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

It must be said that Zhang Kaifeng is a very good counselor; with just a few words, he made Lin Yuqing feel much better.

Clenching her fists, Lin Yuqing cheered herself up, then looked up at Zhang Kaifeng and smiled, "You're right, Xuan'er still needs our continued efforts to rescue her. Time is precious and we can't waste it."

Seeing Lin Yuqing cheer up again, Zhang Kaifeng smiled gently. He truly wished he could always see that smiling face and keep her carefree. To preserve that sweet smile, Zhang Kaifeng was willing to give anything!

With her head bowed, Lin Yuqing didn't notice Zhang Kaifeng's intense gaze. She fiddled with the flowers on the table and murmured shyly, "Don't take my ramblings to heart. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I'm always confused and at a loss, and then I start saying random things. I'm really sorry."

Seeing Lin Yuqing's irresistible beauty, Zhang Kaifeng couldn't resist the urge to hold her in his arms and cherish her. But he also knew that if he dared to do so, things would never be the same again between him and Lin Yuqing. So even though his love was deep-seated, he could only conceal it, caring for her as a friend with a detached and unassuming demeanor.

Suppressing his agitation, Zhang Kaifeng raised his handsome face and said calmly, "Everyone has moments of confusion. Sometimes a simple word from someone can help you resolve your inner conflicts, so there's nothing wrong with it."

Zhang Kaifeng tried his best to downplay Lin Yuqing's inner turmoil, but Lin Yuqing was still somewhat uncomfortable. She reached up and smoothed her long hair, asking softly, "So... do you also have times when you feel lost?"

"of course."

Every time Zhang Kaifeng looked at Lin Yuqing, he felt lost. He could disregard Lin Yuqing's feelings and use his own methods to bring her to his side, to pamper her for a lifetime. But the price was that he would never get a genuine smile from Yuqing.

Now, although he doesn't dare to reveal his feelings to Yuqing, they can still chat freely without any reservations, which Zhang Kaifeng is quite content with. But he can only ever stand on the outside, watching her be with another man forever.

The two completely different lives left Zhang Kaifeng feeling confused. He didn't know whether he should listen to his heart or silently protect Yuqing from behind.

"then you……"

Suddenly looking up, Lin Yuqing was stunned to see Zhang Kaifeng's still burning passion.

With a forced smile, Zhang Kaifeng tried to hide his earlier embarrassment and said, "By the way, when you deliver food to Xuan'er every day, could you make a little extra so I can have a taste? I don't know where Si Wen found that chef; his skills are terrible, and the food is barely edible, far inferior to your simple porridge and side dishes."

"Siwen invited all star chefs. They'll definitely be moved to tears after hearing your critique." Lin Yuqing sensed the awkward atmosphere and continued Zhang Kaifeng's topic.

Not wanting Lin Yuqing to feel uncomfortable, Zhang Kaifeng forced a smile and joked, "Si Wen is young and inexperienced; it's quite possible he could be fooled by a charlatan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the grandfather clock in the room chimed. Zhang Kaifeng checked the time and said, "You must be tired after today's trip. Take a nap first. I'll let you know when I have any more news."

"it is good."

After leaving the room, Zhang Kaifeng leaned against the railing outside the door and closed his eyes wearily.

Before he could even catch his breath, his phone rang in his pocket.

"Very good, I didn't expect you to have learned your lesson this time and know to listen to me."

Hearing Xiao Mingyang's smug voice, Zhang Kaifeng raised an eyebrow and said, "You've moved pretty quickly. You've already planted a spy in Si Wen's territory?"

With a cold snort, Xiao Mingyang said, "If we don't do this, who knows if you'll just pay lip service while secretly going against us!"

Zhang Kaifeng said innocently, "Buddy, isn't it inappropriate to talk like that? We're allies, after all. There's no need to be so aggressive."

"Hmph, see which ally would even consider taking advantage of someone else's wife!"

Actually, Zhang Kaifeng didn't want to sleep separately from Lin Yuqing because he wanted to see Xiao Mingyang's dark face; he thought it would be very interesting. However, he was worried that it would provoke the guy into doing something crazy, so he had no choice but to ask Si Wen to arrange another room.

Si Wen was naturally delighted and wished the two of them to stay far away, so without much thought, he arranged accommodation for Zhang Kaifeng in a place far from Yu Qing's room.

However, Zhang Kaifeng wasn't stupid. He knew that if he stayed away from Yuqing, he wouldn't give others a chance to make a move. So he firmly rejected Siwen's arrangement, chose a room next to Yuqing's, and settled down peacefully.

Back in his room, Zhang Kaifeng closed the door, lay lazily on the sofa, and asked, "Since you know I moved out of Yuqing's room, you must also know that Yuqing was heartbroken by Xuan'er, right?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then he said, "I know what you want to say. It was indeed my mistake regarding Xiao Jincheng; he took advantage of the situation."

“But you and I aren’t the only ones who were tricked by that old fox,” Zhang Kaifeng murmured, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the ceiling. “I guess Lilith and Siwen don’t know he’s back either. Xiao Jincheng, what exactly is he plotting?”

"No matter what his scheme is, we'll stick to the original plan: get rid of Lilith and Siwen first, and then deal with that old fox!"

"Perhaps we won't even need to lift a finger; Xiao Jincheng will lend us a hand on his own."

Xiao Mingyang understood the implication in Zhang Kaifeng's words and asked, "You mean, Xiao Jincheng has already decided to kill Lilith?"

“Otherwise, why would he set up this scheme?” Zhang Kaifeng said wearily, rubbing his temples. “If he only wanted to keep Xuan’er, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths. I have a feeling that Xiao Jincheng is going to play a big game this time.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Zhang Kaifeng couldn't help but tease, "Hey, are you asleep? We're both in the UK, there's no time difference there, right?"

Before Zhang Kaifeng could say anything more, Xiao Mingyang had already hung up the phone, leaving only the dial tone.

Looking at the phone, Zhang Kaifeng shook his head and said, "This person is so rude! I really don't know how Yuqing will tolerate him!!"

……

For several days in a row, Xuan'er received meals from his mother. Although this reassured Xuan'er a lot, he became worried about Lin Yuqing's health.

He wanted to ask Da Zhong to help his mother, but Da Zhong didn't know that Xiao Jincheng had returned to the Xiao family. If he found out, it would only put Da Zhong in danger as well. So Xuan'er could only suppress all his worries and fears and hope that his mother would be safe and sound.
