Chapter 1411: The Story of Ling and Heng (674)

Li Nanheng seemed to have choked on his own saliva because of her words. He coughed twice and raised his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. However, because the anesthesia had just worn off, his body could not move on its own. He only raised his hand slightly before putting it down.

Feng Ling lowered her head and leaned in front of him. Li Nanheng took the opportunity to grab her long hair. He gently wrapped his fingers around her hair and sighed. "All is good. Even if you really shave your head and appear in front of me, you're still my wife. You can't run away."

Feng Ling chuckled and looked at his face. "The surgery was just done. No matter how small the wound is, it still hurts. Don't move. Rest well. When the postoperative recovery period ends, you'll be able to see the light again."

"The doctor said there's a high chance of seeing it in a few days?" Li Nanheng asked.

Feng Ling recalled for a moment. "It's very likely. I'm very sure."

"There's still a small chance of failure." Li Nanheng gently held her long hair. "If I don't recover after this operation, I'm afraid I'll have to..."

Before Li Nanheng could finish speaking, Feng Ling had already brought the cup to his lips and placed a straw in it. "Don't talk so much. Drink some water."

Li Nanheng quieted down. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, his lips looked much better.

"Li Nanheng, there aren't so many 'ifs'." When Feng Ling took the cup away, she said calmly, "Just as everyone thought that you and K are doomed, while I believe you were definitely still alive, I also believe your eyes will recover. Even if you really stay blind for the rest of your life, if you dare to push me away like you did at Gorkin Farm and refuse to acknowledge me, you can try and see what happens"

Perhaps because he felt the threat in her words, Feng Ling wasn't someone who would casually say harsh words. However, if he dared to push her away again, she probably wouldn't turn back even if he didn't push her away. She wouldn't turn back even if she died.

Li Nanheng chuckled. "All right, I won't push you away."

Feng Ling then reached over in satisfaction and pulled his hand up. She gently rubbed his arm that was slightly numb from the anesthesia. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll accompany Qin Shuke to a business evening charity banquet this weekend. I might not be able to come back for the next two days. You stay in the hospital well. I'll be back on Monday."

"Haven't you already resigned? You're still attending the banquet?"

"It's a very important partner from two years ago. He has always taken good care of the Feng Corporation. I was the one who personally went to discuss the cooperation back then. The other party is an old man in his sixties. I respect him very much. He is holding a charity dinner on his birthday and invited many people, including me. Although I'm no longer in the Feng Corporation, they clearly know that I've returned to New York. My name is in the invitation. If I don't go, it won't be good for the Feng Corporation and for Qin Shuke. I should at least give him some face."

It was rare for Feng Ling to speak so much in one breath. Furthermore, she was explaining the reason why she had to go. She was no longer as lazy not explaining anything no matter what she did. She was also too lazy to cast an unrelated gaze at others. Feng Ling, who was usually not very familiar with the ways of the world, could be considered to have been involved in the business world. She would always remember the people who had once helped her.

"Does this old man have any suitable sons, grandsons, and nephews?" Li Nanheng suddenly asked after being silent for a moment.

Feng Ling subconsciously answered: "No, I think he only has a daughter. She's almost thirty-eight years old and hasn't married yet. She also took good care of me. She's a strong business woman."

Hearing this, Li Nanheng's expression seemed to relax. "En, then let's go."

Feng Ling glanced at him and understood what he meant.

Was he afraid that someone would send him a love rival?

She could not help but laugh. "He used to have some friendship with my grandparents, and he knows that my parents met with an accident. He knew I was homeless before I finally returned home. His heart ached for me, so he helped me a lot. It's not what you think."

"It's best if it isn't. It doesn't matter if it is. Even if I'm disfigured, you'll still be dead set on me. The men outside won't have a chance." Li Nanheng's words made his face neither red nor breathless.

Feng Ling held her forehead.

...

Three days later, on the weekend.

In the ballroom of a certain seven star hotel in New York.

Qin Shuke and Feng Ling walked side by side into the red carpet hall. The two of them were each other's companions today and did not bring any male partners or secretaries.

Suddenly, two natural beauties walked in at the same time. For a moment, the scene became much more lively. Many single men came forward to greet them.

"In this world, it's said that women are materialistic. In fact, men are equally realistic." Qin Shuke received the wine glass with a smile and clinked glasses with the single men who came to greet her. At the same time, she deliberately turned around to block Feng Ling. She didn't want Feng Ling to be too distant and embarrassing. At the same time, she gave Feng Ling a look and the two of them spoke quietly.

Although Feng Ling had been in the business world for a few years, in the past, when Ji Nuan and Xiao Ba appeared in England, she usually studied and watched from the back. After returning to the country, she had Qin Shuke as her companion, so she didn't have to go forward to clink glasses and smile at such occasions. This sort of thing was really easy for a lively little woman like Qin Shuke to do. However, only Feng Ling knew that Qin Shuke was the kind of beauty who appeared to be able to chat and laugh with people on the surface, and even dared to talk about a one night stand. However, in fact, after the social interactions ended and she turned around, there definitely wouldn't be a hint of a smile on her face. She was actually very conservative and calm in her bones, so to this day, in front of others, Qin Shuke was a woman with a glib tongue that knew more tricks than men. However, her private life was actually very clean.

Feng Ling also casually picked up the goblet the waiter brought over. She was not in a rush to drink it. She only looked at the men who were deliberately blocked by Qin Shuke and gave her a "you really understand me" look. Then the two of them continued walking in. Qin Shuke smiled at the men who came to greet them from time to time and looked at Feng Ling.

Humans were all very realistic, just as she had said.

In the past few years, the Feng Corporation's foundation was on the verge of collapse. Feng Ling and Qin Shuke tried their best to support the Feng Corporation, but everyone could see that they were in a difficult situation. Not only would they not lend a helping hand, but they would also watch coldly from the side. Back then, when the two of them came to attend such banquets, most of them received cold looks. Their eyes were filled with "who are these two?" "Where did they come from?" and "I've never heard of them, I don't know them."
