lways buried in her studies all day long. Anything other than school-related books became a distraction. She fell in love with reading newspapers and would even spend a dollar on a newspaper every da...Even after Rong Ling left the restaurant, He Wen remained frozen in her seat. Jiang Mu watched with sympathy and gently placed a hand on her arm. He Wen continued to tremble, tears streaming down her face incessantly.
At this time of year, the weather is scorching hot, and everyone dresses very simply, just in one piece. It's impossible for Jiang Mu to say anything like taking off her clothes to help He Wen put on something to shield her from the heat.
"Wenwen…" Jiang's mother called out in a faint, barely audible voice, afraid of scaring her. Because her expression right now… it was truly frightening. It was both fragile and as if it were about to explode.
Across the table, Jiang Chengfeng stood up, crossed over to He Wen's side, and reached out to pull her. He Wen jerked her arm back with a spasm-like movement. But her reaction was too quick for Jiang Chengfeng, who grabbed her firmly and pulled her up.
He Wen was like a rat being thrown into a boiling pot, she struggled frantically, the mess of vegetables slipping off her body, leaving her even more disheveled.
“No… Don’t…” she weakly resisted. Because of Rong Ling, her confidence had been dealt an unprecedented blow. Now, even the smallest thing could make her particularly vulnerable, of course, and it could also make her extremely strong, like a madman. But Jiang Chengfeng’s action stopped this strength, pushing her towards vulnerability instead.
He pulled He Wen into his arms, hugging her tightly. When He Wen was both flustered and surprised, he held her and sat down, letting her sit on his lap. His figure was tall and broad-shouldered, while He Wen was slender, so when he sat down, he skillfully pressed He Wen against his chest, and with a slight lean of his body, he trapped her in his arms, blocking the view of onlookers.
Without a word, he used his hands to remove the messy food from her body. Finally, he picked up a napkin and carefully wiped her delicate face.
He Wen was stunned. Through his clothes, she could feel the warmth of his skin, and there was a sense of security that came with it. This man, who was usually so cold to her, now, after what she had gone through, he became so hideous, yet he held her in his arms and even helped her!
As if she were a porcelain doll he painstakingly cared for!
At that moment, her heart was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. Then, a wave of love surged in her chest. The tears she had been holding back suddenly flowed again.
"I know, you can't possibly not care about me, right!"
Jiang Cheng rode the wind, his gaze half-lowered as he continued to wipe. Silent as ever, he looked somewhat aloof in this manner. Yet, the movements of his hands were so gentle, so tender, that He Wen still felt a warmth bloom in her heart, an affection that touched her very core!
Just now, Mom Jiang said that what young people do is always different from what they think. Now, she would rather believe that Mom Jiang is right, and she would rather believe that everything Jiang Chengfeng did to her before was insincere!
After Jiang Cheng cleaned her up, he clasped the back of her head with his big hand, pressing her against his chest. Then, he reached out and beckoned to the servant who was standing at a distance, hesitating and afraid to come forward. The servant gritted his teeth and came over. Jiang Cheng whispered something in his ear, and the servant nodded before leaving.
As for the woman in his arms, Jiang Chengfeng harbored not a shred of affection. Honestly, he should follow Rong Ling and give her a good scolding. The dish she had just splashed was oil-braised prawns; the heat from it wouldn't subside for a while, and the prawn whiskers and claws could all be used as weapons. Especially, if they hit the eyes, there was a possibility of irreparable harm!
How cruel she is!
Lin Meng splashed her with a cup of clean tea, not even a speck of tea leaves! She, on the other hand, was going straight for disfigurement and blinding.
He could have chosen to ignore her, but instead, he extended a hand of help and even displayed a feigned tenderness. This was because he felt the terror that Rong Ling inspired. That man was truly insane. He didn't believe, with Rong Ling's intelligence and observational skills, that he wouldn't detect this woman's wealth, nor did he believe Rong Ling hadn't seen her expensive attire. Even if those things could be ignored, he didn't believe that Rong Ling couldn't see the dazzling emerald pendant hanging from her neck! A gemstone of that size, not someone with a certain status could wear it!
