Yu Xu there, talking and handling official business. This way, time just slipped away until now. Actually, she was quite hungry!It was as if fate itself wasn't on her side. Just as she shook her head..."Well...," a sleepy voice crackled through the phone, as if he had been woken up from a dream. She only knew that he was abroad, but not which country he was in. Though she knew waking him while he was asleep was wrong, this time her grievance completely overwhelmed her.
"When are you coming back!"
"What's wrong!" His voice was hoarse, definitely the tone of someone woken up from sleep.
She sniffed and suddenly burst into tears, then cried.
"I miss you, come back soon, sniffle..."
She finally couldn't hold it in and burst into tears.
Over there, Rong Ling was completely sober.
"What's wrong What happened!" He suddenly sat up and asked sharply.
Lin Meng sobbed and recounted the events, asking him, "Where are you now Come back... I... miss you!"
Saying that, the child wiped away their tears childishly.
Róng Líng furrowed her brow and thought for a moment. "It'll be a few more days!"
She was suddenly disappointed.
But he still had something to say, because there was no way he could just stand by and watch her being bullied like this. "Before I get back, stay home and don't go out. Don't worry about what people are saying outside. I will arrange for Miao Qing to have people around you!"
But I want you back!
Rong Ling sighed and a hint of gentleness appeared in her eyebrows. "Be good, I still have things to do and can't leave. Just wait for me to go back, after that, I won't leave you again!"
Her heart warmed slightly, she pursed her lips, and asked with a hint of jealousy, "Is it very important"
It was important, so I didn't care about her and put her at the back.
He also sensed something, and smiled faintly. "Well, it's a very important matter!"
She put down her hand, wiping away her tears, and lowered her eyes with a sigh. It's fine, she couldn't be so childishly clingy to him. Men always have some things that women can't interfere with, right In fact, even if he came back, what good would it do She... she hadn't left the Ruan family anyway. What could he possibly do by standing up for himself It wouldn't solve anything unless she figured things out on her own! This was a dead end!
Even so, she still hoped that when she felt pressure, this man would stand by her side and help her carry it!
"
‘You…'
She thought for a moment, then continued. ‘Don’t overwork yourself!’
"
She chuckled softly and then her voice dropped to a low murmur. “Don’t overthink it, it’s nothing major. I’ll be back!”
"Well. That's all we can do! But...."
"Rong Ling!"
"Huh!"
"Youyou... Youyou..." She suddenly felt a little timid and didn't dare to ask him.
The man cut her off directly and asked, "When did you leave the Ruan family!"
She didn't say a word!
"You should know what to do right now!" His tone suddenly became stern.
"I..." She thought for a moment, then sighed again. "I know!"
The man, seeing her attitude, had to press her again. "Mengmeng, sometimes you have to think more about Yuyu. I don't know what the Ruan family has left for you, but now, you have to put Yuyu first!"
So, get a divorce, do it quickly! Ideally, the moment he goes back, she'll be free!
Lin Meng felt the pressure, bit her lip after, and compromised. "Let me think about it properly!"
The man fell silent, seeming displeased with her reply.
She didn't know how to face it, her heart was in a mess. She could only urge him to go to sleep quickly and then hung up the phone hastily. Holding the phone he had given her, she leaned against the bed, frowned, and closed her eyes in thought.
When she opened her eyes again, she already had an idea in mind.
The atmosphere at the Ruan family dinner table that night was a bit oppressive. The two little kids only focused on holding their rice bowls, their eyes darting around from time to time, observing the few people at the table, then munching away at their food. Lin Mengqiang endured the thoughts surging in his heart like a galloping thousand horses, carefully placing dishes into the two children's bowls one by one. After the two little ones finished eating, he ushered them upstairs again.
As she went downstairs, she saw the three brothers who had also put down their bowls and chopsticks. She sighed inwardly, but a slight smile played on her lips.
"Chengyi, Chenghui, Chengyang, let's talk!"
Ruan Chengyang was the first to stand up, impatiently flicking his face. "There's nothing to discuss!"
Then, with a gloomy face, he rushed upstairs.
Ruan Chenghui also stood up quickly. "Go wash and sleep, everyone is tired!"
Saying that, he also went upstairs.
"Carry on the legacy! Shine brightly!" Lin Meng exclaimed.
But the two people seemed to not hear her at all, walking up the stairs by themselves in a hurry, clearly avoiding her.
She couldn't guess what the two people were really thinking, only that she felt hurt and uneasy inside. Was it, things developing in the worst direction Was it, that when she was about to leave, she had somehow angered them again
"Be strong!" She could only turn her head and look at the last remaining stepson!
Ruan Chengyi shook his head, his thin lips slightly parted, but he also seemed a little cold.
"Don't say anything!"
Then, he pulled Li Yuan upstairs. Li Yuan was being pulled along while turning her head to look at Lin Meng, her expression on her face a bit complicated.
These three brothers didn't give Lin Meng a chance to speak at all!
Lin Meng looked at the empty hall, blinked lightly, and let out a long sigh. But then she smiled!
