Chapter 950: The Story of Ling and Heng (213)
Qin Siting seemed to imply something.
Hearing his words, Feng Ling who was about to pick her gla.s.s slightly paused, but soon she continued to drink water.
Li Nanheng cast him a sideways glance. Qin Siting just smiled and winked at him as if telling him to work harder.
Li Nanheng sneered. “I’m afraid neither Mo Jingshen nor I can be compared with you! You got dumped by a woman after being laid by her. Wow! s.h.i.+ Niange acted as if she loved you so much but, in the end, she left you without even looking back. People may wonder if you performed too poorly in bed and scared her away!”
Qin Siting didn’t seem to be hurt by his words at all. He smiled. “No, I’m not your match. After all, the boss of XI Base is still a virgin.”
“Puff…”
Li Nanheng hadn’t said anything yet and Feng Ling nearly spat water out of her mouth. She turned away her head and raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Li Nanheng and Qin Siting turned their eyes at her at the same time.
Seeing Feng Ling’s expression, Li Nanheng instantly glared at her.
Qin Siting glanced at him with a smile.
After that, they began to eat. Qin Siting didn’t eat much. Soon, he put down the chopsticks, looked at the time, and left because he had to go back to pack and catch his plane back to Hai City in the evening.
Once again, only the two of them were left on the table. Feng Ling had been bowing her head and eating quietly since he glared at her.
Looking at the girl who had been silently eating, Li Nanheng put down his chopsticks with a snap. “What are you laughing at just now?”
Feng Ling: “…”
She raised her head in silence, her eyes innocent. “Laugh? I didn’t laugh…”
Seeing her innocent look, Li Nanheng pursed his thin lips and coldly looked at her.
Finally finis.h.i.+ng the meal under the cold stare of Boss Li, Feng Ling followed him to the parking lot.
She was two steps behind him. Looking at his back, she remembered what Grandpa Li said today. Although Grandpa Li was partial to XI Base, there was a warning in his words. He was warning her to keep a distance from Li Nanheng, so as not to damage his reputation.
Walking behind him, she called him, “Boss.”
“Huh?”
“Can I go back to the base?”
She didn’t mean anything else, but now it seemed unnecessary for her to live with him. Now that the matter had been solved, she should no longer live with him.
Li Nanheng paused, turned around, and looked at her. He narrowed his eyes, his voice was low and deep, and he seemed like a different person from when he talked to Dr. Qin. “Am I a beast? Why are you so anxious to leave?”
Feng Ling bowed her head and didn’t speak.
“Feng Ling.” He said flatly, “I think you’re very clear why I tried my best to protect you. I have already confessed my love to you. It’s up to you whether to accept it or not. It doesn’t matter how long you live in my home. The only thing you can’t overcome is the wall in your heart. Besides, did I do or say anything improper to you when you lived with me? Why are you so desperate to avoid me? I don’t like to waste my time and energy. If you insist on keeping a distance from me, fine! Deal with the follow-up matters yourself and don’t speak to me again!”
Feng Ling froze. “Boss…”
The man pinched her chin and bent over, and his warm breath fell on her cheek. “I took you as my man, so I tried so hard to save you! If you are nothing to me, why bother, eh?”
Feng Ling clenched her hands and said in a low voice, “Boss, are you threatening me? Yes, I’m an orphan who depends on XI Base, but it doesn’t mean you can bully me like this!”
The man gently patted her face and smiled. “Yes, if you can’t accept it, you can find a better one than me to depend on.”
With that, he turned around and was about to go back to the car alone.
Standing on the spot and watching him walk away, Feng Ling suddenly felt something collapse in her heart, and all her calmness and reason she had tried to maintain disappeared in an instant. She trotted to catch up with him and before he got into the car, she opened the front pa.s.senger door and got into the car.
The man got into the car and turned to look at her. “Aren’t you going back to the base? Don’t tell me you want me to send you back.”
Feng Ling’s mouth twitched. “I’m going back to your apartment with you.”
Li Nanheng placed a hand casually on the steering wheel and looked at her with a sneer. “Do you know what it represents to go back to my apartment with me at such an hour?”
Feng Ling didn’t get what he meant. “Since Boss saved me, from now on, I’ll do exactly what you ask me to do. I won’t disobey you and make you angry again.”
Li Nanheng was not satisfied with this answer. “If I ask you to sleep with me, will you?”
Feng Ling froze for a long while before she looked at him stunned. “But boss, I am a man.”
Li Nanheng looked at her meaningfully. “That’s not a problem! The weather has been so cold recently. It’s terribly cold to lie on the bed after taking a shower. Isn’t it great to have a person sleep with me?”
Feng Ling: “…”
However, when returning to the apartment, Feng Ling suddenly ran to the 24-hour convenience store downstairs. Li Nanheng didn’t know what she was going to buy. After waiting for a while, he saw Feng Ling come back carrying a few hot-water bags.
“Boss, these can keep you warm.”
Li Nanheng: “…”
Looking at the hot-water bags in her arms, he raised his hand expressionlessly, and pushed her into the door of the apartment building. Then without a word, he dragged her directly into the elevator.
Feng Ling staggered along with him. After entering the elevator, she tried to break free, only to be held into his arms by him.
Li Nanheng’s strong masculine smell surrounded her. He pressed his forehead on hers and said huskily, “Do you think I’m a fool?”
Did he dislike the hot-water bag?
His hot breath sprayed on the wound on her forehead, which didn’t hurt, but she shuddered all over because his breath was so hot.
