Chapter 1223: 1223. Display Of Love

When Meng Lan disappeared, Ling Lan heard the sound of the door sliding open.

Clear footsteps were heard. They stopped behind her.

“Lanfeng? What’s the matter?” Ling Lan asked calmly.

A fair hand was gently placed on the handle of her chair. A beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Li Lanfeng’s body was so close to Ling Lan’s body that she could practically feel the heat emanating from his body.

Li Lanfeng leaned his head closer towards Ling Lan and stared at her in the eyes. His smile was seductive and enchanting. Ling Lan could feel her heart pounding furiously. However, she was able to control herself immediately and stopped her heart from beating too quickly. She forced her heart rate to return back to normal.

Externally, all Ling Lan did in response to such seductiveness was just calmly blinking, she didn’t twitch in front of such seduction. However, it had to be noted she had even seen such a seductive side to Li Lanfeng before. What happened to him?

“What is it?” Ling Lan asked in concern.

“Nothing.” Li Lanfeng forced out a smile when he didn’t see any changes in Ling Lan’s expression. He didn’t seem affected by his beautiful face. As expected of the straightest of all straight men. He couldn’t seduce him with his looks.

Li Lanfeng felt nervous about the chances of him being with Ling Lan. For an instant, he thought about giving up this forbidden love. If he could watch Ling Lan quietly at the side, he would be happy too, he hoped… He would watch him marry a lady and have children…

When he thought about Ling Lan being someone not him, Li Lanfeng felt a sharp stabbing pain in his heart. In the end, he wasn’t willing to let Ling Lan go. If Ling Lan remained single for the rest of his life, he might be able to control himself. However, if Ling Lan were to love someone, he might go berserk. He would definitely turn crazy and might do something he would regret for the rest of his life.

It was true he couldn’t bear to hurt Ling Lan, but he would definitely hurt the person he loved. He would scheme against the person secretly until she laid rest in a coffin.

This was how scary he was. Because of his Phoenix Thrall Fate, his personality was twisted to the extreme, making him an incredibly selfish person. He would never let go of the person he loved.

However, if he really did that, would he be able to hide it from Ling Lan? Li Lanfeng knew it was impossible to pull the wool over Ling Lan’s eyes. He was smart but Ling Lan was just as smart, if not more. He was good at scheming but not at strategizing. Ling Lan, on the other hand, was adept in both. He was as ruthless as him too.

Moreover, Ling Lan was more proficient in hiding his emotions and thoughts than anyone he had seen. He would never reveal his plans to anyone. On the front, he and Han Jijyun were in charge of strategizing. To other people, Ling Lan was just a cold, vicious, heartless, and a powerful man of prowess. Yet, not many knew how smart he was.

Li Lanfeng wasn’t afraid of any strategist except for one, Ling Lan.

Ling Lan just had the aura of invincibility around him. Of course, it might be because he liked him. However, to his other comrades like Qi Long, Ling Lan was undefeatable too.

Deep down inside, he hoped that he would be able to stand beside Ling Lan and take some burden off his shoulders.

No one knew how tough Ling Lan’s life was but Li Lanfeng knew. He noticed everything about Ling Lan. Maybe at the start of their relationship, he just felt sorry that Ling Lan had to work so hard. However, this initial feeling developed into a stray path. By the time he realised it, it was too late.

“Don’t keep things from me. Our relationship isn’t so fickle.” Ling Lan could see the pain in Li Lanfeng’s eyes.

Compared to anyone else, Ling Lan was more patient and gentle to Li Lanfeng. If Qi Long or her other comrades were so hesitant, she might have started hitting them already.

One of the reasons why she couldn’t hit Li Lanfeng was his face. After all, Ling Lan was a beauty lover. She couldn’t bear to hit beauties. Even when she was training Luo Lang, she would be more gentle towards him. He was as powerful as people like Qi Long but his beautiful face softened her heart.

Why are you treating me so well? Li Lanfeng wanted to pour his soul out when he saw Ling Lan’s concerned gaze. However, just as he was going to speak out his real feelings, his logical side took over and he calmed down instantly.

“Ling Lan, have you pursued someone before?” Li Lanfeng gathered his thoughts before asking

Ling Lan thought about her middling love life before answering, “I don’t think so.”

Pursue someone? In her past life, all she thought about was how to survive the next day. She had no chance to fall in love with someone.

This lifetime, she had to protect the Ling family and her mother before her father came back. Her only goal back then was to become stronger, so she didn’t have the time to think about superficial things like love. After her father came back, she was forced into the First Men’s Military Academy. At that time, she was trying her best to hide her female identity, so she couldn’t bother pursuing love. After she entered the military, she put all her effort into raising her comrades as she made a two years promise to her mother, leaving her with no time.

Then, because of unforeseen circumstances, she had to continue to stay in the military. Her military rank just kept rising and rising, attracting more attention than ever. More and more wanted to harm her and her family. She was busy dealing with all the schemes thrown at her and had no time for love. Thinking back, she was almost 50 years old if she counted her past life. Yet, she hadn’t had a taste of love. Ling Lan suddenly felt sorry for herself. In the novels she read in her past life, so many ladies managed to find their Mr. Right after they transmigrated. Why hadn’t anyone confessed to her yet?

Fine. She was currently disguised as a man now so if a man really falls in love with her… Ling Lan shuddered. She didn’t think she could accept it. Similarly, if she fell in love with a man, she couldn’t chase him with her current identity too, right?

Ling Lan was immersed in her own thoughts so she didn’t see how bright Li Lanfeng’s eyes had gotten when she said that she never pursued anyone before. His face turned radiant because of it. Since Ling Lan never chased anyone, this meant that he never liked anyone before.

“I wanted to get some advice from you but I think that you can’t help me now.” Li Lanfeng smiled as he teased her. A simple smile was enough to blind Ling Lan with his beauty.

Although Ling Lan almost got enchanted by Li Lanfeng’s beauty, she still heard the mocking in his tone. She glared at him coldly and said, “I have two fiancées.”

This was a stab to Li Lanfeng’s heart. His smile immediately disappeared.

Ling Lan felt immensely satisfied seeing that smug smile off his face. The best way to hurt a single man was to flaunt her love life.
