Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Another Beautiful Woman

Translator: 549690339

The next day, Luo Ziling still participated in military training with a few other classmates.

During military training, cell phones had to be turned off.

After military training ended and the cell phones were turned back on, Luo Ziling saw several missed calls.

There were calls from Ouyang Feifei, some from landlines, and some from unrecorded mobile numbers.

Luo Ziling ignored the numbers not in his contacts and returned Ouyang Feifei’s call.

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up, but it was not Ouyang Feifei herself, but her assistant Wang Qing.

“President Ouyang is meeting with clients,” Wang Qing said in an emotionless tone to Luo Ziling, “I will contact you later.”

Wang Qing’s icy voice instantly quelled the bit of excitement in Luo Ziling’s heart. He exchanged pleasantries and hung up the phone.

“Boss, let’s go eat,” Cao Jianhui came from behind and asked curiously, “Who’s the beauty you were talking to on the phone just now?”

“Several missed calls,” Luo Ziling said somewhat gloomily, “Let’s not bother with it, let’s go eat!”

He guessed the other calls might have been from the police, but he did not want to reply and had no interest in dealing with them.

Half a day of military training was exhausting, and Luo Ziling was already ravenously hungry. After getting ready, he immediately went to the canteen with Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang to eat.

Just as he had gotten his food and taken a couple of bites, the cell phone rang again.

He glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment and did not answer.

As he continued to eat with big bites, the phone rang again, the same number.

After a moment’s thought, he quickly shoveled a few more mouthfuls of food before standing up to answer the phone.

After a “hello,” a woman’s voice came from the other end.

“Ziling, are you at school?” The woman’s voice was rather tender, and it was quite comfortable to listen to.

“I’m at school, in the cafeteria eating,” the voice was so pleasant that Luo Ziling instantly took a liking to it and honestly replied before asking, “May I know who’s calling?”

The person on the other end didn’t answer Luo Ziling’s question but said directly, “I’m waiting for you at the east gate of Yan University.”

These words made Luo Ziling pause, a wave of irritation rising within him, and he was tempted to refuse.

But before he could utter a word of refusal, the caller had already hung up, which annoyed him even further.

After some thought, he didn’t follow the instructions of the woman who had called and instead sat down to continue eating.

Because of his hunger, he ate quickly, and the other guys did the same.

In just a short time, all four had finished their meals, left the canteen together, and prepared to head back to the dormitory.

After getting back to the dormitory, Luo Ziling lay down on his bed for a while, then finally told his three roommates, “I’m going out for a bit, someone called saying they’re outside the east gate looking for me.”

“Is it the police?” Cao Jianhui immediately looked tense, “We’ll accompany you!”

“No,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “You guys go back to the dorm to rest, I can go by myself.”

“Alright then!” Seeing that Luo Ziling had a strange look in his eyes, Cao Jianhui did not insist.

Luo Ziling didn’t change his clothes but put on a pair of large-framed glasses.

He ran quickly to the school’s east gate and checked the time on his cell phone; fifteen minutes had passed since the woman called.

He had no idea who the woman who called to meet him was or where she was standing, so when he got to the east gate, he looked around for quite some time.

There were many cars parked at the school entrance, some of which were expensive luxury vehicles, surrounded by women, some of whom were quite beautiful. It was unclear if they were students of the school or from outside.

After looking around for a while, Luo Ziling finally noticed a very particular woman standing by the east gate.

The tall, good-looking woman with several bags stood there aloofly, her majestic aura deterring anyone from approaching her for conversation. Students and passersby dared only stand from afar and steal glances at her.

No one attempted to get close while Luo Ziling was observing her.

Hesitating for a moment, he still walked toward that woman.

As Luo Ziling approached, the woman’s eyes were fixed on him, but she did not call out.

When he got close to the beautiful woman, Luo Ziling hesitated slightly, feeling a bit apprehensive about approaching.

Her expression was cold and distant, as if she was keeping everyone at arm’s length—no wonder nobody dared to approach her.

But seeing that her gaze was steadily on him, he ultimately approached her.

“Were you looking for me?” Once near the beautiful woman, he asked softly, making his introduction, “I am Luo Ziling!”

As soon as Luo Ziling said this, the woman’s customary coldness disappeared in an instant, and her expression softened, “Yes, I was looking for you.”

“Who are you?” Luo Ziling looked at the woman with some confusion. She was very pretty and well-proportioned, someone who would turn heads wherever she went, “Do we know each other?”

“Someone asked me to come see you,” the woman smiled at Luo Ziling and explained, “She couldn’t come herself, so she sent me. These are gifts she bought for you, please accept them.”

The woman’s softly spoken words struck Luo Ziling like a thunderbolt, leaving him breathless.

In that moment, Luo Ziling understood the “she” the woman was talking about must be “her.”

Who this “she” was, he instantly knew.

Suddenly, he felt dizzy, standing there dumbly gazing at the smiling beautiful woman, unable to utter a word, not reaching out to take the bags she offered.

His eyes began to feel warm, and a hard-to-describe sensation surged within him—he could not articulate what he was feeling at that moment.

Seeing Luo Ziling standing there stupefied, the beautiful woman continued, “She was on a plane last night, and it wasn’t until she landed that she learned what had happened. She wanted to rush back right away, but it was too late. Even if she took the earliest flight back, it would have been past midnight. She personally called He Jianmiao and asked him to clear up the case by this afternoon. Early this morning, she was already back, personally inquiring about the matter.”

Luo Ziling stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him, unable to speak, his throat as if obstructed by something.

“She cannot see you right now so she asks for your forgiveness. She has her own difficulties which she finds hard to express, and she hopes you can understand,” the beautiful woman said further, “She assures you that everything will be alright, and you’ll see each other soon.”

Upon hearing the beautiful woman’s words, Luo Ziling could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down his face.
