After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Lin Yuqing never imagined that one day she would feel ashamed in front of her son, which made her a little sad.

But thinking about her task for the day, Lin Yuqing secretly cheered herself up, then put on a gentle smile and asked, "Xuan'er, can Mommy go in first?"

Xuan'er gave Lin Yuqing a deep look, hesitated briefly, but still moved aside to let Lin Yuqing into the room.

Last time she came, Lin Yuqing didn't take a close look around. Now that she's calmed down, she realizes that everything here is something Xuan'er likes, which shows that Xiao Jincheng really likes Xuan'er and cares about him.

In the time it took to look around, Xuan'er was already sitting at the table, seemingly waiting for Lin Yuqing's delicious meal.

Xuan'er was very happy to eat the meal prepared by his mother. However, he didn't dare to show it. He just sat at the table and silently watched his mother set out the food.

Pushing the food in front of Xuan'er, Lin Yuqing smiled and said, "Alright, we can eat now!"

Although Lin Yuqing appeared to be very happy, Xuan'er ignored her and coldly asked, "Will Mommy go back after I finish eating?"

The gentle smile froze on her face. This time, Lin Yuqing could no longer find a reason to be strong. Her face fell, and she looked very sad as she asked, "You...don't you want to see Mommy that much?"

From the sound of her voice, Xuan'er knew that Lin Yuqing must be very sad. Xuan'er felt sorry for his mother, but he had no other choice but to get her out of there; that was the best way to protect her.

Thinking of this, his expression, which had softened somewhat, hardened again.

Taking a deep breath, Xuan'er looked up and met Lin Yuqing's vulnerable gaze, saying, "Mommy came here to try and persuade me to go back with you, but I want to stay, which is destined to disappoint you. I hope you will respect my choice and stop imposing your ideas on me."

Lin Yuqing seemed not to recognize Xuan'er. It took her a while to slowly find her voice.

"Xuan'er, is this really your idea?"

"Yes."

Lowering her head and biting her lip, Lin Yuqing gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm your mother, I know what you're thinking. There's only the two of us here now, you don't need to pretend."

Xuan'er tilted her head and looked at Lin Yuqing with a strange expression, saying, "Why would Mommy have such a thought? I really want to stay, no one is forcing me."

Lin Yuqing didn't want to continue the topic, so she smiled and said, "Since you don't want to go back, then let's not discuss this anymore. I think you haven't seen Zhenzhen for a long time, and you must miss her, right? You don't know, Zhenzhen has been behaving very well lately. She's obedient and sensible, and she's even learning medicine from Doctor Wan."

Thinking of Zhenzhen, Xuan'er couldn't help but smile. Hearing Lin Yuqing's description, she was also happy for Zhenzhen.

Seeing that Xuan'er's expression softened, Lin Yuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

While Xuan'er was eating, Lin Yuqing wandered around the room, seemingly searching for something.

"Mommy, what are you doing?"

He turned around and gave Xuan'er a look, signaling her not to say anything out of line.

Xuan'er was confused by Lin Yuqing's actions, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Mommy, you can tell me what you want, and I'll try to find it for you."

After looking around and finding nothing, Lin Yuqing turned to Xuan'er and asked pointedly, "Xuan'er, do you... have an extra pair of eyes or ears here?"

Xuan'er suddenly realized, and said calmly, "Mommy, I don't have any surveillance equipment or listening devices here."

"you sure?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhong has already checked, my room is safe."

Letting out a sigh of relief, Lin Yuqing sat down next to Xuan'er, her expression relaxed, and said, "Since that's the case, why do we still need to pretend to be having a tiff? It made Mommy so nervous!"

Xuan'er seemed confused by Lin Yuqing's words. He put down his chopsticks, stared intently at Lin Yuqing, and said, "Mommy, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Reaching out to gently rub Xuan'er's little face, Lin Yuqing smiled and said, "Alright, Xuan'er, there's no one else here, so let's not pretend anymore. Mommy knows you were worried about Mommy's safety, which is why you said you wanted to stay at the Xiao family. But we're confident we can get you out of here, and Mommy is safe too, okay?"

Xuan'er blinked, looking serious, and said, "I wasn't pretending. As for staying in the Xiao family, it was my own decision. No one threatened me. Mommy, are you misunderstanding something?"

Hearing Xuan'er's words, Lin Yuqing was stunned, then forced a smile and asked, "Xuan'er, do you mean that you stayed in the Xiao family entirely of your own volition?"

Xuan'er nodded solemnly.

"How could this be!" Lin Yuqing said in disbelief, her face full of panic. "This place is full of scheming and filth. No one really cares about you. It's not suitable for a child to live here at all! Xuan'er, whatever you want to learn, Dad will teach you. We can give you everything the Xiao family can give you. Why can't you stay here?"

"Because my surname is Xiao, how can I watch my family's things fall into the hands of outsiders?" Xuan'er said seriously. "That idiot Lilith only knows how to ruin the family's reputation. I can't let the century-old family business be destroyed in her hands!"

Lin Yuqing was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time after she heard Xuan'er say such cold words.

Xuan'er, however, remained calm and looked at Lin Yuqing, saying peacefully, "Mommy, I really want to stay, not for anyone else."

Lin Yuqing murmured in disbelief, "How could this be..."

Compared to Lin Yuqing's disbelief, Xuan'er was much calmer and comforted Lin Yuqing, saying, "Actually, it's not so bad to be here. I will become very strong, and with me protecting you, no one will be able to bully our family anymore."

“But you’re still a child,” Lin Yuqing’s eyes slowly reddened, filled with helplessness and pain. “You should be like Zhenzhen, living with your parents, learning things you like, and growing up happily!”

Xuan'er's expression was unreadable. She twitched her lips slightly before saying, "This world is cruel. It doesn't distinguish between adults and children. Only the strong can survive."

Lin Yuqing clutched her head in pain, never expecting that Xuan'er would turn into this state in such a short time!

Xuan'er knew that Lin Yuqing had just undergone surgery and her body had not fully recovered, so she couldn't help but feel guilty for what she had just said.

Their little hands clasped together nervously. Xuan'er walked to Lin Yuqing's side, gently patted her back, and asked, "Mommy, are you alright?"
