Li Lanqiu had said. In short, when their father came back to take them out, they were both gone."Did she leave!" the little boy looked up at the stairs.The little one has left, the big one hasn't.Ther...When Rong Sanbo called, Rong Ling was in the car.

"Where are you now!" Rong Sanbo's voice was deep and heavy, like a large stone pressing down.

Rong Ling's tone was surprisingly light, relaxed even, not a trace of the anger he'd shown in the meeting room earlier.

"I'm heading back to Shuangmu Hospital, on my way now, something happened!"

When Rong Sanbo heard his tone, the slight anxiety he felt for him immediately eased. The fact that this young man was still so calm naturally meant that this morning's incident was really just a minor matter to him!

"What did you mean by your last words, that you want to cut off all ties with the Rong family!"

"There's no point in staying any longer, is there" Rong Ling asked lightly, but his tone still carried a hint of mockery. Rong Sanbo felt it and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Your father... you..."

"Don't even mention him, he's already got nothing to do with me!"

Rong Sanbo lowered his eyes, pressing all his sighs into his throat. He had walked into this situation, and many things were already beyond saving. "You...don't hate him!"

"I said, Rong's family matters are none of my concern!"

"Humph!" Rong Sanbo snorted. "Then you wouldn't even recognize me as your uncle!"

"As you know, that's two different things!"

Rong San Bo's heart felt at ease, this kid understands!

"Rest assured, I won't let anyone take advantage of you. All these years, your contributions are there for everyone to see. They just want to push you out like this, but I won't allow it!"

"Uncle Three, I want to rest!"

"Rong San was stunned for a moment."

"I want to rest for a while, so you don't have to worry about me. I've already thought out my own path. From now on, Rongjia's affairs are truly none of my concern. I just want to cut ties with that family cleanly!"

Rong Sanbo fell silent for a moment, and with his sharp intuition honed over years of experience, he blurted out, “Did you arrange something! Was there a deeper meaning behind your last words!”

Rong Ling did not answer.

"Uncle Rong was a little anxious, he pressed down on his agitated emotions and kindly persuaded him. 'Rong Ling, you may have no ties with the Rong family anymore, but you still have the blood of the Rong family in your bones. As for me, Uncle Rong, I have completely integrated into this family from the inside out, so I can't just ignore some things. Rong Ling, don't go too far!"

Rongling laughed. "You flatter me!"

Rong Sanbo chuckled softly and chided, but his tone was laced with pride.

"Do you still need to act innocent in front of me! I brought you up, how could I not know your every move!"

So you can rest assured, I always know my limits!

Then you still did it!

"It's just a little thing! I'm not taking anything, so at least let me erase some of it!"

This is the real thing Rong Ling should have said!

Rong Sanbo wasn't angry at all, instead he felt more at ease. If Rong Ling were to say he hadn't done anything, then Rong Sanbo would be the one worried. That would mean whatever Rong Ling was going to do would be very big. Now that he stated it openly, it meant nothing too major would happen! After all, with a change in leadership, people are naturally restless, and there's no need to get worked up about it. It's just a test for the new leaders and their team!

"I believe you'll make your own way, so you don't need my help, right"

With a tranquil heart, San Bo had the leisure to make a joke.

Rong Ling smiled and replied, "No need. You don't have to do anything or worry about me. I want to rest, truly rest. For a period of time, I will be very 'helpless'!"

What are you up to again

"You don't have to worry about that. By the way, you'll have to look after Youyou for a while now. I'm taking this time to be "pathetic", you can take advantage of the situation, Third Uncle. Don't say I didn't give you an opportunity!"

Rongsanshi raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and suddenly his heart leaped with joy!

Exactly, isn't this a great opportunity for him!

"Fine, fine. Just stay there and be pathetic!" Rong Sanbo said this with such relish that his eyebrows practically danced. The expression on his face lit up as if he'd suddenly grown years younger.

"Well, think it over and make arrangements. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."

