Li Lanfeng quickly restrained his expression. The mocking smile changed into a warm and gentle smile. He walked into Ling Lan’s room with an innocent and harmless aura.

Ling Lan was busy with her work. When she noticed the door opening, she stopped what she was doing and looked up. “Lanfeng, you’re back.”

‘Yes,” Li Lanfeng smiled as he replied. He walked to Ling Lan’s desk and started arranging the files that were in a mess.

“How’s the situation?” Ling Lan decided that she wouldn’t do her work anymore. She leaned back against her chair and asked in a lazy tone.

“Nothing much.” Li Lanfeng’s hands paused slightly while he was tidying the files. He contemplated for two seconds before opening his mouth slowly, “Our youngster at home is all grown up now. He knows how to be lovesick now.”

“Lovesick?” Ling Lan was dumbfounded. She never expected to hear this answer from Li Lanfeng.

The Li Shiyu who put all his attention in inventing and testing new medication actually liked someone?

Ling Lan always thought that among her comrades in Lingtian, Li Shiyu would be the hardest person to get moved by someone. His entire mind was on his medical career… Plus, Li Shiyu treated this fox vixen in front of her as his idol. He treated his elder brother wholeheartedly.

Ling Lan sometimes felt that Li Lanfeng disappointed his younger brother. The amount Li Shiyu had put in for his elder brother and the affection he received weren’t proportionate.

“Who does he like?” Ling Lan was a little curious.

She suddenly realized that her comrades around her had grown up unknowingly. All of them were starting to get lovesick.

Li Lanfeng was lovesick and so was his younger brother. She wondered if Qi Long and the rest of her comrades were having this feeling too.

Ling Lan touched her chin. She felt that she needed to think about her comrades’ future carefully now.

Li Lanfeng glanced at Ling Lan and opened his mouth. He seemed to be having some difficulty with telling the truth. In the end, he didn’t say anything. He just gave a long sigh.

It had something to do with her? Ling Lan immediately understood what Li Lanfeng’s gaze meant.

There were only two ladies that had something to do with her. They were Luo Chao and Han Xuya…

Han Xuya was a straightforward and outright person. She liked Qi Long ever since she was young. Although Qi Long had rejected her and she had set her mind on becoming stronger with no intention of solving her marriage problem, Ling Lan still believed that she wouldn’t like someone else any time soon.

Plus, the interaction between Li Shiyu and Han Xuya was more friendly than affectionate. Han Xuya wasn’t as close to Li Shiyu as Luo Chao. Even if Ling Lan didn’t take too much notice of them, she knew that Li Shiyu was extremely serious when he was teaching Luo Chao medical knowledge.

Luo Chao was a part-time student but in fact, her medical skills wasn’t any weaker than those ordinary military doctors that graduated with a medical degree. She might even be more proficient than them. As someone who had a midlife career change, this proved how much effort Li Shiyu put in her.

After eliminating the impossible, the answer was obvious. Ling Lan raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, “Luo Chao?”

Li Lanfeng instantly gave a bitter smile when he heard this. “Nothing can be hidden from you. Don’t be angry. I’ve already reprimanded him. He should be more clear-minded now.” He sighed softly again.

“I’m not angry. I just didn’t expect Shiyu to like Luo Chao.” Ling Lan was unexpectedly calm. Li Lanfeng frowned secretly at her calmness. For a moment, he didn’t understand what Ling Lan was thinking.

How could Li Lanfeng know that Ling Lan was actually a lady? The two fiancées she had were just younger sisters to her.

In Ling Lan’s eyes, Luo Chao and Han Xuya were both outstanding and exceptional ladies. It was normal that someone liked them. If no one liked them, that would be weird. But, she just didn’t expect Li Shiyu to be the one that liked Luo Chao.

“Shiyu has always been immersed in his research so he didn’t have any chances of interacting with other ladies. As time went by, before he even realised it, he had already fallen for her.” Li Lanfeng ignored his confusion for the time being. Everything must go according to his plan. He gave a helpless expression and looked at Ling Lan apologetically. “Shiyu has always been naive. Don’t blame him. Also, this kind of thing…”

Li Lanfeng appeared to be in a dilemma. He said ambiguously, “Maybe Luo Chao gave some wrong signals to Shiyu so Shiyu misunderstood her.”

Ling Lan frowned slightly when she heard this. “You’re saying that Luo Chao…”

But Luo Chao never told her this. Ling Lan was puzzled.

“Maybe Shiyu was misled.” Li Lanfeng changed his words. “However, we can’t ignore this problem. I suggest that we must split them up appropriately to prevent a huge mistake.”

A huge mistake? Ling Lan furrowed her brows again.

Li Lanfeng lowered his head and contemplated it for some time. Then, he raised his head and said apologetically, “We are having a huge battle now. After this, there will be even more battles. We don’t have the time to be distracted. We should nip this problem from the bud as soon as possible. However, if we want to do that, Luo Chao will have to suffer a little.”

“What do you mean?” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows.

“Three days later, the Jialan Ship will finish unloading all its goods. After that, it will be going back to the Federation to source for the next batch of resources. Luo Chao can go back with the Jialan Ship at that time.” Li Lanfeng said calmly, “To prevent anything from happening, Han Xuya can accompany her too.”

Li Lanfeng decisively brought Han Xuya into the mess.

Ling Lan narrowed her eyes. A cold aura exuded from her body and she glared at Li Lanfeng coldly.

Li Lanfeng squinted too. But, on the surface, he still appeared calm and composed. He looked as if he was just giving a normal suggestion with no selfish motives.

“Li Lanfeng, you’re very selfish.” So what if Li Lanfeng appeared calm? Just like how he understood Ling Lan, Ling Lan knew him very well too. One look and she knew what he had up his sleeves.

Li Lanfeng pretended that he didn’t hear what she said. He continued looking at her indifferently.

“Li Shiyu is your brother so you want to protect him. I can understand that. However, Luo Chao and Han Xuya.. are my fiancées and younger sisters. I cared about them too.” Ling Lan gave a cold smile.

Li Lanfeng’s face twitched a little when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and forcefully suppressed this heart-throbbing pain.

“Now, you want to send my younger sisters away because of your little brother… Li Lanfeng, do you think I will agree? Especially when your younger brother is the one who made the mistake in the first place.” Ling Lan stood up. Now, she was like the parents of the ladies, furiously beating up the force of presence of the male’s family in an attempt to build a high status for her younger sisters.

This sudden movement caused Li Lanfeng to take a step back unconsciously.

“Shouldn’t your younger brother be punished instead?” Ling Lan placed one hand on the table and leaned towards Li Lanfeng. She stared at him intently.

They were very close to each other. Ling Lan’s calm breath blew up Li Lanfeng’s hair. Because of her movement, Li Lanfeng was squeezed between Ling Lan and her desk. He had the illusion that he was being engulfed by Ling Lan’s aura.

Li Lanfeng opened his mouth. He was still able to maintain the calmness on his face but his ears and the skin behind them had turned red.
