<h4>Chapter 1028: Chapter 1035: Lingering Rage</h4>


    Back at the control center, looking at Ling Chen who appeared deep in thought, Tang Guolun asked, "What are you thinking about?"


    "Nothing much." Ling Chen forced a smile and then changed the topic, saying, "I have some things to handle, so I’ll head back first. I’ll leave the aftermath here to you guys."


    "Don’t worry, we’ll handle the cleanup work well."


    Leaving the base, Ling Chen drove straight towards Wealthy Manor. The matters with the God Organization were resolved, now it was time to deal with his personal issues. Thinking about the situation with Leng Feifei gave Ling Chen a headache; he didn’t know how to exin it to Nanrong Wanqing. No matter what, he and Leng Feifei had indeed shared an intimate moment, which was an unchangeable fact.


    Although Nanrong Wanqing usually acted with great generosity, when ites to matters like this, it’s difficult for any woman to remain generous.


    At this moment, Ling Chen had prepared for the worst. If Nanrong Wanqing refused to forgive him, then he would have no choice but to leave.


    Arriving at Wealthy Manor, Ling Chen didn’t go directly to the Nanrong Family but instead called Nanrong Hao from his car.


    Shortly after, Nanrong Hao walked over from a distance and got into the passenger seat.


    "Chen."


    "Haozi, how is your sister?" Ling Chen asked.


    "Chen, what exactly did you do to offend my sister? She hasn’t spoken all day and has been acting cold and distant, which is making me scared."


    "So, where is she now?"


    "She’s probably already asleep," Nanrong Hao said. "Chen, you’d better ask our cousin, she lives with my sister and knows best how she’s doing. Maybe you could ask our cousin to mediate on your behalf. My sister gets along best with her, so maybe she would forgive you."


    Ling Chen gave a bitter smile and said, "It’s not that easy." However, he still attempted to call Su Lin with a hopeful mindset.


    When the call connected, Su Lin’s voice immediately came from the other side: "Hello! You finally decided to call." Su Lin’s tone was sharp and carried a trace of anger, "You missed such a good opportunity at the concert and left Wanqing alone, no wonder she’s mad at you."


    "Yes, yes." Ling Chen asked, "Um... Miss Su, is Wanqing asleep?"


    "How could she sleep? She’s been crying since the concert ended, her eyes are swollen. Where are you?"


    "I’m outside the Nanrong Family, Haozi is with me. Miss Su, if it’s convenient, could youe out for a moment? I have something to discuss with you."


    "Alright, wait there, I want to hear how you’re going to exin this."


    After hanging up, within two minutes, Su Lin appeared at the Nanrong Family’s entrance.


    Getting into the car, Su Lin nced at Ling Chen, then looked at Nanrong Hao in the passenger seat, and said coldly, "What do you want to say?"


    "How is Wanqing?" Ling Chen asked with concern. His biggest worry now was Nanrong Wanqing’s wellbeing, as she had taken a significant emotional blow because of him.


    "How do you think she is?" Su Lin said angrily, "I can’t understand what you did to upset Wanqing this much, she wouldn’t even listen to me trying to reason with her, and she drove me out of the room."


    "Exactly!" Nanrong Hao chimed in, "Chen, what happened between you and my sister? Maybe if you tell us, we can help somehow."


    "Well..." Ling Chen hesitated, unsure whether to disclose the events.


    Seeing Ling Chen’s dy in speaking, Su Lin reached for the door handle, saying as she opened the car door, "If you’re not willing to talk, then I’ll go back. Don’t expect us to help you."


    "Wait!" Ling Chen hastily called her back, afraid Su Lin would leave, "It’s not that I don’t want to talk, just that..." Ling Chen gave a bitter smile and said, "I don’t know how to start." After a pause, Ling Chen exhaled, looked at Su Lin, and said, "Alright, I’ll tell you, but you mustn’t misunderstand."


    Ling Chen then recounted the events of that day.


    "That’s the whole story; Han Mingchao must have privately approached Wanqing and badmouthed me, which caused Wanqing to misunderstand my rtionship with Feifei. In reality, I had no choice; time was running out, and Leng Feifei is my friend. I couldn’t just stand by and watch her get into trouble, so I... I know that no matter what, this is my fault, and I’m willing to apologize. As long as she forgives me, I’ll do anything. But the problem is, Wanqing doesn’t want to hear my exnation right now. And no matter how much I exin, it doesn’t change the oue."


    With that, Ling Chen sighed softly and looked at Su Lin and Nanrong Hao, "You are all Wanqing’s family; only you can speak to her on my behalf at a time like this."


    "That might be difficult," Su Lin said, "I’m inclined to believe what you just told us, but, as you said, despite the circumstances, youmitted a fundamental mistake, and Wanqing is someone who cares deeply. If she didn’t know, it’d be one thing, but now not only does she know, Han Mingchao has certainly embellished stories about you to her. That’s why Wanqing is so angry. I suggest you don’t contact Wanqing for a few days; the more you exin, the angrier she’ll get. It’s better if I put in a good word for you and wait until Wanqing calms down, then you can meet her. It will be better that way."


    "Chen, my cousin is right. I know my sister’s temper best. She’s angry right now, so saying anything to her won’t help. It’s better to let her cool off for a few days. Besides, my sister isn’t unreasonable. Once she figures things out, she’ll forgive you." After finishing, Nanrong Hao patted Ling Chen’s shoulder with a knowing tone and said, "Chen, it’s okay. Women are like this; throw a little tantrum, and they’ll be fine after a few days."


    Hearing this, Su Lin red at Nanrong Hao and said, "Speaking like you know women well, huh?"


    "I uh—" Nanrong Hao chuckled and quickly changed the subject, "Chen, are you hungry? Want me to join you for ate-night snack?"


    "No, I’m not in the mood." Upon finishing his sentence, Ling Chen turned to look at Su Lin and said, "Miss Su, please help me with this."


    Su Lin nodded, "I’ll do my best, Wanqing is my sister, and I don’t want her to be sad or upset." Then Su Lin seemed to think of something, her eyes sparkled, "I heard that you have a good rtionship with Miss Tang?"


    "You mean Shiyun? Why, do you need something from her?"


    "Nothing, but if I help you this time, how do you n to repay me?" Seeing Ling Chen didn’t immediately understand, Su Lin continued, "Could you arrange for Miss Tang to have a meal with me?"