Although she smiled faintly, she was indeed smiling!
It's okay, there are no insurmountable obstacles, she will overcome everything!
Smiling, that's how she told herself!
The next morning, the three brothers didn't even eat breakfast. They dashed off without a trace, as if deliberately avoiding her. Lin Meng shook her head and smiled again, calmly eating breakfast with the two little ones.
Some things probably need a little time to buffer!
Xiaoyou was put under house arrest by Lin Meng. "House arrest" meant that besides attending Mr. Yan's martial arts classes, Xiaoyou wasn't allowed to go out at any other time. As for Xiaohaoh, Lin Meng didn't want to delay the child's education, so she still had Ah Yi take him to kindergarten. Although, in truth, Xiaohaoh would rather stay home and play with Lin Meng and Xiaoyou.
Lin Meng wasn't planning on going out either. Just like Rong Ling had suggested, she was going to stay home and wait for him to return. This gave her the perfect opportunity to finish knitting the sweater she intended to give Rong Ling. It was mindless work, her fingers flew across the needles, in and out, yet her mind was busy with other thoughts!
The little boy "shuffled-shuffled-shuffled" up from downstairs, plopped down on the floor, nestled at her side, and stared up at her with his big, bright eyes, eagerly waiting for something.
Lin Meng gave him a gentle smile and softly asked, "Tired of playing"
The little boy shook his head and continued to look at her.
Lin Meng didn't speak again, burying her head in knitting a sweater. She would occasionally look up at the little boy.
The little boy suddenly stood up, walked over to Lin Meng's side, and opened his arms, acting coquettishly. "Mommy, hug!"
"How is that possible!" Lin Meng raised her eyes with a smile.
"Give me a hug!" The little one wriggled, looking at her longingly.
Lin Meng put down the sweater in her hands and, as the little one wished, hugged him and made him sit on her lap.
"What's wrong, my little darling" she kissed his forehead.
The little boy blinked and called out softly, "Mommy—"
"Huh"
"Mommy---"
She chuckled. "What"
The little boy puckered his lips, grabbed a strand of her long hair with his tiny hand, and played with it. Then he suddenly said, "Mommy, several uncles today said they were my father!"
Lin Meng's face changed instantly, her beautiful body subtly tensed. She had vaguely heard some commotion downstairs before, could it be...
Xiaoyou let out a hum, possessively hugging her neck. Her youthful face revealed a coldness unbecoming of her age.
"Hmph, I'm not that stupid! I already have a daddy, so I don't want them. Mommy is mine alone, I don't want to share her with anyone! Hmph, so I chased them all away!"
"Hehehe..." Lin Meng giggled softly, her body softening as she hugged him tightly.
The little guy said he scared the people away, probably with Ah Yi's help. Not only did Rong Ling have people guarding around here, but even Ruan Chenghui left her a note saying he would bring some people over to prevent any troublemakers from coming.
She didn't want to face those people, so she just hid upstairs. That must have been the little one playing in the room, hearing the commotion outside and then running out to see it.
The little guy said he scared the people away, hehe, what a cute little guy!
"Yoyo, are you feeling unwell"
The little boy had a cold face, forcing himself to hold on, shaking his head!
Lin Meng kissed the little guy again, "It's okay, in a few days, your godfather will be back, that's all!"
The little one rubbed against her for a long time before finally asking timidly, "Mommy, Daddy— I mean, not daddy, but father, Father he—"
The little guy blinked his eyes, looking at Lin Meng with some unease, because he felt Mommy's grip on his hand had tightened.
"Mommy, I'm sorry, Youyou is not good. Youyou has something hidden from Mommy!"
"It's okay!" Lin Meng shook her head. "You can tell Mommy now, too!"
"Daddy said, 'Yuyu has a daddy. Daddy wants Yuyu to come back to her daddy!'"
When did this happen!
"That is… uh… something that happened a few days before I came here! Mommy, are you mad at Youyou!"
The little boy showed signs of unease.
Lin Meng relaxed her body and shook her head vigorously.
"Foolish child, how could Mommy be angry with you!"
Everything is Mommy's fault, it's Mommy who didn't do well, how could you blame you!
"Yoyo, tell mommy everything daddy told you, okay!"
The little guy hummed in response and explained everything truthfully.
Lin Meng listened quietly, and once again thanked the old man. He was so forgiving and considerate of her. She didn't even need to explain to the child why he became "fatherless," but he had already communicated with the child long ago! Then, some things the child did before would be explained.
"Mommy, a godfather is just like daddy, right!" The little boy looked at her with wide eyes, very seriously. Although he was asking, his face was resolute.
Lin Meng recalled that last night, she was about to ask him this very question, but the man cleverly steered the conversation in a different direction. In the end, he completely led her around by the nose, and she hung up the phone hastily, forgetting this important matter!
That man is so intelligent, he should understand what she wants to ask. Is he doing this to avoid it!
Her heart sank a little.
But, she still nodded heavily at the little guy.
He will do. Regardless, he will do. He is the only one she acknowledges as the child's biological father, even if that man never admits it!