But that man dared to! He simply picked up a vegetable and flung it at her, utterly disregarding everything else. It was so cold and arrogant that it struck fear into one's heart. This arrogance, in fact, stemmed from an extreme confidence—a belief that nothing could harm him. Therefore, he would do whatever he pleased, and no one dared to stop him. He feared nothing!
His kind of depth made him think back to what his subordinates had reported, about their failure when they tried to assassinate him. This made him suddenly feel that Rong Ling towered over him, he was even a little cowardly, feeling that perhaps alone, he truly couldn't defeat this terrifying man.
He needs an alliance!
In my heart, a voice cried out!
So, despite his dislike for He Wen, he still walked towards her. At her most vulnerable and in need, he breached her defenses and secured a united front!
For his ultimate goal, he has long since abandoned all morals. So, this time is no different!
The waiter brought a large tablecloth. Jiang Chengfeng took it and draped the clean cloth over He Wen. It was the only thing big enough to cover her completely!
"Just bear with it, don't look up, I'll take you out!"
He pressed her face against his chest, across the tablecloth, holding her waist as they walked out. This was a kind of ultimate consideration, once again cutting off everyone's peeping at He Wen, and completely preserving He Wen's dignity. He Wen was touched again, proactively hugging Jiang Chengfeng's waist, straining to lower her neck, burying her face in his chest.
She told herself, Jiang Chengfeng, this man, was exactly what she wanted!
After getting in the car, she was one hundred percent safe. Jiang Mu looked at the two young people hugging each other tightly, and was very satisfied in her heart. She felt that this time, there was a bit of blessing in misfortune. It seemed that her son's heart really had He Wen. Therefore, Jiang Mu immediately expressed that she would drive, while Jiang Chengfeng would be responsible for sitting in the back seat and accompanying He Wen. Jiang Chengfeng didn't say anything, but he got into the back seat. This was a silent acknowledgment!
Mother Jiang was even more pleased and drove the car away.
And He Wen, was still being held in Jiang Chengfeng's arms. She hadn't thought about letting go of the hands that were holding onto Jiang Chengfeng's waist. After the car drove for about ten minutes, her heart slowly calmed down. The earlier incident, after flashing by like a quick shot in her mind, left her with a lingering fear, but more so was the intense hatred that quickly rose within her!
A destitute couple, powerless and insignificant, dare to humiliate her like this She'll show those two what it truly means to "live worse than death"!
As for Lin Meng, she knew that Jiang Chengfeng had told her before that he already liked someone. That person must have been Lin Meng. So, she would make Lin Meng disappear. The best way to make a man's heart devoid of a woman was to make that woman completely disappear from the man's world! Men are heartless, even the most intense emotions will fade away if there is no news of that woman, and with the passage of time, there will be nothing left!
And she just happened to have that ability, the power to make someone vanish without a trace!
When Rong Ling brought Lin Meng and her son home, it was almost seven thirty in the evening, and the sky outside was dark. As soon as they entered the house, it was pitch black, but with the help of the sensor light outside, Lin Meng quickly found the switch at the entrance hall and turned on the lights inside.
Thus, the entire situation of the house became clear. The little boy dashed in, flinging his shoes aside, and let out an "eh" before catching himself and running towards Lin Meng who was already heading inside.
"Mommy!" the little boy whispered, stretching out his short arms and pointing ahead. Lin Meng followed his gaze and looked over. She felt that there seemed to be something extra on her sofa at home. As she got closer, she saw that the bulge was a person!
It's Li Lanqiu!
She just fell asleep on the couch like that!
She closed her eyes, and she and the three of them, after coming in, made quite a commotion. It's impossible for someone who isn't asleep to have no reaction at all, right!
But, could this woman really have a brain structure different from others! Being in someone else's home, with a male homeowner present, she, as a woman, can sleep so casually on the sofa dressed like that!
Yes, Li Lanqiu is wearing very revealing clothes!
A skin-tight tank top could barely contain the swell of her breasts. The two mounds of white flesh that protruded above the straps were definitely eye-catching for men at first glance, and her bottom was only covered by a short skirt. If she slept awkwardly, she could easily expose what lay beneath!
It's really infuriating!
Lin Meng thought it wasn't that this woman was thick-skinned, but rather that her brain structure was different from others. She estimated that she was deliberately trying to flirt with her man! Turning her head, she caught her man's gaze, which landed squarely on Li Lanqiu. A pang of jealousy shot through Lin Meng's heart. Luckily, the man retracted his gaze the next second and looked at her.
