e tremor from her smile traveling to her lips through their connected touch, causing them to tremble as well. Her soft lips brushed against his. So tender, so delicate, so adorable!Rong Ling thought p...The car went directly to the underground garage, where there were elevators that reached each floor, avoiding any potential attention Lin Meng might have received in a large bathrobe.Upon entering the house, Rong Ling immediately sent Xu Yi, who had been waiting inside, away. Xu Yi didn't ask much and left with her bag.

Rong Ling turned her head to look at Lin Meng. Her long hair, still wet from the bath, dripped water. Her face was pale, lacking much color. Her petite frame hidden beneath the towel seemed even more sickly and frail.

He looked at her, and she slowly lowered her head. He frowned. "Go take a shower and change your clothes!"

Even though he was angry, he still put her well-being first. He worried about her health and didn't want her to catch a cold.

She hummed in response, picked up the replacement clothes, and went to the bathroom.

Watching her go in and close the door, Rong Ling only felt a bit agitated as he twisted his neck. He looked down at himself, realizing his clothes were damp and sticky. The moisture from her body had inevitably rubbed onto him when they had been tightly hugging each other earlier. He frowned and returned to the bedroom, changing into a fresh set of clothes. Fortunately, there were several sets of his clothes here, so he didn't have to bother sending someone out to buy new ones. As he changed, he couldn't help but reminisce about all the little things that had happened these past few days.

Actually, for him to go to city B, it wasn't necessary to rush and stay there for so long. He had only just returned from city B a few days ago, and he had already finished dealing with most of the matters that required his personal attention. The things he handled this trip didn't require him to be physically present; remote control was sufficient. After all, his huge East Asia Group wasn't raising idlers to eat their wages. His subordinates who went out were each capable and could hold up a piece of the sky on their own.

And he had to leave, and leave so hurriedly, naturally because of the woman bathing right now.

The rumors spreading through school naturally didn't affect him, but for that little woman who was studying there, it was unavoidable. He had tasted the bitterness of public opinion before, so even though he had the ability to silence the rumors, for her sake, he still needed to disappear for a while. That way, with the most important male character gone, no matter how big the rumors were, they wouldn't cause any waves. As time passed and the school settled down for a few days, this matter would naturally be forgotten.

Of course, this wasn't his most important objective. Before leaving, he had dispatched subordinates to investigate Lin Meng. They had already returned with some investigation reports. Lin Bao, he had truly underestimated the wildness of that middle-aged man and overestimated humanity's capacity for depravity. He was actually willing to treat his own daughter as nothing more than a tool, desperately trying to squeeze every last drop of sweat from her to serve him wholeheartedly. He could imagine how that naive woman, clinging to familial affection, would, under duress, repeatedly submit herself against her will. With her circumstances, age, and experiences, she simply couldn't stand up to those with vast life experience. They could manipulate her with little effort, leaving her utterly bewildered.

He -- he must do something!

Of course, he couldn't directly warn Lin Pao to behave himself and stop eyeing his woman. That was out of the question. It wasn't that Lin Pao wouldn't listen, it was just that things had escalated to a point where it was no longer up to him.

Who is Lin Bao In this vast city of J, he might not be a small fish, but he's hardly a big one either. It's the law of nature: big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat mud. Lin Bao has some ability to stir things up, but once he encounters a bigger fish, he's done for.

Now the dangerous ones are those big fish who are getting restless!

He didn't care to delve into how those big fish had become interested in Lin Meng. But as a man, and a man of high standing, he could also guess at the thoughts of men who had achieved fame and fortune. They had money and power; their lives already lacked much passion and amusement. When money was merely a collection of data, competing with others, or rather, comparing themselves to others, became one of their few sources of excitement in life.

Lin Meng, she was his woman. And he, the president of the renowned Asia-East Group, ranked among the top fifty in the world. Yet, Lin Meng's status was so low that those bigwigs could take a bite anytime. So, everyone set their sights on her. Perhaps, by obtaining her, this little wife who followed the big president, they could also flaunt their unparalleled status. This idea was like everyone vying to have dinner with or date a big star.

