Chapter 1109: The Story of Ling and Heng (372)
She said that she was going to have the front desk of the hotel to send two cups over, which exposed that she was at a loss what to do now.
“That’s a waste of time. I’d rather see you smile at me.”
Feng Ling raised her eyes and said, “I broke the cup, so I will ask the front desk to bring two. What’s the problem?”
“…” Then she realized what the man said just now, and stared at him. “Are you teasing me?”
The guilty look of the woman immediately disappeared and she stared at him instead.
“I’m here boiling water and brewing medicine for you, but you broke my cup in return, and now you are glaring at me?”
“…”
She didn’t know how to refute him.
He raised his eyebrows. “So, is it my fault?”
“…It’s my fault.” Feng Ling lowered her head awkwardly. “But it’s not your cup. I will pay for it when you check out.”
Li Nanheng said leisurely, “Do you know how much the cup is worth?”
When Feng Ling heard what he said, she knew that this man was definitely teasing her, and was a little annoyed. “How much is it worth? Is it an antique?”
“No, but it’s custom made. It was a pair. One of them is now on the end table in the living room. The other one was just broken by you. This pair of customized coffee cups is five times more expensive than the cell phone you are holding now.”
“…”
Seeing her eyes wide open, Li Nanheng was amused and burst into laughter.
Feng Ling felt that she seemed to be despised by Boss Li who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Even if it was five times more expensive than the cell phone, so what? She could afford it! She had an apartment in Los Angeles and one in Boston. And Mr. Mo also paid her well.
She had enough money! She worked hard for so many years and the money she earned was enough for her to make a good living, okay?
But seeing the man’s expression, she didn’t want to talk to him again.
She shouldn’t have been thinking of his kindness to her because of this cell phone. She should always remember his shamelessness.
Seeing her angry, the man waved. “Come here.”
Feng Ling was about to go back to the bedroom and put on slippers, but when she heard what he said, she turned her eyes to him, asking grumpily, “What?”
“There is a way that you don’t have to pay so much money.”
“What is it?” The cell phone cost several thousand yuan. If the cup was five times more expensive than the phone, it would cost at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which was almost her salary for half a month. She wouldn’t go back to XI Base and wouldn’t have so many chances to make money, so she asked, “You can’t take my card. Now I am no longer a member of XI Base, and I don’t need you to save money for me. I’ll keep my card myself and will never give it to you.”
“When did you start to care about money so much?” Li Nanheng raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes.
“…”
Now it was not like when she was in XI Base where she could earn at least two or three hundred thousand dollars in one mission, so she gotta be frugal. Besides, in the previous two years in Boston, she learned how to live a budget-conscious life.
To put it simply, Feng Ling used to live in the jungle, the orphanage, and then XI Base, so she didn’t know much about the outside world.
But now, outside XI Base, she had learned to live like an ordinary person, so she began to learn to plan her life.
She ignored him, went around the little broken gla.s.s on the ground, and got a broom to clean it.
When she walked back and was only an arm’s length from Li Nanheng, the man suddenly took her hand that held the broom.
Feng Ling glanced at him in confusion, but at this moment, he put his arms around her waist and brought her back, and in two steps, he had pressed her against the cupboard. The sound of boiling water had stopped and the coffee machine was still sounding, making a small buzzing sound.
Feng Ling tried to push him away, but he clasped her wrist. Although he didn’t exert force, his fingertips still touched a wound on her arm. She let out a low cry and was dragged into his arms. Her waist was against the marble countertop and her chest was pressed against the man’s chest. She was kissed before she could protest.
She was stunned for a few seconds before she tried to back up and push his shoulders away, but the man held her more tightly and pressed her against the marble countertop again.
Feng Ling: “!!!”
She glared at him in anger, but the man didn’t look at her eyes. He finally got a chance to kiss her. How could he let her go?
The man put his arm around her waist with one hand and raised the other hand to caress the back of her head. His soft lips pressed against hers. His tongue pried her lips open and invaded into her mouth, and their tongues entangled.
He was kissing her infatuatedly. Although Feng Ling tried to push him away and even bit his tongue hard, she simply couldn’t escape from him.
Because of her wounds and the considerable gap between him and her in physical strength, Feng Ling was simply defenseless against his fervent kis. She trembled all over and her brain went blank for a while when the man’s tongue entered her mouth again. She had to grab his clothes to steady herself.
When Li Nanheng finally let go of her, she was completely out of breath.
The man lowered his head, and his warm and scorching breath sprayed into her ear, making her tremble all over. She s.h.i.+vered and turned her head, but the man’s breath was still around her sensitive ears.
“Li Nanheng, what are you going to do…” Feng Ling forced herself to calm down.
“Five minutes.”
Feng Ling: “…???”
