Chapter 1275: The Story of Ling and Heng (538)
After hearing Mr. Li’s words, Elder Feng asked, “Is Nanheng here?”
“Yes, I saw Mr. Li outside, but he didn’t come in.” Auntie Mai nodded.
In Grandfather Feng’s impression, Li Nanheng really treated Feng Ling very well.
A few days ago, althoughshe was not in the mood, he had coincidentally met him several times. She could tell that Li Nanheng really cared about Feng Ling.
But why did Feng Ling suddenly come back alone? When Li Nanheng came to the Feng family, he didn’t come in. Feng Ling didn’t say anything and didn’t let him in.
Grandfather Feng temporarily defined their situation as a quarrel, but Feng Ling still knew to return to the Feng family after the quarrel. This was a great relief for them.
“Child, if you’re still tired, take care of your body first. If you want to see him, we can let Nanheng in, but if you don’t want to see him for the time being, it’s fine,” Elder Feng said.
“No,” Feng Ling said. Although her voice was hoarse, she sounded determined.
Her tone startled the old lady who had been holding her hand. Looking at her closed eyes, she asked gently, “Did you quarrel with Nanheng?”
Feng Ling didn’t answer. As if hearing Li Nanheng’s name made her lose all patience, she frowned slightly and was about to pull her hand back, but the old lady still held it tightly.
“All right, all right. Grandma won’t ask anymore. Don’t be angry.” Seeing that she was upset with Li Nanheng, Old Madam Feng quickly held her hand and turned to Auntie Mai. “Then tell him not to keep waiting outside.”
“All right,” Auntie Mai replied. She looked at Feng Ling and saw that she really didn’t want to see Li Nanheng, so she turned and walked out.
Outside, she saw that Li Nanheng was still standing there. There was no extra cigarette butt under his feet. He seemed to have been standing there quietly for a long time.
“Mr. Li.” Auntie Mai came out and said softly, “I’m very sorry. Although Second Miss has woken up, she doesn’t seem to be in a good state of mind. She sleeps when she wakes up. It may be inconvenient for her to see you.”
Her words were too tactful. In fact, it was just that Feng Ling didn’t want to see him.
He knew her temper very well, but Li Nanheng did not expect that a document from the base would make her so angry.
“It’s all right. Let her rest more,” Li Nanheng said indifferently. After a pause, he said softly, “Take good care of her.”
“Mr. Li, don’t worry. The Second Miss is the precious treasure that the two elderly have lost. You should know that in the entire Feng family, she is the only one worth remembering. We will definitely take good care of her. The Feng family will give her all the best things and won’t let her suffer any more grievances.” Auntie Mai sighed with emotion as she spoke. Her eyes were slightly red. “It’s really not easy. The Second Miss is still alive. She is still alive at home.”
Li Nanheng didn’t say anything but glanced at the window of Feng Ling’s room.
“Mr. Li, I’ll go in first. The weather has been cold recently, and it often rains. Don’t stand outside and catch a cold,” Auntie Mai said with concern. Seeing Li Nanheng nod indifferently, she quickly turned back to the villa.
After returning to the room, she thought she could still talk to the Second Miss. However, when she entered, she saw the Feng family’s elders carefully closing the bedroom door and quietly walking out.
“Is Second Miss asleep again?” Auntie Mai had hugged and coaxed her every day and night when Second Miss was young. Their relationship had already surpassed that of familial love. Of course, she was concerned that she could talk to her now. However, she did not expect the bedroom door to be closed so easily.
“Shh.” The old lady made a hand gesture to her. “Last night, she had a fever for an entire night and only woke up for a few minutes. Her body still can’t take it. She fell asleep after listening to my words. Let her sleep.”
…
Feng Ling was really asleep. After waking up, she hadn’t been able to regain her composure for the past two days. She slept when she woke up, and she slept much more once she regained consciousness.
In these two days, the Feng family really took good care of her. No matter if it was the Feng elders or the servants who came into contact with Feng Ling, they all felt sorry for her and took good care of her. Their tone was full of the words’ Second Miss, you’re finally back.’
However, Feng Ling was in a daze. She didn’t know how to respond to the people in the Feng family. At most, when Old Madam Feng came to talk to her, she said a few words to her and then fell asleep again.
After sleeping like this for two days, she woke up again and felt much better. At the same time, she heard two servants whispering by the bed.
“Still outside?”
“Yes, Auntie Mai and I went out to buy some things just now. When we came back, we saw that the car was still there.”
“Didn’t our Old Madam call him in for dinner? But he didn’t come in and just waited outside. Could he really be waiting for our Second Miss…”
“What a coincidence. The Second Miss’s cenotaph has been married to the Li family. Mr. Li is deeply in love with our Second Miss. The Second Miss didn’t say that she wanted to see him, but he has been waiting outside. There must be a story between the two of them.”
Hearing these words, Feng Ling just lay there silently.
One of the servants saw that she was awake and hurried over, asking her if she wanted to drink water or eat something. Feng Ling only blinked and remained silent.
This time, she didn’t fall asleep after waking up. Even if she closed her eyes, she still couldn’t fall asleep. The two servants thought she was asleep, so they watched her patiently and continued to chat quietly.
They were mostly talking about Li Nanheng standing outside the Feng family for the past two days.
After an unknown period of time, the helper suddenly stood up to close the windows. “It’s raining again. Every year during this season, there will always be several freezing rain. It’s really cold…”
The helper was closing the windows. When she looked out of the window, she suddenly paused and said in surprise, “Eh? Why isn’t Mr. Li in the car? It’s freezing. Isn’t he catching a cold?”
The two servants squeezed in front of the window and looked out. Sure enough, they saw that tall figure standing by the car smoking, as though he was completely unaware of the freezing rain.
“Will you catch a cold if you get drenched like this? Get someone to bring an umbrella over to Mr. Li.”
“Yes, give me another coat. I think Mr. Li isn’t even wearing a coat.”
“I think he left his coat here.”
“Aiya, the person inside hasn’t recovered yet. If the person outside is also ill, what should we do…”
“Please don’t quarrel with each other. Second Miss and Mr. Li look quite compatible…”
“Ai, I don’t know what happened, but seeing Mr. Li like this makes my heart ache.”