If this were in city B, naturally no one would be foolish enough to have inappropriate thoughts about his woman. But this isn't city B, it's city J. While he could command the wind and rain in city B, here in city J, although he is still a powerful dragon, those big fish are locals, true snakes of this land. They haven't truly put this powerful dragon in their eyes. Perhaps they all think: even a strong dragon can't overcome the local snakes. You, this strong dragon, what are you

So, he needed a chance to give those short-sighted big fish a good beating, establish his authority, and warn them at the same time. He wanted them to know when to back down and stop crossing him. ( ..tw好看的小說) He hated it when other men looked at his woman with lustful eyes, and he hated seeing her live in fear. But he couldn't muster the courage a man should have to give her a safe haven!

So, he had to leave!

He spent the day in J city. Those eager fish hesitated all day, waiting to see who would make the first move or secretly trying to find the most suitable time to strike. Rong Ling was never accustomed to being passive. In a battle like this, being passive would put him at a huge disadvantage. His strength lay in turning passivity into proactivity. Only by gaining the initiative could he steer the situation in his desired direction.

So, he left city J and intentionally gave those big fish a perfect opportunity. And, he deliberately stayed in city B without returning, giving them the impression that he didn't care much about that little woman. If they wanted to make a move, then go ahead. Sure enough, there were quite a few who were eager to act, but these people had become shrewd. At most, they only made some small moves—testing the waters, still testing. This made him so angry in city B that he wanted to curse: They had the heart of a thief but not the guts!

Fortunately, a fool who thought he could walk sideways finally emerged and managed to get in touch with Lin Bao. When he confirmed the plans of these two people, he immediately took a private jet back to city J. He was exhausted from his journey but just had time for a quick shower before things changed. That idiot didn't even wait for nightfall before eagerly taking action. It really got his blood boiling. Just then, he had a fire in his heart that needed an outlet. Now, he could let loose and give those people a good lesson.

To his surprise, the idiot turned out to be a complete pervert. His plan to break a few of her bones and leave her bedridden for half a year changed. He imagined that damned whip lashing viciously across that woman's back, leaving hideous scars. Then he pictured all sorts of things tormenting that woman's body, and he almost wanted to kill the yellow-haired man right then. He himself couldn't bear to hurt her too much. Every time he possessed her, he thought about being as careful as possible. Every time he wanted her, he thought about how young she was, how frail her body was, and that she still had school in the morning, so it was best not to go too far. But what surprised him was that the woman he protected with all his heart could be humiliated like this by others!

To bear or not to bear!

It was inevitable that he should die!

He will let all those big fish in City J know that this little woman, from now on, they absolutely can't lay a finger on her again! Otherwise, their fate will be the second Yellow Dream!

Killing one to warn a hundred, very clever!

He thought he had planned everything perfectly. Now that the little woman no longer had to worry, her worries were gone. From now on, he could live a carefree life with her. Moreover, after going through this ordeal, the little woman should know that her relatives and friends were unreliable, even her parents. Those so-called friends were just like farting; she could completely ignore them! The only one she could rely on was him! So, she had to focus all her attention on him, treating him with all her heart!

Look, see what that little woman has done these days!

He had only been gone for a day, and she brought a man into the house. All the things he said before leaving turned to nothing when they reached her. This was the first time anyone had disregarded his words so blatantly.

I called her a day late, and she dared to throw a tantrum. When I asked if something was wrong, she could smile and say nothing was!

Is everything alright

Nothing's wrong!

He sent people to keep an eye on her 24/7. Doesn't he know if she's okay She was chased by four punks and tricked around by that little bad boy Gu Jianxi, and she still dares to say she's fine!

Angry!

She would get angry, wouldn't he!

He had just returned to City B, dealing with some rather thorny matters and holding an emergency meeting. When it was over, it was already late, but he still wanted to call her back so she wouldn't have to wait anxiously. However, he had always been rushing in and out, running around various places, and those old friends from the past were asking for a reunion, which he couldn't refuse.

