ad returned with her mother-in-law, Du Caiyi, but before entering the house, she was stopped by her mother-in-law and told to return to her own room and stay there, not to come out. A caring person th...Thinking about it, Lin Meng smiled, her two hands like alluring vines entwining Rong Ling's neck. As she met his surprise, she chuckled to herself, her fragrant lips nearing his ear, exhaling like orchid fragrance.

"Rong Ling!"

With a soft voice, almost making one's bones melt. Rong Ling looked at her with strange eyes, noticing the slight pink tinge on her ear tips. He found it amusing. This silly little woman, was she going to use her beauty to get what she wanted He must be of some use to her then!

Indeed, she opened her mouth coyly and alluringly.

"Róng Líng, that Hé Yǎ, you in the future... don't associate with her anymore, okay!"

He looked at her deeply. She hugged him tighter, her delicate lips almost touching his, and her eyes gazed at him expectantly.

"I don't like her, so don't associate with her anymore!" she said, acting cute and throwing a little tantrum.

He still looked at her with that deep, piercing gaze, as if she were plotting something. She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and blurted out, "Okay, I admit it, I'm jealous, I envy her. Don't associate with her anymore, she's just after you, I don't like seeing her with you!"

He reached out and touched her face, his movement gentle. But the words that came out of his mouth were anything but kind.

"No, that's my friend!"

But you, my friend, have really upset me!

Then you can just pretend she doesn't exist!

"This is impossible!"

"Mumu, don't be so willful. I have the right to make friends, and I can't just stop talking to people because you dislike them!"

But she was different!

He paused.

She bit her lip, rushed over and kissed him on the lips, then continued loudly, "She's different!"

"Same!" He gazed deeply into her eyes, his long fingers slowly smoothing the tension from her clenched lips.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow and anger. Lowering her head, she accused him weakly, "It's different, it's just different. You...are making me heartbroken!"

A strange feeling washed over him as he looked at her face, so small it could fit in his palm. He felt a twinge of sympathy, but there was no way he could afford to show weakness in front of this woman!

"Mengmeng, as I said, I need a girlfriend who's visible to the public, and you, you're not suitable!"

Thus, all negotiations return to the starting point!

She looked at this cold and hard man, like a stone. In the end, she was still disappointed. She slowly withdrew her hand that had been so intimately wrapped around his neck. This detachment, it was her attitude!

Never mind.

She was too lazy even to open her mouth; she only whispered a word in her heart.

He grabbed her hand tightly, pulling her close and not letting her pull away.

"Mumu!" He suddenly kissed her lightly on the lips, as intimately as an old married couple. "I give you my promise, still within half a year. As long as you're no longer Mrs. Ruan, I won't associate with He Ya anymore!"

She needs a little sweetness to make her speed up and get rid of that messy marriage, right That's the good calculation Rong Ling has in mind, a win-win!

Lin Meng narrowed her eyes and began to think carefully about the meaning of his words. After a long silence, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted into a cheerful smile.

This man, being in a position of power, naturally values his word. Since he said it, it will surely come to pass one day. He said he would no longer associate with He Ya, and that must be true as well. There is still a time limit to this, and it doesn't quite match He Ya's expectations, so there's not much to be particularly happy about. But Lin Meng heard the subtext in his words: Rong Ling and He Ya have a relationship that can be severed cleanly.

What does this mean!

"Hee hee..." Lin Meng couldn't help but giggle. This showed that He Ya wasn't really that big of a deal! Perhaps, she had overthought things after all!

"That's what you said!" Lin Meng laughed, hugging Rong Ling intimately again, gently rubbing her delicate cheek against his face, acting coquettishly.

"Now you're satisfied, aren't you" Rong Ling teased, looking at her joyful expression. He actually felt a soft and warm feeling in his heart, and there was even a surge of wanting to laugh!

She hummed in response, but then said, "Basically, I'm satisfied!"

"You're taking advantage of the situation!" he scolded. "Don't push your luck!"

She ignored him, giggling. Her sweet laughter gradually made his temper vanish.

