Judging from Ling Ruonan’s loss of composure, Wu Yue could tell that this was a very serious matter was really serious. “It’s true,” she said.
“When did they start dating?” Ling Ruonan suppressed the panic and anger in her heart and asked Wu Yue in a deep voice, “Why didn’t you report this a few days ago?”
“The person who was arranged to be at the school just informed me of the situation. By the looks of it, she didn’t know that the Young Master and the Yang family’s little princess knew each other and were even dating,” Wu Yue said, not hiding the truth.
Upon hearing that, Ling Ruonan sat down dejectedly and waved her hand, signaling her assistant to leave her alone.
‘Wu Yue didn’t dare to say anything after that. She swiftly packed up the cup that her mistress had just knocked over, wiped the table dry, and quietly retreated outside.
Ling Ruonan was no longer in the mood to eat breakfast, nor could she be bothered to read up on current events. Dressed in casual clothing, she walked to the French window with a sorrowful expression and looked at the scenery outside in a daze.
Paris had just been roused awake. The Eiffel Tower in the distance was still shrouded in a thin fog, and when the morning sunlight illuminated it, it gave off an ethereal appearance.
However, Ling Ruonan did not have the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. She fell into deep thought.
She would never be able to forget the huge storm that happened twenty years ago.
Was the man who looked a little like Luo Ziling safe and sound now?
Thinking of the two men, one big and one small, Ling Ruonan’s emotions surged like a tidal wave.
She could clearly remember the scene when they first met.
That day, she had just returned to her house and gone to her grandfather’s room, about to visit him because he was seriously ill. After she entered the small courtyard of the old residence, she suddenly heard a clear voice. “Excuse me, Miss. Could you tell me how to go to the restaurant?”
She stopped and turned around. When she did, she was greeted a slightly shy face with a faint smile etched into it. The man’s eyes were as clear as the waters in a mountain spring, He was tall, strong, handsome, and looked rather awkward. Even though Ling Ruonan was was used to seeing handsome
men, she was still rendered speechless. Her heartbeat suddenly sped up.
She had never been flustered, so she was at a loss for what to do. She didn’t know how to answer.
The moment the other party saw her, he was also stunned, his mouth agape.
The two of them stared at each other for at least thirty seconds before looking away.
At that time, she ran away with a red face. It was the first time she was flustered in front of aman.
After that, she found out who the man who made her blush was.
Her grandfather, Ling Jinhua, was seriously ill. No matter how many doctors examined him, they couldn’t do anything for his illness and were about to give up on him.
Out of desperation, her father, Ling Mingrui, had used his various connections to invite a renowned doctor, Luo Liansheng, over to treat him. After receiving the invitation, Luo Liansheng had brought his son, Luo Xusheng, to treat the old man.
After the treatment by the father and son duo, her grandfather’s condition took a 180 degree turn.
This surprised everyone in the Ling family. After that, Luo Liansheng and Luo Xusheng became honored guests of the Ling family. However, the father and son did not ask for any compensation from them. Everyone in the Ling family knew that the only reason Luo Liansheng and his son were willing to
treat the old man’s illness was because of another person.
If Ling Mingrui had not personally asked them to come, this old-fashioned father and son, who looked down on authority, would not have come to treat the old man’s illness.
‘When she ran back to the old house to visit her grandfather after class, Luo Xusheng, who had been Luo Liansheng’s assistant for two days, was hungry and had bumped into her while looking for a place to dine in.
However, Ling Ruonan had never expected that her life would begin to change from her brief encounter with Luo Xusheng.
At that time, she was already engaged to another wealthy family in Yenching: To the second son of the Yang family, Yang Yunfeng.
She and Yang Yunfeng were childhood playmates, and their relationship was quite good. However, she saw Yang Yunfeng as a brother, not as a romantic partner.
Because of her outstanding looks, Ling Ruonan was hailed as the “Number one beauty of Yenching”. She, who had always been proud and arrogant, yearned for freedom, hoping that she could have a magnificent relationship and find a person she truly loved to marry. As a result, she was very resistant to
the arrangements made by her family and even once went on a hunger strike to protest the marriage. She even made it clear to Yang Yunfeng that she could not marry him.
Perhaps it was because she was too familiar with him, or perhaps she felt that he was too lacking in personality. In any case, she just could not develop any feelings for Yang Yunfeng.
However, after meeting Luo Xusheng for the first time, waves of emotion rose in her heart.
In the following days, she went back to the old house to visit her grandfather every day, so that she could see Luo Xusheng.
His medical skills were outstanding, and so was his talent. Moreover, under his shy appearance, there was a wild and unruly heart.
The two people, who were also inexperienced in the world, were slowly attracted to each other via a series of contacts and conflicts.
In fact, when she first met Luo Xusheng, Ling Ruonan was attracted by his slightly shy expression and his clear, bottomless eyes.
The later interactions could be said to be her curiosity that provoked Luo Xusheng. When the relationship between the two of them soared, Luo Xusheng had come to treat her illness after she suddenly caught a cold.
His meticulous care made it impossible for her to control her feelings.
Through interacting with him, she knew that Luo Xusheng was very skilled. And so, after her body recovered, she pestered her to come with her on a day out.
A young man naturally could not resist the direct temptation of a beautiful young lady from a wealthy family, so he gladly accepted.
In the end, while they were outside, it started raining heavily, drenching the both of them. The both of them ended up cuddling to keep warm, and it was then that Ling Ruonan initiated their first kiss.
After that, the relationship between the two of them went completely of control. In the end, they did what any man or woman would do when they were in a passionate relationship.
Because she did not take any protective measures, Ling Ruonan soon found out that she was pregnant.
She was stubborn by nature. When she saw her grandfather and father treat Luo Liansheng and his son as distinguished guests, she took the initiative to clarify the matter and indicated that she would not marry unless it was with Luo Xusheng.
After hearing what she said, Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui knew that the matter had blown up.
Although they treated Luo Liansheng and Luo Ruonsheng as honored guests, they had never thought of marrying her off to Luo Xusheng.
In their eyes, the interests of the family were of the utmost priority. The marriage with the Yang family could strengthen the Ling family’s position and even allow Ling Mingrui to obtain the most power. Therefore, they unceremoniously rejected Ling Ruonan’s request.
However, Ling Ruonan resisted with her life. She refused to abort the child in her belly and refused to marry Yang Yunfeng no matter what. She even planned to elope with Luo Xusheng.
After Yang Yunfeng, who had suffered a great humiliation, found out about this, he was furious. When Luo Xusheng and Ling Ruonan were about to elope, he drove a car with the Ling family to chase after them.
In the end, Yang Yunfeng was beaten to death by Luo Xusheng in a panic. To protect Ling Ruonan from harm, he did not resist arrest.
The relationship between the Ling family and the Yang family had fallen to a freezing point. The Yang family even treated Luo Liansheng and his son as pariahs, expending a lot of effort to kill Luo Xusheng. In the end, after her desperate struggle and the appearance of the old man, Ling Jinhua, she was
able to save Luo Xusheng’s life. However, he was chased out of Yenching and was forced to promise that he would never set foot there again for the rest of his life.
Eight months after the incident, Ling Ruonan gave birth to a young boy, Luo Ziling.
He was taken away by his grandfather Luo Liansheng when he was three months old. The three of them never saw each other again.
Ling Ruonan burst into tears once again when she thought of this..
