Chapter 1122: The Story of Ling and Heng (385)

This Feng Ling, even though she was extremely beautiful, her character was cold and distant. Even though her features were gentle, her distinct beauty was not of the gentle sort. Her soft and mild charm made it difficult for one to take their eyes off of her.

She was the living example of countless contradictions, yet it all seemed to make sense when one watched her.

Feng Ling came forward. “I thought you would take longer to come. I went downstairs to buy some things.”

After speaking, she pulled the door open. “Miss Wen, please come in.”

Wen Leqing entered the room and placed her bag down. She received the slippers Feng Ling handed to her and scanned the place as she changed her shoes. “Feng Ling, are you staying here alone? Recently, I’ve been busy with my own matters and haven’t asked much about you. I don’t even know when you moved out from my house, or when you moved to this hotel.”

Feng Ling paused. “I moved here several days ago. Several of the old enemies I made when I used to take on missions in America found me. Thankfully, I wasn’t seriously injured.”

Wen Leqing walked in after changing her shoes and was about to hold Feng Ling’s elbow when she felt her stiffening. She became conscious of her injuries and became gentler. “Where were you injured? Let me take a look?”

“There’s no need for that. I’m almost fully recovered.”

“I’m a doctor. Let me have a look. This way, I’ll feel more at ease.”

Hearing these words, Feng Ling did not stop her. Wen Leqing tugged aside her clothes and checked through her wounds, as well as the bruises on her neck before nodding. “It’s all surface wounds. Those men dared to do as they pleased in America, but it’s likely they didn’t have the courage to do the same here. Thankfully, weapons aren’t as easily shipped in either. Otherwise, if they really pursued you with the intention to kill, who knows what could have happened.”

“En, indeed.”

Wen Leqing walked around the large room and checked the place out before saying. “This room is slightly too big. This should be the best business suite offered in this hotel. There are more than three bedrooms; this is even bigger than a typical family’s home. Even if you’re not lacking in money, you’re not the kind to stay in this sort of room casually. And it seems like...” She scanned the pair of men’s slippers set by the doorway. “There’s a man staying here with you, isn’t it?”

Feng Ling: “...I thought you knew.”

Wen Leqing paused and turned back to watch her. “What do I know? The man you’re staying with? How could I possibly? I don’t even have sufficient time to deal with my own matters right now.”

“I’ve been staying here temporarily to nurse my wounds. Right now, there are still men in pursuit of me. Staying here with him is more suitable; otherwise, I might implicate others. Besides, there are so many bedrooms here. We sleep separately. There’s not much to it.”

“Who is this man? Do I know him?”

In fact, Wen Leqing was not too surprised that there was a man taking care of Feng Ling. After all, even though Feng Ling was cold and distant, it was precisely her reticent, aloof and difficult-to-control character that made her attractive to many men; for them, a woman like this was challenging and all the more charming for it. Previously, she had also watched several of her colleagues and friends tear themselves up in order to pursue women that were difficult to obtain; they even proudly announced that this sort of women were exactly their type.

Feng Ling was quiet, but even so, her charm was impossible to conceal. Not only did men find her attractive, even most women would not dislike her.

“...Li Nanheng.”

Wen Leqing: “...”

Wen Leqing had considered many possibilities. The one person who did not come to mind was Li Nanheng, whom Feng Ling had previously rejected deeply.

“Feng Ling, Nanheng and you...” She watched Feng Ling and asked: “Is it still possible for the two of you to have a conclusion? It’s been so many years; you’ve both been intertwined with each other for a long time. Indeed, he has always been very loyal to you. He has never mentioned the things that happened with the Feng family. Back then, only a single news report was released. Besides you, no other women have ever appeared by Nanheng’s side. In fact, most of us have always suspected if he is truly married. Nanheng has never explained this matter to us. Did he explain it to you?”

Feng Ling looked down at the ground.

He had explained to her more than once.

Was there truly no other women?

If he was truly married; if he had really taken someone else to be his wife, it was impossible that she had never shown up before. Besides, Li Nanheng spent most of his time at the XI Base. The base was so crowded and people tended to have loose lips. If there was truly another woman, the so-called Mrs. Li would have long been exposed.

But it seemed like the truth was as Li Nanheng had said.

He did not have another woman.

Feng Ling: “...Los Angeles isn’t a small place. If the news released at the time were false, the Feng and Li family would have corrected them. No matter if it’s true or false, there’s also not much point to pursuing this anymore.”

“Why is there no point to pursuing this? If Nanheng really didn’t marry anyone, this means that you have been misunderstanding him over the years. It means that your relationship was delayed for three years. If the truth is revealed, shouldn’t you rush to throw yourself into his arms and continue having a good, loving relationship with him! You see, you met with a small problem and Nanheng has been staying right by your side to protect you. Where are you supposed to look for a man like him!”

“It’s not as complicated as you think. I only received some surface wounds. He doesn’t want me to act alone, so he told me to stay here. It’s not what you have in mind...”

Wen Leqing watched her as though she was looking at a blockhead that wouldn’t learn to be smart no matter what. “Can you tell me, have you ever been serious about Li Nanheng?”

Feng Ling was silent for a long moment. Finally, as Wen Leqing approached to stare at her closely, as though she was trying to see through her, Feng Ling answered softly: “Yes.”

Wen Leqing instantly smiled bright. For the past few days, she had not smiled in this manner because of the matters with her brother. Right now, she was smiling as though she was in an extremely good mood. “That means everything can be easily resolved!”

“The two of us were close when we were in the XI Base; perhaps back then, it was because I was the only woman in the base and there were no other options, and so he settled for me.”

Wen Leqing: “...”

Everyone said that a man’s emotional intelligence can never compete against a woman’s. The word ‘blockhead’ was also often used to describe men.

But using it to describe Feng Ling was truly the most suitable.

“Settled for you? Are you trying to say that at the time you were also only settling?”

“...Perhaps.”

Wen Leqing’s eyelid twitched. Her gaze casually shifted onto the person who had chosen this moment to push open the door and enter.
