Time flies by, and finally, midsummer has arrived.
The current Presidential Palace is as busy as ever, and everyone is preparing for one thing. Because in a few days, it will be the tenth anniversary of the death of the former president.
Lanson's former president, Leng Ling's father, is an enlightened and benevolent leader in the minds of all Lanson people. He loves his country and his people, and works hard for the country. And under his leadership
Under the watchful eye of powerful neighboring countries, Lanson gradually became stronger. From the original vulnerability, it became able to successfully resist foreign aggression. It also broke away from the shackles of the Valencian subordinate country and restored its independence and self-reliance.
However, only one battle ended in failure, and that was the Battle of Arsinore.
The defeat of Arsinore left an indelible trauma in the heart of Leng Ling's father. Because that was the hometown of the Leng family, but under his leadership, a battle turned it into a place of death, with heavy casualties.
The demise of the land has become an eternal pain for the Leng family.
Although Leng Ling had just been born at that time, he had also been influenced by his father since he was a child, and he was still brooding about that incident.
For so many years, no one mentioned that incident again. Everyone thought that the war was just because of the lack of strength of Lanson's army, but they never thought that it would be a conspiracy until Sharda appeared.
As one of the culprits in that incident, Sharda has been brought to justice, but the other person has always been at large. And that person suddenly became the new president of Lanson. He is Leng Ling's uncle, the former president's brother, Leng Xiao.
.
Although Leng Ling knew the truth of this matter, he did not have enough evidence in his hands. Even if he was loved and respected by the people, with his current status and power, he could not compete with Leng Xiao.
For the current plan, he could only choose to be patient and wait until he was able to confront Leng Xiao or had enough evidence to prove the serious crimes he had committed before he could tell his people about those things.
Just two days before the tenth anniversary, Leng Ling returned to the Leng family mansion in Luoshan.
This time, he came back alone, and Lien was arranged to go to Zuo Li's place.
The car was driving on the mountain road leading to Luoshan. The muddy road was very difficult to navigate.
It's not just something these days, it should be the unbearably hot midsummer, but for the first time it starts to rain lightly. The continuous rain lasts for several days, and the heat in the air is dissipated by the chill, leaving it with a bit of coldness and dampness.
Zarate has not experienced June like this for a long time.
Leng Ling leaned against the car window, looking at the gray sky outside, her eyes calm, and she didn't even notice that the light rain drifting in from outside had wet her hair.
In the drizzle, the scenery in front of me became clearer and clearer, and the ancient and luxurious mansion appeared in front of me.
The car stopped in front of the mansion, and he opened the door. His black leather boots avoided the pond and landed firmly on the wet ground.
"Your Highness, be careful not to get wet," Lance opened the car door and walked out. He stood behind Leng Ling with an umbrella, carefully covering him in the small space.
From the corner of his eye, Leng Ling said in a calm voice, "Go back first and come pick me up in three days."
His blue eyes showed a look of loss. Lance originally wanted to live with Leng Ling. He even brought a change of clothes before coming to Luoshan. He just wanted to be with this man, as long as he could protect him, let him
I am willing to do whatever I want.
But Leng Ling asked him to leave at this time, as if a basin of cold water was poured into Lance's heart.
But he also knew that even if he was unwilling in his heart, as Leng Ling's adjutant, he could only choose to obey. Silently lowering his eyes, Lance replied in a low voice, "Yes, Your Highness, then you take good care of yourself, and I will come to pick you up in three days."
"
"Well," Leng Ling raised his hand and locked the door. Seeing that the person behind him still showed no intention of leaving, he frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you leave?"
Lance held up an umbrella and said, "Your Highness, I'll wait until you get in before I leave."
Leng Ling pursed her lips and said nothing, but her beautiful eyes flashed thoughtfully.
After a moment of silence, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was Jerry, always wearing a black tuxedo and a bow tie. After seeing Leng Ling, this handsome man bowed down respectfully and humbly, and his deep voice revealed unconcealable joy, "Welcome back, Your Highness."
With a slight nod, Leng Ling walked in.
Following Leng Ling with his eyes, Jerry asked, "Your Highness, how are you doing lately?"
"I'm fine," Leng Ling walked in the living room. When he saw the almost unchanged furnishings in the room, his dark eyes flashed slightly, "Where are Xiaolin and Xiaolie?"
"Your Highness Lie is still in the military academy. I will bring him back tomorrow. Your Highness Lin should still be in the study. Your Highness, do you need me to call her?"
"No," Leng Ling took off his coat, which was slightly stained by rain, and handed it to Jerry, "I'll go by myself."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Black leather shoes slowly stepped onto the stairs leading to the study room on the second floor, and Leng Ling climbed up the stairs.
