Jiang Yancheng any leverage!"Still keep a close watch and be wary of others. Don't let your guard down!"Xiao Yi gave the order, his men replied with an "understood", and hung up the phone.Xiao Yi nar...The woman's face possessed a classical oriental beauty. Her slightly furrowed brows gave her a look of gentle melancholy, arousing pity in the viewer. Her skin, somewhat pale, was accentuated by the bandage that could not be ignored, making her appear even more pitiful. Her lips were also devoid of much color, as if she had recently recovered from a serious illness.

Then, who is this woman!

Why are you here so late !

The woman had a slender figure, about 5'5" tall. She was very pretty. Even though she was sickly, her short sleeves and skirt couldn't hide her stunning figure, which would definitely turn heads over ninety percent of the time.

Lin Meng's appearance was exceptional, and she never felt inferior in front of others because of her looks. However, the woman before her was undeniably beautiful, surpassing even Lin Meng. Despite this, a strange sense of crisis arose within her.

"Rong Ling, this is…!"

She got up from the sofa, put down the financial reports in her hands, and walked over to Rong.

Rong Ling explained faintly, "An old friend!"

Old friend!

As for Lao Huangli, who has a history of bullying, Lin Meng knew some things about him, but not too much. For example, his childhood, his student days, and how he met and became sworn brothers with his several siblings. But she was never an impatient person; since they were married, she felt she had a lifetime to gradually get to know everything about him.

Now, no exception!

"Hello, please sit down!"

Lin Meng immediately and conscientiously took on the role of a gracious hostess, extending her hand to gesture toward the sofa and inviting her to sit. After all, this woman... well, she seemed rather weak!

The woman gave her a faint smile and softly said, "Thank you." Her voice was weak, but pleasant to hear. If she wasn't so sickly, that voice would have been very melodious. But the woman's "thank you" seemed somewhat hollow. She appeared like a frightened little girl who couldn't believe anyone, not directly accepting Lin Meng's kindness, instead turning her head to look at Rong Ling, her beautiful almond eyes blinking once.

"Could it be…" It seemed to be asking for Rong Ling's opinion.

Lin Meng's heart skipped a beat!

Her name is Rong!

Such an affectionate nickname, she herself hasn't even called this man that!

I felt a little uncomfortable inside.

Well, Rong Ling was following her words and said to the woman, "Have a seat!"

The woman then seemed as if she had received comfort from someone closest to her, and sat obediently.

I don't know if it was some psychological reason, Lin Meng leaned closer to Rong Ling, then reached out and hugged his arm in a familiar way, and glared at him.

"Rong Ling, not going to introduce your old friend!"

But the woman spoke first. "My name is Li Lanqiu, I am Rong's..."

"Old classmate!" Rong Ling readily took over the conversation.

The woman who claimed to be Li Lanqiu lowered her head. A noticeable pallor had appeared on her beautiful oval face, something that was impossible to conceal. Anyone with eyes could see it!

What are you doing!

Lin Meng's mind started to wander, then she hugged Rong Ling's arm tighter, so tight that Rong Ling couldn't help but notice. He quickly ushered Lin Meng out.

"Lin Meng, I... your wife!"

Although he only hesitated for about a second when he said the words "wife," Lin Meng still heard it.

A strange and inexplicable emotion surged within her, and she let out a delicate cry.

"Honey..."

The soft voice, stimulating his whole body to a slight numbness, made her heart flutter. This was the first time she called him like this. It should have been an awkward term, and he had never specifically asked her to call him that. But now, hearing it come from her lips, he found it unexpectedly pleasant! As if, to her, he was truly extraordinary.

His mind rippled with barely perceptible movement as he was, just like that, led away by this woman who appeared utterly fragile. He ended up seated on the sofa as she wished, beside little Youyou, while she sat nestled against him.

As for Xiao Haohuo, who was absent at this time, he had already been sent to Jiang Changhao's place. The child had been out for half a month, and now that he was back in the country, he had to connect with his biological father. Lin Meng didn't want Xiao Haohuo to become estranged from his father.

"Yoyo, call Aunt Li!"

