It should be said that Ling Lan had chosen the wrong person to seek help from. When Ling Xiao was facing Lan Luofeng, he was obviously a pigheaded teammate. Not only did he screw over his daughter, he also screwed himself over in the process. Not only that, he also hurt the other members of the Lingtian Battle Team.
Mother Lan was full of motherly love. She warmly invited Ling Lan's friends to join their family dinner. She wanted to perform well in front of Ling Lan's friends and prove that she was the most successful and outstanding mother. With this thought in mind, she decided to do it herself.
Looking at her mother's confident and determined face, Ling Lan knew that she was doomed. However, she didn't want the other members of the Lingtian Battle Team to suffer with her. She secretly signaled Zilong and the others to reject her.
Unfortunately, everyone rejected Ling Lan's kind intentions. They were too tempted by the idea of having dinner with their idol, Ling Xiao. They ignored the look in their boss's eyes and eagerly accepted Mother Lan's invitation.
No, there were still some people who maintained their rationality. They wanted to follow Ling Lan's orders. However, before Li Lanfeng could reject her, Zhao Jun covered his mouth and dragged him to the back. When Li Lanfeng managed to break free, Zilong had already agreed on behalf of everyone. Li Lanfeng couldn't do anything about it.
Ling Lan gave them a helpless look. Li Lanfeng began to feel uneasy. He had a feeling that something unexpected would happen during this dinner. Otherwise, the rabbit would not look at them with such a gaze. He understood that gaze. It was pity, regret, helplessness, and also a hint of schadenfreude. It was as if the rabbit was saying, "You asked for it."
Thus, during this dinner, Li Lanfeng was the only one who was trembling in fear. His entire body was on high alert. However, even though he was this careful, he still couldn't escape the fate that was bound to befall him. When he slowly picked up a small piece of vegetable and stuffed it into his mouth, he knew that he had fallen into a trap. What did Ling Lan's gaze mean at that time …
Li Lanfeng was still alright. At the very least, his cautiousness allowed him to only pick up a small piece of vegetable. It was an amount that could be omitted. This allowed him to endure the discomfort caused by the strange taste. He calmly swallowed the vegetable.
However, Zilong, Zhao Jun, and Li Yingjie weren't as lucky as him. When they saw Mother Ling Xiao's dishes, they were extremely excited. This was a dish personally made by Madam Ling Xiao. It was a delicacy that only Madam Ling Xiao could eat. Yet, they were able to eat it so happily (again).
The word 'again' was Zilong's idea. That year, when he and Han Jijun went to Old Master's house as guests, the dishes they ate were made by Mother Lan. (In reality, it was the result of the collaboration between Ling Nanyi's housekeeper and the maids. They knew that Lan Luofeng was a kitchen killer. They didn't want Lan Luofeng to do anything. Thus, Lan Luofeng only came up with some ideas. Of course, it was uncertain whether those ideas would be used by Ling Nanyi's housekeeper.)
All in all, Zilong was tricked from that time. He thought that Mother Lan was a gourmet expert. He didn't know that the dishes made by Mother Lan were so delicious. Therefore, he fiercely picked up a large portion of the food with his chopsticks. Zhao Jun and Li Yingjie also did not let him pass. The three of them did not even think before stuffing this large portion of "delicacies" into their mouths …
Oh, let's pray for Zilong and the other two. Let's hope that they can survive in Mother Lan's dishes.
A strange taste spread in the mouths of Zilong and the other two. This taste was very strange. It wasn't a mixture of raw and cooked food. It was definitely challenging the limits of a human's taste buds. The three of them opened their mouths wide. When they subconsciously spat out the strange dish in their mouths, they felt a strong sense of coldness descend upon them. They saw their boss looking at them coldly. His eyes were filled with threat. If they spat it out, they would be dead.
The three of them subconsciously closed their mouths and swallowed the food that they were about to spit out.
Lan Luofeng saw that their cheeks were puffed up. They had a big mouthful of food in their mouths but they didn't swallow it. She was shocked and asked, "Why aren't you eating? Is it because my cooking isn't good? "Lan Luofeng's eyes were a little nervous. Could it be that after so many years, her cooking skills still hadn't improved?
The three of them quickly shook their heads. How could they dare to say that Mother Lan's dishes weren't good? Didn't they see that their terrifying boss was staring at them? If they dared to reveal even a little bit, they would definitely die without a burial place.
