ed again."Okay, but it has to be just like this one! And preferably white shell!"His is black, so she got a white one. Hee hee, it's perfect for a couple's phone set!He agreed, and she smiled sweetly...After arriving in the master bedroom, Lin Meng was gently put down. Rong Ling did not immediately continue their interrupted intimacy, but instead pressed her against the wall, his arms still holding her captive, staring deeply into her eyes.

She wore a cold expression, devoid of any pretense of a smile.

I will not apologize for what just happened!

Thank him for sparing her face and not confronting her angrily in front of Li Lanqiu. But even though there were only the two of them here now, she wouldn't apologize to him, nor would she take back what she had just said.

"You don't need to apologize." Even if it came from someone else, he would definitely not let them off the hook, because his arrogant nature wouldn't allow it. But she was his wife, and he was willing to indulge her little temper.

"This is the last time, I promise. This is the last time I'll help Li Lanqiu. After I get this sorted out for her, her affairs have nothing to do with me anymore!"

“Are you sure!” she mocked deeply. “My eyes only see that once Li Lanqiu threatens to die, you will waver. This time you helped her, I understand you don’t want her to commit suicide, but do you know, human desire is endless. As long as she holds this weapon of suicide, you can only revolve around her again and again!”

Rong Ling pursed her lips, her pupils shrinking slightly, as she defended herself.

"She's in a special situation this time, life-threatening. I think she's scared, that's why she's doing this. Once the danger is gone, she'll probably leave, just like before. Even if—" His lips tightened further. "Even if she still threatens to die, I won't stay with her! If she truly does that, it would be self-inflicted humiliation. She shouldn't be that kind of person!"

“You know her so well! It’s been so many years since you broke up, and you’re still so sure of her personality!” Lin Meng glared at Rong Ling fiercely. “There’s no danger, so you can’t create it, right! And can you guarantee this is Li Lanqiu’s last time in danger! If she gets into trouble again, will you still rush over to solve it for her, Rong Ling What are you to Li Lanqiu anyway!”

A thick nasal tone, carrying an undeniable and unmistakable air of questioning.

Lin Meng stretched out his hand and pushed Rong Ling away with some annoyance.

"I wish I had amnesia, so I could forget you completely!"

"No!" he roared, his arms tightening around her again like steel, glaring at her with fury, calling her name in a venomous tone. "Lin Meng, don't test my patience!"

She actually dared to say she wanted to forget about her! This woman is really asking for a beating!

She sneered coldly. "So what if you challenge me! You've challenged my patience more than once, and now you say I can't challenge you! Humph, besides, Rong Ling, do you think you're a god Just saying it won't be so, being too confident"

She pushed him hard and gestured for him to let her go.

He looked at her with a hint of menace, but the chaotic night was wearing on his nerves. Lately, things had been particularly turbulent. All he wanted was for this woman to be obedient, to stand by him, support him and understand him, so he could get through this mess. He wasn't afraid of others making trouble; no matter how much they stirred, he had ways of silencing them. But he feared her arguing with him. When she argued, his whole body became restless and he felt powerless.

“Little darling, don’t argue with me!” His voice softened, a hint of dejection and appeasement in it. At the same time, his arm relaxed, gently holding her, his forehead resting lightly against hers. With each breath they took, it was as if you breathed in and I breathed out, so intimately close that it felt like one person.

“I have a plan in mind. Helping Li Lanqiu will definitely be the last time. I'll go find Xiao Liu and have her take care of those drug dealers. Once they're dealt with, Li Lanqiu won't be in danger anymore, and she can leave then. It'll happen soon, in just a few days. Next time, no matter what reason she gives for coming to my door, don't let her in, okay!”

Lin Meng quietly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes falling with them, casting a deep shadow beneath them. It seemed as if she had resigned herself helplessly, a faint sadness in her demeanor. He reached out and gently grasped a stray strand of hair by her ear, twirling it around before giving her cheek a tender kiss.

She gently pushed him away, and he let go, thinking to give her some space so she could calm down on her own. She went into the dressing room, and he sat on the bed, his eyes slightly downcast, lost in thought. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong; it seemed like she had been in there for a while—

A terrible guess flashed through his mind. He suddenly stood up and strode toward the locker room. As soon as he entered, he saw the dark red travel bag lying on the floor, and his face darkened. The woman he thought had gone into the locker room to change into pajamas was still dressed as before. She held a neatly folded set of clothes in her hand. Without raising her head as he came in, she continued putting the clothes away, then turned and squatted down to stuff them into the travel bag.

"What are you doing!"

He was furious!

He knew exactly what this woman was doing by packing up these things, but he couldn't help but ask.

She replied too.

"Get out!"

“You said you wouldn't leave!” He was furious, his voice rising several decibels, already sounding quite frightening.

But she wasn't afraid of him. Doting on her, he allowed her to run wild and do whatever she pleased!

"Don't you know that being two-faced is a woman's specialty!" she retorted, continuing to turn away and pack her things.

He took several large strides towards her, grabbed her arm and stopped her from packing.

"Stop it! You are not allowed to go anywhere, and don't even think about leaving this house!"

