On this day, Leng Ling was handling matters in the office as usual.
Midsummer is coming, the sun is scorching outside the window, and the sunlight is shining into the room, making it extremely hot and muggy.
In the office, the fan on the ceiling slowly swayed its blades, bringing a slight breeze, but it did not dissipate the heat in the room at all.
Even Leng Ling, who was never afraid of the heat, put on a white shirt. He half-lifted his sleeves, exposing half of his fair arms, and concentrated on writing official documents while leaning against his desk.
The white shirt clings to his body. Due to the heat, the two buttons on the shirt are unbuttoned, and the smooth Adam's apple on his head and neck protrudes. It moves up and down slightly with his breathing, and two rows of delicate collarbones are also faintly visible under the collar.
Extremely Beautiful.
The squeaking sound of the fan's mechanical rotation was like a lullaby, making people just want to sleep, but Leng Ling's consciousness was extremely clear.
Staring at the contents of the document, Leng Ling's eyes gradually deepened, and fine beads of sweat oozed out from his forehead and the tip of his nose. But he was too focused on it and didn't even think about wiping it until a bead of sweat dripped onto the paper.
Go up, he just reacted.
This document was taken by Lance from Assistant. After Sharda died, Leng Ling shifted the target of the investigation back to Kaman. The document listed Kaman's whereabouts in these days.
Although he didn't see any flaws, Leng Ling always felt that something was wrong in connection with the things he had done in the past.
"Dong dong, Your Highness!"
Lance excitedly pushed open the door and entered.
There was unconcealable joy on the young face, and Lance's blue eyes were shining brightly, "Your Highness, you are back! You are back!!"
Faced with Lance's reckless appearance, Leng Ling said somewhat displeasedly, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Lean is back!"
"Varied……"
The black pupils were slightly locked, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
Looking at Leng Ling's slightly dazed expression, Lance raised his voice and said, "Mr. Lean is not dead, he is back!"
The next moment, a golden figure appeared at the door, and Leng Ling's mind went blank.
His golden eyes were smiling, his heroic eyebrows were unruly, and his tall and stalwart figure was as strong and generous as before.
Opening his lips slightly, the man's magnetic voice slowly spoke, "Ling, I'm back."
His handsome face showed surprise, looking at the man in front of him in disbelief. Leng Ling almost didn't know what to do or say.
The man whom he thought he would never see was actually standing in front of him alive.
My heart beat faster.
The clear eyes reflected the figure of the man. Leng Ling felt as if he was in a dream. The world at this moment was so beautiful.
Li En smiled, stepped forward, put his hands on the desk, leaned down slightly and looked at Leng Ling, his golden eyes filled with a touch of love.
Lance stood aside, feeling the inexplicable emotions rippling between the two, and he was even more certain about their relationship.
Although Lance was happy that Lean had returned safely, he didn't know what it was like when he saw the two of them looking at each other.
Mr. Lean is His Highness's knight. He is brave and fearless, loyal to His Highness, and puts his life and death at risk. Even though he is a Valencian, he always fulfills his duties and does what a knight should do.
On the other hand, for my own purposes, I followed the president's orders and came to His Highness to monitor his behavior. Even if I have changed my ways, how can I compare with Mr. Lean?
Perhaps, a son of a lowly status and traitor like himself has no qualifications to stand beside His Highness.
Curling the corners of his mouth sourly, Lance lowered his head and quietly retreated.
Staring quietly at the man in front of him, Leng Ling didn't say a word. He didn't know what to say to this man at this moment.
Surprise, happiness, lost and found, overwhelming Leng Ling.
However, after the moment of surprise passed, his handsome face gradually turned cold.
"Where have you been? Why didn't you come back until now? Why did you come back without my permission?"
The cold voice was questioning, and a few complex and indescribable emotions flashed through his deep eyes.
"Ling, something happened, so I came back late."
We haven’t seen each other for nearly a month, but she is still so beautiful.
His thin figure is wrapped under a loose shirt, his fair skin is looming, and his sexy collarbone is exposed at the neckline, which only he can see.
However, there was a little more sadness in his eyes, which made people lovable.
He stretched out his hand to touch the other person's face, but was avoided by Leng Ling.
"If you left for something, why didn't you even get a call??"
Staring at the other party silently, Lien was a little hurt by the other party's obvious avoidance. There was a hint of sourness on the corner of his thin lips, "Ling, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't be like this."
