Chapter 1079: The Story of Ling and Heng (342)

“If you didn’t marry Feng Mingzhu, who else can it be?”

“I can’t call you brother-in-law, while I continue on shamelessly liking you.”

Those two lines kept replaying itself in his mind and, as Li Nanheng watched Feng Ling’s face, his gaze abruptly and harshly faltered.

Something he had never considered; something he had never dared to consider, seemed as though it was about to burst apart and take over his mind.

He suddenly thought of Mrs. Feng, Qin Qiu, and her mother when they first saw Feng Ling, and the expressions they had when they asked if she was a man or a woman and what her age was.

Even after, whenever Qin Qiu’s mother met him, she would casually ask why Feng Ling wasn’t with him. She would also ask a lot about Feng Ling’s matters.

He once believed the old lady was only remembering the debt of gratitude he owed to Feng Ling. Besides, old people were always concerned for children that were around Feng Ling’s age. Thus, he never thought too much about it.

Why did Feng Ling coincidentally have the surname Feng? This wasn’t a common surname in America. Without a good reason, an orphan wouldn’t coincidentally take on such a surname.

She had thought he was marrying Feng Mingzhu, and that she would have to address him as brother-in-law?

That cenotaph he had married into his family; it was now considered his family’s responsibility and was already resting in his family’s land. With just a bit more time, he would have been married for three years. He would soon regain his freedom.

The pitiful second daughter from the Feng family that had fallen into the ocean when she was one year old had been missing ever since. They could not find her corpse but no one had believed a one year old girl would be able to survive such a fall.

Various incidents revolved in Li Nanheng’s mind and they slowly added up.

As he watched Feng Ling who was deep asleep, for the first time in his life, he was nervous and agitated to the point where a thin layer of sweat was covering his palms.

——

It was already 6:30 a.m. The breakfast Xiao Xu had ordered was already there.

Xiao Xu received the dining cart and pushed it in front of the room. He was about to knock on the door when it suddenly swung open.

Could it be that he came at the wrong time? Why did Boss’s expression appear so...

Was he about to be shot down the way Assistant Shen had suffered?

However, Li Nanheng only took one look at the breakfast before saying calmly: “Arrange for her to meet Mrs. Mo when she wakes up. I’m heading back to America.”

“Ah?” Xiao Xu was dumbfounded: “Boss, haven’t you already informed Mr. Mo that you’ll send her over personally?”

“This old man has more important matters to deal with right now. It involves the most important event in my life. I’m heading back to do some investigation. Watch her properly and tell Mo Jingshen, if she suffers even the slightest loss or grievance in Hai City, this old man won’t care if his surname is Mo [1. Mo means black ink] or white. I’ll take his life either way.”

Xiao Xu: “...”

What?

The most important event in his life?

Since ancient times, weren’t promotions, wealth, and marriage considered the most important events in a man’s life?

There was definitely no need for promotions. Boss’s position was already more than sufficient. He also wasn’t lacking in money. Was it then... related to marrying a wife?

Xiao Xu’s expression was filled with questions, but Li Nanheng did not wait for even a moment. He directly walked around the cart and expressionlessly brushed past Xiao Xu’s shoulders. He then decisively and quickly left the place.

Xiao Xu turned back to look at Boss Li’s rapidly disappearing backview. He was somewhat at a loss.

He then pushed the breakfast cart in only to realize that Feng Ling was actually still sleeping.

Xiao Xu pursed his lips and could only leave the cart by the side. He recalled earlier that Boss Li had mentioned Feng Ling was not allowed to suffer any grievance. He destroyed any thoughts of waking her up and could only leave to wait outside.

Last night, Feng Ling had drunk alcohol on the plane and after arriving at the hotel, she had slept for an entire afternoon. Finally, as the bright afternoon sun caused her to furrowed her brows uncomfortably, she flipped over on the bed and gradually woke up. She abruptly recalled she had been on the plane preparing to head for Hai City, where was she now?

She abruptly opened her eyes to the sight of an unfamiliar hotel room. She sat up and scanned her surroundings. There was no one else in the room. She was the only one here.

After sitting on the bed for a long moment, she still could not recall how she had arrived here. She searched around and found her phone. She checked for the time and saw that it was already past 12:00 p.m.

She had actually slept for that long?

How did she manage to get off the plane..

At this moment, a knock resounded against the door. Xiao Xu’s voice could be heard from outside: “Feng Ling, are you still asleep?”

Feng Ling had a headache. She lifted her hand and rubbed her forehead but could not recall anything. She got off the bed and opened the door.

Xiao Xu saw that she was awake and instantly smiled. “In the morning, Boss instructed me to prepare breakfast for you before he left, but you drank too much and only just woke up. The breakfast can’t be eaten anymore. I’ll call someone to prepare something else. Go wash up. I’ll come call you when the food is ready.”

Feng Ling’s hand remained pressed against her forehead. She watched him in confusion: “How did I get off the plane?”

“Do you think I piggybacked you off the plane, or was it Boss Li who carried you off of it?” Xiao Xu kept her in suspense.

Feng Ling: “...”

She watched Xiao Xu for a while and recalled Li Nanheng’s recent apathetic attitude toward her: “You piggybacked me?”

Xiao Xu watched her with resentment at how poorly she was meeting expectations; she was so dense. It was no wonder Boss and her were enduring so many obstacles. From the beginning, Boss Li had no intentions of actually neglecting her. He was just angered by her. Couldn’t she tell? With Boss Li around, how could any other men have the opportunity to give her a piggyback ride?

What a silly young lady.

Xiao Xu made a spitting sound: “You’re wrong! Quickly go wash up! I can smell the scent of alcohol from you!”

Feng Ling quickly then took a step back. She felt slightly embarrassed by the scent of alcohol clinging onto her, but she truly did not expect to be this affected by that bottle of red wine. She had never slept so deeply and defenselessly before.

After Xiao Xu left, she closed the door and deliberated for a moment before entering the bathroom. When she saw that the toilet seat cover was closed, she stared at it in confusion. She did not understand why it was so. However, she quickly entered the shower.

After taking off her clothes to stand under the water, she suddenly recalled Xiao Xu had said she guessed wrongly.

So, Li Nanheng had carried her off the plane?

Had she been that drunk? He had come to Hai City with her because he was also headed here. Yet, in the end, he had to carry her drunken self off of the plane. He was likely very annoyed by her at the moment.

As Feng Ling deliberated over it, she couldn’t help but grip her hair in frustration. She was somewhat vexed.

In the future, she would never drink so much again.

Earlier, Xiao Xu said his boss had instructed him before leaving. Did this mean that Li Nanheng had already left?
