He bumped forward, and she could feel that what was beneath her seemed even more terrifying. The foreshadowing of their affair, like a horn blowing, tightened her whole body. She licked her lips, cal..."My eyes see very clearly!" He was cold and sharp!

That's true, Lin Meng almost took on all the housework. (..tw) Although this way, she could peel off a layer of skin from the three sons of the Ruan family and prevent them from spending money recklessly, in the end, it was still her who suffered!

Rong Ling's attitude was resolute. He took out his phone and instructed someone to do it. Lin Meng panicked and jumped off the bed, rushing towards Rong Ling to grab his phone. However, she bumped her head into his arms as if she was embracing him.

"Don't you dare!"

She hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth, shaking her head vigorously.

He looked at her coldly, his phone still connected to the call. It seemed that this man had already made up his mind, he was determined to get her a nanny!

She gritted her teeth, and could only painfully agree. "Forget it," she said, "I'll just hire a nanny myself, okay!"

Her money, how pitiful! Her family planning, how pitiful! This man was born to bring her misfortune!

Rong Ling looked at her for a while, and reluctantly agreed. However, he told her to get things done as soon as possible, preferably by tomorrow, or else he would send someone over.

His domineering nature left her speechless. However, with no other choice, she could only nod in agreement!

At noon, everyone gathered to have porridge together, and Ruan Chengyang also came up. Now, except for him staying behind to look after Lin Meng, everyone else had gone to the company. This was the first time he'd shared a table with someone like Rong Ling, a figure of such high caliber. However, there wasn't much change in Ruan Chengyang's expression, he remained as gloomy as ever! This level of composure actually made Rong Ling take another look at Ruan Chengyang!

In the afternoon, Rong Ling personally took the little ones to Master Yan's place to learn martial arts. The little ones were very excited and followed along.

This is Daddy sending him to school personally!

Lin Meng looked at the piled-up sheets and blankets, really wanting to get out of bed and wash them. However, thinking of Rong Ling, she held back.

Because Rong Ling spoke up, Lin Meng had to contact a domestic help agency the next day to find a nanny. The agency was very efficient and quickly recommended a nanny to Lin Meng according to her requirements, stating that she could work for three days. If it wasn't suitable, they would change!

The nanny's name was Yu, a middle-aged woman who appeared quite gentle. She was 38 years old and had excellent service experience. It was said that she had been in this line of work for over ten years! Lin Meng interviewed this Ms. Yu and felt that she was very kind and not vulgar at all. Watching her tidy up the house, she was very quick and meticulous. Basically, Lin Meng was very satisfied and settled on her.

Hiring a nanny would inevitably increase the family's expenses. Lin Meng had already thought of what to tell the other members of the Ruan family. Because before New Year's Day, she and Ruan Chengyi had agreed to go south together after the new year, so when she left, someone needed to take care of the people at home. With a nanny, although there were extra expenses, it brought a lot of convenience to the family. And this money was something the family could afford. Of course, Lin Meng said that she would contribute the most because, looking at it this way, the one who needed the most care in the family was Xiao Youyou!

The three sons of the Ruan family were not narrow-minded people. Hearing Lin Meng say this, they also found it reasonable. After all, there were too many men in their family. Lin Meng was not there to be their mother, and she didn't have time to do laundry and cook for them every day. Therefore, they agreed on this.

Lin Meng went to Dàfēng Kindergarten again and requested withdrawal from the school.

She had always had this idea, but because Rong Ling was always there to persuade her, she suppressed it. However, the children in this kindergarten were indeed either wealthy or aristocratic, and they were not easy to mess with. Just take Rong Hengda from the Rong family, for example – he was a real headache.

Although Rong Ling promised Lin Meng afterward that he would protect her, his subsequent lack of trust and the incident at the Ice Sculpture Garden amusement park truly hurt her.

She was sick, and Rong Ling although made some tender gestures, this in the past, she might have been able to forgive him and let it go. But today, it's impossible. Hurt always reaches a certain degree, a degree that is unbearable. Once this degree is reached, it's impossible to forgive easily!

