Chapter 301: 301: Need It?

“`

Luo Ziling got out of the car and saw Ouyang Feifei, dressed in home attire, coming out to greet him from the living room.

“Ziling, thank you for your trouble,” Ouyang Feifei said with a smile, expressing her gratitude to Luo Ziling and inviting him inside.

When Ouyang Feifei smiled, her stunning beauty was overpowering for men, and Luo Ziling couldn’t help but stare blankly for a moment.

“It’s fine,” fortunately, he recovered quickly, “I feel quite embarrassed for not having treated you these past few days.”

Ouyang Feifei smiled faintly again, but didn’t speak.

Wang Qing didn’t follow inside; after driving the car away, she was nowhere to be seen.

In the spacious villa, there were only Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Luo Ziling knew that there were quite a few people outside Ouyang Feifei’s villa, all her bodyguards.

He could even tell that Wang Qing, the assistant, was quite skilled herself.

Wang Qing was Ouyang Feifei’s personal assistant and also her bodyguard. Wuyue, who was with Ling Ruonan, was a similar type of person. Luo Ziling didn’t know if women of high status all had someone like Wang Qing or Wuyue by their side.

While Luo Ziling’s thoughts were a jumble, Ouyang Feifei had already led him upstairs.

There was a small reception room upstairs, and Ouyang Feifei took Luo Ziling there to sit down.

“What would you like to drink?” asked Ouyang Feifei in a soft voice, “Tea or coffee?”

“Anything’s fine, tea then.”

Ouyang Feifei immediately brewed tea for Luo Ziling.

Today’s Ouyang Feifei had her long hair loose, not tied up but casually draped over her shoulders. As she bent down to make the tea, her dark hair fell like a waterfall, prompting Luo Ziling to think of a line of poetry: The gentlest is that lowering of her head.

The great poet Xu Zhimo’s classic verse seemed most apt to describe Ouyang Feifei at that moment.

As Ouyang Feifei handed the cup of tea to Luo Ziling, she softly apologized, “I originally wanted to invite you to dinner tonight to express my gratitude, but something came up last-minute and I can’t skip it. So, please forgive me.”

“It’s okay,” even though his impression of Ouyang Feifei had changed for the better over the past few days, Luo Ziling was still quite apprehensive about dining with her.

If two people are dining alone and there is nothing to say, how awkward that would be.

He would rather sit alone and eat in silence than sit together with someone and have nothing to say.

Another reason he was reluctant to dine with Ouyang Feifei was the embarrassment arising from the broken engagement, fearing she might bring it up again. Moreover, after establishing that level of relationship with Yang Qingyin, he felt it wasn’t quite appropriate to have a meal alone with Ouyang Feifei.

Eating with Yang Qingyin always felt best; everything between them was very harmonious, without the need to think about what to say or consider what to do—everything happened naturally.

“In the past years, I’ve dreaded the weather getting cooler, because my body would feel uncomfortable when it got cold. I dared not face the wind; a gust of cold breeze would make my throat itch. I think, this year, it shouldn’t be the case anymore.” Seeing Luo Ziling looking a bit shy, Ouyang Feifei continued in a soft voice, “My grandfather said your medical skills are quite remarkable. Otherwise, Li Haiyang wouldn’t have asked you to treat him.”

“I hope this can cure your illness,” Luo Ziling looked at the stunningly beautiful Ouyang Feifei and said somewhat bashfully, “You need to exercise more to strengthen your body. Once you’re stronger, your resistance will naturally improve. That way, the treatment could be more effective. You should have appropriate exercise every day. Um, I also hope to cure the illness of the senior Li Haiyang.”

Ouyang Feifei immediately picked up on Luo Ziling’s words, “If Li Haiyang’s injuries are healed, you’ll have a strong supporter. I’ve heard that your Great Grandfather isn’t in good health either. If you get a chance to treat him, the likelihood of you reuniting with the Ling Family increases. If you can cure Sir Ling’s illness and make him healthy, then no one would dare to mess with you. If the Ling Family accepts you and you’re able to return, everything will get better. Your dad and mom wouldn’t have to live like that anymore, after all, they’ve been separated for twenty years.”

“I will definitely reunite my dad and mom,” Luo Ziling nodded earnestly, then added a few words that greatly surprised Ouyang Feifei, “I’ve never thought about returning to the Ling Family. My surname isn’t Ling; it’s Luo. I belong to the Luo Family. My name is Luo Ziling, not Ling Ziling. I hope, with my arrival in Yanjing, I won’t leave again. I not only want to stand my ground in Yanjing but also carve out a world for myself. Who knows, maybe one day the Luo Family in Yanjing will be a name that many look up to.”

Luo Ziling’s words naturally shocked Ouyang Feifei.

“You actually think that way?” She took a while to regain her composure.

“Is it wrong to think like this?” Luo Ziling spoke with a hint of proud smile, “Not only do I want to achieve the goals I just mentioned, but I also want to promote and enhance the glory of Huaxia’s traditional medicine.”

Ouyang Feifei stared at Luo Ziling for a moment before eventually nodding gently, “I believe you will succeed. If, and I just say if, if you need my help, as long as I can, I will definitely help you. I’ve seen the wonders of Huaxia’s traditional medicine, and I also hope that traditional medicine can be brought to greater heights. And more so, I hope you can achieve all your dreams.”

Luo Ziling didn’t expect Ouyang Feifei to be so encouraging and willing to offer her help, and he couldn’t help but feel touched.

“Thank you,” he said sincerely, “If I need it, I will definitely ask for your help.”

“I should be thanking you,” Ouyang Feifei said, with a radiant smile and a hint of playfulness as she stood up, “Let’s start the treatment!”

It was the first time Luo Ziling saw such a bright smile from Ouyang Feifei and was momentarily dazzled.

He couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim, why does a woman who looks so beautiful when she smiles, so sparingly show it?

He couldn’t understand.

As Ouyang Feifei stood up and walked towards the bedroom, Luo Ziling quickly got up too and followed her into her boudoir.

Although it wasn’t the first time he had entered Ouyang Feifei’s boudoir, those were times when Wang Qing was also present.

Today, with Wang Qing absent and only him and Ouyang Feifei there, Luo Ziling felt unavoidably nervous, and his heartbeat seemed to quicken.

Huh, strange, why isn’t Wang Qing coming up to attend?

For some things that he wasn’t supposed to do, he could have asked Wang Qing to help. But with Wang Qing not coming, what should he do?

He couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Wang Qing?”

“She has some business to take care of and will be back soon.”

“I see!” Once certain that it was just the two of them in the villa, Luo Ziling felt a bit strange and once again his heart began to race.

“Do I need to take off my clothes?” At that moment, Ouyang Feifei asked softly.
