bent down and got into the car. After Rong Ling got in the car, the car slowly drove away under the driver's control.Although Lin Meng's heart was a little uneasy, she still managed to raise a gentle...I don't believe you, who else can I believe!

At that moment, her heart overflowed with joy, yet it was also soft and sweet, like being wrapped in honey. Though he didn't seem to be saying any sweet nothings, sometimes what he said made her feel it surpassed any sweet words.

Overwhelmed with emotion, she lowered her head, tears streaming down her cheeks. As she gently cupped a tear with her fingertips, a sweet smile curved her lips, tinged with a childlike sense of contentment.

“I wouldn’t do that, I think, there are too many opportunities!” she explained faintly.

For example, when she was alone in this house before; for example, when it was necessary to knock down the wall between these two rooms; and for example, when he was playing with the two little kids on one side, while she sat in his place playing his computer.

I know.

He lowered his voice, stroking her neck gently with a hand full of tenderness. She flinched, pulling back slightly because the shadow of near death still lingered in her heart.

"Ouch" he asked her.

She shook her head, but then nodded.

He felt even more heartache.

"Come on, let me put some medicine on you so it doesn't swell up too badly later!"

Saying that, he forcefully hugged her and walked out, simultaneously ordering Miao Qing to handle the mess in this room. He seemed completely unconcerned about the possibility of significant losses from his computer being touched by someone else!

He's not worried, Lin Meng is!

"Rong Ling, why don't you go check your computer first Make sure you haven't lost anything important!"

He used to do things in a secretive way, like with the Double Wood Group incident. Now, he's being watched by Rong Qikeng and people from the He family as well. If he really suffers some losses because of this, it would be very troublesome.

"It's fine." He replied nonchalantly. "Let me treat your wound first."

It seemed as if tending to her injuries was the most important thing, everything else had to take second place!

Of course, she was secretly delighted. It was clear evidence that the man cared and valued her. However, she wasn't just a woman who craved tenderness, so she still warned Rong Ling about the seriousness of the situation. (..)

“I saw her flipping through to the password page before, you know, the place where passwords are kept. That must be something really important, right Don't you really want to take a look! Honestly, I don't have anything else going on, and I wouldn't mind taking some time to apply medicine, besides, I can do it myself!”

“My little darling!” Rong Ling’s eyes crinkled at the corners with a smile. “Don’t worry.”

He suddenly leaned in close to her ear and whispered softly, “There are some things in that computer, but, one, she can’t take them; two, they aren’t what she needs.”

What does she need then!

Lin Meng blinked suspiciously. Why did looking at Rong Ling's face make her feel like he saw everything! What was the deal between him and Li Lanqiu! She thought he had old feelings for her, but seeing him today, she wasn't so sure anymore.

"You... you're a little off," she frowned. "Uh, I mean, you and Li Lanqiu... uh..."

She didn't know exactly what words to use.

Don't overthink it.

He passed her by, hiding his true feelings. There were certain things he was forbidden to tell her, and if he did, he would face severe consequences. Besides, telling her would be detrimental to her as well, potentially exposing her to danger. It was better for her not to know anything at all. Of course, if the time ever came, he would tell her everything.

He led her back to the bedroom and found some ointment, gently rubbing it on her. She frowned, biting her lip, trying hard to endure. He watched, his heart growing colder again. Feeling the delicate body in his arms still trembling slightly, obviously from being frightened earlier, his heart turned hard as stone.

As for Li Lanqiu, that's it!

She reached out her hand toward his computer, unconcerned. He could still pretend to be a good person until the very end. But she reached out for Lin Meng instead. Then, she would have to bear the consequences herself!

His ice-like eyes flashed with a sharp chill for a moment, but when he looked at her, his gaze softened. It was a gentle softness, rippling with warmth, like the warm sun in late spring scattered on the surface of a gently undulating lake. There was a kind of wonderful beauty to it.

"Just bear with it!" he murmured, twisting his brows in concern. His fingertips were barely daring to apply any pressure, for fear of hurting her. After all, she looked so small, and her neck was so delicate. She was so fragile as a whole, leaving her alone to face the danger…

Just thinking about it, his heart aches again!

He didn't expect her to suddenly come back, and at such a coincidental time! Such neglect in taking care of her had made her face danger time and time again. He truly felt he deserved to die.

