Chapter 1070 - 1070 1070 Unexpectedly She Has Such Deep

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: Unexpectedly, She Has Such Deep Affection for You Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: Unexpectedly, She Has Such Deep Affection for You Luo Ziling originally also planned to stay in Shanya for a few days.

But plans changed as Lin Lan was leaving, so he decided to return to Yanjing in the afternoon. The room that Lin Lan had helped him book was no longer of any use.

Last night, he slept at Lin Lan’s place, and today he was leaving— he never actually stayed in that room.

Luo Ziling was a straightforward person. He didn’t like to keep things bottled up inside, so he directly asked Lin Lan why she was acting this way today.

But Lin Lan didn’t give much of an explanation, only saying indifferently that she had some important matters to take care of, and the nature of the matters were confidential, advising Luo Ziling not to ask.

This made Luo Ziling even angrier, and he didn’t inquire further.

While treating Li Haiyang, he straightforwardly brought up his plan to say goodbye and head back to the Capital today.

Li Haiyang didn’t say much, but he looked meaningfully towards Lin Lan who was standing quietly to the side.

Lin Lan’s expression showed no particular change, just standing there quietly.

“In a few days, we’ll also go back to Yanjing. The New Year has more flavor in the Capital. This New Year, I want to go around and let everyone see that I can walk again, that I’m not a useless person,” Li Haiyang laughed heartily and instructed Luo Ziling, “When I return to Yanjing, you must come to see me. Then, I’ll treat you to a drink. The two of us can have a good drink; we’ve never drunk together before!”

“Senior, your health doesn’t allow you to drink too much,” Luo Ziling kindly advised. “It’s best to wait until you’ve fully recovered!”

Li Haiyang shook his head: “It’s okay, I won’t drink much. You can supervise me then.”

“Let’s talk about it when the time comes!”

“Then, I’ll introduce you to a few people who are not of very high status, but who can surely be of help to you in the future.”

“I’ll thank you in advance then, Senior!” Luo Ziling didn’t refuse any further.

After a simple lunch at the sanatorium, Luo Ziling got ready to head to the airport.

The trip was different from what he had anticipated and with such swings in his emotions, Luo Ziling felt pretty uncomfortable.

So much so that when Lin Lan offered to take him to the airport, he flatly refused.

But Lin Lan ignored his refusal. As he was pulling his luggage and getting ready to leave, she parked her car beside him.

Forcing Luo Ziling into the car, she then floored the accelerator towards the airport.

“What do you mean by this?” Luo Ziling asked irritably, “What was the reason for your actions last night?”

“Fulfilling a promise!” Lin Lan replied in a stiff tone.

“I don’t need this kind of repayment from you!”

“But it’s what I want to do!” Lin Lan kept her eyes on the road ahead, driving the car at a high speed.

For the following period, the two of them didn’t communicate much, all the way to the airport.

“I can go in by myself,” Luo Ziling asked Lin Lan to stop the car at the entrance of the departure hall.

But Lin Lan didn’t heed him, driving into the parking lot instead and even took the initiative to carry Luo Ziling’s luggage for him.

Luo Ziling grabbed for it but couldn’t get it, so he had to give up.

Lin Lan still didn’t say anything, pulling Luo Ziling’s luggage and walking ahead.

Luo Ziling followed behind her, filled with frustration.

He soon noticed something unusual; Lin Lan walked differently than usual today.

Even though she still walked fast, her strides weren’t as wide as before, and her steps seemed a bit unnatural.

This small discovery made him feel even more puzzled.

After helping Luo Ziling with check-in procedures, Lin Lan prepared to leave.

“I’m leaving,” she said without much expression, her farewell void of emotion.

“Goodbye,” Luo Ziling replied impassively but didn’t immediately enter the security checkpoint.

Lin Lan didn’t leave either but stood silently watching Luo Ziling.

Ultimately, she took the initiative, stepping forward to hug Luo Ziling briefly without another word or gesture.

After releasing Luo Ziling, she turned and strode away.

This sudden move from Lin Lan stirred some emotion in Luo Ziling; he stood there, gazing blankly for a while before he sighed deeply.

“Comrade young master, feeling so reluctant to part!” Yang Xiaodong popped up from nowhere and teased with a playful look, “I didn’t expect this little girl to be so deeply affectionate towards you. I almost didn’t dare to come over and disturb your loving farewell.”

“Shut up,” Luo Ziling scolded impatiently, “No one would think you’re mute if you don’t speak.”

“Angry, huh?” Yang Xiaodong, undeterred, continued, “I thought you’d stay in Shanya for a few days, didn’t expect you to leave so soon. Ah, had I known this, I wouldn’t have left; rushing back and forth is killing me.”

Luo Ziling ignored Yang Xiaodong’s comment and didn’t even ask what he had been up to in the past two days; he focused on walking into the security checkpoint.

Yang Xiaodong felt a bit bored but didn’t ask anything further and obediently followed Luo Ziling into the security checkpoint.

After turning and walking away, Lin Lan didn’t leave immediately but instead went to a more secluded spot and stood silently.

Once she saw Luo Ziling enter the security checkpoint and disappear from view, she lowered her head and left.

Her enigmatic behavior roused the suspicion of the on-duty security staff, drawing their interrogation.

Two fully armed security officers approached her seriously, one man even pointing a * at her, demanding her to produce her identity documents.

Lin Lan wasn’t in a very good mood, not that it was extremely bad, just a bit stifled, a rather complex feeling.

She had thought that after what happened last night, there would be a change in their relationship.

Yet, to her surprise, her mindset didn’t shift positively.

After giving the most precious part of her life to Luo Ziling, she was gripped with the fear of loss, which felt extremely uncomfortable. She had thought she could take it easy, able to handle the matter casually, not expecting herself to be lacking in indifference. Thus, she reverted to her old self, concealing her inner emotions and presenting her cold exterior to others.

Of course, she had hoped for some response from Luo Ziling, some comfort from him.

But to her dismay, Luo Ziling, a novice in these matters, failed to grasp her feelings and even thought she was playing with him, which left him with a cold demeanor too. That compounded her frustration to the point where she felt terrible after their separation.

When the security officers came to question her, one appearing ready to draw his weapon, she became furious.

Without hesitation, she reached for one of the security officer’s * and aimed it back at them.

However, Lin Lan quickly realized she needed to reveal her identity immediately or things could escalate badly.

So, before the officers could react, she promptly pulled out her credentials from her pocket, displayed them, and commanded in a low voice, “I’m on a mission, don’t disturb me,” tossing the * back to them.

Once the officers saw Lin Lan’s credentials, they were stunned once more.

They promptly left, wisely not bothering Lin Lan anymore.

As they departed, the officer who had been disarmed said to his colleague, still shaken, “That scared me to death, I never expected to encounter such a crazy woman.”

“Good thing we didn’t act rashly, or it would’ve been more troublesome,” the other replied.

“Such a beautiful woman. Why didn’t we see female soldiers like her back when we were in the army?” one mused.

“Are you still thinking about that? Be careful she doesn’t report us to our superiors!” the other warned.

“I just hope we didn’t mess up her mission!”
