capable than others. But looking at him now, Gao Xi suddenly realized he was wrong, and terribly so.This towering man wasn't just outstanding; he was a dark king! His gentle features and faint smile...Chapter name: 243

"Where is Youyou Why hasn't she come back!"

What must be asked when riding the wind. .tw[]

Lin Meng tugged at the corner of her lips and smiled. "He said he's going to eat with his godfather."

Jiang Cheng swept a cold glance towards Rong Ling, tilting his head slightly as he spoke in a teasing tone. “That lightbulb seems to be working a bit too hard!”

Lin Meng couldn't quite bring herself to laugh.

"Just friends!"

Somehow, she explained, a little too hastily. It was understandable, after all, because Jiang Chengfeng knew too much about her, including her and Rong Ling's secrets. So all her evasive actions would seem rather ridiculous in front of this man. Perhaps it was also because this man was Jiang Pohai’s brother, the brother she admired, so in some ways, she also yearned for his recognition and blessing.

Jiang Cheng drank a sip of wine before his meal, lowering his eyes. A cold glint flashed in them.

"What are you panicking about!"

He suddenly asked.

She suddenly felt embarrassed, "No... no panic!" But even she felt her reply was a bit strained.

Jiang Cheng sighed as he rode the wind. “Mengmeng, what on earth are you doing! Haven't you learned your lesson yet You had to run headfirst into trouble, get yourself injured and bleed before you even think of turning back!"

Lin Meng lowered her head, a flicker of confusion in her eyes, a hint of bitterness rising in her heart. From afar, across numerous tables and guests, she glanced at Rong Ling sitting there with the woman named Zhuo Yiyi. Taking a deep breath, she suppressed all negative emotions and faintly evoked a smile.

"I'm not panicking, he said he's a friend, so he's just a friend. I believe him!"

This saying, spoken to Jiang Chengfeng, is also spoken to herself!

Jiang Chengfeng's heart immediately flashed a pang of pity. Such a foolish woman! How could there be such a foolish woman in this world! But she was also a very genuine woman, so she truly shouldn't have to encounter such unfair or cruel treatment.

“Since we’re just ordinary friends, let’s have a drink together and eat! How about it” He wasn't planning on letting go of this good fortune with Rong Ling. That Zhu Yiyi woman, according to his powerful and terrifying memory, he was certain that he hadn’t forgotten the connection between Zhu Yiyi and Rong Ling. Before, he thought that woman was just an insignificant pawn, but now it seems, being able to get Rong Ling to bring her to this place, she really is quite capable.

Since we've run into each other, we should definitely catch up!

Jiang Cheng's suggestion left Lin Meng hesitant; she didn't think it was a good idea.

Ke Jiang's performance was becoming increasingly aggressive. "How is it that, given your relationship, you still need to maintain such distance even when dining at the same restaurant You have to sit at separate tables!"

His question was rather pointed, and also quite merciless. As ... (tw) had said, he knew everything about her and Rong Ling's relationship, so his proposal made her feel even more flustered and helpless.

Having thought about it for a moment, he glanced at the woman's face bathed in the soft light. Her gentle smile was almost imperceptible, but its warmth finally caused Lin Meng to purse his lips slightly. He made up his mind and said, "Alright."

Lin Meng returned, and Jiang Chengfeng followed. This didn't surprise Rong Ling. Those who were meant to come would always come, and he and Jiang Chengfeng weren't friends.

An enemy is not a friend!

"Rong Ling, if you don't mind, why don't we sit together and eat"

Lin Meng smiled faintly, her clear eyes gazing steadily at Rong Ling. There was innocence within them, yet they also shone with a tenacious and unwavering light.

Rong Ling nodded, though she didn't want to complicate the situation. Since she had spoken like that, he couldn't refuse her.

A Western restaurant is inherently a setting where people sit together, offering little privacy. He brought Zhu Yiyi here openly because he sought an honest and straightforward ending. Since she stumbled upon them, he wouldn't choose to evade or conceal anything. Those who intended to create trouble would inevitably stir things up. Her knowledge of this affair was merely a matter of time!

At the very least, right now this Jiang Chengfeng who came with Lin Meng, this infamous head of the serious crimes unit, is a bad apple you can't ignore!