Pushing open the study door, that petite figure immediately came into view.
After Leng Ling walked in, the figure remained motionless.
Leng Ling originally thought that the other party was fascinated, so he didn't want to disturb her. He looked at the rows of numbers on the bookshelf and walked forward slowly.
In the wheelchair, the thin and petite man was dozing off while sitting at the desk.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, Leng Lin has grown up a lot. Her delicate little face has lost a bit of childishness and gained a bit of three-dimensional beauty.
Among the three children of the Leng family, Leng Ling and his younger sister inherited their mother's beautiful melon-seed face. Although Leng Ling, a man, is somewhat similar to his late mother, his features are more heroic and arrogant.
As a daughter, Leng Lin has inherited all the excellent qualities of her mother, both in appearance and personality. She is gentle and calm, yet strong and forbearing. Although her legs are gone, she has never complained about herself and has always been patient.
Face everyone with a smile.
At this moment, she was holding her chin with one hand and pressing a book with the other.
Outside the window, the rain pattered, and the cold wind mixed with the rain seeped in through the gap in the window that was not closed tightly, and hit the desk.
Leng Ling stepped forward and closed the window tightly. A slight noise woke Leng Lin from her sleep.
Her long eyelashes trembled, and Xiaolin let out a soft moan, "Well..."
Her beautiful eyes slowly opened. After seeing the person standing next to her, her elegant and refined face was immediately filled with a smile, "Brother, are you back?"
"Well, I'm back," Leng Ling stretched out his hand to caress his sister's head and said with emotion, "After a year of not seeing her, Xiaolin has become even more beautiful."
Facing Leng Ling's praise, Xiao Lin didn't care at all. She leaned into the other person's chest and said coquettishly like any ordinary girl, "Brother, I miss you so much. You are very rare among Kessel."
I got a call, and Xiaolie has been at the military academy all the time, and I feel so lonely."
Leng Ling lovingly hugged her sister's thin shoulders and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't talk to you on the phone often when Kessel was there. Now that I'm back, I won't make you feel lonely anymore.
"
Xiaolin nodded obediently. She snuggled tightly against Leng Ling, enjoying her brother's love. Her pleasant voice added a hint of begging, "Brother, can you promise me not to leave me again?"
The black pupils darkened a bit. Leng Ling pressed his chin against Xiaolin's head and stroked her soft hair without answering.
Seeing that Leng Ling didn't answer, Xiaolin realized that her request was a bit too much. She quickly changed her words and said, "Brother, I'm sorry. I know you are very busy at work, but I am too selfish."
Xiaolin said, her voice was choked and her eyes were red.
Leng Ling, who had not yet recovered from the silence, was slightly startled when he saw his sister's mood swings.
Since the death of her parents, she has devoted all her energy to the Leng family and Lansen, and has paid too little attention to her younger siblings. Xiaolin is not an unreasonable child, but now she said such words, only
It shows that I owe them too much. As their elder brother, I am really unqualified.
The hand holding the other person's shoulder tightened, and in Leng Ling's beautiful eyes, the deep remorse and guilt were undisguised, "Xiao Lin, your request is not selfish at all. It's my brother who neglects you and Xiao Lie too much. Brother
I'm sorry for you."
Xiaolin raised her head slightly and looked at Leng Ling with red eyes, "Brother, I just want you to spend more time with me. Can you agree to such a request?"
Leng Ling nodded and said, "I promise you."
"Great, my brother finally agreed to me."
A smile bloomed on her face as beautiful as a flower. Xiaolin stood up and took Leng Ling's hand and said, "Brother, I can dance now."
Leng Ling couldn't believe it, "Really?"
"It's true. If you don't believe it, just take a look."
Xiaolin smiled mischievously, and her unhappiness just now was gone. She left the wheelchair with ease and walked a few simple dance steps. Although her movements were slightly slow, her legs were in the same pace, and one of them could hardly be seen.
It's a prosthetic limb.
Looking at her sister dancing like a fairy, Leng Ling was surprised and happy, "Xiao Lin, you are so great."
Xiaolin smiled sweetly and said proudly, "Haha, let me do another more difficult move."
As she said that, Xiaolin made a leaping and crossing her legs.
Leng Ling is not good at dancing, but his mother likes dancing very much, and he has learned a lot about dance movements since he was a child.
When he saw Xiaolin doing this action, his expression changed quietly.
This action is already very difficult, and one of Xiaolin's legs is a prosthetic leg. If the action fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
At this moment, Leng Ling felt that his breathing was stagnant and his heart almost stopped beating.
When he saw two slender legs drawing two graceful arcs in the air and landing steadily, Leng Ling suddenly stepped forward and hugged the soft and light body.