In this country, there's really only one kind of situation like this. Even if you're in a high position, these kinds of interpersonal relationships require your time and attention. They are all successful second-generation wealthy individuals or children of officials; each one has intricate webs of interests behind them, and none can be easily offended. As the host of this gathering, he had to attend and deal with those familiar and unfamiliar faces. It wasn't that he was afraid of them, but if he wanted to make a living in this country, he couldn't afford to make enemies with them. These people are mostly cunning and manipulative. They can chat and laugh with you amicably, but if you even slightly neglect them, they will find a way to get back at you!

This is the most absurd and unrestrained human world in this country!

Every time I come down, it's both tiring and makes me want to laugh! Laugh out loud!

It feels like a bunch of weirdos!

Dinner parties, karaoke, dancing, billiards, mahjong...

Everything was in disarray. He looked at his watch and realized it was already 3:00 AM. Thinking she must be asleep by now, he didn't call her. When he got back home, he fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, he thought she was already at school so he didn't call. Then, he ran around, visiting several branch offices to check on the business. In the evening, he carefully listened to his subordinates' latest report about her, hoping for a detailed account of her experience, but she simply said—it's nothing!

He was so angry that he immediately hung up the phone!

Since she said it's fine, he has no reason to worry about her for nothing! She's so capable and proud, let her figure things out herself!

She was dead, but he couldn't truly leave her be. He kept his men on 24-hour shifts to watch over her. Gu Jianxi knew his limits, not being too cruel. He wanted to design a plan to make Lin Meng like him. Rong Ling thought this kid was pretty bold; when it was time to act, he acted, and for the outcome, he didn't hesitate to use any means necessary. This man, if he added some more years, would probably be a formidable general.

But, all of this hinges on the fact that he can't touch his wronged woman!

Guo Jianxi has hundreds of ways to treat other women, and he can watch with an appreciative attitude. But if Guo Jianxi recklessly approaches his woman, Rong Ling will refuse. This kind of man allows himself to be bad, deceitful, and cunning towards his own woman, but he absolutely won't allow other men to be bad, deceitful, or cunning towards his woman! He won't even allow other men to bully his woman!

This is also his principle -- his own woman, he can bully; but other men, absolutely not!

Guo Jianxi had made up his mind. After the matter was settled, he would thoroughly pick on him.

However, the old master of the Gu family in Kyoto City held considerable influence. He also had his own network within the military, making him someone not to be trifled with. To surpass the old master and teach him a lesson, Guo Jianxi needed to plan carefully!

Later, seeing that Gu Jianxi fought with Lin Meng and so many people without caring about his own safety, it made people feel that this young man was also quite bloody and not a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. He resembled himself when he was young, so he changed his mind and let Gu Jianxi go.

Kalin's dream, this little woman, after sending the text message, shutting down her phone, made him very unhappy!

Perhaps Lin Bao and Huang Liang conspired about something, forcing her to do this. But she didn't even say a word to him personally before so easily giving away her body. What did she think he was He worked so hard for her, running back and forth, exhausting his brain cells planning all this, enduring for so many days. Was it all just to see a light and airy text message from her saying she was going to sell herself

Damn it!

Thinking this, he let out another low curse!

That little woman, he sometimes felt like he understood her quite well, but when faced with a similar situation, he felt confused and unable to see through her. He didn't understand what she was thinking! She stood alone in the bathroom, not even taking off her clothes, just letting the water wash over her. Her face was pale as a ghost, her eyes hollow like a wandering spirit. It was clear she didn't want this, yet how could she think of turning it off! And sending that kind of message, was she provoking him!

If it weren't for his men following her all the time, would he have been able to find her so quickly at that moment! If he hadn't arrived in time, she would have been tortured by that old pervert several times by now! She thought, can everyone be as good as him In matters of sex, he always considers her feelings! That old pervert, after one encounter, could leave a person completely drained!

She really won't shed a tear until she sees her own coffin!

He should really grab her and beat her up!

Thinking of this, he became annoyed. He habitually reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette, but he realized he was wearing new pants. So, he picked up the old pants that had been thrown aside and checked his pocket, but found nothing. Suddenly, he remembered that he had just come out of the bathroom not long ago, and was going to get water from the refrigerator when he heard his phone ringing. It was a text message. So, he took the mineral water and went back, picked up the phone that was lying aside and flipped through it. His phone had dual SIM cards, one number was for friends everywhere. The other number was only known to those who were particularly close to him, with very few people inside. And that number also prevented the harassment of random text messages. Therefore, the text message he received must have been sent by his special person, which required him to take it seriously.

