armored military vehicles were too intimidating, and the soldiers carrying guns and wearing camouflage uniforms were too valiant. They scared Xiao Yi's men. Gangsters aren't afraid of death, but they...Chapter Name: 387

Last night was quite a toss and turn, Lin Meng woke up late the next day, but not too late. Because subconsciously she wanted to make breakfast for her little one and send him to school, she still got up. When she got up, the man was gone. She guessed that he probably took her little one for a morning run.

With a stiff back and sore waist, she stretched her body and quickly tidied up before heading downstairs. The man was sitting on the sofa, reading the financial newspaper, his face flushed with a healthy glow, just like the little guy beside him. He looked like he had just finished his morning workout. Li Lanqiu was also up, sitting next to the little guy, whispering something in his ear. One couldn't tell what they were talking about. The little guy, however, kept a cold face and ignored her, playing with his little capuchin monkey.

Lin Meng couldn't help but silently cheer in her heart: Good job, son! Don't pay attention to that weird auntie!

As she got closer, she heard Li Lanqiu talking to the marmoset and the little boy. She seemed to know a lot! It also appeared that she knew how to connect with children by finding common interests and enjoying things they were passionate about.

Rong Ling first raised his head from the newspaper, glanced at her, and asked, "Awake already!"

The little guy hadn't noticed Lin Meng approaching with his keen ears and eyes. But as soon as he did, he immediately jumped down and ran towards Lin Meng, affectionately calling out "Mommy" before hugging her leg and nuzzling her with his tiny face.

This attitude is naturally very different from when facing Li Lanqiu!

"Mommy, when are we having dinner Youyou is hungry, 'Jiling' is hungry too!"

"Ling" is the name given by the little one to the small marmoset, while the other one belonging to Xiao Hao was named "Zhi"!

Lin Meng let the little guy go and feed Jī Líng first. Breakfast would be ready soon. When looking at Li Lanqiu, Li Lanqiu smiled slightly at Lin Meng. That feeling seemed a bit different from last night. There was less softness in her body and more dazzling sunshine. Lin Meng didn't understand, just one night, how did she change! Or, was the way she was last night just one aspect of her!

I couldn't figure it out, but remembering that the guest comes first, Lin Meng smiled in return.

"Rongyou is wonderful, I've never met such a likeable child!" Li Lanqiu praised enthusiastically.

Lin Meng thought for a moment and readily admitted, "With me and Rong Ling teaching her together, Youyou will definitely be excellent!"

The little boy grinned happily, not at all embarrassed. It seemed to him that this praise was nothing more than stating a fact, something he deserved.

Lin Meng affectionately grabbed the little guy's head, and the little guy, happy, ran to feed it.

Lin Meng asked Li Lanqiu if there were any dietary restrictions. Li Lanqiu surprisingly stood up. "I'll help out too. Since I'm staying here, I should do my part."

"Please don't, strangers are guests. Just sit down."

"Don't be so polite!"

At this moment, Li Lanqiu was unusually proactive. She smiled broadly as she walked towards Lin Meng. "The doctor told me I should participate in activities more often. I can't just sit around, otherwise, my brain probably won't ever get better!"

Seeing Lin Meng's face showing no surprise, nor asking about the injury on her head, Li Lanqiu continued.

It seems that I lost some memories because of a car accident. Rong has already told you about it!

Lin Meng nodded and continued to persuade her.

"Li Lanqiu, please sit down. Making breakfast is no big deal, I'll have it ready in a moment!"

She wasn't very interested in her history, so she could stop there!

Li Lanqiu suddenly looked at Lin Meng with a hint of grievance, softly pleading. "Come on, just let me help out, okay! Just sitting here doing nothing, I feel like I'm going to rot!"

Lin Meng looked at this woman, who was clearly much older than herself, and suddenly felt a sense of unease. Since this woman was Rong Ling's classmate, she should be around the same age as Rong Ling. But someone her age was now acting... well... coquettishly towards her!

That's really strange!

Before she could think of an excuse to refuse, Rong Ling's voice rang out.

Li Lanqiu, come and sit here. Guests are always welcome, so put down your tools!