She glared at him and walked toward Li Lanqiu!
"Hey!" she called out to Li Lanqiu, but Li Lanqiu seemed to be sleeping very soundly and didn't wake up.
She called out again, but she still didn't move!
Lin Meng had no choice but to bend down and push her. In her sleep, Li Lanqiu frowned, let out a small whimper, and pulled her body closer, bringing her shoulders even tighter together. This made her chest swell, and the indentation between her breasts became even more alluring, causing her heart to race uncontrollably even for another woman.
"Come on, don't sleep here!" Lin Meng mumbled, inwardly annoyed by this woman.
But she was still unconscious, sleeping like a pig.
The little boy's eyes lit up mischievously. "Mommy, let's not wake Aunt Li," he said slyly.
Lin Meng's heart suddenly brightened, thinking her son's idea was excellent. How could she have not thought of it!
"Well, you're right, Yoyo. Mommy shouldn't have disturbed Aunt Li while she was sleeping."
Tilting her head, she smiled with a touch of happiness and lowered her voice deliberately. "Rong Ling, let's go back to the house!"
Rong Ling frowned slightly because he couldn't be so ruthless to Li Yiping's words!
"This place isn't suitable for sleeping either. Well, I'll just carry her back."
How can this be!
Lin Meng immediately reached out and grabbed Rong Ling, whispering, "This place isn't suitable for sleeping at all. The sofa in our house is so comfortable, it could totally be used as a bed. I've taken naps on it several times before!"
Róng Líng hesitated for a moment.
It will probably be cool at night!
"It's okay, it's okay," she said with a smile, revealing her pearly white teeth that were lined up like little rice cakes. "I'll just go get a cool blanket to cover her with!"
This charming look captivated Rong Ling's heart, and he nodded.
Lin Mengyue tossed out a casual sentence, "Wait for me, I'll go get it for her!"
She had only walked a short distance when she suddenly heard the woman humming. When she turned around, she saw that the woman who had just been sleeping like a pig, and whom she had called and pushed but couldn't wake up, was now awake and lunged at her with a joyful cry.
"Oh, you're back! You're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
That coquettish voice, I estimate that men would have softened their stance upon hearing it. Yet, when Lin Meng heard it, he only felt goosebumps all over. It wasn't enough; Li Lanqiu actually wrapped her arms around Rong Ling like an octopus, familiar and skillful. At the same time, she jumped upwards, her legs winding themselves around Rong Ling's waist and hips, finally hanging onto him. Her face even rubbed against Rong Ling's shoulder blade, as if she were his wife!
How could this be!
A raging fire of anger burned in Lin Meng's heart!
"Li Lanqiu, you're daydreaming!"
A frigid voice, like a suddenly rising whistle, shot out of her mouth and struck Li Lanqiu!
Li Lanqiu turned her head and glanced at Lin Meng, but she didn't show any sign of guilt or nervousness. Instead, she looked at Lin Meng with a confused expression and asked, "Who are you What are you doing in our house!"
She looked up at Rong Ling again. "Who is that girl!"
Rong Ling was stunned, some past memories suddenly flashed in his mind! But Lin Meng's cry suddenly dispersed these memories!
"Róng Líng!" Lin Mèng's face was tense as she shouted his name!
Feng Ling reached out and grabbed Li Lanqiu.
"You're sleepwalking!" He had a complex expression, but still, without hesitation, he pulled Li Lanqiu down from him. But Li Lanqiu was like she had been suddenly startled, using her hands and feet to hold onto Rong Ling even tighter, her voice filled with panic.
"Rong, what's wrong with you! What are you doing!"
Saying that, she leaned in and kissed him!
The little guy next to him suddenly rushed over, raised his small arm, and pulled hard on Li Lanqiu's skirt.
"Get off my father!"
The little fellow shouted excitedly!
"Where did the little kid come from! If you want daddy, go find him yourself, be good!" She even sounded very gentle like she was soothing a child!
"Enough, Li Lanqiu!" Rong Ling roared. This time, he wasn't polite. He used all his strength to forcefully pull Li Lanqiu down. "That's my son, Rong You!"
