almost felt guilty for not saying her name."Lin Meng!" she whispered, her ears slightly flushed.He murmured with a smile, a captivating gleam passing through his dark eyes. “Were you dreaming beautifu...The feeling of that calloused hand exploring the most delicate place on her body, made the heat she had finally managed to suppress rise again. And it wasn't just her face; her whole body temperature seemed to increase.It was already hot in summer, but she felt even hotter now, almost like a light sweat was breaking out. He must have noticed, right!

His actions were becoming increasingly excessive, moving up and down with such force that it seemed like he could really do it to her just like that. Sometimes the man's reckless abandon was something she truly couldn't underestimate!

She held back for a long time, her breathing becoming increasingly disordered, her breaths coming out higher and faster. She had been pretending to be asleep, clutching at the facade with all her might, but it finally crumbled when the man pulled open her nightgown and leaned in close to her face.

"Rong Ling!"

She had reached her limit and pushed him away at once.

The commotion was a bit loud, and the little one behind her let out a startled whimper. Twisting its plump little body, it scurried towards her. One moved, and the other followed suit. Little Ha ha, who had originally been dangling a leg on Youyou's body, also unconsciously mumbled a couple of times and followed closely behind like a shadow.

A little hand reached out and climbed over her armpit, falling limply onto her chest, touching the towering peak. The little face nestled against Lin Meng's back, feeling her mommy's skin, which was slightly cool and smooth in the summer, while instinctively scratching with his small hand as a child’s habit, grasping a lump of softness, he smiled contentedly and unconsciously laughed out loud.

His face darkened!

This stinky brat, where did he get such bad habits!

Reaching out, he grabbed the little boy's arm and flung him away. The little boy, even in his sleep, felt like he was being mistreated, so he immediately whimpered in protest again, scrambling with his little hands and crawling back over.

Next time, I absolutely can't let this boy get into her bed again!

Thinking this, Rong Ling once again grasped the little fellow's arm, stretching out his long arms and circling them around Lin Meng, pulling him into his embrace like a little doll, holding him tightly. The little fellow couldn't reach with his arms, he fumbled around for a while, still unable to find what he was looking for, so he could only give up dejectedly, putting his hand to his mouth and even frowning in his sleep. Afterward, he shoved his thumb into his mouth, sucking unconsciously, his small mouth slightly pouted, looking quite displeased.

This look, he looks just like he did when he was weaned!

Lin Meng strained her neck to glance, and immediately beamed. Her heart felt particularly soft. She softly explained to Rong Ling.

Rong Ling became somewhat curious and looked at the little guy a few more times. Because of a nameless longing, he suddenly felt that his son looked rather adorable in this way, not as annoying as before.

That alluring atmosphere, because of this, has already faded a lot. Lin Meng's thoughts from earlier, because of this scene, have been stirred up again.

"Rong Ling, after we get through this hurdle, after the Jiang family matter is settled, I'll give you another baby!"

"Having a baby," she said, her voice carried an odd, earthy charm. Yet, beneath it lay a hint of something else, something ineffable and endearing. Before he could respond, she burst into laughter.

She wants him to truly experience the feeling of being a father, from the very beginning of a life's birth until he slowly grows, changing day by day. That way, his life will not be incomplete.

"When the time comes, your child will still be so tiny, a little ball of fluff. They'll cry and fuss, but they'll also give you their first smile, their first act of affection, their first hug, their first words, their first call of 'Daddy'..."

She tilted her head up to look at him, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous glint.

"Hehe, that's definitely something to look forward to, right!"

This was also precisely the feeling she had when she first had a child. Just imagining it felt wonderful, and then she felt how precious it was!

He pressed her face against his shoulder, making a low hum. There was a feeling he couldn't describe. She suddenly wanted to see what he looked like now, but as soon as she moved her head, he pressed down on her again. He seemed unwilling for her to see his own appearance!

What is this!

She pinched him resentfully.

After he let go of her, she bit his ear again.

"You have to be nice to Youyou, you owe him!"

I owe him four years of paternal love!

"I just saw that, you were so rough with Youyou!" She wrinkled her nose and reached out to pinch his chin. "That's not acceptable!"

He immediately seized her lips, kissing her deeply. He mumbled something indistinctly while covering her chest with his large palm.

This is a matter of sovereignty. Here, only I can touch it.

The vinegar flavor is quite strong!

Then should she remind him, sweetheart, he was breastfed!

Forget it, I'd rather not. Who knows what outlandish thing this man would do after hearing that. Closing her eyes, she softly endured his kiss. When he was done, she coquettishly pleaded.

"I'm so sleepy, I can't today. Please let me sleep!"

No matter what he thought, she squinted and rubbed against his chest, putting one hand on his waist and hugging him affectionately. He suddenly hugged her tightly, the heavy force making her feel pressured. But slowly, she could feel that his desire seemed to be fading. Then in a daze, she didn't know anything anymore, and sweetly fell asleep.

