"No, Mommy," Xuan'er shook his head, pushed the snack away, and said, "I'm a little tired. I want to go back and rest first."

After saying that, Xuan'er returned to the room and closed the door gently.

"What's wrong with this child?" Lin Yuqing tilted her head, looking a little puzzled.

Zhenzhen nudged Lin Yuqing from the side and saw her looking back at her. She tilted her head and asked, "Mommy, can I have Xuan'er's snack?"

really……

Placing the snack in front of Zhenzhen, Lin Yuqing leaned over in front of her and said, "Eat slowly. Mommy will go check on Xuaner."

"it is good!"

Gently pushing the door open, Lin Yuqing saw Xuan'er's small figure sitting at the table, seemingly writing something.

Hearing the sound, Xuan'er quickly closed the notebook, turned around and looked at Lin Yuqing, and said, "Mommy, why didn't you knock when you came in?"

"Uh..." Lin Yuqing smiled awkwardly and said, "Mommy forgot. I will remember it next time."

This child has really grown up and even has his own secrets that he can't share with his mommy.

Feeling a little disappointed, Lin Yuqing still smiled and sat next to Xuan'er, asking, "You were quite happy in kindergarten just now, why are you not in a good mood after coming back?"

"Nothing," Xuan'er said, looking down at his diary, "I just miss Dad a little bit."

Hearing this, Lin Yuqing felt a pang of pain in her heart. She hugged Xuan'er and murmured, "Dad will come back. Before that, Mommy will protect you and Zhenzhen."

Xuan'er nodded, then sat up from Lin Yuqing's arms and asked, "Mommy, would you be happy if Xuan'er could bring Dad back?"

Lin Yuqing was startled, then her heart was filled with warmth. Thinking Xuan'er was comforting her, she stroked Xuan'er's hair and said, "Mommy knows you miss Daddy too. Xuan'er, don't worry. Daddy loves you and Zhenzhen so much, and he will be back soon."

Xuan'er didn't say anything as he touched the diary in his hand. His silence made Lin Yuqing feel sad.

Xuan'er and Zhenzhen have been lacking fatherly love throughout their growth. After finally reuniting with Xiao Mingyang, they have to go through many hardships and are constantly worried about losing.

Although he tried his best to let the two children enjoy love and warmth, Xiao Mingyang's role could not be ignored. Now, Xiao Mingyang has been missing for so long, and Xuan'er is a sensitive child, so he must have some thoughts.

Lin Yuqing really wanted to chat with Xuan'er again, but Xuan'er was a little absent-minded. There was nothing she could do, so Lin Yuqing had to find an opportunity to counsel Xuan'er later.

Seeing that Mommy had left the room, Xuan'er reopened the diary, which was full of childish handwriting, recording what he wanted to say to Lin Yuqing.

……

Lilith bit the straw with her red lips and squinted at the man opposite her with a sarcastic smile on her face.

"I remember you lectured me last time, saying my love was selfish. I thought your love could be so great! Turns out you're also someone who would do anything for love!"

Lilith leaned forward slightly, supporting her chin with one hand, raised an eyebrow and asked, "In order not to make Lin Yuqing sad, you never forced her feelings. But why do you think it through now and want to cooperate with me?"

After taking a sip of coffee, Zhang Kaifeng had a blank expression on his face and seemed very impatient to talk to Lilith.

"I have no obligation to explain to you what I think."

Staring at Zhang Kaifeng with seductive eyes, Lilith smiled and said, "But you change too quickly. I will doubt your sincerity."

Zhang Kaifeng raised his lips in disdain and said with a cold smile, "You don't have time to wait any longer! I've investigated your Xiao family. It's a miracle that the old man has been able to hold on until now. If you can't stabilize the Xiao family elders, the entire family will fall apart sooner or later."

Leaning gracefully on the sofa, Zhang Kaifeng narrowed his eyes, revealing a wicked and arrogant look. "You have no choice now. My cooperation with you is a gift to you! If you know what's good for you, bring Xuan'er back to the Xiao family as soon as possible. Don't wait until I regret it!"

Lilith was also a very proud person. After being mercilessly mocked by Zhang Kaifeng, she clenched her fists, her face twisted, and snorted coldly, "That kid trusted you a lot, didn't he? I wonder if he'll cry when he finds out you betrayed him!"

"Woman, you talk too much nonsense!" Zhang Kaifeng frowned, his tone impatient, and said, "You have to remember that I am different from you. I just want Yuqing to give up, but I have never thought of hurting her. This is my bottom line. If you dare to touch it, I will kill you without a burial place!"

Although she was afraid of Zhang Kaifeng's intimidation, Lilith didn't want to be looked down upon by him, so she sneered, "Hmph, if Lin Yuqing knew you were the one who abducted her son, she would definitely hate you forever. So forget about pretending to be a concubine and having a virtuous archway!"

Zhang Kaifeng's face changed at the vulgar words, and he reached out and grabbed Lilith's collar. Although the collar was torn open and exposed a spring scene, Zhang Kaifeng remained unmoved. He stared at Lilith fiercely, and his terrifying expression made people shudder.

"You'd better keep your mouth clean, otherwise you won't live to inherit the Xiao family's fortune!"

Zhang Kaifeng's demonic appearance was terrifying, and Lilith suddenly realized that this man was a guy that the underworld feared. Because of Lin Yuqing, Zhang Kaifeng hid his claws and pretended to be kind.

But he is still a devil at heart. If you forget this, he will eat you up sooner or later without leaving anything behind.

With a panicked smile on her lips, Lilith reached out and shook Zhang Kaifeng's big hand, pretending to be affectionate and said, "Why don't you just talk nicely? Why are you pulling my clothes? Are you also bewitched by me, Lilith?"

As if he had touched something disgusting, Zhang Kaifeng quickly pushed Lilith away with a look of disgust on his face.

"Although I agree to cooperate with you, it doesn't mean you can act recklessly in front of me! I will find an opportunity to hand Xuan'er over to you, but remember, you are not allowed to harm him. I will send someone to follow you back to England."

"That's impossible!" Lilith said abruptly.

"You have no right to refuse." Zhang Kaifeng returned to his indifferent attitude and said, "I don't trust your character, so one of my people must accompany you. I want to ensure Xuan'er's safety."

Lilith thought this was funny. She had already betrayed the child, so why would she still care about him? But Lilith didn't have the courage to question Zhang Kaifeng, her face gloomy.

"If you don't trust me, then why don't you cooperate? Who knows what you're up to? What if you want to harm our Xiao family?"

Zhang Kaifeng raised his lips as if he had heard a funny joke, and said disdainfully, "I don't even care about your little wealth! If you don't want to cooperate, I have other ways. You don't have to be my only friend!"

After saying that, Zhang Kaifeng pretended to leave.