After reading the text message, his face darkened. He turned to He Ya, who was playing games on the LCD TV, and asked her if she had received any calls. She replied languidly that the woman had called twice. She said he was taking a shower and didn't wake him up, but told Lin Meng to wait a while and call again.

He probably knew He Ya was somewhat clever, perhaps things weren't as simple as she said, but it shouldn't be too far off. Her cleverness was something he'd turned a blind eye to, and he didn't want to say anything about it specifically. He just immediately called Lin Meng, but got a response of "out of service"!

Shut down!

Very good, a certain little woman, really bold!

Then, he immediately contacted his men. Upon learning that it was Lin Bao who led people into the hotel, he knew things were bad. In a hurry, he returned to his bedroom, took off his bathrobe and changed his clothes, rushing over in a jiffy. In the haste, besides the most basic car keys, cards, and phone, even his handgun seemed to have been left behind! Now he couldn't even get a cigarette!

His agitated heart desperately needed herbs to soothe it at this moment. Otherwise, he didn't know what he would do when that little woman came out clean! Would he hit her Scold her Possess her crazily Or would they just stare at each other in silence, slamming the door and leaving

It seems, any of them is possible!

He has already indulged her to the extreme! He also feels that he has done his best!

But she...

Frowning, he tousled his hair and tightened his brows. Turning around, he strode out with big steps! In the entryway, he put on his shoes, opened the door, and it slammed shut with a loud "creak." The elevator ride was about ten floors long. Just as he reached the elevator and was about to press the button, he heard another "creak" from behind the door. A gust of wind seemed to blow in from behind him, carrying the scent of bath soap.

"Where are you going!"

That soft voice, laced with urgency and a hint of crying, asked him.

He turned around and saw her still wrapped in that large bath towel, with a head full of foamy hair running towards him. At a glance, you could tell she had just finished washing her hair. She ran a little too fast, forgetting to even put on her shoes, and just came out barefoot. Her fair feet stepped onto the concrete floor which, even in summer, seemed somewhat cold, making one feel a bit sorry for her. Her hair hung loosely, with clumps of foam piled up like a messy haystack, making her whole head look disheveled and comical. However—Rong Ling couldn't bring himself to laugh.

I can't laugh at her like this!

Her eyes, her face, her mouth, and the sight of her running out with a head full of foam and barefoot were all telling one thing: she was in a hurry!

But what was she in such a hurry about!

"Rong Ling, don't leave!"

She cried out urgently, her eyes red. She took a few steps forward and grabbed his arm directly. Her white hand, so delicate and frail, looked as if it could be broken with ease, but she clutched it tightly, so tightly that he felt a slight pain where she was holding him!

原來，she was worried about him leaving!

Was I out of line because I was afraid he would leave!

The bathroom was still running, gurgling and sputtering. He could hear the water even as he walked past it on his way out. How could she feel his leaving through all that noise

Is it listening intently to his every move

So, he always felt contradictory feelings toward this little woman - both lovable and hateful!

He reached out and slowly but powerfully pulled her arm away.

Her face paled, her slender hand dropped limply, and she stared at him, suddenly tears welling up in her eyes. For a moment, the sadness in those eyes seemed to drain the color from the entire world. She quickly reached out to wipe away the tear that had escaped, but her hand was still covered with some shampoo foam. Rubbing it against her eye only made the shampoo sting and tears flowed even more freely. She abruptly lowered her head, hiding the tears from him, stubbornly trying to conceal her vulnerability and embarrassment!

He let out a low sigh in his heart, thinking to himself, why would there be such women in this world! It's fine if they exist, but why did he have to run into one!

"I... I was just buying a pack of cigarettes!" He offered an explanation, instead of leaving coldly without a word and letting her misunderstand. This -- there was a kind of helpless compromise in it, just like his own half.

Her wiping tears, paused for a moment.

He looked up at him with rabbit-like, red and swollen eyes. His pitch-black pupils flickered with surprise and comfort.

Then, as if she had thought of something, her face flushed slightly, and she grinned, like a naive little girl.

