n indulgently held Little Mumumu, and the group began walking towards Rong Sanbo's study.When Rong Sanbo was just one step away from Rong Ling, he stopped and reprimanded him in a deep voice."Aren't y...Heya and Rongling's conversation was straightforward. Heya asked Rongling to continue their pretense of being a couple, essentially using each other as shields.

"Big brother, the newspaper reported about us a while back, so my family has been getting a bit worried. (..tw good looking novel) I guess because I'm not young anymore, it's time for me to get married. They've been urging me pretty hard these days. I know you don't have plans to get married right now, and I feel the same way. I think we should just stick to what we agreed on before: if either of us gets married, our agreement ends there. But if we both stay single, we can help each other cover things up a little bit, what do you think"

He Ya's performance this time was quite intellectual and beautiful. She spoke frankly and didn't hold back. As the daughter of a wealthy family, she had the capital to do so. Speaking so openly and honestly, on the contrary, earned her admiration from others.

Rong Ling frowned slightly, deep in thought.

He Ya didn't expect to persuade Rong Ling in just a few words. She continued, "Brother Rong, I like you, and you probably feel it too. If I could marry you, that would be my hope, but since you've already made your position so clear, I wouldn't want to be shameless. While I like you, it's not to the point where I can't live without you. Besides, I'm not a bad catch, I'm sure I could find someone else if needed."

Right now, I only need your help. Things at home are getting a bit urgent. The moment I said that things with you are unclear, they became quite anxious. Hehe, Brother Rong, your terms are right here, and it's hard for anyone to have better conditions than you. My family wants me to have a good future, so they would definitely prioritize yours. So, a while ago, I went around and asked some of the elders in your family about your stance. I don't know if you know about this, but let me tell you, please don't take offense. My family did all this for my own good. Of course, I only found out about these things later.

My family found out that I haven't gotten married yet, and their thoughts have cooled down a bit. Recently, they've started setting me up on blind dates. But looking at those so-called young talents, I find them annoying. They are all gold plated on the outside but rotten inside, not to my liking at all. So I need you to be a shield for me for a while, while I look around and see if I can find someone who can live with me and get married. Of course――

She smiled suddenly. "If Rongge suddenly wanted to marry me, I would definitely say yes. However, before I turn 30, I definitely have to get married. Otherwise, I'll definitely become an outdated leftover woman, which would surely make others laugh out loud. If Rongge has that idea, he'd better tell me sooner rather than later, otherwise, it's past the deadline!"

She mischievously winked at Rong Ling, her expression so beautiful it was almost unbelievable. This was the demeanor of a wealthy heiress—free-spirited, magnanimous, and decisive!

"How about it, Rongge It's just a small request from your little sister. You wouldn't refuse, would you" Her eyes were filled with smiles!

With things having come to this, Rong Ling would surely not refuse!

It has to be said, He Ya's move of "retreating to advance" is really high!

How could He Jia's little actions escape Rong Ling's eyes! If He Ya didn't explain these things sooner, there would inevitably be a rift between them. By speaking up now, he would look down on her, thinking she was "innocent"!

Playing the role of a shield for her temporarily wouldn't be difficult. Rong Ling could agree to it, it could be seen as gratitude for her care over the past few years!

"No problem, same as always. Besides, if you need some introductions, I can hook you up!" he said, rarely cracking a joke like this.

"He Yao shook her head. 'No, thank you. I'd rather find it myself. If I find it myself, it will be meant to be! Besides, I believe in fate!'

She smiled softly, as if she was truly daydreaming about something. Then she pouted her lips, like a little sister, and stuck out a finger, pointing at Rong Ling.

"Hey, Rongge, I'm asking you, with me being so pretty, smart and generous, how come you haven't been completely charmed by me!"

This look of hers, it's as if she has truly automatically stepped into the position of the little sister next door!

"This doesn't seem threatening, so Rong Ling softened her expression and teased back, 'Who knows'"

Before Lin Meng appeared, He Ya was to Rong Ling just like a younger sister he could spoil. Their interactions were also quite carefree and familiar! He Ya putting these words out here brought back a long-lost feeling akin to familial affection, which surfaced in Rong Ling's mind. This made him feel much lighter!

