Chapter 1295: The Story of Ling and Heng (558)

Even though he knew she wanted to avoid him by sleeping, Li Nanheng did not say anything.

It was good to rest more. After all, they would have to fly for a long time.

Li Nanheng glanced at her. Seeing that she had closed her eyes and was no longer moving, he signaled Xiao Xu and the others to sit on the other side.

Li Nanheng walked over and sat down on the sofa next to Feng Ling. He turned to look at the woman who was “asleep” with her eyes closed. He looked at her coat and reached out to help her lift it.

Initially, Feng Ling didn’t want to have any direct contact with him. She just wanted to avoid him by sleeping.

But red wine was probably good for sleeping, especially good red wine.

Even if it was just a cup or a few sips, she closed her eyes and sat quietly for a while before falling asleep.

…

The helicopter landed on a private helipad in the suburbs of New York. Several cars were already waiting outside.

After the plane landed, the members of the base quickly walked out. Xiao Xu also glanced at Li Nanheng and Feng Ling before getting off the plane.

Feng Ling was still sleeping, and Boss was sitting by her side, watching her unhurriedly. He didn’t seem to be in a hurry to get off the plane.

“Boss, New York Airlines is too strict. In order to avoid trouble, we’ll leave her here and drive her back to the Feng family. Should we send her back now, or…”

“No rush. Let’s wait for her to wake up.” Li Nanheng’s tone was mild.

He had already taken her back to America, so he was not in a hurry. Whether it was New York or Los Angeles, they were both within his reach and not in England.

Boss Li was unwilling to wake Feng Ling up. Sure enough, the tempered steel becomes soft in front of Feng Ling.

Xiao Xu did not disturb him any further and got off the plane.

Feng Ling continued to sleep for a while. It was already bright outside. It was past seven in the morning.

Seeing that Feng Ling was still asleep, Li Nanheng bent down and picked her up in a princess carry. He tried not to wake her up.

He carried her off the plane and was about to get into the car when Xiao Xu walked over. “Boss, let’s go to the car in front. Let the brothers of the base drive the other cars away first. I’ll go to XI Base and inform them.”

“En,” Li Nanheng answered mildly and continued to carry Feng Ling.

Feng Ling was indeed asleep. If no one touched her, she would be in a deep sleep. However, no matter how steady Li Nanheng’s embrace was, he still shifted away from the sofa.

Xiao Xu whispered to Li Nanheng, “Boss, take her to the back. I’ll drive.”

“It’s fine. I’ll drive.”

“But if we put her down like this, we might wake her up…”

“She’s already awake.”

Xiao Xu :”…”

Feng Ling :”…”

Feng Ling opened her eyes and looked at the man who had seen through her.

Seeing her open her eyes, Li Nanheng smiled and looked at her. “You’re finally willing to open your eyes?”

Feng Ling took advantage of the way the man carried her into the car, pushed him, and went to sit at the back of the car, unwilling to sit with him.

Seeing the atmosphere, Xiao Xu felt that he shouldn’t be an eyesore here, so he didn’t follow them in and turned to go to another car.

Li Nanheng saw that Feng Ling sat at the back and didn’t say anything. He opened the door of the passenger seat and drove the car away.

This car was very large. He was in front and she was behind. The two of them did not interact much.

When they crossed a highway and drove to New York City, Li Nanheng said, “Before you went to England, you should have known that you had a grandmother. You met her once, but she was ill for a long time and stayed in the hospital in a daze. After she woke up, she learned about everything and couldn’t take the blow. Her health hasn’t been good for the past two years. She lives in Los Angeles’s sanatorium. You’re in New York. If you have time in the future, go back and visit her.”

Feng Ling did not speak.

She had considered her grandmother’s matter before and had asked her grandparents about it on the phone. She planned to bring her grandmother to New York after returning to America.

She didn’t have much familial love since she was young, but she only had a few family members who were good to her. However, they all doted on her, so she knew what to do.

Especially the jade pendant on her back then. It seemed like it was given to her by her grandmother.

“En.” She didn’t have much to say about this matter.

Feng Ling was silent. This silence was different from the cautious and quiet she used to be in the base.

She had completely isolated him from the world.

Li Nanheng drove and looked at her through the rearview mirror. “What plans do you have after returning to New York?”

Feng Ling ignored him and looked down at her phone for a while. Xiao Ba sent her a message asking why she was missing. She was still considering how to answer her question about how she had flown back to New York overnight.

Ji Nuan must have received the news and had yet to ask her anything. As for Xiao Ba…

She was still hesitating on how to reply.

Li Nanheng suddenly stopped the car by the side of the road. Feng Ling’s fingers were pressing against the phone screen. He suddenly stopped the car and looked up at her.

The man looked at Feng Ling through the rearview mirror. Their eyes met. After looking at her for a moment, he said nothing and continued driving.

Feng Ling watched the man drive away and remained silent for a while. In the end, she did not say anything.

She had said everything she needed to say when he handed her the expulsion document of XI Base.

Li Nanheng was well aware of his decision.

Both of them were well aware of what was going on. That was why he had stayed away from her for so long.

The car was quiet. The man drove while the woman looked down at her phone.

In the rearview mirror, Feng Ling was basking in the sunlight. Her face was bare, and her long eyelashes were slightly lowered like a fan.

Li Nanheng didn’t know how much restraint he had used to not kidnap her back to Los Angeles but send her back to New York.

He was the one who chose this path for her. He took the risk that she would be angry and break off all ties with him to help her choose this path home. He also cut off the connection between her and XI Base. If he didn’t send her back to New York but brought her back to Los Angeles, he was really not a human being.

However, standing outside of reason, he didn’t want to send her back to New York.

The Feng Ling who had changed so much was what he wanted to see, but he was afraid to see her now.

The gap between them was like a ditch that they might not be able to cross in the past eight years. She was trying her best to avoid him. Although she did not show any anger, she was avoiding him all the time.
