Luo Ziling guessed that Yang Qingyin already knew some things, and it was even possible she was clear that the last incident was orchestrated by Yang Yunlin himself.

However, he still didn't want to tell Yang Qingyin what he knew.

Seeing that Luo Ziling was unwilling to say anything, Yang Qingyin didn't press him.

The two then started talking about their upcoming trip to the South.

Yang Qingyin planned a week-long itinerary, roughly arranged as five days in Qiantang and two days in Yuezhou. They'll decide the specific plans once they get there!

"If there's time, we can visit Yangzhou and see if March is full of blossoms there," Luo Ziling suggested.

Yang Qingyin didn't object: "Sure, as long as there's time, we can visit Yangzhou and Gusu. Spring Charm of the South sounds lovely no matter where you go."

Throughout the meal, the two only talked about their trip and didn't bring up any issues related to the recent disputes.

"This time, during the trip, no posting on Weibo or Moments; even if posting on Moments, set it to 'only visible to yourself,'" Yang Qingyin humorously reminded Luo Ziling, "Otherwise, your fans will drop sharply, many little girls will surely be heartbroken."

"So you're still bold enough to publicly hold my hand as we walked out of campus today?"

Yang Qingyin laughed like a sly fox, "Today's photos definitely won't get out, I can guarantee that."

"Then I'll just post photos of the scenery, is that okay?"

"That's your business, nothing to do with me."

Before the meal, both were in low spirits, deeply pondering over their sorrows.

But a few playful exchanges during the meal successfully lifted all the gloom.

After arranging their trip plan, the two left the private room.

"I'm heading back to school, where are you going?" Yang Qingyin asked softly as she put on her glasses when leaving the private room, "Wang Zhenjun is dismantling the security equipment on the acupuncture bronze man for the past two days, so I won't return home for now."

After being warned last time, Luo Ziling swiftly relocated the acupuncture bronze man back to Ling Ruonan's villa.

Since the place where the acupuncture bronze man was kept was exposed, it had to be moved.

During the move, the security equipment also needed to be removed, but after Wang Zhenjun dismantled the original apparatus for the acupuncture bronze man, he didn't take them away but installed them all in Yang Qingyin's house.

After installation, the security level at Yang Qingyin's house became comparable to a bank vault.

Without extremely professional personnel, it's really hard to deal with those security measures.

Since Wang Zhenjun was busy, Yang Qingyin hadn't returned home to sleep for the past two days, choosing to stay at school instead.

Knowing the situation, Luo Ziling thought for a moment and responded, "Then I'll sleep at my mom's place, might say hello to my grandpa in a couple of days as he's heading to the Northeast."

"Alright then!" Yang Qingyin smiled, "Don't go back to school now; if someone recognizes you, it'll be a hassle."

"It's alright, they're bound to get used to it," Luo Ziling said, holding Yang Qingyin's hand as they walked into the campus.

The two weren't as conspicuous as they were in the afternoon; wearing hats and glasses now combined with the dim evening light ensured nobody recognized them as they entered the campus.

After dropping Yang Qingyin off at the girls' dormitory building, Luo Ziling turned back.

When he got into the car driven by Yang Xiaodong, Yang Xiaodong looked as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.

"Just say what you want to say!"

After hearing this from Luo Ziling, Yang Xiaodong finally spoke up: "Young Master, regarding the last incident, there's indeed a possibility that Yang Yunlin planned it himself."

"I know," Luo Ziling nodded, "Lin Lan already informed me, along with evidence."

Regarding this matter, Lin Lan didn't report the situation to Yang Xiaodong and the others, and they didn't fully investigate the issue, hence their understanding of the situation wasn't very clear.

Upon hearing Luo Ziling say this, Yang Xiaodong was taken aback, and the speed of the car immediately slowed down.

"This matter, don't bother investigating it," Luo Ziling instructed Yang Xiaodong, "In the future, just be cautious of threats from the Yang Family."

Yang Xiaodong looked at Luo Ziling through the rearview mirror for quite a while before nodding lightly, "I understand."

Consideration for Yang Qingyin led Luo Ziling not to hold grudges against Yang Yunlin, this was Yang Xiaodong's understanding.

However, Yang Xiaodong's aversion towards the Yang Family grew stronger, even affecting his impression of Yang Qingyin.

"Ah, love makes people lose their minds," Yang Xiaodong remarked with a sigh in the end.

When Luo Ziling returned home, Ling Ruonan wasn't back yet.

Tonight she had a meeting, still with Koizumi Miyaning and another important figure from the Koizumi family, Tanaka Yasuqichi.

Luo Liansheng was alone at home, practicing calligraphy.

Seeing Luo Ziling return, he immediately called him over, "Come and see how your grandfather's calligraphy is!"

"Grandpa, I could never match you in calligraphy my whole life," Luo Ziling flattered Luo Liansheng, "Your calligraphy is becoming even more outstanding."

"One's experiences can also reflect in their writing. Your current calligraphy should carry youthful characteristics and shouldn't be too steady like mine, otherwise, it'll lose its unique style," Luo Liansheng said, setting down the pen, then rubbing his hands while looking at the calligraphy he had just written, laughingly commented, "Old Man Ouyang asked me for a calligraphy piece, let this one be my gift to him!"

"'Ignore the sound of wind rustling through the leaves, why not hum and slowly move,' this is Su Dongpo's famous 'Calming the Waves.' Luo Ziling had previously written this poem, but his style differs from Luo Liansheng's. His piece was likely intended for Ouyang Feifei.

"Grandpa, your calligraphy is quite valuable, such caliber of artistry is rare," Luo Ziling continued flattering, then abruptly shifted the conversation, "What are they doing with two copies of the same poem?"

"You've given the same poem to Ouyang Feifei?" Luo Liansheng seemed surprised.

"Yes, I wrote it for leisure, and she saw it and asked for it."

"This poem is suitable to be gifted to Old Man Ouyang, but not to Ouyang Feifei."

Luo Ziling chuckled, "They just want the calligraphy; the content isn't very important."

"Actually, you and Ouyang Feifei are quite compatible, in every aspect." Luo Liansheng shifted the conversation again, looking seriously at Luo Ziling, "I'm mainly referring to personality; you've lacked maternal love since childhood, finding a slightly older woman who's willing to care for you should be more suitable. Feifei is considerate and accommodating when she's with you."

Luo Ziling could only respond with a wry smile, "Grandpa, maybe I'll consider marriage issues when I'm older, alright? I'm not even at the legal age!"

"Alright," Luo Liansheng didn't say any more, ending the topic.

The grandfather and grandson tidied up the calligraphy materials before sitting on the sofa to chat.

Just a short while into their conversation, Ling Ruonan returned home.

Ling Ruonan didn't look very well, her face showed signs of hidden anger, which unsettled Luo Ziling a bit.
