secret intimacy, as if they really were two close brothers!"Shh!" Lin Meng held up her index finger to her lips, and lightly pointed with the other hand at the two little ones who were already asleep....Jiang Yancheng, judging from the other person's tone, could confirm that the other party hadn't suspected him at all. This was good. (..tw好看的小說) At first, he hadn't expected that the fact that his wife had been saved would spread so quickly and cause such a stir. Even on site, he wanted to keep things under wraps and avoid being noticed by others, but he found himself overwhelmed. There were too many curious people, each either powerful themselves or backed by influential figures; he couldn't afford to offend them. Many of them had even personally visited the scene. He felt things were spiraling out of control. He wanted to concoct a lie, claiming that three people had been secretly dispatched last night, but before he could spread the word, a master had already concluded that everything was the work of a single person. Helpless, he clamped his lips shut, claiming ignorance and turning away all those who came inquiring, but in his heart, he still felt somewhat sorry for Rong Ling. He was also annoyed by this chaotic situation.

But so-called "fortune and misfortune are interdependent", on second thought, this out-of-control situation could be utilized very well by him. Under everyone's scrutiny, in order to avoid suspicion, firstly, he didn't have to deal with Rong Ling anymore; secondly, he could also take the opportunity to clean up his relationship with the Liu family.

But at this time, Jiang Yichen didn't actually know that a huge disaster had just been dodged by him, and Rong Ling saved their Jiang family once again.

A misfortune may bring forth good fortune, and a blessing may bring forth disaster.

Ancestors' words are profound and mysterious, not something ordinary people can grasp.

On Jiang's mother's side, she returned after a harrowing ordeal, barely escaping death. This made her even more worried about Xiao Youyou. She didn't take time to rest herself and dismissed her friends and family. At the appointed hour, she had a military vehicle drive her to Old Master Yan's place. Upon arrival, due to protocol, she could only suppress her inner turmoil and watched from afar as the little one sweated profusely, with a serious expression, diligently practicing martial arts under Old Master Yan's guidance.

Then Lin Meng arrived. She was here to pick up the child. Seeing Jiang Mu, she was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Jiang Mu to come today.

After hesitating for a moment, she greeted him as usual. "I heard about what happened last night. Are you alright"

When Jiang Mu had turned a full circle in the Gate of Life and Death, her state of mind was vastly different. Looking at Lin Meng, she didn't love her instantly with every fiber of her being, but at least she could treat her as a worthy junior who was likable.

That's great.

Lin Meng simply hummed in response and, after a moment of thought, reminded her to rest. Such words of concern would have previously been disregarded by Jiang Mu, but now they resonated within her heart. Hearing them, she felt deeply touched and moved. Recalling the woman's past forbearance and care towards her, she sighed inwardly.

This is a good child!

"Thinking to herself, she pointed to the seat beside her. 'Sit here,' "

Have her sit beside her. That's definitely a friendly gesture.

Lin Meng's heart skipped a beat, she didn't refuse, and sat down. As soon as she sat down, Jiang Mu reached out and grabbed her hand, gently patting it.

Lin Meng looked over and saw Mother Jiang give her a slight smile before releasing her hand. Lin Meng didn't say much either, there wasn't much to say in this kind of situation. But she understood Mother Jiang's attitude.

She smiled faintly, and also raised her eyes, looking through the glass at her son in the courtyard. Then she heard Jiang's mother murmur softly.

"You have to be careful, they can't get Rong Ling, so they'll come after you. That woman is a mistress, and since you can't stand her, perhaps they will send someone to kill her. This is their point of entry!"

Lin Meng remained still, only glancing at Jiang Mu with the corner of her eye. She understood who Jiang Mu was referring to in her words, just by a slight thought. This was a kind suggestion from Jiang Mu, which she received and was happy about. It truly confirmed what Rong Ling had guessed - their feud with the Jiang family was going to be resolved.

"Mmm," she replied softly.

The two of them didn't speak afterward, still acting as distant from each other as ever. It seemed they only sat together like this because of the child in the yard.

Two little boys finished their afternoon practice, walked in with sweat dripping from their heads. Jiang Mu immediately excitedly greeted them, squatting in front of Xiao Youyou, looking at him with loving eyes.

