three hundred and eight

g daughter of his, she's incredibly useful, her bright future hinges on her. What if something were to happen to her He wouldn't know what to do! Besides, he never expected Rong Ling to be so attentiv...Lin Zi found it ridiculous. Where did this woman get the confidence to demand she speak with Lin Meng, and expect her to make it happen

Want to introduce her to the director!

Well, if she had that kind of ability, she would have already made it on her own. Why would she even need to rely on others ... ( ..tw good looking novels ) Yes, she used to flatter her back then, but at that time Guangda hadn't fallen from grace yet. As a relative of the Ruan family, she had some weight too. Through her several cousins, she could indeed meet many directors. By following them, she could even snag some small roles!

But, I was only a small role, at most, once. My lines didn't even last five minutes!

This young lady is so haughty! Back in the day, no one would have dared to treat her with such respect. Over the years, she's clawed her way through life, tasting every bit of bitterness that society has to offer. So now, she doesn't offend anyone, even going out of her way to cultivate relationships. Who knows, maybe one day they'll come in handy!

Now you can tell her to go speak with Lin Meng and have the Ruan family forgive their debt!

Isn't it ridiculous, does she think Lin Zi is an idiot!

If their family's relationship with the Ruan family was still good, why would they need her, an outsider, to intervene The Ruan family's insistence could only mean that their side is in trouble! And compared to Fang Meijia, doesn't she know that Lin Meng is more valuable! Is she crazy to make Lin Meng unhappy for Fang Meijia!

Of course not!

She still depends on Lin Meng for her development. She wouldn't be foolish enough to bother her with such trivial matters! Their relationship is just skin deep, she naturally won't use him unless she has to. There have been many requests for her help, and those remaining threads are probably wearing thin from all the strain.

But she was no longer the Lin Zi from before. Back then, she could be arrogant, happy or unhappy as she pleased, and if she disliked someone, she would simply distance herself. Now, though, she had made up her mind not to help Fang Meijia, but she also wouldn't refuse outright.

Don't easily offend people, that's her rule for survival.

"Let me think about this carefully!"

"What are you thinking about!" Fang Meijia exclaimed playfully. "You and Lin Meng are sisters, this is just a piece of cake for me. As for me, I'll definitely benefit from your connection! My cousin's family has risen to prominence again, and all their old connections are coming back. There will be big investors, big directors, and so on. Maybe I can even persuade my cousin to invest in a movie for me. Then, I'll be the lead actress and you the supporting role, of course I won't treat you badly!"

Lin Zi smiled slightly. Such promises, many men had made to her. At that time, in bed, they touched her body, eager to possess her, and said sweet nothings. But once their desires were satisfied, those words, like farts let go, vanished without a trace. Could she still be naive enough to take them seriously

She only believes in what she can hold onto!

"Then I'll give it my best shot!" She still chose to evade the issue.

Fang Meijia was still unsatisfied. "It's not about effort, but about making sure it's understood!"

Lin Zi smiled, looking at her in front of her, as if she were looking at herself in the past. Both of them had a bit of an air of invincibility.

"When are you leaving!" Fang Meijia stepped closer.

"As soon as possible."

"When is 'soon'!"

"Just these few days!"

"Well, how about today" Fang Meijia frowned.

Lin Zi laughed, looking at Fang Meijia, just smiling like that, her beautiful eyes, nothing inside.

Fāng Měijia saw this and felt a little uneasy. She stammered and fiddled with her sagging bag, conceding, "Then tomorrow!"

"Meijia, I have to make money to support my family, so I have to rush to appointments. I don't have that much free time!"

Fang Meijia showed some disdain. "What kind of notice are you rushing to attend With just those small notices, how much money can you possibly make! Come on, don't go. Tell me the amount, and I'll give you extra!"

"You know, for someone like me, rushing to fulfill appointments isn't entirely about the money!"

People gave you a chance, you have to seize it. You promised to go and now you're backing out That's something only big shots can do. She's just a small player, she can't pull that off. If you don't go this time, maybe next time, such an opportunity will never fall on your head again. Besides, even if the announcement pays less, it was earned through her own hard work. At least it's not like her, who relies entirely on connections!

Fang Meijia had a slight understanding, and smiled with some disdain.

"Well, you can't compete with me!"

"Yeah, how could I possibly compare to you!" Lin Zi nonchalantly accepted this sarcasm.

