took out her textbook from her bag and arranged it roughly according to today's lesson plan. When she placed her bag on the table, she turned her head to look to the side. There, sat her two best frie...As soon as they got in the car, Lin Meng pushed Rong Ling with all her might, but instead of pushing him away, he pulled her closer.

"Your guts are getting bigger, you dare to play such a trick! With your foolish appearance, how could you not know that you'd be swallowed whole!" he scolded her.

She naturally wouldn't accept it. "You're the silly one, you and your whole family..."

Suddenly, the thought struck him: they were already family. The words "your whole family is stupid," which he had been about to say, now seemed ridiculous and utterly impossible to utter.

"Well, you're stupid!" she glared at him. "How do you know I was playing I'm telling you, I'm serious!"

"If you dare say one more word that you're serious, I'll kill you right here in this car!"

This man has an arrogant personality and views the world as nothing. He says what he can definitely do. She was taken by him in the car, it's not like it hasn't happened before. When she heard this, she was a little scared and whimpered softly.

"You dare!"

He lacks confidence.

He stared at her with malice, his heart burning. He was usually a calm and collected person, seeing through everything, but when it came to her, he couldn't help but feel agitated and restless. What the hell was she looking at Feng Tan with He knew and told himself that this woman was intentional, trying to provoke him, yet seeing that scene, his heart churned like a stormy sea, truly unbearable.

"Dare you Why don't you give it a try!"

When that sinister gaze shot over, she shrank her shoulders.

He snorted again angrily. "Next time you dare to look at other men like that, I'll give you a taste of what I can do!"

You'll look great!

He always said that, and it was the biggest threat he had against her. Of course, without exception, every time it was all bark and no bite. So, she would always brazenly yell at him.

"How I look at other men is none of your business, hmph!"

She abruptly turned her face, bumping her head against him. She looked just like a little child throwing a tantrum last night! They really were mother and son, both so infuriating that you'd want to give them a good smack.

Don't deliberately provoke me, or you'll regret it!

"Well, come here then!" she retorted, stubbornly shouting back with reckless abandon.

He stared, his eyes narrowing bit by bit. This look would have sent ordinary people scurrying for forgiveness long ago. But she didn't show a shred of fear!

I'm completely smitten with her.

"Don't think I don't dare!" he scolded fiercely, but in reality, towards her, he was tough on the outside but soft on the inside!

She let out a cold snort, not taking it to heart at all.

What kind of attitude is this!

He furrowed his brow.

"What just happened will never happen again!"

She ignored him, watching the scenery outside her window flash by. Her delicate lips were slightly pouted, a touch of petulance in their expression.

He sighed, holding her close, gently rocking her ear. "I know what you're thinking, and I know you're not feeling well, but sweetheart, please understand me. This time, this is really the last time I'm helping her. As for whether she lives or dies after this, I won't have anything to do with it anymore. Can you not trust my words!"

She didn't answer, her face still cold.

He gently rested his chin on her soft, small shoulder. "I'm so tired after a long day!"

With a sigh, he gently rubbed her shoulder, noticing it moved slightly. Sure enough, she was no longer indifferent.

She must be reluctant to part with him!

"I've been busy all day, mostly dealing with Rong Qikeng. He's not easy to handle, I have to keep an eye on him at all times and can't let up. Today, I didn't even leave the office once, and I just had a quick meal in here. I'm so hungry, tired and hungry!"

He desperately wanted to evoke her pity, and in a weary voice, he continued.

"I was exhausted over there, and all I could think about was getting revenge on that guy. He even deserved it for the way he treated He Ya behind him. But what have you done You went out to eat a big meal with another man while I was starving and nearly fainted! When I heard this, I almost lost my temper. I didn't care about anything else, I dropped everything and rushed over here as fast as I could. But what do you do You start yelling at me the moment you see me. Little Sweetheart, are you trying to kill me"

He complained bitterly, his tone like that of a deeply wronged woman.

She must have felt heartbroken, listening to this, she also had a little bit of guilt, but she was unwilling to just let him lead her around by the nose. So, she still tried to scold him.

"This is all your fault, you brought this upon yourself. If you hadn't left that woman, I wouldn't be like this. Besides, your body is your own, whether you eat or not, it's none of my business. If you go hungry, don't blame me, it's not because I won't feed you! Don't push it too far!"

But you are not by my side, and you are quarreling with me, I can't eat!