"If you don't try, how will you know!"

He was about to explode with rage.

"You can't leave without my command!"

She raised her hand and punched him, shouting angrily.

"Rong Ling, are you treating me like a prisoner!"

He stared at her, his breath suddenly becoming heavy and hot, as if the suppressed anger within him was about to erupt.

"You said you wouldn't leave, you promised me!"

He looked at her, his eyes rimmed red. That look, so fierce and indignant, resembled a child about to be abandoned, unwilling and resentful!

But she didn't have a shred of pity, and replied lightly, "I've changed my mind!"

"Lin Meng!" he called her name again. She couldn't do this!

“Don’t shout at me, you let Li Lanqiu stay, so you should have thought about this outcome!” She glared at him, waving her hand to break free from his grasp, but this stinky man was full of a stench that held her tight. She tried to wriggle free, but he just tightened his grip, hurting her. He acted as if she was about to run away.

"Let me go!" she said, her face set in a determined frown. Her eyes betrayed her unwavering resolve to leave.

He suddenly pounced, forcefully gripping her head. A hot and savage kiss immediately rained down, dense and suffocating. With one hand, he roughly tugged at her clothes, finding it bothersome, so he switched to grabbing her skirt. The skirt, being inherently fragile, was no match for his brute strength. Soon, with a rip, "szzzzz," it tore apart, yanked open by him. He casually released it, the smooth fabric slipping down along her long, slender legs. He started tugging at her shorts, quickly ripping off a large section.

She was "mumbling" and beating him hard, becoming even more furious with this man in her heart. When the conversation got heated, he resorted to this kind of aggression against her. It was simply too much. And this pig who only used his lower body to think, during an argument, he actually got erect!

It's so annoying!

If her mouth hadn't been firmly blocked by him, she would have cursed him until he was covered in dog blood. As it is, she could only struggle, like a fish that was almost out of breath, struggling and flailing with all her might.

"Mmm—" Suddenly, she let out a pained moan. Even though her mouth was blocked by him, she couldn't contain the strange sound.

He couldn't possibly be like Lin Meng thought, only thinking with his lower half. This made her angry and anxious, and she was pushing him to a corner, leaving him feeling helpless. That's why he wanted to possess her, make her understand that he only wanted her, and also use this to make her more obedient. He kissed her fiercely, but all the while he kept an eye on her reaction. She was his wife; he couldn't rape her, so he had to consider her feelings!

Seeing her suddenly furrow her brows dramatically, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, he hastily let go of her. He had just seemed to hear a "bang!" sound, could it be that she had bumped into something!

His big hand clasped her slender waist, turning her slightly. His worried gaze swept rapidly across her lower back, and with one hand he pulled up the hem of her shirt.

Then, on the expanse of smooth, fair skin, a single patch of red caught his eye.

He furrowed his brow.

She groaned in pain.

"That hurts!"

She was so wronged. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why did even the wood panel seem to be against her The pain in her lower back just now clearly came from hitting a partition inside the wardrobe.

"Ouch..."

She was so angry, she stamped her foot angrily and without thinking, slapped Rong Ling. She felt that everything was his fault!

Of course Rong Ling felt sympathy, pulling her away without explanation.

"Come on, let me get some medicine and rub it for you. Otherwise, this will turn blue in a while!"

"No!" she pouted, gritting her teeth against the pain, then turned away to fuss with her clothes again. Rong Ling stared at her in disbelief.

Could she just want to leave him like that!

"You're going to die from pain!" he said angrily, letting out a cold snort full of spite.

Lin Meng had always been pampered, to the point where it was almost excessive. Now that she was hurt, he didn't console or comfort her, and instead said something like this!

Lin Meng's heart was about to explode with anger. Her eyes widened, and she wanted to turn around and kick him a few times, just to make him realize how heartless he was! But as soon as her thoughts shifted slightly, she counted on her mind, and tears started falling silently down her cheeks.

To her, this man was a softie. She had been foolish just now, letting Li Lanqiu's words get to her and staying hard-headed with this man the entire time.

She immediately turned her body slightly, but not toward the man. Instead, she positioned her entire back to face him. This was a deliberate act to make it seem as if she was crying with her back to him. Of course, if she had simply cried quietly, it would have been a waste of effort. She needed this man to know, that's what made it worthwhile. So, she trembled her shoulders several times. Anyone with even a little common sense should have known she was crying silently.

Rong Ling's brain was undoubtedly brighter than others', so he immediately reached out and firmly pressed his hand on her shoulder, turning her body around. Seeing that there were indeed two lines of tears on her face, and she was biting her lip as if punishing herself, suppressing her sobs silently, the defenses in his heart truly crumbled like a thousand miles.

His cold eyes flickered with a hint of gloom, as if sighing in resignation.

He didn't say much, and just picked her up.

“Let go!” she cried, her voice choked with sobs. Once the words left her lips, the dam broke and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Teardrops, one after another, splattered onto Rong Ling’s neck and shoulders, burning like fire on his skin. His heart throbbed with a painful heat as well.

"I let you go, don't cry!"

The dry, muffled voice betrayed how difficult it was for him to utter those words.
