Chapter 1327: The Story of Ling and Heng (590)
She knew he wouldn’t do as she wished, so Feng Ling didn’t waste any more time talking to him. She looked at Little Mo and took a photo of the child playing happily. She lowered her head, fiddled with her phone, and sent the photo to Wen Leqing.
After sending the message, she didn’t receive a reply for several minutes. She guessed that Wen Leqing probably didn’t have time to look at her phone right now. Feng Ling put down her phone and continued to look at Little Momo. Her lips curved up.
It was already late at night when they returned from the reception party in the villa. It was almost eleven o’clock in the evening. After playing for a while, Little Momo fell asleep on the little wooden horse. He didn’t even take a shower. Feng Ling wanted to wake him up to take a shower before sleeping, but when she saw the child’s adorable, chubby face and the way he looked like Doctor Wen and Wen Leqing, she gradually retracted her hand that was about to wake him up. She turned to carry the child up, put him on the soft, large bed, and covered him with a blanket. As she sat on the bed and watched the little guy sleeping soundly, she felt warm and comfortable.
The world of children was really good.
After looking at him for a while, Feng Ling stood up. The moment she turned around, she almost fell into the man’s arms. She abruptly took a step back and b.u.mped her leg against the edge of the bed. Thankfully, she had been trained for many years, so she was able to stand steadily and not fall back onto the bed. She paused and s.h.i.+fted her gaze to his face. “Why haven’t you left?”
“Did I say I was leaving?”
“Then I’ll go back first. I still have work to do at the company tomorrow. I’ll leave Little Mo to you for the time being.” With that, she turned to walk out from the seat next to her.
The man reached out and pulled her into his embrace. “It’s too late. Sleep here and go back tomorrow morning.”
“No, I have to go back to the company. Our company in Was.h.i.+ngton is temporary. After receiving the funding, I have to go back to New York. I have to go through a lot of things,” Feng Ling said lightly. “You know that when I took over the Feng Corporation, the entire company had collapsed. It wasn’t easy for me to reorganize so many small and scattered companies. I have to keep an eye on them. After all, every subsidiary company or small department will have problems. I…”
“After you came to Was.h.i.+ngton, how many days has it been since you slept well?” The man seemed not to have heard her words and only looked down at her face.
Feng Ling paused.
“You know my temper. If I don’t let you go, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to. If you have the time to pester me, why don’t you take a shower and sleep early? If you have the time tomorrow morning, drive back by yourself. If you don’t have the time, I’ll send someone to drive you back. It won’t affect you in any way.” The man’s hand was only wrapped around her waist. He did not do anything that would anger her. At the same time, he raised his cold brows slightly. “Or perhaps I’ll help you take off your clothes and shower, watch you sleep, and accompany you to sleep?”
Feng Ling did not speak at first, but then she put down the hand that was between him and her body. This action showed that she really did not want to waste time here and chose to compromise.
Li Nanheng let go of her and pointed to the bathroom with his chin. “Go take a shower.”
Feng Ling didn’t say much and went into the bathroom.
After a simple shower, she came out in a bathrobe and saw that on the coffee table opposite the suite was a plate of fruits and some simple snacks.
She did not eat much at the banquet and only drank two gla.s.ses of red wine. Although she was not drunk, it was uncomfortable to sleep with an empty stomach.
Li Nanheng had already left. In the room, only Little Mo was sleeping soundly.
Feng Ling glanced at the coffee table, took her phone, and sat down on the sofa. She ate the fruit plate and snacks while looking at her phone. Wen Leqing’s reply was from five minutes ago.
Wen Leqing: [Haha, thank you! He likes to play the slide a lot. He doesn’t feel tired playing alone for an entire afternoon. If you’re especially busy, you can let him play by himself. He won’t disturb you.]
Feng Ling smiled and replied: [It’s okay. I’m not afraid of being disturbed. When I’m really busy, I’ll leave it to someone else to take care of him for me. Don’t worry.]
Wen Leqing didn’t reply. Feng Ling put down her phone and continued to eat. There were two flavors of cake on the snack plate. One was the blueberry flavor she had always liked, and the other was the milky yellow flavor. It was the flavor she had suddenly liked in the year she was in England.
Li Nanheng even knew this.
Feng Ling looked at the time while eating the cake. It was getting late. She still had to return to the company tomorrow. After taking a few bites, she turned to brush her teeth and climbed onto the bed to hug Little Momo to sleep.
The child’s body carried a scent that was not present on an adult’s body. It was very mild, but it made one feel strangely drowsy. It was as though the entire world had softened because of the child’s breathing, and her heart had also softened.
…
The next morning, Feng Ling drove back to the company.
As soon as she arrived at the company, she felt that something was wrong.
There weren’t many people who came with her to Was.h.i.+ngton, but almost everyone’s faces were gloomy, as if something unpleasant had happened.
When she entered the office, she suddenly saw the LCD screen hanging above the office. In front of the Feng Corporation’s main office in New York, a live broadcast car from various TV stations surrounded the entire road. More and more people were watching.
Feng Ling looked at the screen and heard the office door open again. Qin Shuke walked in.
“You’re back? Last night, if you hadn’t sent me a message to inform me that you were safe, I would have brought the police to look for you. You didn’t come back last night.” Qin Shuke looked at the LCD screen as she spoke. “The situation in New York is getting out of control. After we came to Was.h.i.+ngton, someone started to spread rumors in the company that the Feng Corporation was targeted by the American financial circle and that the company could no longer operate. They also said that the company was going to have a large number of layoffs. Now, the employees of various levels are all in danger. Some people were incited to say…”
Hearing the hesitation in Qin Shuke’s words, Feng Ling’s brows twitched. “What do they say? Continue.”
She didn’t have to think to know that this news must have been caused by Feng Ming. Was he so afraid of being taken back by the Feng Corporation that he wanted to destroy it first?
It was indeed a good move to shake the morale of the employees.
“After a few people with unstable mentalities were incited, they said they would jump off a building to threaten CEO Feng and make you give up on the decision to lay off employees.” Qin Shuke sighed as she spoke. “This is really wrong. Although the Feng Corporation hasn’t been in good shape for the past few years, it has never been like this.”
