Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Ling Ruonan’s Persuasion

Soon, Ling Ruonan had finished her bath and came to Luo Ziling’s room, wearing a very snug cotton nightgown.

Luo Ziling had also changed into his pajamas and, after finishing his washing up, lay on the bed looking at his phone.

When Ling Ruonan came in, he immediately tossed aside the phone and sat up straight.

“Let’s talk about Yang Qingyin first,” Ling Ruonan began as soon as she sat down, getting straight to the point, “Mom thinks it’s necessary to talk to you a bit more about your situation with Yang Qingyin.”

Luo Ziling had initially thought Ling Ruonan would talk about the preparations for the Great Grandfather’s birthday celebration tomorrow or the events of tonight. He was caught off guard that she wanted to discuss Yang Qingyin but still smiled and said to Ling Ruonan, “Mom, go ahead.”

“What do you think of Yang Qingyin as a person?” After asking, and seeing a hint of embarrassment on Luo Ziling’s face, Ling Ruonan added, “I want to know what your opinion of her is. Her character, her abilities.”

Luo Ziling thought for a moment and roughly understood Ling Ruonan’s meaning but still wasn’t quite sure how to respond.

“Mom, maybe because of the distance between her and me, there are many things I can’t see clearly,” he said, then something seemed to dawn on him, and he quickly asked Ling Ruonan, “Mom, you must have your own opinion of her, don’t you? Then tell me what you think. What kind of person is she in your heart!”

After looking at Luo Ziling for a few moments, Ling Ruonan eventually nodded. “You might think she is a very simple, tender, and kind-hearted person, but I must say, if you think so, you’re mistaken.”

Luo Ziling looked bewildered, not understanding what Ling Ruonan meant by that.

“She’s quite a calculating girl, and very capable too. She makes decisions quickly and firmly and is bolder than most,” Ling Ruonan said, stating her view before she smiled at Luo Ziling and continued, “What I’m saying might not align with what you believe, but I still have to say, my judgment is fairly objective and impartial.”

After thinking it over, Luo Ziling didn’t deny Ling Ruonan’s words, “It might be so, she does act decisively and boldly.”

“What I want to say is that such a woman might not be suitable to be your wife. You’re also stubborn, and a man like you is best matched with a wife who can listen to you and doesn’t have too many of her own opinions. That way, your future life together will be happier. If both partners have strong personalities, there will surely be frequent quarrels in life. Of course, when it comes to the important matter of your marriage, Mom’s opinion is just for reference. I won’t force you to do anything. I hope you make your own choice, and whatever choice you make, right or wrong, you won’t regret it later.”

After pausing for a moment, Ling Ruonan continued, “If you choose Yang Qingyin, I won’t oppose it. As long as you two can ultimately be together, I will still bless you. And, I will do my utmost to facilitate your marriage. Marrying her would definitely help your career because she would be a good partner for you, a good advisor.”

Luo Ziling was a bit embarrassed and answered Ling Ruonan with a flushed face, “Mom, I actually haven’t really thought about these things. Marriage still seems a bit far away to me.”

“There’s one thing I need to remind you of: try not to do anything that would hurt her. She’s decisive in her actions, and if love turns to hate, she will definitely seek revenge, and her desire for revenge will be very strong,” Ling Ruonan said with a bitter smile. “Just remember this, Yang Qingyin isn’t an ordinary woman, she’s an exceptional lady raised in a wealthy family, and her personality is a bit like mine when I was young, only I was more flamboyant, and not as reserved as her. This means, her scheming is even deeper than mine. You need to be careful when dealing with such a woman.”

Luo Ziling was quite surprised by Ling Ruonan’s words; he had never thought about these things and had never considered Yang Qingyin to be particularly cunning.

“Reflect on her behavior when she’s with you, and you should understand that what I’m saying isn’t wrong,” Ling Ruonan said, letting out a slight sigh as she stretched out her hand to caress Luo Ziling’s cheek, “Actually, I really hope you could find a very obedient, gentle woman to be your wife, so I wouldn’t have to worry about you being mistreated. Since you lacked a mother’s love from a young age and have no experience with women, it’s easy for you to suffer losses at their hands.”

“Mom, I will try to learn from experience and often come to you for advice, then I will gradually gain experience,” Luo Ziling said.

“Actually, Ouyang Feifei is a better match for you now,” Ling Ruonan hesitated for a moment before continuing, “I can tell that she’s not willing to annul the engagement with you just like that. After interacting with you for so long, she feels that being engaged to you is a good choice, so she’s still trying to go through with the engagement. No matter how you look at it, fulfilling this engagement is to her advantage. If one day you and Yang Qingyin fall out, and I’m only saying if, then resuming the engagement with the Ouyang Family and being with Ouyang Feifei would also be a good choice.”

Ling Ruonan’s words left Luo Ziling feeling quite awkward, and he suddenly didn’t know how to respond.

“All right, don’t say anything. Mom knows your thoughts right now. Let’s wait and see how your relationship with Yang Qingyin develops before making a decision. Anyway, you’re frequently in contact with Ouyang Feifei, and your impression of her isn’t that bad, so just continue to interact with her like this.” After a pause, Ling Ruonan added, “Compared to Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei, Ouyang Huihui is a bit simpler-minded. Although she appears a bit wild on the surface, she’s much more innocent than them by more than just a little, and you could consider her as an option too.”

Seeing Luo Ziling’s stunned expression, Ling Ruonan sighed and explained further, “Ling’er, don’t misunderstand, Mom is just concerned about you being hurt or deceived by women, so I’m telling you all this. As for the final choice, it’s still up to you. Perhaps, in the future, you’ll meet a woman who’s even more suitable, and then you won’t have to think twice before making a new choice. Mom just wants you to have a happy life, not to live in misery like I did.”

“Mom, I’ll remember that,” Luo Ziling was touched by Ling Ruonan’s earnest concern and sincerely thanked her, “Thank you, Mom!”

Ling Ruonan, gently touching Luo Ziling’s cheek, whispered again, “After what happened tonight, Mom thinks things will become even more complicated. Unless there’s a surprise, this incident will definitely be related to the Yang Family.”

“If we reach a point where we can’t get along with the Yang Family, do you think you and Yang Qingyin could still be together? Even if you choose to elope, you’ll surely regret it later. Besides, Yang Qingyin would lose everything she has now, and if you argue in the future, she will be disappointed, and you will feel guilty. Love can’t remain intense forever, and ultimately, life is about reality,” Ling Ruonan said with a sigh.

These words made the already calmed Luo Ziling’s heart skip a beat once again.