"Grandma!" Little Youyou called out crisply, with affection, allowing Jiang Mu's hand to land on his little face.

Xiao Hao ran past him, happily rushing straight to Lin Meng, throwing himself into his arms and excitedly calling out, "Mommy." Lin Meng took out a wet towel and wiped the sweat off Xiao Hao's face. He didn't go over to Xiao Youyou and Jiang Mu, thoughtfully wanting to give those two some space, but he didn't see Xiao Youyou's eyes scanning over, dimming instantly.

She crouched in front of Xiaohuao, wiping his sweat and feeding him water, the picture of a dutiful mother. Meanwhile, he was pulled by Jiang's mother, also being fussed over with concern, as if she were his true relative.

Jiang Mu was also wiping the child's forehead with a wet towel, then paused. Because she hadn't missed the child's averted gaze and the fleeting sadness in his eyes. This kind of thing, she wouldn't have noticed before. In the past, she would have been eager to snatch the child away from Lin Meng, so it was natural for her to dominate him. Every time he came out, she would be the first to rush over and pull him to her side. Even Lin Meng, the child's biological mother, was pushed aside by her. After all, Lin Meng still had another child to take care of, one for each person, fair and square.

Now, because her mindset had changed, Jiang's mother suddenly realized many details she had deliberately ignored, and then, she felt a pang of heartache. She treated this child well, but after all, she wasn't the child's biological mother. Even if she was the child's grandmother, she was still not the child's biological mother. Every time she pulled the child over, she would make the child watch others be embraced by their mothers, acting cute and being showered with love and care by their mothers. How could this child's heart not be hurt!

Her ring finger trembled slightly. She caught the fleeting look of disappointment in the child's eyes, and also the quickness with which the child looked away and then, as if nothing had happened, returned her gaze to her, carefully concealing her true feelings.

Even this child smiled at her.

"Grandma, Yoyo misses you!"

Her heart immediately ached with concern.

It was a mixture of pity and relief. He was such a good boy, kind, considerate, and always thoughtful. He had been through so much, and the thought of almost losing him still made her tremble. A few tears welled up in her eyes.

"Grandma misses you too!"

Her voice choked with emotion.

The little boy immediately reached out with both hands, touching her eyes and gently brushing them to the sides, wiping away those teardrops.

"Don't cry!"

He shook his head at her, his dark eyes, very pure. His quiet face, his gentle expression, also revealed a power that soothed the soul.

"Youyou is here, Grandma is here, we are all here, and we are all well."

So small, yet the words spoken carry a certain wisdom. This tiny and diminutive form seems to hold an infinite mysterious power within it.

Jiang Mu's heart moved, she suddenly hugged the little one tightly, burying her face on his small shoulder. When she closed her eyes, hot tears streamed down.

She hugged the ground very tightly, tightly enough that an ordinary child would have found it unbearable. But the little fellow didn't even furrow his brow. After feeling something hot land on his shoulder, he struggled slightly, finally reaching out with one hand, then circled around Jiang Mu's back, and raised his small hand, patting lightly up and down. Just like when his mommy or daddy soothed him.

He didn't say a word, just sat there quietly with his eyes half-closed. His little hands rose and fell in a rhythmic pattern. He looked so peaceful, like a little grown-up.

His peacefulness seemed to permeate the entire atmosphere. Xiao Hao stopped talking and turned his head to look at his older brother. Lin Meng, half-holding Xiao Hao in his arms, watched silently from the side, not uttering a word to disturb him, his heart stirred within him for a moment.

As for Old Master Yan, he simply didn't go into the house and stayed in the courtyard.

In this utter peace, Jiang's mother silently wept, the last trace of melancholy from her ordeal dissipating with each tear.

Slowly wiping the tears from her face, Jiang Mu let go of the little one and affectionately kissed her forehead.

"Grandma's good grandson, Grandma is fine!"

Jiang's mother rushed towards him, laughing broadly. Knowing in her heart that the events of last night were definitely known to this little fellow. This calm and collected demeanor wasn't like her Xiaolang's; it must have been inherited from his father, or perhaps, also from his mother.

Mrs. Jiang's gaze swept past Lin Meng and then over the child she was half-hugging. She withdrew her gaze and lovingly combed Youyou's hair, and stroked his little face.