The little guy immediately squinted his eyes, grinned, and burst into a happy smile.
"Hee hee, I knew Daddy was actually Papa! Mommy, let me tell you, I had a feeling long ago that he was Papa, hee hee. A very, very long time ago. I even saw Papa in my dream, hee hee. He looked exactly like Daddy!"
His slightly smug look, Lin Meng felt a pang of sadness seeing it.
Why would she be so irresponsible, forcing a child to fumble and guess, to figure things out
No, she had to get a definite answer from that man! What did she have to fear It was just a "yes" or "no," what question couldn't she ask!
She had already made up her mind. Outside downstairs, it seemed like there was noise again!
This made her feel disgusted!
It's definitely someone pretending to be a kid again!
It's simply too shameless!
This is her only treasure, no one else can take him away!
"Youyou, stay in this room and don't move. Mommy is going downstairs to get you some fruit to eat!"
"Wow!" the little guy replied sweetly, his heart brimming with joy. Because he finally confirmed that Godfather was actually Daddy! Hee hee, next time he sees Godfather, he can directly call him "Daddy"!
Daddy!
Daddy!
……
The little guy called out a few times in his heart, then felt a little embarrassed and started to fidget. His small ears were slightly flushed with two blushes!
But soon he was troubled again.
Daddy should know that Youyou is Daddy's son, right
But if Daddy found out, why would he even let Youyou be his godson!
Daddy, doesn't he know!
Then what will he do the next time he sees his father! If he calls him "father" directly, will his father not recognize him!
The little guy was suddenly in a dilemma, his cute little eyebrows furrowed tightly together.
There, Lin Meng took her phone downstairs and quickly hid in the kitchen, calling Rong Ling. Fortunately, the call went through quickly, and the man's voice on the other end was clear and showed no signs of sleepiness.
"Is something wrong!" he asked in a low voice.
"No, no!" Lin Meng shook her head. "Rong Ling, are you available to take a phone call right now!"
She's so considerate, she doesn't want to disturb his work!
"Go on!"
She was relieved and immediately cut to the chase, asking him urgently. “That night, was it really you! Yoyo, is your son”
He remained silent, giving no reply.
Lin Meng was a little angry, and didn't know what this man was worried about.
"Hey, if you don't speak up, I'll take that as a yes!"
The man still didn't speak.
She felt a little embarrassed, thinking that her way of asking was rather clumsy and not very interesting. "Forget it, I won't force you to admit it!"
Her eyes rolled, a sly smile played on her lips as she let out a cold snort. "Since it wasn't you that night, then there must be someone else. Now that things have come to this, I'll find a father for Youyou! Don't worry about it, our mother and son won't burden you! Quite a few people came knocking before, some looked decent enough. I expect even better ones will come in the future. I'll pick a good one, let him be Youyou's father!"
Hmph, she's said it all this way. Let's see if this man dares to stay silent any longer!
As expected, he spoke up, his voice laced with displeasure. "Don't be reckless!"
“How could it be random!” she raised her voice. “This matter must have a result, Yoyo will have to go out and see people in the future. Didn’t you say last night that I should put Yoyo first I think you are right, so I have to find a good father for him. I know those men have ulterior motives, they probably took a liking to me; I also know that Yoyo's biological father probably won't show up, but it doesn't matter, I said that man is the child’s father, then he is! That way, everyone is happy. Rong Ling, I have to thank you for pointing me in the right direction and giving me a good suggestion!”
When it came down to it, she didn't hide her anger anymore; her tone was even laced with defiance!
That man said, "Are you deliberately trying to annoy me!"
"Not a chance!" she continued to taunt, this time, it was her turn to fall silent!
He couldn't hold it in any longer!
"If you dare to mess around, just wait until I get back and deal with you!"
She curled her lip, completely ignoring his threat! This man, at most, was just trying to scare her verbally. All bark and no bite, she wouldn't fall for it!
She remained silent, and Ji Ge's harsh tone softened.
"Little one, what's gotten into you! Yu-Yu is my son, do I need to explain that myself! Anyone with eyes can see he's mine!"
"Oh!" she snorted. "But I see so many people who can't see with their own eyes. Look, there are already people outside saying Youyou is his son now, and soon, probably even more will come!"
"Woman, your skin is itching, isn't it!" He threatened her again.
She snorted, not afraid at all.
He chuckled wryly. He had intended to use denial to force her to leave the Ruan family, but who knew this woman would outsmart him with her cleverness.
"Alright, my darling, the mother of my child, I'll admit it, Youyou is my son. That night, that man was me, from beginning to end, it was me. It was me who found you, that clueless woman who ran off to the bar and got drugged, and brought you back. I even told someone to keep watch outside until I saw you wake up and leave. So, you stupid woman, that night, there was only one man with you, and you should be thanking me for saving you!"thought of this!"Tell me, let me hear it too!""Haven't decided yet. [..tw lots of good novels]" He concealed it slightly."I haven't figured it out yet, that's why we can brainstorm together! Otherwise...