Moreover, her current status is indeed unsuitable to entangle too much with Rong Ling. Under such a premise, no matter what happens between her and him, she will be the one who gets hurt in the end!

The headmaster's heart skipped a beat when he heard Lin Meng's request to withdraw. He immediately thought quickly, trying to persuade Lin Meng to think it over for a few more days and not act impulsively. After all, Dafeng's excellent reputation in this city was top-notch; many parents went to great lengths to get their children into the school.

To become the headmaster of this prestigious academy, one must certainly be extraordinary. After a barrage of eloquent persuasion, Lin Meng could only wryly smile and bring the little ones home. She was no match for the headmaster's silver tongue; she decided to wait until her return from the south to bring up the matter of leaving school again. By then, she would have "taken time to consider," and it wouldn't be appropriate for the headmaster to object.

She didn't know that the moment she left, the headmaster immediately called Rong Ling and explained the whole situation to him.

Before this, Rong Ling was considered "luring the enemy in," so he didn't explain the situation to the headmaster, leading him to mistakenly believe that Lin Meng and Rong Ling had a superficial relationship. Only after Xiaoyouyou almost experienced a "operating table death" incident did Rong Ling no longer need to hide anything. He directly went to the headmaster and frankly spoke with him, more like issuing orders. The headmaster readily agreed to everything. At this point, in her heart, all the children in the entire Dàfēng Kindergarten couldn't compare to one Xiaoyouyou. Not a single parent in the entire kindergarten was as important as Lin Meng!

As soon as Lin Meng suggested taking Xiao Youyou out of school, the principal wouldn't have it! Naturally, she used all her skills to persuade her.

Rong Ling finished listening to the story and chatted briefly with the headmaster, instructing her that he would handle the matter and let her continue taking good care of Lin Meng and her son before hanging up.

As soon as the phone was put down, Rong Ling narrowed his eyes, a glimmer flashing in his deep eyes!

This little woman is really going to argue with him!

After tapping his fingers, the cunning man immediately decided to start a policy of appeasement, and moreover, it had to be done subtly!

That night, she mumbled about her plan to leave him, but he kept it in his heart. That little woman wanted to leave There was no way! The one he had his eyes on would be found, even if she ran to the ends of the earth, he would bring her back!

The next day, someone reported to Rong Ling that Lin Meng and the Ruan family had gone south, bringing Little Youyou with them. Rong Ling wasn't in a hurry, issued a few orders after, and continued his meeting. He only called Lin Meng at noon.

"Where are you now!" He sounded like he had no idea she was already far away.

Lin Meng was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Rong Ling to call her. Her cold had completely gone away, and he knew that too. She thought his gentleness should end there. Then he continued his Rong Ling-style life, and she Lin Meng walked her own path!

"I was passing by on my way to a meeting, so I picked up Youyou and took her to Old Mr. Yan's place. Where are you now with the children" Someone continued to act there.

Lin Meng bit her lip and thought for a moment, but ultimately couldn't lie to Rong Ling. She knew the truth would eventually come out; paper can't contain fire. She had been gone with the little one for so long that even if she didn't say anything, Rong Ling would surely find out in the end! So, she decided to explain her whereabouts.

She is still on the train!

Rong Ling was silent for two seconds before criticizing Lin Meng impolitely.

"Since Youyou is learning martial arts from Old Master Yan, she should be dedicated to it. Martial arts training forbids being half-hearted! Either don't learn at all, or if you decide to learn, stick with it consistently. Even in wind and rain, you must go for training every day without fail. This is the utmost respect for Old Master Yan and the minimum responsibility you owe yourself!"

Lin Meng's face flushed with shame, speechless.

Over there, Rong Ling harshly and directly commanded, "No matter what, you send Youyou back now. Doing business, which day isn't it done It doesn't make a difference these few days!"

“No, Youyou has to stay with me!” She bit her lip, looking out the car window at the gray hills that kept swaying past. Her expression became determined. “Don’t worry, I’ll supervise Youyou’s martial arts training every day and make sure he doesn’t fall behind. When I get back, I’ll take Youyou to Mr. Yan immediately to continue his lessons. I spoke with Mr. Yan before this trip, and he agreed. He understands!”

