Nodding haphazardly, Madam Xiao, supported by Lin Yuqing, returned to her room to rest.

Half an hour later, Lin Yuqing came out of the room and found that Xiao Mingyang was still standing there.

How is my mom?

"She's already asleep, so you don't need to worry."

"……Thank you!"

Such a polite tone startled Lin Yuqing, who then gave a bitter smile and said, "You... don't need to be so polite with me. This is what I should do."

An awkward silence fell between the two. Xiao Mingyang stared greedily at Lin Yuqing, while Lin Yuqing dared not look at the man she loved.

After a long pause, Xiao Mingyang finally asked, "Are you leaving now?"

Lin Yuqing nodded and said, "Yes, Andy booked a flight for tonight. The clan chief in France is waiting for me."

Xiao Mingyang looked at Lin Yuqing with concern and said, "The situation over there must be very troublesome. You have to be careful."

"Don't worry, all the paperwork is prepared perfectly, they won't be able to find any opportunity to take advantage of us."

Lin Yuqing raised her hand to smooth her long hair, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then I'll leave things at home to you. I'm sure everyone will have a lot of questions, so you'll need to be patient so they don't notice anything amiss."

"I know."

"The children will be starting school in the second half of the year. I've already chosen suitable schools and sent the information to your email. When the time is right, you can prepare to help them apply for the entrance exams."

"it is good."

"I think Yu Wei and Mark are getting married soon. If they really have good news, remember to let me know."

"no problem."

……

No matter what Lin Yuqing said, Xiao Mingyang always acted submissive, as if he were a villain who abandoned his husband and children, while he waited patiently in his cold cave, devotedly waiting for his beloved.

Shaking her head, Lin Yuqing said helplessly, "Don't be like this, it's not like I'll never be able to come back."

"Even if you're only gone for a day, I'll still worry about you."

Such simple words contained the deepest emotions, moving Lin Yuqing, yet leaving her helpless.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

The conversation between the two was interrupted by a cough. Xiao Mingyang turned around and looked at them, his expression turning cold.

Sitting in his wheelchair, Xiao Jincheng looked emaciated and stared blankly at Xiao Mingyang. He chuckled and said, "I heard I'm moving out? If that's true, I won't let anyone move my things out. I can just leave in a bit."

With a slight frown, Xiao Mingyang said, "I will arrange your accommodation. You don't need to worry. Just follow my orders."

Xiao Jincheng sighed and said, "Alas, I never thought that I, Xiao Jincheng, would one day be ordered around by others!"

"What comes next will be even more unexpected, and I wonder if you'll have time to marvel at them all!"

Xiao Jincheng's bad attitude did not anger Xiao Mingyang. He simply had a servant send the restless Xiao Jincheng back home, and then carefully arranged Xiao Jincheng's accommodation.

Looking at Xiao Mingyang meaningfully, Lin Yuqing smiled and said, "You've changed a lot. If it were the old Xiao Mingyang, he would have been furious by now."

“After going through so much, people always change.” Xiao Mingyang smiled helplessly and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to the airport.”

Lin Yuqing wanted to refuse the suggestion, but Xiao Mingyang's attitude left her no room to refuse.

With a heavy heart, Lin Yuqing said goodbye to her two little ones and got into Xiao Mingyang's car to go to the airport.

As the scenery receded into the distance, Lin Yuqing felt a pang of sadness, wanting to cry but constantly telling herself to be strong.

Standing at the airport, Xiao Mingyang instructed Ajiu on how to take care of Lin Yuqing, what precautions to take after arriving in France, and who to ask for help if any problems arose.

Listening to Xiao Mingyang's detailed arrangements, Lin Yuqing had a strange feeling that she hadn't separated from Xiao Mingyang, but was just going to France for a trip and would be back soon.

"Yuqing, Yuqing?"

Suddenly looking up, Lin Yuqing stared blankly at Xiao Mingyang and asked, "Huh?"

Seeing Lin Yuqing looking dazed, Xiao Mingyang tapped her forehead and said helplessly, "You, be careful out there, take good care of yourself. If there's anything you can't handle, just call me, okay?"

Lin Yuqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm not some delicate rich girl. I'm a veteran of many battles!"

"Yes, a strong general has no weak soldiers. Those who come out of my command are certainly excellent enough."

This man still hasn't changed his arrogant nature!

Lin Yuqing smiled, then pursed her lips and said, "I... I should go now. You... take good care of yourself too."

"Don't worry, the children and I are waiting for you to come back!"

One sentence brought tears to Lin Yuqing's eyes instantly.

Not wanting Xiao Mingyang to worry, Lin Yuqing didn't say anything and turned around to prepare to board the plane with Ajiu.

Looking at Lin Yuqing's tear-streaked face, Ajiu sighed deeply in his heart, wondering why two people who clearly loved each other had to part ways.

Hey--

……

After a flight of more than ten hours, Lin Yuqing arrived at a manor in the south of France, where lavender fields filled the air, turning the place into a purple world.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuqing admired the scenery and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful, like a world from a painting!"

“You won’t say that when you meet the head of the Felix family!”

Turning to look at Andy, Lin Yuqing smiled and asked, "Are you nervous?"

Straightening his tie, Andy feigned composure and said, "I've only been here with the boss once, but I swear, I never want to come back a second time!"

"Why? Is it because the clan leader wants to be fierce?"

Fierce? That word simply cannot describe Chief Felix's temperament. As for what kind of person he really is, Lin Yuqing should wait until she meets him and then judge for herself!

Seeing that Andy didn't speak, Lin Yuqing shrugged her shoulders, then took Ajiu and followed Andy into the manor.

The manor was very large. The gatekeeper, knowing their identities, specially arranged for a car to take the three of them to the main house.

Lin Yuqing thought that only a few representatives would need to attend the family meeting, but she never expected that she would be greeted by a room full of men, women, and children!

Lin Yuqing started feeling dizzy after just one glance.

Fortunately, Andy was more experienced. He bowed respectfully to the old man sitting in the middle and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency Chief. This is Lin Yuqing, the heir to the title of Kai!"

Old Felix sat in the center with an air of authority, scrutinizing Lin Yuqing with his hawk-like eyes.

At this moment, Lin Yuqing was like a lamb to the slaughter. Everyone was eyeing her covetously, and she seemed so weak and powerless to resist.

Hmph, Zhang Kaifeng has been smart his whole life, but he never expected to find such a useless heir. She'll be played to death in less than three days!

With a disdainful snort in his heart, old Felix wore a contemptuous expression, wanting to shatter the woman's confidence at their first meeting and make her retreat without a fight.

However, Lin Yuqing did not take old Felix's intimidation seriously. She looked around and finally met his gaze. She smiled and said, "Hello, I am Kaifeng's wife. My name is Lin Yuqing!"