"Isn't martial arts training tiring" she asked as usual.

"Not tired!"

Jiang Mu smiled and pinched the little boy's arms and legs, praisingly.

"Well, her legs are getting strong too, look at them, really sturdy!"

The little guy's mouth twitched slightly, but it was a subtle expression.

For relatives and close friends, the little guy has his own scale in his heart. Facing his parents, he can do whatever he wants without any reservation. But in front of others, because of their closeness, his emotions will be restrained to different degrees. If this was said by Lin Meng, he would definitely smile happily. But if this was said by an ordinary aunt he had never met a few times, the little guy would act cool and expressionless. Towards Jiang's mother, the little guy still shows affection.

Seeing such a little fellow, Jiang Mu loved him more and more. However, because of the understanding she had just gained in her heart, she quickly said goodbye.

"Little fella, quickly, stop him!"

"Grandma, Youyou brought you something!"

Jiang Mu was somewhat surprised, her light brown eyes brightening slightly.

The little boy went to get his small schoolbag and took out a small lunchbox from it, handing it to Jiang's mother.

"Youyou's favorite food is dumplings. Daddy chops the filling, Mommy wraps the dumplings, and Youyou packs them in the lunchbox to give to Grandma for a surprise!"

Jiang Mu's eyes immediately welled up with tears again, touched to her heart.

"Does Youyou know that Grandma is coming to see you today"

"Hmm," the little boy nodded heavily, looking very sure of himself.

Her mother's heart softened, thinking to herself, "This truly is my son, my dear grandson. We are truly connected." Immediately, she opened the lunchbox and saw plump dumplings neatly arranged inside. They looked so appealing!

"It's better when it's warmed up!"

But the mother Jiang immediately reached out and grabbed one, stuffing it into her mouth. The child-like grin she flashed at the little boy was contagious.

"It's so delicious, Grandma can't help herself, she wants to eat one first to whet her appetite."

But she didn't even care if the dumplings were clean. To be so decisive, it showed from another angle that she had completely let down her guard against Lin Meng and his family.

"Delicious, so delicious..." Mother Jiang praised repeatedly.

The little kid smiled shyly, showing off his two cute front teeth.

"It was made by Daddy and Mommy."

Don't forget to add points for yourself in your mother's heart.

Jiang Mu understood and smiled again. At the same time, she carefully replaced the lid on the food container and held it with both hands as if it were a precious treasure.

"Next time, Grandma will also make delicious food for you to bring home and share with Daddy and Mommy, okay"

The little guy laughed and nodded.

This way, we should establish diplomatic relations and have frequent exchanges. In the future, Grandma's house and Mom's house will become even closer, right

The little guy's heart was filled with this thought, and he smiled faintly, very satisfied. His eyes, just like his mother's, were beautiful and reflected a faint, mesmerizing glow as they flickered in the light.

Jiang Mu nodded and walked into the forest.

Xiao Youyou finally walked to Lin Meng's side and reached out a small hand to grab her. Lin Meng lowered her head and looked at this little guy who had his own ideas and was struggling in his own way. Her eyes softened again and again. She didn't say much, but she squatted down and kissed the little guy fiercely.

The little boy immediately laughed gleefully, excitedly. He held her hand and bid farewell to Old Master Yan before getting into the car.

Both little guys were exhausted after practicing all afternoon, especially in the summer heat. Martial arts training can cause significant water loss, making one feel even more drained. As soon as they got in the car, they leaned against Lin Meng on either side and closed their eyes for a small rest.

Her phone buzzed twice, signaling an incoming text message. She didn't want to disturb little Haohao, so she moved her left hand slightly. Little Youyou, who was nestled against her left shoulder, opened his eyes and turned, rubbing his small face against her armpit. Lin Meng adjusted her position slightly, pressing him against her chest, then reached out with her other hand, gently patting his back to soothe him before finally reaching for her phone.

As soon as she opened the text message, she was stunned. It was from Jiang's mother.

"I won't fight you for my son anymore. He's your son, after all. You should treat him better than any other child in the world. He was so pitiful just now. I'm sorry to have hurt him."

