Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing? - Chapter 818
Chapter 818: The Story of Ling and Heng (81)
Feng Ling smiled. Although it wasn’t obvious, compared to her typical, apathetic expression, for her, this was considered an understanding, happy smile.
“All right, then I’ll wait for the Boss to treat me.” As she spoke, Feng Ling placed the things in her arms into her shopping cart.
When they were queuing to checkout, Li Nanheng suddenly instructed her to go take two bottles of water from the nearby refrigerator. Feng Ling turned to do so and when she turned back, she saw that the man had casually brought a black card out of his pocket and handed it to the cashier.
When she saw that it was actually a black card, even the cashier was flabbergasted for a moment. A black card wasn’t something anyone could obtain. People who owned one were either filthy rich or especially influential. Why would someone of that category personally come to a supermarket to shop? Furthermore, everything in the shopping cart was cheaply-priced and easy to use. These things were unlike what someone who owned a black card would normally purchase.
However, the cashier did not dare to ask. She raised her head to see the tall, broad-shouldered man and subconsciously received the card to process the payment.
Feng Ling approached with the bottles in her arms but the cashier had already finished the payment. She then politely and respectfully placed the black card back onto the man’s hand.
“Boss, although these things aren’t expensive, they add up to at least three to four hundred dollars. I can settle the payment myself,” Feng Ling approached to say.
“Handle the two bottles of water in your arms.” The man only glanced at her once before he carelessly bagged the things in the shopping cart. He then left with the bags in his hands.
Feng Ling stared at the two bottles of water that added up to less than five dollars: “…”
By the time they returned to the hospital, it was late in the evening. Feng Ling avoided the night shift nurses once more as she made her way back to her room.
Li Nanheng, on the other hand, had come as a ‘family member’ to visit a patient and openly entered the hospital with two large bags of items. The night shift nurses stared at the things in his hands with strange expressions. First of all, they had no idea when this ‘family member’ had stepped out. Second of all, why on earth did he buy so many things? Could it be that he planned to stay in the hospital for a really long time?
The nurses naturally did not dare to ask. However, when Li Nanheng stepped out of the elevator with his things, they all watched him with envy. They suppressed the curiosity in their eyes and stared at the man’s back as he made his way back to the room.
After returning to her room, Feng Ling immediately took off her coat and drank some water. She then sat down on her bed.
Li Nanheng on the other hand, immediately helped her unpack the items she had bought. One by one, he arranged them neatly in the simple bathroom in her hospital room.
Who would have thought that Boss Li would have such a caring side.
Feng Ling watched the silhouette of the man in the bathroom. She did not realize it, but her lips had curled up slightly and her eyes were smiling.

Three days later.
Boss Li stayed for one night in the hospital. The next day, before the sun even rose, he received a phone call calling him back to the base.
Xiao Xu remained in the hospital with her. However, he mostly helped her prepare her meals or to purchase the medicine she needed for her inhalation therapy. Feng Ling spent most of her time quietly alone.
After so many years of endless training in the base, this was her first time living so quietly and mindlessly.
This feeling… it wasn’t exactly good, nor was it bad.
She felt idle and comfortable, but also extremely bored.
She told Xiao Xu that she wanted to be discharged in three days. Xiao Xu could not persuade her and could only give Boss Li a call. In the end, Boss Li did not agree and even warned her that she had to abide by the doctor’s arrangement to be hospitalized for a week. She would only be able to return to the base if the doctor confirmed after a week that she had made full recovery. Otherwise, nobody would allow her through the gates into the base.
Since they wouldn’t even open the gates for her, she really had no choice but to stay.
On the fourth day of her hospitalization, Xiao Xu left abruptly to handle some private matters. He would only be able to return the next day.
Feng Ling had just finished her inhalation therapy. She held the equipment in her arms and returned it to the nurse. Afterward, as she headed back to her own room, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Aunt, you really shouldn’t keep getting upset at my cousin. You see, it’s not the first time your heart is giving you problems. If she wants to be stubborn, just let her be. What’s the point of being upset? You shouldn’t take it out on your health like this. Besides, Cousin Mingzhu isn’t in the wrong for liking someone. Didn’t we meet Mr. Li that day? I feel that his character isn’t bad. Although he is slightly cold and distant, someone like that will surely be decent in the way he carries himself. He won’t be as hateful as those people who are careless and rowdy. Also, Mr. Li is really very handsome. You see, I grew up in America. What sort of muscle-headed man have I never met? Mr. Li doesn’t seem like that sort of muscle-headed man at all, but with one look, it’s clear that both his figure and ability is top-tiered. Furthermore, he is really very masculine. I feel that he has a unique charisma that draws people in. I don’t really know how to explain it, but I suppose every girl will feel moved towards someone like him, much less my cousin. Since young, she had always thought that she would marry him. Who would have thought she would be rejected? She’s been holding this in for so long, so it’s understandable that she has become so stubborn about it. In fact, I really understand where she is coming from.”
Madam Feng asked, “Moved? Could it be that you’re also moved by Li Nanheng?”
Qin Shuke held onto Qin Qiu’s elbow while giggling to answer: “Mr. Li is indeed quite handsome, but he is someone that Sister Mingzhu likes. I won’t fancy someone that she likes. No matter how handsome he is, I can’t let my heart move for my cousin’s fiance. If we really want to talk about being moved, I feel that that little handsome boy who is of similar age to me is much more suitable for me!”
Qin Qiu chuckled and rolled her eyes. “What fiance? The Li family has already cancelled the marriage agreement. He is no longer her fiance. He would rather place his name with your little cousin sister who has passed away, than marry your cousin Mingzhu. The Li family truly went out of line in doing this. But nonetheless, the marriage alliance between the Feng family and the Li family has to go on. Ai… I’m not sure what to do either.”
Feng Ling barely managed to understand what they were saying and did not think to avoid them in time. As a result, they met in the hallway where the patients’ rooms were located..
Qin Shuke was the first to notice Feng Ling. The moment she saw Feng Ling dressed in the light blue patient uniform, with a clear, delicate face that was unbelievably handsome, appearing as though she had stepped right out of a Japanese comic book, she immediately stared in disbelief. She spoke with some astonishment: “I was just about to say that I didn’t manage to successfully receive his phone number, and now I’ve actually managed to meet him again…”
“What?” Qin Qiu did not understand her meaning. She stared at her niece’s shining, excited expression and turned to see Feng Ling, who was standing there stiffly.
