, saying nothing. Her eyes were deep and heavy.In the eyes of others, he seemed guilty and speechless. To everyone else, in this three-way game, Lin Meng was a failure. Even Li Lanqiu, watching on, f...Li Lanqiu greeted Rong Ling warmly there, waving chopsticks and bowls. Her elegant figure and radiant, newly sweet smile were just like the mistress of this house!

This lens is a bit harsh, so Lin Meng spoke up. “Li Lanqiu, thank you. But you’re a guest, how could I possibly trouble you. In the future, you don’t need to do these things anymore, it would be embarrassing!”

"Well, it's nothing. You have an injured hand, so I should help out a bit. Besides, Rong likes to eat this, and I'm happy to make it for them!"

Lin Meng immediately understood, for this woman Li Lanqiu, being polite to her would only get you into trouble. She would just take advantage of your kindness!

"My hand is just a minor injury, and it's already healed now, so there's really no need to trouble yourself!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and shook it. The cut from yesterday had mostly closed up, some scabs already forming on the edges.

Li Lanqiu said, "We're all family, why speak of two households!"

Lin Meng was immediately shocked!

This woman...

Lin Meng felt that she and this woman probably lived in two different countries, so their thoughts couldn't align. When did she end up with his family! This woman's way of thinking was too out there! But then she thought about what Rong Ling had said about the woman's kindness to him, and about everything that happened from last night until just now, and she felt the anger in her heart subside.

Forget it, why bother with these pointless arguments!

It's just a few days! Surely she has that much tolerance Why would she want to give herself an image of being quarrelsome and confrontational in Rong Ling's eyes!

Sitting beside the little guy, she reached out and gently rubbed his head. The little guy pouted his lips, puffed up his eyes, and made a strange face at her.

"What!" she asked softly.

The little one didn't say a word, and bumped her hand hard with his head!

A slight change, seeped into her heart. She knew the little one had something on their mind, but didn't want to talk about it now. So, it was probably related to Li Lanqiu, because she was the only outsider here. The presence of an outsider was why the little one kept silent!

Matters on the dining table, she didn't need to worry about them, because it was obvious that Li Lanqiu wanted to do well, just like she had personally prepared this breakfast. She wouldn't deliberately steal her limelight and credit, nor was there any need! As expected, Li Lanqiu still acted like a hostess, skillfully picked up the big spoon, and after Rong Ling sat down, she began scooping porridge. But after only a few scoops, she suddenly "gurgled" and shook her hand, the big spoon fell with a loud "clank"!

""

Lin Meng looked, but didn't move, because this wasn't something she should ask, nor did she need to ask.

"What's going on!" Rong Ling stood up. He asked.

Li Lanqiu's eyes immediately turned red, filled with obvious tears. But she held them back, forcing them down, her hand instinctively retreating as she smiled at Rong Ling.

It's nothing!

"Everyone's bleeding!" Rong Ling's tone was a little off, and his face was a bit dark. He turned around and went to find the first-aid kit. Because Lin Meng had been injured yesterday, the first-aid kit hadn't been moved, so Rong Ling returned very quickly!

When he bandaged her bleeding wound, he saw that it was quite deep and couldn't help but scold her. "Why are you making breakfast when you have a wound on your hand!"

"But, those are all your favorite things!" Li Lanqiu choked back a sob, her voice trembling with heartache as she whispered. "I just want to do something for you, but this hand... this hand..."

She was talking and talking, then suddenly she burst into tears.

"This hand was injured in a car accident, it's useless now, even cutting meat can hurt!"

Rong Ling was immediately stunned!

She must have hurt her hand while preparing this breakfast!

"I... I can't play you any more of your favorite piano pieces!"

It seemed this deeply hurt her, she choked back two sobs, and then suddenly burst into loud, uncontrollable tears!

Feng Ling's expression became somewhat complicated!

She deeply loved the piano, and becoming a pianist was her dream. Abroad, she was also somewhat well-known. Now, having injured her hand is like destroying her dream. She didn't have children like a normal woman, and now even her hands...

Suddenly, I felt a pang of sympathy!

"You... why didn't you say anything before!" His voice became a little strained, clearly emotionally affected!

Lin Meng pursed her lips slightly, looking at the scene. She had no words and felt a chill in her heart.

