After Ling Lan's figure disappeared, Ling Lan heard the sound of the door opening.
The crisp sound of footsteps approached from afar until it was right behind her.
"Lanfeng? What's the matter? "Ling Lan asked calmly.
A jade-like hand grabbed the armrest of her chair, and a beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of Ling Lan's eyes.
Li Lanfeng leaned over and smiled at Ling Lan. His smile was so charming that it could steal a person's soul. Ling Lan's heart skipped a beat. However, Ling Lan was good at controlling her heartbeat. She managed to control her heartbeat instantly and maintained a steady pace.
Ling Lan raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had never seen such a charming Li Lanfeng before. What happened to Li Lanfeng?
"What's wrong?" Ling Lan asked with concern.
"Nothing." Li Lanfeng smiled bitterly. Ling Lan's expression didn't change at all because of his appearance. As expected, he was a straight man. Seduction was useless.
At this moment, Li Lanfeng felt timid for the first time. For a moment, he wanted to give up completely. He wanted to just watch Ling Lan quietly. He wanted to watch him get married and have children. He wanted to watch him be in love with his wife …
Li Lanfeng felt like his heart was being torn apart when he thought about this. He couldn't bear to see this happen. If Ling Lan was single for the rest of his life, he might be able to control himself and stay by his side quietly. However, if someone that Ling Lan fell in love with appeared beside him, he would definitely go crazy. He wouldn't be able to control himself and would think of ways to destroy that person.
Yes, he couldn't bear to hurt Ling Lan. However, he would definitely hurt the person that Ling Lan liked. He would coldly and silently scheme against that person until that person died.
He was such a scary person. He was a selfish person who grew up twisted because of his Phoenix Thrall Fate. He would never give up the person he loved with his life.
If that was the case, would he be able to fool Ling Lan? Li Lanfeng knew that it was impossible. He was smart but Ling Lan was not weaker than him in terms of intelligence and scheming. He was also good at scheming. He was weaker than overt scheming. On the other hand, Ling Lan was good at scheming. His ruthlessness wasn't inferior to him.
However, Ling Lan was good at hiding himself. He didn't show his scheming to others easily. He even left the scheming to him and Han Jijun. In the eyes of outsiders, Ling Lan was a cold-blooded, ruthless, tyrannical, and extremely strong martial artist. How would they know that many amazing scheming came from him?
It could be said that in this world, Li Lanfeng was confident. He wasn't afraid of anyone who was good at scheming. However, he was a little afraid of Ling Lan.
Maybe it was because he loved Ling Lan. Naturally, he felt short of breath and guilty in front of him. However, it was undeniable that just like Zilong and the others, in Li Lanfeng's eyes, Ling Lan was also an invincible existence.
Although he hoped that he could stand by his side and take some of the burden for him so that the person he loved wouldn't have to work so hard.
No one understood Ling Lan's hardships. However, Li Lanfeng, who kept Ling Lan in his heart, saw it clearly. Perhaps it was this silent heartache that caused his feelings to evolve in the wrong direction. By the time he reacted, it was already too late.
"If there's something, don't hide it from me. Our friendship didn't just start in the military academy," Ling Lan said seriously. How could she not see the bitterness in Li Lanfeng's eyes?
As a friend who had met on the Internet, Ling Lan was more patient than other people. His methods were also less ruthless. If Zilong, Xie Yi, and the others were hesitant and dilly-dallying, Ling Lan would definitely beat them up and let them know the consequences of being hesitant.
It was undeniable that Li Lanfeng's face was also one of the reasons why Ling Lan didn't beat him up. Who asked our Ling Lan to be so obsessed with looks? She was easily soft-hearted towards beautiful people. For example, when Luo Lang was training him, he had been much gentler than Zilong. Although physiques were a factor, Ling Lan also admitted that Luo Lang's pretty face softened her heart a little. That was why she had been a little more lenient.
Why are you so nice to me? The concern in Ling Lan's eyes made Li Lanfeng want to spill his heart on the spot and tell her about his love for Ling Lan. However, the moment he was about to say it, Li Lanfeng's rationality came online. It was as if he had been doused with cold water, instantly calming down.
"Ling Lan, have you pursued anyone before?" Li Lanfeng calmed himself down and asked in a low voice.
Ling Lan thought about it seriously. "I don't think so."
Pursuing someone? In her previous life, due to her illness, she had been thinking about how to survive every day. It was impossible for her to find someone she liked, much less pursue someone.
In this life, before her father returned, she had to protect the Ling family and her mother. She had to become stronger wholeheartedly. She didn't have time to think about these messy things. Later, when her father returned, she also went to the First Men's Military Academy. She had to be careful not to reveal the secret that she was a girl. She didn't have time to think about these things. After entering the army, and because of the two-year promise with her mother, she put all her attention on how to help her little brother grow up quickly. She didn't have time to think about anything else.
After that, due to various unforeseen circumstances, she was pushed forward by a freak combination of factors. As her military rank rose, various factions schemed against her, causing her to be tired of dealing with them. How could she have time to think about love? Come to think of it, she was almost 50 years old in both her lives, yet she had yet to experience love... Ling Lan couldn't help but feel a little sad for herself. Just think about it, which transmigrated girl had it worse than her? There wasn't a single man by her side who had expressed their love for her. (It's not that there wasn't one, it's just that you were too slow.)
Fine, she was still a man now. If a man really liked her … Er … Ling Lan shuddered. She couldn't accept it. But thinking about it from another perspective, if she really liked a man, with her current status as a man, she couldn't pursue him …
Ling Lan's thoughts were in a mess. She didn't see Li Lanfeng's eyes light up when he heard Ling Lan say that she had never pursued anyone before. His face also became even more dazzling, even more breathtaking. In Li Lanfeng's eyes, taking the initiative to pursue someone meant that their feelings were deeply rooted. Ling Lan had never done that before. Did that mean that he hadn't actually done anything for her yet?
"I originally wanted to ask you for advice, but now it looks like there's no hope." Li Lanfeng's lips curved into a smile. It was just a slight smile, but that face of his appeared incomparably brilliant. It almost dazzled Ling Lan's eyes.
Even though Ling Lan was almost bewitched by Li Lanfeng's beauty, she still heard the hidden meaning of the other's words. Ling Lan coldly glanced at Li Lanfeng and lightly said: "I'm someone who has two fiancées."
This sentence directly hit Li Lanfeng's Achilles' heel. His originally smiling eyes instantly revealed a trace of embarrassment and pain.
Ling Lan was satisfied. Sure enough, for this kind of single dog or dog with a one-sided love, as long as she sprinkled a little dog food, it would be a cruel blow to them.