This humble attitude greatly satisfied Fang Meijia's vanity, and also gave her a sense of satisfaction. It was as if all the grievances she had suffered from Lin Meng were now repaid by her elder sister.

"Then hurry up!" She waved her hand generously, picked up her bag and stood up. "I'm waiting for your good news!"

"Okay."

She merely replied with a single word.

Fang Mei Jia strutted out like a proud peacock, encountering Lin Zi's little assistant outside the door. She gave another condescending smile and swaggered away.

Lin Zi smiled and took up her makeup palette, continuing to touch up her makeup!

The rather unobtrusive assistant carefully closed the door, and the cat slipped in.

"That Lin Meng is your sister, and she's so popular right now! How come you never mentioned her before" The assistant's words carried a hint of displeasure.

Lin Zi's hand holding the pen paused for a moment. She knew that her assistant had probably eavesdropped just now. This made her frown, but she quickly smoothed it out again.This was the assistant assigned to her by the company; she had no choice but to accept him, and she couldn't afford to offend him easily! After all, assistants have their own way of survival. A good assistant can make an actor popular, and of course, they can also dim the light of an actor who should have shone brightly. They are responsible for an actor's schedule, reporting to the upper management, and pulling sponsorships, roles, endorsements, and so on. In short, the excellence and effort of an assistant can directly influence the future prospects of the actor. Naturally, conversely, the actor can also determine the fate of the assistant. Only when the actor becomes famous and receives attention will the assistant be noticed by the higher-ups!

Lin Zi's assistant is also just an ordinary assistant, not some gold medal assistant!

"Well, now we know!" Lin Zi chuckled teasingly.

The assistant didn't feel there was anything wrong with eavesdropping. She simply sat beside Lin Zi and naturally took the pastel and brush from her hands, helping her touch up her makeup while chattering away incessantly.

"Your little sister is the media darling now, any reports about her sell like hotcakes. You wouldn't believe it, everyone in our circle is trying to get close to her. Take that new star An Ke for example, you've seen her right She claims she looks like Lin Meng, and flaunts it all the time. And just like that, the media gave her a platform. If you ask me, compared to you, An Ke doesn't even come close! I told you both looked alike, but turns out, you're her older sister! ... You sneaky little thing, hiding this from me for so long This is fantastic news! Why would you keep it a secret"

Lin Zi lowered her eyes, her voice faint. "It's nothing!"

“Nothing This is a big deal! You’re starting to get some recognition now. If you can leverage your sister’s popularity and get some exposure in newspapers, TV, and online, that would be incredible. You’ll become famous, and just being Lin Meng’s sister will attract tons of directors, screenwriters, and investors!”

With Lin Meng's figure and looks, she'd be a waste not to act in movies. She learned from her own sources that many directors, screenwriters, and investors were all interested in this young beauty! A woman who has given birth possesses both elegance and allure; what's even rarer is that she also hasn't lost her youthful innocence—she's precisely the kind of woman men desire most!

"Don't be stupid, you have to tell the company about this right away!"

Lin Zi was stunned.

She knew what the assistant had said. If she could ride this wave of publicity to fame, there was no doubt about it. But others didn't know, while she did. She knew about Lin Meng's past. She was afraid that after this period of media attention, people would dig up Lin Meng's past in J City and expose her. Then the media would definitely turn against her, and as her sister, she wouldn't be spared either! After all these years, she had finally achieved some success, and those embarrassing things from her past were rarely mentioned. She didn't want to risk everything for a moment of fame, only to end up in the spotlight again and have her reputation ruined, making things worse than they are now.

"Are you even listening to me Why aren't you saying anything" The assistant gently nudged Lin Zi.

Lin Zi raised her eyes, but she still decided not to take the risk. "I'm listening, but that's it. Just drop it, don't tell the company!"

"Why!" The assistant's voice rose in pitch, looking utterly perplexed.

"Oh, just forget it. Don't tell anyone about this, okay!"

Lin Ziyang raised her head and closed her eyes.

The assistant looked at the smooth chin, shaking her powder puff somewhat heavily in her hand, a touch of anger. But she controlled her temper well, shook the powder off, and then began to lightly apply it to the woman's chin!

But this isn't over yet. Lin Zi doesn't want to get involved, but Zhu Li is interested! She doesn't want to be a poor assistant forever. She also wants to be a gold medal assistant, driving a car, living in a 100-square-meter house, and then having two assistant girls following her! So she told the company about it!

