de his ear. "Sleep."Soothing sounds only made his eyelids flutter before returning to stillness, falling asleep within the gentle rhythm of silence.Only after Rong Ling and Xiao Haohao fell asleep did...After she went into the bathroom, Xiao Youyou quietly crept up to his ear and mumbled something. He felt sorry for her. He left, and she couldn't eat or sleep well, so she had tortured herself into this state. Look at her, even thinner than him, a man stranded on an island!
She needs to make up for it!
He was thinking about the feel of her in his arms last night, and also about this morning when he touched her before she woke up. She was so thin; her bones stuck out like needles. All that soft flesh was gone! It seemed like he had to go home soon, take care of her. Once he got home, he could nurse her back to health.
"What's going on!" She came out of the bathroom with a smile, holding a basin in her hands and looking at the father and son.
Xiaoyou winked mischievously, said "secret," and jumped off the bed, heading for the bathroom. Linmeng shook her head, came to Rongling's side, and asked, "What did Youyou just say to you Look at his little expression!"
As she was speaking, she wrung out the towel and naturally wiped his face. When she pulled it away, he beckoned her closer with his finger. She leaned in, and he told her, “My son told me to take good care of his mother!”
Lin Meng's heart felt sweet, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her brow.
Good boy!
I am mommy's good son!
"Did you agree" she asked with a playful expression.
He nodded.
She giggled mischievously. "Well, you better keep your word! I'll be watching you!"
He raised his hand, palms together, fingertips lightly grazing the base of his temple as if accepting a mission.
Welcome the supervision of the leaders!
She laughed uncontrollably.
She hadn't smiled like that in a long time. That genuine smile made Rong Mama and the others who had just knocked and entered pause in surprise. Rong Mama's eyes welled up slightly, then immediately broke into a smile. This daughter-in-law, these past few months, truly had been through a lot. She cared for her son more than even his own mother did. Rong Ling was gone, she could still hold on and live, but Lin Meng... wouldn't be able to survive for much longer.
This daughter-in-law is alright, fortunately she didn't do anything too outrageous at the beginning!
In short, the more Mom saw Lin Meng, the more she liked her. She felt like she had another daughter. She estimated that in her heart, Lin Meng's position was higher than any other.
“Rong Ling, I haven't heard Meng Meng laugh like that in ages!” Rong’s mother walked closer and admonished Rong Ling. “During the time you disappeared, she worried about you constantly, not even smiling. Now that you’re back, Meng Meng can smile again. Let me tell you, from now on, you have to be nice to Meng Meng. She's such a good girl. If you don't treat her well, you'll face the wrath of heaven!”
"Mom!" Lin Meng chided.
"Mother chuckled softly. 'See, see, that's all I said and you refused! Little one, Mother does this all for you!'
"
Lin Meng immediately sweetly took over the conversation. "Mom knows you're doing this for me, don't worry, Rong Ling will definitely be good to me!"
"Mom just shook her head disapprovingly. 'Hearing this, it sounds like you've fallen for a boy outside the family! Your heart has flown into the arms of that outsider!' "
"Mom—" Lin Meng was amused!
"He's my son! Where did this wild boy come from The way she talks, it's like she's the daughter and Rong Ling is the one trying to marry her!"
Rong Ling didn't say a word in defense, just going along with the bickering between his wife and mother-in-law. He loved to see his little sweetheart laugh like that, easily, happily.
Mom sat down directly by the bed, grabbed Rong Ling's hand, touched it gently, and asked in detail. Rong Ling's several brothers also sat down on one side and asked about the situation. Basically, they all asked about his strange encounter this time.
Lin Meng led the two youngsters back into the restroom. The two little ones practically couldn't wait to take care of their personal hygiene and then rushed out as soon as they were done. They were eager to hear the adventure story. When Lin Meng came out, he saw the two youngsters with wide eyes that could scare anyone to death, looking at Rong Ling with admiration. Rong Ling’s brothers, listening in, would occasionally let out an impressed sigh or a wistful one.