This was a text message that Jiang's mother had carefully considered for a long time. She deleted, edited, deleted again, and edited once more, weighing her words for hours before finally writing it down. She believed that with Lin Meng's intelligence and wit, she should be able to understand what she wanted to express.

Lin Meng looked and sighed inwardly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with guilt as she looked at Xiao Youyou. Her son was good, well-behaved, and capable, just like his father. But he was also like his father, enduring hardships silently without speaking up, swallowing them alone. Every time, she let her son directly fall into Jiang Mama's arms. It was her selfishness, wanting to comfort Jiang Mama in this way, to make amends for Xiao Lang's absence and her own mistakes. However, she owed her son!

This is her beloved baby!

She must be hurting to her very core!

Putting down her phone, she gently inserted her finger into the little boy's short, soft hair and slowly combed and caressed it.

The little one moved slightly, lifted his eyes, and looked at him with bright eyes, much like a pampered puppy, full of undisguised joy. She turned her face sideways and gently kissed his forehead with soft lips, a smile playing on her brow.

The little guy gradually became embarrassed, his face flushed slightly, and he looked at her silently. A pair of big eyes, full of curiosity, didn't know what was going on, but his small mouth was turned up and he wouldn't speak, as if he would rather bear this curiosity than stop being pampered. Gradually, his increasingly watery eyes, bright and shining, began to twinkle, just like talking, it really looked adorable, making people crave him.

Lin Meng's heart moved, and she gently rubbed his little ear.

Mommy's taking you to eat Hagen-Dazs, will you go or not!

The little guy couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately let out a "wow!" sound, like an excited little monster. His little butt wiggled slightly at the same time, bobbing up and down with the car's movement, just like a tail wagging back and forth.

It's so cute!

“Then it’s decided!” she said.

The little boy immediately nodded heavily, happily turned his head to greet Xiao Haohuo, and then his mouth opened wide. He immediately reached out and tugged at Lin Meng's sleeve, pointing with his little finger. Lin Meng followed his gaze and couldn't help but chuckle secretly. Xiao Haohuo was leaning against her arm, his face asleep and crooked, even his mouth was twisted. It looked as if someone had accidentally flattened him. Even more amusingly, there was a glistening saliva dripping from his crooked sleeping mouth, hanging from half of his chin. But what's even funnier is that he was still sleeping so innocently, with his eyes closed and the corners of his eyes slightly curved upwards, his white and tender face full of smiles. Even his crooked little mouth was slightly parted, looking as if he was smiling contentedly and happily.

This seems to be smiling even in a dream!

Lin Meng couldn't help it, her mouth was getting wider and wider.

The little boy immediately extended both hands, opening one palm and using his other index finger to point under the palm. He made a silent gesture, then slightly turned his head and snatched his mommy's phone away. After opening it, he quickly took several pictures. Not satisfied with just one, the little boy kept snapping photos. Once he was done, he giggled happily and leaned towards Lin Meng, nuzzling his small head into her shoulder.

"Mommy, look."

Holding his phone, he whispered.

This little guy has a knack for photography on this side. The angle he captured is fantastic, truly capturing Xiao Haoh's naivete and cuteness to perfection.

Lin Meng watched, smiling softly.

"Print this out," the little guy demanded.

Lin Meng hummed in response.

After the mother and son finished admiring the photos, Xiao Youyou gave her phone to Lin Meng. She stood up straight, lifted herself from the shelf and took a tissue box. Carefully, she twisted her waist and walked over to Xiao Haohuo, gently wiping the saliva from his mouth with the tissue.

Xiao Hao was still grinning in his sleep, laughing as he dreamt. His movements hadn't woken him up. It seemed that the intense training had tired him out. Of course, part of the reason he remained asleep was also because Xiao Youyou's cleaning motions were incredibly gentle.

Xiao Youyou finished wiping, threw the tissue into the small trash can, touched her lips with her finger, and softly whispered "Shh" to Lin Meng. She smiled and snuggled back into Lin Meng's arms, whispering softly.

"Wake him up when it's almost time."

What a caring brother!

Lin Meng gently tapped the little one's forehead and pulled him into her embrace, whispering softly to Ah Yi to change directions.

When it was almost time, little Haohao woke up. Hearing that they were going to eat ice cream, he got excited too. Hagen-Dazs store immediately welcomed three figures who looked like they walked out of a fashion magazine: a beautiful mother and two cool little boys.

