Chapter 1108: The Story of Ling and Heng (371)
He asked, “So you can even easily surrender the man you love? Haven’t you thought of fighting for yourself once?”
“What shall I fight for?” Feng Ling squinted at him. “I have never s.n.a.t.c.hed others’ things, especially another woman’s man. Besides, you’ve already married. Why shall I give up my principle for you?”
With that, she patted his arm away, got up and left.
Li Nanheng: “…”
Another woman’s man?
He raised his eyebrows. Watching the short-haired woman walking towards the bedroom in anger, he leaned back on the sofa and smiled.
Little fool.
I have always been yours.
Feng Ling didn’t want to go back to the Feng family and didn’t even have the will to let others know about it. It was not easy for him to change her mind. He should think carefully about how to persuade her into accepting her family.
Feng Ling couldn’t fall asleep after going back to the bedroom. Her body was still aching faintly because of medicine.
She saw the bag on the bedside table and remembered that Li Nanheng bought it for her just now. What was it?
She walked over and picked up the bag. It was a black box inside with a picture of a cell phone on it.
Feng Ling studied at T University as a transfer student recently and saw that many students from rich families were using this phone. It was said that it was the latest model released last month, which had many more features than the phone she was using now.
And the phone was white, not the monotonous black.
She opened the box and saw the cell phone inside. This brand-new cell phone didn’t feel heavy when held in her hand. She turned it on to set the functions.
Looking at the phone in her hands, Feng Ling walked out of the bedroom, only to see that the man was no longer in the living room.
Hearing the sound of boiling water in the kitchen, Feng Ling walked over and saw the man boiling water in the kitchen preparing to brew the anti-inflammatory drugs she was going to drink.
It seemed that for so long, except for that time three years ago, she had never responded to his love for her.
She denied what had happened between the two of them over and over again, which he was very angry at, but he was still so nice to her as if he couldn’t control it. She was not blind and could see what he had done for her.
He saved her life many times, and he would even notice something as trivial as that her phone was worn out.
In the eyes of others, Boss Li might be an unapproachable man tougher than a rock, but what Feng Ling could see was his softness and warmth.
She stood in front of the kitchen with the cell phone, looking at the man’s back. “Are you boiling water?”
Li Nanheng didn’t look back at her. “Yes.”
“I can’t fall asleep. Is there anything I can help with?” Feng Ling’s voice was small. After all, she didn’t know how to face him yet.
Li Nanheng still didn’t look back. “Go back to the room and rest. If you can’t sleep, you can play with your new cell phone.”
“Thank you for the new phone, but don’t buy me anything again. I don’t need such a good cell phone.” Feng Ling noticed that he seemed to be making coffee while boiling water. She glanced at the coffee machine beside him and walked over.
Hearing her footsteps, Li Nanheng turned around and almost hit Feng Ling who had just approached. She stumbled and took a step back, and the new cell phone almost dropped from her hand. She hurriedly held it tightly in her palm.
However, she b.u.mped into the cupboard by accident and an empty coffee cup on the cupboard fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.
“Sorry.” Seeing that, Feng Ling couldn’t help but take a step back again.
Seeing that her bare feet were about to step on the broken gla.s.s, Li Nanheng immediately stretched his arm, put it around her waist, and pulled her back. At the same time, he kicked the scattered broken gla.s.s on the ground far away from her.
“Why don’t you wear shoes? It’s already winter. Don’t you feel chilly walking barefoot?” The man looked down at her with a frown.
Feng Ling lowered her head, pushed his arm away, took two steps towards the wall, then looked down at her bare white tender feet, and turned her eyes to the man. “There is floor heating in this hotel, so the floor is not cold.”
“You have to wear shoes even if it’s not cold. Do you want to be as fragile as Ji Nuan?”
Mrs. Mo often had stomach pains because she once had an extremely severe cold when she was little, but Feng Ling didn’t expect Li Nanheng to know this…
Did Dr. Qin tell him about this? So these men who look cold and dignified would also occasionally gossip privately about women.
Feng Ling’s delicate toes curled up slightly, and she stood still and looked at him. “I’ll go wear shoes in a while.”
“Wear them now.”
“…I just want to say thank you.” Remembering what happened just now, for some reason, Feng Ling found that her voice was trembling and something uncontrollable seemed to be spreading wildly in her heart. She clenched the new phone in her hand and found a reason for herself, although her voice sounded weak.
Li Nanheng was expressionless. “Thank me by breaking my cup?”
“I’ll call the front desk of the hotel and ask them to bring you two cups.”
Feng Ling, who had always been repellent and indifferent to this man, looked embarra.s.sed and said in a low voice. She glanced at the broken gla.s.s on the ground from time to time, not knowing what to do.
