Chapter 1023: The Story of Ling and Heng (286)
Seeing the man approaching, Feng Ling didn’t speak, but the head coach’s words still surprised her slightly.
For more than a year, the head coach had been taking care of her like an elder, and he seemed to be already thirty-one or thirty-two years old. She had always regarded him as a good teacher and helpful friend and never thought that he wanted to pursue her.
She was not feminine at all. What was it about her that men liked? Her fist?
Noticing the cold gaze behind him, the head coach paused and turned around to look at the tall man approaching.
Li Nanheng put one hand in his trouser pocket, holding a box of antipyretics that he had just bought at the pharmacy next door to the martial arts club. He stared straight into the head coach’s eyes. “You can feel a sense of crisis, which shows that you are a smart person.”
“Head coach, would you mind leaving us alone for a moment?” Feng Ling didn’t want these old events between her and Li Nanheng to affect other people, nor did she want those things to be heard by others.
The head coach stood in front of the door and didn’t move but stared back at Li Nanheng. When Li Nanheng was about to enter the door, he suddenly raised his hand and blocked his way with his arm.
Li Nanheng didn’t speak but glanced at the arm that was in front of him, then raised his eyebrows and looked at the head coach. He didn’t speak and even suddenly smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes, and even Feng Ling, who was sitting behind her desk, sensed danger from his smile.
“Ling is a member of our club. No matter what your relationship is with her, if she doesn’t want to see you or intends to have any relationship with you, everyone here has the responsibility and obligation to protect her. Sir, I think Ling obviously doesn’t want to see you.” The head coach fearlessly looked at the man who was even taller than him, his eyes firm.
“What makes you think she doesn’t want to see me?” Li Nanheng was indifferent.
Feng Ling wanted to say I really didn’t want to see you, but in case he would vent on the head coach, she just got up and walked over silently.
As soon as she walked to the door, the head coach suddenly turned sideways, blocked her, and said with a posture of guarding her. “It’s okay. I’m here.”
Feng Ling looked at Li Nanheng through the head coach, and when her eyes met Li Nanheng’s cold eyes, she suddenly glanced at the medicine in his hand.
Li Nanheng didn’t say anything. He just looked at her and handed her the medicine box. “Take the medicine first.”
The head coach looked at him and then looked back at Feng Ling.
“I’m fine,” Feng Ling said coldly. “I don’t need to take medicine. I have been drinking as much water as possible so that it won’t be a problem for me. Mr. Li, thank you for your concern, but you are concerned about the wrong person. You should care about your wife, not me.”
Hearing this, the head coach frowned and coldly stared at the man in front of him. “You’ve married?”
Li Nanheng completely ignored the person who was an eyesore and just looked at Feng Ling. “I just asked you to take medicine. You don’t have to say so much.”
Feng Ling simply took the medicine and said, “Head coach, I’d like to talk to him alone. Thank you.”
Hearing Feng Ling’s indifferent and polite voice, the head coach hesitated and gave Li Nanheng a warning look. Regardless of whether Li Nanheng paid attention to his warning stare or not, he whispered to Feng Ling, “I’m in the office next door. Call me if necessary.”
Feng Ling didn’t speak. It wasn’t until the head coach left that she reached out to Li Nanheng. “Give me the key.”
Li Nanheng raised his eyebrows. Because the man who was such an eyesore to him had gone, the coldness in his eyes dissipated a lot, and he looked at her. “What key?”
“Li Nanheng, don’t pretend innocent! Didn’t you enter my house again when I was asleep in the early morning? Did you duplicate my key when you took it out last night?” Feng Ling coldly looked at him. “Just give me the key.”
To his surprise, although the little woman had not much life experience, she was obviously not as gullible as before. After all, she had lived outside for two years, which wasn’t in his control but only belonged to her.
Li Nanheng smiled and said, “But I have more than one duplicate. Can you be sure that I won’t have a second backup in my hand?”
Feng Ling: “…Then give me both.”
“What if I copied ten keys yesterday?”
“…”
“Or even more?”
“Li Nanheng, what do you want?” Feng Ling suddenly put down her hand, her eyes impatient. “Pestering me will not do you any good.”
“You were sick and had a fever in the early morning. I was taking care of you, and you call it pestering? You’re seriously ill, but you still came to work. I came to take you home to rest. How can you call it pestering? Huh?” The man took a step forward and looked down at her. “I care about you, but in your eyes, I’m pestering you. Then what about that guy just now? What is the so-called student who brought you ginger decoction? I just don’t want you to go to work while you are ill. Am I pestering you?”
Feng Ling didn’t want to argue with him, so she just frowned. “I still have to work in the afternoon, and I don’t have the energy to talk nonsense with you. I am warning you to bring me the keys before I go home tonight and don’t go to my home casually in the future.”
After that, Feng Ling turned around with the medicine and did not look at him anymore. She walked back to the desk and said before sitting down. “The club is my workplace. Mr. Li, please don’t come here again.”
Li Nanheng stood there and didn’t move. Feng Ling looked up at him. “Just leave!”
Li Nanheng was silent for a moment, walked in, pulled a chair in front of the desk, and sat down.
Seeing his actions, Feng Ling looked at him in doubt.
“I want to watch you take the medicine.” The man glanced at the water glass in front of her.
Feng Ling remained silent for a while, opened the pillbox impatiently, and took out two pills. When she was about to swallow them, the man’s voice came again. “Don’t you check the dose before taking the medicine? Only one pill is enough.”
Feng Ling paused and didn’t look at the man. She looked down at the instructions written on the pillbox. Indeed, just as he said, she just needed to take one pill at a time.
She pursed her lips, put a pill into her mouth, took two sips of water, and put the glass down.
“Okay, can you go now?” she asked while looking at Li Nanheng.
