Chapter 933: The Story of Ling and Heng (196)
Feng Ling began to stuff food into her mouth one mouthful after another as if she was starving.
Li Nanheng looked at her doubtfully. “Tasty?”
“Yes, tasty.” Feng Ling looked at him, gobbled the food and smiled. As if trying to prove what she said was true, she nodded.
Li Nanheng didn’t say anything. Feng Ling was about to eat these dishes up. Are they really tasty?
Suddenly, he picked up chopsticks and put some rice into his mouth.
“…” He put too little water when cooking the rice, so it was very hard.
The man picked up some vegetables with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
“…”
Seeing Li Nanheng’s stunned expression, Feng Ling hurriedly lowered her head and continued to eat.
The man said a bit awkwardly, “Forget it. Let’s order takeout next time.”
Feng Ling put down the bowl. “Actually, the dishes are not bad.”
Li Nanheng sneered. “Are you sucking up to me?”
In fact, it was indeed better to order takeout. After all, obviously it was the first time Boss Li cooked. Both dishes were terribly salty and overcooked.
But Feng Ling still said firmly, “You see, I’m going to eat them up. Boss, it’s enough to fill an empty stomach. Don’t be so picky.”
Li Nanheng glanced at her coldly. “Do you think I am you who can just pick a sour wild fruit in the jungle and take it as a meal?” Then he looked at her seriously. “So did you even eat raw meat when you were a kid? Otherwise, how can you swallow these things I made?”
Feng Ling: “…”
She looked at him silently for a long while, and then looked at his expensive pajamas. At this moment, in such a tranquil place, away from XI Base, she suddenly found the dandy part of Boss Li’s character, which was not annoying yet overbearing and arrogant.
In the end, he was still the young master of the Li family. Taking off the base’s combat uniform, he was that childe, Li Nanheng
Feng Ling didn’t know why she thought about these but looking at his black eyes, she still answered truthfully, “I haven’t eaten raw meat. I can’t eat it. I remember the she-wolf once ripped a piece of flesh from a beast and fed it to me, but I threw up the bloody thing and couldn’t eat it at all.”
Li Nanheng glanced at Feng Ling’s fair-skinned face. “So how did you survive?”
“Ate wild fruits, looked for some edible wild grass and wild vegetables nearby or ate the milk of the she-wolf. Anyway, I lived to about five years old. I was very thin when I was taken out of the jungle.” With that, she picked up some vegetables into her bowl. “So for me, it is enough to have hot meals. I am not picky.”
Feng Ling’s eyes were calm. Looking at her eyes, Li Nanheng swallowed the words that he wanted to say to comfort her.
Everyone’s experience was different. Although such an experience was indeed too hard for a little girl, if it weren’t for this experience, she wouldn’t have been able to enter XI Base, nor would she be discovered by him.
Or maybe Li Nanheng’s life didn’t have the courage to imagine how she lived in the jungle for five years.
Such a small girl.
Feng Ling ate all the dishes and put down the bowl. When she found that Li Nanheng had been looking at her silently, she looked at him. “Boss, I’ve eaten all the food. If you’re hungry, you can order takeout. I’m already full.”
Li Nanheng glanced at the empty bowl in front of her, not knowing whether he should feel sorry for her or laughed because she really ate it all up.
He smiled and suddenly said, “Wanna see the apartment I bought for you with your money?”
Feng Ling had almost forgotten about this. She asked, “Where is it?”
“It is downstairs. The apartment has the same size and the same layout as this one. Because I am not sure what kind of decoration style you like, so I only made a simple decoration. You can’t live in it yet.”
Feng Ling paused and looked around the apartment.
If it was the same size and the same layout…
In the beginning, Li Nanheng said that he bought her a small apartment with her money.
But this apartment was at least more than two hundred square meters and it was also a double-decker. Although she didn’t pay much attention, she saw a stair in the apartment, so its area was at least three or four hundred square meters.
Was it really a “small” apartment?
Feng Ling didn’t know much about the real estate industry in Los Angeles, nor did she know anything about the location of the apartment, but since Boss Li lives here, it couldn’t be cheap.
She wanted to ask how much the apartment cost, but he got up and answered the phone at this time.
Looking at his back, Feng Ling looked at the used tableware on the table and took it into the kitchen.
After Li Nanheng hung up the phone, he heard the sound of water coming from the kitchen. When he saw that Feng Ling was no longer at the table, he turned around and walked to the kitchen. Then leaning against the door, he looked at Feng Ling who was standing at the sink and washing the dishes.
“Just put the bowls there. You don’t need to wash them.” He said.
But Feng Ling was still washing the bowl in her hands as if she hadn’t heard his words.
Seeing this, Li Nanheng sighed and walked over. “There is a dishwasher. Just put the bowls and dishes in it.”
Only then did Feng Ling see the dishwasher in the kitchen. After a pause, she lowered her head and continued to wash. “It’s okay. There are only two or three bowls left. I’ll just wash them.”
He took the bowl from her hand and put it aside. “You are a patient now. Either go back to bed to sleep or go to the sofa to rest. You don’t have to do anything.”
Feng Ling looked at the tableware and could only wipe her hands and didn’t insist anymore. “OK.” She turned and walked away.
Soon after, Li Nanheng walked out of the kitchen and saw Feng Ling standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, her hand gently against the window, and she was looking at the pedestrians passing by downstairs.
This was the tenth floor. From here, she could see the view from far away.
She didn’t know which road it was, but judging from the nearby buildings, it should be not far from the city center.