The waiter at the Western restaurant immediately and efficiently rearranged the seating and followed up on the menu.

After everyone had settled into their seats, Zhuo Yiy's face immediately fell. This dinner was supposed to be hers and Rong Ling's, but suddenly others joined them. One small addition she could have tolerated, but another appeared - the biggest one she hated most, accompanied by a man with piercing eyes!

This man's gaze made her extremely uncomfortable. It felt like it was piercing through her, hitting her with such intensity. This look reminded her of the first time she saw Rong Ling. Back then, when she smiled and turned back, she met the same kind of probing gaze. She felt as though under this gaze, she was stripped bare, exposed in every way, unable to hide anything.

That day, the spring scenery was brilliant, she walked out of the company with a bag. Before she even left the administrative hall of the company, calls from her female colleagues came from behind.

"Little One! Little One! Wait for me, Little One!...

"

Xiaoguai is a nickname given to her by family and friends because she has always looked like an obedient child since she was young, so she got this nickname. A colleague at [..tw超多好看小說] company once accidentally learned about her nickname and started calling her that.

When she heard the sound and turned her head, she didn't look at her colleague. Her gaze first fixed on a man. Because once her eyes fell on him, she couldn't take them away, because she was out of control.

His gaze was so sharp, so penetrating, and with a hint of blood-red ferocity. That look, like a savage and hungry wolf suddenly spotting its prey, and she, was that very prey. She was trapped in his gaze, scrutinized by him harshly, as if being scanned by X-rays, every inch of her, inside and out exposed. It seemed even the marrow in her bones was seen through by this man.

She felt like she was going to be torn apart by him!

She began to tremble, unable to control her shaking.

Yet, as she held her breath, her heart skipped a beat uncontrollably. Despite the man's aggressive gaze and the menacing aura he exuded, there was no denying it: this was the most handsome man she had ever seen. His coldness couldn't hide his captivating charm; instead, it added to his air of superiority.

This is a deadly attraction!

So, she was both afraid and ashamed, standing there frozen until a rather rough colleague pushed her.

"Little sweetheart, why are you rushing like that!" a colleague teased. "We agreed you'd stay after work to go shopping with me! You're such a naughty little girl for breaking your promise!"

Because she was new to the company, young, and had a very youthful appearance, her colleagues treated her like a little sister. They spoke to her in a patronizing tone as if they were older sisters.

She felt a little awkward, so she came back to herself from that icy, bewitching spell. When she awkwardly smiled at her colleagues, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at him. But he had already turned away, his expression cold and distant. His tall, muscular figure was just enough to make one's heart race.

"What are you looking at!" her colleague asked. She raised her eyes and immediately grabbed her arm, lowering her voice and saying,

"Those are all the company bigwigs, nothing interesting about them. Be careful, those CEOs might notice you and then you'll be constantly under pressure. Getting noticed by a big boss isn't a good thing for us little office workers trying to get by!"

And he, was surrounded by those big bosses!

Like stars surrounding the moon, one can instantly tell the different social standings, making them seem so distant!

She was immediately heartbroken, with a nameless feeling of gloom and oppression in her heart, mixed with a sharp, aching pain!

Probably because I felt the distance and gap!

Could someone like that ever be within reach for someone as insignificant as her!

To her surprise, this wasn't the end of the story, but rather its beginning. He approached her and asked her to be his bed companion. He was so rude, so blunt with a girl, it bordered on being an insult. But his attitude was arrogant, arrogantly so that she felt he would notice her, as if it were a kind of charity. And beneath his cold expression, a hint of impatience betrayed the fact that his decision to choose her seemed inconsequential, as if she hesitated for another moment, he would simply walk away. So, she agreed, under the man's powerful aura, in the face of uncertainty about where this path would lead, she rashly agreed.

Later, she found out, his name was Rong Ling--from the newspaper!

It turns out he actually had such a prominent status! When she learned about his family wealth, she was so excited that she felt like she had been hit by a golden pastry. It turned out that the real-life version of a wealthy family was truly playing out before her eyes. From then on, she naturally would be interested in checking his news and learning more and more about him and that massive family!d far when she was stopped by Gu Jianxi's friends. They bombarded her with questions about where she had gone, saying that Gu Jianxi was going crazy looking for her. Soon after, Gu Jianxi arrived hims...
