Ling Ruonan had always thought that Luo Ziling hated her and would not forgive her easily.
In fact, she was also afraid to see him. She was worried that if the two of them met, Luo Ziling would ignore her, turn around and leave or throw a tantrum at her, scolding her for being an incompetent mother and making him suffer for so many years. If that was really the case, then she simply would not
be able to bear this pain.
It was only now did she know that he did not hate her, and that she had always been his pride.
Knowing this, how could she still control her emotions?
In the past few years, she had endured a lot of things. Even those close to Wu Yue had never seen her when she was weak, let alone shed tears. In everyone’s eyes, she was a strong woman–an iron lady. She was swift and decisive, and many people were afraid of her.
However, Luo Ziling was the softest part of her heart. She would cry at the thought of him.
In the past, she would not tell anyone about Luo Ziling’s existence. it was only when she was alone did she think about all the things related to her son, and only then did she dare look at her photos. When she hid herself away, she would think of how Luo Ziling looked when he was forced to leave her side.
A three-month-old little baby had been taken away from her side while she was sleeping soundly. That time, she had cried her heart out. She would never forget that sad feeling for the rest of her life.
After hugging her mother and crying for a while, she had said something very harsh: if anyone dared to do anything to Luo Ziling, she would personally beat that person to death.
For the sake of that big man and her little man, she was willing to compromise, but the prerequisite was that their safety must be guaranteed.
Nearly twenty years of forbearance and hardships finally brought about Luo Ziling’s healthy growth, and he was able to return to Yenching.
She didn’t know how much effort she’d put in just to be able to let Luo Ziling return to school.
Now, however, she was worried that Luo Ziling would resent her and be unwilling to see her.
She had already thought it through. She would give anything in exchange for Luo Ziling’s forgiveness and love for her.
But now, she knew that Luo Ziling did not hate her and was instead very eager to meet her. Today, she was able to feel her son’s longing for her and his desire for a mother’s love.
No matter how strong she was, she could not control her emotions, and she broke down in tears in front of her assistant.
She wanted to meet Luo Ziling as soon as possible, but she also knew that now was not the time for mother and son to meet.
Technically speaking, if she wanted to meet up with Luo Ziling now, nothing could stop her. But this would make many people unhappy, especially the Yang family.
The Yang family did not know that Luo Ziling had returned to Yenching, nor did many people in the Ling family.
If she went to see him, these people would know immediately.
Not only would the people of the Yang family not tolerate the fact that Luo Ziling had returned to Yenching, many of her own family members would also hold the same attitude towards him.
Many people were still brooding over the incident back then. They still hadn’t forgiven her and were not willing to accept her child, not to mention the child’s father.
If the matter was blown out of proportion, Luo Ziling’s life would definitely not be easy, and he might not even be able to stand firm in Yenching.
It was for this reason that she simply couldn’t go see him. She hoped that he could understand and not resent her for this.
However, she could not explain this point to him, so she was very conflicted and could not help but cry.
Upon seeing her mistress lose control of her emotions, Wu Yue, who was standing beside her, also felt heavy-hearted and had the urge to cry.
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Luo Ziling’s message came again.
After seeing it, Wu Yue took the initiative to reply, “Your mother is really beautiful. There’s no one in the world who’s more beautiful than her.”
“Of course! She was the most beautiful woman in Yenching back then.” Luo Ziling sent a few prideful emojis to express the pride in his heart.
In fact, he didn’t know why he was talking about these things with an unfamiliar person today.
He just felt that his heart was filled with anxiety and he really wanted to talk to someone.
‘When he was chatting with “Fang Feijin” just now, he’s suddenly had the urge to share his feelings. However, the other party wasn’t interested in chatting with him, so he could only give up.
“Your mother is so beautiful, so you’re also very handsome, right?” Wu Yue replied on Ling Ruonan’s behalf.
“am I, though?” His message was followed by a bashful emoji.
“Well, yes. If the photo you sent is your own, then you are quite handsome. If your school ever has a contest for ‘Most Handsome Student’, you’d definitely be chosen.”
“Tm glad you think so. Hehe, after talking to you for a long time, my mood is much better.”
‘When Luo Ziling sent this message, Ling Ruonan had finally managed to stem her tears and took the phone from Wu Yue’s hand.
After reading the last few messages from Luo Ziling, she replied, “I hope you can always be in a good mood. If there’s anything that makes you happy or unhappy, you can tell me. I’m willing to be your bosom friend.”
“Thank you! After hearing about some things related to my mother today, I was in a bad mood. Unfortunately, that little prick was unwilling to tell me more. I was so angry I thought I would die. Thank you for talking to me for a while. I’m in a better mood now,” Luo Ziling said.
Another message came immediately after. “I need to do something now. Let’s talk again when we have time!”
“Rest early. Good night!” Ling Ruonan replied.
Luo Ziling didn’t reply after that, but she continued to stare at her phone screen.
She read the previous message again, dabbing at her eyes as she did so.
‘Wu Yue stood by the side, not saying a word. She knew that her mistresswasn’t in the best of moods, and she did not know how to approach her.
Although she was not married or even in a relationship, she could understand her mistress’ emotional fluctuations and could put herself in her shoes.
She had not seen her son since he was three months old and h ad been separated from him for 20 years. Which mother would not be sad?
However, she did not know how to approach the topic with her mistress.
After a while, Wu Yue’s cell phone rang. She quickly walked to another room to answer the phone. After hanging up the call, she immediately walked back.
“Miss, it’s almost time for the meeting with Mr. Thomson. The staff of the embassy was asking when we’d be there,” Wu Yue whispered into Ring Ruonan’s ear. “There are still twenty-five minutes left.”
It was 9:05 p.m. in Yanjing, They were currently in Paris, the capital of the French Republic.
The time difference between the two time zones was six hours.
At 3:30 pam. local time, Ling Ruonan would be having a meeting with Francis Elfo, who was the chief executive officer of Aquitaine Company. They would be discussing matters regarding their collaboration.
This meeting would be hosted by the Huaxia Ambassador in Paris. It was very important.
After hearing Wu Yue’s words, Ling Ruonan instantly recovered up from her sadness. She stood up abruptly, immediately donning the mask of a strong businesswoman. “Let me wash my face first. I’ll be there right away.”
“Understood!” Wu Yue said, carrying the documents they’d prepared with her.
‘When she walked to the bathroom, Ling Ruonan instructed, “Tomorrow, accompany me to the market to buy some gifts for him. When we return home, you’ll deliver them personally.”
“Yes, Miss!”
“When you go to see him, I will go too,” Ling Ruonan said with a very determined expression. “They still won’t allow us to meet, but I will watch him from afar. They can’t stop me, right?”
‘Wu Yue’s mood became heavy again, and she didn’t know what to say..
