nd wouldn't have to worry about Lin Dong doing anything bad.Lin Meng's nod made Jiang Po Lang overjoyed. After returning, his face and eyes were full of smiles, which he couldn't hide at all."You shou...He was busy, busy building a company, finding factories, and handling various documents. Milan is the fashion capital, with dazzling clothing on display every year, countless trends originating there. Since Xiao Yi had taken root there, he naturally wouldn't miss such a favorable opportunity. The company he opened mainly deals in clothing. This trip back to his home country was intended to introduce his company's brand to the domestic market.

However, what he ultimately wanted to run was a winery. Wine is about culture and history, Xiao Yi had the desire to do it, but it couldn't be rushed. Italy was a country of wine, with many established wineries. He wanted to reach the heights of those old-established wineries, but it was somewhat difficult. However, everything starts hard, and he was absolutely not afraid of difficulties. So, he would first develop the clothing company, and then slowly cultivate his wine path.

When he finally had some free time, he brought two bottles of red wine over to see Lin Meng.

"This is homemade, a new variety, not yet available on the market. I think it's pretty good, try some!"

Red wine is good for women, it's beauty and health care, it's also good for the body. Lin Meng smiled and took the red wine. Because this red wine was chilled directly, Lin Meng went to get two high-foot glasses and opened a bottle to taste it.

After seeing, smelling, and tasting, Lin Meng gave Xiao Yi a thumbs-up. This delighted Xiao Yi, as if he had received immense happiness.

The two of them were like old friends, slowly sipping their drinks before they began to talk.

Xiao Yi mentioned Du Caixin.

“That crazy woman dared to think about killing someone! I originally wanted to deal with her so she wouldn't go insane again in the future. But since you are Rongjia's eldest aunt, I can't do that. It would raise suspicion and damage your reputation!”

Lin Meng was immediately touched and quickly advised, "A-Yi, Du Caixin's matter is already over. She's been imprisoned now, so there's nothing else to worry about. Please don't do anything like that for me again, it's not worth it! Besides, you've worked hard to clean up your past and are now living an honest life. Try your best to stay away from those acts of killing and arson. As for Du Caixin's affair, we can handle it."

She winked mischievously at Xiao Yi.

"Let me tell you a secret, this time around with Du Caiyi's incident, we are in control!"

Xiao Yi was taken aback. For something so secret, Lin Meng had told him so easily, which naturally meant she valued him and trusted him. All his hard work wasn't in vain after all; he still held weight in this little girl's heart. But when the little girl said "we," he knew exactly who she meant – her and Rong Ling.

Oh!

He let out a small sigh of disappointment. After all, she was another man's woman. He had been too late!

That's great!

Actually, he had guessed as much. After all, with Rong Ling's abilities, he wouldn't wait until danger arose before reacting hastily. He would naturally find a way to nip the danger in the bud.

The Du family quietly looked for the assassin, probably wanting to make things right with the killer since both sides were paid. But the assassin disappeared as if he had never existed, vanished without a trace. Some speculated that the man probably ran away with the thirty million and went abroad, but he felt that perhaps the person never existed in the first place. Because if it were Rong Ling, he would do this sort of thing. He'd find a skilled expert to impersonate an assassin, carefully fabricate everything, and wait until things were over. Then, even if people wanted to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find anything because it was all a fabrication.

Rong Ling protected her very well, and this time with her aunt's matter, he also did not do badly. He didn't have any too much resentment either. Even if he married her, what he could give her wouldn't be as good as what Rong Ling gave her now.

"Forgot to congratulate you!" he raised his glass and toasted Lin Meng. "You were such a young girl, and now, in the blink of an eye, you've become a queen. Time truly is a magical thing!"

"Hehehe..." Lin Meng was amused by the analogy and raised her glass to toast Xiao Yi. "That's right, time is truly a magical hand. Back then, I never would have imagined that I would become who I am today, with a good husband, a good son, and a bunch of great friends!"

There was a hint of satisfaction in her words, and he understood that!

Although a tinge of bitterness filled his heart, he laughed it off. Because when Ku Xia sacrificed herself that scorching summer to save his life, forcing him to swear not to see Lin Meng for four years, he had a premonition that the little girl would likely be lost just like that.

"Not bad at all!" Lin Meng chuckled softly. "From the predicament back then to where you are now, it wasn't easy, A-Yi. I have to admire you! You did great!"

Xiao Yi burst into laughter.

As the two continued chatting merrily, Rong Ling returned.

"What's so exciting What are you talking about"

The moment he spoke, his presence became impossible to ignore.

Lin Meng put down her glass, stood up, and walked towards him.

"I'm back, good morning!"

"In the afternoon, I went to see some land with Lao Si. After that, there wasn't much else to do, so we just came back!"

He gave Xiao Yi a cold glance, receiving a similarly indifferent look in return. Then he looked away and walked towards Lin Meng. Halfway there, Lin Meng naturally reached out and untied his tie, then loosened one button on his shirt, and he cooperated by slightly bending over.

