Chapter 1436: Chapter 1436: Are You Jealous?

Seeing Luo Ziling’s somewhat discontent expression, Ling Ruonan countered Luo Ziling with a question: "For example, your choices in relationships."

"Mom, why are you saying this about me?" Luo Ziling felt a bit awkward, especially with Wuyue standing nearby.

"Alright, make me a copy of the recording and video, and then go to sleep." Ling Ruonan didn’t say much more.

Luo Ziling sent the recordings and video to Ling Ruonan, but he didn’t immediately leave.

"Mom, the things Ling Haijun confessed may not be comprehensive. It’s not that he’s necessarily hiding anything, but rather there are things he simply doesn’t know. What he knows should only be the matters he’s involved in. As for many things he wasn’t part of, he certainly wouldn’t know about them."

Ling Ruonan nodded in agreement to what Luo Ziling said.

Luo Ziling continued, "The things that happened to us but weren’t confessed by Ling Haijun might have been orchestrated by Ling Zhengping and his son, or commanded by other members of the Ling Family, or possibly by others entirely. So, we still can’t figure out who exactly wants us dead."

"This isn’t something that absolutely needs to be clarified, at least not for now," Ling Ruonan said in a calm tone. "Tonight’s unexpected gains can pressure Ling Zhengping and his son into compromising and restraining their actions. At the very least, the threats from them will lessen over the next year or half."

"Mom, are you planning to meet Ling Zhengping tomorrow?"

"We’ll talk about it tomorrow!" Ling Ruonan didn’t give a direct answer and urged Luo Ziling once more to go back to his room and sleep.

Luo Ziling obediently said goodnight and returned to his room to sleep.

Wuyue didn’t leave with him, and Luo Ziling knew the two women still had things to discuss.

After returning to his room, Luo Ziling took a shower and then lay in bed playing with his phone.

There were a lot of messages on his phone.

Luo Ziling first opened the messages sent by Yang Qingyin.

"Junior, we’re taking tomorrow afternoon’s flight back to Yanjing. We’ll probably arrive in Yanjing by the evening of the day after tomorrow. A 16-hour journey will be so boring."

"Junior, I took lots of photos this time. Let’s enjoy them together when I’m back, how about that?"

"Why aren’t you replying to me?"

"Which beauty did you go out with again?"

"Hmph, annoying junior, you must have gone out to fool around!"

The last message had been sent twenty minutes earlier.

Luo Ziling calculated the time difference and replied to her message.

"I just went out for a bit. Something very interesting happened—someone fell into our trap."

Yang Qingyin quickly replied, "What happened?"

"I’ll tell you when you’re back."

Yang Qingyin responded with two rolling-eye emojis.

"I’ll send you a recording to listen to, but you have to delete it immediately after. Is that okay?"

"Alright!"

Luo Ziling edited a segment of the recording and sent it over.

About two minutes later, Yang Qingyin replied with several surprised emojis.

She then sent a voice message over a minute long: "You guys are incredible! I can’t believe you managed to run into something like this. It clearly looks like the people who most want you dead are your cousins. But honestly, their abilities are still a step behind yours. I think now that you have evidence against them, they’ll definitely be more restrained in the future. Alright, I know what this is about, I won’t ask further. It’s late at night in Yanjing, right? I won’t disturb your sleep. Sweet dreams, and don’t forget to think of me!"

"I’m planning to have a dream about you tonight." Luo Ziling replied with a mischievous message, adding a few cheeky emojis at the end.

This earned him several head-smacking emojis from Yang Qingyin.

"You go ahead and play on your own. I’m going to sleep. Goodnight!" Luo Ziling said goodnight and sent her several kissing emojis.

"Goodnight!" Yang Qingyin also replied with a few kissing emojis.

Luo Ziling then noticed there were messages from Ouyang Feifei, so he opened them.

"Still mad at me?"

"I’m guessing you’ve completely healed already. With your amazing skills, there must be no problem, right?"

"I have to praise your cooking skills. The dishes you made were really delicious."

"Do you have time tomorrow? If so, I’d like to treat you to tea or dinner as an apology. Is that okay?"

"Also, it’s been a while since you last treated me. Should we schedule another session?"

Ouyang Feifei sent five messages in one go, catching Luo Ziling off guard.

Seeing that the last message was sent half an hour ago, Luo Ziling guessed she was probably asleep by now, but he still replied to her.

"You hurt my little brother. When will it be my turn to teach your little sister a lesson?"

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Feifei replied almost immediately with just a confused emoji.

Luo Ziling didn’t respond further, setting his phone aside and preparing for sleep.

But before long, Ouyang Feifei sent another message: "What do you mean?"

"Aren’t you supposed to be a genius with an IQ of 250?"

"Luo Ziling, does insulting me make you feel accomplished?"

"Of course! Bullying a goddess-level beauty like you definitely makes me feel accomplished!"

After that, Ouyang Feifei didn’t reply, and Luo Ziling didn’t take it to heart.

Because he had stayed up late, Luo Ziling got up a bit later the next day.

By the time he woke up, Ling Ruonan had already gone to work.

She left him a message saying she had a lot of work to do today and had to leave early, so Luo Ziling should prepare breakfast himself.

She also reminded Luo Ziling not to worry about what happened yesterday, as she would handle it. He was to keep this matter from unrelated people.

Luo Ziling thought about it and ultimately decided to skip morning exercises and catch up on some sleep instead.

After all, with the freezing snow outside, such a day was perfect for sleeping in.

Back in the small mountain village in the Northwest, he also stayed indoors on snowy days, avoiding the risks of going out. There were many days he spent lazing around and sleeping in. But just as he was about to lie back down, Fang Dongxun called.

"Mr. Luo, are you free? Come out for tea. I also invited Yuqing!"

Luo Ziling thought for a moment and agreed to Fang Dongxun’s invitation: "Alright, tell me the place, and I’ll head over!"

After Fang Dongxun gave the location, he hung up the phone.

Luo Ziling called Luo Yuqing to ask where she was and if she needed him to pick her up.

Luo Yuqing said Fang Dongxun would pick her up soon, so Luo Ziling should just head straight there.

"Damn, is Fang Dongxun trying to pursue you?"

"What, are you jealous?" Luo Yuqing wasn’t annoyed; instead, she sounded quite pleased with herself.

"So what if I’m jealous?"

"Then what kind of person do you hope becomes your brother-in-law?"

"Someone better than me!"

"You think you’re so great?"

"Of course!"

"So full of yourself!" Luo Yuqing sneered on the phone, then asked, "If I ever fall in love one day, would you be upset?"

"Of course!"

"Why?"

"No reason!"

"Ah..." Suddenly, Luo Yuqing let out a scream, which startled Luo Ziling.

"What happened?"
