leave B city, go back home. But her parents are really love this daughter, no matter how much this daughter performance displeasing them these parents, the old couple did not leave, always in B city..."I know." Rong Ling frowned in response, his slightly lowered eyebrows seemed to carry a touch of worry as well.

"Yu Xu added, "I just hope we don't suffer too much attack this time. As long as we can get through this current hurdle, things will be fine afterward."

The owl king let out a cold snort from the side, his expression emotionless.

"This is practically like manna from heaven; no one would resist taking a big bite. Let's keep our guard up and be ready to fight!"

"Old Three's right!" Rong Ling narrowed his cold and sharp eyes, nodding slightly.

"Mumu, why don't you just stay with us these days" Shi Yu spoke, his eyes flickering behind the transparent lenses. "Things have gotten pretty chaotic outside, we need to be careful of Rong Jia people trying to poison us."

Lin Meng was startled. The next second, she was forcefully pulled into Rong Ling's arms and held tightly.

Shi Yu continued, "Third Uncle is like a big tree for the Rong family, always providing shelter and protection. Now that this tree is about to fall, the Rong family members will definitely go crazy. At that time, they will definitely cause trouble for Mengmeng. Rong Ling, you were once the head of the Rong family, so you know some things about them. I've heard rumors that some of the Rong family's offspring are particularly ruthless and can do anything if provoked. Therefore, Mengmeng's safety is something we absolutely cannot ignore!"

"This isn't a life fit for Mengmeng, is it" Yu Xu grumbled unhappily. "Let them be arrogant for now, this young master will surely make them pay!"

Turning back, Yu Xu's face was serious as he stared intently at Lin Meng. "Mengmeng, these days you should also pay attention to yourself and try not to go out. Staying home is probably the safest."

Then he leaned over to Rong Ling and said, "Big brother, you stay home with Mengmeng as much as possible. We brothers will handle things outside first. If it really gets out of hand, then you can step in!"

"I think so too," Rong Ling replied. "For matters outside, I'll have to trouble the few of you in the coming days!"

My brothers, there's nothing to say, naturally I readily agreed.

Lin Meng listened to their conversation, her heart feeling unusually heavy. Originally, she had been watching with hope as her relationship with the Jiang family grew stronger. But suddenly, their relationship had become worse than it was at the beginning, even seeming like they were enemies!

This is the second time!

The Jiang family put her in danger!

Is this their final decision! For real, are they not considering anything else!

Especially Brother Jiang, was everything he did for her and Youyou all fake! And Sister-in-law Jiang, she loved Youyou so much, was she going to hurt her too!

Are you trying to collect a debt!

My heart is so cold and painful!

She thought of Xiaolang, he was so sunny, so warm, like a fire. Her heart felt hot and she seemed to have a little warmth inside her. She huddled around it for warmth, but couldn't help shivering.

One side is cold, the other is hot. The Jiang family, what should she do with them!

In silence, she watched the man do as he said. As long as the Jiang family didn't go too far, he would endure him, let him be, avoid him, give way to him, respect him, or simply ignore him!

For this series of actions by the Jiang family, if it were anyone else, men would fiercely attack like wolves, biting the other party until they were bruised and covered in wounds before letting go. But for her, he chose to do nothing, just endure all of this!

This is quite bullying!

She kept looking back at Rong Ling, who had been following her!

Overwhelmed with emotion, she reached out, her fingers spread wide, to clasp his palm. As he willingly opened his hand, she immediately slipped her fingers into his and held him tightly.

This is her husband!

She respected him, was grateful for him, and loved him even more. Because everything he did was for her!

She also felt guilty, feeling sorry for her man. She felt that because of her, this man had suffered so much grievance, but she couldn't say anything, she couldn't express anything.

The Jiang family and the man are two trays on a balance scale, neither of which she can allow to sink.

She could only hold onto him, tighter and tighter!

But, she was sorry for him!

So Jiang Chengfeng called again, asking her to go out and talk. She refused. She was no longer a girl of seventeen or eighteen, she couldn't just do whatever she wanted. Running around like this would only burden her man. What happened with the Silver Wolf Group back then, and A Lang's tragedy, absolutely couldn't be repeated. She couldn't drag another person in and feel guilty again.

