Very quickly, Ling Lan returned to the Ling family mansion that she had not returned to for many years. At the entrance of the mansion, Ling Qin was waiting anxiously. When he saw the hover car, he relaxed.
The moment the hover car came to a stop, Ling Qin rushed to open the door. Seeing Ling Lan covered in bandages, even though he had already seen her before, tears still streamed down his face. "Young Master, you're finally back. Mistress is waiting for you." The Young Miss they should have doted on had instead suffered so much because of a momentary lapse in judgment. When he thought of all this, Ling Qin felt extremely guilty.
Ling Lan nodded at Ling Qin. Soon, a stretcher was prepared and Ling Lan was carried into the mansion. She was sent to the Ling family's treatment room. Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang were brought to the guest room of the Ling family's mansion to rest. Of course, Li Lanfeng let them go so easily because Ling Lan had already instructed him to do so.
If the Ling family's mansion wasn't safe, then no place in the Federation was safe.
After entering the treatment room, Ling Lan saw Lan Luofeng waiting inside. When she saw Ling Lan covered in bandages, her bright eyes turned red. Ling Lan thought that she would be greeted with a rain of tears from Lan Luofeng, but unexpectedly, Lan Luofeng smiled and forced her tears back.
"My Lan 'er, you're the best. Mom is proud of you!" Lan Luofeng smiled faintly and kissed Ling Lan's forehead. This surprised Ling Lan. The current Lan Luofeng was clearly different from the tear-stained mother in her memories.
Ling Lan was slowly placed on a bed. Inadvertently, Ling Lan caught a glimpse of Lan Luofeng, who had her back turned, quietly wiping away her tears. Suddenly, Ling Lan understood. It wasn't that Lan Luofeng didn't want to cry. She was just afraid that crying would cause more trouble for her.
Just like how Ling Lan understood Lan Luofeng, Lan Luofeng understood Ling Lan too. That was why she didn't want Ling Lan to worry. That was why she suppressed the sadness in her heart and gave Ling Lan a big smile so that she wouldn't worry.
This was her mother. She looked like a dodder flower that needed a strong object to grow. However, she was stronger than any other plant. She wouldn't give up easily. That was why, after Ling Xiao's' sacrifice ', Lan Luofeng was able to protect Ling Xiao's legacy from the greedy clansmen of the Ling family, protecting Ling Lan as she grew up.
"Mom, I'm fine!" This motherly love warmed Ling Lan's heart. She didn't want Lan Luofeng to worry so she spoke up.
Lan Luofeng quickly turned back and nodded at Ling Lan with a smile. Everything would have been perfect if not for the tears that hadn't dried in the corner of her eyes.
After the long journey, Ling Lan was already exhausted. She didn't say much to Lan Luofeng before falling into a deep sleep.
Facing the sleeping Ling Lan, Lan Luofeng and Ling Nanyi asked everyone to leave and closed the door. Only then did the two of them gently remove the bandages on her body and face.
Seeing that there wasn't a single inch of unharmed skin under the bandages, covered in wounds that hadn't healed yet, Lan Luofeng finally couldn't control herself. She threw herself to one side and started crying. She was afraid that her cries would wake Ling Lan up so she covered her mouth with her right hand and forced her cries to stay in her throat.
Ling Nanyi was also crying. When Ling Qin came back, he told her that Miss had been seriously injured, but she hadn't expected it to be this serious. How much pain must it have been? How did their Miss endure it? Ling Nanyi could feel the pain just by looking at it.
Lan Luofeng was indeed a strong mother. Not long after, she came back with tears streaming down her face. She carefully applied medicine on Ling Lan's wounds before wrapping them with new bandages. Their movements were very gentle. They were afraid that they would wake Ling Lan up. Even so, Ling Lan's brows were still furrowed tightly in her sleep. Her brows never relaxed.
At night, Ling Xiao finally rushed back to the old mansion, covered in dust. The moment he entered, he saw Ling Qin nodding at him. He instantly heaved a sigh of relief. After arguing with the people in the military for an entire day, he wasn't able to receive news about Ling Lan immediately.
When he came to the living room, he saw Lan Luofeng, Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang chatting. They were talking about Ling Lan's experiences on Planet Haijiao. Lan Luofeng was proud of her but her heart ached at the same time.
When they saw Ling Xiao, Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang hurriedly stood up and saluted. "General, nice to meet you!"
"You're all Lan 'er's friends. That means you're my nephews too. Don't be shy." Ling Xiao smiled. He turned and looked at Lan Luofeng. "Madam, what are you talking about?"
"We were just talking about the battle on Planet Haijiao and you came back." Lan Luofeng smiled.
"I see. I have something to ask too. Let's go to my study." Ling Xiao was decisive. He directly brought Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang to his study.
Ling Xiao's study was located in the old mansion. Only people that Ling Xiao trusted had the right to enter. Ling Lan had already told him that Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang were trustworthy people. It was also Ling Lan's suggestion to bring them to the study.
The moment they entered the study, they saw Ling Lan, who was covered in bandages, sitting behind a large desk. She was flipping through a book.
"Boss, are you alright?" Luo Lang shouted in surprise.
Although Li Lanfeng appeared to be calm, his eyes still revealed his excitement.
"I'm much better now. I'm sorry for making you all worried," Ling Lan said apologetically. In order to not be suspected, Ling Lan even hid it from her most trusted friends.
"No, that's good. If not, we wouldn't be able to act so real." Li Lanfeng agreed with Ling Lan's decision. The more people who knew about it, the easier it would be for them to expose themselves. It was better to not know anything from the start. That way, they wouldn't make any mistakes.
Only Luo Lang was confused. What were Boss and Li Lanfeng talking about?
"Sit down," Ling Xiao said. Seeing the difference between the two people that his daughter trusted so much, he couldn't help but laugh. Li Lanfeng was indeed a meticulous person. As for Luo Lang, he didn't expect him to be such a straightforward person. It didn't match his appearance at all.
Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang, who didn't know what was going on, sat down on two chairs at the side. They didn't expect Ling Xiao to do the same thing as them. However, he sat down on the chair opposite them. It wasn't like what they thought, where Boss would give up his seat to General Ling Xiao.
"Father, what's the situation at the military headquarters? Don't tell me any lies. I've asked Lingyu and Grandpa Ling Qin. There's no benefit in lying to me. "Ling Lan glanced at her father coldly. She started with Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao facepalmed speechlessly. When did he switch roles with his daughter? Was this something that his daughter should say to him?
Li Lanfeng's eyes flashed. He didn't expect Ling Lan to be so domineering when facing General Ling Xiao. When would he have such courage?
As for Luo Lang, his big beautiful eyes were filled with stars of admiration. Ahhh, Boss is amazing!
