antly came to her senses, gritted her teeth, and pushed back at Wu Shengnan with anger. Wu Shengnan was enraged, she clenched her fists and went to punch Lin Meng. Lin Meng endured it gritting her te...Chapter Name: 398

"Come, let's go!"

With a cold face, she urged Rong Qikeng!

Other intimate terms of endearment, she couldn't bring herself to say. Calling him "Rong" was misleading; only she knew in her heart which one she loved and hated.

Kong Zhi naturally couldn't be intimidated by Rong Ling like that, so he forced himself to appear nonchalant and replied loudly.

"Okay, I'll be waiting!"

He acted totally fearless, then strode away! Behind him, He Ya, with her big belly, was lagging behind and getting tired. She had to reach out and tug at his sleeve before he slowed his pace, took her hand, and led her forward.

He Ya's heart was breaking, but she could only grit her teeth and stand tall, refusing to let the despair after her glory be seen by others!

She still has a great chance!

This is the Madam's place!

The baby in your belly!

Future Head of the Rong Family!

She will have greater backing!

This is how she comforted herself!

But, could their interactions between her and Rong Qikeng be kept secret from others! Lin Meng watched, feeling a hint of melancholy, but she would definitely not sympathize. This was He Ya's chosen path, so she had to take responsibility for the consequences!

"They just left like that!" she murmured. "Wasn't it said they were coming to see Li Lanqiu!"

She turned her gaze to Li Lanqiu on the side. She had been unusually silent from the beginning to now!

As well, basically everyone ignored her. Even Rong Qikeng, even if he wanted to humiliate Rong Ling, only brought up Lin Meng, not mentioning her at all, as if she were an invisible person!

Lin Meng's piercing gaze made Li Lanqiu feel a little ashamed, but more importantly, a natural aversion and resistance! But since things had come to this, what could she do to resist! Words of defense and rebuttal were simply impossible!

A cold look also fell upon Li Lanqiu from Rong Ling's eyes.

If you have something to say to them, say it outside. From now on, this place is off-limits to them!

With a heavy sigh, and a tone of rebuke, his anger was undisguised!

He was furious because his woman had been hurt. There was a line in his heart, once crossed, even if it were Li Lanqiu standing before him, he would not be polite!

Li Lanqiu immediately shrank her shoulders in fear, weakly explaining. “I didn’t know they would do this. He Ya said she wanted to see me, and I didn’t think much of it, so I agreed…”

"Alright!" Rong Ling impatiently cut her off. "I don't want to hear about what's going on between you and them, just remember what I just said!"

Xiong Ling's anger clouded his judgment, failing to notice a subtle detail. However, the observant Lin Meng, watching from afar, did pick up on it. Li Lanqiu had swiftly changed her address for He Ya, shifting from the affectionate "girl" to the more distant "He Ya". This struck a discordant note in Lin Meng's heart. Such Li Lanqiu seemed rather "weather-vane-like"!

The thought vanished as quickly as it had appeared. For Rong Ling, seizing her hand tightly before releasing it gently and taking hold of it again, said to her,

"No one can insult you, I'll make them pay for it!"

His unwavering tone and the undisguised support he conveyed were palpable. This man, standing beside her, towering over her like a mountain, was deep and profound. The sense of security and strength he embodied left no room for doubt.

She smiled and nodded lightly.

He suddenly seemed overly worried, nagging her like a mother hen.

From now on, if someone you don't like comes to your door, just don't open it. And don't bother calling me to ask!

It seems the power was more delegated. She smiled even brighter and sweetly hummed in agreement.

He then let her go change her clothes and took her out for lunch because he remembered that she had just said she was a little hungry. She asked him to go with her, and he agreed. He let himself be led along by her without feeling anything amiss. It seemed as if his eyes and heart were already completely filled with her, leaving no room for anything else.

What was surprising was that at this time, Li Lanqiu didn't say a word and just watched Lin Meng and Rong Ling walk away intimately. This wasn't like her!

But, her heart was already occupied by something bigger, so she didn't want to dwell on such trivial matters!

