Chapter 1424: The Story of Ling and Heng (687)

Feng Ling: "...You really don't change."

Li Nanheng was unmoved by her mockery. He watched as she came out wrapped in a towel after showering: "If I had known that you would be in such a state after showering, I would have jumped over every day to watch you at the base."

Feng Ling's expression faltered. She recalled that back when they were in the base, he had lived next door to her. Back then, the balcony outside was also easy to open. He could come over anytime.

However, he, Boss Li, insisted on keeping his face. Almost every time, he would knock on the door and enter openly. Furthermore, he would come up with all sorts of tricks, even when she was disguised as man.

She did not speak and turned to blow-dry her hair. Before she could dry her hair completely, she suddenly heard her phone ring. She walked out and picked up the phone to see that it was Qin Shuke. She picked it up. "Shuke?"

A resentful voice came from the other end: "When exactly are you guys coming back..."

Feng Ling's face was filled with confusion. "Where are we going?"

"Go back to your condo in New York. I've been told by my brother-in-law to wait here for a day. It's already so late, yet you guys aren't back yet. I'm about to die of boredom, okay?" Qin Shuke said as she nibbled on the hamburger in her hand. "Thankfully, there are several shops nearby that can deliver takeaway. I wanted to eat something. Otherwise, when you guys return, you'll see me starving to death here."

Feng Ling turned to look at Li Nanheng who had clearly forgotten about Qin Shuke. "...You're at my place? I'm back in the Feng family. I shouldn't be able to go back tonight. Why don't you call a car to pick you up?"

After a few seconds of silence, an angry voice came from the other end of the line: "Damn! Where is Li Nanheng? Is he on your side?"

"He's here."

"Ah, ah, ah, this bastard! He said that he didn't know the password to your apartment and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to enter when he went out. He said that he wanted me to stay behind to watch the house! I've been guarding your place for so long, but in the end, the two of you went back to the Feng family freely, leaving me here alone to nibble on burgers! You two are too much!!!"

Feng Ling coughed and lowered her voice to say: "I met with some trouble outside today, so..."

"I don't care, I don't want to listen to explanations! Anyway, Li Nanheng offended me! I won't call him my cousin-in-law anymore!" Qin Shuke was so angry that she slammed the phone down. After thinking about it, she still felt unhappy. Before leaving, she saw the pair of men's slippers on the ground and stepped on it harshly several times before rushing out.

Hearing that the call had been hung up, Feng Ling put down her phone and turned to look at Li Nanheng who was still sitting by the bed as if nothing had happened.

"You left Qin Shuke at home and didn't even call her to let her go home?"

Li Nanheng glanced at her. His attitude was sincere and serious without any hint of regret. "Oh, she's still there? I don't have her number."

Feng Ling: "..."

She was so angry that her temples were throbbing. This man was always irresponsible and unreliable with others!

Feng Ling knew that Qin Shuke was probably in a fit of anger. Based on her understanding of her, it would take at least forty-eight hours for her to respond to them again. She lowered her head and held her phone, sending Qin Shuke a message to apologize.

As she was doing so, she suddenly felt a warm breeze on her hair. She turned her head and saw that Li Nanheng had brought the hairdryer out from the bathroom and was drying her hair.

She turned back to glance at him. "It's useless to coax me now. The one who's angry is Qin Shuke."

"En, what did she say?" Li Nanheng was indifferent. His hand gently lifted her hair. He had never done such a thing before and was not very good at blowing. However, he still tried his best to maintain a certain distance from her hair as he slowly blew.

"She said that she would never call you cousin-in-law again."

"Oh, she can call me whatever she wants. In any case, the position of your husband is mine."

Feng Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After sending the message, she turned back and snatched the hairdryer back. "I'll blow it myself. Go back to the guest room to sleep."

Li Nanheng had no intention of leaving: "The guest room is too cold."

"It's summer now!"

"Oh, that means it's too hot. There's no air-conditioning."

"How can there be no air-conditioning?!"

"I sat on your bed for a while just now. The softness is not bad. I should be able to sleep as soon as I touch the bed. I promise I'll only hug you to sleep. I definitely won't do anything to you in the Feng family," the man said confidently.

It would be strange if she believed him!

Feng Ling glared at him. "You also know that this is the Feng family? My grandparents are already so old. They're not old people who are so open-minded about everything. If they find out that you're sleeping here, it's hard to guarantee that they won't be angry. Quickly go back to your room. I've been tormented by you for two to three days. Can't you let me sleep alone for a night?"

Knock, knock. Someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Feng Ling paused with the hairdryer in her hand and glared at Li Nanheng again, indicating for him to jump back from where he came from and to return to the room next door.

The man only took the hairdryer from her hand and turned to return to the bathroom. He had no intention of hiding.

Feng Ling wanted to scold him, but the man had already gone to the bathroom. She couldn't call him right now, or else he would definitely be heard. She could only walk to the door and open it halfway. She saw Grandmother Feng standing outside. "Grandma?"

"When are you and Nanheng going back to Los Angeles?" Seeing that her door was only half open, even if she couldn't see anything, she didn't push the door open. Instead, she stood outside and asked with a smile.

"In the next two days. This time, I came back to New York mainly to treat his eyes. I'm also here to accompany Shuke to attend several dinner parties of business partners that previously helped the Feng Corporation. The schedule is almost over." Seeing that she had no intention of coming in, Feng Ling released her hand from the door. The little worry she had earlier was gone.

Grandmother Feng smiled kindly. "Then let's go back together. I'll take a separate car with your grandfather and a few of our servants. When we return to Los Angeles, the Feng family's relatives will come to help us pack up. You two don't have to trouble yourselves. Live well together. Besides, Nanheng isn't young anymore. You should get married soon."

Feng Ling looked at the old lady and nodded. "I know."

"You child, you've been living on your own since you were young. All you've learned is how to live day by day as well as possible, but you're much more sensible than most of the children who have been spoiled at home. Grandma's heart aches for you, and she hopes that everything will go smoothly for you in the future. Your grandfather and I won't interfere carelessly in your matters. When you wish to marry one day, let us know and I guarantee that the dowry will be in place. We won't let you suffer any unfair treatment or grievances. Your grandfather and I will compensate you with the love and longing your parents had for you."