He felt like she was going to drown him!

But I just can't push her away!

This boneless little goblin, leaning against him, was being clung to by her. He couldn't bring himself to push her away!

Two people went to pick up Xiao Youyou, met Mr. Yan again, and finally led the very excited little fellow out. The little fellow was praised today, so he walked a little bit proudly. Mr. Yan was afraid that the little fellow would have gone crazy these days, so he specially took a day off during the Spring Festival to let the little fellow come to practice martial arts. Naturally, the main event was to check if the little fellow had fallen behind on his homework. The final result, of course, satisfied Mr. Yan. He didn't even think about it, his father was Rong Ling, could he let his son fall behind Before that, it was Yi who was staring at the little fellow, these days Rong Ling took charge himself, the little fellow naturally couldn't get through.

Because it was Chinese New Year, Mr. Yan's house was also full of guests. Relatives and friends gathered together, the cute and generous little Youyou was immediately liked by many people, and then received a lot of gifts.

The little fellow was chattering excitedly about his day, his mouth moving non-stop. When the car reached halfway, the little guy patted his forehead and gleefully took out a beautifully wrapped chocolate from his bag.

"This is chocolate brought back from Germany by an aunt. There are only six boxes in total, and she gave me just one box. Many of the children at Master's place didn't even get one!"

The little guy was beaming with pride, a smug look on his face that Lin Meng couldn't help but smile at. It always makes one happy when their child is liked by others.

Round chocolates, one by one, are inlaid in a transparent, black velvet-lined heart-shaped box, looking very high-end.

"Here you go, Mommy!"

The little boy clumsily tore open the wrapping paper, opened the lid, and pulled out a chocolate ball. He tore open its wrapper and beamed, sending it into Lin Meng's mouth. Lin Meng smiled, opened her mouth, and took a bite.

The little one gazed at Lin Meng with pure, black eyes and a sweet smile. "Mommy, is it delicious!"

"It's delicious!" Lin Meng puffed out her cheeks and nodded vigorously.

The little fellow burst into giggles like a hen, and immediately reached out with his hand, pulling out another chocolate ball. He unwrapped it and extended his little arm towards Rongling.

"This is for Uncle!"

Rong Ling kept his attention divided, listening to the mother and son chattering away. He felt a unique sense of relaxation he couldn't quite explain. Perhaps it was because these two were the closest people to him. Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw the little boy feeding Lin Meng chocolate. For some reason, his eyes stung with emotion. Seeing the boy like this brought a strange sense of peace to his heart. However, he couldn't help but warn them, "Be careful, don't drop it!"

He's driving!

Lin Meng heard this and immediately pressed the little guy down, "Yoyo, let Mommy come!"

The little guy's arms were too short, he probably couldn't reach Rong Ling. Taking the chocolate ball handed over by the little guy, Lin Meng leaned slightly forward, her fair fingers holding the chocolate ball and bringing it to Rong Ling's lips. It was only because of the angle between the front and back seats that when Rong Ling finally swallowed the chocolate, Lin Meng's fingertips were also swallowed in.

The touch that lingered on her lips, scorching hot, made her heart beat a little faster. She blushed suddenly, her cheeks flaming red, and immediately withdrew her hand.

The little guy didn't notice this scene. He innocently asked Rong Ling, "Is it delicious!"

Rong Ling looked at Lin Meng through the rearview mirror, a deep meaning in his eyes. He smirked wickedly. “Delicious!”

But it seemed to hint at something!

Lin Meng's face turned even redder. There was a kind of ambiguity that began to flow between the two adults, only the little ones were oblivious, squinting their eyes and stuffing another berry into their mouths.

"Mmm…" The little one closed their eyes contentedly, their big eyes crinkling at the corners as they smiled like a little fox. "So delicious!"

This finally broke the allure between the adults, both adults were amused by his little appearance and laughed individually!

The little guy finished one, yet he didn't eat another! Lin Meng found it strange, because it was clear that the little guy loved chocolate.

"Youyou, why aren't you eating!"

