Chapter 765: The Story of Ling and Heng (28)
Grandfather Li’s face kept changing, from purple to white, and he clutched his cane in anger.
It seemed that he would hit Li Nanheng to death with his cane if he dared to say another word.
Marry the old clothes of a dead person?
Bulls.h.i.+t!
“Come on! Feng Mingzhu has already come downstairs. Even if you have no plans to marry her, you should meet with her anyway! ”
“I’m not going to meet, talk to, or marry her” This was Nanheng’s final response to his arranged marriage with Feng Mingzhu.
As long as he had made a decision, even the grandfathers of the Li family couldn’t make him change his mind. Listening to his callous words, Grandfather Li knew that he was definitely not going to marry the eldest daughter of the Feng family.
However, his marriage with the daughter of the Feng family was a matter of urgency. Now the influence of the Feng family had reached the political arena and the Li family’s deadly opponent was eyeing them covetously. If their opponent established an alliance with the Feng family via marriage, that was definitely a threat to them. Although the Li family was as powerful as the sun at high noon now, the situation would drastically change if their deadly opponents established an alliance with the Feng family.
“Are you sure you don’t want to marry Feng Mingzhu?” Grandfather Li narrowed his eyes coldly and looked at him seriously.
Li Nanheng said indifferently. “Yes.”
“Okay, very good. Remember what you said just now. You’ve got to marry the daughter of the Feng family. Even if you’ll have to marry the old clothes of a dead person, you must marry a daughter of the Feng Family!” Grandfather Li turned angrily and walked out with a cane, slamming the door shut heavily.
Nanheng didn’t care. He yawned and lay on the bed casually. Then he picked up his cell phone and glanced at the short message of the bank transfer.
The man raised the corners of his lips, sighed, and threw the phone aside.

Time flew. A year and a half pa.s.sed quickly.
Life at XI Base continued.
In the past two years, Feng Ling had grown at least seven or eight centimeters taller. Although she still seemed short among a group of men in the base, a girl of one meter six five tall was really not short, let alone that she was still young.
Early in the morning, Feng Ling heard the signal of morning exercise, got up to change clothes, and was preparing to train. Suddenly, she remembered that Han Jin a.s.signed her and K a task. Today, she and K were leaving the base to demolish the mines in a jungle in Los Angeles.
Feng Ling thought about it and got up as usual. K came over and knocked on her door very early. Feng Ling was already dressed when he entered her room. Although this energetic boy had received intensive training in the base for a year and a half, his skin was still so fair. K wondered if Feng Ling had used some strong sunscreen during the special training in the past two years. Otherwise, why hadn’t this lad gotten a tan after so long?
Besides that Feng Ling had grown a bit and had more strength than when he first arrived, he didn’t seem to have changed much.
Perhaps another change was that he looked prettier than one year and a half ago. Young people at this age were at the peak of their appearance, no matter boys or girls.
“Feng Ling, you have been living by yourself for more than a year. I really wonder if you hide some magic sunscreen in your room.” After K entered the door, he began to search around, opening all the drawers and the cabinet. However, after searching for a long time, he didn’t find anything like skincare products.
There were skincare products in the rooms of some base members with UV allergies. Feng Ling’s skin was so fine and tender, so everyone thought that he must pay a lot of attention to care for his skin. However, to his surprise, he couldn’t even find a moisturizer in his room.
K was going to open the spare box under her bed, where Feng Ling kept some sanitary pads that she secretly bought every month when she went out of the base. She could be dressed as a man, but she couldn’t make her period stop each month.
Seeing that K’s hand was about to touch the box, Feng Ling stretched out his foot and put it in front of his leg. K stumbled onto the bed and then jumped up. “s.h.i.+t! You moved your legs so fast that I didn’t even notice it! ”
Feng Ling put on the black short-brimmed hat that he must take when he was out on a mission and patted K’s cheek gently. “That’s why I’m at XI base. I didn’t receive any professional training. It’s because of this speed that I can be noticed by the Boss. Now that I have been trained for so long, if I was the same person I was, wasn’t I trained in vain? ”
K froze when his cheek was patted by Feng Ling. That was because Feng Ling’s hands were much softer than his, which was so soft and fine that he almost had an illusion.
More importantly, Feng Ling was so handsome being looked at from such a close distance. From his androgynous features and aloof smile, no one could tell what he was thinking of. When he was together with Feng Ling, they were mostly on a mission or training where their interaction was very violent, but now he suddenly gently patted his cheek as if flirting with him…
K took a deep breath, and for a while, almost forgot why he was here and took a big step back.
No!
He must keep a distance from Feng Ling in the future!
d.a.m.n, he must do it. He just got a face pat and smelled the shower gel fragrance of Feng Ling’s body just now that he could smell from other men, but he had got some physical reaction now…
Wasn’t it because there were too many men in this base, and he began to fall for men?
No! No! No!
His goal was to marry a beautiful woman, have many children, and be a winner in life after leaving the base in the future! He shouldn’t fall for a man!
——
The jungle was not far from XI Base. This was the third mission of Feng Ling in the past two years.
The first two tasks were very simple where they just needed to a.s.sist the Los Angeles Police in arresting the criminals. This time, Feng Ling and K were sent together because firstly Feng Ling had a strong sense of direction in the jungle, and she also needed such experience; secondly, K was very good at searching for dangerous electronic items, so it would be easy for them to find the mines buried underground. It was not the first time that the two had cooperated and the base had faith in their abilities.
After arriving at the mission area, they only spent half a day on finding all the buried mines in this area and then successfully disa.s.sembling them.
They took the mines and ammunition that had been successfully removed and put them in a special fireproof bag. K just carried the fireproof bag over his shoulder when the cell phone in Feng Ling’s pocket vibrated.
