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

Chapter 1109: Provocation

"This person could be Xuan'er, or anyone else, as long as she meets your standards! So please stop using hypocrisy as a cover to hide your shameless face!"

Xiao Jincheng coughed twice, then laughed instead of getting angry, "I'm shameless? You're wrong about that. I just know what Xuan'er needs most. I think Xuan'er told you about his choice a few days ago. Although you are his mother, I hope you can respect his choice and not always use your mortal perspective to judge the extraordinary Xuan'er!"

Thinking about Xuan'er's unusual behavior, Lin Yuqing was filled with resentment. Xuan'er had always been well-behaved; for her to become so abnormal must be Xiao Jincheng's doing! Why couldn't this man just let their family go? Was the power gained through scheming and intrigue really that tempting?

Seeing Lin Yuqing remain silent, Xiao Jincheng smiled smugly and said, "What, you're not convinced? Then let's stand in front of Xuan'er and let him say what's on his mind."

Even though Lin Yuqing was angry, she knew this was Xiao Jincheng's trap, and there was no need to compromise just to get angry with him.

Xiao Jincheng seemed to sense Lin Yuqing's hesitation, so he deliberately provoked her, saying, "You don't dare to go? It seems you still don't dare to face the facts!"

"Who says I'm afraid to face the facts?" Lin Yuqing stared coldly at Xiao Jincheng, a fire instantly igniting in her heart that burned away all her reason.

"Then come with me to ask Xuan'er and let him tell us the final answer."

Seeing that Lin Yuqing was about to answer Xiao Jincheng, Zhang Kaifeng quickly grabbed her sleeve and warned in a low voice, "Yuqing!"

Lin Yuqing knew Zhang Kaifeng was worried about her, but there were some things she had to face alone. So Lin Yuqing gave Zhang Kaifeng a reassuring smile and said, "Kaifeng, I know Xiao Jincheng has a conspiracy, but if we don't go deep into the tiger's den, we won't know what he's up to. Why don't I be the bait and see what Xiao Jincheng is up to?"

Lin Yuqing's suggestion was immediately rejected by Zhang Kaifeng. Without even thinking, he refused, "No, if you're going to the Xiao family, I have to go with you!"

Lin Yuqing said resolutely, "Don't worry, even for Xuan'er's sake, Xiao Jincheng wouldn't dare to do anything to me."

Zhang Kaifeng shook his head and said helplessly, "You don't understand Xiao Jincheng at all. This man is ruthless. Why would he let you go just because of Xuan'er?"

She pursed her lips and looked at Zhang Kaifeng, her gentle, rain-soaked eyes revealing a hint of determination.

"Perhaps you're right, but for my child, I'm willing to pay any price! Even if I know there's a volcano ahead, I'll still brave it! I know your phone has a listening function, give it to me now!"

"Yuqing..."

"So, have you two reached an agreement?"

Zhang Kaifeng was about to say something more when Xiao Jincheng impatiently interrupted him.

"Alright, Kaifeng, I'm Xuan'er's mommy. I have an obligation to do these things for him, and I do it willingly!" Lin Yuqing smiled at Zhang Kaifeng, then took the phone from Zhang Kaifeng's hand and resolutely walked towards Xiao Jincheng.

“Since Yuqing is going to the Xiao family, I’ll also come uninvited and shamelessly go along,” Siwen, who had been ignored all along, suddenly said.

Si Wen's arrival made Xiao Jincheng's smile even more intriguing, making it impossible to discern his true feelings.

"What, young master of the Si family, are you also interested in my granddaughter-in-law?"

Xiao Jincheng's words were full of humiliation, his tone as if he were judging a prostitute, which made Lin Yuqing feel extremely ashamed and indignant. However, she only clenched her fists, glared at Xiao Jincheng resentfully, and remained silent.

With his arms crossed, Si Wen smiled cruelly and dangerously, saying, "No matter what, you have to watch the show to the end. Leaving halfway through is a real downer."

“That makes a lot of sense. If Mr. Siwen doesn’t mind, please feel free to do so.”

With a cold, hawk-like gaze sweeping over the young men, Xiao Jincheng turned and was pushed back to the Xiao family castle by his servant.

With a nervous heart, Lin Yuqing followed behind Xiao Jincheng into the Xiao family home, where she saw Xuan'er and Xiao Mingyang playing chess under a tree.

The little girl, her lips pressed tightly together and her brows slightly furrowed, looked like she was deep in thought. Hearing footsteps, she turned around and, upon seeing Lin Yuqing, smiled faintly and called out, "Mommy."

Lin Yuqing was startled by Xuan'er's calm demeanor, as if her son had already adapted to life here and was thriving.

Xiao Mingyang, who was sitting opposite Xuan'er, also turned around and smiled at Lin Yuqing and Zhang Kaifeng.

Upon seeing Xiao Mingyang, Zhang Kaifeng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

This guy was just with me a moment ago, discussing how to rescue Xuan'er. How come he's sitting here leisurely playing chess in the blink of an eye? Could this guy in front of me be another imposter of Xiao Mingyang?

Just as Zhang Kaifeng was lost in thought, Xiao Jincheng had already walked up to the two of them, glanced at the chessboard, and laughed, "Xuan'er's situation is a bit dangerous. Your father's pieces are about to attack your city."

Xuan'er smiled smugly, then lightly lifted her wrist and calmly placed a piece. With just this one move, the situation on the chessboard changed dramatically, and life and death were reversed.

Xiao Jincheng couldn't hide his surprise on his face, and then looked at Xuan'er with admiration.

Biting her lip and looking at everything in front of her, Lin Yuqing took a few steps forward and softly called out, "Xuan'er, Mommy has come to take you home."

"Go home?" Xuan'er looked at Lin Yuqing and then at Xiao Mingyang with a puzzled expression, and said, "I'm perfectly fine here, why would I want to go back?"

The smile on her lips was slightly stiff, but Lin Yuqing still said hopefully, "Don't you miss Mommy and Zhenzhen? We are a family, and we will always be reunited, right?"

"That's true, but I can't live under Mommy's protection forever. One day, I will leave home and venture out on my own."

Looking at Xuan'er in front of her, Lin Yuqing felt a pang of bitterness. Slowly straightening up, Lin Yuqing glared at Xiao Jincheng and coldly demanded, "Xiao Jincheng, what medicine did you give my child?!"

With his hands hanging down on his knees, Xiao Jincheng said with a smug smile, "I didn't force him. It was all Xuan'er's own choice. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mingyang."

When his name was mentioned, Xiao Mingyang looked up from the chessboard and looked at Lin Yuqing with some helplessness. He shrugged and said, "I just tried to persuade Xuan'er, but he said he wants to stay and learn skills from his grandfather. I think this child has made up his mind. It's going to be difficult to convince him."

Seeing Xiao Mingyang's helpless expression, Lin Yuqing was furious and said angrily, "What are you saying? Just because the child is being naughty, does that mean you have to join in the naughtiness?"
