Chapter 1409 - Misunderstanding?
1409 Misunderstanding?
Luo Chao came bright and early in the morning with a piece of good news from the frontline. She casually entered Ling Lan’s room without wondering whether she was there or not.
“Boss!” Luo Chao had always entered Ling Lan’s room freely so she just went in without knocking.
There was a thin layer of shaw covering the huge bed, and she saw a figure of someone lying on the bed.
Luo Chao didn’t notice anything strange so she casually lifted the shaw with a bright smile on her face, but her smile cracked when she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face under the thin blanket Boss always used. She stood there stunned for a couple of seconds, because the person on the bed was someone that should have zero chance being here
“Li Yinfei?” Luo Chao exclaimed in surprise.
Her voice startled the sleeping beauty on the bed. The eyelids of the said beauty trembled. The brows of the beauty furrowed, clearing attempting to not wake up from the beautiful dream he was having. However, that was not possible as he slowly opened his eyes to see Luo Chao looking at him with astonishment. He smiled cheekily.
However, no matter how beautiful or enchanting the face was, it couldn’t dissipate the suspicion and astonishment Luo Chao was feeling. Luo Chao shouted furiously, “Who are you? Why are you on Boss’s bed?”
If Boss was a real man, she might suspect that Boss decided to snatch Li Yinfei over to be his wife due to her beauty. But, her boss was clearly a lady. How could she fall in love with another lady?
Well, unless Boss was confused about her gender because she pretended to be a man for too long. But, as someone who had always been with Ling Lan, Luo Chao felt that there wasn’t any possibility of this happening.
Hence, this person shouldn’t be Li Yinfei. She shouldn’t be sleeping so blatantly on Boss’s bed too.
“Ah, it’s you, Luo Chao.” The beauty’s voice was surprisingly low. It sounded very familiar to her too.
The cogs in Luo Chao’s mind turned as she remembered who this voice belonged to. “Regiment Commander Li?”
“Ah…” The beauty seemed to have remembered something. He touched his face lightly, realising that his mask wasn’t on his face, he immediately gave an apologetic smile. “I forgot to wear my mask. I’m sorry, Luo Chao. I didn’t mean to lie to all of you.”
“Ah… What on earth happened?” Luo Chao couldn’t care less whether Li Lanfeng lied to them or not. She could usually stay calm regardless of the situation, but the impact of the scene in front of her was too great. “Regiment Commander Li, why are you on Boss’s bed? Did you sleep with him yesterday?”
Boss slept with a man and this man was still an ethereal beauty. Most importantly, Boss was a woman… Luo Chao’s mind was filled with these thoughts. She felt that her world was collapsing. She almost turned crazy.
“Boss allowed me to stay yesterday night.” Li Lanfeng couldn’t help but smile when he heard the question. His smile was full of emotions. There seemed to be many meanings hidden in it. There were hints of happiness and even embarrassment. Luo Chao almost got blinded by the smile.
“You… you…” Li Lanfeng’s smile impacted Luo Chao greatly. She didn’t know what to do for some time.
Li Lanfeng smiled and asked calmly, “Oh right, Luo Chao, what are you doing here?”
Li Lanfeng proclaimed his position as the owner of this place when he said this. He really liked to stimulate his ‘love rival’ at any time.
Luo Chao’s face turned red to green. She moved her lips but she didn’t know what to say or ask. In the end, she felt tired and just said, “Where is Boss? I have something important to report to him.”
Li Lanfeng slowly sat up when he heard the question. The blanket slid down his body slowly, revealing his fair and glowing chest. He wasn’t wearing clothes. Li Lanfeng lifted his hand to his chest to prevent him from getting exposed. He said with regret, “I’m sorry. I was really tired yesterday so I don’t know when Boss left.”
Tired? What could make him so tired? Ah, Li Lanfeng wasn’t wearing any clothes… What happened yesterday night? Was Boss unable to resist the beauty so she laid her hands on Regiment Commander Li?
Li Lanfeng told herself that she mustn’t overreact before confirming with Boss, but the scene Li Lanfeng showed her and his words steered her to think in that direction.
“Erm, I will look for him myself!” When Luo Chao left, she stumbled a little. Her expression revealed how shocked she was.
After seeing Luo Chao running away in a flurry, the corners of Li Lanfeng’s lips lifted up. There was a hint of coldness in it.
Since he acted, he never thought of giving Luo Chao and Han Xuya a chance to stay beside Ling Lan.
Luo Chao rushed out of the bedroom. The cold wind outside allowed her to regain her senses a little. She finally had the ability to think of where Ling Lan could be.
Ling Lan had the habit of practicing in the morning. Most of the time, she would be at the highest point of the rainbow palace, the Purple Cloud Platform.
Thinking about this, Luo Chao hurriedly went to look for Ling Lan. Indeed, she saw Ling Lan there. Ling Lan in a red gown, looking at the clouds floating in front of her with her hands behind her back. She was getting inspiration from these movements, seeking for her next opportunity for a breakthrough.
She felt movements behind her so she turned and saw Luo Chao. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in surprise, “Luo Chao, why are you looking for me?”
“Erm…” Luo Chao wanted to ask Ling Lan directly about Li Lanfeng but when she saw Ling Lan’s indifferent expression, she couldn’t say it. She held her breath. In the end, she just talked about business matters. “Just now, the frontline sent back a report. They had a minor victory against an ace mecha clan. They won against their domain realm masters too. As for the Kamoda battlefield, they suffered two losses and obtained four wins. Regarding the two battles that they lost, it was reported that the two enemy teams that won made no contact with their base thereafter.”
Luo Chao smiled when she said this. “I think that Regiment Commander Zhao must have found a chance to attack them.”
“That’s right. It looks like Zhao Jun understood what his tactic should be. This is very good.” Ling Lan turned and continued observing the changes in the sky.
“Erm, erm… Just now, I saw Regiment Commander Li in your bedroom.” Luo Chao hesitated for a while before finally asking about Li Lanfeng.
“He’s not up yet?” Ling Lan frowned. Li Lanfeng was getting lazier.
Boom! Luo Chao felt as if a hammer was knocked on her head heavily. So, Regiment Commander Li was saying the truth. Boss really slept with him.
“Boss, you and Regiment Commander Li… is it alright for you to do this?” Luo Chao tried her best to squeeze this sentence out. She never expected that Boss would be tainted by someone… Luo Chao’s mind was in a mess. This came too suddenly for her to process. She couldn’t maintain her composure.
“What’s wrong with it?” Ling Lan was confused. All she did was lend half of her bed to Li Lanfeng for him to sleep on. What was wrong with that?” At this moment, Ling Lan hadn’t remembered that she was a lady and that she wasn’t on the battlefield. There was no life-or-death situation forcing her to do this so she couldn’t understand why Luo Chao was dumbstruck.
Did she confirm it? Did Boss admit it? Luo Chao was in a daze. She couldn’t even remember how she bid farewell to Ling Lan and left the Purple Cloud Platform.
Ling Lan stayed on the Purple Cloud Platform and stared at the clouds for a long time. Suddenly, she exclaimed loudly.
“Did Luo Chao misunderstand just now?” Ling Lan just remembered that Luo Chao knew she was a woman.
