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

Xiao Mingyang pondered for a moment and said, "Giving an answer too quickly will only make Xiao Jincheng suspicious. How about this, you just answer that Dad is still considering it."

"Ah."

While the father and son were talking, Lin Yuqing brought out a plate of cake and placed it in front of them, saying, "Xuan'er came home early today. Mommy hasn't prepared dinner yet, so have some cake first. Mommy will go cook dinner now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yuqing was about to go to the kitchen, but she found Xuan'er staring blankly at the cake. She couldn't help but ask, "Xuan'er, what's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Xuan'er lowered her head and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's just that this cake is Zhenzhen's favorite tiramisu."

After hearing Xuan'er's words, Lin Yuqing also fell silent.

Xuan'er knew that her mother missed her younger sister no less than anyone else, so she regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth. Looking up, she met Lin Yuqing's moist eyes and panicked, stammering, "Mommy, I didn't miss my sister, I..."

It was rare to see Xuan'er flustered, and Lin Yuqing really wanted to comfort him with a smile. But right now, Lin Yuqing could only force a smile, because she was afraid that if she spoke, her tears would flow uncontrollably.

Reaching out to embrace Lin Yuqing, Xiao Mingyang's voice was calm and steady, as if it possessed a magical power that could gradually calm one's heart.

“Once everything here is over, we can go back and reunite with Zhenzhen. Or, I can bring Zhenzhen here now.”

"No!" Lin Yuqing hurriedly looked up at Xiao Mingyang and stopped him, "It's too dangerous here. We can't let Zhenzhen get involved in this mess! Mingyang, didn't you say before that you wanted to take over Xiao's Enterprise from Xiao Jincheng? I think now is a good time."

With a slight smile, Xiao Mingyang said, "I know what to do, so don't worry about it. Besides, Yu Wei is here to help take care of Zhenzhen. We video chat with Zhenzhen every day, and she's doing very well. What else do you have to worry about?"

Although Lin Yuqing could see Zhenzhen's face through the screen, she still missed her daughter very much. Zhenzhen was so clingy; she really didn't know how she would endure being without her mother during this time.

Shaking her head, Lin Yuqing didn't want to continue wallowing in self-pity. She looked up, silently encouraging herself, and said, "Don't worry about me. I know how to adjust my mood. Zhenzhen has become so strong now. If I, as her mother, am still so weak, it would be terrible. Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll go cook dinner now."

Watching Lin Yuqing walk out the door with a smile, Xuan'er sighed softly, as if she felt very sorry for her.

"Kid, why are you sighing? Do you not have confidence in me?"

Glancing at Xiao Mingyang, who was frowning beside her, Xuan'er said casually, with a lazy air, "You'd better sort out the current trouble. If you make Mommy sad again, I will take your place and become the head of the Xiao family!"

After saying that, Xuan'er snorted and went back to her room. Xiao Mingyang looked at the closed door, shaking his head with a mixture of annoyance and amusement.

……

In the dimly lit room, Xiao Jincheng sat by the window, a thin blanket covering his knees, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly asleep.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Jincheng was about to say something when he started coughing incessantly.

"Master, are you okay?"

Xiao Jincheng coughed for a long time before he slowly calmed down. His voice was hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against stone, and he said in a rough voice, "It's okay, come in."

The attendant walked in with a worried expression, only to find that Xiao Jincheng had recovered and was looking at him with cold eyes. The attendant's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his eyes to look at Xiao Jincheng, saying respectfully, "Master, the young master wants to see you."

“Mingyang?” Xiao Jincheng smiled knowingly, “I guessed he should be here soon. Since he finally thought of coming to see me, let him in quickly.”

"Yes."

After the attendant left, a short while later, Xiao Mingyang walked in expressionlessly and sat down casually opposite Xiao Jincheng.

"Don't you even greet your grandfather when you see him?"

With one hand propping up his forehead, Xiao Mingyang said with a nonchalant air, "Good morning, Grandpa. Are you satisfied with this?"

"You didn't come here just to spite me, did you?"

Adjusting his posture, Xiao Mingyang revealed a wicked smile and said slowly, "I'm not so idle as to come here looking for fun. Didn't you have Xuan'er ask me if I wanted to return to Xiao's Enterprise? I can give you an answer now."

Xiao Jincheng had already anticipated Xiao Mingyang's purpose in coming, so he wasn't in a hurry to know the answer. He just smiled and looked at him, waiting for Xiao Mingyang to state his choice himself.

Seeing Xiao Jincheng so calm and composed, Xiao Mingyang smiled, got up and casually wandered around the room, saying, "I have been involved in the affairs of the Xiao Group before, and it would be easy for me to take over again. But if Grandpa wants my help, I have conditions."

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Xiao Jincheng smiled faintly and said, "Tell me about it."

Turning around and standing opposite Xiao Jincheng, Xiao Mingyang exuded an imposing aura and coldly commanded, "First of all, you are not allowed to lay a hand on my family again. Moreover, you must acknowledge Yuqing's identity and announce to the public that she is my only wife."

Xiao Jincheng nodded and said, "Your family is my family, and I will naturally treat them well. As for Lin Yuqing, I have also acknowledged her status as his granddaughter-in-law. However, we will have to wait a while before making it public, because I need to create a certain atmosphere in public opinion. After all, Lilith just left, and you now have another woman and child, which will damage your reputation. But don't worry, once the mainstream media reports come out, I will hold a press conference to acknowledge Yuqing's status!"

Xiao Mingyang knew that revealing Yuqing's identity too early would not do her any good and would only bring her criticism. Therefore, he was relatively satisfied with Xiao Jincheng's arrangement and continued, "Also, you need to release the big clock!"

A cryptic smile appeared on Xiao Jincheng's lips as he said, "It seems you haven't given up on your friends after all."

Shrugging, Xiao Mingyang said nonchalantly, "If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do. But for me, I'm just looking for an ally."

Xiao Jincheng didn't take these perfunctory words to heart, and said with a slight smile, "It's no problem to bring out the Great Bell. But it has to stay by my side to treat my illness. You see, without the Great Bell, my body has become broken and dilapidated again. It seems that if I want to live, I really can't live without it."