Her cold tone, laced with polite detachment, immediately made Li Lanqiu feel resentful. The definition of a guest greatly restricted Li Lanqiu's brother Dong. Lin Meng was overjoyed and glanced at Rong Ling. However, she saw that her man still just cast his gaze upon the newspaper, his profile as cold and aloof as a marble sculpture. She suddenly felt that sometimes, this kind of coldness in men was truly captivating!

The man spoke, naturally she didn't need to spar with Li Lanqiu anymore. Lin Meng directly entered the kitchen lightly and quickly made breakfast. Scrambled eggs, hot milk, toast – these were simple things, naturally it didn't take her long to get them done. After the four of them finished their breakfast, Lin Meng cleared the dishes and returned to the kitchen intending to wash them, but she heard Li Lanqiu speaking in a sweet voice filled with memories.

"Hey, do you still remember what you told me before!"

Lin Meng really felt that she hated this woman for speaking to her man in such a familiar tone!

That night, you held me and said --

"Clang!" Lin Meng's heart jolted, her hand trembled, and the tray she was holding went crashing to the ground. The porcelain dish shattered into pieces!

"Mommy!" the little boy called out first, then strode over to Lin Meng in a hurry.

Lin Meng squatted down, feeling flustered. As she hurriedly picked up the shards of porcelain, she felt a sharp pain in her hand. Her tender finger was immediately cut by a white piece of porcelain, bleeding!

First came the big feet, not the little one who had been shouting "Mommy" incessantly. She was stunned for a moment before being quickly yanked to her feet.

The man growled at her in a low voice, clearly angry.

"Why are you picking up those shards, you're bleeding! Just sweep them up and throw them away. What kind of fool are you"

Saying that, he hurriedly pulled her outside.

She didn't move, instinctively resisting all of his actions. She thought to herself, staring into his eyes, this is when she should be filled with anger!

She didn't know, until now, that he was so close to her friend that he would hold her while talking to her. And, it was even at night!

"Idiot!" he muttered.

She immediately retorted, "I'm not stupid!"

Then, puffing out her cheeks and reddening her face, she glared at him like an enraged little lion.

He frowned and immediately scooped her up in his arms.

"Mommy!" the little one's voice piped up right after.

"Go get the medicine box!" Rong Ling commanded.

The little fellow immediately exclaimed, "Oh!" and ran away, twisting his little bottom.

Rong Ling immediately hugged Lin Meng out of the kitchen and sat down near the dining table. He sat in a chair, allowing her to sit intimately on his lap. Then, he quickly held her hand, frowning slightly, and took her bloody finger into his mouth, sucking it once to stop the bleeding and disinfect it. She was injured in several places, so he sucked them one by one.

This intimate attitude made Li Lanqiu sit there like a wooden man, speechless. Her eyes became increasingly complex.

Lin Meng also seemed quiet. When he suddenly picked her up, her dizzy brain suddenly became clearer. Arguing with him, making a scene with him, this was really the worst idea ever. Besides, the man almost seemed like a superhero possessed, appearing in front of her so quickly. This showed that he cared about her. She shouldn't be so insecure.

She's just a friend of Rong Ling, an old acquaintance who will be leaving in a few days. She shouldn't have quarreled with Rong Ling because of this woman. If she wants to fight, she should wait until the woman leaves before doing so, otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing for this woman to see Or better yet, wouldn't it give this woman any other chance!

The man held her and said, so what Now she was sitting on the side, while in the man's arms was none other than Lin Meng! The man kissed and caressed her fingertip, which was also hers!

It's not right, she doesn't do anything, as if she were truly becoming an easy target!

Knowing her relationship with Rong Ling, this woman in her thirties acted so childishly by saying those words when the other wasn't looking. And she didn't even try to lower her voice! It was clearly meant to provoke her!

Too much!

Does she think Lin Meng is a pushover

With a cold snort in her heart, she looked pitifully at Rong Ling and softly called his name.

"Ouch!"

She will let this woman know what it means to be in the past and present!

Rong Ling glared at her with her fingertip. Taking a deep breath, she pulled back her finger, saw there were still traces of blood, and stuck out her tongue to lick it gently. With a free hand, she scolded her unceremoniously.