Li Lanqiu was dabbing at her tears there. "Sob... I'm afraid you'll dislike me... This piano is the only thing I have to show for myself, but… Sob… our most beautiful time together, all of it came from this hand, from the piano… Now I can't play, I don't even know what to do, Rong… Rong…"

"Did the doctor say there's no hope!"

"I'm broken, there's no hope. I lie in this bed, and no one remembers me, except you. I don't want to see anyone, just come back and see you. As soon as I can walk, I'll come see you." She bit her lip. "I was afraid you'd see it, so I took the bandage off beforehand!"

"Then what else did you cook!" Rong Ling moved slightly with anger. "I didn't do anything like that!"

She cried, tears streaming down her face.

"I... I... sniffle... I just want you to look at me more, to think of me fondly, sniffle... I got up at four this morning, and spent so long making this porridge for you..."

Lin Meng couldn't bear to listen any longer. Such deep and heartfelt words, how could she possibly handle them!

She pushed her chair back and stood up. The chair scraped against the tiles, emitting a screech that pulled Rong Ling from his past reverie. His slightly hazy eyes regained their coldness. He turned his head to look at Lin Meng. Lin Meng merely lowered her eyes and whispered something to the little one.

"Mommy is going to make you two eggs!"

The little boy hummed softly, seemingly affected by the oppressive atmosphere as well. His voice was also low.

Rong Ling frowned slightly.

Li Lanqiu burst into tears and asked Rong Ling, "Are they looking down on me! I really put my heart into making this porridge, it's delicious and absolutely clean…"

She defended herself hastily, but every sentence was a veiled accusation to Lin Meng and the little ones!

Lin Meng didn't maliciously slander her, but that doesn't mean she would remain silent.

“Li Lanqiu, you misunderstood!” Lin Meng interrupted her, thinking her tone was quite calm. “You put a lot of effort into making this porridge. I think Yuanyuan and I shouldn’t take advantage of your hard work, so we should let Rong Ling eat it all. Since you worked so hard, if Yuanyuan and I ate it, I would feel uneasy in my heart!”

Li Lanqiu moved her lips, and after a long while, she weakly defended herself. "You... you can eat them too, I made a lot!"

Kelly dreamt only smiled and went into the kitchen, while Li Lanqiu stopped persuading her.

This heart feels a bit stifled.

"After dinner, I'll take you to see a doctor," he said.

"No need, everything that was meant to be has already happened. I'm not so fragile!" She shook her head, her voice soft.

It reached Lin Meng's ears, but she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. It was as if yesterday's actions had become a kind of "weakness"! Compared to her, who even with broken bones and bleeding could feel nothing, she seemed truly "weak"!

Oh!

I'm afraid of being compared!

With a sigh, she still skillfully fried the eggs, toasted the bread, and warmed the milk. She carried it all over and placed it in front of the little boy.

"Eat up!"

As for the congee, it was specially made by Li Lanqiu for Rong Ling, and she wouldn't even touch it!

The little guy hummed again, burying his head and quickly ate.

And Li Lanqiu, holding chopsticks, clumsily ate congee and salted vegetables, as proof, as she said, her hands had suffered some harm. But Rong Ling's actions were merely to eat with her, providing her with a spoon and fork.

"Here you go, easier this way!"

Lin Meng looked on, and suddenly felt a lightness in her heart. She even had a surge of wanting to laugh, but the smile reached her lips and quickly disappeared.

"We trust your father!"

On the way to take her little one to school, she said this to him, and in her heart, she told herself the same thing.

So, while Rong Ling and Li Lanqiu were still there slowly sipping their congee, she brought up the idea of sending the little one to school. She did her best to believe in her man, and gave him as much space of trust as possible. Faced with the little one frowning and expressing displeasure, she could only try her best to soothe the child's discomfort.

"Mommy, Youyou doesn't like this Aunt Li, she's weird!"

“Well, Mommy thinks that aunt is a little strange too. But Yoyo, don't let that aunt hear us say that, okay Let's just keep it to ourselves. Besides, she'll be gone in a few days!”

"Really!" he looked doubtful.

"Your father said so!"

The little guy frowned again, clutching her hand, and she had no idea what he was thinking about. His grip was quite tight. She patiently waited, until the little guy mumbled sadly.

