Chapter 911: The Story of Ling and Heng (174)
Seeing Feng Ling drink a mouthful of water, Li Nanheng smiled, and when she put down the water bottle and looked at him again, he resumed his cold and indifferent expression.
Screwing the bottle cap on, Feng Ling turned and was about to leave, and the man behind him looked sideways at her. “Come back. Where are you going?”
Feng Ling was puzzled and looked back at him. “Boss, I’ve just finished the task in the police station and was busy with the procurement this afternoon. It’s late now. I want to go back to rest. Don’t tell me you also want me to accompany you to saunter about the street!”
Li Nanheng pointed to the cake shop with his chin. “Go for the cake first.”
Feng Ling stared at his eyes, and when she made sure the man was not teasing her, she suddenly recalled what the man did to her that night. She looked away. “I’m already full.”
However, as soon as she said so, he held her wrist and dragged her towards him. Feng Ling barely stabilized her body so as not to fall into his arms. She struggled but failed to break free. She gnashed her teeth and said impatiently, “You…”
“Tonight’s task is to eat cake.” The man turned around. She had been struggling as stubborn as a donkey and refused to let him take her hand, so he could only drag her from behind him.
Being dragged by him, Feng Ling stumbled to the door of the cake store. She was about to speak, but the man didn’t even stop and went straight in.
After they entered the door, the staff inside all looked at them, and hurriedly came up to greet them.
Feng Ling didn’t want to quarrel with him in front of so many people. She took back her hand and stood behind the man, looking a bit impatient, but she didn’t leave.
“Sir, would you like to order a cake?”
Before Li Nanheng spoke, Feng Ling suddenly said, “No, we just come in and have a look…”
Before she finished, Li Nanheng cast a casual glance at her as if warning her.
Feng Ling didn’t look at him and pretended she didn’t see his glance.
The tall man walked straight in, stopped at a small compartment in the store, and pointed to a small but delicate cake in the window, asking a shop assistant, “What kind of cake is this? ”
“That one has blueberries and strawberries in it, which are sandwiched between cake embryos and taste very delicious. Would you like one, Sir?”
Hearing there were blueberries in it, Li Nanheng raised his eyebrows, took out a credit card, and handed it to the shop assistant. “OK, we’ll eat it here. We’ll book the whole store for several hours. Please don’t let others disturb us.”
The shop assistant took the credit card that he handed over and found that it was a black card. She hurriedly nodded and affably said, “Okay, wait a minute, sir. We will bring the cake to you immediately. Please sit inside.”
Li Nanheng didn’t speak, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and turned to look at Feng Ling, who was still standing at the door. She remained expressionless but her clenched fingers revealed her hesitation.
“I already bought it. You can throw it away if you don’t eat it. Come and sit down,” the man said coldly and walked into the compartment.
Seeing the shop assistants were about to take the cake in, Feng Ling reluctantly walked in. Seeing that Li Nanheng chose a fairly spacious compartment, she walked over and sat down in front of him.
The shop assistant brought them the cake as well as small plates and knives and forks, and asked them what they would like to drink, but Feng Ling put the mineral water in her hand on the table. The shop assistant understood what she meant, didn’t dare to ask anymore, and turn away.
Li Nanheng looked at Feng Ling’s unapproachable expression. “There is milk tea and other drinks in this shop. Would you like to have a try?”
“I’m not interested.” Feng Ling grabbed the mineral water.
“Then eat the cake. I remember K said you like blueberries. There are blueberries in this cake, which should suit your taste.”
Feng Ling looked at the cake in front of him and pursed her lips. “Boss, just this once, not again. I just took a look at it outside and didn’t say I wanted to eat it.”
“Then eat only this time. Cut the crap.” Li Nanheng threw the silver lighter on the table, intending to sit here and wait for her to finish eating.
Feng Ling had to pick up a small fork and cut a piece on the cake. After thinking about it, she cut another piece and put it in front of him.
The man didn’t eat but attentively watching her eat cake with a small fork.
Being stared by his, Feng Ling felt a bit uneasy, but she would feel even more uneasy if she raised her eyes and looked at him.
So she could only bow her head and eat bit by bit.
Although the taste of this cake was really good, sweet but not greasy, and the minced blueberries and strawberries were very delicious, but she had just eaten pizza and couldn’t eat so much at once. Although the cake was not big, she felt that she could only eat half of it at most.
After being watched for a long time, she had to raise her head and her eyes instantly met the man’s eyes. She paused. “Why don’t you eat?”
“I’m not interested in desserts. I’ll just watch you eat.” The man said and noticed that she specifically picked blueberries to eat. It seemed that she really liked eating blueberries.
Feng Ling didn’t quite understand Li Nanheng. It was said that people were ashamed to confess their love, weren’t they? But Li Nanheng was honest. When he found he liked her, he told her frankly, and when he wanted to show his fondness to her, he treated her to cake.
She had to continue to eat, and not long after, she heard the man’s casual voice. “You don’t know what day of your birthday is?”
Feng Ling grunted in response and sipped the sweet cream in her mouth, saying in a low voice, “The date of my birth was randomly set by the person who adopted me. I really don’t know when my birthday is. So I don’t take it seriously.”
“Do you know who your parents are?”
Feng Ling looked at him and thought about it. In the end, she didn’t tell him that she grew up in a wolf hole. After all, the sufferings she had experienced had already gone, and she didn’t want to mention it again.
She only replied, “No, I’m an orphan.”
She had such a tragic and confusing past, but she never complained over it. Li Nanheng didn’t say much. He wanted to remain a cold look, but his eyes turned softer.
“Well, continue to eat the cake,” the man said and wanted to pick up the lighter to light a cigarette, but hesitated for two seconds, he dismissed the idea and continued to sit at the table and look at her.
