Chapter 1080: The Story of Ling and Heng (343)
With Xiao Xu and Shen Mu’s introduction, Feng Ling was successfully brought to Mrs. Mo’s side.
Unlike Mr. Ted’s young daughter, Mrs. Mo’s trust wasn’t as easy to earn. However, soon after they met, Ji Nuan began to adjust to Feng Ling’s character. She also began to trust her.
What sort of woman was Ji Nuan? Feng Ling wasn’t sure how to best describe her.
She could only say that everything Ji Nuan possessed, Feng Ling did not have. And everything Feng Ling possessed, Ji Nuan did not have.
Strangely, their character made up for each other.
Feng Ling rarely spoke. However, she was dedicated to her role as Mrs. Mo’s bodyguard. Ji Nuan would often tug at Feng Ling’s emotions as she drew her into various conversations. Although when Ji Nuan spoke most of the time, Feng Ling would always quietly listen and silently watch.
From Ji Nuan and Mr. Mo’s marriage and relations.h.i.+p, Feng Ling witnessed many things she never once thought about. For example, they showed her that between a man and a woman, feelings that were deep to the point where it was impossible to lessen truly existed. They also showed her that a relations.h.i.+p wasn’t something that could be simply ended. A lot of people devoted their lifelong commitment to their marriage and relations.h.i.+p. They did not take it lightly and instead invested their lives into it.
Even though Mr. Mo never spoke about it, Feng Ling could tell that in the relations.h.i.+p that he shared with Ji Nuan, the two of them had fully devoted their lives to each other.
Besides accompanying by Ji Nuan’s side every day and guarding outside her studio, every so often, Feng Ling would spend around one to two hours to visit Mo Corporation and interact with the XI Base’s brothers sent to guard there. She had never met these men prior and was unaware of their team arrangements. However, she could tell that they were very capable. Otherwise, they would never have been sent to work by Mr. Mo’s side.
Around two weeks after she came to Hai City, she saw a man with a crew cut waving her over when she visited Mo Corporation: “Come here.”
Xiao Xu had returned to America after helping her settled down. Currently, Feng Ling did not know many familiar people around her. She saw that the person was dressed in a black suit, but a small, unnoticeable emblem pinned to his chest indicated that he was from the XI Base. After confirming this, Feng Ling approached him.
When the man saw her approach, he directly grinned at her: “What is it? You don’t remember me?”
Feng Ling watched him in suspicion: “Remember you? Have we met before?”
“Spit, Little Junior Sister Feng Ling, your memory is way too poor. Don’t you remember when you entered the XI Base at fifteen years old? At the time, I was still in Team One. Old Han would always call you over to our team to learn secretly. I’ve handed you water so many times. You actually forgot!”
Feng Ling stood dazedly for a long moment before she finally recalled. “Now that you mention it, I do have some impression of you. But afterward, when I entered Team One, you were already…”
“I came out to work with Mr. Mo a long time ago. The ones who were more capable in our batch all stuck together and are now with Mr. Mo. But we never expected that the thin little brat that we knew back then was a girl. Previously, when we picked you up from the airport, I already took a peek at you. When I confirmed that you were really Feng Ling, you wouldn’t believe how long my shock lasted. But afterward, Brother Xu explained a bit about your circ.u.mstances. My heart really aches for you. Since young, you never had many people to rely on, and you had to dress as a man to find a place to rest. It truly wasn’t easy for you.”
“…”
Feng Ling felt comforted by his understanding of her. However, she wasn’t used to talking about the hards.h.i.+ps she endured in the past and did not say much.
However, this was also good. From here on, she would at least have some connections in this place.
She didn’t mind him calling her Little Junior Sister. After all, they were all ex-members of Team One and were all taught by Han Jin. The t.i.tle ‘Little Junior Sister’ wasn’t strange at all.
Before she could consider anything more, a heavy weight suddenly rested on her shoulder. The man had already placed his arm over her shoulders, and with an appearance as though they were extremely close brothers, he announced to the men behind him: “From now onwards, this is our Little Junior Sister. Don’t look at how she’s all skin and bones. She’s extremely capable. Let me tell you all, you have to be extremely careful not to offend her!”
There were more than XI Base’s men in the group. There were also several important bodyguards in the Mo Corporation. In any case, they were all very outstanding people. Feng Ling was slightly uncomfortable with such an introduction and stayed silent the whole time.
However, right after he spoke, more than ten, well-built men rushed forward and surrounded them. They excitedly reached their hands out and introduced themselves.
“I’m Zhao Hanshan!”
“I’m Hao Bing!”
“I’m Zou Yang!”
The man who first held her shoulders and happily addressed her as Little Junior Sister was called Bai Kai. Everyone addressed him as Plain Water. [1. Plain Water in Chinese is also read as Bai Kai Shui. Although the Chinese characters are different, it’s p.r.o.nunciation is similar.]
These broad-shouldered men were all more than 1.8 meters tall. As they rushed over to surround her, for the first time in her life as an existence that was only 1.7 meters tall, Feng Ling felt that she slightly lacked oxygen.
Bai Kai burst into laughter by the side: “Little Junior Sister Feng Ling, don’t be so polite. Before leaving, Xiao Xu specially informed me that if you even lose a single hair or suffer the slightest grievance in Hai City, Boss Li will charge over and cripple our entire team. These words may sound light, but after proper consideration, it seems to be sufficiently traumatizing. He even brought Boss Li up. This means that anyone who dares touch you would be pitting themselves against the XI Base. They would also be pitting themselves against our Mr. Mo. Don’t worry; we’ll definitely spoil you rotten. We won’t let anyone even think of bullying you.”
When the other men heard him, they immediately leaned closer to surround her tightly. It was as though they were treating her like a spoiled dumpling; whenever anyone pa.s.sing by tried to take a look, they would keep her out of sight.
Seriously, the bodyguards from XI Base and the Mo Corporation only had so few people, and they were all men. It was so rare for a girl to come in, and she was actually this beautiful.
They definitely wouldn’t allow anyone to s.n.a.t.c.h her away.
Even without Boss Li and Xiao Xu’s nagging, this Little Junior Sister was still theirs to claim. They wouldn’t allow anyone to take even an extra glance.
Feng Ling had been in Hai City for two weeks. Previously, she always remained by Ji Nuan’s side. She never thought that in coming to Mo Corporation to give her greetings today, she would encounter such a pa.s.sionate welcome…
Mr. Mo was still engaged in a meeting, and there was nothing much she could do. She could only talk to these men and listen to their nagging.
Feng Ling truly wanted to say that, if a person with the ability to bully her existed on this earth, that person probably wasn’t born yet.
Even back when she faced various dangerous terrorists, she only met with the smallest amount of danger. Bully her? How could it possibly be that easy?
