ditions attached. Even without this prerequisite, how could such a young girl possibly bind a man as proud as Rong Ling! It's just like him, he doesn't want to be bound by women either. Although he ha...Back at the Yu Jin Restaurant, Rong Ling opened the door and entered the bedroom. The floor was covered with stacks upon stacks of banknotes, causing Rong Ling to slowly narrow his eyes before raising an eyebrow in slight confusion. He had thought that this woman in his arms had taken the money to live a carefree life, hence why he had encountered her at a place like a bar. However, he hadn't expected her to treat this sum of money like this!

It seems things aren't quite as he imagined!

Seeing the money scattered like it was being flung out in a fit of anger. And the crumpled sack tossed onto the bed, silently conveying the same message!

She's… this isn't right!

Rong Ling stepped on the money bricks, but still intended to put this little woman on the bed first before talking.

She fell onto the bed, letting out a soft meow-like hum. He tugged at the black thin blanket she had pulled over herself, and she grumbled in dissatisfaction, her body shrinking back and even rolling slightly. Her black suit slid down, revealing her alabaster skin, sculpted and perfect like a work of art.

Rong Ling's eyes darkened slightly, and a faint warmth spread in her abdomen. This girl was beautiful, and she was alluring. Her charm lay in her carelessness, which allowed her to repeatedly attract men like moths drawn to a flame. If she were poison, then she would be the most beautiful, most succulent poppy!

Rong Ling frowned, considering whether to execute her on the spot or tidy up the room first. After some deliberation, seeing that she was sleeping soundly and peacefully, he couldn't bear to harm her. So, he chose the latter. He took off his suit jacket and pulled a blanket over her. The silk blanket was incredibly soft, cool despite the heat, and Lin Meng, still drunk, hummed contentedly upon contact, her little mouth slightly upturned. She looked like a lazy cat after being satisfied.

Rong Ling was amused by her state, and couldn't help reaching out to tousle her messy hair. She mumbled sleepily and rubbed against his palm, purring softly while tilting her mouth up in a smile. She seemed to have dreamt something delightful, giggling contentedly. Rong Ling found her smile both adorable and infuriating! Look at this little woman, enjoying herself so much. She had gone out gallivanting, causing trouble, and ended up needing him to carry her back. And now look at the mess she made on the floor, he'd be the one cleaning it up in the end. While she was fast asleep, oblivious to it all!

"What a pain in the neck!"

Róng Lǐng snorted with disdain, lowered her head, and took a bite on her adorable little mouth.

"Uh..."

She mumbled something, ducked away, and stretched out a small, white, and delicate hand to wave in front of her face, as if chasing away flies. Rong Ling had already withdrawn his lips at that time. She reached out and wiped her mouth, as if dispelling the faint itch, then retracted her hand to her chest, pouted her lips, and rubbed her little head against the soft pillow again, finding a comfortable angle before falling asleep again. After a while, her little mouth turned up again. It seemed that she was having sweet dreams and wouldn't be disturbed!

Rong Ling shook his head, no longer teasing her. Helplessly, he acted as a laborer for a while, picking up the scattered coins on the floor and putting them into the bag.

She begged him to support her. He knew his own nature, he wouldn't stay with anyone for long. Perhaps the novelty of it all would keep him interested for a while, but over time, everything might fade away. He did feel for her, wanting to give her a smooth and prosperous future so she wouldn't be heartbroken later on because of him, so he didn't agree to her request. He just sent someone under his command with money. Considering her situation, being a student, having a card would cause her many inconveniences, it would be better to give her cash so she could use it as needed.

This money, to him, naturally isn't even a drop in the bucket. But for her, it's enough for her to live comfortably for twenty years or so, of course, if she doesn't squander it! Looking at her personality, she seems like a good girl and shouldn't be that reckless!

