Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Speaking of the four of them, they were all now students of Special Class-B. In particular, He Chaoyang and Li Jinghong were a little lacking in talent, but in order to catch up to the prodigies like Ling Lan, they had worked hard like a masochist. After four years of hard work, they had finally managed to turn the tables and squeeze into the fiercely competitive Special Class-B. They had become classmates with Yuan Youyun, Luo Shaoyun, Han Xuya, and Luo Chao, and this year, they had also successfully established a team, becoming members who had grown up together. To commemorate the 072 team that had taken the exam together that year, their team's name was 072!
Most surprisingly, the leader of team 072 was actually that easily embarrassed, often blushing Luo Chao... as expected, you really couldn't judge a book by its cover.
In contrast, Ling Lan's team was still missing one person. Ling Lan didn't seem to mind this, so Zilong and the others weren't in a hurry either.
Behind Yuan Youyun and the others were Han Jijun, Luo Lang, and Lin Zhong-qing. Although they were suppressing their excitement on the surface, Zilong and the others knew the significance of this trip better than the others. This would be their first time coming into contact with the world of the god-class operator Ling Xiao, especially that legendary wife of Ling Xiao's (That's my mum! ← Ling Lan was depressed. These lackeys were actually ignoring her...).
The few of them nervously followed Ling Lan into the villa, and immediately saw a beautiful woman smiling at them. Of course, in this day and age, most people were pretty and handsome, but the children still felt a sense of warmth from Lan Luofeng's body, causing their initial nervousness to relax somewhat.
The few half-grown children greeted Mother Ling shyly but politely. This made Lan Luofeng very happy, because her Ling Lan always wore a stern face and acted like a little adult, causing her to sometimes lose the sense of accomplishment of being a mother. Now, she finally felt it... sob sob sob, if only her daughter could be as lively as the children in front of her, then that would be great...
Ling Lan was speechless at the meaning in Lan Luofeng's eyes. She really didn't know how her mother could tell that these children were all lively. Putting everything else aside, Han Jijyun's stern face wasn't any better than hers …
It could only be said that parents would never be satisfied with their current situation. They would always envy their children for not being able to achieve it, regardless of whether it was suitable or not.
In a great mood, Lan Luofeng's attitude was naturally so good that it made these children feel as if they were bathing in a spring breeze. Compared to their T-Rex mother at home, they could not help but envy Boss Lan's happy life, once again proving that other people's families were always the best.
During dinner, Ling Lan witnessed for the first time her mother's fierce public relations methods. She had subtly and indirectly investigated the family backgrounds of all ten children. Of course, it was not that no one had noticed. Han Jijun had noticed, but he was not too surprised. This was completely a necessary method for a qualified mother to understand the social situation of her children. Han Jijun had long been mentally prepared, so his response was also the most appropriate.
Lan Luofeng looked at the children before her with great satisfaction. It had been a long time since the house had been so lively. Her children finally had their own friends... she wondered which one would become her daughter's Mr. Right?
That Zilong had a good personality and was very obedient, not bad, not bad. However, that Luo Lang was very pretty, making people like him just by looking at him (Lan Luofeng was obsessed with looks). That Han Jijun, although a little stern, was very smart and organized when he did things. He was also very compatible with her daughter... that Lin Zhong-qing, although his family background was a little poor, but he knew how to cater to the likes of adults. He would definitely be popular in the future, not bad. Unfortunately, she only had one daughter...
In any case, Lan Luofeng was satisfied with all the boys she saw, so she was actually conflicted over who to choose.
Ling Lan saw right through Lan Luofeng's unscrupulous thoughts, and she could not help but break out in cold sweat. Mum, why are you looking at me like I'm your son-in-law? Your daughter is only 10 years old right now, okay? Most importantly, your daughter is a man right now...
Just like that, under Lan Luofeng's special hospitality, the guests and hosts at the dinner table were all very happy. The atmosphere was harmonious, and the children were no longer as restrained as they had been at the beginning.
Of course, there were exceptions. At the dinner table, the only one who dared to eat the rice in her bowl with her head lowered was Luo Chao, not daring to lift her chopsticks to pick up any food. Ling Lan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Was this little girl planning to only eat rice until the end?
"Here, eat some more Duomo meat. Your body is too weak." Ling Lan's seat just happened to be diagonally opposite Luo Chao. She picked up a piece of white meat with her chopsticks and placed it into Luo Chao's bowl. The shy and adorable Luo Chao was so well-behaved that her heart softened. In truth, because Luo Chao's spiritual power was increasing at a faster rate than normal people, her physical condition had always been poor. This made Ling Lan feel that they were in the same boat, so she would always be more concerned and attentive towards Luo Chao.
"Thank you, Big Brother Lan!" Luo Chao's face turned bright red, her doe-like eyes shining brightly. Ling Lan speechlessly retracted her chopsticks. Little girl, big sister was just concerned about your health. There really wasn't any other deeper meaning... perhaps she would have to rein in this kind of involuntary caring in the future.
