Chapter 1402: The Story of Ling and Heng (665)

“In short, when your eyes are better, you should tie the knot. If you should marry, you should marry. There won’t be any more delays.” Li Junyan put the walking stick in his hand aside and sat down on the sofa. He said as if closing the case, “Feng Ling has been with you for so many years. When she was in her teens, she was by your side. You’ve also guarded her for more than ten years. Let’s not talk about the things we old people did. In the future, you have to treat her well. You can’t abandon her. If you dare to use your heart to chase her and abandon your wife and child after marrying her, the four of us will directly hit you to death with the walking stick. Do you believe it?”

Li Nanheng’s expression changed from one of rubbing his face to one of rubbing his forehead. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “I believe you, I believe you.”

Although he understood the temper of the four elders in the Li family and knew that they always had different attitudes toward outsiders and their own people, this person had already taken Feng Ling’s side before marrying her. Should he be happy or worried?

“Elder Li.” Feng Ling placed a cold dish she had prepared on the table. “Earlier, I’ve already prepared the ingredients. They’re all dishes that can be made in ten minutes. There’s also a soup that will be ready in about twenty minutes. Do you have any other requests?”

“I don’t have any requests. I’m fine with anything. Just be careful and don’t tire yourself out.”

Li Nanheng gave Feng Ling, who was dumbstruck, a look to ask her to hide first. Feng Ling was indeed dumbstruck by the elders’ overly enthusiastic attitude. She nodded and turned to continue escaping.

However, after lunch was prepared, the dishes were placed on the table one by one. Feng Ling could not hide in the kitchen.

When she came out, she saw the four old men standing by the dining table, staring at the dishes on the table. They seemed to be in deep thought.

Feng Ling was quite confident in her cooking skills. She took it that they were surprised that she really knew how to cook. She glanced at the other side and walked to the sofa. Out of habit, she wanted to help Li Nanheng up. Although he did not need help since he could find his way to the table.

However, she could only find this opportunity to speak to him. When she helped him up from the sofa, she lowered her voice and asked, “What were you two talking about earlier?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just that these four old men came over to force me to marry you.” Li Nanheng made an OK gesture in front of her that only she could see. “Don’t worry, I’ve already made it clear.”

Feng Ling’s expression was strange. “What did you say?”

“Make it clear that you’re not willing to marry me for the time being. You might need some time to consider. So they should not force you. Even if you want to dump me one day, they won’t ask a single word. Don’t feel pressured.”

Feng Ling first nodded. She immediately relaxed a little. However, in the next second, she was startled and instinctively asked, “Why would I dump you?”

“Who knows if the rare passion you’ve shown in the past two months will be short-lived. After a while, you’ll kick me out.” Li Nanheng’s expression was firm.

Feng Ling: “…”

Although she knew that the man who had been speaking more and more slyly since he lost his sight was intentionally trying to trick her, she felt that she had never really expressed her attitude. No matter how he had talked to the four elders of the Li family, her original intention was that she would marry him anytime. Anyway, she was destined to be tied to this man for the rest of her life. Where else could she hide?

“I’ll marry you.”

She said softly.

Li Nanheng’s next words were abruptly cut off. The air seemed to quieten down for two seconds. Feng Ling turned to look at him and saw that the man was smiling without concealing it.

“Satisfied?” She continued in a low voice: “All right, let’s go eat.”

A short while later, the Li family’s five bachelors and Feng Ling sat around the dining table. They looked at the table full of piping hot food. There was Chinese food, Los Angeles food, and several old men picked up their cutlery.

“Delicious, delicious!”

“Good craftsmanship!”

“This girl Feng Ling is a treasure… I really couldn’t tell…”

“Nanheng’s appetite will be blessed in the future.”

“There aren’t many young ladies nowadays who can cook so well…”

“Although our Li family is in America, we still like Chinese food. Feng Ling is actually so good at Chinese food. It seems like she has been influenced by Nanheng a lot. This brat has been eating Chinese food since he was young…”

The elders were eating happily. They suddenly began to talk about Li Nanheng’s childhood. From when he was naughty, to when he was chased by Old Grandfather Li in the Li family’s backyard with a belt to when he was mischievous to the point where he could tear down the newly built dog shed in the villa next door. They talked about when his little friend’s ball fell into the well and he was brave enough to jump into the deep well to pick up the ball, to the point where he could climb up a tree to help the old man catch a bird that accidentally flew away. They talked about when he saw the police catching a criminal on the street and he leaned forward and stretched out his leg to trip the criminal who was running. After helping to catch the criminal, not only did he not receive any praise from the police, but he was even brought home and reprimanded for several hours. All sorts of shocking deeds were discussed by the elders like they were family treasures. In the end, they were afraid that it would be difficult to discipline this child, so they all decided to throw him into the base.

In the end, after being in the base for so many years, his character hadn’t changed. He didn’t expect that Feng Ling would grow up among those men. With Li Nanheng’s temper, Feng Ling was probably the only one in the world who could control him. He couldn’t even be bothered to look at the others.

Feng Ling’s brows could not help but twitch. She could only pretend that she did not care much about Li Nanheng’s past. She raised her hand to cover half of her face and resisted the trembling of her eyes and brows.

Li Nanheng’s expression was cold and heavy as he listened to the four elders who were especially talkative. He turned to Feng Ling, indicating that she didn’t have to take their words seriously. He then got up and fumbled for his phone, asking Feng Ling to dial the number of the supermarket downstairs. Feng Ling didn’t understand and thought that there wasn’t enough food, so she called.

After the call went through, Li Nanheng asked someone from the supermarket downstairs to send a few bottles of alcohol up. He specially chose the Old Bei Jing Erguotou, which only sold for a few dollars and was everywhere in China, but was extremely rare and expensive in Los Angeles.

After the wine was served, the old men were still regretful that there was no wine to drink. At that moment, they were extremely satisfied. They drank and ate as they chatted.

When they were drinking, the Fourth Elder of the Li family raised the extremely expensive Erguotou in his hand and said to Li Nanheng, “Since you have decided on each other, you should be loving and live a good life together.”
