Chapter 1129: The Story of Ling and Heng (392)

Feng Ling rushed to cover her ear. She looked up at him: “Don’t...”

The man paused slightly but he did not back away. He watched her closely and scanned her reddened ears and the composed expression she was struggling to hold onto: “So sensitive?”

Feng Ling covered her reddened ears to say: “My injuries are almost healed. Tomorrow evening, Mrs. Mo will be participating in an event. Although she didn’t ask me to go with her, this is still part of my job. I plan to resume working by her side tomorrow. I can’t keep using these small wounds as an excuse to laze around; I would be letting down Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo’s trust in me.”

“So?”

The man asked while checking the wounds on her elbow. Based on the way injuries were usually treated in the XI Base, this was indeed nothing to be concerned about. However, if Ji Nuan were to see them, she would likely chase Feng Ling off to rest at home.

“So don’t kiss anymore. If you leave any marks... How am I supposed to see Mrs. Mo tomorrow.” Feng Ling coughed. “I’m already injured. She’ll definitely check underneath my clothes.”

Li Nanheng was quiet. He lowered his head to watch her.

Although the man did not speak, his gaze was slightly hot. Feng Ling lifted her hands and adjusted her collar. She glanced at him, indicating with her eyes.

Li Nanheng suddenly chuckled and asked casually: “What did you think I was going to do to you?”

“...”

Not only were Feng Ling’s ears hot, she felt that even her face was burning up. She immediately said: “I’m returning to the bedroom to shower!”

She abruptly made to leave.

As Feng Ling walked around him, the man leaned down. Feng Ling faltered as her lips almost came into contact with his face. She lifted her head to see that the man was smiling at her.

“...” She glared at him.

“I’m at the very least your boyfriend. It’s fine if you won’t come to the evening party with me, but you should at least give me a kiss before you sleep.”

“...”

Boyfriend.

Previously, even when they were back in the base and in love, they had never addressed each other this way.

Was he considered her boyfriend now?

If he hadn’t forgotten that night on that snowy mountain, right now, he would already be loudly declaring himself as her man.

Feng Ling watched him without a change in expression: “It’s my responsibility to protect Mrs. Mo. This is unrelated to attending the evening party with you. Besides, for the past few years, we’ve both become used to being occupied with our own matters. What need is there to accompany...”

“Did you think that I like you so that you can keep giving me the cold-shoulder?”

“But...”

“There’s no buts. I’m asking if you will kiss me.”

“...”

“What can a kiss do?”

“It’ll make me happy.”

Feng Ling stared at him speechlessly. She then looked at his lips and at his face. Although she wasn’t short, when she stood in front of this man, the contrast between their heights was distinct. She lifted her head and quickly planted a kiss on his cheek before pushing him away to escape: “All right, I’m going to shower!”

The man chuckled in satisfaction and reached out to drag her back into his arms. He lowered his head to give her a deep kiss. Finally, when Feng Ling glared at him for not keeping his word, he kissed the corner of her lips gently: “Go on.”

He dragged his words out, his tone carrying slight dissatisfaction, helplessness, and silent doting.

When the man finally released her, Feng Ling escaped as though her feet had been brushed with a layer of oil. She returned to her room to shower.

——

Feng Ling woke up at 9.30 a.m. the next day. Her eyes shifted onto the clock out of habit. Last night, she had stepped out of her bedroom after her shower to see that Li Nanheng was in the midst of a phone call. From his conversation, it sounded like he had quite some matters to deal with in T City. Thus, she did not disturb him. She returned to her room to dry her hair and went straight to the bed.

Right now, it was already late; she had yet to contact Ji Nuan.

She immediately became fully awake and sat up.

She left the bedroom to see that she was the only person in the room.

She picked up her phone and called Ji Nuan. After arranging a suitable time to meet Ji Nuan tonight, she called Li Nanheng.

Li Nanheng answered her call very quickly.

Feng Ling rarely took the initiative to call him. The man was currently in a car, rushing toward a particular exhibition show. He casually placed the thick set of documents he was holding down on his lap. He answered with a smile: “Good morning, Miss Feng.”

Feng Ling was not too used to the sudden change in atmosphere between them. However, since the misunderstanding was already cleared, she did not wish to make things difficult for them anymore. After all, she was well aware of whom her heart belonged to.

She asked with some awkwardness: “You went out already?”

“En. I have quite some matters to deal with today. I need to personally attend a business partner’s evening party tonight. After accompanying Ji Nuan in the evening, are you coming back to the hotel or will you go to T University with her?”

“I’m not sure. I’ll decide based on the time the event ends.”

“If it’s late, I’ll go to T University to pick you up?”

“...You’re picking me up? But if Mrs. Mo sees this, how am I supposed to explain...”

“Do you think Ji Nuan is dumb? Can’t she recognize the situation between us?”

“...”

That was also true. Previously, when Mr. Mo came by, it was clear from their tones that they both knew something. They simply didn’t state it out in the open.

“Where is that event you’re accompanying her to?”

“I’m not sure yet. I’ll find out after I see her in the afternoon.”

“Give me a call after you’ve confirmed it. I’ll pick you up in the evening.”

“En.”

Feng Ling hung up the phone and immediately went to wash up. Before leaving the hotel, she also gave Wen Leqing a call. However, the call did not go through. She seemed to be quite busy. Feng Ling recalled that Wen Leqing wasn’t very cheerful these days and did not continue calling her. It was better to wait for her to reach out when she felt comfortable.

——-

Wen Leqing had signed a three months long contract to be a guest professor at this medical school and was in charge of discussing various Western medicine ideas and sharing about her experiences working as a doctor. However, as she disliked standing out, she spent most of her time helping the seniors that had come to work with her. She avoided drawing attention to herself and was extremely low-profile.

Today, she was headed to the Provincial Central Hospital to conduct some clinical experiments and teachings. She heard that the hospital had invited various renowned medical professionals to attend and observe.

After arriving at the hospital, Wen Leqing and her seniors rushed off to change into their light green protective suits. They then wore their masks and headed to the conference room specially prepared for them. Right as they were about to enter the conference room, Wen Leqing lifted her head to see the people standing outside the conference room. One of them was especially tall. He was dressed in a long, white doctor’s robe and standing there quietly. He seemed to be engaged in a conversation with the hospital director.

The instant he sensed her gaze, he turned and met her eyes.
