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

But Xuan'er's soft, sweet voice brought a pang of sadness to Lin Yuqing's heart. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Lin Yuqing pressed her lips together and said, "I'm sorry, Xuan'er, it's Mommy's fault."

With a tender touch, Xuan'er wiped away Lin Yuqing's tears. Her eyes showed a hint of panic as she said, "Mommy, don't say that. It was all my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you."

Silently shaking her head, Lin Yuqing choked back tears and said, "It's because Mommy failed to protect you that you've become like this. Please tell Mommy, what can I do to make you the Xuan'er you used to be?"

Seeing Lin Yuqing's anxious eyes, Xuan'er's heart clenched tightly, wondering if she had just said something wrong.

Biting her lip, Xuan'er comforted herself, "Mommy, don't blame yourself. I think I'm fine now. Everyone has to grow up. I can't live under Mommy and Daddy's wings forever."

“You’re right, you will grow up, but not now! Mommy and Daddy’s responsibility is to protect you as you grow up, but it hurts Mommy to see you like this!”

Looking at Lin Yuqing's current state, Xuan'er frowned deeply. Some words had welled up in his heart, but he swallowed them back.

"Mommy, your sadness only makes me worry about you. So, please don't cry, okay?"

Are you still worried about Mommy?

"Of course!"

Holding Xuan'er's little hand tightly, Lin Yuqing said, "Then come with Mommy. If I leave you here alone, Mommy will worry every day and not know what will happen to my health."

"Mommy..." Xuan'er looked at Lin Yuqing with difficulty and said, "Don't be so childish and threaten me with your body, okay?"

Lin Yuqing shook her head, then smiled wryly and rubbed her forehead.

Yes, I was indeed very childish, saying such spiteful things to a six-year-old child.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuqing composed herself, looked up at Xuan'er with a gentle smile, and asked, "Are you really sure you want to stay?"

"Yes."

Nodding silently, Lin Yuqing suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Let's eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Seeing that Lin Yuqing suddenly stopped insisting on persuading him, Xuan'er looked at Lin Yuqing with concern and asked cautiously, "Mommy, are you alright?"

Lin Yuqing gently shook her head, a faint smile on her face, and said softly, "I'm fine. Since you've made up your mind, Mommy won't try to persuade you anymore. Let's eat first, okay?"

Seeing Lin Yuqing's appearance, Xuan'er felt uneasy, but he could only swallow all his worries and not say a word.

Mechanically finishing her meal, Xuan'er looked obediently at Lin Yuqing and found her looking at her with loving eyes that were heartbreaking.

However, Lin Yuqing did not try to persuade Xuan'er any further. She simply told him to take good care of himself, then packed her things and prepared to leave.

When Da Zhong saw the door open, he hurried to greet her. But when he saw Lin Yuqing's red and swollen eyes, he paused for a moment and asked, "Yuqing, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Lin Yuqing shook her head gently, gave Da Zhong a reassuring look, and said, "Please take good care of Xuan'er during this time. I'll bring Xuan'er food again tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Xuan'er quickly looked up at Lin Yuqing and advised, "Mommy, I'm eating very well here, so you shouldn't bring me food."

Leaning down in front of Xuan'er, Lin Yuqing stroked his smiling face, her smile full of bitterness.

“If you decide to stay, you won’t be able to eat Mommy’s cooking for you for a long time, so I hope to take advantage of this opportunity to cook for you more often, okay?”

Lin Yuqing's voice was fragile and trembling, making Xuan'er unable to refuse.

Da Zhong looked at the mother and son and sensed something was off between them. But it wasn't the right time to ask, so he said, "We'll discuss tomorrow's matter tomorrow. Let me see you out now."

"it is good."

Lin Yuqing glanced back at Xuan'er one last time, then silently followed Da Zhong and left the Xiao family in loneliness.

Biting her lip tightly, Xuan'er turned and went back to her room.

But before he could even steady himself, a figure emerged from the corner.

"What, are you feeling distressed?"

The childlike face instantly transformed into a mature expression. Xuan'er looked at the elderly woman in the wheelchair and said firmly, "She's my mommy, of course I'll care about her. If you don't even care about your own family, what's the difference between you and an animal?"

Although Xuan'er's words were barbed, Xiao Jincheng was not angry. Instead, he agreed and said, "It's good that you don't forget your roots."

Even after being praised by Xiao Jincheng, Xuan'er showed no joy on her face and said coldly, "I have done as you said. When are you going to remove the people around Mommy?"

"When they leave England and stop trying to get their hands on you."

With her eyes slightly narrowed, Xuan'er said, "But every second those bombs stay near my mommy increases the danger! I've done as you instructed, and I won't leave with Mommy, so why can't you show your sincerity?"

Xiao Jincheng raised an eyebrow in surprise, seemingly not expecting Xuan'er to dare speak to him like that. However, Xiao Jincheng was not angry; instead, he looked at him with considerable admiration.

“If Lin Yuqing were the only one eyeing you, I wouldn’t bother with all this. But with Zhang Kaifeng and your father by her side, I can’t afford to be careless.”

Looking down at the ground, Xuan'er appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was extremely nervous because of Xiao Jincheng's words. He didn't know how much Xiao Jincheng knew about his father's double, but judging from his tone, his father's double seemed to be in great danger.

"If you want your mother to be safe, use your abilities to make those people abandon you. Otherwise, I'm capable of anything to keep you here."

"Great-grandfather, did you use the same methods on my father back then?"

Xiao Jincheng was taken aback, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning behind Xuan'er's words.

Looking up, Xuan'er calmly gazed at Xiao Jincheng, her eyes devoid of hatred, resentment, or any other emotion.

With his eyes narrowed slightly, Xiao Jincheng looked at Xuan'er with an unfriendly expression and questioned, "What do you mean by that?"

Xuan'er was not intimidated by Xiao Jincheng's chilling voice. Instead, she looked at him defiantly, her voice calm and unwavering.

"Great-grandfather's tone was aggressive. Knowing my father's temper, he definitely couldn't stand you. I think if Great-grandfather had used a different method to deal with my father back then, perhaps he would be willing to stay today. I have no choice. What can I do? I'm just a child. I can only do whatever you arrange. But one day, I will grow up, and when you're gone, do you know how I will deal with the Xiao family?"