This action of Ling Lan's caused the originally lively dinner table to suddenly fall silent, especially Zilong. His mouth was agape, extremely shocked by Boss Lan's sudden kindness in caring for Luo Chao. Meanwhile, Luo Lang's expression was conflicted. Should he stop Boss from wanting his sister, or should he just let nature take its course... the others kept glancing at Ling Lan and Luo Chao. Could it be that, without them knowing, Boss and their little sister were having an affair?
Only Han Jijun's expression remained calm, as if he was not affected at all. Unfortunately, his chopsticks failed to pick up any of the side dishes, so it was clear that his heart was not as calm as he appeared to be on the surface...
Ling Lan swept an exasperated gaze across the group of boys, scaring them into hugging their bowls tightly and wolfing down their rice. Sob sob sob, they knew they couldn't watch Boss's show... poor thing. There was so much good food on the table, but now they didn't even dare to pick up any of it!
Lan Luofeng's initially proper and virtuous smile suddenly froze, her gaze somewhat unfocused. Could it be that those boys had no hope? Would she finally have a daughter-in-law? That wasn't right. She seemed to have given birth to a daughter, right?
In the end, the song ended and the crowd dispersed. The children left Ling Lan's home with a sense of satisfaction. Actually, Ling Lan inviting them over as guests already proved that Ling Lan had truly accepted them. This was also the most satisfying thing about this trip.
Speaking of which, they had finally found a big thigh... er, it should be that they had finally become Boss Lan's sworn siblings!
After much difficulty, Lan Luofeng waited for Ling Lan to return from sending the guests off. She grabbed hold of Ling Lan and asked anxiously, "Baby Lan, do you like boys or girls?" Whenever Lan Luofeng was in a frenzy, she would call Ling Lan 'Baby Lan'.
Ling Lan rolled her eyes exasperatedly. Speaking of which, she was still a 10 year old child, alright? Wasn't it a little too early for her mum to start fretting over this matter?
"I remember that you didn't give birth to me as a man, right?" Her sister was a woman in body and mind. How could she possibly like girls?
"Then what's up with that Luo Chao?" Lan Luofeng still couldn't let it go. Speaking of which, it was rare for her to receive such care from Baby Lan... alright, Lan Luofeng was a little jealous!
"Don't you think she's very obedient? Much cuter than that bunch of brats... "replied Ling Lan." I like this kind of sister! "
Seeing Lan Luofeng's devastated expression, Ling Lan added helplessly, "It's purely a sibling relationship. Mum, don't get the wrong idea."
That said, Ling Lan immediately fled! Leaving behind a petrified Lan Luofeng, who had been completely shocked by Ling Lan's words.
Then, in the empty hall, a wave of hysterical screams rang out:
"Ah ah ah... Auntie Nan, I'm going crazy!" Lan Luofeng clutched at her hair. At this moment, she no longer had any semblance of dignity or virtue.
Ling Nanyi rushed out of the kitchen in a panic, holding a spatula. "Madam, what happened?"
"Sob sob sob, Auntie Nan, Baby Lan really thinks of herself as a man... what should we do now?" Lan Luofeng's mind was filled with the phrase 'purely a sibling relationship'... that sister was definitely referring to Luo Chao, and that brother was Ling Lan.
Hearing this, Ling Nanyi's expression instantly calmed down. "That's more like it. Otherwise, Young Master Lan wouldn't be able to pretend so perfectly."
"But, I don't want to have a daughter-in-law in the future. I want a son-in-law..." said Lan Luofeng angrily.
"Don't worry, Madam. Even if Young Master Lan has Young Madam, with current technology, Young Madam can still give birth to Young Master Lan's child..." Ling Nanyi's eyes flashed as she began to consider this possibility. Where would they find a sperm with excellent genes, and then combine Young Master Lan's and Young Madam's eggs with the sperm at the same time to give birth to a pair of twins? Of course, only Young Master Lan's child would be the head of the Ling family. As for Young Madam's child, he would be raised to be Young Master Lan's loyalist...
Lan Luofeng felt that Housekeeper Ling Nanyi's words made sense. After all, whether her daughter married into the Ling family or took a daughter-in-law, it wouldn't affect her having grandchildren. Thus, she was happy and no longer conflicted.
Ling Lan, who had just turned the corner, overheard the conversation between her mother and the housekeeper. Instantly, black lines appeared on her forehead. What kind of people were these... her way of thinking was indeed on a different frequency from theirs.
However, Ling Lan didn't take this matter to heart. She was only 10 years old now — whether she married into the Ling family or not, it was still very far away from her. Right now, she might as well make the best use of her time to become stronger.
Time passed quickly, and another three years had passed! In these three years, Ling Lan had finally grown from a short little bean into a handsome and cool youth. Compared to three years ago, Ling Lan's status in Special Class-A of Class 4738 was now very high. Even the strong ones like Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie could only temporarily avoid her, willingly admitting that Ling Lan was the only boss of Class-A.
In reality, in these three years, Ling Lan's life had not been as comfortable as others thought. During the day, she was indeed awe-inspiring, but at night, she was utterly miserable. In the learning space, she was tortured by Instructor Number Two in every possible way, brutally abused to the end.
