Chapter 1278: The Story of Ling and Heng (541)
Feng Ling sighed with a smile. “It’s true that you taught me well, but it’s clear that my comprehension skills are not as good as yours.”
Ji Nuan laid on the ground and turned to look at her. “It’s because you’ve never really experienced the business world in China. After seeing the bloodbaths that are different from XI Base, you know what to do.”
“A bloodbath?” Feng Ling said indifferently. She seemed to have thought of something.
Hearing the pause in her tone, Ji Nuan sat up again and turned to look at her. “You’ve been in England for so long, but I haven’t asked you about the details. Why didn’t you return to XI Base? From what I know of you, even if you suddenly found out about your birth, or if you had any other choice, you wouldn’t choose to go back. You will choose to return to XI Base, but why did you…”
Feng Ling sat on the grass and looked down at the liquor in her hand. After looking at it for a while, she still didn’t say anything. She raised her head and drank all the liquor. Then she stood up, took the empty glass, and said without looking back, “Let’s go back.”
Feng Ling was not someone who always liked to put aside her worries, but she was very honest to Ji Nuan. She had also revealed her past in front of Ji Nuan, and her experience in XI Base was often considered to be frank.
However, in the six months she had been in England, Ji Nuan could tell that although Feng Ling was no different from her usual self, her temperament, attitude, and gaze seemed to have changed.
In the past, Feng Ling had stubbornly insisted on living.
Right now, Feng Ling’s gaze was mild and indifferent. She appeared to be indifferent to everything, but she was extremely observant.
After sending Ji Nuan back to her own place, Feng Ling drove back to another apartment nearby.
Originally, Ji Nuan wanted Feng Ling to live with her so that she could have a companion. However, Xiao Ba was living with Ji Nuan. Although Feng Ling liked Xiao Ba, her noisy personality made it difficult for her to stay by Xiao Ba’s side for twenty-four hours, so she decided to stay outside.
However, she lived very close to Ji Nuan at a walking distance of six minutes.
After returning to the apartment, Feng Ling took off her coat and took a shower.
After showering, she picked up the hairdryer and stood in front of the mirror to dry her hair.
Her hair was longer. Previously, there were several times when she wanted to cut it short, but Ji Nuan stopped her.
Ji Nuan could tell that she did not mention a single word about Li Nanheng and XI Base. Even if she did not know what had happened, she knew that Feng Ling was very determined about the past, as though she wanted to cut off everything.
Ji Nuan said casually, “You’ve dressed up like a tomboy for so many years. It’s time for you to change completely. There’s no need to cut your hair. If you don’t feel well, go do some simple styling. It doesn’t matter if it’s tied up or scattered. Now that you’re standing in front of me, I feel that you’re no longer the Feng Ling of the past, but if you make your hair so short, I’ll think you’re still the same as before.”
Feng Ling didn’t want to be like before.
She wanted to change.
She really wanted to cut off all traces of her past, even if it was just a shadow that resembled her past self.
Memories often reminded her of many things. She didn’t want to recall them.
However, she did not go to the hair salon outside to tidy up her hair. She only wore a simple black baseball cap every day. Occasionally, her hair was tied into a short ponytail, and occasionally, it fell on her shoulders. She only wore a hat.
She was still used to wearing those sportswear because she felt comfortable and not restrained.
However, Mr. Zand had specifically mentioned to her that the business circle in England was very particular about etiquette, and that she had to wear formal clothes or gowns in important signing events. It was not suitable for her to be dressed like a student or a fitness coach.
After being ordered by Mr. Zand several times, Feng Ling still had no intention of changing her mind. Instead, it was Xiao Ba and Ji Nuan who were anxious for her.
MN Group was thriving. Although Ji Nuan was busy, she was not as busy as she was in the past few months. When she finally had the time, she and Xiao Ba took Feng Ling to a commercial street in London and brought her into the department store.
It was fine if it was just Ji Nuan, but Ji Nuan had Xiao Ba with her. One of them was paying attention, and the other kept speaking by the side. Feng Ling looked at the clothes they had chosen for her and felt her head swelling.
“This dress is not bad. It’s very simple and clean. The design is simple and even has some pleats on it. It should be very smooth on the body.” Ji Nuan picked up a pearl-colored dress and held it in front of Feng Ling. She swayed it in front of Feng Ling. After confirming that Feng Ling’s skin could handle any color, she pressed the dress against her body and said with satisfaction, “Beautiful, this is very beautiful. Feng Ling, try it on.”
“Ji Nuan.” Feng Ling was helpless. She raised her hand to push her clothes away, but Ji Nuan pressed her dress down forcefully and stared at her. “Don’t you remember what I said? And what did Mr. Zand say about you? Have you forgotten? Even if you don’t like to wear it, you should at least wear a few pieces, right? Otherwise, do you expect me to lend you my clothes? I can lend you my clothes, but the size of our clothes is different. You won’t feel comfortable wearing them.”
Without waiting for Feng Ling to speak, Ji Nuan turned back to ask the shop assistant to guide Feng Ling to the fitting room.
Feng Ling was helpless. She brought the clothes into the fitting room. She had worn a dress before when she was in the base. It was more sexy and tight-fitting than this kind of dress. At that time, she was especially unused to it, but she had no choice but to wear it.
Now, she suddenly changed her dressing style.
The baseball cap and sportswear were really comfortable.
She stood in the fitting room, looking at herself in the mirror, and then at the pearl-colored dress in her hand.
Xiao Ba was standing outside, urging, “Feng Ling, don’t waste time. CEO Ji specially took time out today to accompany you to shop and buy clothes. Give her some face. Right now, her time is so precious and she still is taking the time with you.”
Feng Ling: “… ”
A few minutes later.
The door of the fitting room opened.
The moment Feng Ling walked out, Xiao Ba, who had been waiting outside, almost splashed the milk tea on herself.