"Why!" Jiang Chengfeng was unprecedentedly heartbroken, almost to the point of agony. "What's wrong with you I feel like you've changed, so much that I almost don't recognize you anymore!"

She couldn't answer.

He still blamed it all on Rong Ling. That man was cunning, he must have done something to Lin Meng. This woman had a sharp side, but most of the time, she was naive and gullible, easily led astray by people she trusted. That's why he wanted to meet her face-to-face. Over the phone, they couldn't really talk things through. It wasn't convenient, and besides, he couldn't see her face or read her expressions. Only by meeting in person could he be sure to regain control of the situation.

But Lin Meng won't go out, she has made up her mind.

Just say what's on your mind.

Jiang Cheng is really both angry and impatient!

Mumu, come out and talk!

Lin Meng pinched her phone, took a deep breath, and said softly.

"Brother Jiang, I know what you and your father have done. You're doing this for Xiaolang, so I won't stop you. But Xiaolang's death has nothing to do with Rong Ling, please don't target him anymore, okay! Rong Ling promised me that he can make concessions for what you've done. Just like this, okay!"

"Who says it has nothing to do with Rong Ling!" Jiang Chengfeng questioned coldly. "You just believe everything he told you!"

This harshness and aggressiveness made Lin Meng feel stifled. Compared to her own man, Jiang Chengfeng's actions really made her uncomfortable.

"Brother Jiang, I have my own way. But please, don't target Rong Ling anymore!"

"What kind of way is that! Your way is to just stay locked up in the house, do nothing, and now you even won't show yourself for my noodles Just hiding from me like this, is it!"

She was speechless.

He growled softly. "What's wrong with you!"

But she also wanted to ask him, what was wrong with him!

She is not simply Lin Meng. She has a husband, she is a mother to children, and she is a human being. Under the influence of seven emotions and six desires, she can be moved, but also angered; grateful, but also disappointed.

"I'm still me." She dropped her eyes wearily. "Jiang Gege, if you don't have anything else to say, then I think we should go our separate ways."

Jiang's response was to strike first, abruptly ending the call.

This is beyond frustrating!

Listening to the blind sound from there, Lin Meng let out a soft sigh.

"Oh!"

Then she went to find Rong Ling. She deliberately left her study to answer Jiang Chengfeng's call. When she returned to the study, she saw Rong Ling holding her phone and talking to someone, her ten fingers flying across the keyboard. Seeing her enter, he briefly said a few words and hung up the phone.

"Jiang Chengfeng said something, look at you with such a furrowed brow!"

A hint of a smile appeared on her face as she listened to his words, and she playfully retorted.

"Where is the frown"

He raised a hand and beckoned her. "Come here."

She walked closer and patted his thigh again. "Sit here."

She gave her waist a little twist and sat down unceremoniously, then naturally nestled into his arms. The familiar scent, faintly mixed with the warmth of sunlight and the freshness of grass, made her take a long, deep breath as if she were forcefully expelling all the turmoil from her heart.

He took her hand, encircled her waist, his chin lightly grazing her cheek, and whispered softly into her ear.

"Come on, how did Jiang Chengfeng pressure you again!"

She felt like this man was incredibly cunning, but he also seemed to be deliberately trying not to appear too powerful. So she denied it.

"

Nonsense!

"

The man didn't dwell on that either, and followed her lead. "Then tell me, what's bothering you, hmm!"

As he spoke, his sensual jaw brushed lightly against her cheek.

There's a kind of indescribable intimacy!

She felt like she was being spoiled rotten by him, and it seemed like no matter how wild she got, it was okay. After thinking for a moment, she twisted her hips, shifted her body, and wrapped her arms around his neck, settling herself in his lap. Her fiery red lips moved to his ear, letting out a warm breath before she could even speak, but first, she heard the man let out a low groan, taking a sharp inhale of air.

She was taken aback for a moment, then her face immediately flushed red. She lightly punched the man and said reproachfully, "Don't be naughty!"

The man instantly fell silent, letting out a cold snort as he glared at them.

"Who is the one making trouble!"

The big hand pinched her little butt hard.

If she hadn't rubbed her ass against him, pressed her full chest against him, and blown hot air in his face, he wouldn't have gotten aroused!

She blushed and subtly lifted her rear, carefully avoiding the slightly prominent area, letting out a soft hum.

