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

1404 Enchanted!

“Must?” Li Lanfeng turned to him as he flashed an eerie smile. “Why must I help you?”

Li Lanfeng didn’t understand why Zhao Jun was so confident. History had shown, any problem that was concerned with Ling Lan, he would always side with her.

“You won’t help me?” Zhao Jun returned the gesture with a similar eerie smile. “Then, don’t blame me if I tell Boss that you don’t like Han Xuya and Luo Chao after I go back.”

Li Lanfeng squinted his eyes as a dangerous gleam flashed by them. “What part of me doesn’t like them?”

In that instant, the thought of destroying Zhao Jun went through Li Lanfeng’s mind.

“If you like them, why are you trying so hard to push them away? Hehe,” Zhao Jun sniggered as he said. He wasn’t the least afraid of the dangerous aura Li Lanfeng was exuding.

“Zhao Jun, did I ever tell you that you must always act with caution if you want to live longer?” The smile on Li Lanfeng’s face got progressively more devilish.

Zhao Jun immediately wiped away the smug smile on his face. “Fine, fine. Don’t smile like that. It is creepy. Just take it that I didn’t say anything.”

It couldn’t be helped, he was just too familiar with that smile. That was the smile when Li Lanfeng was scheming someone’s death. He had seen and experienced the aftereffects of the smile, so the smile now would just give him the chills. In fact, he wouldn’t mind it too much if the smile was not directed at him, but when Li Lanfeng smiled like that at him, Zhao Jun could feel his blood turning into ice.

Li Lanfeng retracted his devilish smile slowly. He remained silent for a few seconds before opening his mouth and asking in a composed tone, “Was I too obvious?”

“Not really.” Zhao Jun touched his nose and continued awkwardly, “It’s just that I understand you too well to fall into your trap. You are quite impatient towards people you don’t like.”

“Really? I thought I was quite patient,” Li Lanfeng muttered to himself softly.

“Huh?” Zhao Jun acted as if he didn’t hear what Li Lanfeng said. No one knew if it was because Li Lanfeng’s voice was too soft or was Zhao Jun pretending to not hear it.

Either way, Li Lanfeng wasn’t interested in continuing with this topic. From Zhao Jun’s words, he knew that the effect of his outer facade was fading away.

Yes, when he saw Luo Chao and Han Xuya staying beside Ling Lan every day, he felt as though his heart was being stabbed by a thousand knife cuts. He had really tried his best to endure until now. If he hadn’t controlled himself, the exploding amounts of jealousy within him could have manipulated him to lay his hands on Luo Chao and Han Xuya. But, luckily, in the end, his rational side still suppressed his emotional side.

“Actually, you don’t have to worry. From what I see, Boss will not lose his edge nor ambition because of his romantic relationships.” Without asking Li Lanfeng directly, Zhao Jun could only guess why Li Lanfeng didn’t like Luo Chao and Han Xuya. In his mind, Li Lanfeng was an ambitious person. So, as an ambitious person, he would do everything in his power to propel himself forward, but unexpectedly, Li Lanfeng seemed to have tied his ambition with Boss. In that case, it was natural for him to discriminate against any ‘unfavorable’ elements that would affect Boss’s grand ambition.

“Yes, I’m not worried about that. If I was worried about that, I wouldn’t have allowed them to stay beside Boss,” Li Lanfeng said. “On another note, about your problem, do you think Boss will lighten your punishment just because I say so? If you really do want a lighter punishment, you should perform better so your achievements would offset your initial failure. And to do that, you will have to complete the task Boss gave you with minimal casualties. This is the only way I think you will have a chance to survive.”

“Okay! Help me to think of a plan please.” Zhao Jun would pester Li Lanfeng until the very end. Thinking about the hours of work he would have to do to get this pest away from him, Li Lanfeng could already feel the back of his head itching.