"If you know it hurts, don't do stupid things next time!"

"Daddy, don't scare Mommy!"

The little boy ran up, carrying a small first-aid kit, "hu hu" panting. He hadn't even reached his mom yet but started to complain about her on her behalf.

Rong Ling glared at the little boy again! This kid, which eye did he see that he was scaring his mommy!

He was the one who was scared, wasn't he!

Just then, with a sharp crack, he feared the porcelain bowls in the cupboard had fallen and smashed onto her!

They were all terrified!

Well, it's not like that!

Having taken the medicine box, he disinfected her wound again with iodine. She was agitated and cried out incoherently, acting fragile and pitiful, her eyes brimming with tears as she called out to him.

"Pain… Pain… Pain…"

He frowned and looked at her helplessly. "It must hurt a bit, just bear with it!"

The tone unconsciously softened, making it sound like someone was coaxing a child when they listened.

She uttered a soft "hm," bit her lip, blinked a few times, and then in the next second, two tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Mommy—" The little guy anxiously almost spun in circles. He was really worried, so he foolishly grabbed the nimble bird sitting on his shoulder and handed it to Lin Meng.

"Mommy, don't cry, I'll play with you!"

Rong Ling suddenly raised her head, and sure enough, she saw two faint water streaks hanging on her face.

How could you cry!

He is worried.

"That hurts that badly!"

Lin Meng bit her lip and remained silent. But the look on her tear-stained face, no matter how you looked at it, was heartbreaking.

The little boy was doing great, frowning and helping his mommy speak.

"The teacher said, 'Human hearts are connected, so it must be very painful, very painful, very painful…'"

Every time she said the word "pain," the little girl's voice grew heavier. Rong Ling could only speed up, quickly sticking a bandage on her wound, then holding her and gently wiping away her tears with his hand while soothing her.

"Be good, don't cry. Youyou is watching. Don't let him laugh at you, Mommy!"

Xiao Youyou refused to accept it, feeling she had been slandered, and retorted loudly. "I would never make fun of Mommy!"

Rong Ling glared at the little guy again, thinking to herself, "This silly kid, how can he be so clueless at this moment He doesn't even know how to cooperate with me!"

Lin Meng felt that it was about time to call it quits, so she immediately nodded and reached out to hug Rong Ling, openly and honestly declaring her possession of Rong Ling!

Then Li Lanqiu's eyelids jumped, finally getting a chance to speak.

"Or, shall we go to the hospital It looks kind of serious!"

Lin Meng turned her waist and instead embraced Rong Ling's neck, making their closeness even more apparent.

"Don't go!"

She pouted. "I don't like going to the hospital!"

"But you care so much..."

"Just don't go!" Rong Ling scolded Lin Meng, rudely interrupting Li Lanqiu. "Staying at home is the same anyway!"

Li Lanqiu immediately reddened her eyes, looking at Rong Ling with some resentment.

"I was just looking out for her, you know I just had a little cut on my finger, nothing major. But she looked so much pain, so I thought we should go to the hospital just to check it out!"

This is a blatant accusation against Lin Meng. The intention behind it is rather sinister!

Rong Ling gave Li Lanqiu a cold look.

"I know about her wounds!"

It's not their turn to talk!

Li Lanqiu looked even more hurt, her eyes immediately reddening. Yet, she stubbornly bit her lip, remaining silent.

Rong Ling didn't cast too much attention on her, and looked back at Lin Meng, asking her softly.

"Does it still hurt!"

Lin Meng nodded naturally. "It still hurts a bit, it's kind of prickly!"

"It'll be alright in a little while, don't move that hand!"

"Hmm." She nodded obediently, but immediately frowned. "Rong Ling—"

She looked at him, as if she wanted to speak but couldn't.

He raised an eyebrow, silently inquiring.

“This, there are still some pots and pans unwashed in the kitchen, I――”

"Don't worry about it, don't go into the water until your hand is healed!"

But those pots and pans are just left there, untouched!

He immediately furrowed his handsome sword brows.