"Since you know, then eat it!" Ling Lan put her right hand on the table and raised an index finger. She secretly pointed at the food that they had picked up, hinting at Zilong and the others to swallow it. She calmly picked up the side dish on the plate and ate it calmly.
Sob sob sob, she was indeed the boss. No matter what happened, she could remain calm.
The three of them didn't dare to disobey. With tears in their eyes, they painstakingly swallowed the food in their mouths.
Zilong and the others, who had suffered a lot, decided not to eat anymore. Ling Lan pointed at the food with her index finger again, hinting that they had to eat the same way they had eaten just now.
"Boss, let us go this time!" Zilong and the others looked at Ling Lan with pleading eyes. Ling Lan shot a sharp and cold glance at them. The three of them were so scared that they quickly picked up their chopsticks and started wolfing down the "delicious food" in front of them.
Sob sob sob, rather than being tortured to death by the boss, they might as well be "poisoned to death" by Mother Lan's dishes. The three of them obviously knew which choice was better.
Lan Luofeng saw that her dishes were so popular and was instantly overjoyed. She looked at Zilong, Zhao Jun, and Li Yingjie with eyes full of love. She thought to herself that her dishes were actually not bad. Look at these three kids, they're eating so happily. Mm, she decided that the next time these three kids come over, she would definitely cook more delicious dishes for them.
Luckily, Zilong and the others didn't know what Mother Lan was thinking. Otherwise, they would definitely have a mental breakdown and wouldn't dare to come over again. Unfortunately, they didn't know. So in the future, when Ling Lan came home, as long as they had time, they would eagerly follow her back to get close to their idol, Ling Xiao. However, what awaited them was such a "delicious" meal …
Zilong and the others thought that they would die at this dinner. Reality proved that human's endurance was extremely strong. They still left the dining table alive, but their footsteps were a little messy. All kinds of strange smells caused them to temporarily lose their memory. They could only laugh foolishly.
Lin Zhong-qing was much better than the other three. Although he was excited, he still maintained his dining etiquette and ate the dishes in small bites. This also saved him. He didn't have to be like the other three who were forced to eat big mouthfuls by their boss. In the end, they couldn't even recognize themselves anymore.
However, he ate quite a lot too. After all, Zilong and the others were eating so much. How could he suddenly stop eating or eat less? Maintaining the original amount and eating speed made him forget the taste of the food for a period of time.
Li Lanfeng was undoubtedly in the best condition out of the five of them. He was originally very cautious but now, he picked up a small piece of vegetable and maintained this amount of food. He was the one who ate the least out of the five of them. He was also the only one who remained calm and normal after the meal. Also, at the dining table, the others were using all their strength to resist the attacks of the "delicious food". They didn't have the energy to talk at all. Only he was sincere in his attitude, but he was able to make Lan Luofeng laugh uncontrollably … This made Ling Lan and Ling Xiao look at him from the side.
Ling Xiao: This fellow is actually using his mouth to make my wife happy in front of me? Isn't he looking down on me too much? Unhappy!
Ling Lan: I didn't see the leopard talking so much in the past. Why is he so different today? So strange! Forget it, as long as mum is happy, I'll give him credit!
Just like that, the dinner that everyone had different feelings for ended.
Lan Luofeng was the happiest out of everyone. This was because all the food she cooked was finished (Zilong, Zhao Jun and Li Yingjie were the main force). There was also Li Lanfeng who was very good at talking. He was always able to make her laugh. Throughout the meal, Lan Luofeng was laughing from the start to the end.
Ling Lan was the second person who was in a good mood. When her mother was happy, she was happy too. Yes, she definitely wasn't the type of young bird who missed her mother and was happy to see her mother.
Ling Xiao's feelings were more complicated. He was happy to see his daughter and happy to see his daughter's friends. However, if the one called Li Lanfeng wasn't so enthusiastic about his wife, he would definitely be happier.
Zilong and the other two were already in a daze. They could be ignored completely. Lin Zhong-qing heaved a sigh of relief. He finally got through it. Not only was Lan Luofeng's mother's food very effective, but in front of the idol of the military, Ling Xiao, even though General Ling Xiao was very gentle, his aura still made Lin Zhong-qing feel pressured. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but look at Li Lanfeng with admiration. He didn't expect him to be able to talk so casually in front of General Ling Xiao. This was something he would never be able to do.
