Luo Yaling slowly opened her eyes, seeing an elegant woman and a handsome middle-aged man looking at her.
“Miss Luo, are you feeling unwell?” Shangguan Ziling asked worriedly.
Luo Yaling placed a hand on her dizzy head, sitting up with difficulty in the luxurious room. How did she end up here? Who were these people? Hadn’t she been kidnapped? Panic rose as she looked at the two older adults.
“Did you have people kidnap me?”
Shangguan Ziling exchanged a quick glance with Shen Yiqiang.
Shen Yiqiang explained their identities and how their son had run away from home, omitting any mention of Zhuo Ling. They told Luo Yaling that their son’s weakness was her.
Luo Yaling was confused but grasped that he was a runaway like her. “You mean, his weakness is me?” she asked.
“Of course,” the couple said in unison, laughing.
“So, you kidnapped me? Why?” Luo Yaling inquired, still confused.
“No, no! Our people misunderstood. I asked them to ‘invite’ you, but they kidnapped you instead. We’re really sorry. Please don’t be angry—”
The couple explained awkwardly, worried they might scare her away. “We just want you to help us so Xuan can come back to see us often, preferably to live here.”
“Yes, we just hope he can visit us often.”
“……”
Chapter 85: The Plan
Luo Yaling looked at them with a bitter smile. “I’m afraid I can’t help you. I’m not his weakness at all…”
“You are, you are.”
Darling, my son is nervous about a person for the first time. We can’t be wrong.”
“Uncle, Aunt, I think you’ve got the wrong person. His interest in me probably won’t last long.” Luo Yaling said while getting out of bed and heading towards the door.
“Nonsense! You’re the little bride he personally chose when he was small; how could he not want you?” Shangguan Ziling shouted excitedly.
“What?” She wanted to leave quickly and didn’t understand the mention of childhood. She had never met Xuan when they were young. Were they really Xuan’s parents? Luo Yaling turned suspiciously towards the two older people.
“Hehe! It’s nothing, just a slip of the tongue,” Shangguan Ziling said, realizing she said too much. She didn’t want to scare the girl away.
