Chapter 1070: The Story of Ling and Heng (333)
A storm surged in Feng Ling’s heart, and once again she looked at the closed door in front of her.
But the door was still closed as if proving what she had said to him.
Nothing happened. No love existed between them.
However, Feng Ling looked down at the files in her hand, stepped forward, and knocked on the door. After all, she had been waiting for him for many days.
After knocking a few times, she put her hand down and waited for a while. There was silence inside and no one came to open the door.
After waiting another two minutes, she raised her hand and knocked again.
After she repeated this process for a few minutes, the door finally opened.
The man was standing at the door. He had already taken off his jacket and was only in a black short-sleeved T-s.h.i.+rt. He was looking at her coldly as if he was not the one who always looked at her with warm and fiery eyes but the unsmiling demon Boss Li in others’ eyes. He looked at her deadpan without any emotional traces on his face.
The man put one hand in his trouser pocket. Although he was in a relaxed state, the line of his arm still faintly outlined the contours of his muscles.
Under his gaze, Feng Ling felt that she was duckweed on the sea and could not control herself. Her heart who she thought was calm suddenly trembled.
She told herself that she just needed him to sign the doc.u.ment and then she would walk away, far away to Hai City.
Whether he loved or hated her now, she would put aside all the old grievances and grudges. Now the most important thing was to make him sign the doc.u.ment and leave.
But her heart still sank inevitably under his indifferent gaze.
Feng Ling held the doc.u.ment in her hand up to his eyes. “Boss, I want to go to Hai City. Please sign the doc.u.ment for me.”
The doc.u.ment blocked his face, as well as hers.
However, the man did not respond. Feng Ling held up the doc.u.ment for a while, then retracted her hand and then looked at him.
Then she wondered if he had facial paralysis due to the serious injury or something else.
He could just tell her something no matter whether he loved, hated, was angry at, or blamed her. But why did he give her this indifferent look?
Feng Ling held the doc.u.ment in her hand and looked straight at him. “Li…”
“The high-ranking military officials will arrive at the base in half an hour. I will take a shower now. If you want to wait, wait outside. Don’t knock on the door anymore.” Li Nanheng stood there as steadily as a mountain with a cold tone. He moved his gaze from her face and closed the door.
Feng Ling, who was almost hit on the nose by the door. “…”
She retracted her gaze, stepped back a few steps, and waited in the previous position.
Since the military people would arrive in half an hour, his bath would not take too long. She could talk to him again when he came out. No matter how cold his att.i.tude was, she just needed to get his signature.
Not long after, Li Nanheng did come out. He had changed clothes and his short hair dried quickly. When he came out, he had the fragrance of shower gel, and Feng Ling stepped forward and handed the doc.u.ment to him again.
Li Nanheng stared at this hand and his eyes were sharp and cold. When Feng Ling looked at him, her heart that had just stabilized began to pound again.
She didn’t quite understand why she was so upset!
“I just need you to sign this doc.u.ment,” Feng Ling said, looking at him.
“Sign the doc.u.ment?” The next second, Li Nanheng asked deadpan, glancing over her two hands. “Did you bring a pen?”
Feng Ling was stunned. She forgot to bring a pen.
“Don’t you have a pen in your room?”
“I’m in a hurry to meet the senior officials of the military. I have important matters to discuss with them. They have already arrived. Do you think I will waste time going back, finding a pen, and then signing the doc.u.ment for you?”
“It will only take you a minute or two…”
However, the man didn’t look at her but walked towards the stairs.
Looking at the man’s back, Feng Ling quickly followed up. “Li Nanheng, let’s talk.”
He didn’t stop; he had no intention of talking to her.
She followed him to walk outwards and said as she walked, “I didn’t plan to go back here after I left XI Base. I know it’s because of you that I can come back with dignity, but I have already left here, and I don’t want to come back. You will only bring trouble to all parties by forcibly taking me in again. I really want to work for Mr. Mo, and Mrs. Mo needs someone to protect her now, I…”
The man stopped suddenly, and she stopped too to avoid b.u.mping into him.
Li Nanheng glanced back at her coldly. “It’s my business to do it or not, and it’s your business to go back or not. No one will force you. It’s up to you to go or stay.”
His words sounded flat and casual but seemed to be extremely heavy, making Feng Ling’s heart beat harder.
Feng Ling stood looking at him, but the man didn’t stay anymore and left.
After standing for a while, she looked at his back and saw that he was indeed heading towards the base’s conference room. She looked at the time again, only to find she didn’t have much time left.
Feng Ling looked down at the unsigned doc.u.ment in her hand and then looked at the man’s receding figure, remembering his gaze that fell on her face when he said she could leave at will.
For some reason, Feng Ling suddenly felt her throat scorching and a certain corner in her heart burst into pieces.
After nine months, she almost forgot that Li Nanheng said he didn’t want to see her again when he was still in the hospital.
She didn’t expect what he said was true.
His expression, his tone, and the look in his eyes.
Cold and disgusted.
Seeing this scene from not far away, Han Jin didn’t come over until Li Nanheng walked away. He looked at the doc.u.ment in Feng Ling’s hand and then at Feng Ling who looked utterly upset. “Boss is busy today indeed. Maybe you can come to him tomorrow?”
Feng Ling was silent for a while and smiled. “It’s okay. When will he finish the meeting with the people from the military? I’ll be waiting for him here.”
“Why are you in such a hurry to go to Hai City? Is it a torture for you to stay in the base?”
“No, I just think I need to talk to him.”
“About what?” Han Jin glanced at her coldly. “Do you forget what you said in the jungle of Boston nine months ago? Do you think Boss Li will talk to you?”