Here, everything is lovey-dovey and sweet, with a harmonious family life. However, the He family is a completely different story: full of bickering and hidden agendas. Though they live under the same roof, their hearts are far apart.

Tonight, Rong Qikeng came. He lowered his noble neck and sincerely begged Old Madam He to help him, on the condition that the He family would take full responsibility for the losses, severing all previous cooperation with the Rong family. Naturally, Old Madam He refused, finding Rong Qikeng's proposal too excessive. The Rong family is currently the hope of the He family, and one could say that the He family, this sinking ship, has only one lifeline - the Rong family. Now, Rong Qikeng asks them to cut off this life-saving rope themselves. Isn't this asking for their family's demise!

Rong Qikeng naturally spoke soothing words, using his eloquence to hint that he would surely make amends for what He's family had lost and that there would be many more opportunities to cooperate with them in the future. He was currently facing some trouble, and if he couldn't get through this, then any talk of the future would be completely empty. At that point, anything he said would be useless.

"My girl has my child in her belly. You can rest assured, Grandma, that our families' bond won't be broken. I’m facing backlash from Rongling and I need to do something to regain control!"

The situation at the He family is currently tense, with many previous businesses and old friends essentially avoiding them. To be honest, the He family can rely on, and most importantly, they can rely on, the Rong family. Therefore, these days, the He family has not relaxed in the slightest regarding the movements of the Rong family, dispatching several people to keep an eye on them. After Rong Ling went to the East Asia Group this afternoon, the He family already knew about it. However, they were only vaguely aware of what he had specifically done. Within this limited knowledge, there was one thing that terrified them: the position of Rong Qikeng seemed to be in jeopardy.

If Rong Qikeng comes down, then the He family will be utterly ruined!

So, this evening Rong Qinkeng is not coming over. She'll have to find a way to get him to come over himself. Now that Rong Qinkeng said this, Old Madam He thought the young man was quite honest and hadn't hidden anything from her.

She should really think this through. What would it take for them to cut off their own limbs to save him This is a major matter, one that cannot be taken lightly!

"Let me think about it again!"

She needs to observe first, see if this head of the household, Rong Qi Keng, can truly stabilize things! If not, she absolutely cannot do something like this.

Feng Qi stared at the old woman's sly demeanor, his heart filled with resentment. He hated that the He family had dragged him to this point and still dared to act superior. However, he kept a straight face, showing no sign of his inner turmoil.

"Grandma, I think you should understand that only with me in this position can your family receive help. Me, you, the maid, and the He family, we're basically like water and oil mixed together. As long as I'm in power, your family will definitely benefit. But if things go this way because of your refusal to intervene, any other person who takes my place would completely sever ties with your family. You should know that the Rong family has a vast business. Cutting off a part of itself might cause temporary pain, but after some time, the wound will heal and that part will grow back. I truly believe you should carefully consider my request!"

Elder He narrowed her eyes slightly, and remained silent for a long time, seemingly unmoved.

Rong Qi's face turned slightly cold, and his tone carried a hint of displeasure.

"Grandma, aren't you going to help!"

He looked quite different, with a touch of sharpness in his demeanor. He was indeed the head of the Rong family after all; if he were to become angry, people would naturally be more cautious.

Old Mrs. He let out a grunt.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help, but the sum you’re asking for is too large. I have to be careful. With all the men in our family locked up now, we need money to buy food and necessities. There are many expenses, and with the business affected, the money we earn isn’t enough. Asking me to take on this responsibility would drain our entire savings. This affects the future of our whole family, so I can’t be careless!”

Rong Qikeng let out a snort in his heart, thinking to himself that this old woman was truly putting on a show. Her son and grandson were in the army, making a fortune; her children-in-law and grandchildren holding official positions had also amassed wealth over the years. Who doesn't have a backup plan They just fear falling unexpectedly one day. The old lady saying that their family would end up drinking the north wind was simply a joke.

Humph, excuses!

His face grew colder and darker.

"Well, it seems I'm asking a bit much!"

A smirk played at the corner of his lips, revealing a chilling arrogance and utter indifference.

"Well then, let's just pretend I never came today. As you know, when I wasn't the head of the family, my life was still comfortable. After all, I had my parents looking after me, and all the uncles and cousins in the clan watched me grow up. They always showed me some leniency. If I were to go back down there, it wouldn't be much different from before. But, Grandma, when it comes to your family matters, I'm afraid I'm overextended and can't help. Please understand!"

Having said that, he suddenly stood up and said straightforwardly.

"Farewell!"

Stepped forward and strode away.ly rested her hand on his shoulder, squeezing it firmly. That's when he broke off his own amusement, turning his head with a dribble of saliva at the corner of his mouth, looking at her with a bewild...
