went exactly as she had planned. Although the principal of No. 4 Middle School had strictly ordered all teachers not to say a word about the bra incident until the truth was revealed, with lunchtime...After the meeting, there were both good and bad news.

This trip to France was originally supposed to be taken by Rong Ling himself, as he needed to finalize a cooperation agreement with Dakar, the CEO of French company Momo & Co., regarding the development of new products. However, due to Lin Meng's sudden incident, he had to send his subordinate in his place to negotiate. But perhaps Dakar felt that Rong Ling lacked sincerity and refused to meet with his subordinate. Instead, he chartered a private jet to travel around the world to inspect his businesses.

Such results are indeed a bit disheartening, but not too bad! As for Rong Ling, as a decision-maker of the Asia Pacific Group, he did have suspicions of putting personal interests above public ones this time. The outcome was somewhat expected. Instead of blaming his subordinates, he encouraged them and even signed several hundred million dollar orders for them, expressing affirmation and praise for their achievements. He then stated that they would put this matter aside for now.

Their family certainly wouldn't be short of money, this project not going through naturally means they can make money from other projects, it's just a matter of time. However, when Dakar returns to France, Rong Ling will definitely have to go there himself and finalize this project. He can allow himself to make mistakes, but he cannot allow himself to fail!

After sitting alone in his study for a while, he saw a familiar profile flash on the special channel. He clicked it open. An exceptionally handsome face immediately appeared, but this handsome gentleman loved to smile, and the wrinkles around his eyes were quite deep.

Upon seeing Rong Ling, he first let out a laugh. "Big Brother!"

"Do you have time"

The man with a smile nodded.

"I want to build a hospital. What do you think" Rong Ling suddenly put forward this idea.

The man with a smile's eyes lit up slightly, his smile deepening, as if his magnetic voice, like a late-night announcer, rippled softly across the network. "Given your family's status, you'd be personally greeted by the head physician at any hospital you went to; it would be like entering your own home. I thought you'd always disregard this area; how come you suddenly brought it up"

"It's nothing!" Rong Ling said calmly. "This kind of treatment for a hospital director, only a few people in our family can enjoy it. If others go to the hospital, they have to queue up obediently. I think no one in this world is completely healthy. Always going to other people's hospitals and relying on their kindness isn't right. In case of something serious, it's really inconvenient. You don't feel comfortable with someone else treating you because you don't know them well. It's better to open your own hospital!"

"Hehehe... Big brother should have thought this way long ago. In the domestic market today, medical care is the most profitable. If one really wants to make a profit, it's definitely not a loss!" The man smiled and raised an eyebrow suddenly. "So, does this count as another investment for your Rong family Or are you saying that you've already called a board meeting and received the board's approval!"

Investing all your money in a project that has never been done before is something that requires careful consideration.

Rongling shook her head. "No, this time I don't want to make it a family business. I want to invest on my own!"

The smiling man's smile faded, and a strange glint appeared in his eyes. He suddenly said, "What made Big Brother come to this decision!" He was truly curious!

Róng Lìng remained silent, only giving the person a cold glare.

I just want to know, do you have a chance of winning!

"That person seemed clueless when asked. He then restored his usual calm smile and confidently said, "Big Brother, rest assured, leave this to me, you'll be satisfied. (..tw) But the reality is that big hospitals in B City have already established themselves. It's extremely difficult to make a breakthrough and stand out, inevitably facing suppression from certain individuals with ulterior motives. What do you think about this, Big Brother"

“I don't plan to start construction in City B first. City B has a lot of wealthy people, and the money is easy to make, but there's no need to fight tooth and nail with other hospitals right from the start. Let's build elsewhere first, and chain stores are a great strategy. Once we establish a certain reputation and accumulate some capital, we can naturally enter Kyoto City B!”

The smiling man chuckled softly. “So Big Brother already had a plan, then good, I’ll take care of this.”

"Rong Ling nodded. 'Second Brother, I'll put in ten billion first. You take care of it. You always handle things calmly, so I trust you.'"

"Heh heh... Big brother, you can rest assured. I'm not that kid Yu Xu, who needs you to sit in on every business deal like a department store opening. I assure you, this will be handled perfectly. No need for you to be here in person!" The smiling man spoke with confidence. Although he was still grinning, if you looked closely, you could see the glimmering light emanating from his captivating eyes. He seemed like an extraordinary man!

Rong Ling smiled slightly, and the two discussed the details in general. By the time the call ended, it was past eleven o'clock.

When Rongling walked out of the study and into the living room, he saw the petite woman sitting on the sofa, holding a pillow, grinning with flushed cheeks, her eyes gleaming as she watched the television. She looked as if she had been injected with chicken blood, so excited. Listening to the boisterous anime voice acting from the TV, he guessed that she was completely engrossed in it.

To be so excited over an animation, you really are innocent! But in this dimly lit hall, your face, illuminated only by the television screen, is truly captivating.

He walked past, his powerful presence immediately catching her attention. She blinked, and instantly reached for the remote, pressing the pause button.