The shop was still crowded, and it was almost quitting time. With the sweltering heat, there were no empty seats available for a while. The waiter, upon seeing the mother and her two children, immediately greeted them sweetly, asking them to wait a few minutes. He also enthusiastically handed them a menu, inviting them to take a seat and browse it in the meantime.

They were lucky. They hadn't sat down for two minutes when a customer left, creating an empty seat. Seeing the handsome young man, the motherly server immediately enthusiastically led the three of them upstairs. Along the way, there was a slight commotion, after all, the beautiful mom and handsome guy's charm was simply too powerful, captivating everyone's attention, making it hard to look away.

However, the mother and her two children were unfazed, as they were used to being in the spotlight. They naturally took their seats and looked through the menu, eyeing up the different ice cream flavors. They chatted softly, and after the enthusiastic introduction by the waiter, each of them chose a flavor and began to wait.

"Mommy, call Grandma and Daddy and tell them we're here."

There were mostly girls here for ice cream. There were a few tables, and there was some commotion. They didn't even bother eating their ice cream anymore, they just couldn't take their eyes off those two little guys. But the two handsome boys were too cool for them; they ignored everyone, just glanced at them for a second before quickly looking away. Then when they saw that beautiful mom finish her phone call, the two handsome boys suddenly both ran up to her and smiled. The girls all had an urge to scream!

That handsome guy is so cute when he smiles!

He electrocuted someone!

So tender, I just want to kiss it!

The girls were whispering excitedly, completely smitten by the two adorable boys. Some couldn't help but take out their phones and start calling friends, reporting that they had encountered two unbelievably cool and handsome guys. They urged their friends to come quickly, warning them that if they missed this opportunity, there would be no chance to see these gems again.

And this, is just the beginning.

Shortly after, there was a new stir. A tall and handsome man with a white shirt, black trousers, and a tie, estimated to be over six feet tall, approached with a face that accelerated your heartbeat. He was strikingly handsome.

Among the girls, some started swallowing nervously, their faces flushing. The cool and handsome guy surveyed the crowd with a condescending gaze, causing the restless females to tremble. Even several little girls accompanied by their parents couldn't help but stare intently at the handsome guy with wide eyes.

The cold noodle hunk seemed to have found his target, striding over with legs that would make any femme fatale's eyes light up. Every move he made oozed handsomeness and dominance; he was so cool, he could sweep the ratings of all major TV channels!

Then the handsome guy stopped, bent down, and suddenly kissed someone's forehead. So many people were jealous that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets, their hearts ached so much they couldn't help but clench their fists, or they started nervously tugging at the tablecloth.

Such a top-notch man, he was born to enchant women. Seeing him but being unable to have him, will you be able to sleep at night!

Who is that woman who has this handsome guy hanging on her!

A resentful gaze swept down from that forehead, well, now the jealous girls can be envious and bitter in their hearts, but they still have to admit defeat. That top-notch beauty of a mother had already made many people ashamed of themselves from the start. The two of them together are simply too perfect, making it hard to imagine anything that wouldn't fit!

A match made in heaven!

The cold noodles handsome guy sat beside the beautiful mommy and chatted with her.

Girls started whispering to each other, and their fingers flew across their phone keyboards as they texted.

Come here quickly, top-notch handsome guy, if you miss out, I guarantee you'll regret it for the rest of your life!

The dad of the cute guy I just mentioned showed up, OMG, he's a total heartbreaker, my sister is smitten and about to faint!

Oh my god, handsome guy, handsome guy, handsome guy!

The crowd was excited.

"What should I do, I really want to take a picture, I really want to, I really want to..." A girl muttered softly.

Her friend frowned. “It doesn’t seem right!”

“I want to take a picture too, with all of us here, it’s crazy! We should definitely have a photo to remember this. Sis will be going crazy back home if we don’t!” Friend B was also getting excited.

"Yeah, yeah, it seems like we should take a picture. I really want to take one!" friend C also joined the group.

"What should we do if we get caught It's not a good idea to take pictures without permission, right" Friend A is a rather honest person and isn't very bold.

"Let's just do it quietly. Take a picture, take a picture, you won't regret it for the rest of your life."