Li Lanqiu immediately put on an expression as if she had been deeply struck. "You... you have a son when Rong, you... you can only have my children! Where did the son come from! Where did the son come from!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face!
Rong Ling furrowed his brows deeply, his movements stiffening all at once!
He thought to himself, Li Lanqiu would never be able to have children again for the rest of her life!
And this, is because of him!
Then, Lin Meng, who could be considered running over, pushed Li Lanqiu away from Rong Ling forcefully. She then followed suit, tiptoeing and hugging Rong Ling's neck before jumping onto him, her legs firmly gripping his waist!
"Li Lanqiu!" He turned his face and called her name.
Li Lanqiu, however, let out a scream and suddenly rushed towards Lin Meng, shouting, "Come down, come down! It's mine, it's mine, we agreed to be together forever..."
Lin Meng interrupted her. "Rong Ling is mine, you watch out!"
After giving him a sweet smile, Lin Meng suddenly leaned in and pressed her lips heavily onto Rong Ling's. She found his kiss lacking passion, so she wrapped her arms around his head and kissed him with more force and fervor.
Li Lanqiu came over and pretended to beat Lin Meng, but was suddenly stopped by Rong Ling's arm. He stopped her with just one hand, as firmly as he had held He Wen before. His other hand supported Lin Meng's waist, also firm, but this firmness was imbued with tenderness!
Lin Meng hung on Rong Ling like that, kissing him with all her might, her tongue boldly plunging into his mouth. The sound of kisses changing angles repeatedly, along with the hot and heavy breathing, could get everyone around them excited. Of course, this didn't include little Youyou, who was only four years old.
He was used to his parents' kisses, so he just watched from the side. Of course, he didn't bother pulling Lin Meng over. Because in his understanding, Mommy could just hang on Daddy, and among adults, only Mommy was allowed!
"Come down, you make her come down..." Li Lanqiu roared somewhat violently.
It's just that it's hard to resist this unsolicited fortune. This woman is so rarely passionate and proactive, her little mouth is so fiery, she practically wants to eat him; her little tongue is so enthusiastic, it almost makes him moan. And the woman's waist isn't idle either, constantly rubbing against him, rubbing against his sensitive areas. He has a low immunity to her, he always gets easily seduced by her, getting hot and bothered all over. Right now, if it weren't for Li Lanqiu still being around, he would have taken action and pinned her down!
Li Lanqiu saw that her shouting was useless. Seeing Lin Meng and Rong Ling kissing more and more passionately, their faces flushed red, looking completely lost in each other, she could no longer bear it. With a wail, "Aaaw," she burst into tears!
Crying like a baby!
Her lung capacity was really good, with that sudden shout, she scared the little kid, his eyebrows jumped. Then she turned her head, with a stiff face, and couldn't help but reveal a strange look in her eyes, staring at him!
And Lin Meng and Rong Ling were also somewhat affected!
As Rong Ling released Lin Meng with soft, panting breaths, she was already trembling and weak in her legs. She didn't fall, thanks to Rong Ling's hand supporting her. Seeing Li Lanqiu sitting on the ground, crying like a child, Lin Meng's heart felt a complex mix of emotions.
She asked herself, could she have gone too far!
But, she quickly dismissed the idea. A woman coveting her husband and challenging her position as his wife right in front of her Such a retaliation wouldn't be excessive!
Softly rubbing against Rong Ling's long legs, she slid down, but still stood beside him.
And Rong Ling did not move. However, looking at Li Lanqiu, his eyebrows were furrowed. This represented that he was troubled!
Suddenly, Li Lanqiu jerked and went from sobbing to heavy groans. Her face contorted, once again showing great pain. The symptoms were exactly the same as yesterday!
Here we go again!
Lin Meng's eyelids jumped!
And Rong Ling suddenly let go of the hand on her back, quickly walked towards Li Lanqiu and crouched down.
Li Lanqiu immediately reached out and grabbed Rong Ling's arm with all her might, as if she had grasped a piece of driftwood.
" a warm kiss.She slowly lifted her long, dark lashes and asked him a little shyly, "What's wrong!"Such a sudden attack on her, yet now it's so gentle, leaving her perplexed. Although, deep down, she's...
