Chapter 878 - Chapter 878 Chapter 878 A Man Kneels

Chapter 878: Chapter 878: A Man Kneels Chapter 878: Chapter 878: A Man Kneels “Mom’s reasoning makes sense. Although I’m not very clear about the past events, I know that being too cautious can lead to neglecting some aspects. Sometimes, taking the plunge might lead to better results than expected,” Luo Ziling also took the opportunity to tease Luo Xusheng a few times.

“Ling’er, you sometimes act too boldly without considering the consequences,” Ling Ruonan immediately argued on behalf of Luo Xusheng, “If it had been you back then, such actions might have led to even worse results. You might have even lost your life.”

“Alright, I’ll stop talking about it,” Luo Ziling quickly changed his tone, then asked Luo Xusheng, “Dad, when are you going back?”

“It’s not decided yet, but I can’t stay for long,” Luo Xusheng sighed, “I’ll see how things go. But with my duties, I can’t stay too long; otherwise, things will get troublesome.”

“Okay,” Luo Ziling knew that matters involving the military were sensitive and thus did not ask further.

After that, Luo Ziling no longer showed any resentment towards Luo Xusheng and instead played the role of a good son, accompanying Ling Ruonan and Luo Xusheng on their outing.

It had always been his childhood dream to one day have his parents accompany him, and today that wish was finally fulfilled. Although he could not jump and shout with joy like in his younger days, the fact that the family of three could go out together made Luo Ziling quite happy.

Luo Ziling’s grudge against Luo Xusheng wasn’t really deep, mainly due to having been beaten up once. As time passed, and since he felt quite happy during their outing, Luo Ziling naturally wouldn’t hold on to it.

Luo Xusheng didn’t like to talk much, but he was still quite enthusiastic about introducing them to the sights of the Forbidden City during their outing.

Although Luo Xusheng’s explanations were things Ling Ruonan and Luo Ziling already knew, they still listened with great interest.

As a son, Luo Ziling performed his duties well, often running ahead of Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan, he pretended not to see when they occasionally held hands, and even took photos for them from time to time.

After a few rounds in the Forbidden City, Luo Ziling was surprised to see Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun following them, albeit from a distance. Knowing well what was going on, he did not go over to greet them.

The happiest person today was actually Ling Ruonan.

Her long-standing wish was finally realized; after being separated for twenty years, the family reunited for the first time and even went on an outing together. She felt as sweet as if she drank honey. Twenty years of perseverance and commitment finally paid off, how could she not be happy?

Last night, she didn’t sleep much. After doing some certain things, she rested in Luo Xusheng’s arms, sharing their life experiences from the past years while enjoying his care and love.

Despite the lack of sleep, she woke up feeling very spirited, the charm in the corner of her eyes impossible to hide.

Looking at the exceptionally handsome Luo Xusheng next to her, and looking at Luo Ziling, who was walking ahead without intruding too much on their affection, Ling Ruonan felt that any additional sacrifices were worth it. She was hopeful that before long, the three of them could live together permanently.

If the three of them could live together continually in the future, she would have no regrets.

Because Luo Xusheng was very secretive about his actions, his visit to Yanjing went unnoticed by those hostile towards him, so no one came to disrupt their romantic time. However, what Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan did not expect was that they would run into Yang Qingyin while touring the Forbidden City.

While visiting the Treasure Hall, they were suddenly startled by Yang Qingyin’s appearance.

But she quickly realized that it was Luo Ziling’s arrangement, surely Luo Ziling had informed Yang Qingyin, who appeared there.

“Mr. Luo, Mrs. Ling, I’m really sorry for interrupting your family outing,” Yang Qingyin greeted politely when they met, “Ziling told me you were visiting the Forbidden City, so I took the afternoon off to come and see you.”

Seeing Luo Xusheng’s eyes fixed on her, Yang Qingyin felt a bit creepy, but still plucked up the courage to explain, “I won’t tell anyone about today’s event.”

“How about we all go back together and have dinner later,” Ling Ruonan immediately showed her trust in Yang Qingyin and then, smiling at Luo Xusheng, said, “I really like Qingyin. She’s excellent, very sensible, well-educated and polite, and she gets along great with Ziling.”

With Luo Xusheng present, Ling Ruonan saying this made Yang Qingyin feel a bit flattered.

But she didn’t say much, just stood quietly in front of them.

Although Luo Xusheng was a bit worried about his whereabouts being revealed, he ultimately said nothing in response to Ling Ruonan’s attitude.

“Junior, your dad is definitely handsomer than you are, and more masculine,” Yang Qingyin whispered to Luo Ziling after greeting Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan, “You’re more, hehe, creamy compared to him!”

“Ah, are you trying to insult me again?” Luo Ziling said a bit indignantly. “I’m younger than him, more energetic, and funnier. Don’t you know that these are very important parts of a man’s charm?”

“Someone’s feeling insecure,” Yang Qingyin said playfully, looking at Luo Ziling. “Isn’t someone always boasting about how outstanding they are? What, now you’re even jealous of your dad?”

“Anyway, I think I’m better than my dad. My mom just said so too.”

“You’ve got a thick skin!”

Luo Ziling had nothing to say in return.

Yang Qingyin mostly kept Luo Ziling by her side while staying close to Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan. She dressed up nicely for the occasion, not worried about being recognized.

The four of them stayed in the Forbidden City until about two o’clock, and then they left.

Upon leaving, Ling Ruonan once again invited Yang Qingyin to come over for dinner that evening but instructed her not to reveal where she would be.

Yang Qingyin did not decline Ling Ruonan’s invitation and agreed readily, saying she would first head back to the university and then come over later.

As they were parting, Yang Qingyin whispered to Luo Ziling, “I want to prepare gifts for your dad and your grandfather. What do you think I should give them?”

Luo Ziling quickly shook his head. “Don’t ask me that, it’s the very thing I find most troublesome–giving gifts. Just consult with Xiaoli. Whatever you give, they’ll definitely accept and like it. It’s the thought that counts!”

“Alright,” Although somewhat unsatisfied with Luo Ziling’s response, Yang Qingyin didn’t blame him.

Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli headed back on their own, while Luo Ziling went straight to the villa with Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan.

A while after they arrived at the villa, Luo Liansheng also showed up.

Seeing his grandfather reappear after being absent for several days, Luo Ziling was instantly overjoyed, rushing to the door to welcome him and holding his hand as they walked into the villa. As Luo Ziling was leading Luo Liansheng by the hand into the villa, Luo Xusheng also came forward to greet them.

Biting his lip and lowering his head, he approached Luo Liansheng, softly called out “Dad,” and to everyone’s surprise, suddenly knelt down. “Dad, your unfilial son is unworthy to face you!”

Ling Ruonan was stunned, Luo Ziling was shocked, and Luo Liansheng was also taken aback…
