Chapter 453: Chapter 452: I’m Hungry

"It’s okay, I can keep doing this until you’re able to give birth." Just as Meng Jilin was about to touch her again.

"Monitor!" Xing Ling called out.

Meng Jilin froze, thrilled, "You’ve regained your memory?"

After Xing Ling regained her memory, she knew that Meng Jilin was aware of who she was.

It’s just that she wouldn’t admit she was Tang Yu.

The ’Tang Yu will not come back’ and ’I like Tang Yu’ that Meng Jilin often said were directed at Tang Yu.

Even if Xing Ling couldn’t remember, it didn’t matter.

Perhaps the mention of the stray cat from their high school days was some kind of test, or maybe it was self-indulgent.

"I regained my memory last night."

"Now that you know my feelings, are you willing to be with me?" Meng Jilin touched her face.

"Then, can you let me go out first? I don’t like it here," Xing Ling asked.

"Behave, Ye Sihan is so obnoxious, he will fight with me for you if he sees you," Meng Jilin frowned. "Can you bear it a little longer, please?"

"You... Or why don’t you take me abroad? To a place Ye Sihan can’t find us?" Xing Ling asked.

"Not for the time being."

"Why not?"

"Ye Sihan is looking for you everywhere. As soon as you show up, he will find out."

Xing Ling thought of deceiving her way out of there, but Meng Jilin was extremely cautious.

"Wait until things cool down, and then I’ll take you away. Is that okay?"

Xing Ling hesitated, then nodded, "Okay. But does your head hurt? It looks like there’s blood running down. I’m sorry about earlier..."

Meng Jilin kissed her face, "It’s okay, I’ll go take care of the wound."

He took Xing Ling back to the basement and had her sit on the bed.

Then he felt a sharp pain in his arm as a needle was jabbed into it.

"Ah!" Xing Ling winced in pain.

"Don’t worry, it will be alright in a moment."

"What is this..." Xing Ling tried to struggle, but the strength in her body gradually faded away.

After finishing the injection, Meng Jilin let her lean against the headboard, his voice gentle, "You’re not eating, so I had to drug you. I’ll make you something delicious after I treat my wound. Just wait a little longer."

"I’ve already agreed to wait for you to take me away, why do you still need to do this?"

"Mainly, I’m just too afraid of losing you," Meng Jilin kissed her forehead and left.

Listening to the sounds of doors being locked one after another.

Xing Ling’s heart was filled with unease, wondering if Meng Jilin had seen through her deceptive tactics?

Her carefully thought escape plan had once again thrown her into hell.

What should she do now?

She absolutely wouldn’t let Meng Jilin touch her.

Meng Jilin sat in front of a mirror, with another one placed behind him, treating the wound on the back of his head in this way.

The blood-soaked gauze was thrown into the trash can, and he shaved the hair around the wound, revealing a one centimeter-sized cut, not very large but somewhat deep.

There was no dizziness, which meant the injury wasn’t deep enough to cause internal issues.

Luckily, Xing Ling’s strength was limited, otherwise he definitely wouldn’t have been able to get up.

He carefully treated the wound and put a piece of gauze on the back of his head.

Afterwards, he took some anti-inflammatory medicine.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

Meng Jilin went to answer the door, and a middle-aged woman was standing outside, looking familiar. She was a resident of another villa, "Can I help you?"

"My son likes fishing, but he only caught small fry that we can’t eat. I thought since you have a cat, I’d bring them over," the woman said.

"You’ve noticed my cat?" Meng Jilin asked.

"After what happened last time, who in the villa community doesn’t know? That cat is pitiful too," the woman referred to the cat-abuse incident. "No need for thanks, here you go!"

"No need, my cat doesn’t eat fish, but thank you," he said.

"What cat doesn’t eat fish? Here, take it."

"I really don’t need it."

The two pushed back and forth until the woman’s grip loosened, and the basin fell to the ground, scattering the fish inside all over the place.

"Oh dear, look what I’ve done, I’m sorry, do you have a broom? I’ll sweep it up for you," the woman apologized.

Meng Jilin looked at the fish still flopping on the ground, feeling murderous inside, yet still presented a calm demeanor, "I have something to take care of right now and will be busy later. I can clean up the fish myself."

Seeing that he wouldn’t accept her help, the woman did not insist, "Well, then, I’m sorry about this. If there’s anything you need help with, just come find me. I live right by the garden in that building over there."

Meng Jilin smiled and nodded, watching the woman disappear before the smile gradually faded from his face.

He turned to fetch a broom and cleared all the little fish away from the doorway.

It was only after this that he returned to the room and shut the door.

The woman hidden in the shadows watched the door close, puzzled. How did he get that injury on the back of his head?

This woman was no ordinary person; she was the very one bought over by Ye Sihan.

After returning, she contacted the bodyguard and spoke of Meng Jilin’s injury, mentioning she hadn’t seen any gauze on the back of his head when Meng Jilin returned to the villa.

That meant he’d been injured inside the villa.

Why would Meng Jilin get hurt inside the villa?

Wasn’t that very strange?

With this, Ye Sihan became even more suspicious of Meng Jilin.

Yet he had visited the villa several times and had not noticed anything unusual.

Ye Sihan instructed Xiao Yu, "Find a way to install surveillance in Meng Jilin’s villa. Don’t miss any corner."

Any hint of suspicion could lead to a discovery.

No matter whether it was related to Xing Ling or not, he needed to know.

While Meng Jilin was away from the villa, Xiao Yu personally went to the villa district and installed pinhole cameras inside it.

Meng Jilin was just a doctor, unfamiliar with these devices, but he had to be careful just in case.

After finishing, Xiao Yu left.

Meng Jilin, who had been busy at the hospital all day, came home feeling all his fatigue vanish at the thought of the woman he loved waiting for him there.

The first thing he did was head to the kitchen to prepare food.

A nutritionally balanced dinner.

Just thinking about Xing Ling eating the meal he cooked filled him with happiness.

He had inquired around, and Ye Sihan was still looking for Xing Ling, only elsewhere, even abroad.

That suggested, perhaps, Ye Sihan’s suspicion of him had completely vanished.

Meng Jilin even thought about waiting a few more days before taking Xing Ling away from Jingdu to somewhere far away.

As he thought, a little tune began to hum on his lips.

After cooking, he carried the food into the study.

Instead of putting the food on the desk, he approached the bookshelf and took out a thick Cihai, revealing a black button inside.

He pressed the button, and the entire bookshelf moved aside.

It revealed a deep staircase leading down.

After entering, the bookshelf returned to its original place.

Who would have thought that what seemed like an ordinary, heavy bookshelf would be a secret mechanism?

He entered the basement and opened the door.

Xing Ling was lying in bed, asleep.

Due to being drugged for a long time and not seeing the sunlight, her complexion had a sickly pallor.

Meng Jilin set down the food and touched Xing Ling’s face, his eyes filled with love, admiring her more and more.

He leaned in to kiss her on the mouth.

Suddenly, Xing Ling opened her eyes and dodged, "What are you doing?"

"Didn’t you say you wanted to elope with me, and now even a kiss is not allowed?"

"I’m hungry," Xing Ling made an excuse.

"Did you smell something delicious? Look what I’ve cooked for you," Meng Jilin rose from her side.