She then smiled sweetly, and walked over to gently kiss Rong Linglinmeng's lips in front of Li Lanqiu.

"Come on, will you wash it for me!"

Li Lanqiu rushed to speak. “I’ll go!”

"No way, there's no reason to let the guest do it!" Lin Meng shook her head, looking at Rong Ling, who was hanging on him like that, acting coquettishly. "Come on, just for a while, okay Please, please"

Li Lanqiu frowned. "Lin Meng, don't be so reserved, I'll do it! Rong doesn't like washing dishes!"

Saying that, he stood up by himself.

He seemed to know him very well!

But Rong Ling said, "Don't worry, just sit down. I'll do it!"

Li Lanqiu's eyes widened, staring at Rong Ling as if she were looking at a monster!

But Lin Meng didn't care. She cheered and smacked Rong Ling's face with a loud "pah!"

"I knew you'd be the best, heh heh..."

A woman's delight is hidden in her smile!

Rongling put her down from his lap and got up to go to the kitchen.

Lin Meng just smiled and looked at Li Lanqiu, saying nothing, just staring at her.

Li Lanqiu also smiled back, but the smile seemed a bit strained.

Actions speak louder than words, Lin Meng still dominated in the second round of the PK against Li Lanqiu!

But Li Lanqiu was not a pushover either, and immediately brought up Youyou.

"It's not too early anymore, is it almost time for Youyou to go to kindergarten Rong, are you going to take Youyou to school!"

This is going to get rid of either Lin Meng or Rong Ling!

The little guy was up to something, and immediately shouted.

"I had Uncle Ah Yi send it to me, I wouldn't want Father to send it! Father should stay home with Mother!"

Then, "screech screech screech," the little guy ran into the kitchen and in a childish voice specially entrusted Rong Ling.

"Daddy, Youyou is going to school now. You have to take good care of Mommy, okay Mommy got hurt!"

"I know, you don't have to teach me how to do this!"

The child was reprimanded but he just giggled and quickly packed his things to go to kindergarten!

The situation was immediately settled. Lin Meng let Li Lanqiu do as she pleased and went to find Rong Ling herself. However, after a while, laughter and Rong Ling's captivated sighs came from the kitchen. Hearing this, Li Lanqiu felt resentment in her heart, her face turned cold, and she returned to her own room.

Lin Meng is more difficult to deal with than she imagined. It seems that in the past few years, she has grown quite a bit!

And Rong Ling, was also much colder than she had estimated, which was very disadvantageous to her!

It seems the plan has changed, some things need to be done earlier than expected!

Then, at around 10:30 in the morning, a visitor came to the Rong family—Li Yiping!

"Hello, I'm here to look for Li Lanqiu. She lives here now, right"

Lin Meng suddenly felt agitated. How could it be that Li Lanqiu and Li Yiping were related! So, this was connected to the He family again! This roundabout way, how come the He family was so persistent!

Reluctant to let Li Yi-ping in, Lin Meng asked her through the video intercom.

"Who are you and her!"

"She is my cousin!" Li Yiping replied cheerfully.

Lin Meng's heart plummeted. In her mind, something vague flashed by, but she couldn't grasp it immediately!

There was no stopping Li Yi-Ping, so Lin Meng pressed a few buttons to open the electric gate, letting her in. At the same time, she went upstairs to tell Li Lan-Qiu that someone had come to see her.

The meeting between Li Lanqiu and Li Yiping made Lin Meng's eyelids twitch uncontrollably. Because, the daughter that Li Yiping brought, Bingbing, the little girl who had always been a thorn in her side, rushed towards Li Lanqiu happily as soon as she saw her.

"Aunty, I miss you so much!"

Li Lanqiu knelt down and hugged Bingbing very kindly. She held her tightly for a moment, then smiled and replied, “Your aunt also misses Bingbing so much, really misses her!”

It's clear that the relationship between this so-called aunt and niece is very close.

And Lin Meng, looking at the two small faces huddled together, suddenly realized that Bingbing actually looked quite a lot like Li Lanqiu!

Lin Meng is not stupid!

Not stupid at all!

Thinking back on all that has happened, her heart surged with emotion!
