Chapter 1128: The Story of Ling and Heng (391)

Feng Ling was indeed hungry. She sat down and dug in.

After several bites, she noticed Li Nanheng passing her by. He first went into the bedroom to change his clothes. Afterward, he came out of the room and walked past her again. Although he did not say anything, he seemed to be moving intentionally.

She subconsciously lifted her eyes and met his gaze.

He was waiting for her to speak up; he knew she definitely wouldn't like those random little trinkets. It was this bowl of common noodles that would move her heart.

But she sure was good. She dug in immediately without a word of thanks. She didn't even smile at him.

It was fine. He wasn't the sort to look for credit. Besides, it wasn't like her to make a big fuss about this; he wouldn't enjoy receiving such a reaction either.

But she didn't even say a single word before sitting down to eat. This was too much like Feng Ling...

Right now, the main point was, what was he supposed to say to recapture her attention?

For example: "I remembered that you liked these noodles and especially drove through the traffic to visit that food court for you. Aren't you touched?"

Aren't you disgusted?

For example: "I bought a scarf and some hand cream for you. If there's anything else you need, remember to mention it. I don't know what kind of things women like, but if there's anything you want, I'll get it all for you."

How shallow can you be?

For example: "Little Feng Ling, this old man likes you so much. Can't you give him some response? If you jump up in happiness to hug this old man, he'll even give his life up for you..."

Are you retarded?

The more he thought about it, the more he found it ridiculous. A big man like him was trapped in a dilemma.

The edge of Li Nanheng's lips trembled. He decided not to continue passing by the dining table and headed for the kitchen to make some coffee.

Feng Ling watched the man's back view as she ate.

She did not understand what was wrong with him.

Could it be that he was hungry?

That wasn't right. If he was hungry, he wouldn't have bought a single portion home. Furthermore, he only bought a single, small portion. That likely wasn't it.

Then, what was going on earlier when he watched her and her noodles with his burning gaze?

Hearing the noise of the coffee machine from the kitchen, Feng Ling was stumped for a moment. She then lowered her head to continue eating.

Right now, she had no idea what else she was supposed to do but eat.

After slowly finishing her food, she noticed that the coffee machine had gone silent.

Feng Ling hesitated for a moment before standing up to keep the cutleries. She brought them to the kitchen and saw that the man was standing before the coffee machine. He seemed to be preoccupied with his thoughts. She cleared her throat. "Boss, move aside for a bit. Let me wash the bowl."

Li Nanheng turned to glance at her. He originally wanted to tell her to just leave it there. However, when he saw her averted gaze, his originally stifled emotions were immediately eased.

Was she feeling... shy?

Feng Ling did not look him in the eye. She watched as the man shifted to the side and directly moved to place the dishes in the sink. She paid no mind to the dishwasher by the side and stood stiffly to wash the bowl.