“Well said!” Rong Sanbo responded with a hearty laugh. After hanging up the phone, he began to ponder. He soon realized that thinking alone wasn't enough, so he took out his pen and paper, sketching and jotting down ideas. Lost in thought, page after page filled up until he was onto the second sheet. Rong Sanbo didn't feel like he was overthinking; he continued happily lost in his thoughts. Meanwhile, a stack of documents needing his signature lay ignored nearby, feeling abandoned and envious as the blank pages were gradually consumed by words.

When Rong Ling arrived at Shuangmu Hospital, Lin Meng was curled up on the sofa knitting a sweater, with little Haohuo sitting beside her, playing with the yarn. She was knitting for Haohuo right now. Since Xiaoyou had already received one and was wearing it, Lin Meng felt it was unfair to treat them differently, so she had to knit one for Haohuo too. When Haohuo heard that Lin Meng was going to knit him a sweater, he became very excited. Whenever he saw her knitting, he would lean forward and stare at her with his obsidian-like eyes, sparkling with curiosity.

Lin Meng was a little surprised when he saw Rong Ling walk in. After all, Rong Ling had come back earlier than usual today. These days, he had been going out early and returning late most of the time. This was the first time he had come back this early, and it wasn't even lunchtime yet.

She twisted her body, the needles in her hands never stopping as they moved gracefully up and down. But she lifted her eyes to look at Rong Lingxiao smiling.

"You're back so early!"

A familiar and intimate tone, like a housewife waiting for her husband to come home.

Rong Ling quickened her pace and walked over, intending to sit beside her. But there was no space left beside her. She leaned against the edge of the sofa, and on the other side sat Xiao Haohuo, with nowhere else for him to go.

He only thought for a second before reaching out and pulling her up. She stopped her knitting, looking at him with a hint of confusion. He then hugged her, took her place, and pulled her onto his lap.

"Eh!" she whispered in surprise, then suddenly felt embarrassed because little Haohao was standing right beside them. But the next second, she felt herself being tightly held by this man. He held her so close, as if he wanted to embed her into his very bones. It actually hurt a bit. His face was buried in her shoulder, and his slightly pointed chin pressed heavily against her shoulder, feeling both heavy and painful!

She frowned, but it wasn't because she felt unwell; rather, she was a little worried about him.

Because of his actions, some things were unusual.

She put down completely the half-knitted sweater in her hands and set it aside. Xiao Hao, seeing this, quickly and carefully folded the sweater. Lin Meng then reached out and gently placed her hand over Rong Ling Tuan's large palm resting on her stomach, covering it softly.

"Rong Ling, what's wrong!" she asked him in a soft voice, her small hand stroking his back repeatedly, silently comforting him.

"It's fine!" The man's voice was flat, with a hint of dismissiveness.

But she knew, absolutely something was wrong!

He doesn't look like he wants to talk!

She thought about it for a moment, then softened her body to make herself easier to hold. Her delicate palms continued to stroke his hand, as always, one after another.

This such silent soothing worked, the man no longer held her so roughly, he relaxed a little, then kissed her cheek and whispered softly, “Little one, I am not the head of the Rong family anymore!”

Lin Meng was stunned for a moment and muttered to herself: So fast!

Then, is the man sad!

She felt a pang of both sympathy and guilt, because in his loss of the head of the household position, she had been a major driving force!

“Rong Ling, let me go!”

Rong Ling immediately raised his head, his body stiffened, and then his eyes turned cold.

He had just uttered this news, and so quickly, this woman was about to backpedal!

He suddenly hugged her tightly from the dead, looking at her with a fierce gaze!

If she dared, he would destroy her!

She couldn't see his expression, but she patted his back again and softly continued, "Let me go, I want to hug you!"

He suddenly softened, like a monstrous creature with spines all along its body that were standing on end was suddenly tamed. All the spines retracted and then became soft and harmless.

He let her go, and she did indeed twist her body to come into his embrace. Then, feeling that it was inconvenient to hold him like this, she endured the shyness and boldly opened her legs, straddling his lap, before hugging him tightly.

She said she was holding him, but actually, it felt like he was holding her. Because, he was tall and even when sitting down, he was still taller than her. When she hugged him, her head could only reach his shoulder area.

"It's okay, don't be sad!"

