ited a stranger to live at home, they wouldn't dare to openly drive him away. Now, one by one in this house, except for Ruan Cheng hui, they had all received Lin Meng's favor. Her status in this famil...He led her through the dimly lit corridors. (...tw good-looking novels) Though it was dark all the way, being led by him, she felt that there was no need to deliberately turn on the lights. Instead, as they walked, she had an illusion, as if a princess in the Middle Ages was about to be rescued from the castle by a knight. He led her out of layer upon layer of darkness, finally towards the light.

Then, what about the demons of the Dark Castle!

Well, Li Lanqiu I guess!

For this setting, she chuckled softly, her small frame unconsciously leaning towards him!

"What!" he exclaimed.

She immediately shook her head, thinking this man would definitely laugh at her!

The man didn't press further, probably seeing her movement. That's when she realized his eyesight was remarkably good. All the way here, he had been incredibly composed. He wasn't like her, fumbling as she entered her own room.

Thinking this way, she developed even more admiration for men!

When she reached the kitchen, the light finally came on. She circled the man like a happy little dog, asking him questions incessantly.

What are you eating! What are you eating!

She seemed to be in good spirits, not too hungry yet! He felt confident but didn't want to keep her waiting too long, so he reached out and gently patted her.

"

Sit down first!

"

"Don't!" she whined, her voice drawn out and teasing, a playful smirk curving her lips. "I want to see you do it!"

Then he chuckled twice, his expression hinting at a mischievous glint! He didn't stop her, instead pulling open the fridge himself to take a quick look. The fridge was sparsely stocked, since neither he nor Lin Meng had bothered to go grocery shopping properly. However, with what they had, he could still whip up something delicious!

He pondered for a moment, then pulled out some noodles, along with garlic, onion, tomatoes, and a jar of sauce. Turning back around, he first went to boil a pot of water.

"Will you make me some noodles!" she asked.

After the man hummed, she immediately beamed. The man was going to cook himself, there was no way she wouldn't be happy about that.

The pot was filled with water, salt, and olive oil. Once the water boiled, noodles were added. At the same time, the sauce could be prepared. When the garlic, onion, ground meat, tomato, and sauce perfectly blended together, the cooled noodles were scooped out from the pot and mixed gently. A fragrant bowl of Italian pasta was ready!

Simple and quick!

But, deliciousness is not so easy to achieve!

Lin Meng looked at Rong Ling with astonishment, a happy teasing tone in her voice as she extended her thumb towards him.

"Understated, aren't you!"

Looking at his skillful technique, this dish definitely isn't the first time he's made it. Perhaps this man is even a master chef! Watching him do all of this with such grace and ease, there's an artistic flair to everything he does!

He ladled the noodles out of the pot and explained casually, "I worked in a restaurant for a while when I was abroad!"

"Eh! Have you ever worked in a place like that before!"

Her beautiful eyes were filled with intense curiosity. This was something he had never told her before. She always thought of him as being so aloof and privileged. And obviously, he wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Obviously, his life experience was very rich!

"Can you tell me about it I want to know!"

She wants to know everything about him!

He held a plate in one hand and picked up a fork with the other, gently nudging her with his elbow.

"Go over there and eat first!"

She immediately sat up obediently and watched with eager anticipation the plate he was holding. To be honest, the tantalizing aroma made her stomach growl; she was truly famished. She stole a glance at him, relieved to see that he wasn't teasing her when she realized he hadn't laughed. After he placed the spaghetti down, she leaned forward and took a deep sniff.

"That smells so good!"

Onion, garlic, ground meat, tomato sauce, and the fragrance of olive oil, all mixed together, it's simply too tempting to resist!

She immediately licked her lips childishly, looking very greedy!

This appearance greatly satisfied him, causing a smile to flash in his eyes.

"Hurry up and eat!"

He remained silent, but she urged him on instead, reaching out to take the fork he held. He gently pushed her hand away.

"You can't use your hands, I'll feed you!"

Hey!

She was surprised for a second, then couldn't help but giggle and retracted her hand!

This is great!

Consciously, she shifted her seat closer to him. Then, she slightly lifted her pretty face and opened her rosy lips toward him, like a little bird waiting to be fed.

