Chapter 1106: The Story of Ling and Heng (369)
There were too many people coming and going, who walked fast, causing a breeze of wind. The man's hair moved slightly, like the silently swaying bushes under the dark night and like the cold snow falling on the Rogers Pass, making her heart skip a beat.
"It's okay. I'm used to you with short hair. If you have long hair, I am afraid I wouldn't even know where to put my hand."
The man's words were ambiguous.
Did he say that he didn't know where to put his hands on him or on her?
There were too many rice noodles in this pot. Li Nanheng was really not interested in this kind of food that girls liked to eat. After eating some, he got up to buy things.
Feng Ling focused on drinking soup and ignored him.
After a while, Li Nanheng came back with something.
She looked up at him. "What did you buy?"
He didn't speak but threw the bag to her. "Open it when we go back."
It was a rectangular box. Feng Ling didn't know what it was and wondered what he especially went to buy.
What was in the box?
When the man came back, he saw that she hadn't finished eating. Maybe it was too cold outside because he brought a clean bowl and sat opposite her, slowly eating rice noodles and drinking soup. Eating and drinking casually, he seemed to be in a good mood.
Feng Ling asked him, "How long are you staying in T City this time? You don't have to go back to the US?"
Li Nanheng replied, "You are in danger. How can I go back?"
Feng Ling took a bite of the rice noodles. "How long will it take to handle these people?"
"Two days."
It would take him one day to transfer people here and one day to solve them. With Li Nanheng's swift style of work, they could surely be handled within two days.

After the meal, Feng Ling ate too much and didn't want to go back by car, so Li Nanheng accompanied her on a walk back in the night in early winter.
When reaching the hotel, Feng Ling hesitated. Li Nanheng seemed to know what she was thinking and suddenly stretched out to hold her into his arms. Then he led her to the entrance of the hotel and said while walking, "At this time, whether you go to Ji Nuan or Wen Leqing, you will only be causing trouble to them. I'm the only one who can take you in and only I can help you deal with those people. Don't be silly. Now your first priority is to flatter me, OK?"
Feng Ling: "..."
She glanced at him meaningfully.
Under her gaze, Li Nanheng found that his lower body suddenly had a reaction! He squinted at her. "What are you looking at?"
"I'm thinking about how to be nice to you, Boss Li. But there are too many people who want to falter you that I'm afraid I can't do as well as others," Feng Ling said as she walked to the elevator, trying to break free from his arms.
However, the man clasped her more tightly, pressed his forehead on hers, and muttered hoarsely, "It only depends on whether you want to flatter me or not. As long as you'd like, I'll only allow you to do it to me, OK?"
"..."
Then what about his wife?
His "little wife" that he missed so much?
Feng Ling ignored him and entered the elevator.
She had just eaten a lot of food outside and it was already past seven when she came back.
She needed to change the dressing at eight.
Feng Ling went to the bathroom to wipe her body because she couldn't take a shower. Li Nanheng asked if she needed help wiping her body, only to be driven out. Feng Ling even locked the door of the bathroom from inside.
Although she knew that if he'd like, he could easily open the lock.
Li Nanheng couldn't afford to piss her off.
Li Nanheng had known what her bottom line was. Since she had locked the door, if he dared to break in, she would probably cut off all ties with him in anger and no longer give him any chance.
He must take his time and couldn't rush.
After wiping her body clean, Feng Ling came out and changed. When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw that Li Nanheng had already prepared the medicine that she was going to use.
She walked over and slowly sat on the sofa, avoiding her injuries.
The man looked at her exposed arms and legs, as well as her face and neck, which were full of wounds.
He glanced at the bruises on her neck, which looked particularly obvious after being scrubbed with hot water.
"Was it left by those b*stards?" The man looked down at her while applying medicine on his hands.
Seeing him staring at her neck, Feng Ling touched the marks on her neck. "Yes."
Li Nanheng's eyes turned colder and there was clearly a killing intent in his eyes, which was definitely not directed at her. He lifted her chin, put the medicine-coated hand on her neck, and slowly applied the medicine to the bruises. The ointment felt a little cool and comfortable. Feng Ling was embarrassed when she saw the man's face closing on her when he lowered his head to help her apply the medicine, so she closed her eyes and let him apply the ointment on her.
However, she didn't know how sexy she looked. After a shower, her hair was still wet and there were red marks on her body, which made her look as if she had just been tousled. Her fair skin looked even more smooth and delicate because of the moisture from the shower. She slightly raised her head and closed her eyes in front of the man, as if waiting for him to give her a brutal kiss.
Li Nanheng fought back the desire to kiss her hard and eyed the bruises on her neck. He looked at her face while applying medicine on her.
He could not often see her face so clearly at such a close distance.
The light fell gently on her face.
The girl's face was fair and clean, so delicate that her pores were invisible. Her eyes closed and her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.
He looked at her slightly pale lips and suddenly thought of the white frost flowers on the Rogers Pass. The frost flowers only grew in a frozen and snow-covered land but would rot in warm places despite being carefully taken care of.
The frost flower was the only comfort in the world of ice and snow. It was clean and beautiful but only grew on the cliffs. People couldn't even touch it, let alone take it off and take a look.
