Chapter 926 Handsome!

Ling Lan finally arrived at the Ling family’s house. Ling Qin was already waiting for her anxiously at the porch. When he saw the hover car appeared on the horizon, he felt relieved.

The moment the hover car stopped in front of the porch, Ling Qin rushed forward and opened the door, revealing Ling Lan who was covered in bandages. He had already seen her once but he still couldn’t hold in his tears. “Young master, you’re finally back. Mistress is waiting for you.” Their young miss should have lived a life without any worry. However, a single thought caused her to suffer so much. Ling Qin felt regretful as he thought about this.

Ling Lan nodded. Soon, she was carried into the house on a stretcher that was prepared beforehand. She was sent to the treatment room hurriedly while Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang were invited to the main hall to have some rest. Li Lanfeng left Ling Lan without much hesitation because Ling Lan had already preempted him at the start.

If the Ling family’s house was not safe, nowhere would be safe.

Ling Lan entered the treatment room and saw her mother waiting for her inside. When Lan Luofeng saw Ling Lan entering with bandages all over her, her eyes turned red. Ling Lan thought that she was going to cry but instead, Lan Luofeng smiled and forced her tears back.

“My Lan’er, you’re the best. Mother is proud of you!” Lan Luofeng smiled gently as she kissed Ling Lan on her forehead. Ling Lan was stunned. This Lan Luofeng was different from the one in her memory.

Ling Lan was slowly placed on a bed. Accidentally, Ling Lan saw her mother turning her back to her and wiping her tears away. She quickly understood why her mother was acting like this. Lan Luofeng was worried that she would interfere with her rest when she cried in front of her.

Just like how Ling Lan understood Lan Luofeng, Lan Luofeng understood her too. Hence, she didn’t want Ling Lan to worry. That was why she controlled her emotions and gave Ling Lan a smile to comfort her.

This was her mother. She looked like a weak flower that needed the protection of everyone but in actuality, she was stronger than everyone. She never gave up easily. This was why Lan Luofeng was able to protect Ling Xiao’s merits from her greedy relatives after he ‘died’ a few years ago and raised Ling Lan up safely.

“Mummy, I’m fine!” Ling Lan felt touched by the love of her mother. She didn’t want her mother to worry.

Lan Luofeng turned immediately. She smiled as she looked at Ling Lan. Everything seemed perfect except for the tears on the corner of her eyes.

It was a tiring journey so Ling Lan didn’t chat much with Lan Luofeng. She quickly went to sleep.

When Ling Lan was sleeping, Lan Luofeng and Ling Nanyi asked everyone else to leave. They closed the door and started unwrapping the bandages around Ling Lan.

Lan Luofeng saw the injured skin under the bandages. Every single part of the skin was either bruised or cracked. The wounds hadn’t healed. Lan Luofeng couldn’t control her emotions anymore. She rushed to the side and started crying. She was afraid that she would wake Ling Lan up so she covered her mouth and forced herself to cry silently.

Tears ran down Ling Nanyi’s face too. Ling Qin told her that their young miss was heavily injured but she didn’t expect the injuries to be so bad. How painful was it at that time? How did their young miss endure it? Ling Nanyi felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife.

As a strong mother, Lan Luofeng came back beside Ling Lan after a while and started treating Ling Lan’s wounds. Then, she used new bandages to wrap her wounds. Her actions were light and gentle. However, Ling Lan continued frowning in her sleep.

At night, Ling Xiao finally came back. The moment he entered the house, Ling Qin nodded at him and Ling Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. He was fighting a verbal war with the people from the military so he wasn’t able to get first-hand news of Ling Lan.

He came to the main hall and saw Lan Luofeng talking with Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang. They were talking about what Ling Lan did on Planet Haijiao. Lan Luofeng’s expression was filled with pride as she heard about Ling Lan achievements.

When they saw Ling Xiao, Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang stood up hurriedly. “General!”

“You’re both Lan’er’s friend. There’s no need to be polite,” Ling Xiao smiled as he said. He turned and looked at Lan Luofeng. “What are you talking about?”

“You came when we were talking about the battle on Planet Haijiao.” Lan Luofeng smiled gently.

“I see. I’ve something to ask too. Come to my study.” Ling Xiao acted quickly. He brought Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang to his study directly.

Only people who Ling Xiao trusted could enter his study. Ling Lan told Ling Xiao that Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang could be trusted. She was the one who suggested bringing them into the study too.

The moment they entered the study, they saw Ling Lan sitting behind a desk. She had bandages all over her and was flipping through a book.

“Boss, you are fine?” Luo Lang shouted in surprise.

Li Lanfeng tried to appear calm but his eyes betrayed his emotions.

“I’m much better. I’m sorry to make you worry,” Ling Lan said apologetically. To prevent other people from suspecting, she lied to her friends too.

“No, this is good. If not, we won’t be able to act so sincerely.” Li Lanfeng agreed with Ling Lan’s decision. The more people knew about this, the greater the chance of a loophole appearing in their acting. It was better to have fewer people with knowledge of this.

Luo Lang was confused. ‘What are they talking about?’

“Have a seat.” Ling Xiao smiled when he saw the difference in expression between the two people whom his daughter trusted. Li Lanfeng was a sensitive person while Luo Lang was a straightforward person unexpectedly. It didn’t seem to suit his looks.

Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang sat on the two chairs at the side. They didn’t expect Ling Xiao to sit down on the seat next to them. They thought that their Boss would give up his seat to General Ling Xiao.

“Father, what’s the situation in the military? Don’t try to fool me. I’ve asked Ling Yu and Grandfather Ling Qin.” Ling Lan stared at her father with cold eyes.

Ling Xiao held his forehead in his heads. ‘When did the ident.i.ty of me and my daughter changed? Is this how my daughter should be speaking to me?’

Li Lanfeng’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect Ling Lan to appear so oppressive in front of General Ling Xiao too. ‘When will I be able to be like him?”

As for Luo Lang, he just stared at Ling Lan with admiration in his beautiful eyes. ‘Ah! My boss is so handsome!’