He immediately used his fork to skillfully roll up the noodles, roughly formed them into a ball, and sent it to her mouth. She opened her mouth instantly, let out a muffled "awww," and swallowed it all in one gulp. The first sensation upon entering, that feeling of happiness and deliciousness, hit her so hard that she felt a little dizzy.

"This is delicious!"

With alluringly curved eyeliner, she ate while mumbling compliments. Her cheeks puffed out as she nearly wolfed down her food.

He reached out and gently touched the back of her head, speaking in a low, soft voice, like a cello playing softly.

"Eat slowly, no one is rushing you!"

And she, had already swallowed it whole.

"It's so delicious!" she praised again.

He could see her cheeks flushed with excitement, and he could also see the glimmer in her eyes that seemed too happy to be real, like a light mist. And then there was her smile, breathtakingly beautiful, blooming instantly with the slightest hint of satisfaction.

He was moved and softened his heart instantly.

"I like eating it, I'll make it for you again next time!"

In that case, just say it! Even if, in other people's eyes, he is a person who stays away from the kitchen like a gentleman!

And his hands didn't stop, he continued to feed her with the fragrant and chewy noodles. She happily swallowed them, humming in agreement. He leaned against the table, resting his chin lightly on his hand, and with the other he gracefully fed her noodles. A smile played at the corner of his lips, his usually stern features softened inexplicably, revealing a hint of laziness. Even his eyes held a tenderness and fondness.

It was just a kind of perception that made his laziness recede slightly. Then, while she was oblivious and still happily eating on her own, he recovered his laziness, only this time, his hand no longer rested on his chin, but reached out to touch the corner of her mouth.

"Uh!"

She pouted, looking quite puzzled.

"Got some sauce on you!"

He explained it nonchalantly.

Oh, she understood. She smiled at him and continued eating. With their intimacy, there was no way she would take this seriously. Anyway, she'd just wipe her mouth later. But he, instead, took his long finger and put it in his own mouth, sucking on it as if to lick every bit of sauce clean!

This kind of intimacy was something she couldn't just ignore. "Whoosh," her face instantly flushed red. Her cheeks puffed out slightly, and she stared at him blankly. He gave her a smile, one that was sly and seductive, his gaze lingering on her. Especially those deep eyes, they held a very familiar hint of seduction, making her body heat up immediately, and in a rush of emotions, she found herself speechless!

"Cough—"

She immediately covered her mouth, quickly suppressing the cough, and then hastily swallowed the noodles in her mouth that she hadn't had time to chew properly. After swallowing, she let out a hearty cough.

"

Don't eat too quickly!

"

He gave her a mild reprimand, but his tone was still doting. He got up and poured her some water, bringing it to her face.

"Have a drink of water!"

She reached out to take it, but he held up a water glass and brought it to her lips. "Drink!"

She was once again overwhelmed with a sense of being spoiled and cherished. She felt that this man's gentleness bordered on being bewitching. Thus, her cheeks flushed red as she took small sips, until finally, she managed to swallow. He then went and warmed a towel, coming over to wipe her hands for her. He gently wiped each slender finger, making them look like new jade. In the light, they emanated a moist, translucent glow.

He bent his head and nibbled on her fingertip!

“Rong Ling——” She retracted her fingers, blushing and calling his name in a soft voice, somewhat reluctant. Such a demonized man, who could she possibly stand up to! She felt as if he was going to devour her, just like nibbling on her fingertips, slowly consuming her piece by piece. And the aura radiating from him carried this very meaning. He raised his head upon hearing her words, gazing at her fiery appearance, making her feel as if she herself was burning!

Irresistibly masculine!

Her heart skipped a beat, her lips instantly dried and itched, causing her to uncontrollably stick out her tongue and lick them. Flames began to dance in his eyes!

She felt that something was wrong, and immediately, despite the pressure and temptation, she said in a hoarse, low voice, "I still want to eat!"

After finishing the sentence, I felt that my words were too ambiguous. After all, mentioning "eating" at this time was really sensitive!

Thus, the redness on her face did not subside but instead became even more radiant like a setting sun, some fiery and passionate!

However, luckily, the man did not intentionally misinterpret her meaning maliciously, and continued to feed her. But the temperature in his eyes did not subside. And the man's hand began to caress her temples, playing with her hair, gently stroking the skin on her face and neck.