Lin Zi's face was expressionless as she walked out of her boss's office. Her assistant hurried over, looking somewhat ashamed.

"Zi Zi, I know you might be a little unhappy inside, but I did this for your own good!"

Lin Zi glanced at her indifferently, then turned and walked away on her own. The assistant followed with a smile, bustling along, sometimes coaxing her softly. Which assistant hasn't had a conflict with an actor After a period of friction, it gets better. Everyone has gone through this, the assistant also firmly believes so.

In fact, Lin Zi was a bit upset, but not too upset. She probably expected something like this to happen. She knew exactly what her assistant was like. After all these years working together, how could she not be aware of her ambition The moment her assistant found out about her relationship with Lin Meng, she panicked. But as time passed, a sense of relief washed over her.

This was a huge opportunity, but she could only watch it slip away right in front of her. She must have coveted it, but she was too hesitant and afraid to make a move. This actually required an external force to push her forward, and the assistant became that force. Later, the assistant told the company about this, and the company decided to seize this opportunity and give her full support. In her heart, she already considered this fate.

Since things have come to this, she can only go with the flow!

But she needs to put on some airs, lest she be truly looked down upon. Just now when facing her boss, she showed some resistance, just letting the boss know that she wasn't so easily used. The company says it wants to promote her, but in fact it is to boost its own reputation and increase the screen rate of other star artists under its wing. This kind of operation is actually more beneficial to the company!

She needs to make sure the company remembers this time, so they'll treat her better in the future and give her more opportunities.

As for still putting on airs with the assistant, that's a fitting punishment too. If she just laughs it off, wouldn't that mean letting this assistant walk all over her in the future! She needs to be taught a lesson so that she'll be more mindful of her in the future!

As for Lin Meng, she's not afraid that Lin Meng will get angry. The company has a dedicated hype team who will definitely "accidentally" expose her. She just needs to act innocent, and then Lin Meng will be helpless!

Now, she's afraid of only one thing: that incident from a few years ago in J city will be exposed!

I hope it doesn't explode!

She muttered to herself, her brow furrowed, her face growing increasingly somber.

The assistant, seeing her, became even more respectful and followed closely behind her, serving her with utmost care.

Meanwhile, Lin Meng, who had no idea that he was being watched by multiple parties, happily video chatted with Ruan Cangsheng.

Today's events left her feeling unusually satisfied. It wasn't just that Ruan Chengyi had shown kindness towards her, even Ruan Chengzhi had stood by her side. This was evident from how he had escorted Liu Haomin out of the house earlier. In the end, the three brothers' cold indifference and condemnation towards Liu Haomin also showed her that the three brothers had indeed matured. They were no longer easily swayed by familial emotions and could make their own decisions with more firmness.

Li Yuan pulled her aside and whispered, "Actually, Ruan Chengyi and the other two really like you. Sometimes they seem cold to you, but it's because they have childish attitudes and are too shy to show their affection."

Liyuan grew up with them and has always been part of their group of three. She believes this to be true.

Finally, she felt like she was truly accepted by these three people. Finally, Guangda had also woken up. An idea popped into her mind. She thought that after a while, when the second phase of "Community Pass" was successfully implemented, she would tell everything and leave the Ruan family with a light heart.

This evening, I had a phone call with my grandfather. We talked about more than just the three brothers; there was also something else on my mind. At first, my grandfather listened to how his three sons were doing. His face lit up with satisfaction, his eyes gleaming slightly, showing his happiness and contentment. Lin Meng accompanied her grandfather in laughter for a while, then she brought up her own matters.

Ruan Cangsheng remained expressionless, but his tone was tinged with sigh. "Meng Meng, you've worked hard. Bringing up these three boys like this isn't easy!"

Lin Meng smiled silently.

Ruan Cangsheng looked at the face that was still so pure and innocent, his expression softened even more, his eyes filled with love. "This matter, you handle it! I trust you. Whenever you think is appropriate, just go ahead. Or, if you want to leave, feel free to leave. As for those things from my past life, I've already let go and don't care much about them anymore!"

Why bother Why be so insistent that your son understand your struggles, why he should know the desperation that drove you to abandon your three children, and why you had to leave with a lover who didn't have much time left...

Those things, let them pass. Now, seeing his sons all doing well, each seeming able to weather that sky, that's enough. He hopes for nothing more from those past events!

