Chapter 1288: The Story of Ling and Heng (551)

London, MN Group.

Feng Ling had been studying in England for a year, and the training arranged for her was almost complete. According to Elder Feng, he planned to send her back to the United States, to the Feng family that had settled down in New York, and to take over several businesses under the Feng Corporation. He wanted her to gradually adapt to being independent. This way, she would be able to make better arrangements for her future and learn how to use it.

However, she still had some unfinished business to tend to, so she was not in a hurry to leave. She was used to helping Ji Nuan and would head home after work.

As soon as she walked out, she saw the blue Bugatti parked there. It had been so long. Even if she hadn’t been in Mr. Ian’s car many times, she could recognize it at a glance.

It had only been a day since she had been his female companion to attend the charity dinner. Feng Ling had always thought that she could live in peace with this Mr. Ian. She had always been wary of such a shrewd man and had never really approached him. Perhaps because he knew that she was about to leave England, he seemed to have suddenly changed his way of pursuing her in recent days. In the past, he had only appeared occasionally, but because he did not receive her response, he had never put down his pride to do anything.

Recently, he had been showing up frequently. If he didn’t invite her to be his female companion, he had a gathering in the villa in London. He invited her to go with him, and there were all sorts of invitations. His proactive attitude was very obvious. From the initial reserved and steady way of pursuing her, he had gradually become more obvious.

However, Feng Ling only agreed to the dinner.

In fact, because of Mr. Zand’s concern, she agreed to go. Ji Nuan and Xiao Ba should have gone that day, but because Ji Nuan had a business meeting, Feng Ling had no choice but to go on behalf of MN Group. Initially, she had rejected Ian’s invitation, but she suddenly agreed a few hours before the evening party began. She had been in a hurry to attend the party. She had wanted to wear a simple dress, but Ian said that she couldn’t be too casual in such an occasion, so he specially drove her to a custom-made image center and asked someone to change her gown, make her hair, put on delicate makeup, and put on high heels.

At that time, because Feng Ling was too busy, she had no choice but to listen to the arrangement. When she finally came out, even a man who had been used to seeing women for more than thirty years was stunned.

She looked like a Cinderella who had transformed into a princess. The key point was that her eyes seemed to despise her own cumbersome dress and hairstyle, which made it easy for others to fall for her.

On the day of the dinner party, Feng Ling sat in his car and listened to his arrangement. In the end, she followed him in as his female companion.

However, she did not realize that the media would be present.

Feng Ling didn’t pay much attention to the rumors released by the business media today.

She was not a celebrity in the entertainment industry and did not mind such rumors. After all, she had nothing to do with Mr. Ian after she closed the door. There was no need for her to explain.

But why was he here again?

Feng Ling pretended not to see it and was about to go to the parking lot to look for her car when the blue Bugatti drove over and stopped in front of her.

She stopped in her tracks and looked at the window that was slowly rolling down.

Ian gave her a look to ask her to get in the car. Feng Ling looked at him calmly. “What’s up?”

Ian smiled and casually placed one hand on the steering wheel. He looked at her from the side. “We’ve known each other for so long. We can’t be considered strangers anymore. You know me quite well. Even if you don’t want to be my girlfriend, you shouldn’t be so wary of me. You won’t lose a piece of meat if you get into my car.”

“Yes, but there’s no need to,” Feng Ling said bluntly.

She had always been the kind of person who didn’t like to cause trouble for herself. Even though she knew it was impossible for her to like him, she never gave them any chance to get close to each other.

The dinner party the night before was just an exception. At that time, she had only gone to the London International Bank on Ji Nuan’s behalf. However, it did not mean that she had given Ian face.

“Yes, yes, yes, there’s no need.” Ian reached out and opened the door of the passenger seat. “I’ll take you to see something. After you’re done, you can leave. I won’t stop you.”

Feng Ling did not move.

“You’re going back to America soon. What else can I do?” Seeing her stubborn temper, Ian’s eyes seemed to be a bit helpless. “Miss Feng, give me some face. After all, I’ve always been good to you. No matter what, we’re still friends. You can’t be so heartless to your friends.”

Feng Ling glanced at the time and then at him. “What do you want me to see?”

“Get in the car. I’ll show you. Don’t say that I have any ill intentions toward you. Even if I did, I’m afraid I won’t be able to beat you. Just get in the car.” Ian smiled.

Feng Ling’s eyes were slightly impatient. She hated dealing with these feelings that exceeded her expectations, but she did not hate Ian. This man was very smart and gentlemanly. He would never do anything that would annoy others. He would always stop when necessary.

She opened the car door and sat in. As she fastened her seat belt, she said lightly, “Where to? How far? How long?”

“Very close.”

“Half an hour.” She raised her head to look out of the window and suddenly said these words.

Ian understood that she was only giving him half an hour.

Perhaps it was because he was in a high position and had been entangled with those women who were as passionate as fire, but Feng Ling, who hid all the thorns on her body and coldly forbade anyone from approaching, had become his favorite. She had even become a mole in his heart. Gradually, he was unwilling to maintain such a distant relationship.

He still wanted to conquer her.

However, it was difficult to do so. She was cold and distant.

Perhaps, she could only attack her heart. Bit by bit, slowly.

Ian drove the car to the bottom of the London International Bank Building. The building was seventy stories high and was considered above average among all the buildings in London. There was a very wide and large rooftop above it. After getting out of the car, he indicated for her to follow him. Feng Ling was confused but still followed him.

The two of them walked into the elevator and saw that Ian had pressed the button for the rooftop.

She looked at him suspiciously. “Why are you going to the rooftop of your building?”

Ian smiled. “I’m taking you to the rooftop to threaten you. I’m forcing you to be my girlfriend. If you refuse, I’ll jump down.”