Rong Ling said that he would make Rong Qikeng pay the price, which made her excited. It was also the biggest gain she had in getting close to Rong Ling for so many days. Was Rong Ling finally going to take action! Then, the secrets on his body would be revealed! In this way, if she achieved great gains, she could complete her mission sooner!

I've endured for so many years, just waiting for this day!

She let out a long sigh of relief.

But even better, there's more to come!

The time has been set. Today, Lin Meng will die!

He Ya's arrival brought good things. With a little effort, she should be able to easily force Lin Meng out of this house. Then, killing her would be easy! Only, there was something in her heart that wasn't quite right. Because, to just let her die like this, it was really a pity. If possible, she wanted to torture her severely, making her wish for death!

But—

tsk tsk…

She curled her lip, it was a direct order from above, she had to comply!

On the other side, Lin Meng came out of the dressing room wearing a beautiful lavender dress. She grinned at Rong Ling, her sparkling eyes hinting at some mischief.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, questioning with his eyes, because this little woman obviously had something to say.

Then she smiled again, her long eyelashes fluttering up and down as she looked at him with an endearing expression.

"What are you laughing at" Rong Ling couldn't help but ask, and took the initiative to walk over. He reached out and gently touched her eyes. Her curled eyelashes danced under his fingertips, vibrating lightly through the nerve endings, stirring his heart. His eyes unconsciously narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of enjoyment!

Every part of her is a highlight, something he could endlessly love.

"Her name is Rong O!"

A soft tone, with a hint of playful teasing.

Róng Lǐng didn't quite understand, still looking at him with her eyes.

"He Ya called out, 'Rong' oh, also called 'Rong' oh!"

She winked at him, a knowing look in her eye!

"What do you want to say!" Rong Ling responded with a faint "Hmm" his tone rising slightly at the end, a hint of amusement in his heart.

Lin Meng shook her head and pushed the question back to him.

Anyway, you know!

Cut, Li Lanqiu wasn't just calling him "Rong" right Now that he and Rong Qikeng have both received the same title, doesn't his heart feel a bit uncomfortable!

She winked at him again, smiling playfully. "Still think Rong Ling sounds better"

"What a strange idea!" he rebuked softly, giving her bottom a light pat.

She immediately reached out and covered it, then let out a soft "hum".

"Fine, you can keep letting people call you Rong and enjoy yourself. Have fun with it!"

Saying that, she flung her legs and walked away, but he caught her from behind. He lowered his head, because even at this back-hugging angle, the height difference between them allowed him to easily nibble on her slightly pouted little mouth.

"Well, you little jealous one, I'm starting to think the name 'Rong' is a bit strange now too. Believe me, I certainly won't be enjoying this!"

Her lips parted slightly, and the corners of her eyebrows rose ever so gently.

Don't blame her for making things difficult for Li Lanqiu!

To keep her man, she'd definitely use a little trickery!

She doesn't know that her current appearance is so adorable. Like a cat caught stealing, she tries hard to hide it, but she can't help but squint her eyes and purse her lips, making her look irresistibly cute. I just want to rush forward and pinch her cheek.

His response was to hold her like that and bite her fiercely, again and again, until her little mouth became red and plump, like it had been painted with the finest rouge. If not for her soft whimper of pain, he could have kept going like this forever, perhaps even eating her whole before dinner!

"Where does it hurt" he frowned. Because he was kissing her, how could it possibly hurt!

"My shoulders!" she whined softly. "I went to the supermarket this morning and bought a lot of things, then I carried several bags, they were so heavy, my shoulders hurt from carrying them!"

Saying that, she rubbed her right shoulder with her hand, then turned around and rubbed against his chest, intending to evoke his sympathy. But when she looked up—

Oh!

What a dark face!

Her heart skipped a beat.

"Why are you looking so strange" she said in a small, aggrieved voice.

He narrowed his eyes, looking cold and aloof.

"Didn't I tell you not to mention those heavy things!"

That cold look, truly resembles an imposing patriarch!

She shrugged her shoulders, thinking to herself that she was doomed.