And he truly treated Lin Meng like his own daughter. His love with his childhood sweetheart, if their child had lived, would have probably been just like Lin Meng. He already considered her his daughter who never got to meet the world! It's just that at the beginning, he didn't see through everything, so he still bound her with marriage, so that he could more legitimately control his son. Because his brothers wouldn't listen to their sister, and within the company, no one would listen to a sister’s guidance when three brothers were present. But Lin Meng was his wife, the stepmother of those three little ones, which was different. That was more authoritative and compelling.

But over those four years, as he spent more time with Lin Meng and her child grew in her womb, the dryness in his heart gradually faded, replaced by a newfound fullness. Youyou, who inherited their Ruan family's "Cheng" naming convention, was both like his grandson and his son. He participated in every stage of the child’s development, from birth to taking his first steps and beginning to think. This was something he had never truly experienced during his busy business years. Looking at that little one, his heart overflowed with love.

So, he began to regret his impulsive and selfish decision to bind her with a marriage contract, adding the burden of a married status to her; so, he urged Lin Meng to return home; so, he rushed to sign a divorce agreement with Lin Meng, repeatedly telling her not to force herself, that if she met a man who captured her heart, she could simply ignore his three sons; so, he authorized her as the company's Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director, instead of letting her use the more authoritative title of Chairman's Wife to intimidate others, because she was no longer that person, and he had already completed the divorce paperwork. He knew this woman, diligent and dedicated, striving for perfection, would surely compromise herself from beginning to end. She would certainly foolishly hold onto that pre-signed divorce agreement, allowing it to take effect only until she left the Ruan family.

Could he make her so wronged!

He is sick, so he can't go out often. But this cannot be an excuse for him to wrong her, or a reason for him to ignore her. He may not be able to do it himself, but he has subordinates and friends, naturally he can get everything done quietly and perfectly!

That Rong Ling, repeatedly urged him to divorce as soon as possible, seizing every opportunity to coerce him. Isn't she just anxious in her heart! Young people can't stand the longing, it's inevitable. It's not that he intentionally strung Rong Ling along, but everything depends on Lin Meng. He could intervene in some things, but he absolutely wouldn't interfere in the slightest with the two people's marriage.

Marriage should be natural, effortless, and something both parties genuinely desire. Any external pressure or coercion is shameful and repulsive!

He's already been through a marriage that was a setup, he won't meddle in this!

"You don't have to worry too much about those three kids' feelings. They are adults and should have their own sense of right and wrong. Those old things, whether you tell them or not, don't matter anymore. Just leave with confidence!"

"Well, I understand!" Lin Meng nodded, deeply grateful to him. He was so forgiving now, but she wouldn't betray his kindness. She would definitely do what needed to be done. She wouldn't stand by and ignore those three brothers as they left this old man to his misery and loneliness in illness, allowing him to pass away alone. She wanted him to have children around him in his remaining time, perhaps even a grandson who called him "Grandpa" sweetly! Judging by how Ruan Chengyi and Li Yuan got along, this goal seemed achievable!

The two of them chatted for a while longer. On his end, Ruan Cangsheng remembered that it should be late at night in China, so he urged Lin Meng to go to sleep quickly. Lin Meng mumbled and repeated the words about taking good care of himself again before hanging up the video call.

Turning back, she carried the young boy back from Miaoqing. Since the specimen room on the third floor had been cleaned out, the room became vacant. Ruan Chengyang thoughtfully moved in, giving his room to Liyuan. Liyuan could have stayed with Ruan Chuyi, but after all, they were a man and a woman living alone, and both came from prestigious families. Such blatant cohabitation was not appropriate! Thus, Liyuan had a room to herself, and the vacant room on the attic floor was given to Miaoqing.

As for Lin Meng's good friend, the Ruan family didn't know much about her. However, Miao Qing had a nice personality, was knowledgeable, seemed able to chat about anything, and looked very capable, so the Ruan family didn't reject her either, just tacitly accepted her presence!

Because Lin Meng's conversation with Ruan Cangsheng tonight was not suitable for the little guy to hear, so after the little guy finished talking with Ruan Cangsheng, she sent him to Miao Qing's side and chatted with Ruan Cangsheng herself.

When she went to hug the little boy, he was already fast asleep. There was a storybook on the bedside table, seemingly read to him by Miao Qing. Lin Meng smiled at Miao Qing and gently carried the little boy back to her room. She tucked him in, dimmed the lights, and then, holding her pajamas, went to wash up.

