ther woman outside and later gave birth to Lin Meng. Under Lin Mu's influence, Lin Zi had disliked Lin Meng from a young age because of the extra member in their family. She tormented Lin Meng relent...Although it was a hard-won victory, Lin Meng was still quite happy that they had accomplished their goal. The only thing left was to call home and let them know, so they wouldn't have wasted their time.

Lin Bao answered the phone and was stunned when he heard that Lin Meng was going out to play with Rong Ling. However, he couldn't let Lin Meng cancel the date either. He went home to eat specifically, but just facing Rong Ling, Lin Bao didn't have the courage to get involved. Besides, in Lin Bao's view, Rong Ling's idea of taking Lin Meng out to play also meant that the relationship between the two was developing well, and Rong Ling always had his own little daughter in his heart, which was something for Lin Bao to comfort himself with.

According to Lin Bao's original plan, he wanted Lin Meng to have a family reunion dinner and enjoy herself before taking the opportunity to ask Rong Ling to stop pressuring him. He suggested that Lin Meng bring Rong Ling home as much as possible, which conveyed this meaning. After all, Lin Meng was the guest of honor that day; she was the oldest, so if she made a request, Rong Ling couldn't possibly refuse her face.

"I want to go out and play!" — Lin Bao sighed softly in his heart. It wasn't quite what he had expected. He pondered for a moment, then came up with an idea.

"Dreamy, about Dad's building project in that new development, you try to talk to Rong Ling, okay Tomorrow is a good day for you, Rong Ling should agree."

Lin Meng frowned, not surprised that her father would make this request, so she was very embarrassed. "Dad, Rong Ling doesn't let me talk about this, he... must have arrangements!"

Lin Bao felt anger rise within him. Arrangements What arrangements They were just trying to force him to stop working. But he kept his voice down and softened his tone: "Meng Meng, this isn't a big deal, Dad. It's not about asking Rong Ling for anything, it's just asking him to show some mercy and say a few words, letting the construction material suppliers continue to deliver as usual. You see, it's not difficult at all, is it!"

"I..."

"You're never willing to see your father lose his appetite over this, are you!" Lin Bao's voice became heavier, playing the family card. "Your father was also forced into a corner that day. At the time, he didn't expect Rong Ling to be so formidable. Otherwise, your father would have gone to find Rong Ling long ago, and there wouldn't be a need to grovel to others like this. Later, when he arrived in time, your father was also quite happy for you, and in the end, nothing happened to you. After all, I am still your father, and him being good with you now counts as me being your half-father-in-law. There's no reason for a son-in-law to make things difficult for his father-in-law! You wouldn't want to see your father keep hitting a wall like this, would you"

Lin Meng lowered her eyes, but didn't know how to answer.

"Lin Bao softened his tone. "Meng Meng, just help your father, okay You're the eldest daughter, you hold the most authority. Rong Ling will definitely agree to you; it's just a matter of a few words! What do you say, sweetheart"

Lin Meng thought of Lin Bao's old face, and her heart softened a little. She was the only child of this father, how could she bear to see him suffer!

"I..." she bit her lip. "I'll try my best!"

Then Lin Bao was instantly delighted.

"But Lin Meng immediately added, "I can't guarantee I can persuade him either."

Lin Bao, however, didn't care. "It's nothing, you spoke up yourself, he always listens. Dad depends on you, good girl!"

Saying that, he excitedly hung up the phone, afraid she would change her mind.

Lin Meng held her phone, starting to feel conflicted! She thought back and forth, but had no idea. All she could do was put aside these worries; tomorrow's June 1st was still something she looked forward to and was excited about.

Lin Meng's original plan was to go to a place like the amusement park built in the city for hundreds of millions of new yuan. However, because she wasn't sure if she could persuade Rong Ling before, she hesitated about buying tickets. Just one ticket cost 188 yuan for adults, and two would be almost four hundred yuan, which was a considerable amount for her, fearing it would be wasted if she bought it and didn't go. By the time she finally persuaded Rong Ling, it was already too late.