She murmured softly, coaxing him like a child, with her own small hand gently patting his back. "It's gold, it shines wherever it goes. Head of the household, we won't be doing this anymore. From now on, we'll rely on our skills to make a living, and we'll live freely and happily. Be good, don't be sad!"

Treat him like a child!

Look, even "good" came out. Rong Ling's only trace of sadness was chased away by her ridiculous comfort. About what happened before, he pretended to be carefree, but facing Rong Father's indifference, the last shred of familial affection was broken, it was impossible for him to feel nothing in his heart. But those feelings couldn't be told to Rong Sanbo, nor to anyone else. However, towards this woman, this woman who seemed to have become part of his blood, he instinctively wanted to pour out his negative emotions onto her, wanting her to know, and wanting her comfort.

She kissed him, several kisses on his neck, softly muttering in her mouth. "It's okay, it's okay, Rong Ling, you are the best, in my heart, you are the best, losing you, they lost a lot, believe me, they definitely lost a lot, Rong Ling, Rong Ling, Rong Ling..."

She called his name softly.

Her voice was soft and sweet, like a little bird singing. When she uttered his name, it rolled off her tongue with a playful rhythm, sounding both beautiful and as if it were striking a chord within one's heart.

His face calmed, his brows and eyes relaxed, and a lazy smile played on his lips.

He loves the feeling of being pampered by her!

No wonder those two little boys like to be around her so much. Youyou acts cool and aloof towards others, but when she's with her, she becomes all sweet and clingy, acting cute and trying to please her. Apparently, she wants to be pampered! It turns out, this feeling is really nice!

It seems he let those two youngsters get the upper hand!

He half-closed his eyes, comfortably burying his chin back into the soft scent of her shoulder, not caring what expression he might show in little Haohao's eyes!

It had been about twenty minutes or so, when the door opened and Mom Rong led in a cool-looking Xiao YouYou. Mom Rong had taken Xiao YouYou out to play. Children, especially boys, shouldn't be kept inside all the time; it's not good for their physical and mental health. That's what Mom Rong thought, and since she didn't have anything else to do, she took her little one out to play. As for Xiao HaHao, he was still recovering from his injuries, so Mom Rong didn't take him out.

As soon as she walked in, Lin Meng caught her eye holding a man. Mom Rong's heart skipped a beat. Then she looked again and realized it was her own son. A smile flashed across Mom Rong's face. Thinking deeper, she felt a surge of interest. It seemed that the relationship between her future daughter-in-law and her son was very good, so the day she could hold her grandson was just around the corner.

To be honest, Mom Rong loves YouYou very, very much. But YouYou suddenly became four years old, and Mom Rong has never properly held her as a tiny, soft little bundle. She's never kissed that toothless, drooling little face close up. So, it's truly a regret. If possible, Mom Rong hopes Lin Meng will have another child, whether a boy or a girl, she doesn't mind. As long as she can personally hold the baby and feed her, then tease the baby while they babble, she'll be content for the rest of her life!

It's great that the future daughter-in-law and son get along well! That's wonderful news!

She didn't have that kind of daughter-in-law who, once good with her son, felt like she had been replaced by another woman. Her son also lived far away most of the time, so she didn't really have any control over him!

Lin Meng saw Mother Rong leading Little Youyou in, and her heart felt a little flustered. She softly called out, "Mother Rong, you're back!"

This is also a hint of tolerance, so that he knows what's up.

But Rong Ling had it figured out in his heart. Lin Mengmeng got off him, after all, this kind of scene being seen by the elders was really not good, but Rong Ling instead stretched out his arm and forcibly hugged her.

That's his own mother. He and she get along, that pattern has long been him in charge of his mother, so he doesn't want to avoid it, he just doesn't have to.

She gave him a quick grab and another hint. Looking at Rong Mama, her stunning little face was slightly flushed, she seemed embarrassed.

But Rong Ling didn't care, he still hugged her.

Lin Meng couldn't bring herself to speak, letting him hold her. After all, he had just gone through something like that, and she wasn't willing to go against his wishes. She could only secretly hope that he would be sensible.

But Mother Rong was still quick-witted, with a carefree and eccentric personality. When she got closer and saw the actions between Lin Meng and her son, Mother Rong immediately smiled and said,

"Son, are you staying for lunch today!"

