The sky outside had already darkened.
However, the room was well-lit.
The height difference between them was too big. Feng Ling leaned against the bedside as the man held onto her chin to kiss her. She felt somewhat breathless.
Whenever she became weak from his kisses, the man’s hands would move along her body and into her clothes… taking advantage of her…
“Li Nanheng, you can’t come to my room like this everyday.” Feng Ling pushed him away breathlessly. She shifted her head away to say: “You promised to allow me to continue acting as a man. I…”
“In front of them, not in front of me.” The man’s voice was right next to her lips. “In front of me, continue being a woman.”
Feng Ling wanted to say that it was impossible for her to become a woman in this lifetime, but in the next second, she was suddenly lifted up. She cried out softly in surprise. The man sat down on the bed and placed her on his lap. She placed her hands on his shoulders, surprised, and uncertain.
Earlier, she almost thought he would press her down on the bed to do as he pleased again…
She couldn’t help but say: “Don’t tell me you don’t plan on returning to your room tonight?”
“I don’t wish to return every night.” The man’s lips pressed against hers lightly as he spoke: “On which occasion was I not forcefully chased away by you?”
Feng Ling: “…”
As she sat on his lap, she felt something pressing against her dangerously. “I want to go down… uu.”
Her words had yet to finish when the man held the back of her head with one hand, forcing her to lean down and press his lips against hers.
——
A week later.
The people in XI Base discovered a problem.
Recently, it seems like the Li family’s elders were visiting the base frequently. Although they never alighted from the car, it seemed like they were always looking for Boss Li and were constantly refused.
It was another day.
Last night, Feng Ling had spent her night training those brats in the training ground. She went to bed past midnight.
In the end, Li Nanheng visited her room much later. He brought the little woman who was asleep into his arms and held her to sleep for the rest of the night.
The next morning, when Feng Ling opened her eyes to see Li Nanheng’s face, although she was slightly dumbstruck, she was not surprised at all.
She nudged the man aside and got up to wash up and prepare for morning training. After taking a shower, she stepped out of the bathroom to see that charismatic man sitting on her bed. His hair was messy and his gaze was not as stern as it typically was. Instead, he carried a few hints of seductive laziness from having just woken up.
“Previously, who was the one who said he would only visit me at night and would never stay overnight in my room? In the end, you still ate your words.” Feng Ling could not resist mocking him.
Li Nanheng glanced at her and unhurriedly put on his coat. He then turned back and told her mildly: “I’ll be living in the base for a few days. I should be back in a week.”
Feng Ling watched him “Isn’t it normal for you to leave the base for business? You even left for two to three years at one point. This is only a week-long trip. Why do you appear so reluctant to leave?”
The man appeared casual: “I was afraid I would miss you, so I came to hold you to sleep for a night. Is there a problem with that?”
It was only a week of absence from the base. It wasn’t as if Li Nanheng and her spent everyday stuck together, right?
Boss often left the base for business when he was busy. As he was in charge of this place, he needed to care for both internal and external matters.
A week was only seven days long. Was there anything out of the ordinary?
Feng Ling stood by the bathroom entrance and pursed her lip.: “It seems like time will be passing very slowly for you during your one week of absence.”
As the man watched her, a faint smile appeared on his lips. “Have you begun missing me?”
He stood up and approached her, pressing her against the bathroom door. He lowered his head to peck her lips. “During my absence, you might not be able to contact me on my phone. Stay in the base obediently. If there are any problems, let Han Jin and Xiao Xu know. They’ll help you.”
Feng Ling: “…Boss, you’ll be leaving for seven days, not seven years. I’ve been fine in the base for so many years. What are you worried about?”
“I worry because I love you. Even if you were bitten by a mosquito, my heart would similarly ache. Don’t you understand?” The man nipped her lips gently.
Feng Ling did not speak. She lifted her eyes to watch him.
Love her?
At this moment, the man’s phone rang. He kissed her lips again and paused to watch her before turning to receive the call.
She wasn’t sure what the call was about but the man’s tone was impatient. He coldly responded once and directly headed out. As he unlocked her room door, she keenly sensed that the man hesitated for a moment. However, he did not turn back as he closed the door behind him.
The room fell into silence.
——
For the next two days, Li Nanheng was absent. After showering, Feng Ling sat in the quiet room and found that she really could not adjust very well to it.
Furthermore, for the past two days, her eyelids had been twitching a lot.
Could it be that the Boss had been sent out on a dangerous mission?
His phone had to be turned off?
Late at night, Feng Ling tossed and turned on the bed. She really could not sleep and picked up her phone to dial a call to Li Nanheng. However, a message popped up informing her that the other party’s phone was turned off.
——
On the third day of Li Nanheng’s absence.
Early afternoon, training proceeded as per normal. During lunchtime, Feng Ling brought along her two little brats for further training. She was busy to the point where she could not make time for lunch, and did not manage to catch wind of the news going around in the cafeteria.
It was only in the evening, when she finally squeezed out sometime for a meal at the cafeteria that she heard the members on the other table discussing. “Boss Li is moving too fast, isn’t he? Previously, I heard that he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Why did he suddenly get married?”
“Who the fuck knows? I heard that the Li family and Feng family have always been close. Perhaps Boss Li and that Miss Feng have been engaged this whole time. With an engagement between them, Boss Li would not have been able to date anyone else. Perhaps now is a good time so he quickly married that beautiful young lady.”
“I think I previously saw the Feng family’s eldest daughter on the news. She should be the young lady that our Boss married, right? She seems both beautiful and talented, but she also appears slightly arrogant. I suppose when it comes to women, a little arrogance can’t do any harm. It’s even better if they are attractive. Our Boss must prefer this kind of woman, haha…”
“Doesn’t the Feng family only have one daughter? It has to be her. Our Boss sure is lucky with women. This is really too sudden. A few days ago, there was no news of this at all. Today, the news of him being married was suddenly released. It really caught us completely off guard—”
