The Young Urban Doctor

Chapter 376: 376: Sensing Danger



It must be said that Ouyang Feifei did have a knack for acting; the way she presented herself in front of Luo Ziling indeed changed his impression of her. After dining and chatting with her, and then treating her, Luo Ziling didn’t immediately seek to take his leave as he would have done before.

Ouyang Feifei had taken a bath before asking Luo Ziling for treatment. Wearing only a bathrobe, the fresh scent of her body after the bath, and the slight exposure of her skin, all posed a great temptation for Luo Ziling, a young man full of energy. Coupled with Ouyang Feifei’s subtly shy expressions, Luo Ziling even started to think that going to call off their engagement initially had been a foolish decision.

Fortunately, a phone call from Ling Ruonan snapped Luo Ziling out of his confusion in the nick of time.

Ling Ruonan called to ask how Luo Ziling’s recovery was going and said someone had brought her some tropical fruits. She and Wuyue couldn’t finish them all, so she was going to bring some over to Luo Ziling.

Hearing that Ling Ruonan was bringing fruit to the school entrance, Luo Ziling immediately proposed to take his leave from Ouyang Feifei.

Ouyang Feifei, who was proud of the effects her efforts to make a change had achieved, felt a bit disappointed when Luo Ziling said he needed to hurry back, but she still instructed Wang Qing to send Luo Ziling back. Luo Ziling, however, firmly refused Ouyang Feifei’s arrangement for Wang Qing to send him, saying that he would just catch a taxi outside. Then, without waiting for Ouyang Feifei to insist further, he turned and ran off.

Luo Ziling’s behavior left Ouyang Feifei puzzled and led her to cast several unfriendly glances at Wang Qing.

Logically, this shouldn’t have happened. Could there have been a conflict between Luo Ziling and Wang Qing?

But she didn’t ask; instead, she turned and went upstairs.

After being treated by Luo Ziling, she felt sleepy and really wanted to go to bed.

It was still early, just past eight o’clock, but she decided to go to sleep first.

As she lay in bed, Ouyang Feifei didn’t fall asleep immediately; she was still thinking about the day’s events and how she felt while Luo Ziling was treating and massaging her.

She admitted that Luo Ziling’s treatments were very effective; after a period of his treatments, her body had improved a lot.

The sensation of Luo Ziling’s massages was also very pleasant; his fingers were slender and smooth, somewhat like a girl’s, not at all rough, and very gentle. The massages on her body felt indescribably comfortable.

Before, Ouyang Feifei had never thought about matters between men and women, nor had she any desire for them. But after being massaged by Luo Ziling’s hands, she started to feel an inexplicable restlessness in her body, even to the point where some special parts of her body craved someone’s touch.

“What’s happening to me?” Ouyang Feifei, never imagining she could undergo such a change, sensed danger.

She was aware that although she had successfully changed Luo Ziling’s impression of her, she had also put herself into a perilous situation.

If they continued their interactions in such a way, something uncontrollable might happen at any moment.

When lucid, Ouyang Feifei felt she could face anything with composure, and no man dared to act indecently toward her.

However, this vigilance disappeared during Luo Ziling’s treatments.

She didn’t resist Luo Ziling’s massages and even looked forward to his bold moves.

Ouyang Feifei was acutely aware of the dangers this change represented.

She had intentionally gotten close to Luo Ziling, wanting revenge, but she didn’t want to end up in a situation she couldn’t control.

However, before she could figure out a solution, an unstoppable drowsiness overwhelmed her, and she soon drifted into sleep.

After Luo Ziling quickly ran out of the villa area where Ouyang Feifei lived, he saw a taxi pulling up just outside the neighborhood.

Once the passengers got off, he immediately hopped on and asked the driver to take him to the entrance of Yan University.

On the way, Luo Ziling received a call from Ling Ruonan, who said she would arrive at the campus gates in a few minutes and asked Luo Ziling to wait for her in the school’s parking lot.

Luo Ziling agreed, of course.

But he still arrived at the parking lot nearly ten minutes later than Ling Ruonan.

Ling Ruonan didn’t hurry him but sat in the car waiting.

Seeing Luo Ziling appear, Ling Ruonan told him to get in the car first.

“Mom, I just took a taxi back from outside, I hope you weren’t too worried,” Luo Ziling brought up the matter first, then chuckled and added, “Did you bring me any delicious food?”

“Some fresh tropical fruits that are hard to come by this season. I thought you must not have had them often, so I brought some for you,” Ling Ruonan gestured to the bags of fruit on the back seat, reminding Luo Ziling to take them later, then she brought over a few more bags, “These are some clothes and shoes I bought for you. Try them on when you get back to see if they fit.”

Luo Ziling felt very grateful for Ling Ruonan’s care, but also quite embarrassed, “Mom, I already have enough clothes, my boxes and wardrobe are almost too full to fit anything more, please don’t buy me so much.”

“It’s fine, next time I’ll buy some to keep at home, and you can wear them when you come over. I also bought you two sets of pajamas and some home clothes which I didn’t bring over. You can wear them when you come to stay. Also, you can pack up your clothes for laundry and bring them over to wash in the machine,” Ling Ruonan said with a loving look in her eyes.

“Mom, it’s okay, I can wash them myself,” Luo Ziling replied warmly, yet he still smiled and politely declined her kind offer, “I started washing my own clothes when I was five. I’ve been washing my clothes for so many years, and sometimes I also wash grandpa’s clothes. It’s fine, I can do all these household chores!”

Luo Ziling’s words invoked fresh guilt in Ling Ruonan’s heart. Her son, who should have been living a privileged life, was capable of doing all kinds of housework, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.

As a sour feeling arose and her eyes began to redden, she fortunately controlled her emotions in time, avoiding showing her sadness. After asking about the injury on Luo Ziling’s body and forcing him to open up his clothes for a personal inspection, and seeing that he was indeed all right, Ling Ruonan finally felt relieved.

But when she was saying goodbye to Luo Ziling, she solemnly reminded him a few more words, “Ling’er, one thing is almost certain now, the street assassination against you last time was orchestrated by someone from the Ling Family. As for who orchestrated it, I haven’t figured it out yet. They might not have wanted to kill you, but one thing is for certain, they can’t tolerate you. So, you must be careful in the future, the people from the Ling Family might be even worse than the Yang Family!”

Ling Ruonan’s words were quite shocking to Luo Ziling, but in the end, he didn’t ask anything, merely nodding seriously to show he remembered.

Ling Ruonan stroked Luo Ziling’s face and whispered a command, “In the next six months, I’ll try to travel less for work. If anything happens, just call me, and make sure to tell me, understand?”

“I remember!”

Ling Ruonan then reminded him of another matter, “Also, in just over ten days, it’s your Great Grandfather’s ninetieth birthday. Mom will take you there to give your blessings, so be prepared. Great Grandfather’s health isn’t great, and he might ask you to treat him.”

“I will definitely be prepared, I won’t let you down, Mom!”
