Feng Ling clearly sensed the murderous intent in the manâs gaze. Even if he recognized that this was Qiao Fei...
âQiao Fei! Quickly let go!â Feng Ling rushed to push him away. âHurry and let go...â
âFeng Ling, I...â Before Qiao Fei could finish speaking, his back tensed. The man who had abruptly approached had reached out and hauled him away. Qiao Fei lifted his head blearily and immediately received a harsh punch to his face. He staggered backwards and fell against Bentley.
As Qiao Feiâs back slammed against the car door, he finally sobered up a little. He lifted his head and immediately met Li Nanhengâs blazing, enraged gaze.
âBoss.â It had been too late for Feng Ling to stop his first punch. When she saw that he was about to throw another blow, she rushed to reach out and stop him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, Li Nanheng expressionlessly pushed her hand aside.
âBoss!â Feng Ling saw that he was really upset and frantically reached out once more. She held his arm. âBoss, donât misunderstand! Brother Qiao drank too much, he doesnât have any other intentions. Weâre all people from the XI Base. Donât beat up our own people outside. Boss...â
âLet go!â
âBoss!â
Li Nanheng abruptly shifted his frigid gaze down onto her: âI told you to let go.â
Feng Ling understood why he was angry. Earlier, she was also startled when Qiao Fei threw himself at her and embraced her. However, it was really inappropriate for them to be fighting here.
Especially for her.
She held his arm tightly with force. Even through the fabric of his clothes, she could feel the manâs muscles tensing as he prepared to vent his anger through force. She refused to let go. âStop beating him!â
Seeing her actions, Li Nanhengâs expression worsened. He was about to push her away when Feng Ling directly moved to stand before him. She opened her arms and took the initiative to hold his waist tightly.
She could smell the faint scent of alcohol on him. Did these two men make a prior agreement? One was drinking while the other carried the scent of alcohol back with him.
One was in a poor mood, the other didnât seem to be feeling great either.
She embraced his waist tightly, causing the man to stiffened slightly; this was the first time she had taken the initiative to hold him. She pressed her head against his chest to say: âLi Nanheng! He is one of us! Donât hit him!â
If it werenât for Qiao Feiâs presence, perhaps Li Nanheng would be extremely happy to receive her embrace.
But right now, the little woman was being forced to do so for Qiao Fei.
Since he returned to the Li family, he had been feeling pressured and trapped by a casual promise he had carelessly made to the Feng family in the past. He had planned on staying away in case his feelings affected her rest, yet he could not resist the urge to return home and accompany her.
Who fucking knew that the moment he returned home, he would see the little woman he did not even dare to kiss, for fear of affecting her mood, being forcefully held in this bastardâs arms.
âFeng Ling.â The manâs voice came from above her head and was firm: âIf you donât wish to see any casualties, let go of me right now!â
âBoss, calm down. He really only drank too much. Thereâs nothing going on between the two of us!â Feng Ling held his waist, pressing her head against his chest to explain gloomily: âStop fighting!â
Qiao Fei leaned against the car seat. Although Li Nanhengâs earlier blow wasnât especially harsh, it was sufficient to leave him dazed. Now that the dazedness finally faded, he slowly stood up properly against the car door. As he watched the scene before him, he suddenly smiled. He quickly wiped the side of his lips and lowered his head to look at the bloodstain on his clothes. He immediately smiled again. He lifted his head to say: âBoss Li, this isnât how you snatch a woman. This isnât the XI Base either. Weâre not at a training ground. Do you think you can speak with your fists?â
âYou really arenât fucking afraid of death!â Li Nanheng was about to charge forward but the young woman in his arms kept her death grip around his waist, refusing to let him move. He lowered his head to look at the little woman in his embrace and furrowed his brows: âWhat are you doing? If I were to cripple him, would you really form a grudge against me? Let go of me right now!â
âIâm not letting go! Boss, you canât do this! This is all a misunderstanding! Do you think that nobody sees you when you do this outside! There are so many people passing by this place. This isnât a place where outsiders cannot come in like XI Base! Right now, the base is already troubled by rumors and most of them are caused by me. If a fight starts between you and Qiao Fei because of me, wouldnât I become the person that really needs to leave?â
Feng Ling unhappily and hoarsely said a lot before Li Nanheng finally calmed down a little. However, his cold gaze remained fixed on the fearless Qiao Fei who was smiling by the car door.
âBoss Li, even if Iâve left the base, Iâm still addressing you as Boss.â Qiao Fei licked away the blood on the side of his lips. He spoke coldly: âWhen it comes to chasing girls, itâs always necessary to have a fair competition. You are very outstanding, but Iâm not lacking in any way. Since she likes you, it means Iâve lost. But Iâm not wrong in using my own ways to express my emotions. Thereâs no need to look at me as though you want to kill me. America is fair and just society. Itâs not only the Li family alone that is powerful. Even if you wish to kill someone outside, it wonât be as easy as you think!â
Feng Ling furrowed her brows and turned back to shout at him: âQiao Fei! Stop talking! Leave!â
Qiao Fei shifted his gaze onto her: âI want a fair competition.â
âCompete for what? Iâm not one of those beautiful young girls that can be compared to a goddess! After pretending to be a man for so many years, I donât even know how to love someone! Thereâs no need for anyone to do anything for me! No one will even know or miss me if I die outside one day! Iâm not worth the two of you doing this!â
âYouâre worth it,â After saying this, Qiao Fei did not say more. He wiped the side of his mouth once more and released a soft laugh. It wasnât clear if he was mocking someone else or himself. He then opened the car door and removed his jacket to toss it in. He stood by his car door for a long moment, as if to resist the urge to turn back and return the blow, before finally climbing in.
The Bentley made a whistling noise against the ground before it drove away.
After confirming that Qiao Fei had left and that there was no one Li Nanheng could beat up, Feng Ling released a long breath. She then released the manâs waist and was about to take a step back when abruptly, a grip tightened around her waist, sending her back into his arms. She raised her head in confusion and was about to speak when, abruptly, a harsh kiss was pressed against her lips.
