Chapter 1336: The Story of Ling and Heng (599)
“No, Shuke will eat with me when she comes back from the gym. I can’t leave her alone.”
“I believe that as long as she knows that you are having dinner with me, she will happily be left hanging.” The man did not let go of her. Instead, he reached out with his other arm and held her in his arms from behind. However, he did not hold her tightly and only held her loosely. His voice was pressed against the back of her ears, gentle and slightly hoa.r.s.e.
In fact, Feng Ling really wanted to ask him when he bought Qin Shuke off. However, after thinking about it, Qin Shuke’s temper was not something anyone could easily buy off. She must have been willing.
This was even more difficult.
For some reason, there was a little fan girl who wanted to help Li Nanheng.
“Stay. Just have dinner, en?” The man’s voice was still close to her ear. “You helped me bandage my wound. I should treat you to a meal to thank you.”
“This is Mr. Mike’s place. What kind of treat is this?”
“You mean, after we leave the resort, if I say I want to treat you to a meal, will you come out to see me alone?”
“…”
Feng Ling said coldly, “Forget it. What do you want to eat?”
The man smiled behind her and raised his hand to touch her head. Just like in the past, her short hair was soft and fluffy, but now it was soft and long. It made his heart itch.
“The kitchen in the resort has sent the menu to every room. I think it’s in Yu Zheng’s room. Go tell Yu Zheng to order a few dishes. Let’s eat.” Li Nanheng b.u.t.toned up his sleeves as he spoke. He suddenly remembered something and said casually, “Give me two bottles of aged red wine.”
“You know I can’t hold my liquor well. Why do you want red wine?” Feng Ling turned back to look at him.
The man was still b.u.t.toning his s.h.i.+rt. He looked so focused that she couldn’t see anything. He didn’t even raise his head. “After all, you’ve been in the business circle for so long. You haven’t even trained your alcohol tolerance. How are you going to survive? Since I can train you from a low-level little girl to a high-level sniper, I can also train your alcohol tolerance. Even if you drink too much here, you won’t be affected. At most, I’ll take advantage of you. Besides, it’s not like you haven’t slept with me before. If anything happens, you won’t lose anything. It’s much better than being drunk elsewhere.”
Hearing this man’s shameless words, Feng Ling stood still and looked at him coldly.
Noticing that she didn’t order, Li Nanheng glanced at her and smiled lightly. “I’m just joking. Even if I drink too much, I won’t do anything to you. Drink some red wine to liven things up. I’ll ask Qin Shuke to take you back.”
“Do you think I can trust you?” Feng Ling was expressionless.
“So in your eyes, am I really a beast?” Li Nanheng asked.
Feng Ling paused.
A beast? It was not exactly a beast.
The way he drove the car up the mountain and did that to her could be considered a beastly act. However, looking at his att.i.tude and the way he made up for it later, she could tell that he was really angry at that time. Furthermore, they had known each other for so many years, and he had only been anxious once. Combining everything that had happened in the past, she had never taken that matter to heart. Now, that bit of anger had long faded.
Although Feng Ling did not speak, she turned to look for Yu Zheng. She took the menu and ordered a few dishes that she and Li Nanheng were used to eating. After thinking for a few seconds, she said, “Let them send two more bottles of red wine. It has to be a bit older. If it’s too expensive, you can pay for it from me. There’s no need to spend so much money on it.”
“All right.” Yu Zheng nodded. Without asking anything, he went out to ask for help as Feng Ling requested.
When she returned to her room, she suddenly heard Li Nanheng’s phone ring. She turned to look at him. The man picked up his phone, looked at the caller ID, and answered the call.
Hearing his tone, Feng Ling didn’t disturb him. She went back to the bathroom and took out the s.h.i.+rt she had washed earlier. After looking around, she finally found an ironing machine and a folding table to iron clothes in the cabinet next to the bathroom. She opened the folding table, plugged in the ironware, and took out the s.h.i.+rt she had just washed and tried to iron it.
After Li Nanheng put down the phone, he turned back to see Feng Ling standing there to iron his clothes.
The young girl was now a woman. Due to the fact that she was leaning over, her long hair was scattered behind his shoulders and would get in the way from time to time. She even had to lift one hand to push her long hair back or tuck it behind her ears with her fingers. Her movements were natural and practiced. She was wearing a set of white and soft clothes. Although it was not a skirt, it had a tulle texture and looked a bit fairy-like. Her face, which did not have any makeup, was too white and tender. Her clear and bright eyes were seriously looking at the s.h.i.+rt on the table and slowly moving it around.
This scene reminded him of the husband, who had just come home from work, seeing his wife was.h.i.+ng and ironing his clothes.
After so many years, Li Nanheng suddenly understood what he wanted.
Whether it was in the base, in the jungle, or now.
What he wanted was just to give Feng Ling a stable home. No matter if she wanted to live a peaceful life at home, or if she wanted to go out and explore, he wanted to give her a complete and safe home. He didn’t want her to be like when she was young.
Feng Ling was too focused on ironing the clothes because she rarely ironed her clothes. In the past, when she was in the base, she was not in the business circle. She just needed to wash her clothes. There was no need for her to be neat and delicate. After returning to the Feng family, there were servants, secretaries, and a.s.sistants by her side. There was no need for her to do such things. She had only been caught in the rain on two business trips. She had rushed back to her room to iron her clothes twice, and the first time, she accidentally burned her clothes.
She was too focused. When Li Nanheng approached, she kept looking down at the clothes and said as she ironed them, “These s.h.i.+rts can only be brought to the high-end laundry shop for dry cleaning or to be washed in other ways. I don’t know if they can be worn after the water is washed. I’ll iron them first.”