He Ya looked at Rong Ling disdainfully, rolled her eyes, and softened, half collapsing onto his bed. Her appearance was as disorganized as it had been before they entered into a relationship of love and intimacy!

Rong Ling, upon seeing this, his eyes flickered but he said nothing. Afterward, He Ya inquired about Rong Ling's injury, stating that if necessary, the He family could offer assistance in finding a solution. Rong Ling politely declined. She then asked Rong Ling about a young man, who seemed to be her next potential suitor. Rong Ling knew this person; he had been studying abroad previously and recently returned to China to take over his family business. Among a circle of wealthy young men, this person's character was still considered good, or perhaps, hadn't been corrupted by the circle yet.

He Ya left with a satisfied expression, naturally not forgetting to remind Rong Ling that after his injury healed, she would take her for a joyride. Rong Ling readily agreed, just like before Lin Meng appeared. Only after He Ya left, Rong Ling narrowed his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing in them. If everything was really as He Ya said, and she let go, then naturally it would be all right. But if it wasn't --

Rong Ling smiled playfully, Whoever dared to play tricks on him would naturally be played with by him!

This man's tenderness is limited. At his core, he is cold and ruthless!

He sat on the bed for a while, but he didn't wait for that little woman to come in. He called Miaoqing and the result he learned made him very unhappy! That little woman just walked away! Wasn't she supposed to go out first Who let her leave!

"Hey!" He called Lin Meng directly. "Come back quickly, don't wander around!"

His tone was harsh and authoritarian, like a domineering patriarch!

"I'm going back!" Lin Meng said flatly.

"What are you going back for! I still have to change my dressing tonight! Who's going to cook dinner if you leave! Do you want me to starve to death!" This man was acting like a spoiled child, arrogantly questioning her.

Lin Meng coldly snorted without any disguise. "You have so many subordinates, and you can't find one who can change your bandages for you. Besides, I believe that without me, you would definitely be able to live very well!"

"What do you mean!" His voice dropped, laced with anger.

She bit her lip, lazily leaning against the car seat, answering vaguely. "If you're really out of food, I can give you a fast-food number!"

"Do you think I'm a pig! All you can think about is eating! I let you come back, so you should know what I mean. Don't play dumb with me!"

"Don't come back!" she pouted, giving a soft hum. "I'm not in the mood now and don't want to see you. You should understand this, right!"

He raised an eyebrow, his expression of astonishment undeniable. This woman, she was too straightforward! She really dared to say it out loud! To be able to speak so righteously in front of him after getting angry, there was only one such little vixen!

He chuckled, a hint of warmth in his eyes, and said teasingly, "What's the matter Someone get on your nerves"

"You know it," she replied lazily.

"Jealous"

Lin Meng gritted her teeth, her brow twitching rapidly, her voice turning cold. "You're very pleased with yourself, aren't you!"

Immediately, a low chuckle came from the other end of the phone, deep like a cello playing.

He rarely smiles like this.

"Little one, don't be angry, come back quickly!"

"No!"

"There's nothing between me and her, we just talked a little bit. She's already gone. Come back here right now!"

"No!"

His patience was limited, as was his tenderness. Unable to be coaxed, a smile vanished from his face and his voice took on a hint of coldness.

"Don't be unreasonable and come back to me immediately!"

"I'm not being unreasonable, I just want to go home! You can't even let me return to my own house, can you!"

"What kind of nonsense!" He started getting angry. For this little woman, he'd laid everything out so clearly for He Ya, and now he was drawing the line. He'd already done enough for her. But this little woman was too shameless, she was just taking advantage!

Thinking about it this way, his heart turned cold. He had already done quite a bit, but what had that little woman done! She was still Mrs. Ruan, still talking about going home, still saying she'd leave whenever she pleased, so free and easy!

Upon comparison, his pupils constricted slightly, sensing danger! He hadn't realized it, but he had been led around by this woman. Unknowingly, he had paved so many roads for her! And she, on the other hand, stood still, firmly seated at the fishing platform, waiting for him, this foolish fish, to blunder headfirst onto her hook!

