Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 572

The three of them suddenly became very nervous . They originally thought the invitation was from Boss and didn't think that it was actually the Boss's mother . They felt like they were meeting up with a final boss in a video game .

Second lieutenant He led them to the door and pushed down the communication b.u.t.ton, “Senior Colonel, the Majors has arrived . ”

“Let them in . ” The other side of the communicator had a soft and elegant voice . This voice made the three of them instantly felt at peace and their nervousness instantly disappeared . The three of them were amazed that the Boss's mother's voice was so nice to listen to . This was of course one of Lan Luofeng's strongest traits . Otherwise, how could she have charmed Ling Xiao with her voice?

Following her voice, the door slid to the side . Second lieutenant He pointed towards the manor to tell the three of them to follow her .

They arrived to a living room for guests . The first thing they saw was a circle of sofas . A beautiful woman was sitting on one of the sofas, holding a cup of tea in her hand . She saw them came in and smiled joyfully . The warm and joyful smile made the three of them blush and their minds blank .

“Sit . ” Lan Luofeng smiled as she put down her teacup and pointed to one of the sofas in front of her . She then ordered her adjutant, Second lieutenant He, “Little He, please pour some tea for them . What do you guys like to drink? Let her know if you have decided . ”

These three members of her daughter's battle team were all very capable . They managed to advance to the rank of major even though they were still so young, thus it meant that their futures would have limitless possibilities . Not only did they have potential, they all had their own specialities . The arrival of these youths made her very joyful .

Lan Luofeng seeking Li Lanfeng and the others out and asking them to meet her actually had a deeper meaning . Ling Lan had promised to find a chance to get out of the military after two years then would regain her femininity . Lan Luofeng began to think about her daughter's age as she saw that the problem she had been worried about for 20 years was coming to an end . She suddenly discovered that her daughter was not young anymore at the age of 21 . Thinking back, she had already married Ling Xiao when she was Ling Lan's age .

After suddenly realizing her daughter was quickly becoming a middle-age leftover woman (compared to Lan Luofeng's early relations.h.i.+p and marriage), Lan Luofeng was becoming a bit impatient . She began to plan to find a suitable son-in-law . In the 23rd Division, as long as there were young ranked officers who had clean family histories and were remarkable, they all were potential suitors she considered .

This decision would affect her daughter's happiness in the future, thus Lan Luofeng of course wouldn't just find any fish in the sea . She needed to hook the largest and fattest fish… Oh, no, the most remarkable young officer .

Thus, after hearing her daughter had thought about inviting three of her members who had already made their names known in the 23rd Division, Lan Luofeng actively took the reins and made it happen . This was also why she asked Little He to stand guard at the door . She had to see what these three exceptional youths were like with her own eyes and whether they were qualified or not for her daughter .

Lan Luofeng's warm greeting made the three of them nervous . They quickly saluted Lan Luofeng then carefully sat down . The three of them sat up straight in a way a soldier sits .

Lan Luofeng began to size them up after a good first impression of them . Information about them began to appear in her mind .

Firstly, it was the physically built Zhao Jun . His handsomeness and physique was approved by Lan Luofeng . “Zhao Jun, 24 years old, close combat ace mecha operator . His age is very fitting but aren't close combat mechas considered to be mechas that battle for their lives . That is too dangerous…” Lan Luofeng thought and silently gave Zhao Jun an X of disapproval in her mind .

Lan Luofeng was no longer interested in Zhao Jun and turned herself towards Li Lanfeng who was sitting in the middle . She saw his face and saw that he was bit scrawny . Lan Luofeng frowned a bit .

“Li Lanfeng, 24 years old, balanced ace mecha operator . This is safer, but the information about him said that he was born with a disability with his eyes . His physical const.i.tution isn't the best either and it is worse compared to normal soldiers… This won't work . My daughter can't marry to someone who's not healthy . If he died at a young age that would hurt my daughter's feelings . This is a no as well . ” Lan Luofeng didn't hesitate and eliminated Li Lanfeng out of the running as well .

Lan Luofeng knew that her daughter was going to inherit the Ling family in the future . She of course wouldn't marry her out of the family . If she found a son-in-law, she would find a son-in-law that would marry into their family instead .

Lan Luofeng moved her gaze towards Li s.h.i.+yu . He looked warm and charming with a pleasant aura . Additionally, the light smile plastered on his face gave Lan Luofeng a feeling that he was similar to Ling Xiao . She was even more excited about him . Lan Luofeng liked those who were similar to Ling Xiao . If she found someone who had a similar aura as Ling Xiao, she would of course have a better impression of this person…

“Li s.h.i.+yu, the 23rd division hospital's physician . This is safe and great . ” Li s.h.i.+yu's occupation once again gave him some additional points . Lan Luofeng was very satisfied with this occupation of his . Additionally, the research results Li s.h.i.+yu had achieved in the past three years in the division was enough to prove that he was exceptional .

Lan Luofeng thought for a second, “With genes as exceptional as these, their next generation wouldn't be too bad right…?” however, after she thought about how Ling Xiao's lineage was all strong mecha operators and needed to maintain the excellence of the next generation . The choice for the groom must be a very talented mecha operator .

