Chapter 1797: Chapter 1797: Different Thoughts
“If you’re reluctant to marry me, then forget it,” Yang Qingyin pinched Luo Ziling and pointed to the river shrimp at the seafood stall in front, “I want to eat shrimp, are you buying it?”
“Of course I am,” Luo Ziling laughed, pulling Yang Qingyin towards the stall to buy shrimp. “Eating shrimp can nourish the body. When a woman is pregnant, eating more shrimp will help the child grow well. I’m planning ahead.”
Yang Qingyin’s face flushed, and she reached out to pinch Luo Ziling, “Annoying, always teasing me.”
“Once you’re married to me, I’ll tease you every day. Seeing you annoyed and embarrassed makes me happy.”
“Annoying junior,” Yang Qingyin was vexed, grabbed a clawed shrimp from the vegetable vendor’s stall, and waved it in front of Luo Ziling, “Keep talking nonsense, and I’ll let the shrimp bite you. Hmph, always bullying me.”
The other customers and the vendor had long been stunned by the stunning appearances of the handsome man and the beautiful woman, watching the pair banter in front of them with curiosity, forgetting about buying or selling.
Someone couldn’t help but swallow when they saw Yang Qingyin’s appearance.
At that moment, an unexpected event occurred; amidst the playful chaos between Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin, someone recognized Luo Ziling.
The customer who watched the live broadcast of Luo Ziling competing against Xu Chongzhi looked intently and finally confirmed it was the young hero who defeated the South Korean National Physician.
He discreetly took out his phone, snapped a few photos, then handed the phone to his wife, boldly approached Luo Ziling, and asked his wife to take a photo with Luo Ziling.
After taking the photo, he shyly greeted Luo Ziling, asking if he was “Luo Ziling.” His wife had also recognized Luo Ziling, and with greater curiosity and gossip than her husband, immediately requested a photo.
Luo Ziling was somewhat embarrassed, not expecting to be recognized while buying groceries. After taking a picture with the couple, he hurriedly grabbed the shrimp and made a quick escape.
The news of “Luo Ziling shopping for groceries with his beautiful girlfriend at the market” quickly spread after the couple posted it on their social media.
By the time Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin returned to the villa, Luo Yuqing had already seen the news online about their market trip. Thus, when they entered, Luo Yuqing immediately teased them.
“Wow, you seem so loving, holding hands while grocery shopping, without disguises. Well, fortunately, your relationship is legitimate, or else you might have been caught in the act.”
Luo Yuqing’s teasing made Yang Qingyin’s face turn red. “Yuqing, what are you saying!”
“Wow, I didn’t expect you two to have such leisure to go grocery shopping together,” Luo Yuqing appeared quite touched, “Looking at you, one wouldn’t expect…”
What was unexpected, Luo Yuqing didn’t finish saying.
But Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling understood her implication, and both fell silent.
At this moment, Luo Liansheng came down from upstairs, and Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin quickly went over to greet him.
The awkwardness quickly dissolved.
By the time Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin returned after buying groceries, it was around four o’clock.
Since dinner was approaching, Luo Ziling hurried into the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing naturally followed him into the kitchen to assist.
“With a hero and two beauties helping, cooking dinner is happiness itself,” Luo Yuqing couldn’t help but tease Luo Ziling: “Shopping with beauties causes trouble, as you’re recognized and become internet news. Cooking with two beauties accompanying you, I’m considering whether to record this scene and post it on your Weibo for the world to see your happiness.”
“Don’t post this,” Luo Ziling quickly stopped her, “You could post my other matters, like our preparations for the public service advertisement.”
“That’s already been talked about enough,” Luo Yuqing’s eyes sparkled as she smiled, “How about I mention your collapse incident? Saying you researched medicine so intensely that you fainted and slept for two days before waking. If this news gets out, it would elicit sympathy and concern from a lot of people, with many pretty girls shedding tears.”
“Did you two shed tears?” Luo Ziling joked, looking at Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing, “If you cried for me, I’d be very touched.”
“I wouldn’t cry for you,” Luo Yuqing looked at him with disdain.
“But Yuqing was really worried about you; when she saw you faint, she was so anxious she could kill,” Yang Qingyin described how Luo Yuqing acted at the time, then sighed, “I think the struggle between you and my father will be his lifelong shadow.”
“Qingyin, you’re not bothered by my fight with your dad?” Luo Yuqing spoke seriously, “Today when I went to the hospital to meet your dad, I directly argued with him and scolded him harshly.”
Yang Qingyin hadn’t expected Luo Yuqing to be so candid, and immediately lost her smile.
In fact, her willingness to bring up these matters today was an attempt to let bygones be bygones through humor; she didn’t want her relationship with Luo Yuqing to become tense. She could already sense Luo Yuqing distancing herself.
If not for this factor, she wouldn’t have agreed to come for dinner tonight and help with the cooking alongside Luo Yuqing.
Unexpectedly, Luo Yuqing was so clear-cut in her love and hate, openly discussing this, and reaffirming her position, leaving Yang Qingyin very awkward.
After some thought, she finally said, “Yang Yunlin is my father, no matter what happened, he’s still my dad, irreplaceable. He loves me and Qingye; he lost reason because he suspected Ziling intended harm to Qingye. He regretted it afterward and realized it was instigated by someone. I know, this incident caused awkwardness. Later, I plan to talk to Mrs. Ling about it. Yuqing, if you’re still upset over this, I apologize on behalf of my father.”
Luo Ziling hadn’t expected the initially harmonious atmosphere to suddenly turn awkward.
He felt embarrassed.
He sensed Luo Yuqing’s resentment toward Yang Qingyin and understood Yang Qingyin’s discomfort, so he pondered and said, “Yuqing, let’s let this matter go, okay? Furthermore, Qingyin didn’t do anything wrong, if she resents her father because of this, I’d think less of her. Let’s not mention this again, shall we?”
“Alright!”
Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin nodded almost simultaneously.
But both women knew the impact of this incident wouldn’t simply fade away.
Yang Qingyin understood that Luo Yuqing could no longer be as close to her as before.
And Luo Yuqing knew that Yang Qingyin ultimately couldn’t be with Luo Ziling; therefore, Yang Qingyin’s importance in her mind was diminished. Luo Ziling’s wife candidate, she leaned again toward Dai Shulan, wanting to facilitate their union.
She had many thoughts and aspired to fulfill her dreams.
