Chapter 201: I Was Wrong, Is That Not Enough?

Lin Lan’s apology made Luo Ziling unable to suppress his smugness, but he still ignored her and continued walking forward.

The sound of boots on the ground followed, and soon Lin Lan’s cool figure appeared in front of Luo Ziling.

“Come with me,” Lin Lan spread her arms, blocking Luo Ziling’s path.

Luo Ziling, actually wanting to laugh inside, still ignored Lin Lan and said roughly, “Move aside, don’t block my way.”

As he spoke, he continued to move forward.

He thought Lin Lan would definitely make way for him to pass.

But to his surprise, Lin Lan didn’t move aside and continued to block his way with her arms spread.

Luo Ziling couldn’t stop in time and bumped into Lin Lan’s embrace.

Lin Lan also didn’t expect this outcome, and her body, having been struck, immediately responded with a strike towards Luo Ziling.

But Luo Ziling’s reaction was quicker than hers, easily dodging her attack, and his subsequent two attacks were also neutralized by him.

Before Lin Lan could launch a fourth strike, Luo Ziling, with a move she had never anticipated, grabbed her thrown punch, and with a pull, he hugged her into his arms, completely subduing her.

Actually, Lin Lan’s fighting ability was quite good, but today she hadn’t gone all out, and since they were so close, some moves couldn’t be executed, which is why she was subdued by Luo Ziling after just a few moves.

After pulling her into his embrace, Luo Ziling restrained her with his arms and legs, and one hand seized her neck.

“You’re no match for me,” Luo Ziling said irritably after subduing Lin Lan, “How could you be so ungrateful after all I’ve done for you? Isn’t that going too far?”

“Let me go,” Lin Lan struggled a few times before giving up, her voice cold as she said, “Do you believe I would kill you?”

No one had ever treated her this way before, nor had she ever been dominated like this, making her somewhat frantic and angry.

Moreover, she felt that Luo Ziling was deliberately bullying her, taking advantage of her even after she had admitted her mistake, feeling very mistreated.

“You don’t have the ability to kill me,” Luo Ziling turned Lin Lan’s face to face him.

This location was close to the Dragon Rise base and quite secluded, except for their one car and two people, there were no other living creatures.

So they caused a commotion for a while, and no one noticed. With no one appearing around them, Luo Ziling also lost his concerns. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With her arms, legs, and neck restrained by Luo Ziling, Lin Lan completely lost the ability to attack. After Luo Ziling turned her head, she had to look him directly in the eyes. The distance between their four eyes was just a few centimeters, and Luo Ziling could clearly see the distribution of Lin Lan’s eyebrows and eyelashes, as well as the faint freckles beside her nose.

Lin Lan didn’t look away, stubbornly staring at Luo Ziling, and her attractive lips puckered slightly.

She really felt very aggrieved, an emotion she had never experienced before.

Luo Ziling felt awkward, having the feeling like being stuck on the back of a tiger with no easy way down.

In the end, he let go of her arms and legs and escaped to the side.

Lin Lan didn’t retaliate with anger but simply tidied up her slightly disheveled hair and unceremoniously ordered, “Get in the car!”

With that, she hopped into the driver’s seat.

Luo Ziling did not obey her command to get in the car but stood still instead.

Lin Lan didn’t urge him further but rolled down the window and looked at Luo Ziling with cold eyes.

“I told you, I’m not going if you look like that,” Luo Ziling said, plopping down on a stone nearby, “Greet me with a smile, then, young master, I will go.”

His stubbornness swelled within him, and his nature of yielding only to gentleness, not force, made it impossible for him to back down in front of Lin Lan’s cold demeanor.

So Lin Lan, feeling incredibly wronged, became even more angry, her hand reaching for the gun at her waist.

But Luo Ziling’s eyes were fixed on the distance, utterly ignoring her.

The two thus stood in confrontation for about ten minutes, until finally, it was Lin Lan who softened.

She jumped down from the vehicle again, walked up to Luo Ziling, and sat down beside him.

“Am I wrong, is that not enough?” Lin Lan said softly without looking at him.

For the first time in many years, she spoke to a man with such a tone.

“Smile for me,” Luo Ziling turned his head to look at Lin Lan.

Actually, he didn’t even know why he was being so petty with Lin Lan.

But seeing her treating him with that cold expression just made him feel very uncomfortable.

Lin Lan glared at him, her face still as icy as ever.

“If you won’t smile, forget it,” said Luo Ziling as he stood up from the rock, ready to leave again.

Before he could take a step, Lin Lan grabbed him.

When Luo Ziling turned his head, he saw Lin Lan’s poker face come to life, though she forced a smile, it was a victory for Luo Ziling, won by indulging her stubbornness.

“Right, you should smile more, it makes you look so much prettier,” Luo Ziling said as he patted Lin Lan’s cheek and gave her a brilliant smile.

Lin Lan had not expected Luo Ziling to touch her face, and was caught off guard, unable to react in time.

Luo Ziling’s subsequent radiant smile left her feeling a bit dizzy, and she was touched squarely. Somehow, when faced with Luo Ziling’s beaming smile, Lin Lan rarely showed a coy, girlish demeanor.

Such a lively expression was so rare for Lin Lan that Luo Ziling was momentarily stunned when he saw it.

But by then Lin Lan had regained her composure and delivered a side kick towards Luo Ziling, her radiant face filled with annoyance. “Jerk, that’s for bullying me.”

Luo Ziling was quick to react, blocking her side kick before it could land on him.

Lin Lan hadn’t put her full strength into the kick, and Luo Ziling easily deflected it.

After blocking Lin Lan’s kick, Luo Ziling took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her thigh.

“If I remember correctly, this is the leg that was injured last time. I healed it for you, and you use it to kick me, isn’t that a bit much?” Luo Ziling joked with a smile, “Had I known during the treatment, I would have done something to make sure you couldn’t kick anyone again.”

Upon hearing Luo Ziling say that, Lin Lan, who had been thinking of struggling, trembled inexplicably, and a blush crept over her cheeks.

“Aren’t you going to let go of me?” she roared at Luo Ziling, furious and embarrassed. “Believe it or not, I will kill you.”

“You can’t kill me.”

“I can’t beat you, but I can still kill you.”

“Alright, no more playing. I’m just saying, you look cuter when you’re angry than when you’re usually cold,” Luo Ziling let go of Lin Lan’s leg and moved to sit back in the vehicle on his own.

Lin Lan also strode back to the vehicle and, upon closing the door, slammed it shut as if venting her inner irritation. When she buckled her seatbelt, she gave Luo Ziling a fierce glare.