By the time she graduates from college, she should also have the ability to support herself. He's not a charity case, but for his woman, he'll never be stingy. Under mutual affection, he is also willing to be more generous. However, the reason he only gave Lin Meng this amount of money and didn't even give her a credit card with a large balance was because he didn't want her to become a woman who relies on being supported by others. That kind of woman can be fun for a while, but it won't make life too passionate, nor will she be taken seriously or respected much. He still hopes that this special little woman will have the ability to make a living in the future and be able to support herself through her own hard work.

She is a little bit special, and her future life should be rich and colorful through her own efforts!

Well, it seems she didn't do that after all!

Scattering this money everywhere, are you angry!

He picked up all the money on the floor and put it into a bag. Rong Ling sat down beside the bed, quietly watching the clean face of the little woman lying on the bed!

She is furious, because he bribed her off with money!

She's furious because he isn't planning to support her!

But raising a person is different from raising a cat or dog. You can just abandon a cat or dog if you don't like it, basically without any responsibility. But abandoning a person inevitably has some ties left behind. Besides, people also have their own opinions. If they get entangled, it's really annoying. He naturally has the ability to make that woman shut up and obey him, but if things reach the point where he needs to use force or even threats, then it would be too disappointing. He doesn't want himself and this little woman to end up in such a relationship one day! Besides, cats and dogs don't talk, they just need to live according to the master's wishes. Eating, sleeping, and playing with them occasionally can be considered a good owner! But raising a person is not so simple!

Moreover, he wouldn't even keep a cat or a dog! After all, if you're going to have a pet, you have to be responsible. But he just didn't want any unnecessary responsibilities!

But—

He reached out and gently stroked the delicate cheek with his finger. The tender touch lingered on him, making him feel a certain enjoyment!

But this little woman really makes me uneasy! She seems so sweet and well-behaved, yet why would she go to a place like that bar! Was it her first time there, or has she been many times before! Does she not know that her beauty will attract all sorts of predatory men, or is she doing it on purpose!

He shook his head, his brow furrowing involuntarily. It was indeed troublesome!

He was going to take a shower and relax. Coming out of the bathroom, he took off the towel hanging around his waist and got into bed naked. He pulled back the thin quilt, pulling the equally naked woman into his arms. He leaned down and kissed her heavily, because his anger hadn't subsided!

She mumbled and wriggled, trying to break free, but he ignored her.

His hot palms, along with his searing lips, set her aflame for a moment before plunging back into her with force. She began to moan softly. Perhaps sensing his safety, perhaps because of the soft bed beneath her, this time she didn't struggle too much. Instead, she cooperated willingly, moving with him.

After he had taken her roughly once, Rong Ling only then held her and went to sleep.

As dawn approached, Lin Meng's hangover pounded in her head, making her groan. She reached up to rub her aching temples, but a pair of hands beat her to it, gently massaging her solar plexus instead.

She was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly realized... she... the thing she was clinging to seemed... somehow off! That burning sensation, and that taut muscle --

She gasped, her face paling, and tried to retreat, but Rong Ling grabbed her wrist.

"What are you running for!" He chuckled helplessly, thinking to himself that this little woman was truly naive. She only realized she should be afraid after being thoroughly taken advantage of. "Don't you think it's too late to run now!"

Lin Meng, hearing his voice, went soft in the legs and stopped running.

Rong Ling rolled over, pinning her underneath him. He propped himself up with his hands, careful not to press down on her. His arms rested on either side of her face, his tall frame looming over hers, creating a heavy sense of pressure. His handsome face, captivating and alluring, was inches from hers, too close, too suggestive!

Lin Meng's dark eyes darted around, a hint of panic in them. His hangover-stricken brain buzzed like a swarm of bees, operating at half capacity. He felt that this posture was wrong, yet he couldn't find the words to object.

Rong Ling stared fixedly at the face below, which looked much plumper after a good night's sleep. He leaned down and kissed her lips lightly, as if it were a gentle and affectionate good morning kiss!