"Róng Líng—" Her eyes were brimming with tears, calling out to him in a delicate, coquettish voice. She was being teased relentlessly, like a helpless young wife. Her clear eyes betrayed her plea for mercy.

His smile deepened, his gaze lengthening as he looked at her, still unmoved. He teased her softly. His eyes held hers in a way that left no room for doubt - the woman before him was his beloved, and he was utterly infatuated with her.

On one side, Li Lanqiu, who had silently approached and was hiding in the darkness, watched this scene with anger and jealousy!

This man, he only ordered food for her; but for Lin Meng, he cooked it himself. She thought he was a neat freak, so she rejected all the dishes she offered him, but just now, he affectionately ate the sauce from the corner of Lin Meng's mouth. What does that mean! Now, he is feeding Lin Meng mouthful by mouthful, looking at her with love in his eyes. What does that mean! He asked her what she wanted to do, and he would try his best to satisfy her. Are these words all empty!

She didn't know, a little naive Lin Meng, such a tender role, would be so difficult to deal with! This man, had he already fallen for her in his heart!

She hadn't expected that, in his heart, she had become so worthless! Previously, the information she received was that he adored Bingbing very much! How could this feeling, just be put aside like that!

I really couldn't bear to see the two lovebirds acting all sweet and affectionate anymore. She clenched her fists tightly, her face contorted in displeasure, before choosing to turn around and go back to her room!

It's fine, let them be arrogant for now. She's endured this long, she can handle a few more days!

Just like coming and going, she silently retreated into the darkness, without making a sound. Her adeptness in this was even more impressive than Lin Meng, who had lived in this house for a long time. Sensing her departure, Rong Ling's eyes flickered before returning his focus to the woman before him, continuing to feed her with casual ease.

"I'm full!" She finally shook her head, covering her belly and staring at the small remaining clump of noodles with a hint of distress. The noodles were delicious, but her stomach had given up. There was simply no way she could eat any more!

He saw that she couldn't eat, so he advised her, "Don't force yourself if you can't eat!"

"But…" She licked her wet lips, unwilling to give up. "This was made especially for me by you. It'd be such a waste not to eat it!"

After finishing, his unwilling eyes spun around that last bit of noodles. He couldn't help but smile, thinking this little woman was being a bit too flattering!

"I'll do it!"

He said, it's a kind of tone that sounds like pampering no matter how you listen to it.

He picked up the noodles and lowered his head slightly, quickly finishing them without showing any disgust that they were leftovers. She watched him with a particularly happy and satisfied expression, resting her hands on her chin. The book said that if someone can eat from the same pot of soup without complaint, it means their relationship is very close; if he can eat your leftovers without hesitation, then he definitely has you in his heart and doesn't distinguish between you and him!

"From now on, if you can't finish it, I'll eat it for you!"

She said something sweet!

He paused for a moment as he ate the noodles, but when he finished the last mouthful, he set down his fork, looked up at her, and winked. She didn't understand, tilting her head slightly. He cupped her face and kissed her, noodles still in his mouth.

She didn't know whether to be embarrassed or amused. She had just finished saying those words when the man put them into practice!

Flustered under his fervent kisses, she swallowed a mouthful of noodles as she heard the man releasing her say something.

"Delicious!"

Then, he licked her lips again heavily. He wasn't sure if he was praising his own craftsmanship or pointing at her. She looked at him shyly, feeling a bit embarrassed because during the passionate kiss, her entire upper body had instinctively leaned into his arms.

"Have you eaten" he asked her in a hushed voice, as if to confirm.

Of course, she nodded again and again. She was so full!

"I'm hungry!" he suddenly exclaimed.

"Ah!" She was stunned!

This... Could it be that she's expected to cook and repay him in kind!

Her random thoughts had just begun when he picked her up. She let out a questioning sound, and her bottom suddenly landed on the table. Then, the man's big hand reached for her clothes. Her nightgown was easily pulled up!

Obviously, a man's "hunger" is not what she understands!

The first thing that flashed through her mind was the man's gaze, which had been lingering with warmth, and the caress that held a subtle teasing. In an instant, her body heated up again. But this place was the kitchen, an open space. Although it was late at night, there were outsiders in the house, and she couldn't be sure if anyone would intrude. So, she felt a little worried.

