In the end, Luo Liansheng agreed to help Yang Qingye check the situation, but he did not agree to have lunch at the Yang Family home.
Helplessly, Chen Qiaoyu asked Yang Qingyin to invite Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng out to eat.
Luo Liansheng didn't refuse Chen Qiaoyu's arrangement.
He went with Luo Ziling to Yang Qingyin's house to check on the recovering Yang Qingye. After the examination, he clearly told Chen Qiaoyu and Yang Qingyin that Yang Qingye's injury was basically fine, and now it just needed gradual recuperation.
"Youth is good," Luo Liansheng said with a grin after explaining, "No matter how badly injured, recovery is quick. Unlike me, an old man; if I get hurt, it would take a long time to recover."
Luo Ziling said this, and so did Luo Liansheng, finally relieving Chen Qiaoyu.
However, Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling's unwillingness to eat at her house still left her a bit regretful.
When Yang Qingyin suggested inviting Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling out for a meal, Chen Qiaoyu repeatedly instructed her to give the Luo Grandfather and Grandson a big feast.
"My mom really feels sorry for you guys," Yang Qingyin said softly to Luo Ziling as they left home and were getting into the car, "The conflict between her and my dad is getting worse."
"Is it all because of us?" Luo Ziling gave a wry smile, "Without my appearance, your life should still be filled with romance and beauty every day, and there would be no conflict at home."
"I'm not blaming you," Yang Qingyin rolled her eyes, "Don't blame yourself, I have never blamed you."
Luo Ziling smiled and didn't say anything more.
After the three had lunch together, Luo Liansheng had to leave again.
Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin were free.
"Senior, how about going somewhere to have some fun?" Luo Ziling suggested, "Although spring has not fully arrived in Yanjing, the feeling of spring is emerging. Where should we go to have some fun?"
"Then let's go to the Summer Palace," Yang Qingyin agreed with Luo Ziling's suggestion, "The willow trees there must be green by now, let's go and have a look."
Of course, Luo Ziling had no objections.
So, they walked hand in hand to the Summer Palace.
The weather was nice, neither cold nor hot.
The streets were crowded, especially at the gates of the Summer Palace which were bustling with tourists.
Luckily, both wore glasses and hats when they went out, avoiding being recognized.
They had been to the Summer Palace several times.
Yang Qingyin had been there more often and was very familiar with the Summer Palace's layout.
Today, they were not here for sightseeing but to enjoy their romance.
So, they did not enter through the main gate but chose to go in from the south gate.
They walked past Xiuyi Bridge, heading westward towards Xidi.
After crossing Willow Bridge, they continued towards Jingming Tower.
In this direction, there were very few tourists; after Willow Bridge, visitors were practically unseen.
"I didn't expect there to be such a tranquil place inside the Summer Palace." Luo Ziling snapped a willow branch and smiled at Yang Qingyin, "If I didn't know this was the Yanjing Summer Palace, just looking at the lake and the willows by the lake, I might have thought it was some countryside in the South."
"It was originally built in imitation of southern gardens as an imperial garden," Yang Qingyin broke free from Luo Ziling's hand, took a couple of joyous steps, and laughed, "I was so stifled just now, but coming here, I don't feel any oppression at all. When feeling down, it's really necessary to take a walk."
"Let's not worry about anything today, we'll just play as we wish." Luo Ziling took out his phone and motioned for Yang Qingyin to take off her glasses and hat, "Let me take a few beautiful photos of you, how about it?"
"Alright!" Yang Qingyin didn't refuse, she obediently took off her hat and glasses, then took out her phone and tidied up her makeup.
After taking several photos of Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling then took a few selfies with her.
"Do you want to post them on Moments?" Luo Ziling asked Yang Qingyin with a smile.
"Forget it, let's not show off, just keep them for ourselves," Yang Qingyin smiled, "It will save us from some people's dissatisfaction."
Luo Ziling grinned without saying anything.
After walking about two or three kilometers, Yang Qingyin got a bit tired and asked Luo Ziling to rest for a while.
There were plenty of benches by the bank; with few people around, they quickly found an empty bench to sit closely together to rest.
"How did you feel last time we played in the South? Did you write a travel journal?" Luo Ziling put his arm around Yang Qingyin and softly asked, "If you wrote one, you must let me read it."
Yang Qingyin had said that every time she visited a place for fun, she would write a travel journal. Luo Ziling was curious to see how she wrote her travelogues.
"I'm working on it, I'll show it to you once it's done," Yang Qingyin lazily replied, "Anyway, I'm just writing casually. Our trip to the South wasn't about tourism but rather a leisurely play without a destination, and not focused on sightseeing or photography. So, the travel journal should be quite different from a simple travelogue, it's more like an emotional release."
"That sounds more intriguing."
"We can start planning the trip to the Northwest for the summer vacation," Yang Qingyin said as she looked at Luo Ziling, "I'm really looking forward to climbing Tianshan with you."
"I'll make the arrangements, and my grandpa will definitely return by then. He's the best guide, with him and me, there's nothing to worry about."
"Hmm," Yang Qingyin nodded and rested in Luo Ziling's embrace without saying more.
While the two were leisurely strolling in the Summer Palace, Luo Ziling received a call from Lin Lan.
"When are you free?" Lin Lan's tone was a bit cold and abrupt.
"Is there something up?" Luo Ziling was a bit surprised; it had been a while since Lin Lan used such a tone with him.
But when he realized he hadn't visited her in a while or inquired about her recovery, he immediately understood.
So before Lin Lan could say anything, he quickly replied, "We're at the Summer Palace now, we'll be out around dinnertime."
There was no need to hide anything from Lin Lan; if this woman wanted to know his whereabouts, she could find out in a matter of minutes.
"The chief wants to discuss something with you, and our team leader also has something to talk to you about," Lin Lan continued in her icy tone, "If you don't have the time, you don't have to come."
Luo Ziling was aware that Lin Lan probably knew he was spending time in the Summer Palace with Yang Qingyin, which might be why she was angry.
Thus, he didn't argue with her and immediately agreed, "Then I'll come over early. If you have dinner ready, I'll come for dinner."
"We're at the base," Lin Lan didn't respond to the dinner invitation and just stated their current location before hanging up.
Yang Qingyin was right there, and she heard the content of their conversation.
Lin Lan's usual speaking style was like that, so she didn't find anything particularly unusual.
After hanging up, Yang Qingyin immediately said, "Let's head back early then, just take a short walk. Business matters take priority."
Yang Qingyin knew that Luo Ziling's father, Luo Xusheng, might take over the position of Dragon Rise's leader, and Li Haiyang contacting him was likely about that. She couldn't let their idle wandering interfere with important business.
So, after walking with Luo Ziling for a while longer, she suggested they head back.
This gesture from Yang Qingyin also gave Luo Ziling a sense of relief.
