Feng Ling stood up, threw the document in her hand lightly on the table, and said coldly, “I don’t want to.”
With that, she turned to leave.
Ji Nuan followed her out and said, “If you really don’t want to see him, then you don’t have to see him. I respect your decision on the cooperation.”
“You can discuss business cooperation however you like. Just don’t bring me out. I’ll be studying at Mr. Zand’s home this week. If I don’t have time, I might stay at his place. After all, he has a lot of rooms. It’s very convenient for me to have a bedroom.”
Seeing Feng Ling’s determination, Ji Nuan understood her thoughts and nodded. “All right.”
…
Two days later, Li Nanheng arrived empty-handed. No matter the occasion, Feng Ling never showed up, nor did she follow Ji Nuan out.
After waiting for several days without seeing anyone, Li Nanheng stood in Ji Nuan’s office before signing the contract with MN Group. He threw a stack of contracts on her desk expressionlessly and asked coldly, “Where is she?”
Ji Nuan sat behind the desk, calmly looking at him and saying, “She didn’t want to see you. She took a few days off from me and didn’t come to the company.”
Li Nanheng glanced at him coldly. “CEO Ji is so straightforward now.”
Ji Nuan chuckled lightly, but her smile did not reach her eyes. “We can be considered old friends. I’m just saying what I want to say. Don’t tell me I have to tactfully tell you that Feng Ling isn’t here. Oh, why isn’t she here? Isn’t it because she doesn’t want to see you? Why should I take such a big detour? Isn’t it a waste of my breath?”
Li Nanheng just looked at her. His two strong arms rested on her desk. He narrowed his eyes coldly and stared at her face. “All right. After all, she is still in the learning stage in London. If there are no problems, I won’t disturb her progress. Since CEO Ji is so independent and even wants to interfere with Feng Ling’s matters, why don’t you keep an eye on her private life and make her study hard while she is studying abroad? Don’t get too close to those men who came out of nowhere.”
Ji Nuan kept a straight face and almost fell when she heard this.
She looked at the man in front of her who was warning her with a straight face but was clearly jealous. She maintained her cold expression. “I don’t care about Feng Ling’s private life, but based on the relationship between sisters and friends, I think it’s a good choice to let her interact more with others and forget about her past as soon as possible.”
Li Nanheng said in a low voice, “Do you think she is you?”
“What’s the difference between her and me? She knows how to hold back more than I do, but when a person who is used to holding back suddenly erupts, no one will be able to bear the consequences. I believe that she has already exploded. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so helpless against her now.” Ji Nuan’s expression was no longer cold but indifferent.
A layer of frost appeared on Li Nanheng’s cold brows, but he did not explain anything. He only said, “Since she is following you now, watch over her. You know what I mean. Don’t try to separate us and harm yourself. Her thoughts can’t contain anything else. If you dare to push her around and make her feel guilty, or cause her to be unable to break away from some unnecessary circle, it will become a burden in her heart. Ji Nuan, when my temper is poor, I won’t give Mo Jingshen any face.”
Originally, Ji Nuan had always been joking. How could she possibly play matchmaker? However, Li Nanheng’s last words caused Ji Nuan’s expression to instantly freeze.
“What does it have to do with me whether you give Mo Jingshen a face or not?” Ji Nuan was expressionless. “Do I know him well?”
Li Nanheng only sneered. He glanced at the contract in front of her, picked up the pen, and signed it. Then he dropped the pen and turned to leave without looking back.
Outside the door, Xiao Ba saw Li Nanheng’s back and whispered, “Wow, my god, he’s so cool. I’ve never seen this legendary Mr. Li before. I didn’t expect him to be so handsome. He’s Feng Ling’s…”
Ji Nuan’s expression was cold because Li Nanheng had just mentioned Mo Jingshen. As soon as Xiao Ba came in, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. She quickly shut her mouth. Seeing that the business contract had been signed, she stepped forward, picked it up, and left, not daring to speak anymore.
…
Feng Ling didn’t want to see him. Seeing that she was still in the learning stage, Li Nanheng didn’t look for her. Although he knew that she was with Mr. Zand and could use this opportunity to bring her back, he still gave her time to study quietly and didn’t disturb her.
However, before Li Nanheng left London, he warned Mr. Zand to keep his brother away from Feng Ling. He told him not to touch any woman that he shouldn’t touch. Otherwise, it was hard to say if he would visit London again. By then, it wouldn’t be as simple as a warning.
In the next few months, although Mr. Ian was still very interested in Feng Ling, Feng Ling was like a block of wood. She didn’t even agree to treat him to a meal. She always took a detour when she saw him and even became smarter. Every time she went to Mr. Zand’s home, she would ask someone to drive with her, so as to avoid him from sending her there. In short, she never gave him any chance.
More importantly, because of Li Nanheng, Mr. Zand had doubts about Feng Ling’s past. Previously, he had thought that she was a little girl who had finally returned to the Feng family after suffering a few years of hardships. He didn’t expect that her relationship with Li Nanheng was not simple. Mr. Zand had always been a smart person and knew how to control himself. He had never taken the initiative to matchmake her.
Although Li Nanheng did not see Feng Ling, he had already achieved his goal by coming to London personally.
…
America, Los Angeles.
Li Corporation.
Li Nanheng leaned against the leather chair behind the desk and played with the pen with one hand. He closed his eyes to listen to Xiao Xu’s report.
“On the 20th of August, Feng Ling and Ji Nuan went to Paris to participate in the first show of Bestling. They stayed in France for a week and met several French partners.”
“On the 3rd of September, Feng Ling met the general manager of the London GK Corporation alone and discussed a cooperation project worth 400 million yuan.”
“September 8th, Feng Ling…”
Then there was the mention of the charity dinner sponsored by the London International Bank. When Mr. Ian personally invited Feng Ling to attend it as his female companion, Xiao Xu looked at the report and paused for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at Li Nanheng who was so composed as if he was sure that Feng Ling would never attend.
“On the 15th of September, Feng Ling attended the charity dinner as Mr. Ian’s female companion. The business media in London recognized her as Mr. Ian’s girlfriend.”
!?
Li Nanheng suddenly opened his eyes!
