Chapter 1399: The Story of Ling and Heng (662)
The elders of the Li family were originally quite relaxed. After being warned by Li Junyan, when they saw Feng Ling open the door, they couldn’t relax anymore.
Feng Ling was very polite. After all, she had long known about the Li family’s four elders’ bad temper. She nodded at them as soon as she opened the door. “Elder Li…”
However, she wasn’t sure if she should address him as Elder Li or call him Boss.
Thankfully, before she could speak, Li Junyan spoke first. “En, is Nanheng still resting?”
“No, he woke up very early. Recently, his body has been recovering well. There’s no need for him to stay in the bedroom,” Feng Ling said as she opened the door and brought over a few new indoor slippers.
In the living room, Li Nanheng, who had already tidied up the messy pillows and blankets on the sofa, sat upright. He picked up a glass of cold honey water from the coffee table and raised his brows at the elders as though nothing had happened: “You’re here?”
The four elders of the Li family had not seen Li Nanheng since he was discharged. Seeing Li Nanheng’s natural expression, they almost thought that his eyes had recovered.
But with a closer look, they knew that it was not good.
Li Nanheng could only pinpoint their location with his voice. Although he was looking in their direction, the focus in his eyes could not completely match theirs.
Although there were no longer any marks on the sofa, the coffee table was filled with a glass of water, a plate of half-eaten fruit, and an iPad.
However, the collar of Li Nanheng’s clothes had been slightly torn apart by Feng Ling’s earlier struggle. There was also a red mark on his exposed collarbone that had been accidentally scratched by her nails. Although it was very light, which meant that it wasn’t heavy, it was clear at a glance that it had just happened.
The Li family elders :”…”
With the four elders’ experience, how could they not see what had just happened in this quiet living room? The atmosphere immediately became a bit strange. They all considered if they had come at the wrong time.
Feeling the strange atmosphere, Li Nanheng: “?”
“Nanheng, how do your eyes feel?” Li Junyan spoke first.
Since they were already here, it wouldn’t affect the two of them in broad daylight. At most, they wouldn’t stay here at night and wouldn’t disturb them.
“It’s fine. I can see some light occasionally.” Li Nanheng put down the honey water in his hand and raised his hand weakly. “This is the place I lived in a few years ago, not Feng Ling’s. Don’t be so reserved. She was afraid that you would be too reserved when you went to her place, so she specially changed places.”
“What’s yours? What’s yours is hers.” Li Junyan walked over and sat down next to Li Nanheng.
The other three old men also sat on the sofa by the side. However, Third Elder Li was never idle. After sitting for a moment, he stood up and sized up Li Nanheng’s apartment in Los Angeles. After all, he had never had the opportunity to visit it before.
Hearing Elder Li’s words, Feng Ling was speechless and could only look at Li Nanheng.
Li Nanheng habitually tugged the blanket over his lap. Although he couldn’t see, he could feel it. Under the gaze of the four elders and Feng Ling, he raised his brows. “Yes, what’s mine is hers. My grandfather is her grandfather. Sooner or later, she’ll have to enter the Li family. Feng Ling, do you hear me? Prepare yourself mentally. There’s no need to call him Elder Li anymore. Just call him Grandfather Li.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Feng Ling, I’m your third grandfather.”
“I’m your fourth grandfather.”
“I’m your second grandfather.”
Grandfather Li Junyan: “…Cough.”
Feng Ling’s expression was even stranger than the four old men.
Due to Feng Ling’s discomfort, the atmosphere in the guest hall had once again reached an indescribable state. Even though Feng Ling felt that it was unlikely, at this moment, she felt that the four old men, who had always been domineering, really seemed to have come to ask for a granddaughter-in-law.
In fact, she was not used to crowded places. Only in front of the brothers who were especially close to her, and in front of Li Nanheng, could she occasionally relax herself. Now that the four elders were all here, she really could not do as she pleased.
However, with the thought that the four elders were just observing her, she pretended not to hear what they had said and coughed as though nothing had happened. “Would the four of you like some tea?”
“No need to trouble, no need to trouble!” After saying that, Fourth Elder Li quickly glanced at Elder Li.
Li Junyan also suddenly understood from Feng Ling’s homely outfit. “Yes, there’s no need to trouble yourself.”
The four old men glanced at each other and then sat on the sofa. They sat upright and stared at Feng Ling’s face as though they were waiting to see a flower on her face grow.
Feng Ling didn’t know what to say. She felt that she had to find something to do. She definitely couldn’t sit across the sofa and let the elders stare at her like Li Nanheng did. She had to use the excuse of making tea to escape.
Two minutes passed. The living room was completely silent. The elders found it unbelievable.
Previously, Li Nanheng had just returned to Los Angeles. When they were in the hospital, the four elders of the Li family had met Feng Ling. Although Feng Ling did not loiter outside Li Nanheng’s ward, she had been waiting silently in the hospital. When they met by chance, although she had long hair like this, she still looked the same as when she was in the base. She was calm and indifferent and only nodded politely to the four elders.
However, when they entered, they saw that Feng Ling was dressed in a set of home clothes similar to Li Nanheng’s. Her hair was tied up, and she looked clean and busy like a little daughter-in-law. She completely lost the cold and sharp aura she had in the base.
It turned out that this little girl Feng Ling also had such a feminine side. The little girl appeared to be reserved and polite. She didn’t speak much, but she was also very likable. Although her character was cold, she was very meticulous. In the future, if she gave birth, she would definitely be a good mother.