Anyway, just don't do anything bad!

She said no is no!

The man arrogantly raised an eyebrow, daring her. He could take care of her right now if he wanted to!

But the next second, she leaned against him almost like half her weight was on him, with her arms around his neck, acting like a child. “I have something important to tell you!”

He couldn't stand her soft and coquettish act. He suppressed the fire in his heart and said, "Go on!"

Even the hands that were still "clicking" away on the keyboard came to a halt. He wrapped his arms around her. Because once this woman started acting like this, she basically just wanted to be comforted and coddled.

She quickly kissed him first to hold him down.

"Still a matter of the Jiang family!"

Seeing that he didn't show displeasure immediately, she opened up and continued talking.

"Family matters are really painful right now. You tell me not to think too much, but I can't help it. Xiao Lang—oh!" She bit her lip, troubled beyond measure. "I really can't just sit back and do nothing, but what Big Brother Jiang and his father did...and...that kind of thing, it's all affecting Third Uncle now, Rong Ling, what should I do!"

After she finished speaking, she sweetly hurried to kiss him.

"I'm sorry, I've troubled you again."

Then, with self-disgust, she rubbed herself against him haphazardly, messing up her neatly styled hair. Her face was flushed red, but it was still contorted like a bun.

He reached out, with just one palm, he basically covered her entire face. He kneaded it gently, not too hard or soft. Her mouth and nose were blocked, making it difficult to breathe. Later on, she let out muffled groans, her head bobbing like a tambourine.

He finally released his hand, and she immediately opened her mouth wide, breathing greedily. Her face flushed with a delicate redness, plumping up roundly like a perfectly smooth steamed bun.

He was pleased, feeling that this was how she should look.

“Jiang PoLang saved you, this favor cannot be forgotten. I also suffered for you, and he Jiang PoLang is my benefactor too. So towards Jiang YanCheng and the rest, I have my own measure. As always, until absolutely necessary, I won’t fight them. If the Jiang family makes any further requests of you, you don't need to worry about it at all, leave it all to me. I am your husband, this is a matter of duty, just leave it to me.”

He squinted and said again, "Xiao Quai, you also remember this, people can't live in the past. Those who have died are already like that. What you should look at is the present and the future. Don't always use the past to punish yourself, and drag down those around you. To get stuck on what has already happened is, frankly speaking, just self-inflicted suffering!"

This half-coaxing, half-criticizing remark made Lin Meng shrink her shoulders, making her feel as if she had shrunk an inch. In fact, she was quite afraid of men reprimanding her so seriously because men's authority was too deep, and she had basically looked up to him all along. Even now, although sometimes she could get on top of his head and make trouble, most of the time, she was still suppressed by him.

She looked like this and fell into Rong Ling's heart. He immediately felt his heart open, and he continued to instruct her at that moment.

"You've been looking for trouble lately, haven't you I'm your husband. You tell me everything, and I'll support you and help you! At least then, you wouldn't be torn between sides, getting sick with worry, and even coming down with a fever. Although Third Uncle is my uncle, the Jiang family is using the excuse of avenging Jiang Po-lang to target him. I won't betray them. You are my wife, and I will always put you first!"

This means, for her, he would even sacrifice his third uncle!

Lin Meng's eyes sparkled as she looked at Rong Ling, finding it simply unbelievable. Hearing the man say this, it seemed like everything she had been struggling with these past few days was nothing but a farce.

“You really…don’t care about Uncle Three!”

"That's impossible!"

He is not such a heartless and unrighteous person, especially towards his uncle who is more like a father to him than his own.

Lin Meng also felt that this was what Rong Ling was like.

"Then you still say that!" she pouted.

He immediately pinched her cheek. “I only said I wouldn’t harm the people of the Jiang family, but I never said I wouldn’t help Third Uncle. If the people of the Jiang family come to harm Third Uncle, then Jiang Bolan’s revenge will be served, so let them take revenge. I’ll treat it as repaying Jiang Bolan’s favor for you by not dealing with the Jiang family. But Third Uncle means something to me, you should understand that in your heart. He's in trouble now, and I have to help!”

After a moment's pause, he gazed deeply into her eyes.