As expected, he continued to coldly berate her. "Don't you even know your own hands Could you possibly lift something heavy! Where is Ah Yi Shouldn't you have given him the thing to carry"

Yeah, Yi is responsible for picking up and dropping off Xiao Youyou from school. That means Yi also needs to send Lin Meng back home. So, she went to the supermarket, and Yi can totally act as a porter!

Lin Meng immediately weakly defended. “This, it’s just a little thing, where would it even be used! Besides…”

She chuckled dryly. "And, really not sinking—"

But under the man's suspicious gaze, she immediately felt a shiver down her spine and changed her story. "Actually, um, it's like this, I carried all the heavy stuff with my left hand, and this...with my right hand, I was just carrying a small bag, um, very light...a very light small bag!"

She raised her right hand, bringing her thumb and forefinger together, squeezing them slightly, to indicate that it was just that little bit of something!

But the man rudely exposed her lie, directly placing his big hand on her right shoulder.

"You said you were hurting just now, but you're rubbing this area!"

Lin Meng immediately froze, her expression was so awkward, it couldn't be more awkward.

"This…"

She had racked her brains, but there was simply no reasonable excuse left to find!

“Anything else you want to say!” The man said coldly, grabbing her right hand. His eyes were fixed on her wrist where a faint scar lingered, a mark that even the best scar cream couldn't erase. It was proof of his past hurt, a reminder for him to cherish and protect her.

He reached out and gently caressed the scar left by a wrist-slashing suicide attempt, his face contorted with pain.

"He has no memory!"

He couldn't help but scold her again!

She shivered slightly, her hand trembling sensitively. But he held on tight. Peeking at his expression, she guessed that he seemed intent on continuing to scold her, so she immediately tried to withdraw her hand. Unable to pull it back, she simply threw herself into his embrace, shaking her head and trying to defend herself.

"You never told me anything, I don't remember at all, whatever, whatever, anyway, I don't know anything!"

Snuggling in his arms, she whimpered and grumbled, a total little brat!

He stared!

Unfortunately, she only shook her head and ignored him completely. He glared, it was all for nothing!

"You little rascal!" he hissed.

She stuck out her tongue and didn't respond, nuzzling against him in his arms.

He couldn't really do anything to her, so he could only helplessly tease her.

"Look at you now, you're a mother! You still act like this Be careful, people will laugh at you!"

She was indignant and lifted her chin.

"Who decided what a mother should be like, and who decided what someone who is not a mother should be like!"

He's looking stubbornly and inexplicably defiant!

"Sharp teeth and a sharp tongue!"

He scolded her again!

She pouted.

He looked cold and unyielding.

She helplessly adopted a conciliatory policy, frowning and looking at him pitifully.

Okay, stop teasing me! I'm starving to death! Come on, come on, let's go have lunch right now!

Saying that, she grabbed his arm with one hand, shaking it slightly and acting coquettishly!

Like a child!

He thought to himself, reaching out with one hand to touch her shoulder.

"Is this here!" she asked!

"Huh!" she said, inexplicably.

He rubbed his eyes, and she let out a grunt. Finally understanding, but immediately feeling something was wrong, she quickly clamped her mouth shut.

He knew he was in the right place.

"From now on, don't torture yourself like this anymore!" he reprimanded her again, his hands continuing to knead.

His massage is still really good!

Who knows where he learned that from!

Anyway, he thinks he's hot stuff!

She playfully stuck out her tongue.

He lowered his voice, his cold, brown eyes locking onto her with severity.

"Got it!"

OK!

"This time, I'm officially telling you, get your memory straight!"

"Got it!"

"Next time, don't forget!"

"Got it!" She drew out the response.

"Stop acting like you forgot!"

"Róng Ling—" she looked at him pitifully. Please, don't talk about her anymore, it's not a big deal!

"Answer well!"

"Ugh, she pouted, thinking to herself, *If I had known better, I wouldn't have mentioned my sore shoulders!* What a stubborn man. But she still obediently replied."

" deeply uncomfortable.He explained as casually as could be. “Your head’s hurt, you’re probably a little dizzy right now. I’d better carry you back, just in case you faint halfway.”Saying that, Guoguo...