Rong Ling hummed in response.

"Mom immediately said, “Then Mom will go buy some groceries and make you some of your favorites for lunch.”

Saying that, she turned around and walked out the door, taking nothing with her, still carrying her bag. She was in such a hurry, as if someone were chasing her from behind.

Lin Meng felt increasingly embarrassed, feeling as if she had driven the person away.

"Rong Ling, why don't you stop your mom from going out It's lunchtime now, going out would be a hassle!

We could also have the food served downstairs!"

"It's fine, there's a big supermarket nearby. She's getting older, going for a walk would be good for her health!"

But this son doesn't feel a bit sorry for his old mother! He, as her own son, couldn't possibly not know about his mother's temperament!

Then Xiaoyou came over and curiously looked at her mommy lying on her daddy. As she kept looking, her eyes went from curious to eager!

It sounds like it would be a lot of fun!

The little boy took off his shoes and scurried along the side of the sofa onto it. He was small enough that he could easily lie on the edge of the sofa. The little boy nestled himself closer to the two people.

"Mommy, Youyou is putting the filling inside the sandwich cookie!"

Lin Meng immediately burst into laughter upon hearing this. This child is such a comedian!

The little guy just wanted to squeeze between the two of them, if he really became a sandwich, it would probably be very comfortable, being held by Mommy and Daddy.

The little guy was thinking childishly.

Although he is precocious, his personality can't help but have a childish side, and he has a mischievous nature! Of course, this mischief depends on who he's with!

Lin Meng didn't even have time to say anything before the little guy was driven away by Rong Ling. With a stretch of his big hand, he pushed the little guy away.

"Youyou, don't make trouble, play nicely with Haohuo. Look at Haohuo, he's so well-behaved, sitting there quietly, not as naughty as you!"

The little guy turned his head to look at Xiaohuao, feeling unwilling.

At this time, little Haohao also stepped up bravely and spoke in a small voice. “Daddy, actually Haohao wants to be the sandwich filling too!”

After finishing, his eyes, big and round, looked at him innocently yet eagerly.

Little Youyou, upon hearing this, immediately burst into a crisp laugh. She tilted her chin up proudly and looked at her father with a smug expression, "Daddy, did you hear that Hehe..."

Smiling, he squeezed between the two and then went after Lin Meng. After all, he knew Mommy loved him best!

"Mommy, Mommy..."

The little guy whined and finally squeezed in. Of course, there was no way this could happen without Rong Ling letting him. Xiao Haohuo looked like a little kitten, timidly approaching. He couldn't be as unrestrained as Xiao Youyou after all, and with two children sitting between them, he felt quite cramped. He just sat beside them quietly, watching. That fair little face made such a puppy-like expression, no matter how you look at it, it was so endearing.

"Just a moment, you can sit down!"

Lin Meng reached out her hand and gently touched Xiao Haohuo's face. Xiao Haohuo's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily.

As expected, Xiaoyou sat for a while, and then Xiaoh hao took his turn. It was only about three minutes; any longer, and Rong Ling wouldn't have been able to hold it in.

"Alright, you two go play!"

The two little guys, satisfied, started playing on their own. Lin Meng also changed her posture and turned to sit back in Rong Ling's arms, pressing against his chest, held by him, watching the little ones play there. Rong Ling still rested his chin on her shoulder, silently watching as well.

Such a leisurely day, it's actually not as dull as it used to be!

His previous indulgence in bullying stemmed from a restless nature, always seeking something to occupy himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such remarkable business successes within just a few years, holding numerous positions and building empire after empire. He wasn't accustomed to idleness; besides sleeping, free time felt dull and unfulfilling to him. Just sitting there passively while others were active seemed like a form of daydreaming – something he would have never done before.

But now he was doing it, and this "daydreaming" lasted for over an hour. He didn't feel bored or restless; instead, there was a strange sense of fulfillment and peace in his heart. He knew that it was because she was beside him, and he knew that because playing pretend was with his son!

This is probably the magic of home!

