Chapter 1379: Chapter 1379 - The Story of Ling and Heng (642)

“Besides, I was the one who brought you back. If I don’t take the initiative, what if you look for Carrie? Wouldn’t I lose more than I gain?” Feng Ling said as she reached out to touch his collar, smoothing out the creases she had just made.

Li Nanheng seemed puzzled for a moment. “Do you have a deep impression of this Carrie? Do you feel threatened by her existence?”

“...”

“If I had known that you would change so much just by being jealous, I would have arranged more women by my side.” The man spoke shamelessly, but because he was thin and pale, his shameless words seemed harmless.

Feng Ling: “...That’s different.”

The man “looked” at her and did not speak, but he clearly wanted to know what she meant by different.

“Take Feng Mingzhu, for example. A person’s unilateral initiative and fondness can’t constitute anything. There has never been a lack of suitors around outstanding people. So, even if other women appear by your side, as long as they’re not what you want, there’s nothing for me to be jealous of.” Feng Ling’s voice was cold. “But Carrie saved you. I have to admit that if she didn’t bring you back, would you have died there? And she did blush at you afterward. For a young girl to be in such a state, it means that she was very superficial and lost herself in the beauty of someone she had only known for a few days. Furthermore, she saw you naked.”

Li Nanheng did not speak for a while.

She seemed to have considered this question carefully.

He wondered if Carrie was worth considering.

Seeing that he was thinking seriously, Feng Ling paused and stared at him.

“From what you said earlier, I can only conclude three things. Firstly, I’m very outstanding.” The man’s voice was quiet, but his words did not make him blush. “Secondly, even though I’m injured to this extent, my appearance is still at its peak.”

Feng Ling:”...”

“Thirdly, you’re very upset about me being seen naked by another woman.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She said coldly, “If a man sees me naked, will you dig out his eyes?”

Li Nanheng smiled and did not answer her. Instead, he said, “So, you repaid the debt I owed when I was rescued at the Gorkin Farm, haven’t you?”

He seemed to have found a more comfortable sitting position on the bed. Every day, he could only rest on the bed. In the past few days, Li Nanheng was used to this slow pace of life. Perhaps because he had just experienced a life and death crisis, his voice had become much gentler and calmer. Although he was still very shameless earlier, he was not especially deserving of a beating.

“First of all, you didn’t gouge her eyes out. Secondly, you personally arranged the return trip to China for her and her grandmother, including the funds, and helped them realize their dream of returning to a peaceful world from a war-torn land. With this, you successfully flattened the debt owed between her and me. From now on, there will be no longer any debt owed between us. My act of looking for someone to repay her kindness now is akin to drawing a snake to its feet, and there will be no more contact in the future. Although I was seen naked, at the time, I was injured and covered in blood. Even if a doctor saw me, I wouldn’t suffer any loss. If you’re really sorry, after I recover, I’ll use disinfectant to wash my body forty-nine times. What do you think?”

Back then, Feng Ling had only agreed to send them back to China to repay their kindness. She didn’t overthink it.

Li Nanheng’s words instantly soothed the knot in her heart.

At this moment, Feng Ling’s phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket. Although Li Nanheng could not see, his senses were always very sensitive when he closed his eyes, especially his ears.

Hearing that her phone was vibrating, he did not say anything more, clearly waiting for her to pick up the call.

Her phone vibrated for a long time before Feng Ling took it out of her pocket. When she saw that it was a call from Qin Shuke, she directly answered it.

“How is it? Is Li Nanheng out of danger? After you returned to America, you contacted me once. After that, you didn’t tell me you were safe for so many days. Right now, I’m stuck with those senior executives of the Feng Corporation who have a lot of things to do. I really can’t go to Los Angeles to see you. If there’s any situation, you have to tell me. Don’t hold it in. I understand you very well. You’re always like this. You’re used to tolerating emotions without batting an eyelid. For example, you actually love Li Nanheng, but you’re just unwilling to express it. If he hadn’t caused trouble and forced you to run to Israel without caring for your safety, even I would have suspected if your heart was made of stone. But in the end, your heart is actually softer than anyone else’s. It’s just that your defenses and walls are too high outside your world...”

The ward was very quiet. Even the windows were closed. Her phone was not loud, but Qin Shuke’s complaining voice could be heard clearly because it was too quiet.

Feng Ling paused in her movements and wanted to stop Qin Shuke from speaking, but it was too late. She heard Qin Shuke say, “Also, what do you mean by those silver tags you handed to me before you left? I didn’t know at that time. Two days ago, I took the time to send a message to K’s brother in the base. I only found out that those small tags mean that you’re going to participate in a battle where you may never return. After you die, this is sent to the families for comfort about their fallen hero! Did you go to Israel with the thought that you might not be able to return?”

“...”

“If Li Nanheng finds out that you risked your life to go to Israel to look for him and even handed me these tags, will he explode in anger?”

Feng Ling: “...Why do you have so much to say?”

“What’s wrong? Aren’t I usually like this...”

Feng Ling hung up the phone and put it in her pocket. She thought for a moment and turned off the phone. When she raised her eyes, she saw that Li Nanheng was still sitting quietly on the bed. She could not see his eyes, nor could she see any changes in his expression.

Feng Ling thought for a moment. Seeing that there was no cup by his bedside, she asked, “How long have you been awake? Earlier, when Ah Feng was here, he kept talking to you. Did he pour you any water?”

She then turned to pour herself a glass of warm water. She tested the temperature and confirmed that it was just right. She walked back to the bed and handed the glass to him.

The man’s fingers moved, and with the help of the sensation, he smoothly received the cup.