The showerhead was open, the sound of water gushing, drowning out some subtle noises. The bathroom door creaked open silently, and a naked man with only a bath towel around his waist darted into the bathroom. She had just sensed a slight shadow, her heart skipped a beat, and before she could react, soft waist was encircled by strong arms.

Her eyes widened, her heart pounding in her chest with fright. Just as she was about to scream, she saw that familiar face, one so deeply etched in her memory!

The man twitched his nose, a smirk playing on his lips as he sniffed her face and neck, savoring the intoxicating scent of her femininity. She was furious, utterly speechless from the scare she'd just received. His expression and actions now were infuriatingly provocative!

"You scared the living daylights out of me!"

With a low growl, she reached out and twisted his flesh cruelly.

The man didn't feel a thing, he leaned in and gently kissed the smooth skin on her neck. His warm breath tickled her skin, making it itch. She twisted her body and pushed him away. Then she realized that this man had somehow taken off all his clothes sometime during this, he was only wearing a white bathrobe. He probably wasn't wearing anything underneath.

She licked her lips a little nervously, thinking to herself that this man was truly arrogant. He treated other people's homes as his own, unafraid of being discovered as he undressed so brazenly. What was even worse was that he seemed familiar with all the implements in the place, not only finding the bath towel tucked away in the cabinet, but also casually barging in here.

She locked the door!

"Thief, villain!"

She muttered angrily.

He chuckled softly, not a hint of anger in his voice. His scorching lips were only interested in kissing her skin, sweet as honey. Soon, she felt a sharp pain on her neck – he'd bitten her. Tomorrow morning, there would certainly be a strawberry mark there!

"Let me go!"

Her rejection would only serve as a slight aphrodisiac. He drew closer to her, his large hand gripping her slender waist, pulling her toward his abdomen. His skin was firm and hard, hers soft and yielding. The moment they touched, she tingled with a jolt, her whole body flushing like shrimp just boiled alive.

"Let's wash together!" he hummed lazily, his large hand caressing her skin like silk.

"Who wants to wash with you!" She pushed him, grinding her teeth hard, revealing pearly white teeth like a scallop shell, and glared at him menacingly. "I warn you, don't mess around!"

But he only noticed her slightly pouted, rosy red lips, moist and glistening like ice. He really wanted to take a bite.

He swallowed her lips in one gulp, sucking hard like they were jelly. She gasped as his kiss was a little painful, drawing on her lips.

This man, where did he get his superhuman strength!

She gave him a playful glance, which fell into his eyes. Yet, it was a flirtatious gaze, with flowing eyes like water, her eyebrows hinting at provocation.

His eyes darkened, and his already hot body grew even hotter. The younger brother below him excitedly raised his head in an instant, standing tall and proud.

"Good boy..."

He pulled her upper body closer. She was facing him like this, with no reservations whatsoever. She was already blushing and trembling, and when he suddenly pulled her in like that, she lost all control and fell into his arms. Her soft chest pressed against his chest as if offering herself up. The softness of the touch sent shivers down his spine. He gasped and uncontrollably pressed his hand onto her pert buttocks, pushing her hard against his lower abdomen.

She was shocked. Her smooth, tender belly naturally felt that something was wrong with him!

My goodness!

She was inwardly distressed, her face flushed. Her heart pounded like a drum, almost drowning out the gurgling of the stream.

What to do!

She panicked, her elbows weakly resting against his chest, pushing him away listlessly.

He scooped up one of her legs in his hand. She was so startled that she didn't dare to look at his wheat-colored chest anymore. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes flickering back and forth, looking at him with a mix of fear and shame. He let out a soft sigh, lowered his head, and abruptly covered her lips with his own before forcefully pushing in.

"Mmm—" she hummed, her eyes squeezing shut in pain. A single tear welled up.

He was itching to charge into battle, but she looked at him with a pitiful expression, her slightly narrowed eyes brimming with distress. He couldn't bring himself to push forward, so he could only restrain himself and press her against the wall. Thankfully, the hot water from the showerhead hadn't stopped flowing, already raising the room temperature. The air was thick with steam, making the ceramic tiles on the wall seem less cold.

But Lin Meng still uncomfortably straightened her waist because the overly rigid walls made her feel a little uncomfortable.

With his waist straight, the feeling was overwhelming, almost driving him mad!

He released her somewhat awkwardly, gasping for breath heavily before managing to restrain himself from taking things further. She felt a strange sensation in his body and was too embarrassed to move again.