Children are always full of curiosity about the world, and they hope that adults will pay attention to them. They yearn to be noticed and loved. So as the two little ones played, they kept asking questions to attract adult attention, and they looked at Lin Meng and Rong Ling with their big, watery eyes, filled with longing and admiration. They called out "Daddy" and "Mommy" one after another, sounding so warm and affectionate.

Luckily, their father is super awesome and their mother is no slouch either. They can basically get perfect answers to their questions. Sometimes, Rongling will intentionally make things difficult for the two boys, not directly telling them the answers, making them find out for themselves. After all, you can't expect there to always be an all-knowing answer machine by your side ready to cater to your every whim.

The little kids didn't think anything was wrong with this, they were even quite happy because they felt like they had a "mission". This was equivalent to giving them small goals, and when they completed them, they felt a sense of accomplishment. They wrote down these few questions and decided to figure out the answers themselves, slowly and patiently.

This is a good way to educate children. So Lin Meng didn't say anything on her side either.

Until Rong Mama came back from buying groceries, Rong Ling still maintained the posture of holding Lin Meng. Rong Mama then smiled ambiguously.

"I'm going to cook!"

Lin Meng couldn't let Rong Ling hold her down like this any longer, and hurriedly spoke up.

"Aunt, I'll go too!"

Fearing that Rong Ling would be domineering and refuse to let her go, she smiled up at him and coquettishly said, "I'm going to help my mother-in-law and cook you some food! Rong Ling, haven't I been good to you!"

That beautiful appearance, whoever sees it, will surely be moved!

Rong Ling let her go.

Lin Meng stood up gracefully, like a fairy dancing as she walked towards her mother. Her leg injury was basically healed!

"Auntie, let me help too!"

Lin Meng proactively reached out and took the big bags and small bags from Rong Mama's hand. Rong Mama smiled at her, didn't refuse, and warmly said to her, "That's great! Wait, Auntie will teach you a few dishes that Rong Ling loves to eat!"

"Great! That's wonderful!" Lin Meng replied happily.

This joy is completely genuine and very much approved of by Mom Rong. A woman who goes to such lengths to prepare a meal for a man must surely have deep feelings for him!

The two women entered the kitchen one after the other.

Rong Ling watched the two figures disappear into the small kitchen. After sitting and thinking for a while, he stood up and walked towards the small kitchen. He wasn't interested in just sitting there alone anyway, so he might as well go to the kitchen and see what was going on.

When Mother saw her son had come, she was taken aback for a moment.

Lin Meng swiftly killed the fish with a knife, then pulled out its innards and asked Rong Ling with a smile, "What are you doing here!"

"Look at you cooking!"

Rong Ling leaned against the door frame, smiling faintly.

Lin Meng smiled, lowered her head and continued to be busy.

Rong Ling looked at her for a while longer, his gaze lingering on her dark, glossy hair. A few strands playfully tumbled down behind Lin Meng's ear, swaying gently against her ivory-like complexion. It was like watching graceful willow branches dancing in the spring breeze, and he felt a stirring in his heart. He walked over, reaching out to lightly touch her face.

"How!" Her eyes, the color of water, held a gentle serenity as she looked at him.

He smiled and gently tucked the stray strands of hair behind her ear, explaining softly, "It fell down!"

"Pffft—" A sound, seemingly uncontrollable laughter, suddenly burst out.

But it was Mother Rong, stealthily watching from over there!

Lin Meng blushed and lowered her eyes shyly.

Rong Ling didn't mind at all. He was carefree and wouldn't feel embarrassed or need to restrain himself because of the laughter.

"I'll help too!"

Mom's eyes widened in surprise!

Mother's heart ached slightly, but with her personality, it only lasted for a moment. Less than a minute passed before she let it go, then she chuckled at Lin Meng, an ambiguous and flirtatious laugh that didn't hide its amusement.

Although Lin Meng was a little embarrassed by the teasing, she didn't think Rong Ling's willingness to help in the kitchen was particularly rare or precious. In a hushed voice, she told him to pick some celery leaves! Rong Ling really went, but he stood beside Lin Meng, plucking the leaves with her. He was tall and broad-shouldered, and the small kitchen was called "small" for a reason. Whenever Lin Meng washed vegetables, having such a large figure beside her made it difficult to move around. So she told him to move away a bit. But the man ignored her and stayed right beside her.