After thinking about all this, Lan Luofeng's initial great mood had disappeared . The three in front of her were all not the best choice . When will she be able to find the son-in-law that she approves of…

Seeing Lan Luofeng looked at them with an odd expression on her face then showing a disappointed expression, Li Lanfeng and the others felt their hearts skip a beat uncontrollably . Could it be that the three of them didn't pa.s.s Lan Luofeng's test and believed that they weren't qualified to be the Boss's team members?

Cold sweat instantly formed on their backs, especially Li Lanfeng . The corner of his forehead was actually wet from cold sweat…

“Wuwuwu, Boss come save us . Senior Colonel Lan is so scary . ” Were they going to be banished by Senior Colonel Lan in the next second?

Right when the three of them were going to break down from Lan Luofeng's disappointed gaze, they heard a sound at the door . The door slowly opened and a familiar figure that they haven't seen in three years but still constantly remained in their minds had appeared .

The three of them stood up in unplanned unison and said with a pleasant surprise, “Boss!”

“What~!” Lan Luofeng had just drank her tea . After hearing the three of them call out to Ling Lan, she instantly spat out her tea .

“Senior Colonel, are you alright?” Second lieutenant He went over to her with panic on her face . She didn't forget to fetch a towel and pa.s.sed it over to Lan Luofeng in the process .

Lan Luofeng took the towel . While she cleaned herself, she looked at the three of them in confusion, “What did you guys say just now?”

Right when Zhao Jun was about to answer, Li Lanfeng stopped him and spoke first, “We said Captain! Senior Colonel!”

Li s.h.i.+yu's reaction was very fast as well and immediately replied, “Yes Senior Colonel, we said Captain . ”

Lan Luofeng turned around and looked towards Second lieutenant He . “They really did say captain just now?”

Second lieutenant involuntarily glanced at Ling Lan . She discovered that Ling Lan was looking at her with a sharp and cold look . It was clearly telling her to answer correctly .

Second lieutenant He was sobbing internally . She decisively replied, “Senior Colonel, the three majors did indeed say 'Captain' . ” “Sorry Senior Colonel . Young Master Lan's gaze is so cold and terrifying . I don't want to be turned into a block of ice by him,” thought Second lieutenant He .

Lan Luofeng held her forehead, “Could it be that I heard it wrong?” She thought about how she wasn't in a good mood just now and had a wandering mind . Maybe, perhaps that it was possible that she heard it wrong!

“Mom, since my friends are here, you should go do what you need to do . ” Seeing the three of them all have cold sweat running down their backs, Ling Lan knew that her mother gave them immense pressure although she didn't know where this pressure came from . She couldn't bear to see her friends endure such hards.h.i.+ps and decisively said something to help them out of the situation .

Lan Luofeng didn't approve three of them and was no longer interested in continuing speaking with them . Additionally, she also knew that it wasn't very convenient for parents to be present when children were talking among themselves . After hearing Ling Lan's words, she didn't resist, then stood up and said, “Alright Ling Lan, you got to take care of them . ” Afterwards, she led Second lieutenant He, waved her hands and exited the living room .

After the door closed, Li Lanfeng and the others who were respectfully watching Lan Luofeng leave instantly fell onto the sofa . Li Lanfeng also held his chest and began to take deep breaths .

Seeing this, Ling Lan quickly walked forward and asked sincerely, “Lanfeng, are you alright?”

Li Lanfeng immediately waved his hand and said, “I'm alright . I was just too nervous . Once I unwind, my reaction would be a bit large . ”

Ling Lan wasn't at ease . The problem with Li Lanfeng's heart was something that she had seen with her eyes before . She looked towards Li s.h.i.+yu and gave him a look to ask him to confirm the situation .

Li s.h.i.+yu held Li Lanfeng's wrist and closed his eyes to feel it . Then he opened his eyes and said, “There isn't a problem . Indeed, he was just too nervous . The sudden relaxation made his body react in this way . It's considered to be normal . ”

Hearing this, Ling Lan's forehead instantly scrunched up in worry, “The pressure my mom gave you guys was this huge?” In the beginning, she used to use her aura to train their spiritual endurance . They would then not be affected by any pressure . Could it be that her mother's smile was stronger than her cold gaze?

“Thus, there's the saying 'murderous intents hidden within a warm smile' . ” Little Four suddenly jumped out . If Ling Lan's mother looked at him with such a warm expression, he would also have processing errors and begin to lag… these murderous intents behind the warmth of a smile were too strong! It would also make people unable to refuse such warmth .

Faced with Little Four's sudden and odd intrusions, Ling Lan was calm . She had already become used to Little Four's randomness and was able to fully ignore him .

“It was because it seemed like Senior Colonel was dissatisfied with us,” Li Lanfeng smiled bitterly . “I was afraid that the Senior Colonel would say in the next second that with our capabilities, we would not be suitable to be in her son's battle team . ”

“Bam!” A flick of a finger hit Li Lanfeng's forehead and almost made Li Lanfeng fall off the sofa .

“You're thinking too much . ” Ling Lan said calmly . “My mom wouldn't meddle with things regarding my battle team . She would only…”

Ling Lan stopped speaking and showed an expression that she understood and then pouted . Her mother was doing some annoying things again . It seemed that Ling Lan needed to remind her father again and not make her mother feel lonely because of his duties in the division . This would make sure her mother to not have the time to think about these random things .

Knowing the reason, Ling Lan decisively stopped talking about this topic . She walked towards the tea room and calmly asked, “What do you guys want to drink?”