Li Lanqiu tidied up and walked all the way. When she passed by the master bedroom door, she stopped and looked inside. What she saw was Rong Ling like this - so gentle, so careful, her slightly locked brows seemed to contain both reluctance and heartache...

My heart ached suddenly, and there was a faint pain.

She, unwilling to yield!

Then, extreme hatred!

“Why believe her and not me!” she demanded again, her voice sharp. By now, she had changed out of her clothes. Earlier, because her clothes were disheveled and covered in blood, she had made Uncle Zun and the others wait outside. While changing, she had quickly disassembled her equipment, returning each piece to its original safe form. Therefore, she was no longer carrying any dangerous items; therefore, she could question him with even more righteous indignation than before.

Rong Ling didn't even look at her, only coldly ordered.

"Escort her out!"

A slightly stern tone, with a hint of dissatisfaction toward subordinates' work.

The two henchmen were taken aback and immediately started pushing the person. Li Lanqiu wanted to enter the house, but she was pulled back by the two henchmen. Li Lanqiu was unwilling to just leave like this, so she immediately grabbed the door frame with her quick eyes and hands. Once again, she displayed a strength that differed from the weak image she gave off! The two henchmen couldn't pull her away immediately!

"You will fall to her, you will regret it!" Li Lanqiu roared.

Lin Meng was furious upon hearing this. This hateful woman, Rong Ling would fall into her hands, and certainly not those of another woman. However, he would willingly fall into her trap, and absolutely would not regret it.

She's too crazy now!

"I told you, I'll make you pay!" Raising her face, she glared coldly at Li Lanqiu, and simultaneously reached out, grabbing hold of Rong Lingyi's hand which remained still as a mountain, applying medicine to her wound.

At this moment, Lin Meng’s aura surged. Although she was leaning against Rong Ling, there was a mysterious fierceness about her, an air of dominance that surprised Li Lanqiu. In truth, she had always underestimated Lin Meng. Lin Meng had been training abroad for four years, hadn't she just been getting by! After returning home, she had competed with the third son of the Ruan family, fought with people in the business world, and even subdued everyone in Guangda into submission. All of this was her ability. Moreover, when she was at Guangda before, she was also a high-ranking official. If she truly wanted to deal with someone, she would definitely make them pay attention.

Even the most docile-looking cat has sharp claws when it needs them!

Now, it's time for Lin Meng to extend his claws!

Kē Róngquè lowered her head and whispered something in her ear.

“Give her to me, and just calm down!”

She pursed her lips slightly, speaking in a low voice, and protested, "But she almost choked me to death!"

For someone who almost killed himself, how could anyone truly find peace! Instead of him taking all the blame and keeping her safe as he claims, she wants to do it herself!

"Believe me!"

He squeezed her small hand tightly.

Her eyes flashed, and she immediately remembered the man repeatedly saying these "three words" before. She also remembered the man's attitude toward her just now, and toward Li Lanqiu. She felt that she couldn't be too harsh, and it was truly time to believe in the man again thoroughly. But, expressing her stance shouldn't be a problem, right

"Make her disappear at once!"

She glared fiercely at the two subordinates!

With an air of haughty dignity and authority, she exhibited the bearing expected of a mistress.

The two men knew that if they lingered any longer, they wouldn't be able to stay here. So, immediately, they hacked at Li Lanqiu's hands, preventing her from gripping the door frame. They then forcefully dragged her out. As Lin Meng had commanded, they moved with incredible speed, so fast that in a blink of an eye, Li Lanqiu disappeared from sight. From afar, came Li Lanqiu's distressed cries for help.

"Rong, someone's trying to kill me outside. Where should I go Don't you care about our past at all Do you really want to see me die I don't believe it, I don't believe it! You weren't like this before, Rong -- uh uh -- "

Yet, it was Uncle Zun who acted without permission and covered Li Lanqiu's mouth. All that chatter was simply disturbing the peace. He was sure that the male and female owners of this house would not want to hear any of it.

Thus, unwillingly, Li Lanqiu was dragged away. Her destination, of course, was her parents' hotel room!

Inside the house, there was only Lin Meng and Rong Ling left. With no one else around to intrude, Lin Meng continued the topic from before, naturally making a request.

"I can give it to you, but you have to let me know."

She hated feeling in the dark, and this matter concerning Li Lanqiu was especially serious. She had to be involved.

Rong Ling didn't immediately agree, his mind racing as he considered the matter carefully. He had many reservations.