"You're done!" She leaned back slightly, tilting her head up to look at him. This kind of attention that wasn't solely given because of a beloved anime still made him satisfied. At least, he couldn't let a fictional cartoon surpass him.

"Aren't you going to sleep" he asked after nodding. Then he sat down beside her.

She burrowed into his arms like a little rabbit, then snuggled against his chest like a soft animal, giggling: "Just a little bit left in this episode!"

He glanced at the exaggerated character figures and dazzling colors on the screen, nodding his head. She immediately pressed the pause button again, causing the image to start scrolling. Sure enough, after a few minutes, an episode ended. She immediately pressed the stop button, turned her head to look at him, her dark eyes sparkling like a child's, full of excitement and admiration.

"Just now Miao Qing came by…" She raised the corner of her mouth, a smile that couldn't be concealed on her face. Seeing that he was still expressionless and unmoved, she had to continue, "She brought two things, one for swelling and one for scars..."

She looked at him again, but his face still showed no emotion.

She was a little disappointed, feeling that this man hid his emotions too well. When Miao Qing suddenly appeared at the door, she thought she was here to see Rong Ling, but unexpectedly, Miao Qing just smiled and handed her two bottles of something that looked like cosmetics before leaving. She even explained the uses of these two things.

Miao Qing naturally wouldn't have given her things for no reason, and it was impossible for Miao Qing to solve her urgent problem so efficiently. Besides, Miao Qing didn't know she had injured her face.

So, she could only think of her complaint about a certain man just now. Suddenly, everything made sense.

"Rong Ling, you're so good!" she smiled sweetly, reaching out to embrace his waist which was as sturdy and reassuring as a large tree.

Rong Ling lowered his eyes, gazing at the woman in his arms who was rubbing against him like a kitten. His cold eyes darkened slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Have you taken a shower!"

She shook her head.

"Let's take a bath together!" he said.

She suddenly widened her eyes, hurriedly letting go of her hand, her face flushed red.

"No..." She shook her head, unable to look at him, thinking how embarrassed it would be!

He didn't care, he just scooped her up in his arms.

"Rong Ling, let me down quickly!" she whispered, her body immediately heating up. Anyone could have guessed what would happen if they washed together!

Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile suddenly appearing on his lips. He leaned closer, fixing his gaze on her delicate face and exhaled a warm breath.

"If you don't want Auntie Xu to hear, just shout!"

She instantly fell silent, but still reached out and pushed him. But he completely ignored her. The interruption she had experienced in the study earlier, surely there would be another opportunity to continue it!

So, a woman was stripped naked and brutally violated in the bathroom. Xu Yi, who occupied the guest room, wasn't far from the bathroom. The woman, afraid of being caught, dared not cry out. She could only whimper, biting on a towel to stifle her frantic moans. Her soapy body was slippery like a fish, but the man had an uncanny ability to grip her tightly, pinning her against the tiles and violating her relentlessly.

A certain woman had previously felt gratitude toward this man, but after all that embarrassing mumbling and groaning, her gratitude vanished into thin air!

As expected, what you get is directly proportional to what you put in!

This is truly a very wicked, very vile man!

When she was pressed down on by him for the second time, she thought furiously!

When she resumed her normal student life, she received many kind greetings, of course including those from Jiang Po Lang.

"When I called your cell phone, you said it was off!" he said calmly, as if he had no emotion at all, yet there seemed to be something else beneath the surface.

She sheepishly explained, "I'm sorry, my phone died. I just found out this morning."

Her phone, the only purpose of which was probably to facilitate contact with Rong Ling. Aside from that, it seemed there wasn't anything else. So, when she was with Rong Ling, she often ignored her phone. Because the person was by her side, the phone naturally lost its purpose. If today wasn't a school day, she probably wouldn't have even looked for her phone. And then she found it only to discover that it was out of battery, and naturally, she didn't receive Jiang Po Lang's call.

"I was going to visit you, but..." Jiang Po waved his shoulders, and everything seemed to be said without words.

Lin Meng's face flushed red. There was embarrassment, guilt, and it seemed that the only thing she could finally say was a rather helpless "I'm sorry!"

Thus, he smiled, his youthful yet handsome face regaining the warmth of sunlight.

"Between you and me, do we need to be so formal and say sorry Besides, do you even think you need to apologize You idiot, I've never seen anyone so eager to take the blame!"

She giggled and retorted, "That's not because... I feel... I feel like I'm making things difficult for you, so..."

Because everything she has is provided by Rong Ling, she can't properly receive him!

How have you been practicing lately! Are you getting ready for a competition soon!

Her concern always came so timely, making him feel a bit of warmth in his slightly disappointed heart. He knew she still had him in her heart, otherwise, she wouldn't know about these things.

"It's getting closer, so I've been practicing very hard lately!"

"Hee hee, you definitely have to work hard!"

"Of course. I haven't asked you how you are! I heard it was a concussion, are you okay now!"

She stuck out her tongue and tapped her head with her finger. "You think, if it was bad, I could come to school!"

After finishing, she smiled to herself. The faint sunlight shone on her face, making her cheeks blossom like delicate flowers, and even her eyes sparkled with an inexplicable brilliance!

