Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing the seniors of the Li family put all their attention to the people of the military, Li Nanheng left.
After seeing the current situation clearly, Feng Ling turned and followed him out.
Li Nanheng walked in front and Feng Ling quickly followed him, but still kept a distance of one meter away.
When Li Nanheng walked out of the entrance, he stopped suddenly, so did Feng Ling, so as not to b.u.mp into his back like before.
The man took out the cigarette, lit it, and then glanced at her coldly. “Why are you following me?”
“Boss.” Feng Ling had figured out the current situation and said sincerely, “Boss, I didn’t know you plan and was being more of a hindrance than a help. Sorry.”
Li Nanheng looked at the door behind him, turned away indifferently, and continued to walk. Feng Ling hurried to follow him up.
When he walked to the black Hummer, he narrowed his eyes, drew on his cigarette, and blew out a puff of smoke. Then he casually threw the cigarette to the ground and extinguished it with his foot. “Didn’t you plan to take all the charges yourself when you came in? Do you think I hid you at my home for so many days just to hand you over today? What do you take XI Base for? What do you take the Li family for? What do you take me for?”
“No, Boss, I thought…”
“You thought? You thought I was controlled by those old men? So you tried to save me out in such a stupid way?”
Feng Ling knew that she was in the wrong. Because she did think he had taken a great pressure because of her, so she just wanted to bear all the charges and blames and didn’t want to implicate him.
Fortunately, she didn’t say anything wrong.
Feng Ling was silent for a while and then said in a low voice, “Sorry.”
Looking at her guilty look, Li Nanheng didn’t say anything more, nor did he ask her to go back with him. He looked at the door not far away and said after a short pause, “Did you see anyone while I was not at home?”
“No.”
“No? How come you suddenly become so strange? Did you forget what I told you?”
Feng Ling looked at him, pursed her lips and said nothing.
She didn’t want to mention Feng Mingzhu. However, although she was very calm at the time, she was still somewhat influenced by Feng Mingzhu’s words.
Now it turned out that what Li Nanheng said was correct. Don’t believe what was said about him unless she heard it from his mouth. She was almost fooled by Feng Mingzhu and almost made a big mistake.
“I didn’t expect that the seniors of the Li family would help me. At first, I thought they wanted to hand me over to appease the military.”
“You really know nothing about the Li family.” Li Nanheng looked at her coldly. “It’s not so easy to make the Li family surrender. To my grandfathers and great uncles, XI Base is like their baby, so they will never ever hand you over to please the military. Besides, you didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Yes, I found out later, but I didn’t see the situation clearly in the beginning…” Feng Ling looked at him innocently. “Boss, did I say anything wrong just now?”
Looking at her innocent eyes, Li Nanheng didn’t speak anymore, but just extended his hand to her and said in a low voice, “Forget it. Let’s go to dinner.”
She didn’t eat anything before coming here because she was not in the mood to eat. Now she was really hungry.
She looked at the man in front of her and had mixed feelings. She had not yet raised her hand and the man had held her wrist, opened the door and “threw” her into the car. Then he got in the car and drove away.
In the car, Feng Ling said while fastening the seat belt. “So, I don’t need to hide anymore, right?”
The man was driving. Looking at the front, he said flatly, “You were not hiding. Firstly, it was better for your recovery and secondly, I didn’t want to give the people of the military any chance to spread any rumors.”
Feng Ling looked at the pa.s.sing scenery outside the car.
Yes, indeed.
If she returned to the base a few days ago, she wouldn’t be able to live the life she used to and the people of the military would also make use of some people in the base to make rumors about her.
But since she didn’t show up these days, no one knew whether she was still in a coma or not and what had happened to her, so XI Base could control the situation more easily. Otherwise, someone might take advantage of her.
“If I’m not 100% sure, I will not allow my grandfathers and great uncles to call you over. Don’t think too much. If I can’t even handle this matter, XI Base will have to get a new Boss.” He took the jacket on the backseat and threw it to her.
Although he didn’t say much, looking at the jacket suddenly thrown into her arms, Feng Ling understood what he meant.
She came out in a hurry and came here by taxi. Although it was already cold, she only wore a T-s.h.i.+rt inside and a black uniform outside. Now she felt very cold.
Feng Ling put on the jacket and was about to say thank you. However, although the word had come to her tongue, she couldn’t speak it out.
She could feel that Boss Li was a bit angry because she didn’t trust him and tried to ‘sacrifice’ herself just now, which annoyed him. So she thought she’d better shut up.
When they arrived in front of a Chinese restaurant on a commercial street, the black Hummer stopped and Li Nanheng got out of the car.
Feng Ling knew he brought her here to eat Chinese food. She did say that she liked Chinese food. She got out of the car obediently.
A cold wind blew through when she got out of the car, blowing up the short hair on her forehead, and exposing the wound that was still red. The wound was so conspicuous on her fair skin.
Li Nanheng turned around and saw this scene, but Feng Ling wrapped herself in his coat, trotting to follow him up, standing behind him, and looking up at him. “Boss, are we here for dinner?”
Every time she wore his clothes, she was like a kid wearing the clothes of an adult…
Why every time he was angry at her, his anger was immediately gone as soon as he saw her being so adorkable.
Adorkable?
Thinking of the fact that Feng Ling could easily give Fattie an overarm throw, how could he think she was adorkable?