His breath, warm on her neck, sent a shiver down her spine. It was both teasing and ticklish, stirring something within her heart.

Anyway, I don't care! She stubbornly stuck out her tongue.

He pursed his lips and let out a soft sigh.

"Good boy..."

tender and lingering.

She pressed her lips together, fighting hard to resist, but being held by him like this, so intimately, made her feel like she wouldn't be able to maintain her indifference to him any longer. So, she coldly changed the subject.

"What happened to Rong Qi Keng!"

Rong Ling didn't hide anything and explained everything one by one.

Before, when Rong Ling was forced out by his family, the biggest reason was that the clan members thought he had failed in business. Rong Qikeng at that time just stuck to this point and refused to let go, uniting with the elders of the clan and successfully forcing him out. But this was Rong Ling's strategy, he would leave, but he hated being chased away, even more so, he hated the elders of the clan who turned their faces mercilessly in an instant. He said he would give Rong Qikeng a big gift, and it was time now. Besides the fact that Mic company had completely extinguished Rong Qikeng's hope, before because of Rong Qikeng's personal insistence, he had forcefully stopped several projects that he had negotiated which seemed to be at a considerable loss. However, these projects he had abandoned, actually showed quite promising prospects and were already foreseen to bring in substantial profits. This proved that the "business failure" that he was bitten by Rong Qikeng and his group was actually non-existent, and even it could be said that Rong Qikeng and his group did not have his farsightedness at all.

The quality of a project can only be judged by its final performance, and you can only draw conclusions at the end!

Those projects that were axed by Rong Qikeng have been continuously bringing good news, which has caused a stir among the employees within YaDong Group. Rong Qikeng's competence has once again been questioned. Rong Qikeng is not stupid, he guessed that this was probably done by Rong Ling. He called and started berating him. But Rong Ling didn't have American time to be scolded; before Rong Qikeng could get his point across, he hung up the phone.

Go ahead and jump around freely!

Fight him another life!

Yes, everything was done by him, he admitted it openly. He wanted to let Rong Qikeng know that what Rong Ling was willing to give, he could accept; what Rong Ling was unwilling to give, even if others came to take it, they had to see if they had the ability to take it!

He felt discouraged at the time and, when he went abroad, he purposely didn't follow the itinerary. He privately contacted several company executives to conspire. These were all people he had worked with for many years. When he made his request, they were all willing to give him face, so several projects that should have been profitable transmitted unfavorable news one after another. At that time, he wanted to take advantage of this situation and, on the grounds of his own incompetence, ask the Rong family to let him go.

The people of Rong Family prioritize profit above all else. Whoever brings them massive profits, they will support wholeheartedly. He has achieved so much over the years; leaving wouldn't be as simple as him wanting to go. Although he sensed a coldness and lack of empathy within the Rong Family, he never expected it to manifest in such a callous way after this. His years of hard work became a pathetic joke before these heartless individuals.

So, he left, decisively and cleanly, without any hesitation, severing ties completely. Rong Qikeng cut off those projects with a short-sighted and direct stroke, it was his own fault, afterwards he would inevitably regret it to the point of remorse, and it could be foreseen that those elders in the clan would also regret it afterward, reprimanding Rong Qikeng profusely, that's when Rong Qikeng's true torment would begin.

As for the termination of negotiations with MIC company, it was due to Ronny Tong's uncompromising stance.

He is a member of the Rong family. He has lived in this family for so many years, and under the care of Uncle Rong San, and the support of those young generations in the clan, he still has some feelings for the Rong family. Moreover, the Rong family has developed to where it is today, and his blood and sweat are all mixed in it. He was unwilling to destroy his own hard work like this, so at that time, he just wanted to leave. Later, Rong Qikeng went too far and angered him, so he let Mic directly give the Rong family a heavy blow!

He was never a sentimental person to begin with, and the pressure from Rongjia had stripped him of his last vestiges of emotion. Therefore, in dealing with Rongjia, he could be as ruthless and merciless as he would be with a business rival.

Rong Qikeng's current situation is precarious. He and Rong Ling are destined to be at odds, as they clash like water and fire. Behind Rong Ling stands the powerful Shuangmu Group. Rong Qikeng has always been both resentful and afraid of Rong Ling, fearing that he will make a comeback and ruin him. Therefore, to cope with this unfavorable situation, Rong Qikeng spared no effort to actively seek new business and orders to salvage his precarious reputation. At the same time, he began to take revenge on Rong Ling, employing all sorts of methods. This is simply his nature – an eye for an eye.

