Chapter 10 - GAD Princess’s Suspicion

Mark sympathetically patted his brother's shoulder and said, "Don't look at her. I told you before, she's not suitable for you. There are plenty of beautiful women out there, and it's not worth the trouble."

Li Feng showed no sign of discouragement and replied, "Don't worry. I don't expect anything from her, nor will I feel any pressure. I just want to enjoy this feeling."

"Stop pretending to be a philosopher. Don't be like Plato. Real beauties are everywhere. You're giving up a vast primeval forest for a single tree!" Mark exclaimed.

However, when the target person got out of the car, Mark also fell silent. All the beautiful women he had mentioned earlier paled in comparison to this girl, who was truly exquisite.

Tang Ling may not be a well-known name among the USE Tang family, but mention GAD Corporation and everyone knows about it. GAD is one of the major producers and developers of mobile suits for the USE Human Alliance. It is a large corporation that has a significant political influence, and there is nothing more profitable and influential than manufacturing mobile suits in this society.

And Tang Ling, at the age of 18, is the president of GAD Corporation and the only daughter of Tang Zhen, who holds 73.5% of the shares. Her importance is self-evident. Apart from her family background, Tang Ling's appearance is impeccable. She stands at 1.75 meters tall, with a golden ratio, and her smooth black hair feels like silk. She exudes an air of nobility, like a princess from a fairy tale. Her snow-white skin is undoubtedly inherited from her mother, who is of Evintar and human descent. It is common for second-generation Evintar and human hybrids to be geniuses who possess both beauty and intelligence.

Tang Ling does not have a domineering aura, nor does she need it, because her beauty, intelligence, and family background are enough to scare off many people. Like Li Feng, many people silently admire her.

Of course, Li Feng is an anomaly among anomalies. He is not interested in family background or anything of the sort. Admittedly, he was initially attracted to her by her appearance, but as someone once said, most people are ordinary in this world, and he is one of them. He is just impressed by Tang Ling's personal ability. She is involved in the research of new mobile suit systems, which have been put into use, and she consistently tops the charts in various fields. This is in stark contrast to Li Feng's dismal grades.

In fact, these are still secondary. One time, Li Feng undoubtedly saw Tang Ling quietly contemplating on the rooftop. In that moment, he was shaken by an unparalleled image, leaving an indelible mark on his heart. However, Li Feng is very self-aware. First love doesn't necessarily have to have a result. As long as it is meaningful, it is enough.

So he didn't feel as tired or burdened as Mark had imagined.

"Ahem, never mind, what did someone say earlier?" Li Feng had to wake up Mark, who would always say one thing and do another when he saw a beautiful woman.

Mark couldn't help but sigh, "This girl is really something else. It's no wonder even you, who are clueless about love, would like her. But she's just too far away from us. Let's go, let's go."

Mark's family also runs a business and is quite wealthy compared to ordinary people. But compared to GAD, they're nothing. Once you reach this level, emotions are no longer simple emotions, and besides, Tang Ling is too outstanding. It's really hard to find a match for her.

When the two turned around to leave, they didn't realize that Tang Ling's gaze seemed to fall there inadvertently. This situation had been going on for a few months already. Tang Ling's intuition was very sensitive, and she was easily aware of this kind of situation with people who had a high level of mental power. She had investigated the person named Li Feng, whose family was ordinary and who seemed to be obsessed with space war games in order to keep a low profile. His grades were terrible, but he was a decent person. Mark, who was beside him, seemed to have some assets at home, but overall, they were just an ordinary and average combination.

But ever since they met in the rooftop no doubt zone, Tang Ling had a strange feeling every time Li Feng looked at her. You should know that this feeling is innate, and only those who are strong and threatening can catch her attention. This kind of strength is multifaceted, such as his father, who is not a combat personnel himself but wields enormous power, and also has a strong aura. However, this person named Li Feng doesn't seem to have any ability at all, so how could he draw her attention?

And today, this feeling was even stronger. In that moment, there was a suffocating sensation, the first time in her life, and even his father and even the senator in the Federation had never put so much pressure on her.

Girls always believe in feelings, especially Tang Ling, who was born into that kind of family, which meant she couldn't be a naive and ignorant little girl. She had to investigate people who posed a threat to her thoroughly.

The departing Li Feng unexpectedly felt like he was being observed, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He just laughed and rushed into the classroom with Mark. Little people have their own little lives.

Approaching graduation, the teachers constantly talked about the future and of course, they didn't forget to set examples for everyone. Naturally, Miss Tang Ling, due to her outstanding contributions to the Mobile Suit System and excellent grades, was selected to attend the Yalang A-Level Military Academy, one of the five major military academies for humans. The Yalang Military Academy also expressed their welcome and the acceptance notice has been issued in advance.

Different people have different destinies. This kind of thing is like a drizzle for Tang Ling, but for the average student, it is as difficult as reaching the heavens. Li Feng is one of them. Entering the Yalang A-Level Military Academy is his dream. Besides being closer to his own ideals, he can also live in the same academy as Tang Ling. However, it seems that with his grades, even if the academy attaches great importance to talents, they would probably exclude him directly.

The teacher was impassioned in his speech, but Li Feng and Mark had long stopped listening. Li Feng was accustomed to immersing himself in imagining manipulating Mobile Suits. He called this training method "meditation," claiming that using the brain to imagine seriously can achieve 30% of the effect of actual training. Only Li Feng knows if this is true or false. It may also be an excuse for daydreaming in class. In comparison, Mark is more straightforward in his fantasies of beautiful women.

But Mark's grades are much better than Li Feng's.

As soon as class ended, the students rushed out at laser speed. The watching teacher shook his head, while Li Feng and Mark were the leaders.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Tang Ling slowly put down her telescope. Ever since she saw Li Feng today, she had been restless and couldn't even focus on her studies. But after observing him for a day, he seemed no different from ordinary students. However, her feelings were just the opposite.

Once she had a question, she always had to resolve it. This was a habit that Tang Ling had developed since childhood. She knew that if she didn't clarify everything, she would be thinking about it all day.
