Tempest of the Stellar War

Chapter 491: Prospective Son-in-law?

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Several teenagers started to adjust their attire and adopted a carefully prepared action and posture. They had made up their mind to leave a good and deep impression for Lan Ling.

Sun Xin walked down the stairs and looked around. She seemed to be looking for someone and everyone was a little curious. As the personal assistant of Lan Ling, clearly she was not looking for someone but was looking for the person Lan Ling wished to find at this moment.

After looking around, she headed towards Wang Zheng.

“Wang Zheng, Miss is looking for you.”

Instantly, everyone was a little stunned. Wang Zheng was able to have a close conversation with the Wise Elders of the people of Tita. Considering the fact that Lan Jiang also had a good relationship with the people of Tita, Lan Jiang’s relationship with Wang Zheng wouldn’t be too bad and could explain his previous attitude. After all, their relationship was likely to have some nature of official business.

However, Sun Xin had represented Lan Ling to invite Wang Zheng to meet her upstairs just before the official start of the ball.

This was likely to be more of a personal nature. To say it clearer, Lan Ling was putting her reputation as a girl at stake!

Lan Jiang smiled and headed towards Wang Zheng.

Several people finally heaved a sigh of relief. After all, Lan Jiang wasn’t an old and confused old man.

“Brat, you better have prepared a gift. If you didn’t, I wouldn’t forgive you.”

Lan Jiang’s words surprised everyone as Old Man Lan did not attempt to stop this incident that could ruin Lan Ling’s reputation. He even encouraged it to happen. Gift? Oh my god! What was he saying? In the ears of those who had other intentions, those words were like hinting and asking Wang Zheng when he would propose a marriage. Did you bring along a proposal ring today?

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded his head. He took out a small gift box containing the crystal bracelet from his clothes and followed Sun Xin upstairs.

Wang Zheng smiled and asked the serious-looking Sun Xin,” How have you been you recently?”

“I have been great every day. However... it seems that you were pretty powerful and I had not expected it. However, you don’t deserve to be with Miss.”

Sun Xin was acting like a little cat protecting a herd of calf and this had made Wang Zheng not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Wang Zheng nodded his head while maintaining a smile. This had nothing to do with brute strength. Lan Ling was his friend and so was Sun Xin.

Sun Xin brought Wang Zheng into Lan Ling’s room. Clearly, it wasn’t her bedroom but was a resting and makeup room.

Hearing the door opening, Lan Ling smiled brightly and turned around.

Wang Zheng was taken aback slightly. How could he put it in word? It was the first time he felt that Lan Ling was pretty beautiful. He had not realise that due to Aina, he had a rather high immunity towards beautiful girls.

“You are really beautiful.”

Sun Xin took a look at Wang Zheng and gave him a threatening gaze out of her habit. Even she didn’t know why she was threatening him. Following which, she walked out of the room quietly. As she left, she closed the door.

“Thank you. Your words were a huge encouragement for me. I was so nervous that I didn’t dare to go out to meet the other people.” laughed Lan Ling as she patted her chest.

“Hehe. Just a small gift. Happy birthday.”

Wang Zheng passed the little gift box in his hands over.

Lan Ling’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, what is it? Can I open it now?”

“Of course you could do so.”

“It is really beautiful. Thank you. I really like it.” Lan Ling put on the crystal bracelet onto her wrist quickly. The valuable star diamond bracelet was thrown casually to the side by her.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose and said,” I feel that the star bracelet looked better.” Wang Zheng was feeling a little embarrassed.

“But this crystal bracelet would be more suitable for me.” laughed Lan Ling. There were deeper meaning in her words and Lan Ling’s gaze was full of danger.

Wang Zheng smiled. “I feel truly honoured. Oh right, I was here for another matter. I remembered you talking about creating a mech specifically for use on Tita Star. There is an opportunity now!”

“Oh, please elaborate.” When it comes to official work, Lan Ling was able to remain calm despite being busy at the moment.

“There is a collaborative mech project being developed by my side and it is entering the experimental phase soon. With only the strength from our side, it is not enough. If you are interested, perhaps we could enter an alliance.” said Wang Zheng.

Creating a mech specifically for use on TitaTitan Star wasn’t an easy task. Ye Zisu and Barry could both be considered to be geniuses. One of them was a design genius while the other had been researching on Tita Star for a long time. Although they had been able to work well since they got together, there were still 2 problems that they were unable to overcome it.

The Lan Family had been dabbling on matters in this aspect and had accumulated a large amount of valuable experience. What they were lacking was in depth technical support. Therefore, there was a basis for collaboration.

Lan Ling was slightly stunned. She had thought of many things that Wang Zheng might need her help on but had not expected it to be collaboration in mecha development.

“Please elaborate more first. Who is in your team?”

Lan Ling smiled. She could tell that the way Wang Zheng conversed with her was still within the boundaries of friends and wasn’t an official negotiation.

“The design aspect of the mech is mainly being conducted by OMG and King Company. A friend from my Section and I are also involved in it.

Wang Zheng sent an overview of the information to Lan Ling using his skylink.

Lan Ling browsed through the data. There was an introduction to the main members of the design team. Ye Zisu? She looked so beautiful in the photo and was the successor to OMG.

Lan Ling raised her head and looked at Wang Zheng. “Is this lady, Ye Zisu, the princess you told me about previously?”

