tender kisses to slightly bolder, more passionate ones. His burning lips lingered on hers for longer and longer, his tongue pushing forward as if trying to enter her mouth. She was flustered and pushe...All of this starts with what Rong Sanbo said.
Rong Sanbo was confined, and outsiders basically had no chance to see him. Even the few family members who went to see him were limited in time and under surveillance. Besides surveillance equipment, he also had someone with him 24 hours a day, working in shifts to watch him. Under these circumstances, Rong Ling couldn't see Rong Sanbo at all. Even if he called the Rong family, the person responsible for monitoring would pick up the phone and relay it based on the situation. And this "based on the situation" basically meant that Rong Ling's words were intercepted. As this happened more and more times, Rong Ling increasingly felt that the situation was serious, knowing that he had definitely become the number one target of surveillance. So, he stopped calling Rong Sanbo as much.
In fact, it's not just about harassment. Many people's phones have been intercepted. This has further led to widespread panic and a negative perception of the Rong family from outsiders.
This is very detrimental to the Rong family!
It's just that on Rong Jia's side, Rong Ling isn't worried and doesn't need him to worry. He only worries about his Uncle Rong San. This elder has an extremely special position in his heart. On Rong San's side, he can't get first-hand information, so it's hard for him to let go. Taking Rong Qikeng as an example, he has concerns and can't continue to attack. At the same time, he doesn't know which path he should take to better help Uncle Rong San. This made him slightly anxious. Although he is used to enduring hardship and every word and deed seems ordinary in the eyes of outsiders, as his pillow person, Lin Meng can feel his slightest abnormality. Seeing this, her heart was like a overturned condiment stand, with all kinds of flavors. Just setting aside everything, she felt sorry for Rong Ling like this.
She wanted to do something, unravel the worry he was desperately trying to hide. But she didn't know what she could do, nor if it was even appropriate!
Little Mumu's arrival broke the deadlock.
Such a child, barely four years old, who would truly be on guard against Even less did anyone expect that such a little one would carry important messages and act as a messenger! And she was the person allowed to contact Rong Sanbo during his most difficult time, and also the person he interacted with the most.
To quote Lao Shi, the elderly man, he can't go anywhere now. He can't connect with the outside world, and he can't chat happily with his family. So, being together with this little granddaughter of his, enjoying some family time, that should be possible, right
Even so, when he was with Xiao Mumumu, they were still being watched. Sensitive topics couldn't be discussed. Because the child was young and easily led astray, Rong Sanbo wouldn't say much either. People probably thought the same way, so they just ignored the little one.
On this day as well, as soon as Xiaomumu entered the house, she rushed towards Lin Meng.
"Auntie, Mumu misses you so much!"
Lin Meng raised a smile and replied, "Aunt misses you too."
As usual, this little girl would always be eager to get close to Youyou. After coming over and sweetly greeting everyone politely, she would basically flutter around Youyou. But today, this little girl was different. Although she still came to Youyou's side, she seemed restless. Basically, every few minutes, she would ask a question.
"Auntie, when are Uncle coming back!"
"Auntie, where is Uncle now!"
"Auntie, is Uncle on his way back now!"
Lin Meng asked the little girl if something was wrong. The little girl immediately shook her head like a tambourine and waved her hands while looking down, then went to play with her building blocks as if she just missed her uncle a little too much. But after a while, she raised her head again and continued asking.
Lin Meng just felt that something was probably wrong.
"Mumu, can you ask Uncle to come back, please"
Little MuMu whispered to her back.
"No need, Mumu can just wait for her uncle to come back himself."
Lin Meng thought about it and still called Rong Ling.
There's nothing too important. Just come back as soon as you can!
Seeing Xiao MuMu clutching a building block in her hand, refusing to let go for a long time, and her little ears perked up high as if she was stealthily paying attention, Lin Meng added a sentence.
Come back quickly, I need to talk to you about something important!
After hanging up the phone, she saw that little Mumu also put down the blocks in her hand and grabbed a triangular block, continuing to play as if nothing had happened. But after all, she was just a child with a childish heart, unable to hold back, so she couldn't help but raise her pretty little face and ask Lin Meng.