The man lifted her nightgown, casually pushing up her bra as well. As he covered her soft chest, she let out a low moan, grasping his hand and blushing furiously, like she had been drinking.

The man stared at her intensely, his eyes deep and fathomless, as if they would devour her.

She licked her lips, then meekly gave in to him, letting out a soft moan. "Don't do this here!"

Yet, he obeyed!

He kneaded her heavily again, causing her to gasp softly. After that, he lifted her down, holding her like a little girl, his arms wrapped around her tiny waist. It seemed he had taken her advice.

Her heart pounded like a drum. She could never get used to this kind of embarrassment! But the man didn't walk toward the kitchen door. Instead, he veered slightly off course and ended up pinning her against the upright refrigerator. The slight coolness of the fridge made her shiver and gasp for air!

He pulled her legs apart, making her straddle his waist. With one hand, he impatiently began to rip at her clothes. She stammered that she didn't want this here, that she wanted to go back to the room, but he suddenly grabbed her small hand and, with a forceful movement, brought it down towards his groin.

I can't wait!

He bit her lip, breathing heavily, a hot, panting sigh, humming with desire.

"I fed you, now you have to feed me!"

She was instantly flushed, both from the heat of his touch and from his words!

“Will…will be seen…”

"No!" he replied resolutely. Because, it was certain, tonight would be very quiet because everyone who was coming had already come and gone!

"No...Don't..." She was worried and pushed him again.

And the man was clearly impatient, or perhaps, he had been enduring it all along. Because in his eyes, she was obviously a feast for the eyes. The pasta aroused her appetite, but as she ate the pasta, she aroused his!

In a moment, he rushed in and forcefully took possession of her. She gasped repeatedly, struggling beneath him with difficulty, wanting to retreat but unable to escape his powerful grip. She found the position unbearable; behind her was the cold refrigerator, and before her, his burning body. The contrast between cold and heat left her in a daze, trapped in a strange purgatory. It felt as if she were no longer herself!

"Rong Ling..." she murmured his name, the man's fierce possessive movements made her afraid. Especially, she was completely suspended in his arms, her feet couldn't touch the ground at all. This feeling of being airborne made her, amidst her fear, choose to cling to him even tighter, as if without his support, she would fall down and land in the deepest part of hell, unable to climb back up again. But sometimes, she felt like she was floating, walking on clouds, as if she had become a fairy. Just that no matter what kind of feeling it was, she felt like she was floating, with her feet not touching solid ground. The pleasure surged, but it was also like being worse than death. This feeling of chaos made her whole body flushed, making her sweat profusely, and unable to help but sob, calling his name randomly.

“Rong Ling… Rong Ling…”

Her fingers grasped tightly at his back, but always seemed to grasp at nothing. It was as if a small bandage had erected an insurmountable barrier between them.

"Róng Líng…" she sobbed, unable to even comprehend what she desired.

"I'm here... I'm here..." he gasped, a broken whisper to her, over and over again.

Like a piece of driftwood floating on the sea, once she saw the green shore, her restless heart suddenly became much more stable.

“…Rong Ling…”

She called out his name in a frenzy, countless words compressed into that single syllable. What she wanted to say, what she wanted to express, all felt powerless. There was only his name, repeated endlessly, a constant refrain.

"...good boy... I'm here...I'm here..."

During the frantic dash, he kept comforting her silently, like a wave guiding driftwood back to shore, gently pushing her, allowing her to get closer and closer to him...closer and closer...

Challenging high difficulty, and the consequences were not just a one-time thing. The next day, she was moaning in pain on the bed, rubbing against him in his arms, expressing her extreme dissatisfaction.

The man was in a surprisingly good mood looking at her. Besides, it was rare for him to sleep in on a bright morning like this instead of his usual early-morning routine of exercising. He simply held her and slept with her until now. Even when the little boy came knocking to wake him up, he sent him away. Of course, the little boy's urging woke up Lin Meng, and she snuggled up in his arms, humming softly until now.

Women should all be pampered!

She's clearly acting adorable to get attention!

“I’ll give you a massage!”

