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

“Mommy, I’m not being silly,” Xuan’er looked at Lin Yuqing earnestly. “Didn’t I tell you my thoughts a while ago? I haven’t changed my mind. I hope you can understand.”

Lin Yuqing's temples throbbed more and more, and her head ached terribly. Looking at the father and son, she felt utterly overwhelmed. Reasoning with them was futile; it was driving her crazy!

Covering her forehead, Lin Yuqing murmured, "What's wrong with you all? Am I crazy or are you crazy?"

"Yuqing, don't get agitated. Let's talk this out slowly." Zhang Kaifeng glanced at Xiao Mingyang and then whispered in Lin Yuqing's ear, "I feel like something's not right. Let's hold back for now."

Xiao Jincheng noticed the two's subtle movements, raised his chin, and said arrogantly, "Lin Yuqing, you've already heard what Xuan'er said, so you should have given up by now."

Biting her lip, Lin Yuqing looked at the two people opposite her, lowered her head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Since things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything more. But before I leave, I want to make Xuan'er's favorite black pepper beef tenderloin one more time."

Xiao Mingyang didn't think Lin Yuqing could change anything in such a short time, so he said, "Okay, I can provide you with a kitchen, so you can show off your skills."

"Yuqing, I'll help you out."

Reaching out to stop Zhang Kaifeng, Lin Yuqing said meaningfully, "Mingyang used to often accompany me in the kitchen, so we have a good understanding. Let him do it. You stay here and keep Xuan'er company for a while, okay?"

Zhang Kaifeng naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Yuqing's actions, nodded in agreement, and then looked at Xiao Mingyang with a warning in his eyes, as if he would make things difficult for this guy if he didn't follow Lin Yuqing's arrangements.

Standing up and brushing off the wrinkles in his clothes, Xiao Mingyang seemed helpless and sighed, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. That saying is really true!"

Watching Xiao Mingyang and Lin Yuqing walk away with a smile, Xuan'er waved to Zhang Kaifeng and said, "Uncle Kaifeng, stay with me for a while."

As soon as the two entered the kitchen, Lin Yuqing slammed the door shut, leaned against the wall with one hand, glared fiercely at Xiao Mingyang, and coldly questioned, "You'd better explain what just happened!"

In front of the towering Xiao Mingyang, Lin Yuqing was like an angry little beast, baring her teeth and claws, yet appearing powerless and adorable.

He reached out and affectionately stroked Lin Yuqing's cheek, but Lin Yuqing dodged Xiao Mingyang's hand in disgust and snorted, "Don't avoid the topic, answer me quickly!"

Seeing Lin Yuqing's angry expression, Xiao Mingyang knew that he had managed to get away with it this time.

With a helpless sigh, Xiao Mingyang said, "Yuqing, whatever we do is for your own good, you know?"

"That's the same thing again, I'm sick of hearing it!" Lin Yuqing frowned, feeling bitter and aggrieved, but her eyes were stubborn as she coldly said, "When you make decisions, you never ask how I feel. Do you think I'll be grateful for that?"

Seeing Lin Yuqing becoming more and more agitated as she spoke, Xiao Mingyang tenderly pulled her into his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and gently stroked it, saying softly, "Yuqing, I know you feel sorry for Xuan'er, but there were indeed reasons for what happened today. Even I didn't expect things to turn out this way."

Lin Yuqing, who was still struggling, raised her head upon hearing Xiao Mingyang's words, looking at him with suspicion, and asked, "What does that mean?"

Xiao Mingyang reached out and stroked Lin Yuqing's long hair, saying in a calm tone, "Actually, Xiao Jincheng's target this time, who went to such great lengths, was none other than you! This was something I hadn't anticipated, which is why I wasted the initiative in the operation."

Xiao Mingyang's words confused Lin Yuqing. She blinked her big eyes a few times, not expecting such an answer. After a long pause, she asked inexplicably, "Because of me!? What have I done to offend Xiao Jincheng?"

“Because as long as you’re here, Xuan’er’s heart won’t stay in England! He can’t let you, this ticking time bomb, be in front of him, so he came up with these tricks.” Xiao Mingyang missed Lin Yuqing’s scent. He held her in his arms and whispered to her as if he were saying the most beautiful love words in the world.

However, Lin Yuqing's heart was focused on Xuan'er, and she was oblivious to Xiao Mingyang's enthusiasm. She just muttered to herself, "Doesn't Xiao Jincheng think about it? If he kills me, won't Xuan'er hold a grudge against him for the rest of her life?"

“That old fox Xiao Jincheng would never do something so stupid. He would use you to control Xuan’er and make her work for him.”

Seeing Lin Yuqing's furrowed brows, Xiao Mingyang looked somewhat unhappy, like a pitiful abandoned puppy. However, his feigned pitifulness went unnoticed by Lin Yuqing, who seemed to suddenly realize something. She grabbed Xiao Mingyang's sleeve with delighted surprise, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "So, Xuan'er's cold attitude towards me was all because of Xiao Jincheng, right?"

"Yes."

Upon receiving this answer, Lin Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, as if the thing she had been worried about had finally disappeared.

Seeing Lin Yuqing relax, Xiao Mingyang held her shoulders and reassured her, "Don't worry, with me here, I definitely won't let Xuan'er get hurt."

Looking up at Xiao Mingyang, Lin Yuqing asked with concern, "When can we take Xuan'er away? I don't want him to stay here any longer. The Xiao family is really too terrible. Staying here for too long will definitely have a bad influence on Xuan'er."

"I understand how you feel, but not everything can go as you wish."

Lin Yuqing understood the implication in Xiao Mingyang's words and frowned as she asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Although he felt these words were cruel, Lin Yuqing had to know eventually, so Xiao Mingyang hardened his heart and said truthfully, "Xuan'er... might not be able to come home with us for a while."

Her beautiful eyes widened slowly. Although surprised, Lin Yuqing pretended to be calm and asked, "Was this also Xiao Jincheng's scheme?"

Nodding silently, Xiao Mingyang suddenly didn't know how to comfort Lin Yuqing.

Lin Yuqing walked silently to the stove and prepared the ingredients without saying a word.

Seeing her heartbroken state, Xiao Mingyang felt sorry for her. He walked behind her and gently hugged her, saying, "Don't worry, I'm here. I will never let Xuan'er suffer any injustice."

Lin Yuqing rubbed her cheek with her hand, muttering helplessly and frustratedly, "Why is it that even though we've tried so hard and come up with so many solutions, we still can't bring Xuan'er back? Doesn't Xiao Jincheng fear retribution for treating Xuan'er like this?!"

His arms tightened instinctively, and Xiao Mingyang said in a deep voice, "Sooner or later, Xiao Jincheng will pay the price for everything he has done!"

"So what should we do now? Should we just leave Xuan'er in the Xiao family?"
