Chapter 1232: The Story of Ling and Heng (495)
F*ck! Elder Li was acknowledging her as his granddaughter-in-law!
What could be more sensational than this news in XI Base?
If it were Feng Ling from three years ago, she would never have imagined that she would one day hear such words in front of so many people.
Li Nanheng, who was still standing not far away and watching helplessly, sighed and smiled because the old man was even more anxious than him.
Feng Ling was still in a daze when Li Nanheng’s voice suddenly rang. “Since I’ve invited you to the Li family, you might as well agree. Anyway, you’re busy taking care of the newbies and can’t find the time to go to the Li family to have dinner with them. Agree to it first. It’s up to you whether you want to go or not. Don’t take it to heart.”
As soon as Li Nanheng finished speaking, Feng Ling suddenly glanced at him. Grandfather Li also turned his head to glare at him. He slammed his walking stick against the ground. “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, is for your sake that this old man lost his face. I am helping you pave the way to your wife. How dare you come and ruin my stage?”
“I am indeed a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Who doesn’t know that I, Li Nanheng, have been a b.a.s.t.a.r.d since I was a child? It’s not something new.” Li Nanheng chuckled. “Feng Ling is thin-skinned. If I had known that you would say these words when she was unprepared, I would have found a place with fewer people. Now that we are in public, what do you want her to say?”
“I didn’t force her to say anything.” Grandfather Li glared at him again, warning him with his eyes that he was the one making the decisions, and that he shouldn’t ruin his own reputation.
Li Nanheng moved his handsome brows with a faint smile. Seeing that Feng Ling didn’t seem to be in a difficult position, he decided not to say more. He crossed his arms over his chest and leisurely leaned against her, but his eyes were fully focused on Feng Ling.
If Li Nanheng hadn’t publicly insulted his own grandfather for Feng Ling’s sake, the members of the base would never see Boss Li so… down-to-earth.
Even Feng Ling herself would never expect this.
She hurriedly said, “Recently, because of the newbies, I’ve been really busy. I’m afraid of not having the time to go over after rus.h.i.+ng to agree to it. Elder Li will think that I’m insincere and I definitely will have to visit him to thank him…”
“There’s no need. You’lll be family from now on,” Ah Feng suddenly interrupted. When Feng Ling turned to look at him in surprise, he winked at her with a very serious expression, indicating for her to quickly step down.
Feng Ling received his gaze and changed her words. “Thank you for your warm invitation, Elder Li. I’ll find time to go over.”
However, she could not bring herself to say anything about being family. She could only nod sincerely at Grandfather Li.
Elder Li was satisfied and nodded. “All right, then it’s settled.”
“Settled? Settled what?” At this time, the second son of the Li family asked in a low voice, “What exactly is wrong with this Feng Ling? Brother, didn’t you say that it’s impossible between her and Nanheng for the rest of their lives? Didn’t you say that if Nanheng dared to marry her into the Li family, y9ou would break his legs and sever all ties with him? You… what exactly are you doing now?”
Li Junyan didn’t explain. He just turned back and said in a low voice, “I came here today because I wanted to take a look at this girl’s current situation before making a decision. I’ll tell you when we go back.”
The three old men could not understand at all, but when they heard these words, they could only give up.
When the people in the base hall had all left, Feng Ling had yet to realize what she had just experienced. When she was about to leave the base hall, the man suddenly patted her head. She abruptly came back to herself, turned around, and almost fell into the arms of the man behind her.
She quickly stabilized herself and looked in from Li Nanheng’s side. The members of the base had all left, but the elders of the Li family were talking to Ah Feng inside. Li Nanheng didn’t go in to accompany them.
Feng Ling subconsciously wanted to rush out, but Li Nanheng reached out and pulled her into his arms. “Why are you hiding? Are you afraid of looking?”
“Elder Li is inside…”
“You’ve even acknowledged as his granddaughter-in-law. Even if they are standing by the side right now, they will ignore it. Behave yourself. Don’t keep thinking about running away.” Li Nanheng held her in his arms and looked at her dazed expression. He said lazily, “You’ve already been recognized by the elders of the Li family. What else do you have to avoid?”
The man’s arm pressed heavily against her back, and Feng Ling leaned into his embrace. After two seconds of silence, she did not break free.
Li Nanheng was satisfied. He stroked the back of her head. “Now, have you resolved all your problems with the Li family?”
Feng Ling: “There’s nothing wrong with it. Although the elders were a bit too harsh, they didn’t target me. After I left the base, they didn’t pay any more attention to me, nor did they ask anyone to block my way. This means that they didn’t accept women in the base and didn’t have any other thoughts. What problem can I have?”
Li Nanheng rubbed her head again. He knew that she was stubborn, but he also knew that she really didn’t take it to heart.
“Right now, nothing in the outside world will disturb you. It’s time to settle your own business.”
“Me? What’s the matter?” Feng Ling raised her head in his arms.
The man lowered his head to look at her. As their eyes met, he looked into her clear eyes. “Do you remember that I said I would show you something after the newcomer a.s.sessment?”
Feng Ling nodded.
“Come to my room tonight. I’ll show you.”
Feng Ling: “… ”
The man raised his brows and pinched her shoulder. “What are you thinking about? Your period isn’t over yet. What else can I do when I call you over?”
Feng Ling lowered her head in his arms and thought for a moment. “I understand. I’ll go over tonight.”
The man curved his lips. Seeing how obedient and cooperative she was in front of him, he bent down to kiss her forehead.
However, before she could kiss him, Ah Feng’s cough suddenly rang behind her.
Hearing Ah Feng’s movement, the veins on Li Nanheng’s forehead jumped. He pressed Feng Ling’s head into his arms, turned around, and looked at Ah Feng as if he was looking at a dead man. “Spit it out.”
Ah Feng was very embarra.s.sed and panicked. “The old man is looking for you, not me. The old man wants to talk about the military. I think it is serious.”
Li Nanheng: “… ”
He rubbed Feng Ling’s head hard, feeling as though she couldn’t wait to hide in his body to avoid Ah Feng’s gaze. He whispered in her ear, “Return to the training camp first. Remember to look for me tonight.”
At the side, Ah Feng, who was watching the two of them being lovey-dovey, thought to himself, “What on earth did I do to deserve this?!”