In a situation where one person hesitated while the other three all had this desire, finally, a girl made a slight wicked move. She flipped through her phone and with a light click, took a picture.

Just at that moment, the cold-faced handsome guy's gaze shot over like gamma rays, straight and piercing, as if he had discovered her actions. That gaze was extremely cold, carrying absolute chill. The girl slightly changed color, trembled, and hurriedly lowered her eyes. Her companions were also pressed into silence by the man's icy stare, all lowering their heads and silently starting to eat their ice cream. At the same time, they were all a little scared in their hearts. No one had expected that the cold-faced handsome guy's gaze would be so lethal. Somehow, even though they were four or five meters away from the handsome guy, they still felt fear, as if they would die in the next second.

The girl in the picture is the bravest person there, her hand clenching a fork but refusing to strike. Her other hand, hidden under the table, grips her fingers so tightly that they are starting to turn white. She won't let go, ostrich-like, waiting for the cold to pass.

Slightly, that feeling of being oppressed faded away at once. Four girls secretly glanced around with their peripheral vision and found that the handsome guy was no longer looking at them, but chatting with the woman beside him.

My God!

The four of them sighed in unison, then looked at each other, their friends, and let out a somewhat embarrassed breath.

"Wow, that's scary!" one person finally exclaimed, their voice hushed. The four girls huddled closer together, straining to hear each other speak.

"Oh, my gosh, that scared me!"

"I feel like I'm about to die!"

After a series of shaky breaths, she continued to pant.

"I admire that woman, she's amazing! She handled that man so naturally!"

Their faces were not flushed, nor were they out of breath. They conversed with ease and laughter. When observing them, even before anyone approached, they would begin to feel a heat throughout their bodies or become so awkward that they wouldn't dare to meet his gaze. In the end, they were filled with terror. What a disgrace!

"Yeah, yeah—" someone agreed, just about to say something when they felt a massive presence beside them. Then "knock, knock," the sound of something hitting the table rang out.

The girls all turned their heads to look, first seeing a large hand, a man's hand, with distinct knuckles that looked particularly strong. After swallowing nervously, the girls raised their heads slightly and saw a tall, cold-faced guy who was excitingly attractive. He wasn't handsome, but he was definitely cool and had an air of authority. The feeling reminded them of their drill instructors. But this man was obviously more stoic, more rugged, and more powerful than any instructor they had ever seen.

Besides, he was so serious that it made people a little afraid.

"Mobile phone!"

With a turn of his hand, he extended it towards the girl who had just taken his picture. His palm, spread wide, revealed rough skin scattered with calluses of varying sizes, yet it was this that conveyed the profound power held within this hand!

"You just took a photo of my boss's family without permission, and I need to delete that picture!" Ah-Yi said very seriously and stiffly, with no fluctuations in his tone. He looked even more serious than a soldier!

The girl immediately blushed, bit her lip, and then handed out her phone.

Ai Yi took the phone and began to flip through it.

The girl weakly explained, "Sorry, I... I just think they're too handsome, so..."

Ayi, however, remained impassive, her eyes glued to her phone. After flipping through the photos, she deleted them and then handed the phone back to the girl.

"No more pictures!"

Lowly gave a stern warning and walked away.

The girl's face was red as blood, her head bowed low. After a long pause, her companion sighed, "Cool..."

His eyes, unable to resist, kept flitting back to the family of handsome men and beautiful women. He began to speculate on the mysterious nature of this family in several different ways.

Even his subordinates are so cool, how cool must the boss be!

There, Lin Meng, who had been watching everything quietly, let out a low chuckle and said to Rong Ling,

I told you not to come, but you had to. Look, are you trying to tempt people into committing crimes

He raised an eyebrow, his voice laced with arrogance.

"Where do I want to go, needing to care about what others think! If I've done wrong, the punishment is there, or just go straight to the police station!"

"Mhm." Both of them nodded in agreement.

Lin Meng shook her head and smiled, scooped a small piece of butter, put it in her mouth, and ate it.

He saw, her delicate pink tongue gently wrap around the front of the cream, licking it. As the cream went into her mouth, she withdrew it. Then her rosy lips closed tightly behind it, pouting slightly, softly wriggling.