That amusement park is very popular, you have to buy tickets at least a week in advance every time. Buying tickets on the day is impossible, especially during peak seasons like Children's Day on June 1st. So she changed her mind and decided to go to the park tomorrow, take a stroll, then go to the food court, and later visit some famous historical residences and royal buildings in the city. In the evening, she could catch a movie. That way, she could fill her day with activities.

But what he didn't expect was that when Rong Ling came back in the evening, he brought back two amusement park tickets, and they were VIP tickets! It seemed like with these tickets, you could play all the games in the park!

Holding the amusement park ticket, she immediately beamed and exclaimed, "How did you know I wanted to go to the amusement park!"

She felt like he was a mind reader, knowing exactly what she was thinking.

He just smiled, pretending not to know!

The next day, it was finally June 1st. She skipped happily with her small bag, two amusement park tickets tucked away, and holding onto his arm, they set off for the amusement park. The weather was perfect that day, clear skies with no clouds, ideal for a trip out.

With the same height of hair, the same sunglasses covering half her face, and a clean white short sleeve and black shorts, she once again became a playful girl who was both cool and charming! Rong Ling followed her, wearing a light gray short shirt, casual pants, and black and white sneakers. The whole person was steady but not solemn, tough but not cold. It seemed like a young man who had just entered society. He looked much younger all of a sudden, but he was still handsome enough to make the world pale in comparison. With his purple-black sunglasses, he appeared particularly cool, making Lin Meng's eyes light up. She took a bite on his face and giggled.

Rong Ling drove the car. When they arrived, it was past nine o'clock. At that time, the playground was already very lively. Looking from afar, you could see people coming and going everywhere. Most of them were parents holding or carrying one or two children. It seems that this newly built playground is very popular!

No problem, since you're here, let's play! Starting from the entrance, go deep inside. Lin Meng rarely has such a chance to have fun, so naturally, she'll try everything that can be played. A VIP ticket also has another good point: no need to queue up to buy tickets, just take the ticket and you can start playing, it's simply amazing.

Here's a further explanation: regular tickets allow you to play ten out of the dozen or so games within the amusement park. However, some particularly popular and expensive games require you to buy separate tickets inside the park!

After playing several warm-up games, Lin Meng was giggling with glee. She looked radiant, her pretty face flushed red, almost as vibrant as the excited kids at an amusement park. Her carefree demeanor even brought a smile to the man beside her. His usual serious expression softened considerably in this moment.

"Let's go play on the flying swing!"

Lin Meng pointed at the tourists who were screaming and waving wildly in mid-air, her expression full of passion. Rong Ling didn't say anything, very indulgently allowing her to drag him by the arm.

"Uncle Rong... Uncle Rong..."

The little girl's voice, though a bit shrill, was mostly sweet and innocent. The sound came closer, but Lin Meng didn't notice. Only Rong Ling frowned slightly and paused his steps.

"What's wrong!" Lin Meng smiled and turned back, then heard a very clear voice of a little girl, with urgency. "Uncle Rong... Uncle Rong..."

When she followed the sound, she was immediately stunned.

Four people walking in the distance, she only knew one of them, but—that was enough!

Hey Ya!

How is it her again!

In her mind, the image of He Ya hanging provocatively on Rong Ling that day flashed by. A sudden discomfort welled up within her. The radiant smile plastered on her face dimmed instantly.

When the four of them got closer, the little girl who kept shouting "Uncle Rong" rushed towards Rong Ling like a rocket, her hands outstretched, signaling for Rong Ling to hug her. (..tw) Rong Ling didn't disappoint her, broke free from Lin Meng's hand, squatted down, and picked up the little girl, holding her high in the air. The little girl giggled with excitement, her mouth chattering incessantly. "Uncle Rong, my little aunt said you had something important to do and couldn't play with me, but how come you're here! My little aunt is mean, she lied to me!"

