Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Li Nanheng could hear hints of provocation in her voice; even if it was not provocation, at least, it seemed that her heart was truly composed. She did not find this place difficult to bear and even seemed to be enjoying her time here.

He shifted his eyes over, glancing at her coldly.

Feng Ling was shorter than him. Now that she was dressed in thick winter wear, the way she was tightly wrapped, made her appeared like a black bear dressed in a spacesuit. The cold words he was about to say changed right before they left his lips: “What’s the point in dampening your drive? The people trained by the XI Base should all carry the drive shared there. There’s no need to polish away all of your edges.”

Feng Ling did not say anything. She glanced backward and was about to urge him to return with her to eat.

However, the man turned back and continued looking afar. He asked mildly: “After living for twenty years, I’ve discovered that beyond trekking through a forest covered in landmines or charging through a rain of bullets to enter a terrorist’s base, nothing I’ve done is more courageous than admitting that I’ve fallen for you. And so, you chose to point your rifle at me and be punished in such a place because you prefer women, and you’re not interested in me?”

Feng Ling: “…”

Boss, the wind here is biting cold. Even as I’m dressed in thick winter wear, I feel chilled to my bones. Can we not talk about this topic right now?

Feng Ling swallowed her saliva and did not speak.

If she were a man, naturally, she would prefer women. The crux of the issue was that she wasn’t actually a man. Furthermore, right now, she was deeply disoriented. She did not know what it meant to like someone, yet she also vaguely felt that it was suitable for describing her current circumstance.

The reason why she had been so resistant was likely because she had not made any mental preparation before he had overbearingly left his stamp of possession on her. Furthermore, in her eyes, Boss Li was their Boss…

But if she had truly disliked him, there was no need even to bring up what had happened in his room that night. During the mission at the bar, if any other man had dared to press her up on the wall to kiss her, she likely would have slapped him to death.

Feng Ling could hear the cold wind by her ears. She did not answer, and Li Nanheng had also grown used to her avoidance of the topic. He looked at her indifferently from the side: “If you don’t wish to talk about me, let’s talk about you. As a young man, do you prefer noisy little girls like Qin Shuke or girls who are more tactful and easy to approach like Wen Leqing?”

Feng Ling lifted her hands and used her sleeves to cover her cheeks; they were aching from the cold. She answered gloomily: “Boss, I’ve only met that Qin Shuke twice. How could I possibly like her? In my eyes, Miss Qin is a cheerful and energetic young girl. If she wishes to be friends, perhaps I can accept it. But when it comes to deeper feelings… that’s impossible.”

Feng Ling then recalled Doctor Wen’s sister. She added: “As for Miss Wen, even if I prefer girls like her, I don’t think I have a chance. Boss, you and Miss Wen are more compatible.”

Li Nanheng was about to bring out another cigarette. He placed his hand in his pocket, and as he heard her words, his movements paused. He turned his distant black eyes onto her: “Her and Me?”

“That’s right. Miss Wen is very attractive. She is also one the best doctor in Los Angeles, yet she always makes time to visit you in the base. Doesn’t that mean that she likes you? Besides, Boss, you’re usually very impatient, yet you seem to be especially patient toward Miss Wen. Your relationship with her seems very good, as well.”

Li Nanheng brought his hand out of his pocket without holding onto a cigarette. He chuckled coldly: “And so, you stood outside the clinic for that long that day. After watching for that long, that’s all you saw?”

Feng Ling immediately shifted her gaze away from him toward the view of the distant glaciers: “I didn’t watch for very long. I only went to take a look. I didn’t wish to disturb your conversation.”

Li Nanheng snorted: “Wen Leqing comes to the base frequently, but that doesn’t have much to do me. I’ve always hated women who cling onto me like gum. Usually, even when I return to the Li family to participate in all sorts of events, I’ll stay far away from the women. To this day, there aren’t any women who dare to enter the base to cling onto me. The XI Base isn’t a place anyone can enter as they please.”

“Then she…”

“The only reason a woman would enter a place like XI Base so frequently is naturally for a man. But it isn’t me. The two of us have merely known each other since young and interacted enough to become familiar. Precisely because she doesn’t have strange thoughts toward me and only considers me a friend, I’m not as wary when it comes to her.”

Feng Ling slowly digested his words and felt that an even thicker layer of fog obstructed her eyes: “Then, who is she doing it for? There are so many men in the base, and most of them are very outstanding, but I’ve never seen her interact much with anyone.”

It was rare to see Feng Ling appear so curious, with a gaze like she really wanted in on the secret. Li Nanheng lifted one corner of her lips. Looking at her interested appearance, he decided to be kind for once and tell her: “For Doctor Wen.”

Feng Ling’s expression was first blank, then confused, and finally startled: “Isn’t Doctor Wen her brother?”

“Yeah.”

“For Doctor Wen…?” For a moment, Feng Ling’s brain struggled to process this.

Li Nanheng did not explain much and only answered: “It’s not my place to explain this. But Wen Leqing has indeed been chasing after Doctor Wen for all these years. Her brother decided to study medicine, so she also studied medicine. To avoid her, Doctor Wen was willing to give up a good career opportunity to hide in XI Base to be our doctor. She is also mindless of his resistance and often comes to the base. Seeing as she is also a doctor and is occasionally useful, the base allowed her special permission to enter. If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn’t be able to enter as they please.”

And so, Wen Leqing was chasing after her brother?

…How does one chase after a sibling?

After successfully chasing him, could they date and get married?

Although she was suspicious about this, this matter was still unrelated to her. Feng Ling did not understand why, but when she heard that Wen Leqing was unrelated to Boss Li, a stifled feeling in her heart instantly dissipated.

She changed the topic: “Boss, if we don’t head in soon, we’ll be buried in the snow.” She turned back to glance at the footsteps she had left on the snow. A fresh layer of snow covered most of it.

Feng Ling wore a thick layer of clothes, and her sleeves were pressed against her cheeks. However, her forehead and cheeks had turned slightly pink from being exposed to the wind. Li Nanheng did not continue the conversation and turned to leave.

Feng Ling followed after him.

They entered the tent to see that Fattie and the rest were sitting together eating the grilled meat. The tent was filled the fragrant scent of the meat and seasonings. By the side, there were two clean plates filled with quite a bit of cooked meat. With one glance, it was clear that those were kept specially for them.