Rong Ling sneered coldly. “You run around doing business, how can you supervise your child! Can you even bring your child with you everywhere! Even if so, you should consider your child! He's so young, running around with you like this will surely wear him down!”

"Me..." Lin Meng was speechless for a moment. Leaving the child at the inn was impossible; it would be even more unsettling than leaving her in City B. She truly wanted the child by her side. She had also considered that the child would be tired, but there was simply no other way.

"I will try my best not to tire the child..."

Every mother loves her child! She will definitely do everything she can to take good care of the child!

Rong Ling snorted coldly on the other side, seemingly unconvinced by her assurance!

Lin Meng felt a bit conflicted in her heart.

Rong Ling started to be silent.

Lin Meng couldn't hear the sound, and she felt a little suffocated. She was also somewhat uneasy in her heart. After all, letting the child run around with her wasn't the best idea. And during the confrontation with Rong Ling, she was mostly at a disadvantage. Rong Ling was too strong, too capable, and too skilled. When he criticized her, although she would be annoyed, most of the time she still felt very rationally that what Rong Ling said made sense.

Thus, the longer Rong Ling remained silent, the more uneasy she felt in her heart.

Of course she didn't know, all of this was within Rong Ling's scheme. The current silence was also a psychological war played by Rong Ling.

After a good while had passed, and Lin Meng's psychological defenses had weakened somewhat, Rong Ling finally spoke up. He didn't allow her to refute him as he decided resolutely, "Since that's the case, then let it be this way. I'll have Ah Yi go find you. Ah Yi is someone who has retired from the military, his character is absolutely trustworthy, and his martial arts skills are also very impressive. You can't delay Youyou's martial arts lessons, so have Ah Yi be responsible for supervising and teaching Youyou every day. Since I personally sent Youyou to Old Master Yan, I have this responsibility to take care of him well, not to lose face for me! And you don't take him out running around, just keep him in the hotel. With Ah Yi by his side, you can rest assured, absolutely won't let anything happen to the little guy!"

Lin Meng frowned slightly.

Rong Ling didn't explain, coldly asking, "Where are you getting off Tell me the location and I'll have Ai Yi go there immediately!"

"This... isn't this too much trouble!" she mumbled.

"Tell me where you want to get off, now!" Rong Ling suddenly became stern.

Lin Meng's body stiffened, and she reflexively reported her address. Just as she was about to slap herself in regret, Rong Ling said calmly, "That's decided," and hung up the phone exceptionally quickly.

Lin Meng froze, holding her phone, suddenly a headache came on. She also felt a little angry at herself for lacking backbone, being scolded by Rong Ling, she immediately surrendered!

However, she smiled with satisfaction at the outcome.

So, Lin Meng took Xiao Youyou's hand and as soon as they stepped out of the train station, they saw Ah Yi, who was tall and imposing. Rong Ling had already sent Ah Yi's photo to Lin Meng's phone, so Lin Meng was able to recognize him.

She's not unfamiliar with this guy, she's met him before. After seeing his photo, she started to guess if he was Rong Ling's bodyguard or something!

Ah Yi also knew Lin Meng, the figure was too familiar. Seeing Lin Meng and Xiao You You, Ah Yi quickly strode forward, calling out to "Lin Meng" like an old friend, which surprised those accompanying him, including Ruan Cheng Yi, Ruan Cheng Hui, and Li Yuan. Everyone didn't expect that Lin Meng would actually arrange someone to pick them up!

Lin Meng could only smile faintly, using her smile to mask everything. When introducing Ah Yi to others, she simply said that he was her "friend"!

The word "friend" is very broad. As long as someone isn't an enemy, they can basically be called a friend. She was too lazy to weave lies to deceive everyone, she just said it in passing, right Luckily, Ruan Chengyi and the others were all adults, and there was still a layer of separation between Lin Meng and them, so they didn't directly ask for clarification!

Ah Yi ignored the little boy's wide, round eyes and laughed as he scooped him up in his arms. His attitude was incredibly affectionate, causing some onlookers to stare, but he didn't say much else.