She became... so cheerful!

He felt a strange pang of emotion, but he was also happy to see her like this. Compared to her previous coldness, this warm tone actually suited her better. Thinking about it, the man who could make her smile so happily must be him. His brother said that she and Rong Ling were impossible to last. He actually hoped that the two would break up sooner rather than later. But seeing her such a pure and beautiful smile, he didn't want to think that way anymore.

If she could keep smiling like that, then he would also be willing to bless her and Rong Ling's long-lasting love!

Because, he likes her!

To like someone is also to have a feeling of wanting to give her the best, even if those best things aren't from him!

... Xiao Xiang Academy First Release...

"On June 1st, if there are no arrangements, just go home!" Compared to Jiang Po Lang or others, Lin Zi's arrival and greeting were rather abrupt.

Lin Meng frowned in confusion, and Lin Zi impatiently stated the reason. "That day was your birthday, and the whole family celebrated for you. Dad said that if possible, he wanted to bring Rong Ling along!"

After saying that, she left. In short, her only responsibility was to deliver the message. As for what decision Lin Meng would make, it had nothing to do with her.

Lin Meng froze for a moment. Birthday Birthday!

How long has it been since her last birthday!

Since she was young, birthdays were just a blurry word to her. Lin Zi could have birthdays, Lin Dong could have birthdays, they could eat cake, receive presents, or go out and party with classmates and friends, but that would never be her. She would simply live quietly in her shell, silently watching their happiness, then diluting her feelings again and again until they were perfectly calm.

Birthday....

She can't remember when her last birthday was, she only feels like it was a very, very long time ago... It's really... I can't remember!

Let it fade... let her forget... let her now even forget her own birth date!

“June 1st…” She murmured the two words, took out her phone which she had just replaced the battery that morning, and started checking the calendar. Her birthday was recorded in the lunar calendar, different from the solar calendar. So every year on her birthday, the date on the solar calendar would be slightly different. When she found June 1st, she also found the corresponding lunar date—April 28th!

Oh! It's April 28th!

She finally remembered, she was born on April 28th!

There's a touch of sadness in her heart, but also a hint of joy. The sadness comes from being ignored for so long, the joy isn't because her family suddenly remembered her birthday, her joy is because of that man. June 1st is approaching, and that man is by her side. Perhaps she can spend a happy birthday with him, one she'll remember for a lifetime!

Birthdays, that special day of birth, no girl can truly forget it, nor can any girl remain indifferent to it. Sometimes indifference is because there's nothing to be done!

But now, Lin Meng feels it's unnecessary!

She suddenly leaped with joy, almost bursting into song! But remembering she was still in the classroom, she held back. Then she flipped her phone over and over, looking at and re-looking at the date, checking it again and again, until finally satisfied, she put it away.

On Children's Day, which is also a Sunday, she could have a day off. And he might be free too. They had never gone out together to play before. She was very excited about the idea of playing with him. After all, on such a special day, if they didn't do anything and leave no trace, it would definitely be a huge regret!

Then, she remembered what Lin Zi had told her about going home for dinner!

Her smile, little by little, began to recede. She instinctively sensed that there was something behind this, something she didn't expect. Think about it, for so many years, her birthday had been ignored. How come it was suddenly mentioned this time, and it seemed like a special occasion was being planned Her father even specifically mentioned trying to bring Rong Ling...

Father... Rong Ling...

Anything unusual must be a demon!

Thinking about this, she felt a little uneasy and vaguely guessed her father's intentions!

She… was a little reluctant. It was easy to imagine that Rong Ling wouldn’t like to bring that matter up again; he had already said he would make arrangements. That man's pride absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to question his decisions!

So, let's just not have Rongling come home and make a fuss about her birthday! She made up her mind in her heart. Otherwise, it would probably be a really bad birthday, maybe even worse than not having one at all!

Then, when she got home, she casually asked Rong Ling, "Are you free on June 1st!"

"Are you saying this is Children's Day!" he questioned incredulously.

She nodded.

He blurted out two words without hesitation—"No time!"

She was a little disappointed, biting her lip and thinking for a moment, then tentatively asked: "It was Sunday that day, you really have no time!"

"Well, I'm busy!" He kept his eyes glued to the computer screen, not even sparing her a glance. That blade-like face of his looked downright ruthless at this moment. Seeing it, the disappointment in her heart grew even deeper.

OK, she always has a bit of stubborn hope, and always wants to do something special on that particular day!

Were you busy all day! Is there any time you can free up!

He finally shifted his gaze to her, his cold eyes flickering. "Do you have something to say"

She lowered her head, a little embarrassed. "It's nothing... I just thought... maybe we could go out and have some fun!"

He decisively shattered her meager hope: "Let's talk another day. I already have plans with someone else on June 1st!"

"Ah!" she sighed softly, and in an instant, she felt so disappointed... so disappointed!limped in, each carrying a large bucket of popcorn. As soon as they heard the "clacking" sound, their eyes lit up, and they huddled around Rong Ling."Daddy, what are you doing!"The sharp knife fell,...
