After sleeping all day long, Feng Ling couldn’t stand it anymore.

  The next day, before Li Nanheng went out, he told her just to stay at home to recuperate and not to go anywhere, so Feng Ling shut herself in the bedroom all day, sleeping or staring in a daze.

  She didn’t watch TV very much. At most, she occasionally read some news that had nothing to do with her on her cell phone.

  Suddenly thinking of her cell phone, she rummaged around for a long time before finding the cell phone that had been turned off because of water damage. She turned it on and found that it was still usable, but the power was less than 10% left.

  She called K who was a bit agitated on the phone. “Are you okay, Feng Ling? You almost scared me to death! Why didn’t you fight back when that bastard hit your head against the wall?! I didn’t mean that, you fool! You really scared the heck out of me! Fortunately, Boss went in time. Otherwise, we would have been dead!”


  Feng Ling was really surprised that Li Nanheng arrived so quickly, but she didn’t ask him. After all, even if she asked, Boss Li probably was too lazy to tell her.

  “Why did he get there so timely?” Now she could ask K.

  “Boss was on a mission not far from the military area. He had planned to pick us up after the mission that day,” K said. “After the Boss heard what I said on the phone, he knew those guys were harboring evil intentions, so he hurried over. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been there so quickly.”


  That was to say, from the beginning, Li Nanheng did not intend to let her stay there for too long. He just gave the people of the military face.

  Although he said it would be five days, he had come to pick them up in less than four days.

  Should she thank him for rescuing her? Otherwise, she and K would have died there.

  ——


  Feng Ling slept for a while in the morning and didn’t sleep much in the afternoon. Before going out, Li Nanheng handed her a password-protected card and a key, saying that it was the key to the apartment downstairs. If she was bored, she could go there and take a look, but except for these two apartments, she was not allowed to go anywhere, and she couldn’t get out unless she fully recovered.

  She didn’t go down to see the apartment. Anyway, she couldn’t live there now. Boss Li said that the apartment was only simply decorated without any furniture, and she could only sleep on the floor.

  At eight-thirty in the evening……

  Feng Ling took a bath while Li Nanheng hadn’t come back. She carefully avoided touching the wounds on her head while taking the shower. Then she came out and dried her hair. When she put on her clothes, she remembered that she forgot to let K send her suitcase over.

  However, Li Nanheng didn’t tell her the address here, and she didn’t know if K knew where she was now, so she could only give up.

  She had been paying attention to the wounds on her head when she just took a bath, so she didn’t brush her teeth. There was a new toothbrush Li Nanheng bought for her yesterday in the bathroom, so she began to brush her teeth with the new toothbrush.

  Suddenly she heard the door open. She glanced sideways and saw that Li Nanheng entered the door.

  The man seemed to bring in the coldness outside. He walked in and took off his jacket. He was wearing a set of dark gray cashmere sweater and trousers, which perfectly set off his tall and sturdy figure. For some reason, he looked somewhat approachable and gentle today.

  Feng Ling brushed her teeth quickly and went out. “Boss.”


  Li Nanheng glanced at her who seemed to be ready to go to bed. “Did you go out today?”


  Feng Ling looked straight at him. “Of course, I didn’t.”


  She spoke as if she would never ever disobey him.

  Then why did she stubbornly refuse to tell him the truth when he wanted to know it?

  Li Nanheng glanced at her with a smile. “Okay, good, go to rest. I’m tired.”


  She could guess that he must have been running around trying to solve this matter these days. Even if he didn’t say anything about it, the one she killed was the commander of the military area. This matter was definitely not easy to solve.

  Feng Ling didn’t say anything but walked towards him. Then she vaguely smelled liquor on him. She looked at him. “Boss, did you drink?”


  “Yes.” The man’s voice was a little hoarse. He raised his hand and squeezed between his eyebrows. “I drank a few bottles with some old friends in the military area. The old men of the Li family also came today. With them there, I could only play the role of their grandson.”


  Feng Ling: “.……”


  Come on, you’re their grandson……

  He spoke as if he was wrong by the seniors of the Li family. Did he mean that with his grandfathers there, he had to keep a low profile?

  “Go to rest. I’m going to take a bath. The liquor smell is terrible,” he said and turned into another bedroom.

  Feng Ling didn’t follow him. After a moment of silence, she turned into the kitchen, poured a cup of warm water, and put it on the coffee table. Then she turned back to her room.

  She returned to the bathroom in her room and cleaned the foams in her mouth. Suddenly, she saw the bedroom door opened and Li Nanheng walked in with a toothbrush.

  “I’m here to brush my teeth.” The tall man walked into the bathroom and said briefly.

  Feng Ling was stunned. “Why here?”


  “The toothpaste in my bathroom was used up this morning. And I forgot to buy a new one.” Then, the man picked up the toothpaste and the cup she used and was about to brush his teeth.

  Feng Ling stood aside and said nothing, even though she saw that he used the cup she had used. It was not the first time anyway……

  She should go out and leave, but for some reason, she just stood aside and watched him brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth. The man washed his face with cold water, propped his hands against the sink, and asked her in a low voice, “What are you looking at?”


  “Well, I have nothing to do, so I’ll just stand here.”


  The man seemed to smile, then suddenly looked at her, and said in a dumb voice, “I drank.”


  “.……I know.”


  “Then why don’t you hide from me?”


  “Huh?”


  Feng Ling hadn’t figured out what he meant, and the man’s breath suddenly approached. He lifted her chin and a kiss fell on her lips——
