone. Maybe he’ll come to you,” Luo Ziling chuckled, “He might show up any minute now.”

“Ah?!” Ling Ruonan gasped softly, then quickly understood who Luo Ziling was referring to!

Watching Ling Ruonan’s pretty face turn red in an instant, her breathing and heartbeat quickening.

Just as Luo Ziling was about to say something else, there were sounds from outside the villa, like footsteps of several people.

Then, the footsteps paused for a moment, and when they reached the steps, it became the sound of one person’s footsteps, which were much lighter.

If it wasn’t for Luo Ziling’s keener-than-average hearing, he might not have noticed the footsteps approaching the house.

The steps stopped in front of the courtyard, and for a good while there was silence.

Both Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan stared at the doorway, waiting for the person to push the door open.

One second, two seconds, one minute, two minutes… At least five minutes passed, and there was still no movement at the doorway.

Even Luo Ziling started to doubt whether the faint footsteps he heard earlier were an illusion.

Ling Ruonan had also scarcely heard the footsteps outside, but she wasn’t entirely sure. It was from Luo Ziling shifting his attention and a faint sense of something unusual that she sensed something was amiss, so she held her breath and waited in silence.

Just as Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan began to think it was just an illusion, the door was finally gently pushed open.

However, all they saw was a hand, a hand dressed in black. The hand seemed to lack strength, and the push appeared very laborious; even the door that Ling Ruonan could easily open took a lot of effort for him to barely move.

The door opened inch by inch, eventually reaching an angle as wide as an arm.

Finally, the owner of the black-clad arm made an appearance.
