Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Arriving at the topic of being too thin, Nanheng took a glance at the time. It was already past 11:00 p.m.

He paused in his footsteps toward the couch and glanced at Feng Ling, who appeared helpless about her own weight and muscles. “If you can’t sleep, I’ll accompany you to go out and grow some meat?”

Feng Ling was startled. “How do you grow?”

“Before I came, I saw that there’s a street selling all sorts of snacks nearby. There’s a large variety of American and Chinese food. Do you want to go give it a taste?”

Hearing this, Feng Ling stood and reached for her to put on her coat. Since it was summer right now, it wasn’t that cold at night. She then put on the flip flops Xiao Xu had bought for her. She picked up her phone and followed the man out.

XI Base was situated on the outskirts of Los Angeles. although the environment was good, it was located far away from the city. It was rare for them to have the opportunity to stroll along these sort of little streets.

Although Feng Ling wasn’t particularly interested, since she couldn’t sleep, heading out for a walk was much preferable to laying on the hospital bed.

The doctor had also said that she only needed to perform inhalation therapy and receive treatment everyday. There was no need for an operation or an injection. She only needed to remain in her room when it was time for the doctor to perform her check-ups. At other times, she was free to head out as she pleased. Furthermore, she wasn’t that fragile. Even with this small pain, she could head out for a mission anytime, much less heading out for a simple supper.

Li Nanheng had already stepped out of the door. He waited for her outside.

Feng Ling quickly approached; her expression did not contain the slightest hint of exhaustion: “Boss, I’ll just put on a coat and head out like this, is that okay? I won’t change out the hospital clothes underneath. It’s too troublesome.”

He scanned her loose clothes and made a calm sound: “En.”

The two headed out. In order to avoid the nurses on night shift, Feng Ling intentionally hid near the restroom. When the nurses left for the office to retrieve their things, she quickly entered the elevator.

Inside the elevator, Li Nanheng glanced at Feng Ling: “What do you want to eat?”

Hearing this, Feng Ling unexpectedly smiled. She leaned a little closer to him. She was relaxed and delighted as she said: “Didn’t you say that there are local specialties as well as Chinese food? I’ve never had any of those before. I’ll decide after taking a look.”

Who would have thought that, after living for so many years, she had never had those foods before. It was a rare opportunity for her to experience it. She was likely concealing some excitement as well. It was just that Feng Ling wasn’t good at showing her emotions. Thus, only her eyes seemed to be sparkling.

Nanheng watched her for a moment without speaking. He did not realize it, but his lips curved up slightly.

When the escalator arrived on the first floor, the man walked ahead while Feng Ling rushed to keep up. The excitement must have gotten to her head; she did not pay much attention to her feet as she stepped out and she accidentally dug her feet into the gap between the marble tiled floor. The tip of her slipper was caught in the gap and as she tugged it free, it suddenly flew upwards. She fell forward and knocked into Li Nanheng with a loud noise. Her nose slammed heavily against the man’s firm back.

Nanheng was completely caught off guard and was almost knocked down the marble staircase ahead of them. Thankfully, he gripped the handrails in time and stabilized himself.

Feng Ling raised her head with some trepidation. She immediately saw Li Nanheng’s expressionless face.

The man narrowed his eyes. “You’re so careless and rash. If I wasn’t in front of you, were you planning on falling down the stairs?”

Feng Ling felt as though the man’s warmth was still on the tip of her nose. Her heartbeat was also strangely fast. When she heard his words, she coughed and bent down to pick up her slippers. “I didn’t do it intentionally.”

As she put on her slippers, she glanced at the large marble staircase ahead.

This was Los Angeles’s largest hospital and it was extremely luxurious. On the first storey, half the space had been made into a spacious lounge. The marble staircase leading down to it had around four to five steps.

If Li Nanheng hadn’t stood firm earlier, if they had directly rolled down from the stairs…

Feng Ling suddenly couldn’t resist a laugh.

She didn’t know that Boss Li’s eyes were on her, nor did she notice that when she bent down, her loose patient clothes clearly revealed her collarbone.

The young girl’s collar was loose and open. She had squatted down to put on her slipper, revealing her collarbone for the man to take in.

Li Nanheng’s gaze suddenly turned heavy.

His Adam’s apple shifted and his heartbeat jumped slightly.

Fuck.

This little brat, even his collarbone was so beautiful. He was clearly supposed to be a girl. Was he given the wrong gender when he was born? Why did he have to be a boy?

The street that Li Nanheng had brought up was right behind the hospital’s parking lot. It was an extremely long street with various, unique stores lining up both sides of the street. They sold just about everything. As it was late night, there were various stalls set up at every available space. Over the years, this place had developed into a standard food street, and appeared especially like their flourishing, local night markets.

After stepping out of the hospital main gate, they went around the parking lot and passed through the small alley behind. Within ten minutes, they arrived at their destination.

For the entire duration, Li Nanheng walked ahead of her. The man’s expression was mild and unhurried, and graceful and arrogant. The moment they arrived at the street, his every breath and every step signalled to the crowd to stay away from him.

Feng Ling walked along the crowded street by this man’s side. She felt as though everything she had experienced since young, as well as her dull lifestyle that only consisted of eating and living had finally gained a layer of dust. It was as though, this was the life a person should experience and enjoy while alive.

Business and enjoyment; eating and drinking happily amidst this messy world. There was so much more to life than having enough food and warmth.

Every person here appeared especially colourful.

Feng Ling had been brought up by the wolf pack. Even after she had grown up, she never developed much thought about this. Now, as she stood amidst the crowd to watch the colourful lights and people, for the first time in her life, she suddenly thought about her own parents.

Who exactly were they? What sort of people were they? Why did she become separated from her parents? Was she an abandoned baby? Or was there more to it?

In this brilliant, colourful world, why was she the only one who didn’t know where her roots belonged to?

In order to distract herself from the sudden, depressing thoughts, she spoke up: “This place is really crowded. Boss, what do you feel like eating?”

“Anything.”

“…” What was she supposed to say to this?

“K said that the Chinese barbeque is really good. Isn’t that a barbecue store? Let’s go have barbecue?”

“Anything.”

“Oh…”
