Chapter 1322: The Story of Ling and Heng (585)
Li Nanheng and Mr. Mike went to the front to discuss some matters. Feng Ling was still standing in the same place, but when she turned back, she met Li Nanheng’s gaze. Before he left, he glanced at her again, his dark and cold eyes sweeping over her.
Feng Lingshen felt that tonight’s incident was a big misunderstanding. Firstly, she didn’t expect CEO E would use such an unsightly method to test if she had any sexual intentions. Secondly, CEO E also didn’t expect that Li Nanheng would care about these things. Furthermore, she and Li Nanheng actually had such an ambiguous relationship.
In fact, even she did not expect things to turn out this way. Hearing the man’s footsteps leaving, she turned back to pick up a glass of wine and took a sip. With the help of the slightly cold red wine, she forcefully suppressed the burning sensation in her throat.
“Miss Feng, are you all right?” Knowing that Feng Ling and Li Nanheng had a special relationship, the people nearby noticed her and asked her in concern.
Feng Ling held the wine glass in her hand and turned back with a faint smile. “I’m fine.”
“You and CEO Li...” The man was curious and hesitant.
“Mr. Li is just joking.” Feng Ling didn’t want to explain further. She smiled apologetically at the man and turned to leave with her glass.
In fact, Li Nanheng was very calm and rational when it came to many things. However, once she was violated or treated too harshly, no matter if it was in the base or here, he would lose his cool and rationality. Even the word ‘magnanimous’ would no longer exist.
He might really be able to vent his anger on all the businessmen present tonight.
In fact, Feng Ling didn’t even know that she would meet him here tonight, and what would happen to her if she didn’t cooperate with him.
—
Although Mr. Mike was old, he was a very important person at the dinner party tonight.
What they needed to talk about was the win-win relationship between the various companies. This conversation lasted for about half an hour.
Half an hour later, Li Nanheng scanned the crowd but didn’t see Feng Ling. He frowned slightly.
“Excuse me.” The man left these two words before turning to leave.
“...”
Feng Ling couldn’t leave now. After all, what happened just now hadn’t ended. If she left without saying anything, the biggest impact would be Feng Corporation’s reputation in the industry.
Taking advantage of the fact that she had nothing to do for the time being, she went to the backyard of the villa and found a large swimming pool. Around the pool was a unique European style garden.
When she walked out, the waiter in the guest hall thoughtfully handed her a coat, saying that it was dark and cold outside. If she wanted to go out to breathe, she should wear more clothes.
After thanking him, Feng Ling put on her coat and stood by the pool, looking at the huge blue pool.
The guests were still chatting and laughing in the banquet hall behind her. There were not many people here. Occasionally, one or two people would pass by, but they were only gardeners or servants in the villa. In this villa, there were only beautiful gardens with many lights installed. The night view and lights in the garden were also well-designed. It did not make people feel uncomfortable because they were on the mountain. Instead, the environment was good, the air was good, and everything was pleasant. The premise was that CEO E did not have the hobbies of seducing all sorts of women. He really had a good taste.
Feng Ling stood silently by the pool. A breeze blew past, causing the water to ripple.
She stared at the ripples on the surface of the water and remembered the warning in Li Nanheng’s eyes.
Since she had already entered the business world, she had to learn to be independent.
In the past, she didn’t like to rely on others. Did she have to rely on Li Nanheng now?
As long as he was around, many of the difficult problems she had to face were no longer difficult to deal with. There were even many things she wanted to obtain, and he could easily obtain them with a few words.
This difference was mostly because she didn’t want to. She didn’t want to accept it.
At the very least, she was no match for him in the base.
Sometimes, Feng Ling really wondered if Li Nanheng had added infinite light and color to her life, or if he had added layer after layer of heavy shadows.
If she really couldn’t get this one billion yuan, even if she was unwilling, she would probably be completely dominated by Li Nanheng in the future.
Feng Ling stood for a while longer and prepared to return to the banquet hall.
However, the moment she turned around, a tall and slender figure came into her sight.
The man leaned against the grape trellis between the villa and the swimming pool. No one knew how long he stood there. The lighting in the garden behind was beautiful and fell on his face, but his face was hidden under the shadow of the grape trellis. His expression could not be seen clearly. Only the spark of the extinguished cigarette butt between his fingers flickered.
If Feng Ling, who was still in XI Base, really turned around and left when she found him an eyesore, she wouldn’t even bother to talk to him.
But that time, Li Nanheng said that he loved her for more than ten years.
He had almost stripped her of her clothes in the sweat room in the orphanage. She had provoked him with the secret code made of small stones in the jungle outside the orphanage, and then entered the base. From the age of fourteen to the years after that, his shadow had always been in her life.
Even she did not expect that she would be entangled with this man for so long.
More than ten years. Life was unpredictable. How many years could one live?
She understood her own temper too well. She was stubborn, careful, and could not tolerate sand in her eyes. She did not like to turn back and was often stubborn and cold to the point where it was unbearable.
However, Li Nanheng insisted on loving her for so many years. Even if he did, he never gave her a chance to be jealous.
Although she was angry, she did not want to force the path between them to be too difficult. That was why she made such a bet. She would either marry him and be entangled with him for the rest of her life, or they would separate and never see each other again.
Perhaps because they had been entangled with each other for too long, she did not have the patience and energy to nurture her relationship with another person. Even if she could endure it and nurture love with someone else, who could catch her eye?
Xiao Ba had said that she was the same as Ji Nuan. The first time she learned to love, she met the best one.