But all in all, Rong Ling was already lucky. Under those circumstances, a person who fell into the sea could be swept away by undercurrents to any unknown place. While there was a certain danger of being swallowed by a whale, it was also very fortunate. Later, life on the deserted island depended entirely on Rong Ling's perseverance and skills. If he didn't have so much knowledge or wasn't so capable, he would probably have starved to death long ago.
To sum it up, fate plays a crucial role, but one's own capabilities are equally important!
Rong Ling gently looked at Lin Meng, pulling her into his arms and hugging her.
This is my lucky goddess!
The bulletproof vest was a one-time thing, later the giant whale, and then getting through the fever. Who knows if it's because her luck is there to protect her!
All in all, it was because of her that he was able to return.
Lin Meng's face turned slightly red.
Others wholeheartedly agreed, nodding in unison. Even Xiao Quing, who was usually taciturn and aloof, unexpectedly spoke up with enthusiasm, showering praise upon...
"That's not true, I think Mengmeng is really lucky. Ahzhen followed her and played the stock market even better than me. I just feel envious!"
"Mengmeng, you're amazing! That was incredible!" Yao Feiqian said with a thumbs-up and a grin. "You know what Mengmeng, why don't you start your own studio I'll follow you and work for you!"
"You're such a fool!" Shiyu scoffed. "I bet you'll just be living off others, eating and drinking for free. Are you here to support Mengmeng's dreams, or is she here to support yours! Don't get any ideas!"
Yao Feiqian just chuckled, looking like he'd been seen through!
"Big brother has to watch Mengmeng more closely!" Xiaoxiao declared boldly again.
Everyone else immediately fell silent.
Xiao Qiang coldly stated, with an air of composure, "Now, there are many outside drooling over Mengmeng. Big Brother's going to have to put in some effort, I reckon. You know how it is, people will always try to get what they want.
"Ah, Qian!" Lin Meng awkwardly called out.
The owl continued calmly and deeply, "I'm serious!"
Lin Meng felt embarrassed, and at the same time, she could feel the arm around her waist tighten all of a sudden!
"Thanks!" Rong Ling actually said that to Xiao Qiang.
The owl nodded curtly and seemed to accept Rong Ling's thanks with a nonchalant air.
This made Lin Meng even more unsure of what to do. Fortunately, the long-awaited breakfast was finally served. A large group of people gathered in several circles and started eating, which immediately made the matter go away. However, this was what Lin Meng thought had passed. On Rong Ling's side, however, he kept this matter in mind! And then, he would find a way to solve it!
After finishing breakfast, Rong Fei Wu, Rong Qi and others suggested to report to Rong Ling about the current situation of Yadong. Rong Ling is the president of Yadong. Since he has returned, he should be informed about the current situation. They also wanted to see if he had any further instructions or supplements.
Shi Yu and a few others left first. This matter concerned Ai Dong's secrets, it wasn't appropriate for them to listen in. As for Shuang Mu's situation, they should also mention it to Rong Ling, but Shuang Mu had several of his brothers watching over him, nothing would happen, so there was no need to report it urgently.
The door to the ward remained shut for the entire morning. During that time, Rong Qi's account, coupled with Lin Meng's occasional explanations, allowed Rong Ling to grasp the current situation. Essentially, apart from the accelerated timeline for this delisting plan, everything else aligned with Rong Ling's expectations. Even the involvement of Old Master Yu and Old Master Jiang was anticipated. One was his brother-in-law's grandfather, and the other his godson's grandfather. These two elders, initially uninvolved due to their positions, were bound to intervene as things progressed. The appearance of that veteran leader, however, came as a complete surprise. It seemed that Rong Ling's disappearance, coupled with Lin Meng single-handedly shouldering both the family and Asia-East's burdens, profoundly moved the two elders. That leader's involvement was undoubtedly the result of their joint efforts. Otherwise, with his usual indifference, the veteran leader would not have bothered with Asia-East's affairs unless it reached a critical point demanding his intervention! The two young ones also did well. From their final words, they seemed to have gained the veteran leader's favor, hence being specially invited onto the vehicle.