Rong Ling said he stayed in the office all day. He wasn't lying to Lin Meng, but it wasn't because he was doing his best to fight Rong Qikang either. He didn't leave, first, to put on a show of suffering in front of Lin Meng. Because he knew his woman was soft-hearted, and at this time, if he didn't be cruel to himself and make himself look miserable, it would be difficult for her to get angry. Secondly, he didn't want to go back and face Li Lanqiu. Li Lanqiu did call him, but he politely declined, citing his busy work schedule.

She had problems, it wasn't just his suspicion anymore. The higher-ups had secretly informed him to be careful around Li Lanqiu. During times like this, "the higher-ups" meant he should prioritize concealing himself in all his actions and appropriately observe Li Lanqiu.

He really didn't want to think about it, how that once innocent, beautiful and serene woman would be involved with an M country agent. But since there was suspicion, some things had to be done. From receiving the notice from above to now facing this issue head-on, it had only been a few hours. There was doubt, disappointment, and even melancholy, but now his heart was as still as water, as if all of this was so natural.

Because, he is now holding Lin Meng and wants her.

Only with the woman in his arms could he be sure that she would never betray him. This trust ran deep, ingrained in his very bones, as inseparable from his breath as it was.

So, he was so sure that what she and Feng were doing was just a joke. In the end, it turned out to be exactly as he thought. But even if it was just a joke, he still felt uncomfortable inside. She belonged to him, she shouldn't show her alluring side to others.

You need to reflect on what just happened!

In this matter, he became very petty and couldn't help but bring it up again.

She "tched" dismissively, completely ignoring him.

He threatened her. "If you don't reflect properly and continue to act recklessly, I will lock you up until Li Lanqiu leaves!"

Her watery eyes widened immediately, and she stared at him fiercely.

"You're the one talking nonsense! You dare lock me up I'll make you pay for this!"

Given his indulgence, she became increasingly unrestrained and didn't think there was anything wrong with her words. Although compared to Rong Lingyi, she barely had any resources or influence. But this man had always doted on her so much that it was impossible for him to simply lock her up. Everything was just a helpless threat made out of frustration.

"I can't do anything to you, you know I wouldn't. But, I will make the men who mess with you cry their eyes out."

Seeing her anger, he dared not speak but only glared at him. He continued to threaten her. "If you don't believe me, you can try it. By the way, I'll also deal with any woman who messes with you. So, for Miao Qing's sake, stop bothering her and making trouble for me!"

By now, it's clear that Miao Qing had a hand in this whole affair.

She puffed up her cheeks, feeling like she was about to explode. How could there be such a despicable man in the world And she, of all people, had ended up with him. Now, every time they fought, he crushed her completely.

This is really infuriating.

"You can't keep bullying me like this, there are limits to what people will tolerate!"

With a frown, she turned her face away, pursed her lips, and chose silence.

He instantly pulled her close, his arm tightening around her waist, his cold eyes holding a dark intensity. After a moment, the darkness in his eyes slowly dissipated, and his face returned to normal. Still holding her close, he lowered his head and began gently kissing her earlobes, eyelids, cheeks, and ears.

She kept a straight face, trying hard to remain composed, but as he gently soothed her, she couldn't help but push him away with her hand, signaling him to stop touching her. But as she didn't speak, he just continued kissing her, treating her like a precious baby. It went on like this all the way until the car came to a halt.

"Stay right here and don't move! I'm going down there!"

He let her go, but she still ignored him.

He leaned in and kissed her lips before getting out of the car.

She pursed her lips, blushing and annoyed as she reached up to wipe at them.

He came back very quickly, but she still refused to look at him. She kept her face stony, as if angry with the whole world. However, things caught by the corner of her eye still forcefully entered her vision. He was back, holding a large bunch of flowers in his hands. They were bright red and vibrant, with a fragrant smell that filled the air. They were red roses.

"Cheers!"

This arrogant man, even when giving flowers to others, is so awkward. Just saying "giving" - such a stiff word! Couldn't he say "for you," or "to you"!

She ignored him, and he forcefully shoved the bouquet into her arms. Seeing her resolute refusal, he felt a little awkward and awkwardly touched his nose, then said softly.

I'm not used to giving flowers to others!

