was sure the child wasn't his. He was more agitated about how to explain it to Lin Meng. Lin Meng told him to think it over carefully and explain it to her only when he was clear. But dammit, what di...Seeing his face turn like that, Lin Meng hurriedly shook her head. "No, no opinion. But—"

"But what!" Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, holding her small waist with one hand and squinting at her, his eyes dark as he looked down at her.

She mumbled softly, feeling a little embarrassed. "But those things aren't mine! What if Mom asks I... I don't know what to give back!"

Rong Ling then wore a sullen expression, lowered his head, and bit her heavily, nonchalantly humming, "If your mother wants to take care of you, let her come find me!"

Saying that, he let her go and walked into the room.

Lin Meng trailed behind slowly, muttering to herself: "He can go ahead, Mom wouldn't do something like that!"

After dinner, Auntie Xu also left.

Last night was quite a commotion, and with her stomach full, Lin Meng started to feel sleepy. But just as drowsiness began to creep in, she suddenly remembered something.

So, she rushed to the study to find Rong Ling. Seeing him looking down at something, she didn't disturb him, just standing beside him peering curiously. With her prominent status, she stood there, Rong Ling wasn't a dead man, naturally he noticed. He raised his head and looked at her. His brows twitched slightly, making his majesty evident. She immediately licked her lips, without hesitation, she walked up to him, calling out in a somewhat shy manner.

"Rong Ling..."

"Hmm..." he replied softly.

She bit her lip, suddenly blushing, and lowered her face in embarrassment. But then she thought better of it, and raised her head again, looking at him.

"Rong Ling, from now on... try to come back as much as possible, okay! This house is so big, I'm afraid to sleep alone at night!"

After he finished speaking, his face was burning hot!

Rong Ling gave her a deep look, then slowly nodded.

She couldn't help but leap with joy, her brow and eyes crinkling with a smile, and her pretty little mouth already unconsciously curving upwards.

"Hee hee..."

She couldn't help but giggle.

When he met Rong Ling's seemingly understanding gaze, she instantly felt a blush creep up her cheeks.

"As agreed." She felt uneasy and repeated herself.

He lowered his head to look at the document, ignoring her as if he found her too childish.

She wasn't angry. She looked at the man's handsome face and felt a surge of emotion. She took a step forward, bent down, lowered her head, and suddenly reached out to hug his neck. When he was slightly surprised, she smiled brightly and kissed him on the lips.

His eyes flashed brightly, and just as she was about to let go, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her, pulling her into his arms. He cupped the back of her head with one hand and forcefully captured her lips that were trying to pull away, kissing her deeply and passionately.

She was kissed so thoroughly that her legs went weak for a moment, and she collapsed onto his legs.

When the race began, she was already panting heavily, her flower-like face fully bloomed. Her long, narrow black eyes were misty, like smoke and fog, unconsciously tinged with a deep seductive allure. He took a deep breath, suppressing the heat in his heart, reached out, and pinched her small nose hard, angrily scolding: "Wait and see how I'll deal with you tonight!"

Wow, you've improved so much in just a few days! You're already charming everyone.

She trembled slightly, shyly climbed out of his arms, and was about to run away. He didn't stop her, just shook his head helplessly. As she was almost out of the study, she suddenly stopped. She turned back, smiling at him.

"Rong Ling, I'm going to sleep for a while, okay Come call me in an hour"

She tilted her head, looking adorable.

Rong Ling's eyes flashed, but he neither nodded nor shook his head, looking cool and aloof.

She stuck out her tongue, slipped into the room, climbed onto the comfortable big bed, and went to sleep.

An hour later, to the minute, he came for her. She washed her face and ran to her room, gathering up all her homework. With both hands she clutched it together, slung her backpack on, and rushed into the study. The study had been designed with two people in mind. So the desk was very large. She pulled up a chair and took possession of one corner, beginning to write her homework slowly and carefully.

He just glanced at her, then he started typing furiously on the computer.

For a moment, the room was silent except for the soft scratching of her ballpoint pen on paper, or the rustle of turning pages, or the clicking of his mouse, "click-clack," or the tapping of his keyboard, "tap-tap." It was a different kind of peace and quiet.

After dinner, Lin Mengyi rinsed her mouth and went back to her study. High school homework was no joke. Especially after she had wasted an entire night and morning.

Before she even entered the study, she was called back by Rong Ling.

"Come here!"

He beckoned, like he was calling a puppy.

She acted like a puppy, coming up to him and wagging her tail.

"Go for a walk!"

He said so. She frowned, but followed along nonetheless. After all, opportunities to go out with him were rare, and she was still quite looking forward to it, even if it meant having to write her homework late into the night.

