Chapter 1413: The Story of Ling and Heng (676)
“It’s rare for Mr. Ian to visit America. Are you here to discuss financial cooperation?” Feng Ling asked.
“Yes.”
“Is this your first time in America?”
“Not really. I’ve been here several times, but this is really my first time in New York.” Seeing that Feng Ling took the initiative to continue chatting, Ian’s gaze became much gentler. His expression as he looked at her was exactly the same as when he was in England.
Feng Ling curved her lips and said without changing her expression, “Since it’s your first time in New York, you are not too familiar with many things here. So, it’s better not to take the rumors in New York’s business circle seriously.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m talking about the rumors about me in these people’s mouths.” Feng Ling’s voice was quiet and indifferent. “Whether it was back in England or now, I’ve never been alone...”
Before she could finish speaking, there was a commotion outside the banquet hall.
Hearing the voice and seeing that the people around seemed to be talking, Feng Ling instinctively turned her head.
When she glanced at the entrance of the banquet hall, she saw a familiar figure walking through the crowd. Very quickly, the ink-black night sky merged into the dazzling banquet hall.
Today, in order to be Qin Shuke’s companion, she was wearing a deep V-neck black gown. Although it was sexy, it did not reveal any parts that she should not. She held a wine glass. Her gaze shifted slightly and landed on that person.
The surroundings were still filled with laughter.
In everyone’s eyes, they were all intoxicated by money.
Feng Ling’s gaze landed on the man. She saw the man’s figure clearly and realized that he had accurately found her direction. His gaze was fixed on her. Their eyes met across the sea of people and he walked over without hesitation.
After confirming that his eyes were really looking at her and that his eyes were dark and bright, Feng Ling’s heart tightened and jumped.
“Mr. Li?”
“Is that CEO Li?”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard any news about CEO Li.”
“When did CEO Li come to New York? Does anyone related to the Li Corporation know?”
“I’m not sure. Recently, I haven’t heard any news about Mr. Li...”
There were whispers all around, but Feng Ling was staring straight at Li Nanheng. Her grip on the wine glass had tightened countless times.
He could see!
It’s the weekend today. Didn’t Doctor Yorko said he will be discharged tomorrow? Was he discharged tonight?
Without waiting for her to react, the man approached her with a familiar, cold aura. He was as cold as ever and was unwilling to give others a second glance. He stepped forward and glanced at her: “Why didn’t Qin Shuke come with you? Did she leave you here alone?”
At the same time, Li Nanheng decisively took off his black suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders. He covered all of the sexiness and fairness of her V-neck dress. At the same time, he held her with his long arm, silently declaring his ownership of her.
“Oh my god, Li... cough, cousin-in-law, did you specially kill your way here from the hospital?” Qin Shuke reacted to what had happened and rushed over. However, because Li Nanheng was here, his aura still caused her to shrink to the side out of habit. She didn’t dare to get too close and only whispered, “I didn’t leave her alone. I was fighting with two scums, okay? The distance between me and Feng Ling isn’t more than three meters. Besides, she’s so good at fighting. If anything happens, she’ll be the one protecting me. What can I do with her?”
This ‘cousin-in-law’ successfully reduced the coldness in Li Nanheng’s eyes. He glanced at Qin Shuke and seemed to praise her for being sensible.
Feng Ling was speechless for a while.
The people around them were discussing spiritedly. After all, back then, there seemed to be something fishy between this Feng family’s second daughter and Li Nanheng. The circle had also spread for a while, but after not seeing any ripples, no one continued mentioning it.
Who would have thought that it was true?
He had put on his jacket in front of everyone and hugged her. It was clear that their feelings were deep to a certain extent. Furthermore, he was arrogant and unperturbed. There was no need to hide anything in front of everyone.
The moment Ian saw Li Nanheng, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes. He then seemed to understand what Feng Ling wanted to say. Although he was a little embarrassed, fortunately, nothing too embarrassing happened. He only smiled. “Mr. Li, nice to meet you.”
Li Nanheng glanced at him with a fake smile, but he didn’t even look at him. He didn’t reply and only raised his hand to touch his little wife’s hair. He spoke in a low voice that only she could hear: “Didn’t you say you wanted to cut your hair short to welcome a new light for me? In the end, you dressed so sexily and your long hair fluttered as you stood here for another man to see?”
Feng Ling’s eyelids twitched and she abruptly glared at him. “I just casually wore a gown. Qin Shuke ordered it for me, so I wore it.”
“Whatever? You sure are casual in such a small outfit. I was lying in the hospital when I felt my head turn green. Thankfully, I rushed here in time. Otherwise, this English guy would have brought you to the rooftop to lay out the roses.” Li Nanheng glanced at the deep V-neck on her chest as though he despised her. He directly tightened his grip on her suit jacket, wishing he could button it up for her.
“Li Nanheng, do you think you’re capable now that you can see? You...”
Feng Ling wanted to scold him, but she held it in. For a moment, she couldn’t care less about the gazes of everyone around her. She stared at his eyes for a long time and saw that there were only small pin holes around his eyes. There were indeed no obvious wounds, but because he had just undergone postoperative recovery, his eyelids looked a little paler than usual. The skin of his eyes also seemed to have been applied with a lot of medicine. In fact, it was only swollen. However, when the man’s eyes were swollen, they were only slightly bigger. Those who didn’t know would think that he had just woken up and there was nothing wrong with him. Furthermore, he had gained quite a bit of weight recently. He was indeed not much different from before.
She paused and continued to stare into his eyes. “Can you really see?”
Li Nanheng glanced at her: “I saw you smiling happily at another man earlier. Do you think I should go back to being blind?”
Feng Ling: “...”
