Chapter 1398: The Story of Ling and Heng (661)
“Talking of this makes you feel guilty.” Second Elder Li snorted.
When they arrived at the condo and got out of the car, the Third Elder Li and Fourth Elder Li were dressed especially well. However, as Li Nanheng’s grandfather, Li Junyan, after getting out of the car, raised his hand and deliberately adjusted his collar. After confirming that there were no problems, he held his walking stick and walked toward the residential area with good scenery.
Third Elder Li whispered to Fourth Elder Li, “Aren’t we here for lunch?”
Fourth Elder Li nodded. “Indeed.”
“Then why does Big Brother look like he’s going on a blind date…”
“He can’t help it. After all, every time he sees Feng Ling, he feels guilty. Back then, when the girl was pitifully lying on the ground, he still chased her away…”
Before Fourth Elder Li could finish speaking, Li Junyan suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned back and glared at them fiercely. “Back then, the three of you also had a share!”
Second, Third, and Fourth Elders :”…”
The security guards at the entrance of the neighborhood were all sitting in the security room. They looked strangely at the four elders who were dressed very well and did not look like ordinary people. They all raised their hands to adjust their collars and cuffs. All of them had extremely serious expressions as they walked in.
At the same time, on the top floor of the condo.
This morning, she suddenly received a call from the Li family saying that the four elders will come to visit Li Nanheng. Feng Ling felt that her condo was still too small, so she went to Li Nanheng’s condo on the top floor.
She was busy preparing lunch. Her back and forth movements really made her look like a little wife who had stayed at home for a long time. In an instant, she seemed to have lost the valiant and heroic bearing she usually had on the battlefield.
Li Nanheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, feeling the sunlight outside. When Feng Ling pa.s.sed by him, he said, “Let’s find a time to open up these two floors. Otherwise, we’ll have to go back and forth.”
“Your top floor has already been crossed. If you add my floor, won’t there be a total of three floors?”
“If it’s three floors, so be it. The s.p.a.ce is bigger. It’s also directly merged into one, becoming one.” Li Nanheng spoke as he glanced at the sunlight outside the window.
Perhaps it was because the sunlight today was too intense, but the light in front of his eyes was too direct. She actually felt that it was much brighter than it had been two months ago. There was such a piercing light that penetrated through the infinite darkness.
Feng Ling really did not have any free time this morning. She had been busy. Li Nanheng said, “Let’s invite an aunt over. You don’t even have time to sit down and rest.”
“I don’t have anything to do when I’m free. This is good,” Feng Ling said as she pulled him to sit on the sofa. “Wasn’t it like this when we were in the jungle? Did you work all day just to have a good sleep and a good meal? This is the nature of human survival.”
After Li Nanheng sat down, he did not let go of her. He pulled her into his arms and Feng Ling suddenly sat on his lap. She was afraid of hurting him and quickly tried to get up, but the man held her tightly by the waist.
“Those old men have to take a walk, exercise, and feed the birds in the morning. They won’t come so early. Sit down and rest.”
Feng Ling was caught off guard and was pressed onto the sofa. She fell onto the sofa and the man pressed her down. However, before she could struggle, the man grabbed her wrist and held her down.
The two of them moved up and down. Feng Ling raised her eyes. Li Nanheng slowly bent down and stopped less than five centimeters away from her nose. “Happy birthday.”
Feng Ling leaned her head back. Although she couldn’t pull away, her expression faltered: “…Whose birthday is it?”
“You.”
“Why didn’t I know it was my birthday?”
Li Nanheng took out his phone from her pocket and showed it to her: “I can’t see, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know what day it is.”
Feng Ling’s expression faltered for a long moment before she recalled that this date was her real birth date. After she returned to the Feng family, the two elders of the Feng family had specially registered her birth certificate when she was young. However, she had never taken her birthdate seriously since she was young. After all, she had never known the exact date, so she was used to not taking it to heart. She had never taken it seriously.
Seeing the date displayed on the screen, she said, “So the Li family’s four elders are here today…”
They especially came to celebrate their future granddaughter-in-law’s birthday,” Li Nanheng said as he threw his phone on the sofa. He then lowered his head to kiss her nose twice. “So even if you didn’t prepare anything, they wouldn’t blame you. Instead, they would be more willing to invite you out to eat. They don’t wish to see you so busy with everyone’s lunch.”
“It’s precisely because the four elders are coming over that I want to make something for myself. It’s not for anything else. I just hope that they can see that I’m working hard to take care of you, in case…”
“In case of what?”
“…”
“In case they feel worried and want to take me back to the Li family?”
“No, I’m not that unconfident, but I hope they can be more at ease.”
“Oh, I think if you become pregnant right now, they’ll be more at ease and promise not to disturb us before the baby is born…”
Sensing that he was hinting at something, her expression instantly became stern. “It’s broad daylight, Li Nanheng!”
“It’s because it’s daytime. I hugged you to sleep for two nights in a row. Do you know how much restraint I used?”
Feng Ling was blus.h.i.+ng when the doorbell suddenly rang.
The two people on the sofa were startled. Feng Ling quickly took the opportunity to push him away. She raised her hand to tidy up her slightly messy hair. “You said they wouldn’t come so early. Since they said they would come today, they definitely won’t take too long. If it weren’t for you, I would have already put the vegetables in the pot…”
Li Nanheng snorted. “If they didn’t come at such a ‘time,’ I would have stuffed their great-grandchild into your stomach.”
Feng Ling resisted the urge to take off her shoes to hit him and rushed to open the door.
The moment she opened the door, the four old men stood neatly and solemnly outside the door. They looked as though they were about to return to the country to celebrate the rise of the heavens.