"Daddy is kind of weird too," he seemed to think it wasn't good to say that, and quickly added, "Anyway, Youyou doesn't like Auntie Li, Youyou wants Auntie Li to leave soon. Mommy, is what Daddy said true! Are we really going to let Auntie Li go!"

Poor Rong Ling, does he know that he has caused his beloved son to distrust him!

Lin Meng felt a little sympathy for Rong Ling, but she also thought the man deserved it!

But she couldn't let her darling son be left with a shadow over his heart, so she smiled and held him tightly in her arms, replying with certainty.

“Of course it’s true, your father told me personally. Also, Youyou, we have to believe your father!”

The little guy let out an "Oh!" His face, which was a bit downcast just moments ago, visibly brightened. His mouth opened and closed with a happy little chatter, like he had been given honey.

"Daddy loves Mommy the most, and what Daddy says to Mommy is definitely true, hehe. And what Mommy says to Youyou is also true. Mm!" The little guy nodded heavily. "Youyou believes Mommy, and Youyou believes Daddy!"

After all that circling, Lin Meng was almost dizzy. Listening to the little one's naive and straightforward reasoning, she smiled. She felt that things weren't as complicated as they seemed!

But, after buying a huge amount of food and supplies at the supermarket, she returned to an empty house. Her heart felt heavy! She had intended to fill the home with love by providing for her family. She was imagining how happy her husband and son would be when they tasted the delicious meals she planned to cook. However, when she arrived home with several heavy shopping bags weighing down her shoulders, only silence greeted her. Facing this vast, empty space, she truly felt a sense of profound disappointment!

I instinctively reached for my phone to call him, but I saw an unread text message. When I opened it, it was from him.

I'll take her out for a bit, you don't have to make lunch. Wait for me to come back, and I'll take you out to eat!

Judging by the time, she probably sent it while she was at the supermarket. Maybe it was a bit noisy there, so she didn't hear the message notification sound. He still had her on his mind and said he wanted to take her out for lunch, which meant he cared about her. She should be happy, but deep down, she felt a little melancholy. As she packed things up and put them neatly in the fridge, she looked at the empty fridge and felt a pang of sadness, a sense of deja vu. She felt like that cold, empty fridge herself. Even if the empty fridge was quickly filled with all kinds of food, her mood probably wouldn't improve much.

This kind of sadness, before that woman left, she knew, she wouldn't leave her!

She began to feel how empty the house was!

It's too big, so it looks a bit empty!

The man is gone, Youyou is gone, and now she's all alone. She doesn't know what to do!

She sat on the sofa for a while, dazed. Then suddenly she felt invigorated, feeling that her melancholic mood was somewhat ridiculous and self-indulgent.

We agreed to trust that man, didn't we!

And, overseas these years, hasn't she been like this too! Isn't it possible that by returning to a man's side and having a man's love, she'd become unable to leave him for even a moment!

So inspiring!

She still has a lot of work to do!

As she thought this way, strength returned to her body, and she walked back to her small study. She started tinkering with her computer, opening up the hard drive to look at various indicators, while also browsing news from all sides! Looking at these familiar curves and numbers, her heart gradually calmed down!

However, the tree wishes for stillness but the wind will not cease!

He Yaa and Rong Qikeng arrived, claiming to be visiting Li Lanqiu. Of course, she wouldn't let the two of them in, so she politely refused, stating that Li Lanqiu had already gone out.

"Auntie Qiu said that she would be back soon, let's come in and wait for a while!"

Autumn Sister, this obviously calls for Li Lanqiu!

Such a sweet nickname!

However, Li Lanqiu's attitude of completely regarding herself as the mistress is rather annoying!

She is a guest!

Isn't it amazing to be able to gather friends and acquaintances so openly!

Moreover, the one who came was He Ya, whom she disliked very much, including Rong Qikeng. Because this man had hurt her man!

She took out her phone and immediately called Rong Ling, explaining the situation.

"Shall I let them in" She gave the choice to Rong Ling!

Then came Rong Ling's voice inquiring about Li Lanqiu through the phone. Li Lanqiu's voice was innocent and helpless, carried across the phone line.

