Chapter 1129 - The Story of Ling and Heng (392) (1/2)

Feng Ling rushed to cover her ear. She looked up at him: “Don’t…”

The man paused slightly but he did not back away. He watched her closely and scanned her reddened ears and the composed expression she was struggling to hold onto: “So sensitive?”

Feng Ling covered her reddened ears to say: “My injuries are almost healed. Tomorrow evening, Mrs. Mo will be participating in an event. Although she didn’t ask me to go with her, this is still part of my job. I plan to resume working by her side tomorrow. I can’t keep using these small wounds as an excuse to laze around; I would be letting down Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo’s trust in me.”

“So?”

The man asked while checking the wounds on her elbow. Based on the way injuries were usually treated in the XI Base, this was indeed nothing to be concerned about. However, if Ji Nuan were to see them, she would likely chase Feng Ling off to rest at home.

“So don’t kiss anymore. If you leave any marks… How am I supposed to see Mrs. Mo tomorrow.” Feng Ling coughed. “I’m already injured. She’ll definitely check underneath my clothes.”

Li Nanheng was quiet. He lowered his head to watch her.

Although the man did not speak, his gaze was slightly hot. Feng Ling lifted her hands and adjusted her collar. She glanced at him, indicating with her eyes.

Li Nanheng suddenly chuckled and asked casually: “What did you think I was going to do to you?”

“…”

Not only were Feng Ling’s ears hot, she felt that even her face was burning up. She immediately said: “I’m returning to the bedroom to shower!”

She abruptly made to leave.

As Feng Ling walked around him, the man leaned down. Feng Ling faltered as her lips almost came into contact with his face. She lifted her head to see that the man was smiling at her.

“…” She glared at him.

“I’m at the very least your boyfriend. It’s fine if you won’t come to the evening party with me, but you should at least give me a kiss before you sleep.”

“…”

Boyfriend.

Previously, even when they were back in the base and in love, they had never addressed each other this way.

Was he considered her boyfriend now?

If he hadn’t forgotten that night on that snowy mountain, right now, he would already be loudly declaring himself as her man.

Feng Ling watched him without a change in expression: “It’s my responsibility to protect Mrs. Mo. This is unrelated to attending the evening party with you. Besides, for the past few years, we’ve both become used to being occupied with our own matters. What need is there to accompany…”

“Did you think that I like you so that you can keep giving me the cold-shoulder?”

“But…”

“There’s no buts. I’m asking if you will kiss me.”

“…”

“What can a kiss do?”

“It’ll make me happy.”

Feng Ling stared at him speechlessly. She then looked at his lips and at his face. Although she wasn’t short, when she stood in front of this man, the contrast between their heights was distinct. She lifted her head and quickly planted a kiss on his cheek before pushing him away to escape: “All right, I’m going to shower!”

The man chuckled in satisfaction and reached out to drag her back into his arms. He lowered his head to give her a deep kiss. Finally, when Feng Ling glared at him for not keeping his word, he kissed the corner of her lips gently: “Go on.”
