Chapter 1387: The Story of Ling and Heng (650)
Los Angeles, Li family.
“I didn’t expect Feng Ling to take care of Nanheng alone. She’s taking good care of him.” The Third Elder of the Li family received the report from the frontline and sat leisurely in the Li family’s backyard, drinking tea as he spoke.
The Fourth Elder of the Li family, who was feeding birds in the backyard, glanced at him. “Where did you get this news?”
“I bribed Xiao Xu, who usually follows Nanheng, and asked him to visit Nanheng and Feng Ling every few days to deliver things. Even if he arouses their suspicion, it won’t be a big deal. At most, they’ll just take it that we’re worried about them.” The Third Elder clicked his tongue. “I heard from Xiao Xu that in the past half a month after Nanheng was discharged from the hospital, he has been recuperating at Feng Ling’s place. His complexion seems to have improved a lot. And because Feng Ling is with him every moment of the day, the effect of his recovery should be better than anywhere else.”
The Fourth Elder of the Li family sneered. “Thinking back to when Nanheng was young, he was so mischievous that he jumped into a well in his own backyard. Back then, we all thought that this brat would definitely be a ruffian who refused to be disciplined when he grew up. Who knew that after leaving him in the base for so many years, he suddenly became a lovesick man who devoted himself to his wife and didn’t care about anything else. He really followed his grandfather’s character.”
At this moment, Li Nanheng’s grandfather, the eldest of the Li family, Li Junyan, walked out with a walking stick. Hearing this, he glanced at them. “What do you mean by following me?”
“The infatuation in Nanheng’s bones is too similar to when you were young. If his grandmother hadn’t left early, you would still dote on your wife like an ancestor.” The Third Elder smiled.
Li Junyan’s expression was cold. He was too lazy to speak.
At this moment, the Second Elder of the Li family interrupted with a smile: “In the past few decades, our eldest brother has only been deeply in love with Nanheng’s grandmother. He can’t even be bothered to look at other women. Even this weird habit of favoring men over women is especially similar to us brothers. Nanheng’s grandmother must have acc.u.mulated several lifetimes of virtue to make our eldest brother so loyal.”
The Fourth Elder smiled. “That’s right. In big brother’s eyes, there’s only one woman in this world, and that is Nanheng’s grandmother. The other women were all filled with pink holes, and all of them were crying. None of them can catch his eye.”
Li Junyan:”…”
The Third Elder raised his brows. “That’s why I said Nanheng is a ruffian. In fact, in his bones, he still adheres to the good tradition of our Li family. He is loyal and only recognizes one woman. All the other women are fleeting clouds and smoke. Just one woman is enough to make him die. I wonder when he will be able to marry her.”
“Ah, I think it will be difficult.” The Second Elder suddenly sneered and shook his head.
The three elders turned to look at Second Elder Li. “What’s difficult?”
Second Elder Li raised his brows. “He is injured and in such a state. Right now, he is so weak that he can’t even defeat a little girl like Feng Ling. I wonder if he still can carry on the family line.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
The elders fell silent.
“No way…”
“I don’t think so…”
“Well… our grandson knows what he is doing. When the explosion occurred, he must have blocked it…”
“It’s hard to say.”
“What if there really is a problem?”
“…”
“…”
Li Junyan suddenly coughed coldly and cleared his throat. The other three quickly shut up.
Li Junyan said with a cold expression, “From tomorrow onwards, call that Xiao Xu. Send them more supplements every day. If they lack anything, send them all. Sea cuc.u.mbers, deer whips, bullwhips, and all sorts of supplements to nourish his kidneys.”
…
In the morning, Feng Ling did the same thing as she did every day. She apply medicine to Li Nanheng’s eyes and ma.s.saged his head to relieve the pressure the blood caused on his vision.
When the doorbell rang, she didn’t need to guess to know that it was Xiao Xu, who would come to deliver things every two days.
Initially, she thought that Qin Shuke had really contacted him. After a few times, she roughly guessed that the Li family’s four elders had sent Xiao Xu over to visit.
Feng Ling went to open the door, thinking that Xiao Xu had brought some food over. Who knew that this time, Xiao Xu was carrying two boxes.
“Hi, good morning!” Xiao Xu smiled when he saw Feng Ling open the door.
Feng Ling’s face was expressionless. She glanced at him: “What are you giving me today?”
Xiao Xu did not waste time with words and directly raised the box. “These! In the future, cook some for Boss Li every day. Put them in various soups or cook them with clear water. All of these are fine!”
Feng Ling took the box and only saw the words ‘great supplement ‘ written on it. She nodded. “All right, I understand.”
“Then I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll come back in two days. Remember to give it to Boss. Definitely!”
“En.”
“As for you, if you want to eat it, you can eat it, but you’d better eat less.”
“?”
Seeing Feng Ling’s confused expression, Xiao Xu didn’t say anything more. He chuckled and waved his hand, escaping.
Feng Ling watched Xiao Xu’s back view as he walked to the elevator. She closed the door and walked in with the box in her hand.
“What did they send me?” Li Nanheng was no longer surprised by this. He sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, waiting for Feng Ling to ma.s.sage him.
Feng Ling did not speak. She brought the two boxes to the coffee table in front of the sofa and placed them on it. “These are two gift boxes of tonics.”
“Boxes?” Li Nanheng was amused. “These really are my elders. Why would they give me a gift box?”
As she spoke, Feng Ling had already opened the gift box and took out several exquisite boxes.
“Sea cuc.u.mbers…” Feng Ling said.
Hearing this, Li Nanheng turned to face her.
“Pig kidney?” Feng Ling continued reading.
Li Nanheng: “?”
“Goat kidney.”
“?”
“Deer whip, deer meat, bullwhip, turtle meat…”
Li Nanheng:”…”
Feng Ling opened both boxes and looked at them with a confused expression. “What are these things for? To nourish the blood? The chicken, duck, and goose sent over a few days ago, and all sorts of medicinal soup, forget it. What are these? I’ve never seen them before. How do I cook them? Do I cook them in clear water?”
Li Nanheng was speechless.
Where did the elders of the Li family think he was injured?
Were they worried that he was impotent?
Seeing that Li Nanheng was silent, Feng Ling looked up at him. “Do you know how to cook these?”
Li Nanheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He raised his hand in the air: “Put it down first. I don’t need these things.”
