Chapter 847 Returning Late at Night
"Young Master Lin? Is it really you?" Outside the Meng residence, Rou'er's eyes widened, and she was so happy that she almost shed tears.
"It's only been a month, and you don't recognize me anymore?" Lin Ping said, feigning anger.
The little girl shook her head anxiously: "No, no, no! How could Rou'er not know Young Master Lin? I was just too happy and didn't realize it for a moment."
Seeing that the other person was almost in tears, Lin Ping knew that his words had been a bit harsh and that he shouldn't have joked with this little girl.
"Is Qingge here?" Lin Ping asked softly.
"Miss has just returned to her room to rest, I'll go inform her right away." Rou'er hurriedly ran towards the mansion.
"Since she's resting, let's not disturb her. I don't have anything urgent to do," Lin Ping said tenderly.
Although it was already night, Meng Qingge had a habit of staying up late and shouldn't be resting at this hour.
It's always better to go to bed early than late, and Lin Ping didn't want to disturb the other person.
"Miss has been so tired this past month. She's been busy with business during the day, and then she waits for you outside the door at night. She even has to sort out the accounts late into the night. Even the strongest body can't take it," Rou'er said with her head down, her voice filled with sorrow.
"Waiting for me here every day?" Lin Ping's eyes also dimmed, and he felt uneasy.
He already felt indebted to her and couldn't bear to see Meng Qingge harm her body for his sake.
Lin Ping cautiously entered the mansion and instructed the gatekeeper not to make a sound.
The kerosene lamp was still lit in Meng Qingge's room, but Lin Ping's heart broke at the sight of that thin figure slumped over the table.
He carefully opened the door and quietly approached Meng Qingge, scrutinizing her familiar yet unfamiliar face.
The two had been living together for several months, and this was the first time Lin Ping had observed the other person up close.
"Silly woman, you can't work so hard in the future, or you'll get wrinkles on your face. I don't have any anti-aging pills." Lin Ping sighed, wishing Meng Qingge were a flower that would never fade.
It's already winter, and although there's underfloor heating in the house, it's still a bit chilly because the house doesn't keep warm.
He put his arm around Meng Qingge's slender waist and carefully carried her to the bed.
"Don't go, please don't leave me," Meng Qingge said as if in a nightmare, her delicate hands gripping Lin Ping's large hand tightly, her expression surprisingly relaxed.
"As the saying goes, 'What you think about at night, you dream about at night.' Miss Lin mentions Young Master Lin's name in her dreams every day," Rou'er whispered beside her.
At that moment, Lin Ping's heart melted, and all the questions that had been lingering in his mind were forgotten.
At this moment, all he wanted to do was sit on the edge of the bed and quietly stay by Meng Qingge's side; only in this way could he find the feeling of home.
"Mother, I have fallen in love with Qingge. Could you please come out and see your son?" Lin Ping said softly.
He knew his mother would definitely like Meng Qingge as her daughter-in-law. The whole family sat together chatting in harmony, and they were incredibly happy.
Thinking of the concern between Meng Qingge and her mother, Lin Ping couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
He concluded that his mother was a devoted woman and must also hope that her son would be devoted to her.
She absolutely did not want Lin Ping to have any other women besides Meng Qingge.
Lin Hao's decision to make him leave Jiang Yunying is the best proof of this.
If his mother knew he had so many female confidantes, who knows how angry she would be.
Before long, Meng Qingge's nightmare ended, and her expression became even more serene.
Lin Ping slowly withdrew his arm, not because he didn't want to continue their tenderness, but because he needed to help her complete some tasks.
In order not to disturb the other person's sleep, Lin Ping moved the thick stack of account books into his own room.
He never returned after leaving that day. The furnishings inside the house have never been touched, yet they remain spotless.
“Miss personally cleans Young Master Lin’s room every day; she knows you like things clean,” Rou’er said from behind.
"This little girl is definitely doing this on purpose!"
Hearing her say that, Lin Ping felt even more bitter. She seriously suspected that this was Rou'er's scheme.
"You should get some rest too, I need to deal with the accounts," Lin Ping said, waving his hand.
Rou'er knew that dealing with accounts required peace and quiet, so she didn't dare to disturb them any longer and left after standing outside the door for a while.
"I really don't know how this stupid woman managed to get by." Looking at the thick stack of account books, Lin Ping kept sighing.
Even with all the advanced computing methods available, Lin Ping wasn't confident he could handle all the accounts in a short time.
Meng Qingge is completely fighting a war of time, probably staying up late every day, and that natural smoky haze is the best proof of it.
To save time, Lin Ping simply found a piece of charcoal to use as a pencil, as writing with a hard pen is much faster than writing with a brush.
He found a few sheets of clean white bamboo paper to use as scratch paper, and then began his massive work.
Meng Qingge slept very soundly.
When she opened her eyes, the sun was already high in the sky.
"Oh no, there are still accounts to process. How did I fall asleep?" Meng Qingge tensed up immediately and called out Rou'er's name loudly.
"What time is it now?" Meng Qingge asked anxiously.
Besides handling the accounts, there was a lot of work waiting for her.
"Si... Si Shi..." Rou'er stammered, noticing Meng Qingge's anger.
"What? Why didn't you wake me up sooner? Do you know how much I still have to do?" Meng Qingge said angrily, clearly genuinely angry.
"Young Master Lin won't let me wake Miss up," Rou'er replied, sounding aggrieved.
"Does he think he can just say no and that's it?" Meng Qingge was still furious, and it took her a moment to realize what she meant: "Who did you just say?"
"Young Master Lin!" Rou'er looked up and replied.
"He...he's back?" Meng Qingge's eyes softened considerably, and she put all the unfinished work behind her.
The reason she worked so hard was not to bring glory to the Meng family, but to help Lin Ping fulfill his wish.
Now that Lin Ping is back, the burden on her shoulders has been greatly reduced.
When she pushed open Lin Ping's door, he was stretching.
Before he could react, Meng Qingge had already thrown herself into his arms, her face full of grievance, and said, "Where have you been these past few days? Do you know how much I've missed you!"
Meng Qingge is a woman who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Now that she has confessed her feelings to Lin Ping, she will no longer hide her feelings.
"I miss you too!" Lin Ping said tenderly, his arm around Meng Qingge's waist.
"I don't care how many women you have outside, but you can never abandon me!" Meng Qingge said, her face pressed against Lin Ping's chest, pouting.
Lin Ping had expected the other person to be angry, or to make him swear never to leave him.
If that were the case, Lin Ping would be in a difficult position. After all, he had other things to do and couldn't keep Meng Qingge, who didn't know martial arts, by his side indefinitely.
He hadn't expected Meng Qingge to be so understanding; it was enough for her to hold a place in Lin Ping's heart.