When these words were spoken, He Ya and the others arrived. The little girl's "little aunt" was He Ya. When she heard the little girl say this, she took over the conversation, giggling and explaining: “Bingbing, how could your little aunt lie to you Your Uncle Rong really said he had something important to do!”

Her head tilted, He Yaya pouted her lips and stared at Rong Ling playfully, with a hint of anger in her eyes: "Oh, Rong Gege, I thought you had something important to do, so you canceled our date. Who knew that you actually came here to play yourself Hmph, you really pissed me off!"

"Well, yeah, I'm so mad!" The little girl, who looked about four or five years old, continued He Ya's words, and let out a coquettish hum, turning her head away and acting very angry with her pores facing the sky!

A rare awkwardness appeared on Rong Ling's face. He reached out and hugged the little girl, actually coaxing her softly. "Alright, Bingbing don't be angry, it was Uncle Rong's fault. Uncle Rong apologizes to you, obedient, don't be angry!"

He rarely appeared like this, like a model gentleman. Lin Meng's eyes widened in surprise as she stared at him, wondering if someone else had taken over his body. He gently held the little girl, showing no coldness whatsoever. His movements were very skilled, as if he had held her hundreds of times. If you didn't know any better, you'd think he was her father! Luckily, Lin Meng was wearing sunglasses, otherwise, her wide-eyed look would have been quite noticeable.

He Ya raised an eyebrow and continued to hum in a pretended displeasure. "Rong Ge, since we've caught you, there's no escaping this. Hehe, today is your destined downfall!"

"Hmm, yeah, it's destined to be ours!" The little girl was like a rapping parrot, echoing everything He Ya said. Her rosy cheeks flushed, her big black eyes fluttered rapidly, sparkling as she stared at Rong Ling.

Rong Ling nodded, this was considered consent.

The woman on one side, who looked rather like a young wife, said with some apology, "Rongling, I hope I'm not disturbing you!"

One side scolded the little girl. "Bingbing, come down quickly!"

but did not reach out to hug the little girl.

"It's fine!" Rong Ling said softly, though she didn't let go.

The little girl then turned and made a silly face at the woman. She said in a sweet voice, "Mommy, I wouldn't disturb Uncle Rong. Uncle Rong said he wanted to play with Bingbing, right Uncle Rong!"

The little girl looked at Rong Ling with a charming smile. Rong Ling nodded slightly.

The little girl immediately shouted with joy again, her small body bouncing excitedly in Rong Ling's arms. Rong Ling indulged her, protecting her back with one hand to prevent her from falling.

The young wife, or rather the little girl's mother, was shaking her head on one side, looking quite helpless at this delicate little girl. She softly explained to Rong Ling about this unexpected encounter.

“Originally, we were planning to take Bingbing to the Ocean Park, but she has been there several times and found it uninteresting. She has already visited most of the amusement parks in City B. Coincidentally, the girl mentioned that there's a newly opened amusement park here, so we brought Bingbing over!”

The girl is He Ya, that's what everyone in her family calls her. Her sister-in-law is Li Yi Ping, and she is also called "Shao Fu" (meaning "young mistress"). Shao Fu's husband, He Zhan Su, who is also He Ya's older brother, was both a childhood friend and former comrade-in-arms with Rong Ling, their relationship runs deep. He Zhan Su is currently serving in the military. Even though there are holidays like Children's Day on June 1st when most people get a break, the military doesn't. Four-year-old Bing Bing wanted to celebrate Children's Day and go out to play. Since her father was at work, He Ya asked Rong Ling to take Bing Bing out to play that day. However, things took an unexpected turn when Rong Ling suddenly changed his mind.He Zhan Su's family lives in city B and they were supposed to be playing there as well. But by pure coincidence, all of them ended up at this newly opened amusement park in city J, where they unexpectedly encountered Rong Ling!

