After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies
Chapter 1099: Suspicion Arises
Watching Lilith's retreating figure, Xuan'er looked on with suspicion, wondering what was wrong with this woman and why her expression had become so strange.
Xuan'er didn't understand any of this, but Da Zhong knew it all.
Before long, Lilith's pregnancy will be exposed, and she will definitely confess to Xiao Jincheng before then. But that will also be the day of Lilith's demise!
This pitiful woman thought she was the happiest person in the world, but little did she know that only endless darkness awaited her.
Sighing and shaking his head, Da Zhong's eyes were filled with complex emotions. As his gaze shifted, he noticed that Xuan'er was staring intently at him.
Da Zhong reached out and ruffled Xuan'er's hair, then laughed, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Silently tidying her hair, Xuan'er whispered, "Does Lilith have some kind of unspeakable secret?"
If you have it, you can use her most vulnerable secret to attack herself and deliver the most thorough blow to her!
Da Zhong felt that some things were not suitable for children to ask about, so he said ambiguously, "Of course, Lilith's hands aren't clean. Who knows how many secrets she's hiding? And she's not the only one with secrets!"
Seemingly understanding the implied meaning in Da Zhong's words, Xuan'er quickly turned her gaze away and muttered, "I don't understand what you're saying!"
"Do you really not know, or do you not want anyone to find out what's on your mind?" Da Zhong suddenly moved closer to Xuan'er, staring into his eyes, and asked, "You're acting very strange today. Are you hiding something from me?"
Her body involuntarily shifted to the side, but Xuan'er said without changing her expression, "Don't you already know what's wrong with me?"
“You used to be like that, but ever since your mother stopped coming to the Xiao family, you seem like a different person. Are you worried about your mother’s health? If so, I can go and check on her.”
"No!" Xuan'er whispered, then realized her voice was too abrupt and quickly lowered her head to cover it up, saying, "Mommy already mentioned to me last time that she might not be able to bring me meals for a while because she needs to rest and recover from her old leg injury."
Da Zhong rubbed his nose and muttered curiously, "How come I didn't know about this?"
"You don't know how many things there are to do. I can't possibly explain everything to you, or I'd be exhausted!" Xuan'er seemed to have found her voice again, her face full of arrogance as she said disdainfully, "Just do your job well, and don't worry about anything else!"
In the past, Xuan'er would have been very worried about Lin Yuqing's condition upon learning of her illness. However, today, Xuan'er acted completely out of character, ignoring the situation. This sudden change in behavior made Da Zhong suspicious.
After taking a deep look at Xuan'er, Da Zhong felt he should contact Zhang Kaifeng.
After listening to Da Zhong's description, Zhang Kaifeng pondered for a moment, then sighed deeply.
This sigh puzzled Da Zhong, who said, bewildered, "Why are you all playing so mysterious? Just say what you want to say."
“If it can be explained clearly, there’s no need to worry about it.” Zhang Kaifeng gently closed his laptop, then leaned back in his leather chair, rubbing his temples, and said, “Xuan’er is acting so strangely; I guess he’s trying to protect you.”
"Protect me?" Da Zhong found this amusing and shook his head with a light laugh. "If I needed a child to protect me, you wouldn't be asking me to cooperate."
"Don't underestimate Xuan'er. Everything he's doing now is premeditated." Because he didn't know if Xiao Jincheng had made a move against Da Zhong, Zhang Kaifeng couldn't go into details for the time being. He could only give a vague hint, hoping that Xiao Jincheng would understand on his own.
After asking around, Zhang Kaifeng didn't reveal any useful information, so Da Zhong hung up the phone in frustration and turned to go back to his room.
Standing under Xuan'er's window, Da Zhong stopped and looked up, just in time to see the young boy sitting by the window, looking at the sky with a melancholy expression.
At this moment, Xuan'er is like a caged bird, only able to look at the sky that belongs to him from afar.
Although Xuan'er was trapped in the Xiao family, he used to be full of energy, his bright eyes always brimming with hope. But now, Xuan'er was like a lump of ashes, devoid of joy or sorrow, like a walking corpse. His eyes were no longer filled with light, only despair.
What happened to make Xuan'er look like this?
Zhang Kaifeng just said that Xuan'er's deliberate aloofness was to protect herself, but who would hurt her? In the Xiao family, only that stupid woman Lilith wants to kill her, but she's no match for her, and Xuan'er doesn't need to bother with her. As for…
As if suddenly remembering something, Da Zhong's eyes widened, and he murmured, "No way..."
Standing in front of the mirror, Lilith stroked her slightly protruding belly, a loving smile on her face.
Lilith gently patted his belly and softly said to him, "Although no one knows of your existence yet, soon you will become the most precious treasure of the Xiao family! Everyone will submit to you!!"
Whether it was Lilith's imagination or not, after she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly moved, which made her overjoyed and exclaim that it was incredible.
Just as Lilith was immersed in joy, her phone rang. She looked at the name on the screen and couldn't help but smile even more brightly.
"Hello, dear Mr. Siwen, are you contacting me because you've taken care of Zhang Kaifeng and are now able to bring Lin Yuqing out?"
Seeing Lilith in such a good mood, Siwen raised an eyebrow and asked, "What happened to make you so happy?"
"Of course it's a joyous occasion! Although I can't say it now, you'll all be able to share this joy with me soon!"
Si Wen wasn't interested in Lilith's worries. He swirled the wine in his glass and said, "Zhang Kaifeng seems to be busy these past few days. He doesn't bother Yuqing for a while each evening, so I'll take advantage of that time to send Yuqing to the place you specify."
“Very good,” Lilith said with a charming smile, “Then let me prepare a beautiful scene for Lin Yuqing that she will never forget in her lifetime at dusk three days from now!”
Setting down his wine glass, Si Wen smiled enigmatically and said, "Looking forward to your good show!"
After hanging up the phone, Lilith, looking frantic, threw on a piece of clothing and rushed to David's room.
With Xiao Jincheng gone, Dawei was much more relaxed. He no longer needed to pretend to be crazy and sat there quietly, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