She didn't even say a word, her small face kept rubbing against his chest. He found it adorable and naturally wouldn't disturb her. Later, he felt it was about time, disregarding her unwillingness and embarrassment, he flung the blanket open and reached towards her with his predatory hands.

After a gasp, she lay down on the bed, not daring to move. Under the thin blanket, her naked body was as white as cream, with little dots of purple and red blooming, which made the man's eyes squint with pleasure. These purplish-red strawberries were the result of the man's own planting, he looked at them, naturally enjoying!

Don't say, his massage was really good. She quickly started to hum softly under his touch. Then the situation gradually went off track, the man's hands became more and more unruly. She felt something was wrong, resisted for a while, shouting and jumping around trying to escape, only then did she manage to avoid being pinned down by him!

It's like a huge monster!

It's really enviable to be so physically fit!

She glared at the man being washed by warm water, his muscular body glistening. Thinking of her own frail frame, still aching from the ordeal, she felt a surge of resentment. He'd clearly put in the effort, so why was he the one who emerged alive and well

"Little one, look at me again, or I'll have to eat you!"

A man's lazy voice sounded, laced with sarcasm!

She blushed instantly and mumbled weakly, "Who's looking at you What's there to see!"

After she finished, the young daughter-in-law stood aside, wiping the foam off her body. She had said not to wash with him, but he insisted on dragging her in, always being overly domineering. Look, he's bullying her again!

He suddenly reached out and pulled her hard. She was covered in bubbles and her feet were slipping, so when he yanked her, she almost fell and let out a scream. When her whole body, slippery with bubbles, was held in his embrace, she playfully punched him.

"Rong Ling, you're terrible! You almost scared me to death!"

"Such a scaredy-cat!" He teased her, touching her all over!

Her legs immediately went weak, and her breathing became noticeably more exhale than inhale.

"You... you don't..."

He chuckled softly. “What’s up!”

She glared at him!

He knows that already, doesn't he!

He, however, was unaware of how alluring her look was, it increasingly made his heart race.

Men are always full of energy in the morning, and he had just been subdued, but now seeing her delicate appearance, he couldn't help himself again. Besides, he didn't really want to hold back, who let her dare say he wasn't good-looking!

"My dear, I feel it's time you got a proper look at me. Otherwise, when you go out, you might tell others that I'm not worth looking at!"

Saying that, he took her hand and signaled her to put her arms around his shoulders, starting to stroke him downward!

She glared at him!

"Not a chance!"

As she spoke, she twisted her waist and was about to flee. But now her whole body was slippery and covered in foam. Where could she run Soon, she was pinned down by the man. She struggled like a fish out of water, her small mouth open, gasping for air. No matter how hard she fluttered, she was ultimately slaughtered at his mercy!

After this delay, the two of them dressed neatly and went downstairs. It was already very late.

Li Lanqiu's face was a bit dark. She could guess what the two had done with her toes, especially since Lin Meng wore a flushed and watery expression, looking like she had just been deeply loved.

A sour feeling suddenly welled up in my heart, and I felt a bit sick to my stomach.

"Eat quickly, or Rongyou will be late for school! This child insists on waiting for both of you to arrive before eating. I tried to persuade him, but it was no use. Oh, it makes me feel like I'm harming him."

Li Lanqiu looked at Rong Ling with a deeply hurt expression, her eyes filled with the resentment of a scorned woman.

Perhaps, in this lifetime, I'll never truly be able to have a child's heart.

As he spoke, he reached out and gently patted his stomach.

Rong Ling frowned.

He isn't stupid, he could certainly understand the subtext in Li Lanqiu's words!

Child!

He frowned again, but didn't say anything!

Li Lanqiu looked at him like this, her lips moved slightly in a dry smile.

"Oh well, never mind. By the way, there's not much in the fridge, so I could only make these. There's preserved egg and lean pork porridge, and cucumber salad. But you used to love those pickled radish sticks and those spring pancakes from Lao Chang's shop on the old street! Too bad we don't have them."

His familiar tone made Lin Meng feel a little uncomfortable. This was another memory of Rong Ling and Li Lanqiu that she didn't know about. normal!"A hint of melancholy flickered across Ruan Chengyang's face, but his dark pupils were slightly narrowed."Don't worry, Stepmom. I promise I won't let my older brother truly hurt you!" His voic...