The little boy closed the lid and pointed to each chocolate ball with his finger, saying seriously: “Hmm, this one is for Uncle Two, this one for Uncle Three, and one for Aunt Three. This one for Uncle Four…”

He went through each one, even mentioning all of Rong Ling's brothers, not leaving a single one out! What truly amazing insight he had!

"A total of ten, I've already counted them all!"

The little boy looked at Lin Meng with glee and said innocently, “It's like a New Year's gift, hehehe…”

The little boy was actually able to endure his hunger and think of others. Lin Meng was immediately touched and overwhelmed, hugging the little boy with a face full of relief. Even Rong Ling was moved. When they arrived at Su Wu's house, seeing the little boy holding back his saliva, he carefully placed the box of chocolates on his bedside table as if this could resist the temptation to eat. Rong Ling immediately took out his phone and unceremoniously made a list, telling his brothers that they absolutely had to come over tonight!

"What's going on!" Yu Xu asked nonchalantly, his hands busy with his gaming character who was locked in a fierce battle. He wasn't about to move for a while!

"My son endured not eating, he left a chocolate for you. You are broken leg or not, crawl over here!"

This is a serious statement!

Yu Xu was surprised and thought to himself, "What kind of chocolate is this!"

He immediately reflexively replied "good," then quickly stood up, pushed back his chair and rushed to get his clothes. On the screen, that dazzlingly brilliant top-tier game character was hacked all over with blood, but he didn't care!

Other brothers were also more or less threatened by Rong Ling's bullying. Rong Ling, in his heart, was somewhat smugly pleased—he thought his son was really quite good, and there was a tinge of jealousy—he felt that he and these brothers had been treated equally by his son. In short, his mood was very complex.

Several big men looked at the tiny chocolate ball, their faces couldn't help but draw a black line. This was what the Big Brother summoned them in such a hurry for! They looked left and right, up and down, wasn't it just chocolate!

However, though it was small, it couldn't hide its immense power. Rong Ling described things in this way, and the tiny chocolate ball immediately appeared extraordinary in everyone's eyes!

This is a little fellow's gesture of kindness to his uncles! Look, he only gave food to his father, mother, and several uncles. Who else could be so honored! Little kids are the most gluttonous; it's really hard to get any food out of their mouths!

No problem, everyone enjoyed the tiny chocolate ball immensely, and coincidentally, several brothers wrote down the brand name of the chocolate, planning to ship a batch from Germany as soon as possible! An apple for an apple, a peach for a peach. As an uncle, I can't be too stingy with my nephew!

After that, under the operation of Rong Ling and several uncles, the little guy received nearly a truckload of this brand of chocolate. This is natural for later!

"Little Six isn't here, what should we do with the last one!" Yu Xu licked his sweet lips and stared hungrily at the remaining candied fruit. If he ate another one, wouldn't it make him look much more impressive

"Why don't I just help her out!" Yu Xu suggested with feigned kindness, only to be kicked by Rong Ling immediately!

"My son gave away these things, you dare to take them!" Rong Ling snorted coldly, and directly covered it with a lid.

"Yes, yes!" Yao Feiqian chuckled wickedly over there. "Be careful, Little Six might shoot you dead!"

Yu Xu also thought of Xiao Liu's violence and immediately retracted his greedy gaze, asking: "What about this one!"

“Airlift her over!” Rong Ling said lightly, as if this decision was as easy as tossing a feather. But Xiao Liu was in Vietnam, not somewhere that could be reached by simply airlifting her over. Flying over the Vietnamese border, then through the tropical rainforest, and all the while having to watch out for attacks from ground troops – even if she were airdropped, she'd have to be wary of artillery bombardment from hostile forces. This tiny chocolate ball was almost as valuable as a shipment of weapons!

But, who would say no to a gift from the only nephew I bet little Liu would be thrilled to receive this present!

Several men looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh! This was truly a generous gesture! It turned out that their eldest brother, when he was being reserved, was just as impressive as anyone else!