Even though Xiaoyou appeared indifferent to outsiders, she was always polite and would never bring shame to her parents. Therefore, she immediately greeted Li Auntie with a cool and collected, "Hello." The woman's face lit up instantly, her eyes burning slightly as she looked at Xiaoyou.

"Well, this must be your son!"

This gave Lin Meng the feeling of a wolf seeing fresh meat!

Too eager!

Rong Ling lightly "hummed" in response, her attitude as aloof as ever.

The woman then offered a faint but undeniably pitiful smile. “That’s wonderful, you have a son now and he’s so big! Little one, how old are you this year!”

The woman eagerly lifted her buttocks and moved closer to Xiao Youyou, reaching out to touch him. But the little guy, just like his father, was cold towards outsiders. So, he clearly dodged away and replied with two short words.

"Four years old!"

A look of deep disappointment once again appeared on the woman's face. The smile, like a flower blown upon by a cold wind, withered away quickly.

"Yu Yu!" Rong Ling exclaimed lightly, seeming displeased with the child's attitude. "Don't be so rude!"

...and made criticisms!

"It's okay, it's okay…"

The woman shook her head, her sickly face looking at Rong Ling. She weakly curled her lips into a faint smile.

"Such a cute child, like you, hehe..."

She smiled, her eyes crinkled at the corners, it was actually quite beautiful! Those eyes that sparkled with a soft glow held unspoken secrets, secrets not pointed out by Lin Meng, probably secrets she and Rong Ling shared. Now, she seemed to be enjoying herself for this secret!

Okay, Lin Meng understands. This old friend must be very close to Rong Ling. At least, when their precious son was young and didn't behave well, this man didn't say much. And now, their son is considered polite. After all, you can't say you want to touch someone, so they have to bring their face closer and let you touch them willingly.

And the undercurrent between Rong Ling and this woman was definitely not the same feeling he had with Xiao Liu! Xiao Liu was Rong Ling's brother, a relationship of great closeness! So, speculating further, this woman…

Lin Meng didn't want to think too much. Now, she was Rong's wife, able to be intimate with him openly and honestly. So, there was no need to think too much, let alone be afraid!

"Youyou, go pour some jasmine tea for Auntie Li, okay"

The woman nodded lightly.

The little guy jumped down from the sofa and ran towards the kitchen.

The woman sighed softly. "Such a sensible child, so lively and cute, his name is Youyou, isn't it!"

"Hmm."

"Rourou, we all call her Youyou!"

Lin Meng didn't want to be pushed out by these two people, so she continued the conversation. Although, she knew that Li Lanqiu's attitude towards her was actually quite cold.

"Such a cute nickname, I'll call him YouYou too!"

"Hee hee..." Lin Meng laughed. "You see, don't underestimate this little guy, he has his own temper, not everyone can call him Youyou..."

She felt his gaze finally fall upon her. Pretending not to notice, she continued, “In a while, when Youyou comes back, you can try calling him. If he answers, then there’s no problem, right, Rong Ling!”

She smiled and turned her head, looking at her man!

With such sparkling eyes and a smile that blossoms, how could any man refuse!

He nodded slightly.

Li Lanqiu looked, then dimmed her eyes and sighed softly, gently supporting her forehead with her hand, right where the bandage was.

"What!" Although Rong Ling's tone remained as distant and cold as he was to strangers, his question held a hint of urgency.

This is not in line with Rongling's character!

Even facing Yu Xu and the others, Rong Ling wasn't this eager to inquire.

"Are you okay!" Lin Meng quickly followed up, trying to dispel the palpable tension between them.

"It's nothing, just... my head hurts a bit!"

"It's nothing!"

Since she's Rong Ling's old friend, she needs to express the necessary concern. "What if we go see her at the hospital!"

"It's okay, headaches are normal!"

"Uh... excuse me, what's going on here..."

The woman bit her lip and glanced at Rong Ling with a lingering look.

Lin Meng's heart skipped a beat. What, this woman's accident was related to Rong Ling!

She frowned and looked at Rong Ling.

"Rong Ling explained. 'I was in a car accident, and I hit my head!'"

"Oh...so that's how it is!"