His pupils shrank. His lower abdomen felt a little warm! His gaze couldn't help but be glued to her small mouth.

As she ate, when the tip of her tongue rolled the white cream into her mouth, she realized it. She met his gaze, her eyelashes fluttered.

Hungry

Because his gaze was fixed on the ice cream. Also because, the shop was too busy, so the ice cream took a while to arrive. Rong Ling ordered her favorite flavor, but it still hadn't come. She thought maybe he had already finished eating.

Warmly smiled, she picked up a piece and sent it to his lips. He cooperated by opening his mouth and eating the cream.

She pushed the small plate towards him.

"Let's eat together!" Anyway, they both ordered the same thing, but it's not impossible that this man was too lazy to order and just followed her lead.

"No, you eat it!"

He wasn't interested in ice cream; his interest lay solely with the person before him, this little figure shaped like dough.

She offered him the cream again, but he closed his mouth and dodged it, seeming to refuse it completely. She gave up and ate it herself. However, she still felt his gaze fixed on her.

"What's wrong" she couldn't help but ask.

"No, I like watching you eat." He replied softly, his voice low and rich like a cello, with a slight rasp that was very pleasing to the ear, enough to make one's tailbone tingle. That lightly suggestive remark immediately made her ears turn crimson. They were rosy pink, almost translucent, very cute. He wanted to touch them, but in public, he restrained himself.

And she, unable to control herself, blushed like a sensitive plant. She lowered her head and ate quietly. After all, this was a public place, and there were two little kids sitting opposite her. She didn't know how to respond to this man. Because of restraint, and because she was a bit embarrassed, she could only lick the cream with the tip of her tongue each time, not daring to make a big movement.

But the man's gaze followed her every move. Her face gradually grew flushed. Several times, she turned her head to look at the man sitting beside her, but she found that his eyes were growing darker and darker, a look that made her feel strangely familiar.

My heart just started racing!

"Don't look at me like that." She couldn't help but lean in, biting his ear and whispering complaints. Because music was playing constantly in the store, the two little ones sitting opposite didn't hear what Mommy was saying to Daddy. They only saw their father's mouth curl up slightly, as if something pleased him.

"Mommy, what did you tell Daddy"

Little Youyou was curious. After asking all her questions, she stuck out her little tongue and scooped up the cream on the fork with her mouth, savoring it happily.

"He didn't say anything." Lin Meng concealed.

Then that means she doesn't want to say it.

Little Youyou didn't ask any further and continued to eat with her head down.

Lin Meng also started eating, but she still felt the man's gaze on her.

Ugh!

She was a little embarrassed, feeling that this man was definitely intentional. How mean of him! Was it so amusing to watch her blush

Frowning, she stuck out her tongue and licked the cream off the fork. She turned her head slightly, gave the man a quick glare, but then froze. A faint spark of fire danced in his eyes, that familiar scorching sensation making her throat involuntarily dry. And then, all of a sudden, the image of Xiaoyou sticking her tongue out to lick the cream flashed through her mind.

The tender, pink tip of the tongue, the white cream—

Whoosh whoosh whoosh —

Her face flushed.

Because of certain impure images, they immediately sprang to her mind!

This man, he wouldn't be this lewd, right!

No way... No way...

Of course not!

She's not unfamiliar with this man's aloofness. But what is this place, and why is he acting so erratically

She hastily put down her fork, her hand trembling uncontrollably. The cream she had just eaten still tasted sweet, but somehow different. All she could feel was heat rising in her cheeks, a burning sensation that spread through her face.

And he, was still looking at her. A burning gaze, enveloping her, the focus, however, was on her lips. They had been so intimate, there were things she couldn't pretend not to understand.

My lips, they're a little bit burnt.

She couldn't help but stick out her tongue, moistening her own lips. Then she saw that the man's pupils constricted like a snake's.

It's all over!

This man looks like he wants to eat her!

But he didn't look carefully to see what this place was!

After a moment's thought, she quickly pulled out her phone and typed a message with lightning speed. She sent it off and then gave him a warning glare.

His phone buzzed immediately. He picked it up, glanced at it, and a wicked smile curved his lips.

Don't look at me! Don't think about anything else! Just look at the boys and wait for your ice cream to come, it'll be here soon!
