Chapter 1104: The Story of Ling and Heng (367)
When this man insisted, she simply couldn’t refuse any of his decisions. Feng Ling had no choice but to get in the car.
She was about to close the door, but the man hurriedly sat beside her instead of sitting on the passenger seat.

…
Feng Ling wanted to ask him why he didn’t sit in front, but she knew she wouldn’t get the answer she wanted, so she simply shut up.
The man didn’t look at her and just told the driver the destination. Then he looked at the time on his wrist and showed her the watch.
Feng Ling was confused. She looked at the watch and there were a few small letters on the shiny dial. She knew very little about luxury goods when she was at XI Base. Later, when she went to Boston, she often listened to those trainees talking about luxury goods, so she recognized that this black watch worn by Li Nanheng was a limited-edition sports-style Patek Philippe watch that was worth more than ten million dollars.
She thought that the man was showing off his watch or simply trying to find a topic, so she said politely:
The watch looks nice.

Li Nanheng:
…

He really wanted to open her head to see what was in it.


It’s already five o’clock. Come back after the meal. It is not suitable for you to be walking outside.
Li Nanheng glanced at her as an explanation of what he meant by showing her the watch.
Feng Ling was stunned for a moment, realizing that she had misunderstood his meaning just now.
She hummed without saying anything more.
But although it was really close to the food court she wanted to go to, this busy road was often congested. Now it was the rush hour and the traffic jam would probably last until half-past six. The taxi was blocked at the intersection for more than ten minutes.
Feng Ling was sitting in the car and listened to Li Nanheng answering the phone. Although he was in T City, he still had a lot of things to deal with and often received calls from the United States.
She took advantage of this moment and gazed at the man sitting next to her. From such a close distance, she could see that the man’s eyes were deep and clear. When he answered the phone, he seemed to hesitate for a while and then said something to the person on the phone. The street light outside the car window shone in, casting a shadow on the bridge of his high nose.
After another ten minutes, the car finally drove to the entrance of the food court.
Li Nanheng got out of the car and when she was about to come out, he turned around and reached out to help her get out of the car, but Feng Ling didn’t hold that hand but supported her hand on the seat behind her and moved out bit by bit.

Seeing that she didn’t even want to touch his hand, Li Nanheng stood outside the car, staring at her deadpan.
After getting out of the car, Feng Ling looked up at him.
Let’s go in. We’ll go back after the meal. I won’t stay outside for long.

She heard Li Nanheng speak on the phone that he had something to discuss with others at night, so she guessed he might work in the study for a while after returning.
He grunted and watched her enter the food court. Although she was injured, she stood upright. Maybe because of the training in the base for many years, Feng Ling walked steadily and firmly.
After entering the food court, Feng Ling found that there were a lot of people inside at this time. Compared with the restaurants outside, this place was a bit messy and noisy and crowded with people. She finally found an empty seat, but her face turned pale because of being squeezed and hit by two passersby. She didn’t speak, sitting there looking around, looking for the rice noodles she had eaten with Ji Nuan before.
Li Nanheng noticed that her face turned pale after being hit just now. After making sure that she was safe, he asked,
Which store’s rice noodle would you like to eat?

Feng Ling turned around to look at him, only to see that Boss Li, who usually only appeared in upscale hotels, was standing in the crowd and looked like an ordinary man. He didn’t look as unapproachable as usual and was smiling at her affectionately.
Perhaps even if she wanted to go out to dig a pit to eat ‘Beggar’s Chicken,’ he would take her to find a place to dig the pit.

Feng Ling glanced back and pointed to a rice noodle stall with a lot of people around.
The last time Mrs. Mo brought me to eat at that stall. The rice noodles they made tasted pretty good.

A lot of people queued in front of the stall, which was the longest queue in the entire food court. There was no doubt that the food of that stall was not bad.

But there are too many people in the queue. Let’s just eat something else.
Feng Ling glanced at the other stalls, not knowing what to eat.
Seeing her hesitating, Li Nanheng said nothing and walked to the rice noodle stall.
When Feng Ling looked back, he had already gone over there.
Li Nanheng, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, was the only grandson of the Li family and the boss of XI Base, was now making a line to order food. No one dared to make him line up anywhere. The queue was so long… Would he jump in the line or something? Or would he simply pay the people in the queue and ask them to leave?
Feng Ling didn’t like either way. She had rarely come to such a place. She had never expected that Mrs. Mo, the wife of President Mo and the daughter of the Ji family, would know this place, where there was so much delicious and cheap food that Feng Ling fell in love with it the first time she came here.
So she didn’t want anyone to destroy the atmosphere.

Just when she was wondering if Li Nanheng would do that, she saw the tall man standing at the end of the line, waiting patiently.
He didn’t seem impatient at all. While queuing, he looked at other stalls nearby and bought her some snacks as if afraid that she would be bored waiting here alone.