Lin Meng said it several times, and suddenly she understood what was going on. She immediately blushed and stopped talking, lest she give Rong Mama another reason to laugh. After all, Rong Mama's curious eyes were basically fixed on her and Rong Ling!

Over there, the two little kids couldn't hold out any longer. With the adults gone, playing just wasn't fun anymore. They were playing too loudly and making a ruckus, trying to get the adults' attention. So, the two youngsters decided unanimously to give up playing and went into the kitchen as well. Seeing that each adult had something to do, the little ones weren't going to be outdone. They started clamoring to get assigned tasks too.

The little kitchen was suddenly bustling with activity!

Lin Meng had no choice but to let the two boys go and pick leaves as well. In the end, when all the vegetables were washed clean, Lin Meng made Rong Ling become a babysitter, responsible for watching over the two children so they wouldn't run around, lest they get splashed with oil or accidentally break the porcelain bowls and cut themselves. As for her, she listened carefully to Rong Mama's instructions, occasionally helping out by preparing a dish or something similar.

Mom felt so satisfied. The whole family was watching her cook. This kind of treatment, perhaps even a master chef wouldn't have it any better!

And soon she had another viewer.

"Wow, it's not about coming early or late, but rather that I'm here at the perfect time! Mother-in-law, Mengmeng, this is a real treat for me!" Yu Xu laughed and entered the kitchen. His relationship with Rong Ling was very close, so he wouldn't be stopped when coming here, nor would he need to have the guards at the entrance report it.

He was quite dapper today, catching one's eye at first glance! A black suit and pants, with a white shirt underneath and a silver-gray tie. Looking at him like this, he immediately seemed extraordinary. He usually dressed casually, always in t-shirts and jackets, giving off the vibe of a sunny athlete with an indescribable coolness. Now, he was still smiling as brightly as ever, but looking at him, it felt like he was a high-class white collar worker, with an added air of sharpness and efficiency.

Feng Ling glanced at him for a moment longer, and when she saw the antique watch he was wearing on his wrist, her eyes flickered.

"Where did Qian go!"

Yu Xu curled his lips. "I went to give the old man face, hey, it's always the same thing back and forth!"

Róng Líng didn't ask any further. The Yu family was a large one, with many affairs to attend to. Even if Old Master Yu loved this grandson dearly and indulged him, there were certain matters where he would not allow his grandson to be absent.

"They're all just superficial skills..." Yu Xu complained, he could only complain to his brother. He shook the watch on his wrist and said, "This watch alone has brought back quite a bit of face for the old man!"

Ron Ling laughed.

Hearing this, you know that today's matter has been resolved.

Just as the food was about to be served, Rong Ling came out of the kitchen, and Yu Xu followed closely behind. The two brothers were very taciturn, both knowing that this was a private conversation.

"How did you get here!" Rong Ling asked him.

Since it's a matter of showing face, the reception must be important figures. They shouldn't leave so early.

Yu Xu giggled. "I heard about this, so I came to take a look myself, just in case anyone ignorant tries to take advantage of the situation!"

After all, Rong Ling doesn't want to reveal anything, so he is now completely unidentified. Yu Xu, the grandson of the Yu family patriarch, holds weight. With him here, others will be less likely to overstep their boundaries!

"You're overthinking things, am I the kind of person who lets people bully me!" Rong Ling scolded him, but he was actually quite touched inside. Yu Xu rushed over like this, that's what a brother is!

Yu Xu didn't say much, just smiled again. "This is just in case!"

Feng Ling just punched him and strode out. Yu Xu followed at a leisurely pace.

Over there, some of the dishes were already served. Yu Xu quickly went to get a plate, and Rong Ling did the same.

Because it was the result of collective labor, after the meal was served, this group of people ate quite happily. However, just as they had eaten half the meal, a lot of people came.ng at the documents. Rong Ling suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, then bent down and hugged her. She knew he had gone to discipline Rong Qikeng, so she immediately asked him what was wrong,...
