Ling Lan was speechless. What she was most afraid of was happening. Now, she was most afraid that her friends would ask her about her family teachings. She didn't think that Li Lanfeng would ask about it before her other friends could.
Ling Lan looked at him coldly. She hoped that Li Lanfeng would back off. To be honest, she didn't know how to trick Li Lanfeng. As expected, people couldn't lie. After the first lie, they would have to cover it up with other lies. What a waste of effort.
If it was in the past, Li Lanfeng would give up when he saw Ling Lan's cold gaze. But this time, Li Lanfeng was determined to know the truth. Even if he might anger Ling Lan, he didn't want to give up.
"Rabbit, this family rule can't be passed down from the ancestors of the Ling family. Otherwise, General Ling wouldn't have waited until he was 26 years old to marry your mother." Li Lanfeng had done a lot of research on this matter, including the story between General Ling and Lan Luofeng.
Ling Lan knew that once Li Lanfeng set his mind on something, it would be hard to lie to him. Ling Lan saw the determination in Li Lanfeng's eyes. He wouldn't give up if he didn't get an answer. Ling Lan felt helpless.
'Then, I'll just make up a lie!' Ling Lan's head started to hurt. It was hard to lie to a scheming person.
After thinking for a while, Ling Lan could only apologize to her mom in her heart. "Cough, cough. You know that my dad is very busy. He doesn't have time to accompany my mom. Maybe she's too bored so she targeted me."
Li Lanfeng frowned. "Is she … urging you to get married?
Ling Lan said helplessly, "It's okay if she's urging me to get married. My mom is too lonely. She wants grandchildren."
"That's not right. If she just wanted to have grandchildren, she wouldn't have let a man enter the family at all." Li Lanfeng was meticulous and immediately found the flaw in Ling Lan's words.
"Li Lanfeng, you still don't understand what my mother's real goal is …" Ling Lan shook her head helplessly. "My mother just wants me to have a child for her to play with."
Ling Lan told him part of her original plan, half-truths and half-lies. Ling Lan still hadn't given up on her goal of robbing the sperm bank.
"Ah?!" Li Lanfeng was extremely shocked. He didn't think that the gentle, virtuous and traditional Senior Colonel Lan would have such an unconventional idea.
"Could it be that the family motto was set by Senior Colonel Lan?" Li Lanfeng finally realized. "General Ling actually didn't object?"
"Why should I object? My dad always listens to my mom on small matters. " Ling Lan pouted. Although this matter was fake, if it was really like what she said, her dad would definitely support her mom's decision. He might even help to come up with a plan. As long as it wasn't a big matter of betraying the country, her father, who was a slave to his wife, wouldn't object.
"Actually, Senior Colonel Lan and the others can understand that doctors don't have sex." Li Lanfeng still didn't want Ling Lan to find her other half so easily. He hoped that Ling Lan would have a happy family in the future. It wouldn't be a political marriage where they were happy in front of others but had different dreams behind their backs.
"If my mom was so easy to deal with, my dad wouldn't have died in her hands. He would only have my mom in his life." Ling Lan apologized to her dad in her heart.
"In order to achieve her goal, she would do anything!" Li Lanfeng seemed to have understood. No wonder Ling Lan never bathed with others. Her resting place was strictly monitored and outsiders couldn't get close. Every time she came out, she would dress neatly and meticulously. It turned out that all this was to prevent herself from being tricked by her mom.
"If that's the case, why did you reject Li Shiyu?" Since Ling Lan didn't have any feelings for anyone, why couldn't it be Li Shiyu? Why did it have to be Luo Chao and Han Xuya?
"I don't like men." Ling Lan replied decisively. However, in her heart, she was crying. Although she didn't like any man now, she didn't like lesbians either. The situation was urgent so she could only use this excuse to get Li Shiyu out. However, her two younger sisters that she loved were trapped in this mess.
After that incident, Ling Lan, who woke up, was frustrated. At that time, her mind was in a mess and she lost her ability to think. That was why she found such a low-level excuse.
Ling Lan's reply shocked Li Lanfeng. As expected, Rabbit wasn't the destined king!