It seems the situation is very favorable for Asia Dong! And what a coincidence, Rong Chi Keng died. Then, San Bo it's time to come out!
"So, you all should not stay here. Go back and continue managing affairs in the East Asian region. I'll be going back after tonight!"
Lin Meng immediately disagreed. "No way, you can't be discharged that quickly. You have to stay in the hospital for a while!"
"I'm fine!"
"No!" she said, her lips pressed together in a resolute line.
He could only compromise. "Well, then I'll stay here for two days to see how it goes. If the doctor thinks I still need to be hospitalized, then after I return to city B, I'll continue my treatment there. If the doctor doesn't think it's necessary, then I'll just recuperate at home, okay"
Lin Meng frowned, hesitating.
Rong Ling immediately said, "Meng Meng, after being away for so long, I miss home a little!"
His tone was a little sigh.
As soon as these words were spoken, they carried a weighty meaning. Lin Meng's most tender spot was touched. A flash of grief crossed her small face, and she immediately nodded.
"Well, I'll go with your plan. When the doctor says it's okay, we can go home!"
Go home!
Go home!
These two characters, they are truly pleasing to the ear!
Of course, Rong Fei and the others understood what Rong Ling meant. It was that they should go back, and don't expect Lin Meng to follow them. She now has her whole heart on Rong Ling; asking her to go back is simply impossible and too cruel. Luckily, technology is advanced now, and luckily, the affairs of Yadong are basically nearing completion. So, with Rong Ling and Lin Meng remotely controlling things would be enough.
Fei Wu actually didn't want to leave, he was reluctant. This son had come back after nine deaths, and as his father, he was just going to abandon him like this He couldn't bring himself to do it. But the big and small matters of the group weren't something that Rong Qi alone could handle. With Lin Meng planning to stay, he had to leave.
He looked at Rong Ling with hesitation, but instead of saying he wanted to stay too, he placed his large hand on Rong Ling's shoulder and patted it twice, gently but firmly.
Take good care of yourself, Dad's going back first. Don't worry about Yatung's affairs!
Rong Ling didn't respond, just nodded.
Feng Fei's heart sank. He felt that Rong Ling didn't speak because he didn't want to call him "Father". But there was nothing he could do about Rong Ling. Some things, once done wrong, were difficult to make up for. So, he could only suppress this sour tenderness and arm himself with hardness.
He is Rong Fei Wu, the former master of this house. At critical moments, romantic feelings are something that needs to be let go of, and in this regard, he can still do it!
Rong Fei and the others rushed back to city B like that, not even having time for lunch!
Rong Ling over here was focused on Lin Meng while she ate. Seeing that she was eating less and barely touching the meat, he acted like a stern elder, criticizing her for being picky and putting vegetables into her bowl, one by one with his chopsticks. Lin Meng frowned and mumbled that she didn't feel like eating, but he would reprimand her without hesitation.
"You've gotten so thin and picky now. Do you want to be blown away by the wind, or do you want people gossiping behind your back that I mistreat you and don't even feed you!"
"How could this be!" she wrinkled her nose, muttering softly. "I just don't feel like eating, but alright, I'll eat a little, just a little!"
She's developed this taste recently. It all started with the heat, which naturally made her lose her appetite for meaty dishes. With a sickness in her heart, she had even less of an appetite for meals, forcing herself to eat every time. So she chose easy-to-digest, light and vegetarian dishes. To be honest, she barely touches anything else these days. Now suddenly asking her to eat this… She instinctively rejects it!
With such a strict disciplinarian around, she wouldn't even want to eat if she could. He was hoping to fatten her up as soon as possible! Now, with just bones left, it felt like holding onto a bunch of sharp sticks. Not only was it uncomfortable, but it also pierced his heart deeply.
"Eat!"