Is this him telling her he has special feelings for her!

"Here you go, you like this, don't you"

Miao Qing wasn't saying she was delighted to have received the flowers, even singing and humming a little tune, was she

The beautiful flower was hard not to like, especially with the man giving it. He rarely acted so awkwardly. Uncertainly, she hesitated and then fumbled her hands open, taking the flower into her embrace.

He let out a sigh of relief and pulled her back into his arms. That slightly childish display was certainly unlike him. She secretly inhaled the fragrance, truly wanting to appear nonchalant, but her spirits were undeniably lifted.

But good times don't last. Being domineering and arrogant is just this man's nature.

"Go back and throw all those flowers away!"

"What!"

"You can only accept my flowers!"

"What!"

"You have to listen to me."

"What the heck!"

He said nothing more. She let out a hum, extending her hand to gently play with the soft petals.

She actually didn't want to truly have a falling out with him, because there was no need. It was just Li Lanqiu; she was foolish to make even Rong Ling an outsider. Now, she was just giving him a little trouble, preventing him from being at ease and leaving him unable to spend time with Li Lanqiu. Li Lanqiu had injured her leg and now was just a patient confined to the house. The man just needed to refuse to go back and stay outside with her, that would be enough.

But, she will never just forgive him like that!

The place where he stopped was not Ruan's house, but a restaurant. He opened the car door and wanted to help her out.

"What are you doing" she asked fiercely.

"Go eat."

I have eaten.

"But I didn't eat."

Then you go eat yourself.

"Stay with me!"

"No!"

"Are you trying to starve me to death!" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

What!

Her eyes widened in disbelief at his baseless accusations.

"If you don't stay with me, I won't eat!"

What is this!

"I'd rather starve to death!"

My God!

What is he doing, so childish and irresponsible!

He got into the car, his face grim, and gave the driver a cold order.

"Let's drive!"

What are you doing!

She was getting a little impatient. "Since you're hungry, just go eat!"

He looked at her with cold eyes, accusingly silent and gloomy.

She just felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, she couldn't stand it anymore and let out a roar.

"Stop!"

The car, which had just been started, was turned off again.

"Go eat," she said. Her face darkened.

He opened the car door and strode out, standing outside the vehicle with a slight stoop. He silently stared at her, extending a large hand with his palm up, signaling for her to place her hand on it. She begrudgingly extended her hand, only to have him grasp it tightly the moment she reached him.

When ordering food, this man was again domineering and arrogant, pointing at things for her to eat, acting as if he was in complete control. That expression of familial strife had long since disappeared.

"I said, I'm full!"

"You can eat with other men and still feel comfortable and full!"

He stared at her with icy eyes, and she immediately wilted, falling silent! Because damn it, this man was right. She wasn't actually hungry; she just wanted to oppose him.

After the dishes were served, although he kept a calm facade, he was attentive and eager to serve. If he thought something tasted good, he would put it in her bowl, which made her feel very awkward.

"Come on, eat up! You're going to starve yourself."

"It's fine, I like watching you eat!"

She was speechless for a moment, her face involuntarily flushing.

I hate this kind of man the most. He knows she's not happy with him, but he insists on being domineering towards her and doesn't give her a chance to have a violent outburst!

This is terrible.

Finally, he could eat no more. His stomach was quite full. Only then did he let her go when she begged for mercy. She watched him eat so much, so quickly. It seemed, as he had said, he was truly starving. She felt a pang of sympathy for him, but the moment it appeared on her face, she forced herself to suppress it.

After finishing his meal, he asked the restaurant to pack up two desserts, saying he would take them back as a late-night snack for the two little ones. Her face immediately fell, replaced with utter dejection. Thinking of their two innocent faces, her heart ached with a sharp pang.

She wants two small ones!

He was deliberate in his actions, seizing the opportunity immediately and taking advantage of it to speak.

"The two little ones miss you and want you to come back home with me. They don't eat well or stay warm without you."

She bit her lip, torn.

He took the two small dessert boxes and shoved them into her hand.

"You take this back to them, they'll be over the moon."

She thought of the two rosy little faces, both smiling brightly at her, and her heart softened.

"Little one..." He took the opportunity to call her softly, hugging her as he walked out. After getting in the car, he didn't say anything, just a look, and the driver understood where they were going next. The car drove in the direction of home, Rong Ling hugged Lin Meng, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

Suddenly, she jerked awake and sat bolt upright.