"Hey, where's my little Aoyu" Yu Xu looked for the little boy. This eater of people, he definitely needs to be repaid properly!

"He's in the study, his mommy is watching him study!" Rong Ling replied.

"Come out, come out! What are you learning All the uncles have come to see you, he can't hide!" Yu Xu shouted.

Then you go and call him!

Yu Xu immediately smiled, lifted his long legs, and went to find the little boy.

The brothers all sat down one after another, looking at Rong Ling's eyes with a hint of envy. Such a good son, who wouldn't want him! All the unmarried men here felt a surge to find a woman to marry and have a child right now! However, soon, everyone managed to suppress this impulse with their self-control.

“Let’s have a dinner at my place tonight!” Xiao said. “The Spring Festival is almost over, and we all have some free time now that everyone can make it. Let's get together for a casual gathering without inviting anyone else!”

A few people only thought about it for a moment before agreeing! This was their brothers' annual get-together, a special occasion they should celebrate. They didn't expect anything in return, just to enjoy this brotherhood stronger than any other bond.

"Are you really going to cook" Rong Ling asked abruptly.

The hawk's cold face softened, and he smiled, nodding slightly. When it came to his wife, this man was hard to make cold!

“Let Mengmeng go over and help! With more people, Ah Zhen will feel a lot lighter.” Rong Ling wasn’t making a request; he was simply greeting her. “Tomorrow morning, I’ll have Mengmeng take Youyou over. It would also be helpful for Ah Zhen to buy some groceries or something. The two of them, plus a child, can keep each other company!”

The falcon only paused for a moment before swiftly replying, "Of course! I would be delighted!"

At the same time, several brothers, including Xiao Qiang, all know that Lin Meng has already been reduced to "a concubine" by Rong Ling!

Little Youyou was brought over by Yu Xu, while Lin Meng followed behind. Rong Ling and Lin Meng had mentioned this matter, and Lin Meng didn't think much of it, immediately agreeing. When she actually came, Lin Meng asked about Ah Zhen's situation, only to find out that Ah Zhen had gone shopping today and had walked quite a lot, getting a bit tired. With the cold weather outside, her old leg injury from surgery couldn't withstand this kind of exertion, so she was persuaded by Xiao Xiang to stay home.

"Ah, Kian is really good to his wife!" Lin Meng said with a chuckle as she carried Kian behind her back.

Rong Ling simply replied, "It's my duty!"

Lin Meng tilted her head, her beautiful water eyes looking at Rong Ling curiously. She couldn't understand what this "should" meant—was it that a husband should love his wife, or was there another reason

"I'll tell you about it in bed later!" He seemed to be avoiding the question.

"Huh!" she blinked, more confused than ever. It wasn't until her gaze met his slightly heated eyes that she finally came to.

This man!

She blushed and immediately turned her head away, hurrying off to find her son!

Over there, the little guy was surrounded by several handsome uncles, like a little prince. The uncles generously said they would give red envelopes, which were the first lucky money they gave their nephew! Although it was a bit late, it wasn't too late! The amount was small, and they couldn't even take out cash. They usually swiped their cards for shopping, so everyone took out their checkbooks and planned to directly sign a check for the little guy.

Being rich and generous doesn't have to be so obvious!

Lin Meng burst into laughter! She wanted to stop it, but after a moment's thought, she didn't really do so. From childhood to adulthood, the red envelopes she had received were pitifully few. Although she had some relatives, most of them had estrangement from her, after all, she was not the legitimate daughter of the Lin family. She didn't know much about the etiquette of red envelopes. Fearing that she would make a blunder, she turned and went to look for Rong Ling. This kind of worldly affairs, this man definitely understood more than her.

"It's fine, just accept it. It's their heart," Rong Ling replied casually. "When they have children in the future, we'll do the same!"

Lin Meng smacked her lips.

But—

"The future!"

This word made her feel inexplicably sweet! it so clearly, Tong Kai-keng must surely be aware of it!A slight ripple of emotion stirred within him. Could it be, according to He Kuan's words, that He Ya was still interested in him because this...