During this period of time, it wasn't that Li Lanfeng hadn't had his suspicions. After all, among the people he had interacted with, only Ling Lan was becoming more and more like a king. As for Qiao Ting, whom he had suspected at the start, now, he couldn't see any possibility of him becoming a king. However, Li Lanfeng thought about how Ling Lan didn't have any reaction after seeing his real face and still treated him like a brother. He felt that he was thinking too much. Now, Ling Lan publicly said that he didn't like men. This possibility was almost impossible.
In Li Lanfeng's heart, the possibility of Ling Lan being a king was completely eliminated. However, for some reason, Li Lanfeng didn't feel happy. Instead, he felt complicated. An indescribable feeling spread in his heart.
"What should we do now?" Did Rabbit really want to choose one of Luo Chao and Han Xuya to marry? Thinking of this possibility, Li Lanfeng felt frustrated.
He didn't have the right to stand beside Rabbit. How could he let other people take him away first? Not even his wife!
This sudden thought shocked Li Lanfeng. He felt that he was a little confused. He couldn't help but knock on his forehead, trying to calm himself down.
"At that time, I could only choose the one that was most beneficial to me. However, this matter has to be resolved. Let me think about it, "Ling Lan said with a frown.
She didn't want to drag Luo Chao and Han Xuya into this big lie. She also didn't want to cause them to have abnormal lives. She had to think of a good way to resolve this matter perfectly. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace.
"You do need to think about it," Li Lanfeng agreed with Ling Lan.
In fact, he was saying this to himself. He should also think carefully about whether his emotions were wrong.
Li Lanfeng, who had something on his mind, quickly said goodbye to Ling Lan. Li Lanfeng didn't insist on getting to the bottom of the matter. Ling Lan instantly let out a sigh of relief. She had finally overcome this obstacle.
"Little Four, do you think I should take this opportunity to retire from the military and go home?" Ling Lan felt the urge to retreat. After this battle ended, her companions should have gained enough military merits and could rise to the next level. They should be able to hold their own now. Perhaps it was time to leave.
"Boss, I'll listen to you." Little Four didn't care where he was. Although the military was fun, the outside world was also very interesting.
In a dense forest in Hailiya's territory, more than ten broken mechas were parked together in a circle.
In the circle, there were more than ten mecha operators in tattered clothes. They were using simple utensils to cook small beasts that they caught on the ground. This was enough to satisfy their needs for today.
"This is the last portion of self-heating material. After we finish it, there will be no more." Thinking about how he wouldn't be able to eat hot food in the future, one of the mecha operators sighed.
"Don't worry. Our reinforcements have arrived. Unfortunately, we are too far away from the base so we can't contact them. If not, our regiment commander would definitely send someone to pick us up," another older mecha operator said confidently.
At that moment, a young mecha operator raised his head and asked curiously, "Uncle Sun, can you tell us which clan you are from now?"
At that time, they were forced to escape from Hailiya's ace mecha team. Just as they were about to be caught and killed, they accidentally met these four ace mecha masters from the 23rd division. Not long after, they killed the ace mecha masters from the 23rd division and saved them. From then on, they followed the four veteran mecha operators and fought behind the enemy lines. They had been protected until now. Until now, they still felt that they were in a dream.
The middle-aged mecha operator who was called Uncle Sun smiled. "What's there to say? Aren't we all from the 23rd division?"
"Uncle Sun, hurry up and tell us. I don't believe that you are from a normal ace mecha clan." The young mecha operator wanted to know where his savior came from so he wouldn't give up so easily.
"Ah Luo, don't go overboard." At that moment, another cold-looking young man shouted.
"Yes, Brother Huo." The young man who was called Ah Luo lowered his head in disappointment.
"Brother Huo, actually, I want to know too. If it's possible, I want to go to Uncle Sun's mecha clan, "another young man suddenly said.
Ah Luo immediately raised his head when he heard that there were reinforcements. His eyes lit up as he said excitedly, "Look, Brother Huo, even Feng-ming wants to know." He turned his head and put his palms together. He begged, "Uncle Sun, don't hide it anymore. Just be merciful and tell us."
The cold-looking young man called Brother Huo could only look at Uncle Sun apologetically when he saw that his team members wanted to know where the four veteran mecha masters came from.
The person who was called Uncle Sun looked at his three companions. They agreed with him. After fighting together for a week, they had already acknowledged these nine young mecha masters from the 23rd division.