"Aunt, are Uncle and Aunt coming back!"
Proof, she was indeed secretly listening just now.
"Your uncle is on his way back and should be home soon!"
Xiaomumu immediately grinned and laughed with great joy. But as if afraid that she was too happy and it would be obvious, she immediately lowered her head again and continued playing with her building blocks.
As soon as she saw Rong Ling again, she immediately threw away the building blocks and scrambled to her feet. She looked like she wanted to run towards Rong Ling, but seemed to be avoiding something, holding herself back awkwardly. Her strangeness was even noticed by the two little kids, so they didn't run up to greet Rong Ling either. Instead, they stayed where they were, their little wise eyes watching Xiao Mumu with a hint of thoughtfulness.
Rong Ling noticed this abnormality, but it didn't go beyond his concern for Lin Meng.
"What's wrong Why are you in such a hurry!"
He strode toward Lin Meng, his walk stirring the wind.
Lin Meng, after Rong Ling approached, reached out and pointed at Xiao Mumumu, whispering. "I think Mumumu is a little strange today, you go take a look."
"Is that all!" he questioned.
Lin Meng immediately blushed and stuck out her tongue. Looking at his flustered appearance, she realized belatedly that she had probably scared him. She felt a pang of guilt, but still reached out and gently pushed him.
"Go!"
Little girl's affairs are important.
He let out a sigh of relief at the sight, reached out with his big hand and rubbed her head hard, then walked towards Little Mumu.
As usual, this little girl would run over to him with glee whenever she saw him. Now, she seems like a frightened little girl, standing there, clutching her trousers, staring at him shyly.
Abnormal is demonic!
This little girl just can't keep a secret! Of course, he doesn't expect a four-year-old to be as cunning as a goblin!
Rong Ling squatted down and stared intently at the little girl.
"Mumu, is there something you want to tell your uncle"
Little MuMu pursed her lips, tilted her small head, and with her innocent eyes, she looked around in a circle, as if on guard.
Rong Ling then raised a faint smile.
"At your uncle's house, don't be afraid. Your uncle's house is not like your grandfather's house, there aren't those strange uncles and aunts. Mumu can play with confidence and speak freely!"
One word, and Xiao Mumumu's heart was captured.
Little Mumu grinned, her little mouth opening and closing. Lin Meng thought she was about to say something important, but the little girl simply chirped.
"Mumu wants to play chess with her uncle!"
It seems like it's still playing!
Lin Meng smiled wryly, could it be that she had misunderstood The little girl's previous behavior was just because she was a bit frightened at her uncle's house, so she acted clingy and easily startled! After all, she was just a child!
"Playing Go, Mumu wants to play Go with her uncle. This is something her grandpa just taught her, and Mumu has been studying very seriously!"
Lin Meng was stunned.
However, Rong Ling's eyes flashed quickly.
"Alright, then Uncle will come and see just how much MuMu has learned!"
Rong Ling picked up Xiaomumumu and walked upstairs. As he walked, he asked Lin Meng.
"Little cutie, where did you put that set of Go last time Could you help me find it"
Lin Meng's heart skipped a beat. That game of Go, she had put it away in front of him, how could he not know! And this man's memory was terrifyingly good. After she first encountered it, she both admired and envied him! His asking her to find it for him was rather unusual. She thought about it for a moment, then immediately followed him, casually replying.
"I'll get it for you."
The two little ones naturally followed along.
So the whole family finally moved to a new location, all going to the small study room.
When the chessboard was set up, Rong Ling and Xiaomumu started playing. Xiaomumu, as expected, was new to it, her moves lacked strategy, with loopholes everywhere, childishly naive. Even though Rong Ling let her win all along, she still suffered a crushing defeat. However, Rong Ling still praised her a few times. After all, little girls should be pampered. Xiaomumu was delighted and didn't feel too ashamed of losing. They played like this for a few rounds, and under Rong Ling's patient wait, Xiaomumu finally started to make some moves.
"Uncle, let's try a different way to play this time!"
She nodded in agreement.