He immediately stiffened, slowly sitting up.

“Lin Meng, I made you come back!” His tone was a little gloomy. Giving should be mutual. He had done so much for her, she also had to do something. Just asking her to stay with him, wouldn’t that make things difficult for her Wouldn't it make her suffer a bit

"No!"

The two words, gentle yet stubborn, exploded in his ears once again, causing his thin lips to immediately purse. A chill spread rapidly across his face, and his voice followed suit, becoming sharp.

"Lin Meng, Mrs. Ruan, remember who you are now! As long as you remain Mrs. Ruan, you have no right to act like this!"

Lin Meng gasped in agitation, biting his lip hard.

"You... you're right!" she replied with difficulty, pausing for a moment, her expression easing. "So, I'm not meant to stay, am I!"

He wants to curse!

This woman is so difficult to deal with, she's really a pain in the ass!

“You left everything before, what are you pretending now! Want to draw a line between us You don’t even dream about it!” He scolded her coldly, ruthlessly criticizing her without mercy. “Don't act like a little girl, you're not young anymore, you're already a mother! This kind of behavior is embarrassing! I tell you, come back now.”“Those three brats at the Ruan family don’t know that you run to me every day. If you go back, they can feel at ease! Can they cover up their intentions! They aren't your own sons, what are you going back for!” He paused, adding sarcastically, “You know, I thought there was something going on between you two…”

Rong Ling abruptly shut her mouth and frowned heavily. This criticism was too satisfying, she had even been reckless with her words! All the resentful things she'd held in her heart had just flown out! This wasn't a good thing at all!

He immediately followed up with a quick, veiled remark. "Alright, come back soon. I'm waiting for your dinner. It won't taste as good without you making it."

"Eat yourself!" Lin Meng coldly snarled into the phone and hung up. Didn't she hear that insulting remark!

That dead man, with his filthy thoughts, hasn't changed at all! He still thinks like this, so she acts like a dog, coming and going whenever he calls, circling him endlessly. Such servility must be quite laughable in his eyes!

He doesn't even have basic respect for her, so where could there be any talk of love!

That side was also angry, the only one who dared to hang up on him was that arrogant woman! It's true that she shines when given sunlight, that woman is simply upside down!

He yanked the covers off and jumped out of bed, dialing again. The first time, she didn't answer. A chill went through him. He dialed again.

Lin Meng picked up, thinking to herself that if he apologized for this, she could forgive him a little. However, what came next was the man's cold and icy words, laced with sarcasm.

"I'm still holding back on what I really think. You should go out and ask around yourself. What do people say about you and your three sons You're a single woman living alone with them! And you know how you look, with that seductive appearance. Don't worry about what others think. I asked you to come back so that you could spend less time with those young men. Could that possibly harm you! You really think you're their mother Come back here immediately! This is the last time I'm saying this."

Lin Meng's face was slightly pale with anger, her teeth clenched so tightly from suppressing her rage that her gums ached.

"How did I end up looking so alluring"

"Look in the mirror yourself!" he said impatiently, his voice cold and sharp.

Lin Mengqi's chest heaved rapidly, her small fists clenching tightly. Didn't this man know that "fox spirit" was a derogatory term Did he actually think of her that way! Did he think she was a fox demon!

No man who truly cares would compare his woman like this!

"Hee hee..." A smile of anger flickered across her face, her eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of alluring charm appearing within them, though he couldn't see it.

"Róng Líng!" she pouted, her voice a low murmur, as if lost in desire. With a hint of seduction, her voice, husky and soft, slowly asked him, "Have I tempted you"

As if her alluring figure pressed against his, and as if her soft tongue licked his earlobe, he was stunned. His heart skipped a beat, and his lower abdomen felt a strange warmth.

And she quickly hung up the phone, turned her head to look out the window, stopped smiling, and her eyes began to turn cold.

He swallowed nervously, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. His eyes dimmed with a strange light.

That is desire!

He was provoked by her!ng Chengfeng! If the two of them really reached that point, what should she do!Lin Meng felt pain. As soon as she thought about it, she felt like her heart was being squeezed tightly by a hand, aching...
