Novel Bin Chapter 1387 - Want To Do.
1387 Want To Do.
Ling Lan laid lazily on her soft couch. She felt like she received a new life.
At the side, there were no leftovers on the plates. A pair of slender and beautiful hands were tidying the table carefully.
“I didn’t expect your cooking skills to be so good.” Ling Lan was in a good mood. Her eyes were curved upwards like the beautiful crescent moon.
This scene was entirely different from Ling Lan’s usual cold and proper image. Somehow, it was still mesmerizing.
At the rare sight, Li Lanfeng’s hands trembled slightly. The plates he was holding almost slid off his trembling hands. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. He exerted force on his fingers, managing to nip the plate between his fingers. Luckily, he didn’t embarrass himself in front of Ling Lan.
“In the past, I lived alone so if I want to eat something, I have to figure it out myself,” Li Lanfeng replied calmly. He wouldn’t tell Ling Lan that in order to win his heart over, he secretly learned many new techniques. Cooking skills was ranked the number one technique you had to know when chasing someone, so he definitely learned it well.
This was the kind of person Li Lanfeng was. If he decided to do something, he would do it to perfection.
His hard work finally paid off. Li Lanfeng waited for a long time to show off his cooking skills, and the chance came.
When he knew that Ling Lan was figuring out how to cook in the kitchen, Li Lanfeng prepared an elaborate breakfast for him. However, he didn’t send the food over directly, instead he waited until Ling Lan almost exploded in anger because of her hunger. Then, he would swoop in like an angel descending from heaven, gracing Ling Lan with food that could save her life.
As expected, Ling Lan was extremely touched.
Li Lanfeng was indeed very scheming. He loved Ling Lan crazily but when he should be composed, he remained calm and calculated how he could get the most out of this serving of breakfast.
“You’re really impressive. I tried to learn how to cook many times but I kept failing...” Ling Lan looked at Li Lanfeng in admiration. She had already realised that her talent in cooking was close to nil. She reckoned she inherited this gene from her mother. Luckily, her father’s cooking skills were amazing.
“You don’t have to worry about such small matters. It’s a waste of your effort. “Li Lanfeng smiled. “In the future, I can be in charge of your breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”
“That’d be great. Thank you as always, Lanfeng.” Ling Lan smiled in satisfaction. This would really solve her greatest difficulty. These past few days, she was really very hungry... Mind you, she had a huge appetite ever since she was young. If you stopped her from eating, she would really turn berserk.
She didn’t know how Luo Chao and Han Xuya came up with the idea to train the maids. Ling Lan couldn’t help but recalled what happened a few days ago.
“Boss.” Luo Chao and Han Xuya rushed into her study room excitedly.
“What the matter?” Ling Lan put down the things she was doing and asked them with her raised head.
“We thought of what to do,” Han Xuya shouted happily.
For the past three months, they could only stay in Ling Lan’s room. If they wanted to go out, they had to make ample preparations. Ling Lan had to send a few powerful guardians to protect them or send Zhao Jun or Luo Lang to do it.
There were just too many dangers in the Lawless Lands. No one knew what would happen if they went out. Plus, Ling Lan was still reorganising the various factions in Lord Gen’s territory. Where there was suppression, there would be resistance. At places where they couldn’t see with their eyes, the battles never stopped. Ling Lan had to be careful.
One or two days were easy to bear but once they stayed here longer, Han Xuya and Luo Chao got bored. Of course, they were people who were able to restrain themselves. They knew they shouldn’t create trouble for Boss at this time so they didn’t say anything to her.
However, Ling Lan was always concerned about her two younger sisters so she soon realised their boredom. Thus, she asked them to look for meaningful things to do in the rainbow palace.
Her younger sisters were very obedient. They decided on the spot that they should go back and think about this carefully.
They thought deeply for more than ten days. They took so long that Ling Lan wanted to give them things to do. But, the two of them finally found an answer.
Ling Lan allowed them to think of a fun activity to do because she wanted to train them. She wanted them to learn how to quickly find their position in a new environment. This was how Xie Yi was trained in the past.
“Fine, tell me what you have thought of. After all, you have thought for a really long time.” Ling Lan put down the documents in her hands and teased them.
Luo Chao glanced at Han Xuya. Han Xuya opened her mouth and said, “Boss, we have been studying the ranking system of the Lawless Lands. This is a place where strength determines your status. Powerful people will have a better life. In an organisation, they will be able to sit in high positions and enjoy more authority and benefit.”
“Just like the nations in the central region, ladies are at the bottom of the social status. Their lives are probably worse than the ladies living in the central nations. In the Lawless Lands, the lowest beings, the maids, are women. Women can be sold and killed whenever people want. They are treated like animals...” Luo Chao’s expression was sorrowful and furious. This place was a woman’s hell. Unless they met a good husband, no one would have a good ending.
The women that had better lives were the maids of the 13 Lords. No wonder the women in the Lawless Lands turned crazy in order to be placed on the waiting list when the 13 Lords choose their maids every year. Those parents who loved their daughter were willing to spend a huge sum of money to buy a waiting list position. Those without money would kill to get a position.
“But, in actual fact, the women in the Lawless Lands are not as weak as the people from the central regions. After Brother Shiyu’s experiments, we realised that the special climate and environment of the Lawless Lands caused a rise in people’s physical constitutions here. This doesn’t just apply to men. It applies to women too,” Luo Chao continued speaking.
“It looks like you really did your homework. You even bother our extremely busy military doctor.” Ling Lan smiled mysteriously at Luo Chao. Only she was able to ask Li Shiyu for a favour. If you asked who’s the person who doted on Luo Chao the most in Lingtian, it wasn’t her. It wasn’t Luo Chao’s blood-related brother, Luo Lang either. Instead, it was their military doctor, Li Shiyu. He had always loved her like his blood-related younger sister.
“I didn’t. Brother Shiyu was already analysing the special environment of the Lawless Lands. He knew that I needed it so he gave me the result of his research,” Luo Chao replied hurriedly. She just went to find Brother Shiyu and coincidentally, the thing he was researching on was what she needed.
“I’ll believe whatever you say then.” Ling Lan shrugged. What else could she do? This was her beloved younger sister. She couldn’t expose her, right?
“Boss,” Luo Chao and Han Xuya said simultaneously.
“Fine, fine, fine.” Ling Lan quickly raised her hands to surrender in front of the whining Luo Chao and Han Xuya. “Continue speaking.”
Her younger sisters’ whining skills were really powerful. Even though she was a woman, she couldn’t handle it. Ling Lan really felt worried about the men who liked her younger sisters.