But he didn't drive at all, he just took her for a slow walk around the neighborhood. Lin Meng was puzzled and tilted her head to look at him. Her little thoughts were all over her face. Rong Ling glanced at her and immediately understood.

"After dinner, go for a walk to aid digestion. Don't just sit there right away; if you accumulate food too often, it can lead to illness!"

She suddenly understood and didn't say anything more. She trailed behind him by half a step, walking slowly. This neighborhood was the first time she had visited, so she didn't find it boring. Besides, Rong Ling was by her side! Lin Meng suddenly felt that for someone like Rong Ling, talking about such health-preserving topics felt very strange. Then somehow, her thoughts went astray. No wonder this man was so physically fit, he must pay close attention to maintenance in his daily life!

Her pupils couldn't help but roll, scanning him up and down.

Being so sharp, how could he not feel her gaze. So he stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at her, instantly catching her wandering and darting eyes. His brows rose slightly, a sinister smile curving his lips: "Are you trying to seduce me!"

"What!" she exclaimed in surprise, her face flushing red. Then, realizing she had spoken too loudly, she immediately covered her mouth with her hand. When their eyes met, his expression amused and teasing, she stomped her foot in anger.

"I didn't!" she exclaimed, though her cheeks flushed from head to toe with embarrassment. Luckily, there was no one else around.

"Really not!" He leaned down, getting close to her face, pretending to kiss her, which made her immediately take a step back and turn her head away, afraid he would get out of control.

He was loudly boasting there: "You just looked at me, making me think you wanted to strip me!"

"No! There's nothing!" she blurted out, her voice strained with agitation. Her dark eyes welled up, brimming with a mixture of shame and anger as she glared at him.

He chuckled suddenly, reaching out to playfully mess up her cheeks. Then he turned and strode on ahead.

She stood there for a long time before she realized, maybe...probably...it seemed like she had been teased by him!

"Róng Líng!" she exclaimed in a low voice, anger causing her to stomp her foot. She ran towards him, reaching his side and angrily tugging at his sleeve. "You're so bad!"

The malicious man just raised an eyebrow and made no denial.

She was so angry she wanted to bite him, and she also wanted to learn from him, to pinch his face hard. But he was so tall, the difference of 1 meter 8 and 1 meter 6 was too great, leaving her feeling helpless sometimes.

"Humph!" she huffed, turning her head away in pretended annoyance, but still followed him step by step.

On the road, as expected, they attracted some amazed glances. Some were heading home, some were going out, and some, like them, were out for a stroll. The pair of Rong Ling and Lin Meng, the man was handsome, the woman beautiful; the man was cold and aloof, while the woman was delicate and charming. They were a rare and outstandingly well-matched couple. However, the girl looked so young that one couldn't help but wonder if they were siblings!

Lin Meng didn't have much of a temper, and after a while, her anger subsided. Later, seeing everyone staring at her, she felt a little embarrassed and secretly hid beside Rong Ling. Later, a young couple came over to strike up a conversation. The man was interested in looking at Lin Meng, and the woman was interested in looking at Rong Ling. This made both parties feel a little uncomfortable inside.

The young man made the first move, striking up a conversation and not letting Rong Ling's indifference bother him. He just looked at Lin Meng with interest, smiling and trying to get closer.

"Where do you live in this building! I've lived here for a long time, I don't think we've ever met before!"

Lin Meng smiled, wanting to leave, but she actually didn't want to pay attention to such a strange person.

The man, however, took her smile as encouragement and continued enthusiastically, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is..."

"There's no need!" Rong Ling interrupted coldly, reaching out to grab Lin Meng's hand and pulling her close. "We have something to do, please make way!"

That cold and arrogant aura, one could tell at a glance that it was the kind that only comes from being in a position of power for a long time. This left the man speechless, his face changing colors repeatedly, flushing slightly, appearing embarrassed and a little out of place.

Rong Lingcai didn't care what this small-time person was thinking. He simply pulled Lin Meng away, and soon left the two siblings behind. The pair looked at each other in confusion, speechless for a long time, unable to figure out when such a distinguished-looking figure had appeared in their neighborhood!

Rong Ling's hand, using little force, pinched her a little tight. She didn't say anything, just silently endured it. After a while, he seemed to have reacted, his grip loosened slightly. Turning around, he looked at her seriously and commanded: "From now on, don't wander out alone. Especially once night falls, you absolutely mustn't come out."

He probably underestimated the impact her beauty would have on others.

She nodded, not finding his command domineering at all. Instead, she found it a little sweet. Underneath his strong stance, she felt a sense of being held close within his heart and fiercely protected.

"If I'm not here later, after you finish eating, don't go for a walk. Just take a stroll inside the house. It will still help with digestion."