"Don't be unhappy. In fact, I'm also in a dilemma. You and San Bo are my dilemma; this feeling is just like how you and I, as well as the Jiang family members, are your dilemma. But I won't be like you, this little fool, who seeks abuse for no reason. I will only actively seek solutions. You, I must help; and San Bo, I also have to help. Right now, what you need to think about is that for repaying Jiang Po Lang's kindness, I have already made enough concessions to the Jiang family. So, after all these things end, no matter what the result is, you, this little fool, are not allowed to keep worrying about Jiang Po Lang's death, otherwise, I'll spank your butt."

Lin Meng immediately felt uncomfortable. Why did he suddenly use this to threaten her!

But he thought the threat wasn't quite heavy enough, so he added, "Beat him in front of Youyou!"

She blushed immediately, shamefacedly punching him.

He just let out a cold snort.

"Remember this, if you dare to do it, I'll beat you up!"

She twisted her body stubbornly, letting out two muffled sounds, but couldn't utter a coherent word because she was too weak. She wasn't stupid, though. What the man had said to her was enough to untangle the mess in her mind, which was like a tangled ball of yarn. In reality, all she needed was someone who could be brutally honest with her.

Rong Ling changed the subject and continued to give her a cold look.

"What I just said was based on the worst-case scenario, assuming what Jiang Chengfeng said is true, that San Bo did it. However, whether San Bo actually did it remains to be investigated. I remember the situation back then was quite complex. If my final findings prove San Bo innocent, then that idiot—"

He snorted, lifting her chin and giving it a hard bite. “For you, I’m practically suffering! When the time comes, you better compensate me well.”

After finishing, he seemed to believe that he had been wronged, so he bit her hard as if he was settling a debt in advance.

Lin Meng was actually a bit moved by what he said. This suspicion, she had felt it before, but —

"A-Yi said, 'That really is San Bo Qian's."

At first, Rong Ling wasn't by her side; instead, she and Xiao Yi were very close. So, Xiao Yi knew far more than Rong Ling.

A flash of cold anger quickly crossed Rong Ling's eyes.

"Bad kitty, you're not being good!"

He scolded her, as if he was addicted to it.

“To trust another man so easily, do you not think of me at all!”

"This...this has nothing to do with not putting you in my eyes, right!" She weakly retorted.

He suddenly reached out with his big hand and grasped her chest. She gasped immediately, a blush creeping onto her face.

"What are you doing!" I pushed him with my hand.

He squeezed her forcefully, murmuring hoarsely. His ambiguous breath was all poured onto her lips. Those lips felt like they were about to kiss hers.

"You are only allowed to carry me here! Only believe in me!"

Under the burning palm, that heart separated by flesh, was slightly hot.

Why is he being so ambiguous Just say what you mean!

A faint blush appeared on her face. After a moment of thought, she whispered softly, "How could that be My heart is already filled with you, and I also have to pretend for the children and my friends..."

"Such a cute little mouth!" he chided softly, catching her lips and sucking them hard. He didn't let go until her lip felt sore.

"You're so stupid, you can't even say something nice to coax me!"

Her face flushed, she glared at him with reproachful eyes, her full lips puffed out in a pout.

He just scoffed. “So dumb, don’t even know how to seize the opportunity and capture a man’s heart!”

She wouldn't stand for it. Who said she didn't know She didn't need him to teach her. Besides, why did he keep saying she was stupid!

She rushed towards him and kissed him fiercely, twisting her body as she rubbed against him. She kissed, rubbed, and pressed against him until finally she pushed him onto the armchair and straddled his waist. After letting go of him, he lay beneath her like a male slave, his shirt slightly rumpled, his breath heavy and clouded with desire. His face was flushed with lust, as if craving for her to continue, his aura felt significantly weaker, seeming as though he could be bullied at will.

She was very satisfied with such a situation.

She slapped his face brazenly, then pouted her full lips and said in a coquettish tone.

"Hey, don't say I'm stupid, or you'll be the one getting called stupid. If I actually become dumb, I'm holding you responsible."

He slightly curled the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile that would undoubtedly drive many women to scream with madness.

She's such an airhead, she's given her whole life to him. This silly little fool, what kind of nonsense is he talking!

He reached out and petted her head affectionately, but he saw her face suddenly flush red. It was a deep crimson, especially her two rosy little ears, the tips of which were even tinged with pink, as if they were about to bleed from the redness.

