"But what can you do when you get to England?"

Looking down at the ground, Lin Yuqing said stubbornly, "It will definitely be useful. Even if it's just to let Xuan'er know that his mommy lives in the same city as him, and let him know that we haven't given up on him, and that he's not facing these hardships alone."

"But Xuan'er knows all this even if you don't go to England. There's no need to gamble your life on it!" Holding Lin Yuqing's hand, Xiao Mingyang looked into her eyes seriously, not giving her a chance to escape, and asked, "Yuqing, do you believe what Si Wen said?"

"I……"

Lin Yuqing wanted to deny Xiao Mingyang, but when the words came to her lips, she hesitated.

Could it be that I was really convinced by Si Wen?

Lin Yuqing shook her head. When she looked up again, she said with a firm gaze, "Perhaps, at one moment, I was moved by Siwen's advice, but it was not for Siwen, but for Xuan'er. Xuan'er has been away for so long, and I haven't done anything for him. I am such a bad mother. Things have come to this point, and I don't want to give up any possible opportunities. Besides, you can control Siwen. If he is lying to me, you can also rescue me in time, right?"

"Even if you know Si Wen is using you, you don't regret it?"

Looking sideways at Xiao Mingyang, Lin Yuqing smiled weakly, but there was a brave light in her eyes.

"I've always believed that nothing ventured, nothing gained. Only by cooperating with Si Wen can we find out what this guy is planning. Even if he wants to gain some benefit from us, can't we use him to our advantage? This is a battle, and it depends on who can outmaneuver whom! Besides, I have you by my side, what do I have to fear?"

At this moment, Xiao Mingyang seemed to have a new understanding of Lin Yuqing. This seemingly weak woman actually had a very strong side, which made even men feel inferior.

"It seems that you have made up your mind."

Shaking Xiao Mingyang's hand, Lin Yuqing said firmly, "I hope you can understand me."

"Of course I understand you and know how much you care about your two children. So, I will protect you well and will never let Si Wen take advantage of you."

Lin Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly before asking, "You mean, you agree that Si Wen and I should go to England?"

There was a hint of helplessness and doting in Xiao Mingyang's smile. He said, "If I don't agree, I'm afraid you will find a way to sneak away. It's better for me to protect you. No matter what happens, we have to face it together!"

A layer of moisture slowly welled up in her eyes. Lin Yuqing was moved and threw herself into Xiao Mingyang's arms, murmuring, "Mingyang, thank you!"

"Silly girl, we are husband and wife, we should support and understand each other, what are you thanking me for?" Xiao Mingyang gently placed a kiss on Lin Yuqing's temple, his tone gentle, but when Lin Yuqing couldn't see, his eyes revealed a fierce look.

……

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuqing dialed a number. After a series of beeps, the call was picked up.

"Hello?"

Lin Yuqing held the phone tightly in her hand, and her voice trembled a little because of nervousness.

"Si Wen, it's me, Lin Yuqing."

Si Wen already knew that the number belonged to Lin Yuqing, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked, "Yuqing? I didn't expect it to be you. So, have you made up your mind?"

"Well, I...I've decided to go to England with you."

Putting down the paintbrush in his hand, Si Wen lay on his back on the floor, looking up at the ceiling with a satisfied look on his face. He said, "That's great. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to atone for my sins. I will definitely protect you and Xuan'er's safety!"

Compared to Si Wen's relaxed and happy mood, Lin Yuqing was much more nervous and said in a deep voice, "But I have one condition. I need someone to accompany me."

Si Wen knew that Xiao Mingyang would not let Lin Yuqing go so easily, and that he would find someone to follow her was also expected, so Si Wen asked without surprise: "Who do you need to accompany you?"

"Zhang Kaifeng."

His pupils suddenly tightened. Si Wen had never expected Lin Yuqing to mention this person's name. But why did Zhang Kaifeng make Lin Yuqing look at him differently? Did Xiao Mingyang also allow this guy to harass Yuqing?

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. Lin Yuqing couldn't help but ask cautiously, "What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

Si Wen sneered and asked instead of answering, "Don't you trust me?"

Holding onto the phone, Lin Yuqing hurriedly defended herself, "No, no, you misunderstood me. I don't distrust you. It's just that after discussing it, we felt that we couldn't let you face this danger alone, so we came up with this idea. If something really happens, we can also take care of each other, don't you think?"

Lin Yuqing's voice was cautious, even with a hint of deliberate flattery, which made Si Wen very unhappy after hearing it.

How long had Zhang Kaifeng known Lin Yuqing, yet she agreed to let him participate in such an important event? What kind of status did he hold in Lin Yuqing's heart?

Taking a deep breath, Si Wen suppressed his anger and said with bated breath, "If it was Xiao Mingyang who came forward, it would be understandable. But Zhang Kaifeng... who is he to you? Do you think it's appropriate for him to be with us?"

Lin Yuqing had long expected Si Wen to object, but this was the only condition for Xiao Mingyang to agree to let her go to the UK.

When Lin Yuqing heard this, she was also stunned. She didn't expect that two people who were so incompatible with each other would actually shake hands and make peace at the critical moment. This made Lin Yuqing happy, but also felt the seriousness of the situation.

If it was just a small matter, Xiao Mingyang would never tolerate Zhang Kaifeng's existence. But Lin Yuqing was not afraid at all, because she knew that her precious son was waiting for her. This belief supported her and made her fearless.

Holding the phone tightly, Lin Yuqing raised her chin slightly and said firmly, "He is a very good friend of mine. I trust him very much. We work well together and he is very capable. As long as you need him, he will provide the necessary help. I think this is a good thing for both you and me."

There was a storm brewing in Si Wen's eyes, and the paintbrush in his hand was violently broken.

I was the one who knew Yuqing first, so how could Zhang Kaifeng have earned her trust?! He even sounded so intimate, but he didn't deserve it! Also, what on earth was Xiao Mingyang doing? Wasn't he worried about letting someone like that stay with Lin Yuqing? That man was the most stingy person there was. How could he tolerate another man hanging around Yuqing? It was truly despicable!

Si Wen's eyes were sinister, and his tone was filled with resentment. He said, "Do you know Zhang Kaifeng well? From what I know, he's a ruthless man. Aren't you afraid that Xiao Mingyang will worry about you?"