Even the little guy has seen this before. That day, this big burly uncle forcibly took him away from his mommy and kept him locked up all night. The little guy is still a bit angry with this big guy, which is directly expressed by him pouting.

Ayi didn't seem to mind, and his usually stern face was surprisingly beaming with a smile. As a soldier, he cared most for his comrades and the children of his superiors! Especially when this child had such vigor and was clearly a good seed to be a soldier!

"You mustn't neglect your martial arts training, these days I'm in charge of teaching you!"

The little fellow was taken aback, not understanding how another him had appeared! But the little fellow was clever after all. He remembered that this other self was following Rong Ling, so his eyes lit up and he nodded, a smile appearing on his delicate face.

Those accompanying him naturally had their curiosity piqued, but Lin Meng remained silent. They could only suppress their inquisitiveness! After all, they were here on business and some matters were best left untouched to avoid unnecessary complications.

Several people went to the hotel they had booked in advance. Naturally, Ah Yi was "very lucky" and also booked a room next to Lin Meng's. When everyone went back to their rooms to unpack, Lin Meng took Xiao Youyou to Ah Yi's room. The two sides formally met each other. The little guy also knew that this was Rong Ling who specially sent him over to teach him martial arts, so he became even more excited. In the room, the little guy received a call from Rong Ling and chatted with him for a while. So, basically these days, the little guy was handed over to Ah Yi!

It was almost noon when several people had a meal together. Ah Yi also came! He said he was here to teach the young ones, but in reality, he was also here to protect them and Lin Meng. Even in times of peace, you never know what might happen when you're out doing business.

Once everyone sat down at the dinner table, their relationships instantly became closer.

This time out, everyone including Ruan Chengyi each brought their own assistants. This was for the convenience of work, and also to cultivate these assistants well, so that they could stand on their own in the company when it grew larger in the future. At this dinner table, with more people came more lively conversation, and there were fewer worries about what to say. Because Ah Yi and Lin Meng, as well as Xiao Youyou, had basically gotten to know each other well. At this point, Ah Yi introduced himself, being a little more open, saying that he and Lin Meng were old acquaintances, and also briefly explaining his past military identity.

When this identity was revealed, everyone was overjoyed. Soldiers are known for being reliable, honest, and capable fighters. With Ah Yi by their side, the group felt like they had a bodyguard, allowing them to feel much safer in their actions. As a result, everyone quickly grew closer to Ah Yi.

Those who could stay by Rong Ling's side were certainly not reckless fools. Ah Yi brought it up at the right time, asking his cousin to lead the way for them. His cousin was a tour guide and was now idle at home anyway. Since Ruan Chengyi and others came to this southern city, they were unfamiliar with the place. Having a tour guide would be very convenient.

Business people shouldn't be too rigid. After a little thought, Ruan Chengyi readily agreed. He thought this person seemed quite upright and trustworthy. Even if he wasn't trustworthy, there wasn't much for him to scheme about with these people. Because their visit was also targeted, they weren't afraid of being tricked! Having someone to guide them would save them some detours and improve efficiency. He thought to himself, if these two were really here to help, he would thank them well after the matter was settled!

Thus, Ah Yi's little cousin arrived soon. This woman named Li Xing'er looked to be in her mid-twenties, with a sunny disposition and an air of grace. She had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and when she smiled, two small dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth. She was a sweet girl, and she seemed to have the charisma of a tour guide.

Li Xing'er was quick-witted and fluent when she spoke about this city. When Ruan Chengyi "casually" asked about the locations of several companies, she could answer immediately which street and road they were on. It seemed like she was a tour guide!

Everyone was overjoyed, this is a huge help, and it's someone we know!

They, even Lin Meng, didn't know that this Li An'er was actually sent by Rong Ling. The child has someone protecting him, the child's mother can't be left behind either!

Feng Ling only cares about a few people in her life, so she has to protect each and every one of them carefully; she can't afford to lose even one!

Especially her!for a long time, she was about to become impatient. But she wasn't a foolish woman, Li Lanqiu showing up at this time definitely wouldn't be for good!This is a woman's intuition!She coldly refused. "I...
