Chapter 1267: The Story of Ling and Heng (530)
Feng Ling didn’t know what Li Nanheng was up to.
Recently, because of the Feng family, although Feng Ling was not mentally and physically exhausted, her mood was definitely affected and she did not have the heart to consider many things.
Right now, the only reason she could return to normal was because she had been used to being alone since she was a child. Her concept of kinship was very vague. The death of her parents was indeed very sad for her, but it was not to the point where she would always be unhappy.
A few days ago, when she went to chat with the old lady, she heard that Qin Qiu had already known about her. However, she could tell that Feng Ling liked freedom and didn’t want to go back to the Feng family, so she respected her choice and didn’t disturb her.
What kind of woman was Qin Qiu?
Feng Ling was pleased and proud to have such a mother. Even if they were separated forever, at least her heart was warm.
Li Nanheng drove the car to a large supermarket in Los Angeles. Feng Ling didn’t understand what he wanted to buy and followed him in.
In the end, the man bought a bunch of ingredients and hot pot seasoning. This scene was very similar to when he used to cook hot pot for her at home.
Was he planning to spend some time with her before returning to the base?
After all, although she was happy and peaceful every day in the jungle, she really had not eaten hot pot in awhile. Usually, she would eat whatever she had. When she didn’t eat the food outside for a long time, she almost forgot the taste. That day, she came out to buy something to eat, but the taste was actually very ordinary near the beach.
Seeing the seasoning and hot pot ingredients the man put into the shopping cart, Feng Ling subconsciously swallowed and accompanied him to choose various ingredients and vegetables.
The two of them walked in the supermarket for a long time. They had bought one thing after another in the car. Initially, Feng Ling thought that Li Nanheng planned to stay in the house he mentioned for a while so that she could ease her regret of not returning to the jungle, so she bought more things.
But later, she found that Li Nanheng did not continue to put things into the shopping cart. Instead, he seemed to be delaying time. He walked aimlessly in the supermarket, and time slowly passed. When Feng Ling asked him if he had anything to buy, he forgot? What did he want to buy? He casually picked up a bottle of sesame sauce on the supermarket shelf. “I forgot. I heard that hot pot with this kind of sesame sauce is very common in China. I can buy it and try it.”
“All right.” Feng Ling checked the things in the shopping cart. “It’s almost enough. I’ve bought a lot.”
The man glanced at her and pushed the shopping cart toward the cashier.
In the end, she bought a lot of things. The two big bags were full. Feng Ling was afraid that the bags would fall out if they were too heavy, so she specially bought two more shopping bags. She wanted to help carry them, but Li Nanheng had already picked up the bags and brought them out. She followed behind and watched the man’s tall and broad back. She felt as though he was going to use this hot pot to stuff her to death.
Otherwise, why would he buy so much?
“You said go home, so you’re going back here?” Feng Ling looked at Li Nanheng’s apartment in Los Angeles and looked up. She still remembered that he bought her an apartment on the floor below his apartment. She had never lived in her own apartment.
Li Nanheng did not speak. He got out of the car and took the things he had bought.
This man seemed especially quiet today. Feng Ling was about to get out of the car when she suddenly heard him remind her to take out the document bag from the car.
Hearing this, Feng Ling picked up the document bag and got out of the car. When she followed him into the apartment, she saw that the security guards outside were still the same as before. She had actually not been here many times, but the security guards seemed to recognize her. They smiled at her politely and kindly, as if asking: Ah, it’s been so many years. You’re finally back?
Feng Ling smiled lightly. When Li Nanheng, who had already entered the elevator, urged her to go over, she quickly followed him into the elevator.
The two security guards outside were surprised by Feng Ling’s smile.
This young lady who appeared with Mr. Li had short hair. At that time, she was dressed like a little boy and never smiled at strangers. Her face was always cold.
But just now, her hair had grown quite a bit. It seemed to be almost the length of her neck. Her hair was soft, and her personality was much calmer and gentler. She was no longer cold and distant, and she even smiled at them.
In just a few years, she had transformed a cold boy into a gentle and mild woman.
Feng Ling’s personality had never changed. It was just that in the past, she was used to hiding herself and didn’t like to be close to others. She never smiled at anyone. It was only because she didn’t know why she smiled. Was there a need to smile?
She had been through a lot in the past few years. She no longer treated people with the same attitude as before, but she was still the same as before, although she seemed to be gentler.
It was likely that the tomboy who dressed as a man and the carefree Feng Ling who had grown a bit of her hair looked very different.
As a result, when the security guard outside the door looked at her with a smile, his eyes seemed to contain some surprise.
In the elevator, Feng Ling was thinking about whether she should find some time to trim her hair. Previously, she hadn’t trimmed it in the jungle. Now it was so long that it seemed like it could be tied up. She just needed a pair of small clips to tuck her hair in.
Before she could figure it out, the elevator stopped. Li Nanheng did not speak but walked out. She quickly followed him with the document bag in her hand.
When the door opened, she walked into the apartment she used to live in when she was recuperating. It was clean inside and there were clean indoor slippers placed in front of the door. She knew that although this apartment had been vacant for a long time, the auntie must have taken some time to clean it.
Such meticulousness was indeed in line with Li Nanheng’s obsession with cleanliness.
If his own apartment was covered in dust, he would not have been able to accompany her to clean the apartment like he did in the jungle.
Li Nanheng put the two shopping bags aside and turned back to see that Feng Ling was still standing by the door. His cold brows moved. “Why? Are you used to staying in the cabin? Don’t you dare to enter the apartment outside? Haven’t you been here before?”
Feng Ling was slightly embarrassed. She quickly changed her shoes and said, “I remember that the floor below is the apartment you bought for me.”
“En, the interior has already been renovated a long time ago, but I don’t think you’ll have a chance to live there. Just put it aside first,” the man said indifferently. At the same time, he picked up the shopping bag and entered the kitchen.