He furrowed his brows slightly, a hint of confusion in his expression. He opened his mouth to ask, but then saw her lick her lips, her gaze becoming shy and sultry as she half-closed her bewitching eyes. In a soft, almost whispery voice, she spoke.

Every person's heart can hold many things, not just one. But, Rong Ling—

Thinking about it, she changed her words again, her tone now even softer than Wu Nong's soft words.

“Honey——” she called out softly, her voice seeming to grow even more embarrassed. She licked her lips again, then continued, a mix of shyness and boldness in her tone. “But honey, you’re number one in my heart, no one can compare to you!”

Having finished speaking, her delicate face, which seemed to captivate the soul with its allure, resembled a layer of exquisite rouge. Her watery eyes, too, softened and held an indescribable seductive quality.

Rong Ling stiffened all of a sudden, that place, it became tight and a little painful!

She hardly ever called her husband by his name, and he rarely heard it. It was probably because she had a shy side hidden deep within her. Even though they were married, every time she called him "husband," she would mumble softly, whisper the word once, and then retreat back into herself. Most of the time, she just called out "Rongling, Rongling." Now that she was calling him in such a soft, sweet voice, it gave him a strange feeling he couldn't quite describe. The drawn-out tone was like golden honey stretched thin, with an indescribable sweetness that was both cloying and intoxicating. It felt like it was wrapping him up tightly, making his whole body burn.

His pitch-black eyes instantly darkened, like the night, impenetrable and fathomless.

"Say it again!"

He narrowed his eyes, a hint of desire in them. Unintentionally, his voice dropped to a husky whisper, taut and strained like a bowstring about to snap.

She blushed, her body growing warm under his gaze. Her waist weakened almost to the point of collapse. She struggled to stay upright, leaning on him with one hand at his abdomen, preventing herself from falling.

"You'll always be number one in my heart, no one can compare to you!" she said softly again. Her glistening eyes met his, and the mist in them deepened, her allure becoming even more intense.

"That's not all, there's more in front," he murmured seductively, his slender finger trailing across her cheek.

She was burning up and wanted to run away, but somehow, her body felt drained of energy and she couldn't move.

"Go on, tell me everything." He continued to tempt her, his long finger gently tracing across her lips. It was ticklish and tingling, like a small insect crawling into her heart.

My heart is melting!

Her eyebrows, all of a sudden, bloomed with springlike joy.

"Honey," she called out softly, but then couldn't continue. Her whole body flushed red; she simply couldn't speak. Especially with him looking at her like that, she felt so strange.

"Hmm." He let out a grunt from his nostrils, not asking for much because all he wanted to hear was her calling him husband. That sweet and cloying voice, lingering like a melody that echoed for days, was exactly what he craved. His long fingers teased her lips again, and after narrowing his eyes, his voice became even more raspy as he pleaded with her.

"One more time!"

She lowered her face, twisted her waist slightly, and murmured shyly, "No thank you."

Avoiding his gaze, she found some strength. She felt that their current position was somewhat dangerous and began to think about getting down from him. As she ground against him, she accidentally brushed against his hot spot. She stiffened and looked up at him with her watery eyes that were alluring enough to make one want to swallow her whole. Her gaze flickered nervously as she met his. He reached out with one hand and grabbed her arm, pulling her hard. The force was intense, as if he wanted to drag her into his body.

She gasped and fell into his arms. Frantically, she tried to scramble away. But his other large hand reached out, clamping down on her small waist with force, leaving her nowhere to go. The hardness against her stomach seemed to burn even hotter.

The arrow is on the string, it must be let fly!

"Mmm—" she panted, her flushed face beaded with perspiration.

He gripped her waist tightly, pulling her slightly upward. The feeling of her flat stomach sliding against his sent shivers down her spine, making her body feel hot and on the verge of exploding. Her breathing quickened, and her body trembled sensitively, almost melting like water.

His eyes, black as the abyss, locked onto her with an intensity that felt like a net of insatiable desire, spreading over her like a suffocating blanket. She was lost in the moment, softly panting and letting out sighs that were barely whispers...

— Aside —

Ugh, I actually wanted to write more, but my head feels like it's wearing a tight curse, so I can't write much. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
