It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

1414 He“s Very Good!

Li Shiyu started wondering about the inner workings of his family. His entire body started trembling violently. His elder brother’s words echoed beside his ears. “I’m trying my best to tolerate your stupidity because I treat you as my younger brother. If not, do you think you can live so comfortably? Look at that stupid Li Yingjie.”

Was he able to live so comfortably and choose the career he wanted because his elder brother had formed a pact with the Li family?

For instance, when the time arrived, he would become the beauty that climbed onto powerful figure’s beds?

Li Shiyu clutched his brother’s sleeve even tighter. He said with anguish, “Brother, am I able to leave the Li family because you made some promises with grandfather?”

Li Lanfeng was stunned. He turned his head and replied quickly, “I didn’t.”

“Brother, you’re lying.” Li Shiyu said with sorrow and anger. “Why can’t you tell me the truth? Is it because I’m not strong enough?”

Li Lanfeng turned and looked at Li Shiyu. His gaze was flickering and he revealed a hint of helplessness in his expression. “Why do I have to mention what happened in the past? I’m fine as long as you’re doing well.”

So it is true!

Li Shiyu was enlightened. His freedom was built on his elder brother’s sacrifice. If it wasn’t for the Li family, why would his elder brother be willing to play such a character? He was already Boss’s most trusted aide and one of the best strategists in the Federation. Once he returned to the Federation, he would be able to rise to a high position that had actual power with his own capabilities. If the Li family just helped him a little, being an adjunct in an independent army was an easy task. Even if he entered the 4th Division, he would be able to command an army.

However, from the looks of it now, the Li family wasn’t satisfied with what they had. They wanted more. They wanted to control the entire 4th Division as quickly as possible.

The only way they could achieve this target was to work tightly with Boss. Based on what Boss was doing now, if he was given enough time, he would be able to rule over the Lawless Lands, and with the power of the Lawless Lands, when he returned to the Federation, he would definitely be able to rule over the nation.

At that time, the Li family, which had an intimate relationship with Boss, would be able to rise high in power within the Federation.

Li Shiyu didn’t forget that besides the Lawless Lands, Boss controlled two huge divisions in the Federation. One was the 23rd Division of the Federation and the other was the only powerful mecha independent army, the Lingtian Independent Army.

Both of these armies were powerful enough to affect the decision of the military world in the Federation. In addition to his status as the king of the Lawless Lands, if Boss was willing to help, the Li family would be able to get the 4th Division they deeply yearned for.

But, how could the Li family be sure that Boss would definitely help them? With the help of his elder brother, of course. In order to please his beloved, Boss would help them.

Indeed, the Li family was playing a good game. But, how could they disregard his elder brother’s dignity and ask him to do something so shameless? Even if they were able to get the 4th Division, he wouldn’t be able to clear this stain in his life.

Li Shiyu felt his heart hurting for his elder brother. He understood why Li Lanfeng always said that the Li family was a selfish and calculative family. That was because his elder brother had grown up amidst all these schemes. His elder brother was even hurt by them, while he got protected very well because of the sacrifices his elder brother made. He was able to do what he liked without knowing all the plans happening behind his back.

The most frightening thing was, he almost hated his elder brother because of a misunderstanding. If he didn’t realize this, he would be another person who hurt his elder brother.

He was really a stupid younger brother. How could he not notice the things his elder brother did for his sake behind his back?

Li Shiyu felt his heart throbbing in pain. He was so oblivious. He always thought that his grandfather really loved him and his elder brother.

“Brother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Li Shiyu lowered his head and apologised to his elder brother repeatedly. This was the only way he could feel better.

“What are you sorry about? We just did what we both wanted. I don’t owe you anything and you don’t owe me either,” Li Lanfeng said calmly.

“But…” Li Shiyu still wanted to say something. However, Li Lanfeng reacted faster than him and interrupted his speech, “I don’t have any path of retreat anymore. But, you do.”

“Huh?” Li Shiyu was confused. He didn’t know what Li Lanfeng meant.

“Don’t be deceived by your arrogance. I don’t have much time left. Luo Chao and Han Xuya’s ending depends on you.” Li Lanfeng’s expression was grave. He looked as if he couldn’t bear to do it.

“Li family.” Li Shiyu immediately understood. As Boss’s journey in the Lawless Lands became smoother, the Li family would get more anxious. This explained why his elder brother was in such a hurry to act.

“Think about it carefully. I can only drag for three more days.” Li Lanfeng gave Li Shiyu a deadline. He knew that it was hard for Li Shiyu to make up his mind within such a short period of time, especially when Li Shiyu still thought that his feelings for Luo Chao were still brotherly love.

“Okay.” Li Shiyu nodded seriously. He slowly released his hands that were holding onto Li Lanfeng’s sleeve tightly.

He had to think about this matter now. For the sake of his elder brother, Luo Chao, and Han Xuya, he must understand what his true feelings were. He didn’t want any of these three people to get hurt.

Li Lanfeng patted his shoulder and wanted to leave.

Li Shiyu suddenly thought of something. He grabbed onto Li Lanfeng’s sleeve once again.

“What do you want to say this time?” Li Lanfeng turned around with a helpless expression. However, there was a faint doting emotion on his face.

Li Shiyu lowered his head and struggled for a moment. Then, he raised his head and asked seriously, “Brother, are your feelings towards Boss real?”

He couldn’t bear to see his elder brother getting hurt.

The corner of Li Lanfeng’s lips lifted up slightly. There was warmth in his smile. This was the first time his elder brother gave a smile with some temperature in it. This smile might not be as enchanting as the ones before but it warmed up Li Shiyu’s heart. His agitated heart started calming down gradually.

“He’s good and I’m good too.” Li Lanfeng smiled happily as he replied to Li Shiyu with this sentence. This short sentence represented his feelings, his boss’s feelings, and their relationship.

“That’s good. That’s good…” Li Shiyu didn’t know if he should be happy or sad. He just repeated his words continuously as he released his elder brother’s sleeve. He watched as his elder brother’s figure disappeared in front of him.

He stood blankly on the spot. After a long while, he gave a bitter smile. Even if they liked each other, the world discriminated against gays. Would their relationship have a happy ending? Li Shiyu wasn’t sure. In the end, he could only sigh.

However, his worry for Li Lanfeng and Boss only lasted for a while. That was because he still had a messier relationship to clear up.

Were his feelings towards Luo Chao like what his brother said or did he really treat her as his younger sister? Li Shiyu didn’t dare to think about this deeply in the past but now, reality forced him to think about it carefully…

Li Lanfeng appeared in front of Ling Lan’s door. His lips moved up slightly and he sneered.

As expected of his stupid younger brother!