"Where are we going!"

He questioned in an irritated tone, giving neither the passenger nor the driver a chance to reply, and simply said, "Go to the Ruan family!"

Turning back, glaring at Rong Ling, fiercely.

"If you dare to let my son go hungry or without warm clothes, I'll make you pay!"

After finishing, he burrowed back into her arms with a prickly sigh and half-closed his eyes.

She wouldn't be tricked that easily!

Okay, that's the end of Rong Ling's kidnapping plan. It's a complete failure!

Rong Ling felt a tinge of annoyance in her heart. After receiving the driver's somewhat awkward gaze, she nodded at him.

Then, the car turned and drove towards our house.

He and Lin Meng returned to the Ruan family together, but Ruan Chengyang and Ruan Chenghui were unhappy. Ruan Chenghui, being older and more experienced in society, could only express his displeasure with Rong Ling through his eyes. Ruan Chengyang, still a child at heart, immediately became impolite and blurted out his disapproval.

"How did you get here!"

Rong Ling ignored him, acting like the master of this house, swaggering in. After nodding at Ruan Cangsheng briefly, she went straight upstairs.

Lin Meng was pulled by Ruan Chengyang.

"Mommy, what's he doing here" Ruan Chengyang asked in a small voice.

Lin Meng shrugged her shoulders.

"You shouldn't have let him follow you. He's a terrible person and should be ignored forever."

"He should be ignored." Ruan Chenghui agreed, only to be glared at by his grandfather. Ruan Chenghui then shut up.

"Matters between a married couple are none of your business, you youngsters. "

"Ruan Chengyang grumbled unhappily. As the youngest of three children at home, and being spoiled since childhood, he didn't take his grandfather's words seriously. He grabbed Lin Meng and began to criticize Rong Ling in a casual manner."

When Rong Ling came down holding a large bouquet of roses, she stood there, gazing at him meaningfully. Even with the beautiful flowers by her side, he looked like an unsheathed sword standing tall. The deep red roses seemed to highlight how this sword was drinking blood silently, sending shivers down one's spine. Ruan Chengyang met that gaze and felt a chill run through his whole body. In the end, he was speechless and could only purse his lips, staring blankly.

Rong Ling received the gaze full of pressure, and on his own, he carried the rose out of the door and threw it into the trash can. Then everyone sat on the sofa, watching this most elegant and noble man, like a porter, going back and forth upstairs and downstairs, carrying bouquet after bouquet of roses. In the end, even the roses in a crystal vase on the side of the sofa were taken away by him and thrown out.

These are all gifts Feng Tan has given me!

Everyone has also noticed that little bit of meaning!

Lin Meng's mouth twitched, she really wanted to laugh.

This cold-hearted man, occasionally making such unbelievable actions, why does it make people feel so adorable!

Turning back, he strode in with another bouquet of roses. This one was naturally for Lin Meng. He plucked one from the bunch and inserted it into the empty crystal vase. Then, he handed the bouquet to her.

"Take them upstairs and plug them in!"

He just says whatever comes to mind!

She didn't want to, but he suddenly bent down and kissed her forehead. Then, he looked at her so deeply, with such seriousness, that she was almost moved!

Well, I'll give him some face in front of others!

Thinking this, she took the flower and stood up. He laughed, not a reserved smile but one that spread widely, revealing all his teeth.

She's embarrassed again!

Why are you laughing!

Look at him, so proud!

"Humph, she's just being kind and doesn't want him to be too embarrassed. So he better treat her twice as well!"

Lost in thought, she went upstairs and put the remaining roses into the vase on her bedside table. As for the other vases, she rinsed them briefly and put them away.

11 roses, represent one-minded love.

One rose, representing you as my one and only.

10 roses, representing perfection.

Such a smelly man, could he possibly understand these words!

She thought, he definitely doesn't understand!

Humph!

So, the one who's going to make a fuss will still make a fuss. Feng Tan is easily intimidated by him, but there's still Xiao Yi, isn't there But before she even needed to call on Xiao Yi, Jiang Chengfeng forcefully intervened, leaving her no room to even put on a show.

Rong Ling was really getting anxious, but she didn't have time to care about his emotions. of her buttocks!She was surprised, angry, ashamed, and panicked. Who would do such a thing!At last, when he shifted his lips to catch his breath, she found her voice again. She growled lowly, "Rong L...
