Chapter 972: The Story of Ling and Heng (235)
Li Nanheng said nothing more about whether she could return to the base or not and drove her directly to his apartment.
Before entering the apartment, Feng Ling glanced at the number of the floor below his apartment, thinking that if she was in good shape recently, she could go out to buy some furniture and household appliances and then move into her own apartment.
Li Nanheng glanced at her. “Don’t think that you can live on the floor below. Before you finish decorating your house, you have already recovered well enough to return to the base.”
Feng Ling: “…”
She turned to look at him.
She said nothing. How could he guess what she was thinking?!
Li Nanheng frowned. “I can see through you, OK?”
Feng Ling: “…
Entering his apartment again, she felt exactly the same as before. Although it was cold and windy outside, it was as warm as spring inside.
But something seemed to be different…
For example, the last time she lived here, she was a “man.”
But now…
Li Nanheng brought her back although he had known that she was a woman. A man and a woman were in the same room alone, which was another story.
“Boss.” Feng Ling took a look at him.
Li Nanheng glanced at her. “Yes?”
Feng Ling’s lips moved. She wanted to say something but then she thought that it would be too much. After all, she had lived here before, not to mention that he might have early known her secret.
Otherwise, why wasn’t he surprised at all?
With this in mind, Feng Ling took a step back awkwardly. “I just, I…”
Li Nanheng frowned. “You don’t want to live here?”
“Uh.” She nodded.
“Are you afraid that I’ll go hara.s.s you at midnight after knowing that you are a woman?”
“…No.”
“You can live outside, but give me a reason.”
Feng Ling was wearing a very loose white sports suit that was bought in Cambodia. She stood upright and hung her hands on either side of her body as if receiving training on the training ground at the base. She said seriously, “I think that Han Jin and Xiao Xu know my secret. I have been in Cambodia for so many days. Although the doctor has not emphasized my gender, I saw my gender was female on my medical record. Xiao Xu and the other members must have seen it, so my secret will be exposed sooner or later. The seniors of the Li family value your reputation very much. I don’t want to affect your reputation…”
Li Nanheng sneered, dropped the black duffel bag in his hand to the ground, and walked toward her. “I didn’t care about my reputation when others suspected my s.e.xual orientation. Now I took a girl back to my place. Come on, why should I care about others’ views? Can they talk me to death?”
Feng Ling looked at him. “But the seniors of the Li family really care about…”
“If I had lived the way they wanted, you wouldn’t have seen the present me.” The man approached and raised his hand to touch her cheek. Feng Ling didn’t dodge his hand and he slammed the door behind her shut.
Then Li Nanheng turned and walked to the sofa. “Don’t think too much. Just live here. You’re here to recuperate. What do you think I will do to you?”
He spoke as if he was the most decent man in the world.
If Feng Ling wasn’t deceived by this man’s decent appearance, how could she be dragged into this love vortex that she never understood?
In fact, she felt quite lost now.
She didn’t even know how she felt about Boss Li.
Appreciate him?
Rely on him?
Or like him?
But since he had said so, she didn’t have to think too much. She went up to open the duffel bag he put down, took out her clothes from the inside, and was about to go back to the bedroom where she had lived before.
Li Nanheng’s voice suddenly floated from the side. “Don’t you have any normal clothes?”
Feng Ling looked at the two black uniforms and loose T-s.h.i.+rts in her arms and then looked at him. “What are normal clothes?”
“Clothes other than the base uniforms.”
“The sportswear on me is not bad…”
Li Nanheng raised his eyebrows. “Any women’s wear?”
Feng Ling: “…I don’t wear women’s wear. I’ll still go back to the base.”
“You can wear it in front of me?”
“No!”
Hearing such a firm rejection, Li Nanheng didn’t speak. He leaned sideways on the shelf beside the living room wall, looking at Feng Ling who was dressed like a boy.
She probably didn’t know that no matter what she wore, she could always turn him on, whether she was in men’s or women’s clothes.
It didn’t make any difference no matter what she wore.
“We traveled all the way back from Cambodia, so you must be tired now. Go to sleep,” Li Nanheng looked at her and said lightly.
Not expecting that he let her off so easily, Feng Ling looked at him, and when she saw that he had no intention to continue speaking, she turned away with her clothes.
Just when she was about to walk into the bedroom, Li Nanheng’s voice rang behind her. “It seems that you are not comfortable wearing my clothes. I’ll ask someone to buy you two sets of pajamas and loungewear?”
“Thank you, Boss.” Feng Ling said, quickly entered the bedroom, and closed the door.
——
In the evening.
Someone sent a few bags of goods from a nearby department store and Feng Ling who had just walked back and forth a hundred times in the living room for exercise, went to open the door.
She took the bags and saw the signs on the bags, which showed that they were bought in the nearest department store, and she threw all the bags on the sofa with a doubtful look.
“Boss, did you buy these things?” She looked at the man walking out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee.
Li Nanheng glanced carelessly at the sofa while walking, and said, “I bought these for you.” Then he went into the study.
Feng Ling looked at these things in surprise.
Didn’t he just say ‘two sets of pajamas and loungewear’?
Why were there a dozen bags or so…
She picked up one of the bags in doubt and it was a set of pajamas inside, which was pink. Although it was not of a very girlish style, it was definitely for women.
Looking at the pajamas, Feng Ling instantly remembered what Li Nanheng said just now and only felt that she was tricked by this man.
She should have told him that she didn’t want any women’s wear…
