she could work part-time to earn living expenses. She imagined that in two years, she could live independently. Although it would be hard, it would probably be very free and beautiful. But she didn't...Lin Meng's heart skipped a beat, but she shook her head in denial. She didn't want to cause trouble for Ruan Chengyi, and Rong Ling's anger wasn't something ordinary people could withstand when he flared up.

Seeing her like this, Rong Ling became even angrier.

"If it wasn't him, then who"

She lowered her head, feigning ignorance. Her evasive gaze betrayed a hint of guilt.

"The man who just came here is him. Could it be anyone else!" Rong Ling, however, was smart. He basically had everything under control. Anger flickered in his heart, and the annoyance on his face was undisguised after being provoked.

"He even dares to move my people! He's simply asking for death!"

Lin Meng immediately knew something was wrong. She tried her best to hide it, didn't she Just wanting this matter to pass so easily!

"It's fine, it's not a big deal!"

Rong Ling immediately narrowed his eyes, his gaze dark and intense as he stared at her. "Getting slapped in the face isn't a big deal!"

Lin Meng blinked, not knowing how to respond.

He recalled something, and his heart ached. “When I slapped you before, you held a grudge against me for quite a while. How come you’re protecting that Ruan Chengyi so fiercely now”

Those deep-set black eyes had already revealed a hint of suspicion.

Lin Meng's explanation was a little weak. "He... he didn't mean to, just let it go!"

"No! My people, I can't even bear to hit them, how could I let them be ruined like this! That boy, just wait and see how I make him pay!"

The more she defended herself, the angrier he became.

"Oh, no!" Lin Meng said hurriedly, grabbing Rong Ling's arm. "That man is my son! Why would you treat him the same way you would a stranger!"

"Where did you get such a big son!" He shrugged off her arm, not understanding her pleas. "You really think of yourself as part of the Ruan family!"

Lin Meng had a bit of a headache. There was no other way, so she could only tiptoe and kiss him, using soft kisses to comfort him.

Alright, calm down. I'm not angry anymore, so you shouldn't be either.

Rong Ling no longer spoke.

She had always known that he was a man with principles, and she was genuinely afraid of what he might do to Ruan Chengyi. She could only softly beg him to give her a guarantee.

Rong Ling glanced at her, and a nameless fire rose within him. Why did she defend those unrelated men so much! Wasn't she being too lenient towards the three sons of the Ruan family, who were only nominal He had long been unhappy with her reluctance to divorce and her unwillingness to explain the reasons behind it. Now, seeing the Ruan family, he felt a surge of anger, yet he couldn't shake the uneasy feeling in his heart.

He shrugged her off his arm again, and with a grunt said, "I don't get you!"

He simply turned and walked away indifferently.

She gritted her teeth and hurriedly chased after him. Seeing that he had entered the ward, she suddenly remembered the slap mark on her face. She could only helplessly turn around and enter the bathroom. Facing the mirror, she applied hot water for a long time until there was no trace left on her face before she followed him into the ward.

The man was very unhappy because of this slap. He didn't want his son to be worried about him or upset because of it either.

Once she entered the ward, she naturally went out of her way to please Rong Ling. One moment she was cutting fruit for him, and the next she was saying she wanted to give him a shoulder rub or back massage. That little act of flattery didn't make Rong Ling feel much better though. In the end, he didn't treat her any better, not to mention that she lost out in the process. The little boy lying on the bed saw Lin Meng circling around Rong Ling and immediately felt jealous. His face crumpled, and he started calling "Mommy" while demanding food and wanting his mother to tell him a story.

In short, both father and son are difficult to deal with.

After running around in circles for a while, it got dark and Lin Meng was exhausted.

Because the little one has to be hospitalized, Lin Meng will definitely have to stay by his bedside. So, she has to go home and pack some toiletries and basic clothes. When Lin Meng said she was going home, Rong Ling's eyes were still as cold as ever. Lin Meng saw it and was really helpless with this man. She coaxed, persuaded, and acted coquettishly, pulling the man out like a little cat baring its teeth and claws, threatening: "Anyway, you are not allowed to lay a finger on Ruan Chengyi," then ignoring the man's face turning black instantly, she hurried away.

On her way home, she began to ponder what she would do if she ran into Ruan Chengyi again!

She just can't bring herself to be cruel, like a wicked stepmother. At that moment, she was completely out of control and felt a mixture of reckless abandon and anger. She just wanted some quick satisfaction by arguing with him!

Well, the outcome right now is truly terrible!

After the long car ride home, she still couldn't think of a good solution. As the saying goes, words once spoken can't be taken back. Apologizing to Ruan Chengyi was out of the question. Everyone deserves dignity, and she had already endured a slap from him. Furthermore, because of him, she had lost countless smiles in front of Rong Ling. So, there was no way she could stoop so low.

Thinking about it, Lin Meng felt that it was best to ignore him for now. Wait a while and then naturally make up with him!

When she got home, she realized that women's hearts were actually not as ruthless as men's. Ruan Chengyi had vented his anger on her and packed up his things, taking two staff members with him to the south. He left so decisively, without a word, that one would think he was having a temper tantrum and leaving home. But he didn't even inform her, and she could see from this that he definitely didn't want to see her right now!

That's it!

Lin Meng thought to herself, perhaps she shouldn't be too kind. Maybe she should just let the cold war continue! That man hadn't shown any good intentions towards her, so there was no reason for her to acknowledge him!

After going upstairs and getting a bag, she started packing up busily.

Following closely behind, Ruan Chengyang stood by watching, squinting his eyes. His always eerie gaze remained unchanged.

"What are you trying to do!"

It was him who told Lin Meng that both Ruan Chengyi and Ruan Chenghui, the two brothers, had gone south with their men.

