Chapter 1071: The Story of Ling and Heng (334)
She had never regretted what she said at that time.
But Feng Ling didn’t think that the words she had said at the time were really a sharp sword for Li Nanheng.
That sword hurt both her and him!
Feng Ling stood expressionlessly and Han Jin glanced at her again and then at the file in her hand. “Are you really going to Hai City?”
“I don’t know. I just don’t want to stay in the base.”
“Do you mean that as long as you can stay away from XI Base, you’re even willing to go to a war-torn country?”
Feng Ling didn’t answer, but her body language showed that was exactly what she meant.
Although she hesitated now, at least these days she showed this was what she meant.
Although she looked calm, Han Jin knew that she actually felt ill inside. Remembering how she was insulted by Grandfather Li in public, Han Jin softened his tone and said mildly, “Okay, it’s not a big deal. When the Boss finishes his work, he will sign it for you. Since you’re going to work for Mr. Mo, I don’t think he will stop you. It’s just that your attitude is too tough. You and Boss Li are both too stubborn. Since you are already in the base, just wait patiently. If you can soften your attitude a little bit, he will let you go.”
At this time, someone came over and whispered to Han Jin. Han Jin nodded and said, “I’ll go over immediately.”
Then he glanced at Feng Ling again, and when he walked past her, he patted her shoulder gently. “Since you are already standing in XI Base, I think I need to remind you that since returning from Boston, Boss Li has never mentioned your name again.”
Feng Ling fell silent for a moment and then smiled. “Why should he mention my name? There’s no need”
“…”
The corner of Han Jin’s mouth twitched. “You don’t know how he was like when he was looking for you for the past two years, which is completely different from how he was in these nine months. I just want to tell you, when Boss Li loves you, likes you, and wants to take up your burden for you, he has enough ability to shelter you from wind and rain, but if he digs you out of his heart and eyes, you won’t even be able to see him.”
With that, Han Jin glanced at the time again and left.
Feng Ling stood still, looking at Han Jin’s receding figure.
Yes, now she couldn’t see Li Nanheng indeed.
——
Li Nanheng had a meeting with the senior military officials in the base the whole afternoon, which did not end until after four o’clock in the evening.
The news K brought to Feng Ling was that there would be a banquet in the base tonight to entertain the military officials, so Boss Li would spend most of the day in the base hall or the banquet hall and come back very late. If she wanted to wait for him, she’d better change the place.
Since they had a lot of things to discuss in this meeting, Boss Li might not have the patience to pay attention to her affairs, so she should be prepared.
Since he was busy, Feng Ling wouldn’t disturb him, but after spending days in the base waiting for him, she really hoped he could quickly sign the document and let her go. She didn’t care if he was patient to her or not. She just wanted to leave. Why did he keep her in the base?
Feng Ling went to the base hall but didn’t see him.
She went to the banquet hall and didn’t find him either.
But it was certain that Li Nanheng would be in the base for these two days and would not go out temporarily.
She simply went back to the sniper team and trained with the members to kill time instead of looking for him.
The next day, the people from the military left, and Feng Ling waited outside Li Nanheng’s room again with the document.
Li Nanheng came out of the door in the morning. When he walked past her, he didn’t even look at her or give her a chance to speak. His cell phone rang, and he picked up the phone while walking out without looking back.
Seeing this, Feng Ling could only follow behind him. Li Nanheng didn’t look back at all. Then he was stopped halfway by the drillmaster of Team Four, saying that there was a problem with the newcomers of Team Four and asking Boss to go over and take a look. Li Nanheng just left with the drillmaster of Team Four.
Then, Feng Ling could not find Li Nanheng any longer in the canteen, the training camps of different teams, and even the roads in the base.
That afternoon, Dr. Qin called her.
“Little Feng Ling, are you done?”
“…No.”
“Huh? Did he refuse to sign?”
“He ignores me.” Feng Ling’s tone was flat but there was a hint of anger in it.
Then she seemed to hear Qin Siting chuckle on the other side of the phone. “He almost wanted to tie you to him all day long before and now you said he ignored you? I think he doesn’t want to let you go. Then I think I’ll have to choose someone else in the base. The point is that Mo Jingshen doesn’t want to find his wife a male bodyguard. Alas, where can I find a competent female bodyguard?”
“I’ll still try. If that doesn’t work, I’ll sneak out.”
“Don’t. It’s just a job offer. You don’t have to take it so seriously.” Siting smiled and said, “But if Nanheng refuses to let you go, let alone me, even Mo Jingshen won’t be able to persuade him to let you go.”
“He has no reason not to let me go.”
“In recent months, Nanheng goes to Hai City frequently. He stays in Hai City more than in the United States. He rushed back just because of the physical condition of his grandfather. I think he will return to Hai City sooner or later. Maybe you can come to Hai City with him. He will not leave you alone at the airport anyway.”
“As you said, he won’t let me go. Even if I stalk him to the airport, can he take me on the plane?”
“Well, that’s true. Firstly, he will not compromise so easily, and on the other hand, you will not be stalking him.”
Both of them were difficult to deal with. One was over-cautious, self-isolated and cold, while the other was extremely stubborn.