"Let's go, let's go!" Little girl Bingbing loved this "Uncle Rong" the most. As soon as she saw him, she got excited and shouted that she wanted to play, thus saving a few adults from the awkwardness of introductions. Rong Ling, with a certain special feeling, also doted on this little girl, practically fulfilling her every wish. He had originally made plans for a date but felt guilty towards the little girl. Now that he bumped into her, he couldn't possibly prioritize anything else. Indeed, he took the little girl and went to play.

Mrs. Li Yi-ping and He Ya hurried to catch up. At this time, there were two people who were ignored, one was Lin Meng, and the other was the tall man who came with He Ya. The man looked to be in his mid-twenties or so, very strong. Although his appearance could barely be considered handsome, his smiling eyes made him much more attractive. This man wouldn't make anyone feel disgusted!

Lin Meng and he, fell to the end of the queue together. Although the man had a lazy smile on his face, he didn't seem like someone easy to get along with. At least so far, even though he walked beside Lin Meng, he hadn't said a word to him.

At the front, He Ya shouted loudly. "It's unfair! Rong Ge has a VIP ticket, we don't have one, and we still have to queue up to buy tickets!"

Actually, the ticket booths inside amusement parks are generally pretty easy to buy tickets from. You can usually get a ticket in less than a minute, but today is a holiday and there are a lot of people here, so even the ticket booths have long lines.

He Yana was there holding Rong Ling's ticket and complaining, her eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled. "Hee hee, since Brother Rong has a VIP ticket, then Lin Meng does too!"

After finishing, he ran to Lin Meng's front and rudely extended his hand towards Lin Meng. "Lin Meng, take out your amusement park ticket. Let Rong Gege and Bingbing play first, we'll queue up to buy tickets and play later!"

Lin Meng could feel Rong Ling's fondness for the little girl. At least since just now, Rong Ling had been holding the little girl. Rong Ling was usually very averse to physical contact in public, but now he was doing this, which showed how important the little girl was to him. Moreover, the little girl was rosy and cute, and she spoke in a milky voice. Lin Meng also liked children, so even though she didn't like He Ya's commanding tone, she didn't hesitate to take out her amusement park ticket and give it to He Ya. Then He Ya threw a regular amusement park ticket back to Lin Meng.

A regular ticket allows you to play ten designated rides for free, but for some more popular ones, you'll need to queue up and buy a separate ticket. For example, bumper cars are currently very popular with children and young couples.

With the VIP passes in hand, the little girl excitedly dragged Rong Ling to go play bumper cars. Outside, there were four adults left, three women and one man. He Ya tilted her head and asked the man to buy tickets. The man took the tickets for all four of them, didn't say anything, and walked away. Li Yiping also smiled and quickly followed, joining the man in line to buy tickets.

Lin Meng originally wanted to go, but didn't want to trouble others. However, Li Yiping stopped her, claiming that two people going to buy tickets was enough, and then went with the man with laughter and conversation. Leaving her and He Ya there, watching Rong Ling and Bingbing who had already gotten on the bumper cars!

The parking lot was bustling with parents and children. Even the sunglasses that were being worn to block out the sun had been taken off by Bingbing, who hung them on top of her head. The little girl grinned, staring at the violet-black sunglasses, looking a bit mischievous, but it must be said, they were quite stylish! She looked so cute and playful. Her rosy cheeks seemed to outshine those of all the other children!

Lin Meng looked at Rong Ling holding Bingbing in his arms, controlling the bumper car with a gentle touch. He was surprised to see that Rong Ling, who usually seemed so cold, could be so tender and caring towards a child, playing such childish games!

As if it were a different world's oppression!

It is familiar, yet strangely unfamiliar!

The two stood for a moment, He Ya moved, but walked to Lin Meng's rear, abruptly calling out: "Lin Meng!"