Eyelashes as thick as butterfly wings slowly lowered, and the pleasant voice gradually became infinitely low, "When I heard the news about your accident, do you know how uncomfortable I was? I thought I would never see you again, why do you appear here again now?
In front of me? Is teasing me so fun?"
Li En denied it flatly, "Ling, how could I tease you? It's just that time is too tight and I can't inform you. Aren't I in a hurry to get back now?"
Leng Ling's eyes, which were like a deep lake, darkened, expressionless, "Where have you been these days?"
"I..." Li En moved his lips, but couldn't answer, "There are some things that I can't tell you now. But please believe me, my heart for you will never change."
"Why can't you tell me? You said you wouldn't hide anything from me, why are you keeping silent now? Lean Hans, what are you trying to hide?"
Li En shook his head, "I don't want to hide it, but I can't tell you for a while. I said that I will always be loyal to you."
Leng Ling asked, "Why can't you tell me? Do you want me to send people to investigate you when you choose to hide it again and again? Just because of your concealment, you have gotten into so much unnecessary trouble. Could it be that up to now, you are still
Didn’t you learn your lesson?”
"Ling, I know you care about me, but I really have no way to tell you. Please be considerate of me."
Leng Ling sneered, "I don't understand you? Very good, Lieutenant Ryan Hans, you left your post without reason, went without permission, and concealed it. Do you have to deal with all these violations of military regulations?"
Do you handle it impartially?"
I thought that when I returned to him, there would be a warm moment of reunion, and the other person would confide in me. However, this time was so short.
Amid the other party's questions and accusations, Lien withdrew his hand and the expression on his face gradually became serious, "Since you insist on dealing with me, I have nothing to say. After all, it was me who violated military regulations first."
"Very good, since you said so, then I will enforce the law impartially," her pink lips opened slightly, "Lance."
Lance got the order and walked in, "Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
"Remove Lieutenant Lien's rank from the military, report to the military headquarters, and keep him on duty for inspection."
Lance was slightly startled, "What? Your Highness...how did you..."
Leng Ling raised her slender eyebrows, "Adjutant Lance, didn't you hear my order?"
"Your Highness, Mr. Lean finally came back. Weren't you and him on good terms just now? How could..."
Lance really couldn't figure out the situation in front of him. How could a good reunion turn into this? He looked at the two of them blankly, not knowing what was going on.
The handsome side face tightened into a cold straight line, and Lien said nonchalantly, "Adjutant Lance, since His Highness Leng Ling has given the order, then you should follow it."
"But..." Lance frowned, "Yes, Your Highness."
Leng Ling picked up the document and said, "I have to go to work now. You can go out."
Li En didn't say anything, his golden eyes flashed across Leng Ling's face aimlessly, he opened the door and left.
"Your Highness, please continue. If you need anything, please call me."
Lance bowed and followed Lean out.
The door of the office was gently opened, and Leng Ling put down the documents. A few traces of elusive emotions quietly passed through her deep, ink-like eyes.
Lean was walking in the corridor, heading outside the Presidential Palace, but was stopped by Lance, "Mr. Lean, wait a minute."
After a pause in his steps, Lean turned around and looked at Lance, "What's the matter?"
"What's going on between you and His Highness Leng Ling? You finally came back. Why did His Highness..."
Lean interrupted coldly, "This is a matter between him and me. Adjutant Lance, don't you think you are meddling too much?"
"But... you two have such a close relationship, why does His Highness Leng Ling's attitude towards you change completely?" Lance's eyes were full of doubts. He tilted his head and said, "This is too strange."
Glancing around with his golden eyes, Lien lowered his voice and said, "Adjutant Lance, there are many people here and it's not a good place to talk. Besides, it's better that you don't know some things. You just need to follow the orders."
That’s it.”
After finishing speaking, Lien ignored Lance and walked directly past him, "Protect him, this is your responsibility."
Lance stared blankly at Lean disappearing outside the presidential palace and murmured, "What the hell is going on..."
The sun was scorching the ground fiercely, and in the air, scorching heat mixed with bursts of hot wind blew towards our faces.
The tall figure was walking on the street, feeling the heat, but Lean's body was extremely cold from the inside out.
There was heavy traffic around him. The sounds of people talking and the chirping of cicadas continued to reach his ears, but Lien's thoughts gradually became blurred.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lean stopped at the door of a bar.
Looking at the bar in front of him, the corner of Li En's lips curled up with a hint of unruliness. Unexpectedly, he had gone round and round and ended up here again.