“Remember that you owe me a life.” Li Lanfeng helplessly agreed, a part of the reason was because he wanted to get rid of the pesky bug, but the main reason why he wanted to get away was because he wanted to go back to Ling Lan’s side. Without him looking after Ling Lan, he was afraid that Ling Lan would cheat on him, wait, no. He meant he was afraid someone would snatch Ling Lan away.

He used one night to summarise all the information on the enemy he had on his hands. Then, Li Lanfeng came up with a few protocols for Zhao Jun to follow in different situations. There were protocols if they wanted to ambush, spy, or even infiltrate. All in all, Zhao Jun would have to rely on himself during the battle to decide what he decided to go. Li Lanfeng couldn’t help him with this. After all, Zhao Jun was the regiment commander of his own mecha clan. This was the difference between a strategist and a commander. Strategists would only come up with the framework of the plan, while the commander would execute the plans. But, plans were plans in the end. There would always be an unstable element when applied to reality. Thus, it was up to the commander to make the necessary adjustments.

Li Lanfeng came hurriedly and left hurriedly. Three days later, he returned to the rainbow palace.

“Huh? Why are you back so early?” Even Ling Lan was surprised by Li Lanfeng’s speed.

“Why did you say it like that? Do you not want to see me?” Since they were alone, Li Lanfeng took off his silver mask. His face, which could mesmerise people in a second, had a tinge of mock anger and resentment on it, adding flavour to his already cute puffed up cheeks. Ling Lan almost couldn’t handle it.

“Can you speak properly?” Ling Lan held onto her forehead as she sighed.

Didn’t this man know that his face could bend a straight man? Why was he still giving this expression? If she was really a man, Ling Lan didn’t know if she could remain straight.

“I am hurt by your words.” Li Lanfeng gave a beautiful mourning expression as he leaned on Ling Lan’s chest. His entire face showed that he was looking for consolation.

Suddenly, his doey expression turned grave. He straightened his body and grabbed Ling Lan’s chest forcefully. His entire aura turned cold. “You’re hurt.”

“Huh?” A moment ago, he was still looking for comfort like a petite young lady. Why did he change the topic so abruptly? Ling Lan was stunned.

“Why hadn’t Li Shiyu treated you? Why is the smell of blood on you so strong?” Li Lanfeng was extremely nervous. “Where did you get hurt? Are you still bleeding? Is it because Shiyu’s agent doesn’t work? What happened? How did you get hurt when I just left for three days?”

Why was he so helpless every time Ling Lan was hurt? Every time Ling Lan was hurt, she wasn’t the only one in pain. He was hurting too. The difference was, Ling Lan’s body hurt while his heart hurt.

Upon hearing Li Lanfeng’s rapid series of questions, no matter how calm Ling Lan was, she still couldn’t control the flow of her blood. It shot right up to her head. She was embarrassed!

“Ah, why is your face so red? Is it because...” Lanfeng’s face was pale. There was a stark contrast with Ling Lan’s red face and her normal cold face. Just when he was about to turn his head and call for Li Shiyu’s help.

Suddenly, his world started spinning. Boom! He got pressed down by Ling Lan. At the same time, Ling Lan used her right hand to press his mouth firmly to stop him from shouting.

“Shut up,” Ling Lan said with frustration and anger.

Just based on the swift and precise action Ling Lan did just now, suppressing him with a single move, it was enough to prove that there was nothing wrong with Ling Lan’s body.

Li Lanfeng was a smart person. He got agitated just now because he was too concerned about Ling Lan. So, when he noticed that Ling Lan was alright, his rationale took over and he nodded his head obediently to show that he wouldn’t say anything. action

After Ling Lan noticed him nodding, she put down the hand that was covering his mouth, revealing the extremely beautiful face. The corners of his eyes and the corner of his lips were both filled with smiles. The bright smile told Ling Lan that Li Lanfeng was very happy that nothing happened to her. He was really worried about her...

Although Li Lanfeng’s series of questions made Ling Lan very awkward and even embarrassed, when she saw the smile, her heart started getting warm and restless. She was grateful for the concern Li Lanfeng had for her.

Yes, she would never admit that she got enchanted by his smile.