He leaned down and kissed her, this time with a possessive fierceness that left her unable to close her mouth. She felt like a child, saliva dribbling down her chin. His soft tongue sucked hers relentlessly, leaving her no room to resist. Soon, she felt pain in her tongue, her lips, and even her jaw which he forced open. She protested with two whimpers and swatted his back with her small hand. As if he didn't feel it, he continued kissing her with reckless abandon.

She reached out to pinch him, but he still felt terrifyingly impervious to pain. She was helpless, her hips writhing wildly, knowing that this man couldn't stand such stimulation the most. But she had never expected that this wouldn't quell his ferocity, instead making him even more savage. His kiss became more forceful, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

She wouldn't believe it, and continued to wiggle her hips. At the same time, she tried to contract her abdomen a few times.

The man suddenly let go of her, his whole body stiffening, a groan of pain escaping his lips. A pair of jet-black eyes, as deep and dark as the night itself, glared at her with intensity.

Her mouth was both sour and numb, unable to speak, she could only warn him with a glare.

What she said, the way her eyes widened, to him it was all passion and longing!

"Little vixen, are you not afraid of pain You're so determined to tempt me!"

He muttered angrily, pushing her hard.

She almost screamed, hurriedly reaching out with her hand and suddenly covering her own mouth.

He punished her with another shove!

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears, highlighting her red and swollen eye sockets, both pitifully and alluringly. Her flushed cheeks swayed, giving off an image of silent pleading. Yet, her legs lacked strength, collapsing softly as she fell. He wickedly offered no support, letting her descend, swallowing him whole.

She lunged at him with the desperation of someone thrashing in water, trying desperately to climb upwards. Her childish struggle was so adorable that it made him chuckle. She managed to wrap her arms around his neck and bit his shoulder spitefully, clinging to him as she pressed her lips against him.

A man consumed by desire couldn't bear such provocation. After a gruff groan, he hesitated no longer, nor did he allow himself to be wronged any further, working with all his might...

Mmm-hmm sounds, undulating gently, rising and falling in the steamy haze, intertwined and ambiguous like threads...

She couldn't control herself, panting softly, begging him to slow down. But this man preferred going all out, it was more satisfying that way. Letting him slow down was fine, but he had to be satisfied at least once first. He also knew this place wasn't safe. Even with the sound of running water, accidents could happen easily, leaking things that shouldn't go outside. He picked up a towel he'd discarded and pulled a corner over, stuffing it into her mouth. She opened her mouth and let out a small "oof," biting down.

As soon as he heard such a cute cry, his heart pounded with passion; seeing her tearful little face nearly drove him insane. This woman, at moments like this, rarely failed to push him to the brink. It seemed no matter what he did for her, it was never enough!

It's even hotter in the bathroom!

On the other side of the bathroom, the alert Miao Qing twitched her ears and suddenly opened her eyes, two sharp lights flashing in them. She quickly jumped off the bed and quietly approached the wall, pressing her ear against it.

But then she became embarrassed. As for the commotion, needless to say, it was their elusive boss at work again! However, she still muttered in her heart, feeling that the boss didn't even notify her beforehand when he came, making her get up in the middle of the night to eavesdrop on them from the corner of the wall. It was truly a bit too much!

That's such a nuisance!

But this was clearly not over. Rong Ling, stimulated by Lin Meng's "growl" that sounded like a little beast, even though he had already achieved his desires. But when he woke up before the sky turned the color of fish bellies, recalling everything from last night, he felt a bit itchy in his heart again. So, Miao Qing, who was lying in bed, had to roll her eyes and watch her boss unceremoniously stuff a lump of meat into her hand, throw it at her with a "Watch him," and then stroll away.

She looked at the gently closed door, then at the soundly sleeping little one, and couldn't help but mutter to herself: "With a dad like him, I wonder if your mommy is happy or just exhausted!"

But the boss is very hardworking, working from dawn till dusk!

Miao Qing twitched the corner of her mouth at the analogy she had just come up with, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

---Digression---

Cute Starry MM, here's wishing you a happy birthday! ^_^

I'm under a lot of pressure, but I finally wrote the interaction between Rong and Meng. (*^__^*) Hee hee... Pretty awesome, right!ement. After getting the signed agreement, he felt relieved and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, thinking she was a foolish old woman who believed everything he said, even without consulting her ow...
