Chapter 984: Chapter 984 - The Story of Ling and Heng (247)

When Qiao Fei introduced her as his girlfriend, were there reporters standing next to them? They even took photos?!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She raised her head once more to look at Li Nanheng; seeing his expression, it was as though he had swallowed explosives.

...No wonder this man suddenly charged back with so much murderous intent.

“I was also surprised to see Deputy Drillmaster Qiao today. He always treated me well back when we were in the base. He said that his parents are forcing him to have an arranged marriage, and asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend and attend the evening party. You see, I didn’t even change my clothes. I was really brought along last minute to help him. I didn’t even get to prepare,” she explained sincerely.

Hearing this, Li Nanheng immediately sneered: “Pretending to be his girlfriend? A trick that no woman in this world would possibly believe in. Only a lady like you who grew up in the forest would fall for it.”

Feng Ling: “...”

“I also treated you quite well in the base. Why do you get mad whenever I kiss you? He told you to pretend to be his girlfriend, and you really just agreed and followed him there?”

“...Boss, I’ll only help him once.”

Feng Ling then coughed. She did not wish to continue this topic. “Boss, I don’t feel too well. I’m a bit tired. I’ll head back first to rest. If you’re busy, feel free to return to the base.”

She then turned to leave.

“Stop right there.”

Feng Ling originally wanted to leave, but when she heard the man’s unkind tone, she could only stop. She turned around silently to look at him: “Boss.”

Li Nanheng was much taller than her. He looked down at her composed expression and took large strides forward to approach. Before Feng Ling could understand his intentions, she felt his grip around her wrist. The man pulled her sleeve out. The hidden bloodstains were immediately revealed.

Feng Ling: “...”

“What is this?” Li Nanheng watched her coldly.

Feng Ling saw that it was impossible to conceal it any further and attempted to tug her wrist back. However, the man’s grip was firm. He watched her coldly: “You went to attend an evening party, to pretend to be someone else’s girlfriend, and casually dipped your hands in some blood before returning?”

“There were a group of people from the underworld causing trouble at the evening party. I saw that they had taken Feng Mingzhu hostage. Although I’m not too fond of her, she’s still an innocent victim. So I helped her a little. This isn’t my blood. I’m not injured,” Feng Ling tried to retrieve her hand while she spoke. However, after a long while, she still could not escape the man’s hold.

She stopped struggling and watched him: “Boss, let go.”

She furrowed her brows in displeasure when all of a sudden, a sharp pain came from her chin. Even she did not notice that there was a small wound there. It was hidden right under her chin, on her lower jaw, where it was difficult to spot. When the man’s finger brushed past her wound, her expression faltered from the pain. She finally then realized that she was injured, although it was faint and extremely small.

“Don’t let yourself get injured again.” The man saw that she was hurting and lowered his hand. “Go back and apply some medicine and disinfect the wound.” After speaking, the man held her wrist and tugged her along to return to the condo.

Feng Ling silently followed him. She lifted her head to look at the man’s tall and broad figure and pursed her lips lightly.

Earlier, at the evening party, an image had suddenly appeared in her mind; if she didn’t manage to successfully leave the place, would Li Nanheng suddenly appear, just as he did every single time she found herself trapped in a situation? Just like in a movie, arriving grandly to rescue her...

Although it was a scene that only flashed by her mind for an instant, and she had successfully escaped the situation on her own, but after being confronted by him the moment she returned, she really felt a little flustered.

She discovered that it seemed like she was really losing control over her heart.

She was a child brought up by wolves, clueless about her own identity and what it meant to be feminine. Could she really fall in love like a normal girl?

He said this before, wolves are loyal for life.

She was also loyal. Once she acknowledged someone, no one else could take his place.

But when it came to Li Nanheng’s identity and matters outside of the base, there was too much she could not understand. She did not have the courage nor was she sure if she should approach.

She also didn’t wish to appear too delicate.

This was because she just discovered; it seemed like she liked him.

Really liked him.

——

Li Nanheng brought her back to the condo. After closing the door, he coldly instructed her to sit still on the couch.

Feng Ling sat down obediently. The man then brought over several cotton buds and a bottle of disinfectant. He watched her coldly and bent down to clean her wound simply. The stinging pain caused by the disinfectant was slightly difficult to bear, but she did not move. Her gaze was fixed on him as she sat silently.

Li Nanheng applied the medicine on her wound and scanned her with his black eyes, eventually meeting her gaze.

The man’s brows shifted slightly. He abruptly asked coldly: “What are you looking at? Is your heart moved?”

Feng Ling: “...” She immediately looked away and stood up: “My clothes are dirty. It’s stained with blood. I’m going to go change.”

The man did not stop her. Recently, there was a mountain of matters waiting for him at the base and at the Li family. Although he was in the mood to tease her, this was truly not the most suitable time. He kept away the cotton buds and tossed them into the bin by the side.

The next day, Li Nanheng said that he would be returning to the Li family. He wasn’t sure if he would come home tonight and told her to stay at home obediently; she was not allowed to run out as she pleased again.

The meaning behind, ‘running out as she pleased’ was very obvious.

Feng Ling was too lazy to pay him any mind. Recently, the man had grown even more controlling and dominating. Although she was living in his condo, she was not his possession. What right did he have to dictate who she met?

Furthermore, her relationship with Qiao Fei was extremely clean. Her heart was extremely honest and she never once thought too much about what was going on between them.

Before leaving, Li Nanheng repeated his instructions once more. Not even Qiao Fei, even if K and the rest of them came from the base to look for her, she was not allowed to meet them. This was especially so in the evening. He also reminded her to be more careful. Her arms were still experiencing numbness periodically, and she couldn’t even hold a knife firmly. Since she didn’t have the strength to protect herself, he told her to stop having thoughts about solving injustices at evening parties.

Feng Ling did not agree nor did make any promises. She only told him to leave quickly, in case the elders became impatient and charged over to beat her up with their walking sticks again.

When Li Nanheng heard this, he suddenly chuckled. He reached his arm out and brought Feng Ling into his embrace, pressing a kiss on her cheek. While Feng Ling was dumbstruck by the kiss, he whispered in her ear: “Wait for me to return obediently, en?”