Lin Meng murmured, suddenly feeling that this kind of conversation was truly strange and flavorless. This woman was different from Ah Zhen, different from Miao Qing, and different from Xiao Liu. She didn't need to be so reserved when talking to them. But this woman could inexplicably make people feel like they had the words on their lips but couldn't utter them!

After a moment of silence, she could only say, "You should get some rest!"

At this time, the little boy walked over with a tea tray. There were four quilts on the tray, three big and one small. This was quite a burden for a four-year-old child. However, the little boy's steps were very steady, his arms very stable, and he walked step by step, safely placing the tea tray on the tea table. Then he held up one of the cups and pushed it to Li Lanqiu's face.

"Auntie, drink!"

Li Lanqiu was about to laugh and praise the little boy, but he turned his body, picked up a cup of tea, and personally handed it to Lin Meng's face. His fair little face smiled at Lin Meng.

"Mommy have some too!"

Near and far, it's immediately apparent!

The woman's laugh, she just couldn't get up anymore.

"Good girl/boy!"

Lin Meng reached out and gently touched the little fellow's head. The little fellow laughed and climbed back onto the sofa, then nestled beside Rong Ling.

If this were usual, the little one would be huddled beside Lin Meng at this time. However, this time, it's clear that Rong Ling's side is much more attractive.

"Alright then, little one,"

the young boy said in a crisp voice. "Daddy, can you bring me Yuyu's juice"

The smallest one was obviously different from the other three. Upon hearing this, Rong Ling passed the smallest cup to the little boy, who held it and drank sip by sip. His big eyes would sometimes glance over at Li Lanqiu.

Li Lanqiu sipped the flower tea, offered a few compliments, and turned her head back to look at Youyou.

"Yoyo, can Auntie call you Yoyo"

The little boy looked up at her and replied coldly, "My name is Rong You!"

The aloofness and coldness in his tone, although he didn't receive his father's full teachings, he had already learned three or four points!

Li Lanqiu's face lost all its color. She looked at Rong Ling again, her misty eyes revealing a helpless plea.

Lin Meng wasn't very fond of how she looked at Rong Ling. Fortunately, Rong Ling didn't help her.

"This child is just like that. You'll get along with her after spending some time with her!"

is not comfort in comforting.

The woman smiled again, her delicate appearance still strangely endearing.

"Rongyou, from now on, I'll have to rely on your guidance!"

The little guy nodded.

Lin Meng always felt that the atmosphere was strange and heavy. This man of hers, usually taciturn and quiet, so don't expect him to say anything to liven things up. So, she had to do it herself. Taking advantage of the old classmate opening, she asked when Li Lanqiu and Rong Ling were classmates, learning that they were in middle and high school together.

Lin Meng was a little surprised. The era was quite distant.

Where is Li Lanqiu now

The question was like poison, instantly silencing Li Lanqiu.

Lin Meng felt a little embarrassed and secretly glanced at Rong Ling, hoping the man could save the situation, but the man said.

"Li Lanqiu must be tired. Mengmeng, you go prepare a room for Li Lanqiu and let her rest!"

What!

Lin Meng suspected he had misheard.

But Rong Ling's voice continued, "Li Lanqiu's family has had some trouble, so she needs to stay with us for a few days!"

Lin Mengxin was kind-hearted. Hearing this, and thinking about Li Lanqiu's appearance, she felt that it wouldn't be a problem to let them stay for a while. After all, everyone has difficulties in life. Besides, they were friends of the men, and she couldn't be too dismissive. However, when she went upstairs to tidy up, she felt something was off!

"And besides, that cold-hearted man, when did he ever become so kind Just say Li Lanqiu is a woman, if something happened to her, why didn't she go to her female friends for shelter, but instead seek out a man Besides, even if it was an old classmate, it was just from middle and high school. She had been with Rong Ling for so long, yet she never even saw this woman!"

If a woman were truly close to Rong Ling, she should have met him already. But if she wasn't close to him, how could she allow him into her home now!

Oddly enough!

Her heart was heavy, so she pressed down on something. Looking back, after arranging Li Lanqiu to rest, Lin Meng no longer had to endure and be considerate. She directly asked Rong Ling.

"Who is that Li Lanqiu I've never seen her before! What happened to her family! Where are the family members"
