Chapter 1161 Settle!
After thinking through Ling Lan’s enlightening words, Li Lanfeng’s eyes suddenly s.h.i.+ned brightly. He smiled and asked, “What if that person dislikes me?”
Ling Lan stared into Li Lanfeng’s eyes. “If you wore your mask, she might not like you. However, if you reveal your face, no one will be able to dislike you. Lanfeng, believe me when I say that”
Even she was unable to resist the lure of his face, and she was the strongest person she knew. Well, there might be people who just didn’t like his kind of face… she would lit a candle for Li Lanfeng if the girl he liked was one of those people.
“Only woman?” Li Lanfeng muttered quietly.
“What did you say?” Ling Lan wasn’t sure if she had heard correctly since Li Lanfeng spoke in a very soft tone.
“Nothing.” Li Lanfeng gathered his thoughts. “I just want to know how to seduce… I mean chase the person.”
Li Lanfeng suddenly raised his eyebrows and showed Ling Lan a cheeky smile. “What methods do you have? Don’t tell me you don’t know. Your fiancées didn’t just drop from the sky.”
Ling Lan had never felt so frustrated before. She never expected Li Lanfeng to think of her as a casanova because of her fiancées. Furthermore, her fiancées indeed really did drop from the sky figuratively.
However, Ling Lan couldn’t tell him the truth. She looked through the love books Little Four gave her and tried to find a suitable answer.
She needed to come up with a concrete solid plan so that Li Lanfeng could live a happy life. Ling Lan sighed. It was so difficult being a regiment commander. Not only did she have to train her comrades, she needed to worry about their future too.
“Maybe you can confess to her first?” Ling Lan was a straightforward person.
Li Lanfeng turned hesitant. “Well, the person currently has someone else. If I confess directly, I would most probably be rejected.”
Ling Lan creased her brows. “You want to be a home-wrecker?”
Li Lanfeng seemed fl.u.s.tered. “No, it’s not confirmed yet.” Nothing was confirmed if Ling Lan wasn’t married yet.
Ling Lan’s expression softened. Although she was close with Li Lanfeng, she would still look down on him if he decided to be a home-wrecker.
“I believe that I’m more suitable than the person’s current partner,” Li Lanfeng said earnestly when he saw Ling Lan’s expression turning soft. Gender was an issue but he didn’t care. He believed he could get what he wanted in the end.
Ling Lan left for only two days but he was already missing her terribly. He didn’t have the mood to eat, work or do anything productive. He just wanted to stay in bed and relish in their past memories. When he received Ling Lan’s message to come to the virtual world, he had been waiting in the virtual world ever since 10pm last night. He didn’t want to waste even a second of time when in the presence of Ling Lan.
The time they spent apart made him realise that if he lost Ling Lan, he wouldn’t be able to live normally. He would be like a dead person walking on the surface of the planet. He had been living like a dead person for 13 years. He only felt alive after meeting Rabbit in the virtual world when he was 13 years old.
He yearned for the hope and warmth Ling Lan gave him. He couldn’t bear to let go of it. He didn’t want to fall into that deep dark room all alone again. He had no path of retreat now. He could only walk on this path of self-destruction.
But he really wanted to continue on this path even if it meant the end of him! Since Ling Lan gave him hope for his life which made him alive, why couldn’t he continue on this path? Ling Lan’s connivance caused his greediness for her love to grow. It destroyed every rational thought in his mind.
‘I’m sorry, Ling Lan. I want to try accepting my fate at least once. If I didn’t try my best for at least once, I wouldn’t be able to give up. In the past, I hated my Phoenix Thrall Fate. Yet, now, I wish that it is true. I wish that you’re the king in my Phoenix Thrall Fate. If it is you, I won’t mind accepting my fate.’
Ling Lan could tell that Li Lanfeng was serious about his new-found love. She didn’t really know what love should feel like, but based on her understanding of Li Lanfeng, he would either not love or love with all his heart. If his love wasn’t reciprocated, he would be crippled.
‘Ah! This is so troublesome!’ Ling Lan scratched her head in her mindscape. She didn’t want her strategist to be crippled because of love. Don’t you know how hard it is to groom a trustworthy and capable strategist?
She had two advisers in her mecha clan, Han Jijyun and Li Lanfeng. Han Jijyun was more forthright while Li Lanfeng was more scheming. They complimented each other perfectly, making them the best combination of advisers. She would be really hard-pressed to find another combination of strategist as perfect as them again, as none of them could be easily replaced.
“I have prepared my heart for this love.” Li Lanfeng had already decided to give it his all.
“Little Four, what do we do now?” Ling Lan frowned deeply in her mindscape.
“Boss, I’m also clueless. I have not evolved enough to know what love is.” Little Four felt helpless too. He was evolving quickly but the difficulty of Boss’s problems seemed to be evolving at a faster rate than him. Little Four suddenly felt the urge to evolve quickly to understand the weird emotion called love.
After experiencing helplessness of the situation, Little Four realized he wasn’t competent enough for his role as the number one follower of Boss. He clenched his tiny fists as he told himself that he must evolve faster.
Luckily, the ten instructors of the learning s.p.a.ce didn’t know Little Four’s thoughts. Otherwise, they would have charged out from the learning s.p.a.ce together to prevent him from having such thoughts. They wouldn’t be able to handle it if Little Four evolved too quickly.
“What do I do now? Li Lanfeng is still waiting for my answer.” Li Lanfeng was usually frustrating but this smittened Li Langfeng was even more frustrating. She and Little Four were completely helpless about his problem. How was she able to think of a way to help Li Lanfeng chase his future wife when she never had any experiences herself?
“How about telling him to go slowly?” Little Four couldn’t bear to see Ling Lan scratching her head until her hair turned messy.
Ling Lan’s eyes immediately lit up. She patted Little Four’s head. “Not bad.”
Ling Lan guiltily looked at Li Lanfeng and coughed in embarra.s.sment. “Cough… how about you chase after her slowly.”
“Chase slowly…” Li Lanfeng went into deep thought.
“Yes, chase slowly. Constantly appear in front of her and seduce her in whatever ways you can.” Ling Lan speed-read through the book about seducing women in her mindscape. She read from the book. “Create an ambiguous atmosphere and tease her occasionally.”
“Of course, you must do all these discreetly. Otherwise, the person you love will pounce on you” Ling Lan was reading a different book now. She flipped the book so quickly that she didn’t notice the cover page. The t.i.tle was ‘A woman’s way of love’.
When Ling Lan said those words, she quickly felt that something wasn’t right. She closed the book and read the cover. ‘d.a.m.n it, this is the wrong book! Huh!’ She didn’t forget to throw the book at Little Four’s forehead.