She chuckled softly and replied one by one.

The two of them strolled aimlessly, and she didn't remind him to let go of her hand. They wandered until they reached a 7-11 store in the neighborhood. Although it was small, it lived up to the saying "small but complete," as Lin Meng eyed it, she was about to grab a pajama set. Her limited supply of pajamas had almost been ruined by this man's hands. But he stopped her.

She looked at him pitifully, her face flushed, and whispered to him, "I don't have any pajamas!"

He shook his head, took the pajamas from her hand and put them back, whispering, "I already bought some!"

As he spoke, he pulled her away. She was filled with suspicion in her heart. When did he buy it She didn't know! She strongly suspected that he was fooling her, but she also felt that he wasn't that kind of person. However, the way he teased her when they were walking to digest just now seemed a bit malicious. All in all, she still had some doubts!

Finally, he only bought a big bag of snacks. He held it with one hand, leaving her hands free. She giggled, thinking that he was quite thoughtful like this. When they got home, after roughly sorting the snacks, she hurried back to the bedroom to see the pajamas Rong Ling had supposedly bought. It was practically new clothes, wasn't it!

New clothes have an irresistible allure for girls by nature.

As expected, she found a large paper bag inside the closet. Glancing inside, it looked like pajamas. She took it out, sat on the bed, and excitedly began taking things out of it. When she tore open the packaging bag, she was taken aback. And when she lifted the pajamas up, her fair little face flushed red again uncontrollably.

"What...what is this!"

She gaped, her eyes wide with astonishment.

The crimson pajamas, they're called pajamas, but there's barely any fabric at all! It's so small... and... so sheer. And the design is... too bold! Two thin straps, hanging with two flimsy pieces of fabric front and back, it's just... too much! And it's so short, can it even cover your butt!

Lin Meng swallowed nervously, her face flushed as she stuffed the pajamas back into the bag and put them back in the closet. Then, feeling embarrassed, she went to find Rong Ling. She felt that she could still accept the more mainstream style of pajamas from 7-11.

"Rong Ling!" she called softly, her head bowed. "I don't like that pajamas!"

By the way, I looked at him with a worried frown.

He raised an eyebrow, his mouse-drawn gesture faltering. "How is it unsuitable!" He had ordered it from Miao Qing, tailored to her measurements—it was impossible for there to be any discrepancies in size!

Lin Meng's face flushed immediately. "It's not that... I just feel... a little uncomfortable!"

He bowed his head, immediately and without hesitation refuting any request she might have. "You get used to it!"

She glared at him, full of annoyance.

Seeing he was busy, she also knew she shouldn't bother him too much. After some thought, she took a step back and requested: "Then... can I just buy my pajamas myself from now on!"

He just needs to nod his head and she'll run over to 7-11 tomorrow to buy the pajamas inside.

But he shook his head, refusing her very coldly. "Oh no!"

Her taste, he knew it better than anyone. That kind of cartoon-patterned, childishly naive decor, he didn't want to have to endure a pang of guilt every time he thought about eating her!

She puffed up her cheeks in anger.

She glared at his black skull, watching as he remained completely unaffected by her resentful gaze. A little disheartened, she returned to her seat and could only begin to quietly continue with her work.

Lin Meng had a habit, when doing homework, she always did the easy ones first, finishing those simplest ones quickly, and then concentrated her energy to tackle the difficult ones.

Finally, physics was placed before her. Lin Meng could handle all other subjects with ease, but it seemed like she was born to clash with physics. When she learned about electricity in middle school, she already had a headache. Now that she's learning high school mechanics, her head hurts even more. Especially since she skipped class a while back, although she caught up on the progress as quickly as possible, she struggled when it came to solving problems.

When Rongling finished what he had in hand, it was about nine o'clock in the evening. He reached out and rubbed his brows, closed his eyes, and relaxed for a while. When he looked up, he saw her brows furrowed tightly, her little face wrinkled like a bun, looking very resentful. He couldn't help but smile, feeling that even one person writing homework could write such an obviously negative beauty, it was really amazing.

When he stood up, she was deep in thought, struggling with the problem. As he approached her, she remained oblivious. He took a look and saw it was physics again. His heart understood. Last time, she seemed to have quite a difficult time with physics; she almost gnawed on that pencil lead when solving problems. Now it seems like his guess was right.

He stood there for a while, watching her furrow her brow as she drew and calculated, flipping back and forth on the scrap paper for quite some time before finally arriving at a result. Then, he watched her start to check the answers in the back, only to find that the data didn't match up. She frowned and scratched her head, letting out a low groan of frustration. He almost couldn't help but laugh at her expression.

What a silly girl!

He couldn't stand it any longer, so he grabbed a chair and sat down beside her.

