Even just looking at his profile was enough to captivate her. Even while working, he exuded an innate wildness. This wildness, mixed with his elegant and noble temperament, was utterly perfect! Lin Ling gazed at him dreamily, fantasizing about spending a passionate night with him. If only she could become his woman—how wonderful that would be! A man so perfect and charismatic, even if she were to indulge in a wild night of passion with him, she would die willingly.
Seeing her staring at Nangong Yehen, practically drooling, Huo Luan frowned slightly. His master was not short of women, but he never easily got involved with one. Moreover, he had a certain aversion to women like Lin Ling, who were infatuated with him. Huo Luan shot her a look, signaling her not to stare at his master like that. If his master noticed, she would surely be thrown out of the estate. But Lin Ling paid him no mind. A mere bodyguard—his status was the same as hers. Why should she care about him? This rare opportunity to quietly admire Nangong Yehen’s handsomeness—she wasn’t about to miss it. Time really flew by when she looked at him like this! In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
Having finished his work, Nangong Yehen closed his laptop and handed it to Huo Luan behind him. Looking up, he met Lin Ling’s affectionate gaze. His expression instantly turned icy cold, his sharp eyes fixed on her as he asked coldly, “Who allowed you to come here?” Lin Ling was intimidated by his coldness and menace. But she couldn’t back down. No matter how overwhelming and oppressive his aura was, she wanted to get close to him. The colder he was, the more handsome she found him, and the more he fascinated her. With a hint of coquettish charm, she smiled softly. “I specially made you some snacks.” Nangong Yehen glanced coldly at the snacks, recalling what Chu Lingzhi had said. To heal wounds quickly, one must watch their diet. Foods high in calories, greasy, or with strong flavors should be avoided; stick to light meals. “Don’t come near this place again from now on!” The shooting range was not a place for outsiders to casually enter. Nangong Yehen looked sharply at Lin Ling, sparing her this time since it was her first offense. If there was a next time, he would have her shot on the spot! His identity was special—as the king of two cities, danger could arise at any time, in any setting. He didn’t easily trust strangers, nor would he allow them to approach his restricted areas.
Lin Ling felt unwilling. She had seen Chu Lingzhi come here several times. Why could she come while Lin Ling couldn’t? She was just bringing him snacks, not touching his guns like Chu Lingzhi did. “Master Nangong, I know I was wrong. I won’t dare do it again,” she said, putting on a pitiful look as she gazed at him. “Take it away and disappear from here immediately!” Nangong Yehen didn’t spare her another glance, staring coldly ahead. His coldness and attitude made Lin Ling a little sad. “Master Nangong, I noticed you ate so little at lunch, so I specially made you these snacks. Please don’t refuse.” Sensing Nangong Yehen’s menace and murderous intent, Huo Luan quickly urged Lin Ling, “Please take it away. The master doesn’t like snacks.” “The snacks I make are very delicious.” “Let me have them instead.” Suddenly, Chu Lingzhi’s crisp voice rang out. Hearing her voice, a flicker of light passed through Nangong Yehen’s eyes, but it quickly turned cold again. Recognizing her voice, Lin Ling’s eyes lit up, like a drowning person finally grasping at a lifeline.