Lin Meng turned back in puzzlement, seeing He Ya looking at her as if she had something to say. She politely turned to face her and smiled, asking, "What is it"

Thus, she turned her back on Rong Ling.

He Ya smiled faintly, taking half a step forward. She stretched out her hand, her fingertips lightly touching the edge of Lin Meng's glasses. She curled her lips, her smile still faint, but the words that came out of her beautiful lips were anything but warm. They were cold like a knife, venomous as if they were a curse.

"Lin Meng, you're someone who can't even get on stage!"

Lin Meng's heart sank at once. However, He Ya paused for a moment before continuing, "You can only rely on wearing these shady sunglasses and standing beside Rong Ge, using some low-brow tactics to compete with others for him. I wonder how long you can tie down Rong Ge with this kind of body Hmph, don't say I didn't warn you, women who use their bodies to bind men won't last long, especially men like Rong Ge who are used to all kinds of women!"

Lin Meng's face instantly turned as white as a sheet. At that moment, bathed in He Ya's sharp, piercing smile, she felt an indescribable sense of shame. The sunglasses she adored suddenly became something that made her shiver after passing through He Ya's mouth. A surge of impulse welled up within her – she wanted to rip off her own sunglasses and smash them onto the ground, screaming at this girl before her, telling her she was nothing to be ashamed of!

She trembled, her hand shaking, but in the end she didn't have the courage to take off the sunglasses that had suddenly become so heavy.

He Ya smiled, retracted her hand that was resting on Lin Mengjing's shoulder, and walked away. To outsiders, she appeared to be smiling warmly and talking to someone else, they would never imagine she had just uttered such hurtful words!

When He Ya brushed past Lin Meng, she couldn't help but turn her head slightly, facing half towards Lin Meng, and hissed hatefully, "Scumbag!"

If this wasn't the case, she definitely would have rushed over and slapped Lin Meng a few times! She never expected that the person who Rong Ling pushed aside to go on a date with her would be Lin Meng, that Lin Meng who she looked down upon yet couldn't help but be jealous of!

The agreement for the June 1st date was made. Rong Ling, if he agreed to something, wouldn't back out under normal circumstances. He Ya excitedly waited for Rong Ling to return to city B and then took Bingbing out to play together, appearing as a happy family of three in the eyes of others. But Rong Ling, who never went back on his word, suddenly broke the promise. He called, claiming there was an important matter that prevented him from keeping the date. He Ya thought about how big Rong Ling's family business was, perhaps he really had something urgent to attend to. Although she complained a bit over the phone, she still agreed to his cancellation. But she never expected that the "important matter" Rong Ling mentioned was actually accompanying another woman out to play!

Darn it!

She actually let this woman get on top of her!

Even with her and Bingbing together, they still couldn't compare to this woman.

She always knew Bingbing's place in Rongling's heart, so she proposed taking Bingbing out to play on June 1st, confident that Rongling would agree. Now, well, a Cheng Yaojin has appeared!

It's infuriating, simply infuriating!

When she suddenly saw Rong Ling's figure at the playground, she thought she was seeing things. But when she took a closer look, she saw that woman with her arms around Rong Ling's, and she was about to blow her top!

This woman is simply too hateful!

He Yaben wanted to bear it, but she really couldn't help it! Because, she felt the danger! Besides her, no woman had ever been able to influence Rong Ling like this, but now, suddenly there was another Lin Meng!

So, she retaliated and humiliated Lin Meng as much as she could. Only then did she feel a little bit better.

Lin Meng remained standing there, in the scorching heat, a temperature of around thirty degrees. Yet, she felt an icy chill envelop her, as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She couldn't help but shiver involuntarily!e little guy's hand and was about to say goodbye to Rong Ling.Rong Ling coldly eyed her, and without waiting for her to speak, directly stated in an unrefusable tone, “Stay!”Piercing eyes, fixed on he...
