Chapter 1401: The Story of Ling and Heng (664)
Afterward, when the Feng family was in trouble, although the Li family had stepped forward to comfort them, the two elders of the Feng family were clearly not in the mood to pay them any attention. Now that the two children were basically bound, the six of them should ease their relationship. However, did the two elders of the Feng family have any thoughts about Li Nanheng?
Although Feng Ling had reunited with her grandparents, in the past few years, she had been busy studying in England and working in the company. In fact, she rarely accompanied them. At most, they would have a meal together when they returned to the Feng family to talk about the current situation.
Furthermore, her grandparents also knew a little about the relationship between Li Nanheng and her. They never said anything, nor did they force them to be together, nor did they intend to separate them. They respected her choice.
Furthermore, Feng Ling had always made decisions for herself since she was young. If they were to get married one day, she did not need to consider if anyone else would agree.
She answered honestly: “My grandparents won’t interfere in these matters.”
The four old men said in unison, “Oh—it seems like we should find time to go to New York to discuss the children’s marriage with the two elders.”
Third Elder Li: “Feng Ling will be our granddaughter-in-law in the future. At the very least, in the future, our relationship with the Feng family will be even closer than before. The four of us will be each other’s companions. Let’s go around the world to see Sunset Glow’s tour group…”
Fourth Elder Li: “Feng Ling, this granddaughter-in-law, is reliable. I think the two elders of the Feng family don’t have any objections to our Nanheng. This matter, ah, it can be considered settled just like this.”
Feng Ling’s gaze scanned the four elders’ faces. She wondered if they had really come up to persuade her to marry Li Nanheng.
Li Nanheng finally finished his apple unhurriedly. It seemed like he was almost done with the topic of marriage. He put down the apple core and reached out to pull Feng Ling, who was sitting by the side, toward him. He wrapped his long arm around her shoulder: “We can get engaged first. When my eyes recover, we can marry again. I have to see my wife in a wedding dress marrying me.”
In an instant, the four elders of the Li family’s eyes focused on Feng Ling. Their eyes were filled with various meanings, but they were basically asking for her opinion.
They were asking her if an engagement would work.
Feng Ling felt her head swelling.
Feng Ling was slightly embarrassed by the Li family’s four elders. Before she could speak, Li Nanheng suddenly patted her shoulder. “Leave it to me. You can go prepare lunch.”
Feng Ling immediately stood up as though she had been granted amnesty and ran into the kitchen.
Li Nanheng knew too well that Feng Ling wouldn’t be able to say such words even if she wanted to agree. In fact, Feng Ling had always been quiet. She seemed to be very good at hiding her thoughts, but in fact, she was a very transparent person. He could feel her happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. He could also feel whether she was willing to get engaged.
When the four old men saw that Li Nanheng was so considerate as to let Feng Ling escape first, they turned their eyes to him, waiting for him to give them an explanation.
The moment Feng Ling stepped into the kitchen, Li Junyan’s stern voice came from the sofa: “Li Nanheng.”
Li Nanheng curved his lips. “All right, I know what you’re anxious about. She’s destined to be your granddaughter-in-law. Even if she’s been in the base for several years, she’s still a girl from the inside out. How can you put her in the spotlight? I’ll answer for her. You can prepare for the engagement. You can contact the two elders of the Feng family anytime.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
Feng Ling was preparing lunch in the kitchen. At this moment, she couldn’t see the anxious expressions of the four elders of the Li family. It was as though they wished that four or five great-grandchildren would immediately jump out of her and Li Nanheng’s home to call them grandfathers. If Li Nanheng hadn’t promised them that he would work hard to use medicine and get married as soon as possible so that they could give birth to a great-grandchild for them, the four elders would have directly fed Li Nanheng several bowls of deerwhip soup and locked the two of them in the same room.
Just as the elders outside were heatedly discussing how they would take turns to take care of the children if they had a daughter or a son, Feng Ling poked her head out of the kitchen and carefully interrupted: “Um, may I ask if you guys can eat spicy food? Is it lighter or heavier?”
Third Elder Li quickly let go of Fourth Elder Li’s collar and walked out peacefully from the discussion about who would take care of the child first. He smiled towards the kitchen door. “We can eat everything. We’re not old enough to eat soft food. There’s no need to prepare too much. Don’t work too hard and don’t trouble yourself.”
Feng Ling looked a bit confused. She didn’t know why the four old men were arguing so hard.
Li Nanheng sat on the sofa, holding the blanket and holding his forehead to hold in his laughter.
Li Junyan suddenly cleared his throat. “Let me tell you, Li Nanheng. The four of us are still alive. We don’t know if we’ll live long. If you dare to delay any longer, we won’t be able to hold a great-grandchild. You can pack up and leave. Don’t even think about taking the inheritance rights to the base or the Li family. If you can’t have a child, we’ll take away your inheritance rights. When we donate all our assets to the charity organization, you’ll have to rely on Feng Ling to support you in your next life. If she doesn’t want you, you’ll have to live on the wind…”
Feng Ling did not hear it clearly in the kitchen, but when she heard that Li Nanheng would depend on her to raise him in his next life, her hands trembled and she almost cut the knife on her fingers.
At this moment, the third and fourth brothers coughed a few times, indicating for Li Junyan not to be too harsh with his words. After all, he was their own grandson.
Li Junyan glared at them. “Do you have any objections?”
“…No problem, no problem.”
“Look at him. He’s not young anymore. He’s already f*cking thirty-years-old, yet he’s stubbornly staring at Feng Ling. He’s been staring at her for more than ten years, yet he hasn’t given birth to a great-grandchild for me. Have you eaten the things I asked Xiao Xu to send over last time? If you haven’t, I’ll let Feng Ling stew it for you right now. Deerwhip, bullwhip, pig kidney, and goat kidney, stew it all!”
Li Nanheng’s expression instantly darkened: “I have to clarify a very important point. Right now, my eyes are the only problem. I didn’t hurt anything I shouldn’t have.”
“I don’t care if you’re injured or not. As long as my great-grandson doesn’t come out, I’ll feed you for a day!”
Li Nanheng held his face in pain.
Who would have thought that he, the great Li Nanheng, would actually be reduced to the point of having his kidney nourished in the heat of the sun. The key was that Feng Ling always insisted on following the doctor’s instructions and could not exercise vigorously. As long as the doctor did not relent, she would not even allow him to kiss her. Instead of feeding him those things, he would rather feed them all to her.