Well, I'll be waiting for you to come back!

After finishing, she ran back barefoot, her leapings form causing her messy hair to dance lightly. Patches of white foam fell down one by one, some landing on her white bath towel and some on the silver-grey floor, like snowflakes. Then, what was she A snow spirit!

He blinked slightly!

She did not go into the house, she just turned and stood in the hallway, her black eyes wide open, staring at him silently.

The elevator arrived at this moment, the doors swinging open with a soft hum. He glanced at her, then turned and stepped inside. The elevator doors closed between them in the space of their gaze, cutting off their connection. He naturally didn't see that once the doors shut, the slight upward curve to her lips, the hint of a smile, instantly vanished, replaced by a downturn as if she were about to cry.

When he came back after ten minutes, as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned.

“You’re back!” She nearly leaped to her feet, rising abruptly from where she sat in the entryway. As if caught in a great surprise, she completed a leap into the air! Looking at him, a slight upturn played at the corner of her mouth, but her slender white fingers seemed to be fumbling, intertwining helplessly as if unsure how to arrange them.

He was slightly taken aback. How long had she been here! Could it be that she would sit here like this the whole time, waiting for him to come back! She had changed her clothes, probably after taking a shower. A white shirt with black English letters on the front gave off a hint of trendiness, paired with matching colored shorts, giving off a very student-like vibe. Looking at her, she was refreshingly different. At the same time, the sharp contrast between black and white highlighted her fair skin and dark eyes, making her appear both clean and as if everything about her could be seen through.

Her hair was dripping wet, still with water droplets running down her strands. It seemed she had rushed to wash and change before sitting here waiting for him.

Why!

Afraid he won't come back!

He... but he didn't know what to say!

This girl always melts his heart with her silent gestures. She never acts like other women, being coquettish and showering him with sweet words. She's quiet, like a flower blossoming softly, standing out amidst the riot of colors and fragrances. You can't help but notice her in that sea of passion. Once she captures your heart, it becomes difficult to resist her pull. Every little detail, even her continued silence, is enough to make you lose yourself in its depths.

He narrowed his eyes, took off his shoes, and walked inside. She hurried to follow behind him, like a loyal little shadow.

He sank into the sofa and pulled out his brand new, just-opened Huawei phone. She reached out and whispered, "Let me!"

It's very light, so much so that it's impossible to resist.

Easily, she took the cigarette from his hand, then the lighter, and clumsily pulled out a cigarette from its pack. She flicked the lighter twice before it caught, then lit the cigarette. Then, using her thumb and forefinger, she pinched the end of the cigarette, palm down, and brought it to his lips. Such an action was simply childish and pitiful. A mature woman should, after lighting a cigarette, gracefully hold it between her index finger and middle finger, with her crimson lips seductively taking a puff. As she exhaled in a cloud of smoke like a fairy, she would then gently pass the cigarette to him, imitating the very same act she had just performed. That's how you truly captivate a man. Several of his past companions had done just that.

Look at her, she's not exactly holding a cigarette, it's more like she's squeezing it, pursed lips, wide, bright eyes, she's very seriously putting the cigarette into his mouth, as if making a solemn offering.

He -- suddenly lost the urge to smoke!

He raised his hand, skillfully taking the cigarette she was holding between her fingers and extinguishing it in the ashtray.

She was stunned, her eyes dropping low, a pallor on her face.

"I'm so sorry!" she whispered. "I always mess everything up!"

Her voice was still soft, but with each word, it pierced his heart, clear and unmistakable.

“I might be useless, you… are angry, aren’t you!” A helpless sigh.

Before, he would definitely say something, but now, he hasn't said a word. What could he possibly say It’s natural to be angry, should he force himself to suppress his anger and coax her softly!

No, absolutely not!

To her, he was absolutely impossible to soften his heart again.

"I thought... you were still in B city, I thought you and ...and she were ...like that. You guys, aren't actually like that, are you"

She looked up at him, her eyes full of anticipation.eemed they had all accumulated over the three-day New Year's holiday. She figured other hospitals were probably just as crowded. There was no choice but to queue up and wait for her turn.She had a c...
