Chapter 1224 Definitely Smile More!
“I’m more experienced than you.” Revenge was revenge, but Ling Lan’s offer to help Li Lanfeng still held true. She pointed at the sofa in her office and said, “Sit. Let’s talk. It’s better than you thinking about it yourself.”
Ling Lan’s love guru-like demeanor awakened once again. Previously, Li Lanfeng’s questions about love were too sudden. She was just not prepared back then. In addition, Little Four found random weird books which made her speak about random stuff. It was probably because of that that Li Lanfeng was hurt from his pursuit of love. All in all, it was her fault. Ling Lan decided that this time, she must carefully help Li Lanfeng make a plan for him to catch the attention of the love of his life. She must pave Li Lanfeng’s path towards a happy marriage. After all, she didn’t want to see her amazing strategist become completely destroyed just because he failed in his pursuit of love.
In reality, Li Lanfeng was the last person she would think to get hurt by love. Moreover, with his intelligence, he should have easily nabbed anyone he liked. As expected, in the world of love, intelligence was not effective.
Ling Lan felt a bit of schadenfreude. She didn’t forget that Li Lanfeng had teased her about her inexperience in such matters. Women loved to hold grudges. Even if Ling Lan reined it in most of the time, she still showed a hint of female instinct on these types of things.
Ling Lan’s words made Li Lanfeng stand up helplessly. However, rather than listening to Ling Lan and walking to the sofa she pointed towards. He instead dragged a chair to the side of Ling Lan, sat beside Ling Lan and leaned towards the armrest of her chair.
While he was doing so, Ling Lan just discovered that Li Lanfeng had already unbuttoned the top button of his uniform for comfort. It was possible that she was mesmerized by that face of his so she didn’t see his exposed skin. Li Lanfeng’s current movement allowed his sexy collarbones to show from the slight opening of his white dress shirt. When combined with his beautiful face, it magnified the seductiveness he was oozing. Just seeing the supple flesh caused Ling Lan to have the urge to just rip open the shirt…
‘Calm down. Get back on topic!’
Ling Lan closed her eyes and erased the sudden impulse she just had. When she opened them again, she returned to her calm self.
“It seems you’re pretty bored recently. Maybe that is why you have so much time to worry about your feelings.” Ling Lan mercilessly mocked Li Lanfeng with her words.
‘Man, you can worry about love and stuff, but you sitting there all demure-like in front of me is like calling me to do something to you. You’re really testing my limits here. I want to push you down and gobble you up…’
When Ling Lan realized what kind of thoughts were going through her head, she suspected that maybe her Yin and Yang were not in balance. It was probably why it was so hard for her to control her lust. Was it going to flood out?
While Ling Lan was doubting her life choices, Li Lanfeng pouted after hearing Ling Lan’s words. He said in a slightly saddened tone, “I’m always worrying about it, it’s just that you never paid attention to it.”
‘He is just like a masochist who couldn’t get any love from his dominatrix… Stop!’ Ling Lan felt her thoughts were going haywire today. Why did she keep thinking strange things? Dominatrix? Masochist? What were those things… She really didn’t know…
“There’s been a lot of matters recently. I probably missed it from being so busy.” Ling Lan tossed away the random thought in her head. Li Lanfeng’s words probably meant he was blaming her for not being a good enough friend.
“You’re not busy, but rather you’re so dense that it makes me want to bite my tongue off,” Li Lanfeng mumbled under his breath. Faced with this log of a person, all of the looks he gave her every once in a while was wasted effort.
Ling Lan could only hear the word ‘dense’ and knew Li Lanfeng was blaming her for not understanding him. After thinking about it, she realized that she didn’t care about Li Lanfeng enough. She was also very uncaring of her other subordinates… It was odd. Ling Lan actually felt bad.
Alright, since she had time today, she was going to comfort Li Lanfeng and prove that she was actually a good friend.
“How about this? I have some time today. How about we think about ways to help you get past that difficult point in your pursuit for love?” Ling Lan was a bit excited about being the facilitator of love. She didn’t have any friend in her past life. In this life, Li Lanfeng became her only friend that wasn’t deathly afraid of her.
Thinking about Qi Long and the others, Ling Lan felt a bit miserable. Although she led them from when they were young, they still felt like they were her sons. However, it was also because Qi Long and the others admired her too much. They would always bow before her and respond to her every whim. If she was to tell them they were her friends, Qi Long and the others might be afraid that they might have done something wrong that their Boss was using words to insult and whip them…
It was good that this fearless Li Lanfeng was willing to become her friend. The accidental meeting in the virtual world back then saved her from the possibility of not having any friends.
She could finally experience the joy of gossiping with friends about their relationships and other embarrassing things. When she was bedridden and reading novels in her previous life, Ling Lan really wanted to feel what it would be like to have friends.
“That person doesn’t like me.” Li Lanfeng looked at Ling Lan with a bewitching look. He looked somewhat hurt and his wronged expression was just like Little White when it wanted to be comforted. Ling Lan suddenly had the urge to pat him on the head to comfort him.
“You confessed? And got rejected?” If that was the case, then she wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. Was she going to have to order that person to accept Li Lanfeng’s heart?
Li Lanfeng shook his head, “No, I didn’t do that. However, I listened to your advice and tried to flirt in different ways… I’ve already done everything that I can to show my feelings, but that person still has no response to my advancements.”
“Is that person pretending to not understand or do they not understand the intent behind your actions?” Ling Lan felt that the distinction between the two was important. If that person pretended to not understand, then it actually meant that person rejected him. Li Lanfeng would not have any chance in that case. If that person was dense, Li Lanfeng still had hope.
After hearing the question, Li Lanfeng sat up and leaned towards Ling Lan. He smiled earnestly and said, “That’s something I want to know as well.”
“I suggest you smile more to the person you like what you are doing right now. The person you liked won’t be able to reject you.”
‘It’s only because I have good self control and held back my urges from pushing you down that you are able to sit there meekly. I trust that other women wouldn’t be able to control themselves like me.’ Ling Lan really felt that Li Lanfeng’s earnest smile was too strong. Even she was hanging on by a thread, not to mention other women.
Of course, if that person didn’t like him or might even be disgusted by Li Lanfeng’s looks, then it would be a different story. The only thing Ling Lan could do was to light a candle and pray for Li Lanfeng.
“It really works?” Li Lanfeng’s eyes were filled with happiness as they lit up brightly. When Ling Lan saw the excited eyes, she could soften her gaze and nod instinctively.
“Alright, I will definitely smile more in the future,” Li Lanfeng had a big smile on his face as he said that. His entire face was so bright with that smile that it made Ling Lan unable to keep her eyes off of him in that instant.