"Since you all want to know, I will tell you all. Don't think too highly of us." Uncle Sun smiled. "We are really from a normal mecha clan. The 250 Ace Mecha Clan from the 2nd division of the 23rd division is currently stationed at Base 013."
This Uncle Sun was Sun Yaofei and the other three people who covered for Ling Lan. In the end, they didn't manage to catch up with Ling Lan. Instead, they were surrounded by countless Hailiya so they had no choice but to stay at the second line of defense. Then, they met these nine young mecha masters who were chased by their enemies and accidentally ran into the enemy's camp.
"250 Ace Mecha Clan?" The cold-looking young man who was called Brother Huo was stunned.
"Looks like you have heard of our mecha clan before." Uncle Sun laughed loudly again. Those who had the right to know about the 250 Ace Mecha Clan would know that they were a useless mecha clan.
"Yes, I know that 250 Ace Mecha Clan used to be the best mecha operators in our army. They had many achievements," the cold-looking young man said seriously. The cold-looking young man said sternly. He knew what 250 Ace Mecha Clan was but he didn't underestimate them. Perhaps these mecha operators were dying and couldn't operate mechas anymore. However, this couldn't take away the glory they had created in the past.
"Yes, you are right. The mecha operators in 250 Ace Mecha Clan used to be the best mecha operators in the army but now, they have all become trash. It is a useless mecha clan." Sun Yaofei remembered the time when they were thrown into the 23rd division like trash. His heart ached. Although they were useless now, his mecha clan's actions had hurt them deeply.
"Ah!" Sun Yaofei's words made the other eight young men exclaim in surprise. They didn't know what 250 Ace Mecha Clan was. They didn't expect the powerful mecha clan to have such a past.
"The reason why it is called 250 Ace Mecha Clan is because there are 250 useless mecha operators in this mecha clan." Sun Yaofei felt wronged when he thought about how 250 Ace Mecha Clan got its name.
"But now, Uncle Sun, you have probably reached the imperial level." Brother Huo wasn't distracted by Sun Yaofei's words. From the first time he saw them, he knew that these people were definitely not top-level ace operators. They must be at a higher level. If not, they wouldn't have been able to kill that 12-man ace mecha team so easily.
"Zhenyu, you have sharp eyes." Sun Yaofei didn't deny it. "However, I was able to reach the imperial level because of this battle."
They didn't expect the people Sun Yaofei saved to be Huo Zhenyu and the others who fought with Ling Lan.
Sun Yaofei told Huo Zhenyu and the others about how they covered the retreat for their regiment commander. Huo Zhenyu and the others listened attentively. They couldn't wait to see the dangerous battle with their own eyes.
"Regiment Commander Ling is indeed an outstanding commander." Huo Zhenyu sighed in his heart. Huo Zhenyu was sent to a base in the central region. Unfortunately, the commander of the base didn't have Regiment Commander Ling's ability and courage. After a short while, the base was breached and the mecha clan he belonged to was scattered. He was the leader of a battle team and was lucky enough to escape with many people.
"That's right. Our Regiment Commander Ling is not only powerful, but he's also very skilled. He's probably younger than all of you. He's the strongest person I've ever seen in the new generation," Sun Yaofei said proudly.
Huo Zhenyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. The surname 'Ling' made him think of Ling Lan.
He suppressed the emotions in his heart and said calmly, "Uncle Sun, may I know Regiment Commander Ling's full name?"
"It's simple. His name is Ling Lan!" Sun Yaofei said proudly.
"Ah!" A few people in Huo Zhenyu's team exclaimed.
Sun Yaofei squinted his eyes. "You know our regiment commander?"
Huo Zhenyu smiled bitterly. "Of course we know him. Regiment Commander Ling is our junior."
Sun Yaofei slapped himself hard on the forehead and said with a laugh, "Oh right, I almost forgot. You guys are all from the First Men's Military Academy. Hey, tell me, is our regiment commander also an influential figure in the military academy?" Sun Yaofei asked with interest. If he could get this information, he could show it off to his old comrades when he returned.
Huo Zhenyu smiled bitterly. "If the king of the military academy who can unify all the factions in the military academy isn't a famous person, then I don't know who else can be called a famous person."
He didn't think that he would be further and further away from Ling Lan. He probably wouldn't have the chance to fulfill the promise of a battle back then.