"Mumu placed a chess piece, Uncle guessed how"
Rong Ling still nodded.
Little Mumu gathered all the white and black pieces in front of her. Her short, white hands held the round chess pieces and began to place them silently on the board. At first, she moved quickly, but after a while, she placed them all in one corner.
"Uncle, did you guess what"
Little Mumumu giggled.
Rong Ling shook her head slightly.
Little Mumu didn't pursue the answer, she only murmured softly, "Then Mumu continues," and then lowered her head to continue arranging them.
Rong Ling's gaze, however, had already become slightly focused, with flashes of light occasionally passing through his eyes.
Compared to Xiaomumu's just-now extremely shallow way of playing Go, she now holds black and white chess pieces in her hand. After placing each piece down, the situation formed becomes deep and profound all at once. This obviously isn't Xiaoya's own game, but rather, one passed down from someone else. Then, who could this other person be!
The answer is obvious!
Originally, Lin Meng and the two other kids were just playing around, but they now had a serious expression on their faces as they intently watched the situation unfold.
Xiao Mumu's hand slowed down as she placed the chess pieces, occasionally muttering to herself.
"Uncle, you must take a good look."
Then, after placing a piece, the little girl would suddenly raise her head and stare intently at Rong Ling, asking very seriously.
"Uncle, did you understand!"
But every time, the little girl wouldn't pursue answers to her mistreatment. After a pause of three or four seconds, she would bury her head and continue on her own. Later on, the little girl had to tilt her head carefully to think before putting down one piece. Sometimes, she probably suddenly remembered something and would put down many at once. Other times, she would ponder for a while before putting down just one.
She's not playing chess at all. She's simply reminiscing about something!
Later on, the little girl's face was covered in sweat. Tiny beads of perspiration trickled down her flushed cheeks. It was clear that she was struggling to recall the memory. At this point, everyone fell silent, including the two young children who seemed to understand only vaguely, sitting up straight with a newfound seriousness.
Lin Meng looked at the little girl like this, feeling a bit heartbroken, and reached out to help wipe her tears. The little girl seemed unaware, her eyes fixed on the chessboard, completely absorbed in the game.
At this time, she didn't look like a naive and innocent four-year-old anymore. There was a hint of sharpness to her, making people realize that this little girl was surprisingly bright!
Finally, after putting down the last black stone, Xiaomumu let out a long sigh and clapped her little hands childishly, saying happily.
That's it!
The corners of his eyes, the edges of his brows, and the corners of his mouth were all filled with smiles, clearly showing pride!
Suddenly, she stuck out her tongue, as if she had forgotten something. She pulled her little face into a serious expression and looked intently at Rong Ling, her black eyes seeming to hold a mysterious universe within them.
"Uncle, the game of chess is finished, did you understand it all!"
Rong Ling's gaze flashed once more, and finally, he responded.
"Understood!"
Xiaomumu immediately cheered with delight, unable to contain her joy.
"That's great."
Saying that, she also cutely took a selfie with her small palm and got up from the ground in one go. She propped up her waist and let out a yawn, softly mumbling.
"I'm exhausted."
After kneeling for so long and concentrating so intently, the little girl's small frame probably couldn't take it anymore.
"Come, aunt, let me massage your shoulders."
Lin Meng smiled, pulling Xiao Mumumu into her arms and gently rubbing her little arms and legs. Xiao Mumumu hummed contentedly, just like a little kitten.
"Mumu has really improved." Rong Ling praised.
Xiaomumu leaned against Lin Meng's leg, giggling without saying a word. Only those beautiful black eyes sparkled, like they were talking. Within them, was there excitement overflowing, like she had just secretly completed a huge task
"I'll have your aunt cook you some delicious food in a bit." Rong Ling sounded like he was rewarding her.
Little MuMu immediately said "Okay" in a coquettish voice, with giggles coming from her mouth.
Rong Ling cleaned up the chessboard with one hand, hanging his head as he collected the black and white pieces. He remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.logize for this failed attempt. Although this was a team effort, as the leader, I bear undeniable responsibility for this failure!"After a pause, he looked around at the people sitting below him and w...