Wang Zheng was stunned. He shook his head. The emphasis of a girl was truly not common. “She isn’t. She was my classmate and friend. She is also a member of my closest circle. Yan Xiaosu is also in it and I would definitely introduce him to you if there is an opportunity. Have you heard of the designer of the Wind God? ”

Lan Ling smiled brightly upon hearing the first segment but was surprised by the later segment. “Of course I have heard of it. If I’m not wrong, she is the hottest mecha designer currently. If that is the case, I would really want to meet her.”

“Hehe. I believe the two of you will get along VERY well.”

“Alright, after the banquet,, you can arrange for a meeting between us.” Lan Ling was in a very good mood.

“Oh yeah, I had asked you to be here because I need your help. Could you be my dance partner for tonight?”

“It would be my honour.” Wang Zheng smiled and accepted the request calmly.

“But...” Lan Ling squinted her eyes and blinked.

“But what?”

“You have to change into a proper formal attire first.”

Lan Ling pushed and walked Wang Zheng into a changing room. In the changing room, there were over 10 sets of suits for men. The style of the design was clearly of the same kind as the evening gown Lan Ling was wearing.

Wang Zheng changed into the suit with a forced file. He had originally thought that it would be a casual dance and had not thought more about it.

Lan Ling was scutinising Wang Zheng. She pouted and said,” You need to let me tidy up your hair. You can’t reject me.”

“Alright.” Wang Zheng had given up. The birthday girl was the most important here after all. The truth was that he had really wanted to ask why the suits were so fitting.

Lan Ling seemed to be playing with her dolls as she tidied up Wang Zheng’s hair with much effort. “Would it be okay if I cut it a little?”

“Whatever you wish.” said Wang Zheng with a forced smile.

“You said it. I had a dream when I was nine years old that I would be a hair stylist...”

Lan Ling was very happy. The truth was that her skills weren’t bad. After some time, Wang Zheng was stunned by his reflection in the mirror. Oh damn, who was this handsome brat?

“You are finally deserving of me!”

“Cough...”

“Don’t misunderstand. I was saying as my dance partner...” said Lan Ling as her face turned red. It seemed that the more she wanted to explain, the worse the situation got.

“I understood. Let’s go. Everyone has been waiting for a long time.”

When they left the door, Wang Zheng extended his hands to Lan Ling. Lan Ling placed her hands on Wang Zheng’s hand without changing her looks and headed down the stairs together with Wang Zheng.

Sun Xin frowned and blinked her eyes. Wang Zheng had only changed his attire but the feeling he gave off seemed to be..... pretty refined. However, to be deserving of Miss, he was still far from it.

At the bottom of the stairs, the atmosphere was dense. Not only was the Lan Family demonstrating their unique influence, other major powers were also making use of this opportunity to display their purpose and reasons for being there.

Commerce Organisation, Immigrant Families and representative of the New Immigrants...

In the banquet, they were wearing long sleeves suits and were good in dancing. Their gazes, background, strength, influence and topics in discussion were likely to affect the direction of development of the TitaTitan Star for the next several years or even decades.

Moreover, the fuss that Wang Zheng had caused previously had made it the topic everyone was talking about in such an environment. It was also an interesting topic among all the other topics. However, it would only last for a short while as it wasn’t a topic that would last long.

Just when everyone was talking about it excitedly, they finally heard the sound of someone hitting a cup. At the front of the MC’s stage, Old Man Lan Jiang was holding a goblet and he had hit it with a spoon softly. The sound had rang out through the sound system and everyone subconsciously looked towards the stairs.

Lan Ling was like an angel descending from the clouds. The protagonist was finally making her move.

She was really beautiful. The exquisite makeup seemed to have made Lan Ling the centre of attention and it was attracting all the eyes of the crowd.

*Claps*. Everyone started clapping. The protagonist of the banquet had arrived, signalling the official commencement of the ball.

The young men were rubbing their palms and straightened their backs. They were competing to be Lan Ling’s partner for the first dance. To lead the first dance of the ball with the protagonist of the ball would have extraordinary significance.

However, soon, everyone could quickly see the person standing beside the angel-like Lan Ling was none other than Wang Zheng who was wearing a full black tuxedo...

The perception of everyone was that if Lan Ling was the angel, Wang Zheng would be the devil that had imprisoned the angel.

“Could it be...”

“It couldn’t be!”

“What was the Lan Family trying to show by doing this?”

A sharp person would have notice that Wang Zheng had changed into an official suit. Connecting the scene previously where he was to meet Lan Ling alone, it would mean that she wanted to have the first dance with Wang Zheng!

The significance of this was different. Previously, Old Man Lan Jiang was still trying to give Wang Zheng a push and it had made him a section leader in the Milky Way Alliance. However, it would seem that this was just the prelude to marrying Lan Ling to Wang Zheng.

Between a man and a woman who were strangers to each other, with the IQ of Old Man Lan, he wouldn’t have done so if it wasn’t for this reason.

“Today was the birthday of Lan Ling and I would like to thank all our relatives and friends for being here. The truth was that I had wanted to make this an opportunity for everyone to gather and reminisced about the past. However, I have a friend that I would especially want to introduce to all.” Lan Jiang paused for a while and pointed at Wang Zheng. “I’m sure everyone can see the handsome brat here. His name is Wang Zheng and is currently working within the Milky Way Alliance Special Action Team. Please look after him in the future. Alright, I shall not bother everyone anymore. Music please!”

Melodious dance music sounded. However, the guests were unsettled. What was he trying to achieve with such a formal introduction?
