Chapter 555: Chapter 555: If You’re Not Convinced, Bite Me
(Third update)
“Ling’er, you play with Wuyue for a while, Mum is going to talk with Qingyin,” after exchanging courtesies, Ling Ruonan instructed Luo Ziling to sit with Wuyue, while she had a conversation with Yang Qingyin.
Luo Ziling naturally agreed.
Luo Ziling approached Wuyue, who was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit that showcased her exquisite figure, and smiled, “Sister Wuyue, I haven’t seen you in several days, and you’ve become even more beautiful.”
Wuyue, who originally had a cool and composed expression, blushed at Luo Ziling’s words and replied somewhat shyly, “Young Master is jesting.”
“How about we take this chance while they’re talking to practice a bit?” Luo Ziling took the initiative to suggest sparring with Wuyue.
Wuyue, who had not planned to spar with Luo Ziling that day, did not decline when Luo Ziling suggested it.
So, while Ling Ruonan and Yang Qingyin were hiding in the study for a private talk, Luo Ziling and Wuyue began to practice in the courtyard.
When they started, it naturally caught the attention of Ling Ruonan and Yang Qingyin, both of whom peeked out from the window.
Seeing Luo Ziling and Wuyue practicing martial arts, they both withdrew their heads back.
Wuyue didn’t dare to use her full strength in the fight against Luo Ziling, and since there was a slight gap in speed, she was at a disadvantage the entire time.
After practicing for a while, Luo Ziling, getting playful, grabbed Wuyue’s long leg during a side kick and threw her out. Wuyue’s reaction was quick, and after flipping in mid-air, she managed to land steadily.
But Luo Ziling clearly saw her expression turn a bit awkward, as if her face had reddened slightly.
He didn’t take much notice and continued to actively attack.
After sparring for a while, Wuyue conceded defeat.
“Sister Wuyue, are you in charge of all my mother’s bodyguards?” After finishing their practice, as they stood in the courtyard talking, Luo Ziling asked Wuyue about the situation.
“Yes,” Wuyue had regained her usual composure and answered Luo Ziling’s question seriously: “There are fifteen security personnel around Miss, all personally recruited by me, mostly from retired special forces or marines. They are skilled and their loyalty has also been tested.”
“When can they spar with me as well?” Luo Ziling didn’t question Wuyue’s loyalty or her ability to manage the bodyguards; instead, he brought up another matter, “I want to test their skills.”
Wuyue immediately understood that Luo Ziling wanted to spar with the martial artists to teach them some of his special moves. Luo Ziling was considering the safety of Ling Ruonan, wanting the bodyguards around his mother to improve their skills. Realizing this, Wuyue felt a little touched and agreed immediately. She said she would arrange a suitable time for them to exchange moves with Luo Ziling.
She also hoped to receive guidance from Luo Ziling frequently and wanted him to instruct the other security personnel as well.
Luo Ziling naturally agreed.
After pondering for a moment, he asked Wuyue whether the security personnel around Ling Ruonan belonged to the Ling Family or to her personally.
Wuyue understood the purpose behind Luo Ziling’s inquiry and didn’t hide anything, she told him everything: “These bodyguards don’t belong to the Ling Family; they’re only loyal to Miss and are under my full management. The Ling Family has its own guard team. Before, the Ling Family’s guards also followed Miss, but since the year before last, Miss’s security has been the responsibility of personnel she recruited herself.”
Upon hearing Wuyue’s response, Luo Ziling breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help praising her, “Sister Wuyue, you’ve done an excellent job, I’m really grateful for your dedication in protecting my mother.”
Wuyue seriously replied, “Young Master flatters me, it’s my duty. Ensuring Miss’s safety is the most important thing in my life. As long as I’m alive, I will never let Miss’s safety be compromised.”
“I believe you can do it.”
By this time, Ling Ruonan and Yang Qingyin had finished their conversation and came out of the study into the yard.
“You guys were fighting again? Ling’er, you can’t bully girls,” Ling Ruonan said jokingly to Luo Ziling before asking, “Which one of you is stronger?”
“Miss, of course, the young master is stronger,” Wuyue hurriedly answered. “He’s always been easy on me, but I still can’t beat him.”
Luo Ziling also replied, “Mom, I’m faster than Sister Wuyue, but my actual combat experience is no match for hers. Let’s learn from each other in the future!”
After thinking for a moment, Ling Ruonan nodded in agreement, “That’s a good idea, you should improve together.” Then she added to Luo Ziling, “But be gentle when sparring, don’t hurt Wuyue, and Wuyue, you also need to be careful not to injure Ling’er.”
“Yes, Miss!” Wuyue quickly agreed.
Luo Ziling replied with a smile, “Mom, don’t worry, it’s fine. Grandpa used to hit me often, saying if I wanted to succeed and not get beaten by others later, I had to learn how to take a beating at the start.”
“Your grandfather would never hit you hard,” Ling Ruonan gave Luo Ziling a glance, unwilling to talk more about things related to Luo Liansheng in front of Yang Qingyin and Wuyue, “Alright, go inside and rest. I’m going to prepare lunch.”
“Mrs. Ling, let me help you,” Yang Qingyin immediately volunteered to help Ling Ruonan with the cooking, and Ling Ruonan did not refuse.
Luo Ziling, who originally wanted to ask Yang Qingyin what they had been talking about, now had no choice but to continue chatting with Wuyue in the living room.
Wuyue wasn’t a very good conversation partner because she liked to be silent and talk less.
Luo Ziling would only get an answer from her when he asked something; if he did not ask, she would rather stay silent than bring up things on her own initiative.
Eventually, Luo Ziling found it a bit dull and turned on the TV to watch.
While Luo Ziling was watching TV, Wuyue also went to the kitchen to help out.
After lunch, Yang Qingyin left first.
Luo Ziling escorted Yang Qingyin out of the residential area.
On the way out of the neighborhood, Luo Ziling quietly asked Yang Qingyin, “What exactly did you and my mom talk about?”
“You could guess even if you didn’t ask,” Yang Qingyin answered with a smile. “Definitely about recent events, and my stance on the marriage alliance with the Fang Family. I thought it was more appropriate for me to bring these things up with your mom rather than waiting for her to ask me.”
“That’s thoughtful of you!” Luo Ziling immediately felt a warm sentiment and quickly cracked a joke, “Did you say anything bad about me in front of my mom?”
“Of course, from head to toe,” Yang Qingyin replied playfully with a smile, “When you get back later, wait for your mom to scold you.”
“Alright then,” Luo Ziling put on a pitiful face: “I now realize that senior sister has a habit of speaking ill of others behind their backs; I’ll have to be wary of senior sister from now on.”
“Hmph,” Yang Qingyin proudly tilted her head, “That’s the kind of person I am, petty. If you don’t like it, bite me!”
“Okay, do you need me to bite you now?” Luo Ziling moved closer to Yang Qingyin, appearing as if he was about to kiss her.
Yang Qingyin couldn’t help but start laughing, and after pushing Luo Ziling away, she fled.
But when they contacted Ye Xiaoli at the entrance of the residential area to pick up Yang Qingyin, Ye Xiaoli told them something rather surprising.
Today, someone had apparently been following Yang Qingyin.
