“As long as you"re fine,” Li Lanfeng smiled gently as he said.
“But still, your nose is really sensitive… You can actually smell it.” Ling Lan was a little speechless.
Li Lanfeng smiled and remained silent. He wouldn"t tell Ling Lan that his entire mind was on him. He would notice it even if there was just a slight change about him.
Ling Lan felt that she had explained everything she should, pa.s.sing this crisis smoothly. Hence, she pushed her right hand on the ground and jumped up.
She looked down to see Li Lanfeng still lying on the ground with a faint smile. She stretched her hand out naturally and prepared to pull him up.
Li Lanfeng"s smile got brighter when he saw the outstretched hand. He reached his hand out and felt force coming from the hand to pull him out. With the help of that firm hand, he stood up from the ground.
Li Lanfeng didn"t control the sudden force. He just allowed it to pull him into the other person"s arms.
Ling Lan was flabbergasted as she hugged the beauty that voluntarily fell into her arms… What was going on? She didn"t use that much force, right?
“I was too worried just now. When you suddenly attacked me, I instinctively wanted to resist, but I stopped my domain forcefully when I realised that it was you. I got injured by the backlash.” Ling Lan felt the warm breaths by her ear. It was a little itchy. Li Lanfeng was explaining why he was so weak.
Was he saying that it was her fault?
Forget it, they were just hugging each other for a while, right? It wasn"t the first time they hugged. They had done it many times in the past, so once more wouldn"t mean anything. Moreover, Li Lanfeng was a beauty. She wouldn"t lose anything by hugging him.
Li Lanfeng gave an evil smile when he noticed that Ling Lan had stopped resisting. His plan succeeded. He leaned closer to Ling Lan and furiously breathed in the cold aura on Ling Lan"s body. He hoped to get more of it so that he could be able to satiate his desire for a longer period of time.
Love that penetrated through the bone. This was definitely an emotion that could turn someone crazy. Sometimes, Li Lanfeng felt that he had already gone berserk.
“Are you feeling better?” Ling Lan asked in concern. If he still wasn"t feeling well, maybe he needed to be fed with agents.
Li Lanfeng could feel that Ling Lan was about to release him. He wasn"t willing to let Ling Lan go so he turned his body and grabbed Ling Lan"s waist tightly. He leaned his head on Ling Lan"s shoulder and said with a hint of desperation as if he was using all his might to bear with the pain, “Ling Lan, in the past, I told you that I like someone, right? I really really like that person.”
Ling Lan wanted to push Li Lanfeng away, but when she heard the sorrow in Li Lanfeng"s heart, she continued hugging him. “What"s the matter? Tell me about it.”
She had never been in a relationship but she had read multiple romance novels before. Thus, she might still be able to help her friends with some advice.
“But, that person doesn"t like me. That person doesn"t like me at all,” Li Lanfeng choked as he said that. Even if Ling Lan couldn"t see Li Lanfeng"s expression, she could feel his despair.
Ling Lan knew that Li Lanfeng was chasing the person he liked, but she always thought that it was not an issue to him. He was a sly person and had many tricks up his sleeves. After scheming against the person a few times, no woman would be able to resist him. But, surprisingly, the strategist that she thought was omnipotent would meet such a huge rejection.
“How did you chase after her?” Ling Lan decided to find the problem from his methods.
“I hint my love to that person many times but that person didn"t seem to get it. So, it must be because that person doesn"t like me but didn"t want our relationship to become awkward so that person pretended to be oblivious, “Li Lanfeng replied.
“Not everyone is so quick on the uptake. If you don"t outright say it, how will the other party know?” Ling Lan felt helpless. In the novels, many people missed their love of their lives because they didn"t confess. She once thought that the people in this world were more straightforward but from the looks of it now, they were no different from the people in the world of her past life. They still had romantic problems like one-sided love.
“Really?” Li Lanfeng seemed uncertain.
“Of course,” Ling Lan said firmly.
“But, what if that person rejects me if I confess? Ling Lan, I"ll really become crazy if that person rejects me. I really love that person. I love that person so much,” Li Lanfeng said as he clutched his chest. He was afraid of the answer. If Ling Lan rejected him, he wouldn"t know what he would do. He really didn"t know if he would resort to hurting Ling Lan at that time. This was the reason why he didn"t dare to take the crucial step.
Ling Lan didn"t know what to say. She didn"t expect Li Lanfeng to be so crazy in love. This fact angered Ling Lan quite a bit. Who on earth was that person who mesmerised her strategist to this point? If she really rejects Li Lanfeng, her strategist would be destroyed.
To prevent one of her important men from getting destroyed, Ling Lan had no choice but to rack her brains to come up with a solution to help Li Lanfeng get the lady he liked.
“If she doesn"t agree, we can knock her unconscious so you can sleep with her first?” Ling Lan knew that this idea wasn"t morally right, especially to the lady, but for the sake of Li Lanfeng and herself, she had to resort to more devious means. Of course, based on how much Li Lanfeng loved this lady, he wouldn"t do anything bad to her. He would definitely be a good husband and father.
After thinking about this, the guilt in Ling Lan"s heart lessened a little.
“Knock her unconscious?” Li Lanfeng raised his head and looked at Ling Lan oddly. “I can"t do it.”
“Why not?” Ling Lan was surprised. Li Lanfeng was a t.i.tled domain realm formidable warrior while she was an imperial realm formidable warrior. How could they not be able to do this?
“That person… holds a high position. There are many powerful people around that person, including imperial realm formidable warriors…” Li Lanfeng chose a few points to reply to Ling Lan. He spoke cleverly. It was up to the listener how she wanted to interpret his answer.
In actual fact, Li Lanfeng was crying in his heart. If he could do it, he would have done it a long time ago. Of course, in order to make the other party be responsible for him, he had already prepared himself mentally to be the one at the bottom.
“You fell in love with such a powerful person? She even has imperial realm formidable warriors protecting her? There"s only four families in the Federation that have this ability. Which one is she from?” Ling Lan knew that the Li and Ye families were pushed out by the government of the Federation to suppress the four elite families. Solely based on their foundation, the Li and Ye families weren"t strong enough. However, with the help of the government and the fact that the Li and the Ye families each owned half the business world, the reputation of these two families was higher than the four elite families. It was understandable that they became the top two elite families.
As expected, this dense man never understood his obvious hints. Li Lanfeng sighed in his heart deeply again. He didn"t have the interest to reply to Ling Lan anymore.
But, when Ling Lan heard Li Lanfeng sighing, she thought that she made the right guess. She thought that Li Lanfeng felt too hopeless so he didn"t want to say who that person was…
Ling Lan contemplated for a moment before saying, “Why don"t you seduce that person?” Since they couldn"t use brute force, they could only use the soft approach. Ling Lan didn"t believe that any women would be able to reject Li Lanfeng if he seduced the lady with this mesmerizing face of his.
“Seduce?” Li Lanfeng"s eyes lit up. Would this work?
“That"s right, seduction.” Ling Lan gritted her teeth.
“But I don"t know how.” Li Lanfeng"s gaze turned dull.
“You don"t know? Learn then.” Ling Lan was agitated. Why were her men all so troublesome? Not only did she have to guide them to become stronger, she even needed to help them think of ways to get their wives now. Why was it so difficult to be a Boss?
“Teach me then,” Li Lanfeng smiled and said.
He was waiting to say this sentence all along.