"Ay Wing is here, he brought us some good wine. You should try some too!"

"Hmm." he replied, taking her hand and walking towards her.

After they both sat down, she folded his tie neatly and put it aside. She then picked up his briefcase and placed it beside him as well. Finally, she pointed to the red wine in the small cooler on the tea table.

"Ay Wing's homemade, new product, not yet on the market, so good!"

He just smiled faintly. "Then I must try it!"

"Then I'll get you a cup!"

"No hurry, use yours first!"

He stretched out his arm and took up Lin Meng's cup of wine. He gently shook it, then sniffed it lightly, and finally tasted it slowly, giving a nod of approval. "Not bad!"

Lin Meng was very happy, as if praising her. "Right It's good to drink, isn't it This is something Ayuki and they researched themselves!"

Rong Ling chuckled!

This foolish woman!

He reached out and gave her head a good squeeze.

Lin Meng laughed and quickly ran away. She stood up to get a new glass.

Rong Ling just tilted her head to look at Xiao Yi.

There were a few seconds of silence between the two men.

Xiao Yi's heart ached slightly. From the moment Rong Ling walked in, Lin Meng's actions made it clear that her heart belonged only to him. As for Rong Ling, he didn't even need to say anything. From the moment he entered, he was flaunting and proclaiming his ownership. He said something about returning after looking at the land and finding nothing amiss, but it wasn't likely true. He probably received news that Xiao Yi had arrived and rushed back. This man guarded against him like a wolf. The little girl's heart belonged to him; could he possibly snatch her away!

Rong Ling thought to herself, this man keeps showing up when she's not home. Every time he comes, he acts all sweet and charming. He seems determined to win her over, a persistent nuisance who deserves punishment! She still needed to figure out how to get another woman to tie him down!

Two men each with their own thoughts, turned back and put on the same old fake politeness. Neither of them gave the other a cold shoulder. Rong Ling, using wine as an entrance, inquired about his affairs. Xiao Yi also asked about his in an appropriate manner.

As soon as Lin Meng came back with the new wine glass, Rong Ling poured her a little, instructing her, "Your tolerance is low, don't drink anymore after finishing this!"

He certainly wouldn't want another man to see his wife's alluring demeanor after she's had a drink.

Lynn dreamt of a blush on her face, but it was because she remembered several times when this man had coaxed her to drink red wine and then taken advantage of her. Her alcohol tolerance was indeed low; once she drank, her whole person would become unsteady, her mind muddled, making it easy for that man to take liberties. Therefore, upon hearing this, she obediently agreed without the slightest dissent. Rong Ling let her hold a new wine glass and drink, while he continued using her original one. She didn't find anything amiss about it either.

All of this sank into Xiao Yi's heart. He slightly lowered his eyes, when he raised them again, his expression remained unchanged, and he continued the conversation. There was no way out, he was just like that, driven back by Rong Ling.

During the conversation, Rong Ling suddenly had an epiphany and remembered someone. Then, at an opportune moment, she made her feelings known.

When your batch of wine is released, send me a shipment.

Xiao Yi was slightly taken aback, but instinctively a chill appeared between his brows.

Proud people, naturally, do not need the support of others. Xiao Yi is like that, Rong Ling naturally understands this. However, he still continued to speak.

“The businesses I own require a lot of alcohol. While your liquor isn't quite famous yet, the quality is excellent and would be perfect for a group of people. We're all friends, and you saved Mengmeng's life, so there's no reason I wouldn't use your liquor instead of someone else's!”

This was the first time he had so explicitly acknowledged Xiao Yi's contribution to Lin Meng. Xiao Yi thought Rong Ling would desperately ignore this fact, but he didn't expect him to bring it up like this, and in such a situation.

Lin Meng followed with bright eyes, self-punishingly patted her own head.

“Oh my, how could I have forgotten this!” she looked at Xiao Yi apologetically. “A-Yi, I’m sorry, my brain just short-circuited for a moment. Of course! Rong Ling's industry below, just with the Tong Zhou Grand Hotel, can consume a lot of red wine. Your wine quality is so good, it will definitely be recognized by everyone. People who go in and out of hotels are not lacking those who have a deep understanding of red wine. By then, if your wine wins them over with its quality, that’s another great way to succeed!”

This is definitely not sympathy. With Lin Meng's personality, she would never do something like this. She is completely standing from the perspective of a friend, a concerned person, wholeheartedly planning for Xiao Yi and happy for him.

Xiao Yi was not a fool, so he wouldn't feel that Lin Meng's words were hurting his pride. This woman was truly looking out for him, planning for him, and he could feel it, and he was touched by it. He also understood the stakes Lin Meng mentioned: Tongzhou Grand Hotel, a national chain, a branded hotel—if it were true, it would be a huge boost. But his pride wouldn't allow him to just give up on Rong Ling's path so easily.