Lin Meng's words naturally indicate that she plans to stay in the hospital for an extended period.

Ruan Chengyang's face, which was already gloomy, became even darker. "You just leave like this What am I supposed to do!"

Oh!

Lin Meng was stunned.

Ruan Chengyang explained in a sullen tone, his face clearly displeased. "With you gone, who's going to cook for me! Do you want to starve me to death!"

Lin Meng paused, thinking to herself that before she arrived, these three brothers were still living well and wouldn't starve to death. Of course, she couldn't say that. She had already offended the eldest son, so it was best to treat the other three with caution.

"

For these days, just eat at your school cafeteria!

"

"Who's going to eat that! It's as awful as pig food!"

"Then you can eat at a restaurant outside, or order takeout!"

"It's not tasty!" Ruan Chengyang expressed his disgust coldly. "Yoyo isn't seriously ill, so you don't need to stay there all the time! Remember, come back every day and cook for me, I'll be waiting at home!"

Lin Meng felt a bit helpless. The more she spent time with Ruan Chenyang, the more she felt he was like a child! Perhaps it was because he hadn't entered society yet, so no matter how mature he seemed, he was still just a boy!

"Chengyang, Youyou, he's keeping me busy right now. These days, you'll just have to figure things out on your own!"

It's like a child clamoring for milk!

Lin Meng didn't say anything more. She quickly went into the bathroom, packed up all her toiletries, then carried her clothes and toiletries out with both hands.

Seeing this, Ruan Chengyang immediately shifted his position, moving to block the doorway. He didn't speak, just stared at her with a dark expression, as if he wouldn't let her leave unless she agreed to him.

When he looked at her, he pursed his blood-red lips and glared stubbornly, as if she owed him something and should compensate him.

This temper is really quite bad!

"Have you eaten yet!" Lin Meng suddenly asked.

Ruan Chengyang was taken aback, naturally shaking his head.

"I'll go make something for you!"

Ruan Chengyang was stunned again.

But she urged him on. "Come on, what are we doing here"

He didn't move much, sizing her up with suspicion. Then he let out a low, menacing grumble. "Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes!"

He turned and walked out first.

She smiled at the back, still carrying what was in her hands downstairs. Then she reached the first floor, put down her things, and went into the kitchen to get busy. But after a while, a bowl of fragrant hot noodles came out of the pot.

She personally carried it and placed it on the dinner table, calling out, "Eat up!"

Ruan Chengyang pursed his lips and approached with some hesitation. His face, which had always been as pale as a vampire's, showed no hint of pleasure or anger.

Lin Meng turned her head and, with a headache, realized that both of her packed bags were gone.

"Carry on!" she said with a sigh, looking at the big kid who was even bigger than her. "Where's my bag!"

Ruan Chengyang had already sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and slurped the noodles noisily, almost burying half his face in the bowl. Only his eyes, steamed by the hot broth, glistened brightly, emitting a dazzling light that only made his flushed complexion appear even more bizarre.

Lin Meng looked at his size, and yet he did such childish things. It was really embarrassing for him. Now seeing him eat happily, she thought about it and sat down on the sofa, quietly waiting for him to finish!

"Give me my bag!"

"I'm still hungry!" Ruan Chengyang pushed the bowl away and said that, looking like he didn't want to let her go at all.

Lin Meng reached out and rubbed his temples lightly, thinking to himself, "Today might be the day I offend everyone I need to."

"Chengyang, Youyouxia, I absolutely have to stay by his side. Besides, he's my son, and you... well, the difference in our closeness is clear. You need to understand that!"

Ruan Chengyang's face pulled taut, and he heard a sharp "crack" as his chopsticks snapped in half right in his hand.

"Get my bag out, Chengyang. You're not a child anymore, stop acting like this!"

Ruan Chengyang remained motionless, his eyes, as gloomy as a poisonous snake, fixed on her with icy coldness. His skin, whiter than snow, under the light, made his pallor even more pronounced and evident.

Lin Meng stood up, unable to simply follow along. "Chengyang, actually I don't really need those two bags. You have to know, some things, once they are out, you can buy them!"

Ruan Chengyang frowned.

Lin Meng walked outside.

Ruan Chengyang let out a furious snort and pushed the chair away with great force. (..tw good novels) The chair slid across the tiles, making a piercing screech that sent shivers down one's spine. With that same aura of perpetual gloom about him, he turned around, ascended the stairs like a phantom, then came back down carrying two suitcases and tossed them in front of Lin Meng.

"Roll away!"

He coldly stabbed Lin Meng with a sentence, looking again like a haughty and arrogant ghost who seemed to look down on everything!

Lin Meng didn't leave, instead she went back into the kitchen. This time, she made a bowl of dumplings and placed it on the table. And the suitcase, this time, stayed there quietly.

When she picked up the two suitcases, she smiled.

"If you don't want to eat takeout, just go to the hospital, but you have to be there before mealtime, otherwise, no one will cook for you. Yoyo is quite bored being alone in the hospital. You, as his older brother, can go and keep him company. So, if you have time, go."

Then, the detailed ward number of the hospital was reported.

This is as good as it gets for this awkward big boy's strange pride!

Lin Meng took something and this time, she truly left.

Ruan Chengyang turned his head to look at the still steaming dumplings, and muttered in his heart: "Who would go see that nasty little devil!"

He still walked over slowly, slowly putting each plump white dumpling into his stomach. Even though he had already eaten a bowl of hot noodles the previous night and was full, he still slowly ate up this bowl of dumplings, leaving not even a drop of soup.ndition did not seem optimistic. Furthermore, their relationship was exposed as a result of this incident and met with opposition from the girl's family. In the end, the girl was sent abroad and marr...