"If this is what you want, then fine, I'll support you!" That was his decision last night in the bathroom!

"Huh!" Lin Meng blinked in surprise, then blinked again!

But I have to warn you, following me isn't as glamorous as you think. Also, I don't like women making too much noise or interfering in my life, so you better be good and not make things difficult for me, understand

"Huh" Lin Meng started to daze!

Rong Ling reached out and gave her a hard scratch on the nose. He was furious at her dazed expression, as if she were still lost in a fog. She had asked for it, so why did he agree She acted so clueless!

"I've said everything I needed to say. If you're truly serious, then let's settle on this."

He spoke nonchalantly, as if raising her was as simple as making a lunch date. Lin Meng didn't fully react until three minutes later.

She sat up in disbelief. Rong Ling was on top of her, their bodies pressed together before she fell back onto the bed. Meeting his playful gaze, her face flushed instantly red!

"Not that excited, are you!" he teased with a smirk that was almost too much to bear. Lin Mengxiang tore that smile right off his face!

She inwardly groaned with shame, Lin Meng reached out and covered her blushing face.

He looked at her, and sighed softly in his heart. Was he raising a woman or a daughter By all appearances, it seemed more like the latter!

Lin Meng's heart was filled with joy. However, one day, the plot took a sharp turn and there was a major breakthrough. He suddenly spoke up, saying he wanted to support her. She knew that this man could do what he said. Since he said so, things would certainly be settled. She no longer had to fear her family or guess his intentions. This way, she could live the quiet life she desired.

He said he didn't want a woman who was too much trouble. Fortunately, she had always kept to herself, getting used to being alone in her room reading quietly. She definitely wouldn't disturb him. She also didn't want to know why he suddenly changed his mind, but she knew she had succeeded!

Her hand covered her face, but she couldn't help but grin silently. It was so unexpected. She had thought that she would only be able to navigate between men for the rest of her life, but now her wish was finally granted! She couldn't help but have tears welling up in her eyes!

Overjoyed to tears!

Could this be how it feels!

This girl is not one to hold grudges. With a little warmth, she can let go of past resentments. Yesterday, she was still filled with anger and disappointment towards him, wishing she'd never see him again. But when he said he would take care of her, she felt grateful. After all, Rong Ling had no obligation to raise her! She wasn't a spoiled and unreasonable woman who couldn't tell right from wrong. Deep down, she understood things clearly.

This man is indeed a good person!

What are you thinking about!

He whispered into her hair, his voice a low tide, slow, encompassing, powerful!

She shook her head, feeling a flush of embarrassment being surrounded like this. Suddenly, she thought of her father, of the suffocating home he had created, and immediately pulled away her hand that had been covering her face. Her eyes, which seemed to have been steeped in water, stared at him silently.

"Rong Ling, will you let me live with you!"

Róng Líng was about to nod, thinking to herself that this was utter nonsense! Since she was raising her, of course she would have her follow him. But then Lin Mèng hurriedly changed her words, saying, “No, it doesn’t have to be together. You… you can just find me a place to live anywhere, and… and tell my father that… that you’re going to raise me, okay!”

Róng Lǐng raised an eyebrow. With his shrewdness, he immediately sensed that there seemed to be another meaning hidden within these words.

"How do you say that" he asked calmly.

Lin Meng pursed her lips and lowered her face. Facing this man who was in a higher position, what she had experienced... if she said it out loud, he might look down on her, right But, to escape home, she had to say it, even if she was looked down upon by him.

She felt a faint pang of pain in her heart, but she tried to suppress it and said softly: "Rong Ling, I won't cost you too much money, really, I swear. When I have a job and earn money later, I will pay you back. I... I don't want to go out with those men anymore, I... don't want to do that. You... go tell my father, tell him that you are supporting me, say... that I am... your woman, my father should listen to you and won't take me out for dinner again."

"What kind of man!" Rong Ling's voice suddenly turned dangerous.