"Sit in a little," he commanded, startling her. She hadn't even realized he was standing beside her. But she obediently shifted on the stool, moving closer to him.

Rong Ling picked up a pen and began to explain the problem to her in detail. This man could be considered a genius; math, physics, and chemistry were child's play for him. In less than a minute, he drew out a mechanics analysis diagram and explained it to her carefully. After some calculations, the result was exactly the same as the reference answer given later.

Lin Meng was astonished. She looked at Rong Ling with admiration, her beautiful eyes almost sparkling with stars.

"Rong Ling, you're amazing!" she murmured dreamily, almost kneeling down to worship.

Rong Ling smiled, thinking that this foolish girl was too easy to fool. It was just one question!

Later on, he helped her with a few more problems intermittently. He felt that her foundation in the beginning wasn't very solid, so he picked up his physics book and, relying on his previous memories, gave her a brief explanation. After class, Lin Meng looked at Rong Ling's gaze and almost had the blue light shimmering like a carnivore seeing fresh meat. Her admiration for him was like an endless river.

"Were you really amazing in high school!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement. There's always a special kind of admiration for those who excel academically, especially at this age.

Rong Ling's smile faded, not knowing what he was thinking about. He reached out and touched her head gently.

“After doing all that, just go to sleep. It's getting late. I'm going to take a shower first!” He didn’t feel like saying anything else.

Lin Meng didn't realize that he had been completely overwhelmed by the excitement of discovering that there might be a genius beside him.

With a deep breath, she finished the problem. She then relaxed by twisting her neck and stretching with a big yawn.

When she went to fetch her pajamas and take a shower, Rong Ling was already ready for bed, lying on the bed reading. Curious about the genius's work, she leaned over to take a look, nearly blinded by the dense rows of English on the page. She shook her head, stuck out her tongue, and quickly ran to the bathroom.

After washing up, she put on her pajamas. Lin Meng was stunned!

This pajamas was obviously much more revealing than she had imagined! Although the quality of the pajamas was very good, it felt smooth and comfortable against her skin, but that translucent fabric... how did she feel like wearing it was no different from not wearing it at all Lin Meng stared at herself in the mirror, her face flushed red. She lingered in the bathroom for another ten minutes before reluctantly lowering her head and biting her lip, slowly making her way to the bedroom.

Her steps were light, but they did not escape Rong Ling's ears.

When she entered the room, Rong Ling pulled his gaze from the book, raised his head, and casually said, "Finished washing up"

Then, the book he was holding fell to the ground with a thud. His rather long eyes widened abruptly before slowly narrowing, and within them began to flicker a ghostly light—the very same gleam that a carnivore displays upon spotting its prey!

She stood at the doorway, her face and body flushed with embarrassment. The background was a dimly lit living room. The light from the bedroom illuminated her, making her seem to glow. She wore a crimson-colored nightgown, a very alluring color, yet it suited her skin perfectly, making her appear even whiter than snow.

The pajamas were very thin, you could even say they were sheer. The delicate straps not only revealed her rounded shoulders and sexy collarbone, but also subtly highlighted a hint of her alluring bosom. The two mounds of white flesh, in the crimson red, peeked out slightly, being exceptionally alluring. Though the rest was covered by the pajamas, the design of the pajamas that tightened at the chest made the shape of those two rounded masses very prominent and delicate. Even more so, the soft surface with two hard points could be vaguely seen.

His breath hitched, and his eyes instantly heated up.

Her figure was slender, her waist supple like willow branches. The wine-red of her pajamas perfectly brought out this beauty. The whiteness beneath the red was alluring, as tempting as a water snake. The matching wine-red underwear had straps on both sides and a touch of lace, blending purity with a full dose of temptation.

The pajama shorts were short, barely covering her little butt and revealing two white, long legs that made his heart race. He immediately thought of the feeling of those legs wrapped around his waist, his desire flaring up.

She stood there, looking rather shy. Her small hands were awkwardly placed on her stomach as if she wanted to cover something up, but they couldn't quite conceal it, instead making people feel even more eager.

Against a dark backdrop, her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her skin, as white as sheep's fat, was covered in a crimson-colored sheer fabric, revealing a hint of sensuality that made her appear bewitching!

He hadn't expected the pajamas Miao Qing bought would be so explosive and shocking. No wonder she had blushed and said she didn't like them at the time!

His body suddenly felt hot, his voice raspy, and he grew heavy with darkness.

"Come here!"

His pitch-black eyes stared at her intently, without blinking, shining so brightly that it was frightening!e rolled her eyes and changed the subject. "Well, you should get going. It's almost dawn!"She pushed him again with her hand, and then lightly kicked him with her slender long legs!"Tell me first wher...