On the other hand, after Li Lanfeng and the others said goodbye to Ling Xiao's family and walked out of Ling Xiao's room, his tense back finally relaxed.
He shouldn't have been rude in front of General Ling Xiao and Lan Luofeng, right?
Li Lanfeng wasn't sure if his performance just now was good or bad. Maybe it was because he valued Ling Lan too much that he couldn't maintain his composure. Li Lanfeng smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that he still didn't know his limits.
Li Lanfeng knew that he overdid it so he helped Lin Zhong-qing drag the three of them back to their rooms. Then, he tossed and turned all night. He couldn't fall asleep.
After sending off Qi Long, Li Lanfeng, and the others, Ling Lan turned around and returned to the dining room. Lan Luofeng was humming happily as she cleared away the cutlery on the dining table. Recently, she had been very obsessed with Li Yinfei's songs. Right now, she was humming the other's famous song, "Tranquil Night".
"Are you very happy?" Ling Xiao was sitting on the sofa beside her. His voice was still gentle but Ling Lan could hear a hint of unhappiness in his voice. Did one of her friends make her father unhappy? Ling Lan didn't realize that her father was jealous.
"Of course, Baby Lan's friends are still the friendliest." When Lan Luofeng said this, Ling Lan clearly felt Ling Xiao's aura turn cold. However, this feeling disappeared in a flash. Only a domain realm master like Ling Lan could feel it. Lan Luofeng's physical skills were only at the manifestation realm so she didn't feel anything. She continued smiling and said, "They know how to appreciate the food I made. Look at how much the three children love to eat. No wonder they are so strong …"
As soon as she said this, Ling Xiao's unhappiness suddenly disappeared. He looked at Lan Luofeng with a face full of smiles, his eyes full of affection.
Hmph, so what if that Li Lanfeng is good at sweet-talking? In his wife's heart, he wasn't even as good as those three gluttons. He wasn't a threat at all. Thinking about this, Ling Xiao felt pity for that young man. He spent so much effort to coax Lan Luofeng but it was all in vain.
Seeing Ling Lan walk in, Lan Luofeng raised her head and smiled. "Baby Lan, among the people who came this time, is there someone who hasn't been here before?"
Ling Lan nodded. "Yes, his name is Li Yingjie. Mom, do you remember that arrogant brat from the Central Scout Academy?"
"Oh, so it's him. No wonder he looks so familiar. Wasn't he your competitor? How did he join your battle team? "Lan Luofeng asked curiously.
"Maybe Dad's charm is too strong so he chose to enroll in the 23rd Division. However, he didn't want to join a battle team that he didn't know so he temporarily became my teammate," Ling Lan explained.
"Yes, that brat doesn't seem bad. Take care of him in the future," Lan Luofeng smiled and replied.
"Okay, Mom!" Ling Lan replied helplessly.
She didn't expect Li Yingjie to gain her mother's favor the first time he came. She thought that he would be her mother's worst impression of him. At this moment, Ling Lan suddenly remembered that on the Feiyang Ship, Li Yingjie was also loved by the motherly team members. Did Li Yingjie have a hidden talent that could make motherly women love him? Yes, she must remember this. If she met a motherly woman next time, she could send Li Yingjie to test it out.
At this moment, Ling Xiao suddenly interrupted, "How much do you know about Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng?"
"That's because they're three years older than me. We've only been together for a year or so. Of course, we don't know each other as well as Qi Long and the others, but I trust them," Ling Lan said firmly.
"It's good that you know! That Li Lanfeng … "Ling Xiao paused for a moment. He deliberated for a moment before saying," He has some problems. "
"Oh?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows in confusion. She wanted her father to explain.
"What's his position in your team?" Ling Xiao asked seriously.
"He's a strategist and also a member who has a certain level of combat ability," Ling Lan replied.
"I remember that you already have a strategist in your team. His name is Han Jijun, right?" Ling Xiao frowned. "Don't mix up the positions in your team. If you have two strategists, it's easy for there to be two different teams."
"I know but it's okay. Li Lanfeng is good at scheming while Han Jijyun is wise. One is righteous while the other is evil. They complement each other perfectly."
"However, I feel that he's not satisfied with what you want to give him. He wants more," Ling Xiao reminded her.
"He wants more?" Ling Lan frowned in confusion. What did Li Lanfeng want?
PS: Sorry, my memory was messed up. There was a bug in my memory. Thank you for reminding me. Muacks!