Lin Meng's face paled slightly, she turned her head away, unable to meet Rong Ling's gaze. She bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, and told him in a near desperate voice. "It's... some... bad men, they want... they want..."

Lin Meng couldn't say any more, she felt too embarrassed.

"Rong Ling, however, was clever and immediately understood. He replied, “Are you wanting this from me!”

Lin Meng let out a soft "hmm."

Rong Ling was furious. She suddenly flipped off Lin Meng's body and sat up on the bed, staring at her with a dark and gloomy expression.

"How long has this been going on!" Damn it, how dare that Lin Bao!

"It's been... a while!"

"Those men touched you!" Rong Ling narrowed his eyes, looking at her with a sinister gaze.

Lin Meng panicked and hurriedly shook her head.

Rong Ling's heart relaxed, it was good, she was fine!

“You should have come to me sooner!” he couldn't help but reproach. That Lin Bao, thought himself shrewd, after all, he could think of sending his own daughter to accompany guests to gain benefits, it seemed that he was a businessman with ambition and courage. However, he didn't expect that he would be so ruthless, forcing such a young girl to do this over and over again. Thinking about it again, Rong Ling couldn't help but sneer. It seemed that his last move was too generous, letting Lin Bao taste the sweetness. Some people, in the face of huge interests, are easy to lose themselves, be tempted by desire, and disregard all morality!

I'll go and tell your father, don't worry, this won't happen again!

Lin Meng's heart leaped with joy, and a smile involuntarily spread across her face.

Seeing her like this, the corners of his eyebrows, eyes, and mouth all betrayed an undeniable smile. His black eyes sparkled with an almost overwhelming sense of joy, making him feel a pang of tenderness in his heart.

"Fool, if you ever encounter something like this again, be sure to come find me, alright! I might be a lot more capable than you think, so trust me, I can probably solve any big problems you're facing!"

"Mmm." Lin Meng replied happily. After a moment of thought, she added softly, "I looked for you, but the old man downstairs said you went back to City B!"

Rong Ling was taken aback for a moment. He had indeed returned to City B a few days ago. After all, his headquarters was there, and that's where his legitimate home was located. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and gently squeezed her cute little ear, smiling and saying, "I'll get you a cell phone. That way, if something happens, you can contact me immediately!"

Lin Meng opened her mouth, wanting to say that she already had a phone. But thinking of it being a gift from Xiao Yi, she... didn't say anything. She only mumbled softly: "Don't get too expensive, just buy one that works well. There seems to be one for around 200 yuan, which is pretty good." She still had to pay him back after all!

"Silly!" He pinched her soft earlobes again, chuckling at her foolish little thoughts. His woman, he wouldn't let her be wronged!

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."

After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but ask again, "Besides your father's affairs, is there anything else that has been troubling you lately"

Lin Meng thought about it for a moment and shook her head. Those difficult matters had already been resolved by Xiao Yi, there was no need to spread them outside.

Rong Ling lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead. He patted her pretty and cute little face, then smiled again.

"Alright, get up quickly. After we eat, let's settle the issue with the house first!"

Lin Meng's face was red, and she smacked her tongue at his swift action. He was indeed lightning-fast, but inwardly she felt sweeter than anything else. Holding the thin quilt around her naked body, she sat up, thinking about it for a moment before nervously turning her head to look at him. He was watching her with interest, his face also flushed red.

"Rong Ling, I... I wouldn't want to bother you! If you're busy, I can just find a place on my own!"

"How is that possible!" Rong Ling casually interjected. "Even if I'm busy, nothing is more important than your business!" Besides, he wouldn't feel at ease letting a little girl go alone!

Lin Meng blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she felt that the man smiling softly in front of her was different from before. But she couldn't quite tell how he was different. She just vaguely felt that he had become... a little gentler! photos she had put away according to the original scene setup. She was fortunate that she had been careful enough to take pictures of the scene before putting the photos away. This allowed her to rea...