“The girl called me earlier saying she wanted to see me. I happened to be tired of playing and wanted to go back, so I told her to just come to my place directly. What Do I need to report this to you personally! It’s Yiping’s niece, and the two of us get along well. She arrived first, so I let her in and have a seat while I wait for a bit, is that okay! Why are there so many rules! You there, always so on guard!”

"No!"

"But the feeling I get from you is that you're always on guard. It was like that when Yiping came to see me last time, and now that this girl is here, it's the same. Have you gotten used to being so guarded all the time, or... because they're my friends, are you guarding against them, keeping them all out"

When it came to this, her voice took on a hint of sadness!

Rong Ling didn't move at all!

Lin Meng couldn't imagine what Rong Ling and Li Yiping were feeling right now, nor could she imagine their current postures. She didn't want to think about it, let alone give herself a second round of unnecessary worry. She squeezed her phone tightly, and her heart began to ache again. Opening her mouth, helplessly, she could only act as the bad guy.

It's not what you think, it's me...

Rong Ling seemed to know everything about her. He opened his mouth and took over the words she was about to say. "It's a disagreement between me, He Ya, and Rong Qikeng. Mengmeng knows about this, so they came here. She would call me. I didn't know they would come looking for you. If I had known, I would have let them meet you outside!"

The cold and clear words came through the phone, carrying an even more icy feel. But when Lin Meng heard them, she felt a sense of comfort from head to toe, and her heart warmed up a lot! She could imagine that when he said this, his face must have been stern, and if someone saw it, they would be hurt! She had been hurt by his cold and aloof attitude before!

And Li Lanqiu, I'd estimate she wouldn't be an exception! She boldly guessed that at this moment, Li Lanqiu's face probably wouldn't look too good!

Imagine her silently smiling with her eyes closed.

Perhaps Li Lanqiu was truly struck, because after a while, she finally spoke.

“Why don’t we just meet at home They’re already at the doorstep. It’s not good to make them walk back and forth. I really don’t know what’s going on between you and them, because from what I hear, Rong Qinkeng is still your brother, hey, if I had known this earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have let them come to the house. But since I know that you don’t get along with them, after this meeting, I will absolutely never let them come to the house again! Rong, I listen to you!”

Her overbearing and condescending tone immediately dissipated Lin Meng's good mood!

She's really, kind of beaten by this woman!

Come on, that's not her house, is it!

This is her and Rong Ling's home!

And she could swear she really had no idea what those things between He Ya and them were!

And what about He Ya and Rong Qikeng, are they really just here to visit!

Why does she always have a bad feeling!

I really don't want to let these two people in!

She was furious!

But, with Li Lanqiu's tone of voice, she basically figured that the final result would definitely be as Li Lanqiu wished!

And that's exactly how it is!

Rong Ling agreed!

She gritted her teeth inwardly, this was truly a damned favor!

If I had known earlier, I would have rather her run out and take that damn sword for Rong Ling!

What a pain!

Pouting, she couldn't help but tug at her hair!

However, somehow, the man seemed to know about her bad mood. Although he said to let Rong Qikeng and He Ya come in, he also added...

"Mengmeng, let them sit in the car for a while first. We're almost there, and then we'll go inside together."

Lin Meng is ecstatic!

Li Lanqiu is unhappy!

"That doesn't sound very good, does it!"

"It's nothing, just waiting for a while. Mengmeng is alone at home, and I'm not really comfortable letting her face the two of them by herself!"

Li Lanqiu bit her lip, her eyes filled with a mix of melancholy and resentment.

"What's there to be worried about!" she said with an indignant tone.

Rong Ling didn't say a word and looked like he wasn't paying attention to her!

Lin Meng finally couldn't help herself, giggling with a hint of smugness that she didn't even try to hide over the phone!

You stinking man, at least you have some conscience, knowing to protect her!

You passed this time!

Feeling good, she suddenly had a mischievous idea. In a sweet voice mimicking Li Lanqiu's tone, she uttered a coquettish, " ",

"I'll do as you say!"

Then, with another burst of inspiration, he slammed his phone again, letting out a loud "M-ma!" and sending Ling a big air kiss!

"Come back soon, I'm waiting for you!"

The man chuckled, seeming to have been thwarted by the cold. He admonished her with a warning: "Don't tease!"

Just break the phone!

But she was so happy that she wanted to dance, and couldn't help but twirl around in place!

It feels so good!