He wouldn't press her too hard. Since she had already offered to eat, he would just focus on watching her eat and count how much she could manage! For lunch that day, he deliberately chose not to eat with his brothers, instead opting for a family meal with just the four of them: him, her, and their two children. This was all part of a plan to subtly and firmly pressure her into eating more. Of course, using these tactics in front of his brothers wouldn't be possible; it would only embarrass Lin Meng. And he certainly wouldn't allow that to happen!
Lin Meng, upon hearing this, thought he had agreed and diligently ate everything he had brought over. However, when she saw that his chopsticks kept moving, even picking up oily dishes, her face turned pale, and she begged for forgiveness again.
"Rongling, that's enough. I really don't want to eat anymore!"
She looked at him pitifully, she was just about to wag her tail and beg for mercy!
He was cold, harsh, and unmoved. He continued to criticize her.
"You haven't eaten enough, this amount isn't enough at all, eat some more!"
Two little kids sitting on the side, giggling and laughing, but it wasn't because they were excited by the commotion. It was a lighthearted, contented kind of laugh. Xiao Youyou chatted animatedly with Rong Ling early in the morning, reporting to her mother about a few things, including this meal.
Mommy doesn't eat well, so Daddy has to supervise her carefully!
Now that Lin Meng was being pressed to the ground by Rong Ling, and had eaten quite a bit of oily food, the two young ones were truly delighted!
Seeing this, Lin Meng could only continue to eat diligently. After eating several more chopsticks full of food like this, she felt full and couldn't eat anymore.
I've been eating less lately, my stomach is gradually getting smaller!
"I can't eat anymore." She slightly pushed the bowl away. "Please don't give me any more, I really can't eat any more!"
"How can you eat so little!" Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, his voice displeased, looking rather stern.
Lin Meng immediately put down her chopsticks, feeling wronged, and started acting coquettishly.
"You're making me sick! Everyone is already full, but you keep insisting on making us eat more and more. I can't take it anymore!"
He nervously put down his chopsticks too.
"Where does it hurt I'll call a doctor!"
She immediately felt embarrassed. "It...it's not that painful!"
His eyes darted away, evading his gaze.
He was so brilliant, of course he had anticipated this outcome. However, he certainly wouldn't expose her.
"Let me rub your shoulders for you!"
Saying that, he forcefully pulled her into his embrace.
"Hey, don't..."
But she couldn't escape him!
His large hand immediately reached for her small belly and began to gently rub it.
"Is this better" he asked, his hot breath on her ear.
A husky voice, pleasing and alluring, tugged gently at her heartstrings. Her ears, in a display of utter shamelessness, turned a delicate pink before she uttered a soft "hmm" in response. He rubbed his hands together for a moment, then spoke with a natural air.
"Now you should be feeling a bit better, you should be able to eat a little more. You're eating way too little, it's not even comparable to before, I watched and my heart ached. Xiaoguai, this stomach can be stretched out, but it can also shrink from hunger. You eat so little, your stomach will only get smaller and smaller. In the long run, something bad will happen, so, be good, eat a little more, stretch your stomach back out, okay! Eat more, meat is good for recovering too, that way when you're held, it'll feel more comfortable. Be good, eat more!"
She listened to him, her heart aching. He said that something was going to happen and that she'd only be comfortable if he held her, so she hesitated and nodded slightly, intending to sit back down and continue eating. But he refused to let go of her, and just like that, he started feeding her. He didn't eat himself, but instead watched her with an earnest expression that was laced with a tenderness that defied description. As she looked at him, her heart melted completely, and in a daze, she allowed him to coax her into eating bite after bite. She ate quite a bit until, finally, she felt truly full, unable to eat any more without discomfort.
Only then did he let her go, kissing her lips as a reward.
"Good girl..."
She just felt that he was totally babying her!
"Then you should eat more too!" He wasn't just urging her to eat, he was so thin himself.
"I'm much better than you!"
He smiled faintly, indulgently tousled her hair, and then picked up his chopsticks, devouring the food with big bites!
She felt a little embarrassed by what he said, but she also started to compete with him by serving him dishes!
