Chapter 1212: Returning to Family
Although it was meant as a compliment, how could Xiao Mingyang not hear the mockery in his words? He immediately slipped his fingers inside Lin Yuqing's clothes, tickling her repeatedly, and feigned a fierce expression, snorting, "You're not being sincere at all, it's completely unconvincing!"
Lin Yuqing dodged left and right, begging for mercy repeatedly, but Xiao Mingyang had no intention of letting go. Watching Lin Yuqing panting heavily beneath him, his actions gradually changed.
Just as Lin Yuqing's laughter was fading, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a small figure rushed in like a gust of wind, jumping onto the sofa in two quick leaps. Looking at Lin Yuqing and Xiao Mingyang with shining eyes, the figure raised its arms and said, "Mommy, what are you playing? Can I join you?"
Lin Yuqing was exasperated, thinking to herself that at least she wasn't disheveled, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing. At the same time, she glared reproachfully at Xiao Mingyang, wondering why he had touched her inappropriately in broad daylight.
Faced with Lin Yuqing's accusing gaze, Xiao Mingyang was also bewildered. If it were anyone else, Xiao Mingyang would definitely have given them a good scolding. But since this was his precious daughter, he could only helplessly pat her head and ask, "Zhenzhen, didn't you go to the mountain behind the castle with Uncle Zhong to look at herbs? Why are you back so early?"
"Because Uncle Zhong said that Great-Grandpa's health is not very good and he needs to be closely monitored, otherwise the situation will be very dangerous."
Xiao Jincheng?
Upon hearing this name, Xiao Mingyang's smile faded, and he asked, "What happened to Great-Grandpa?"
Finding a comfortable position on Lin Yuqing, Zhenzhen played with Lin Yuqing's fingers while carefully recalling what Da Zhong had told her: "Hmm... Great-Grandpa's body was convulsing, he was sweating profusely, and he was in great pain. It could easily trigger other complications."
Seeing how easily Zhenzhen had taken Lin Yuqing, Xiao Mingyang looked helpless. But thinking of the situation Zhenzhen had described, his brows furrowed slightly.
According to Zhenzhen's description, Xiao Jincheng is probably trying to break his dependence on ginseng tea.
I never imagined that someone his age would do something so resolute. But no matter how hard he works, he doesn't deserve any sympathy! He harmed so many people with such vicious methods back then, and today, he's finally reaping the bitter fruit of his actions—a fitting retribution.
The clock that Xiao Jincheng used to tormented to the point of near death now holds his life and death in its hands, and can even easily thwart Xiao Jincheng's resolve. It's truly ironic...
However, Xiao Jincheng is getting old, and such an attempt could lead to unknown dangers. It seems that he is prepared to fight to the death if he fails.
If Xiao Jincheng had no desires or ambitions, even if he were caught red-handed, he could still live out the rest of his life in peace. But the fact that Xiao Jincheng is going to such lengths to get rid of him suggests that Xiao Jincheng is definitely plotting something…
However, Xiao Jincheng was oversimplifying the issue. As his personal doctor, Da Zhong, seeing Xiao Jincheng's current state, would recall everything he had suffered back then. How could he possibly allow Xiao Jincheng to recover so easily?
Zhenzhen, while eating a lollipop, noticed the change in Xiao Mingyang's expression and suddenly pointed at him, saying, "Dad, your smile... it's so sly!"
Xiao Mingyang's smile froze, and he turned to look at Zhenzhen, asking, "Since Da Zhong can't go with you, then I'll have A Jiu go with you instead."
"I don't necessarily have to go. I can wait until Uncle Zhong is done with his work."
“Uncle Da Zhong will be very busy lately and won’t have any time. Listen to your father, I’ll arrange it for you right now!” With that, Xiao Mingyang took Zhenzhen’s hand, walked to the door, called Ajiu over to give him a few instructions, and then handed Zhenzhen over to him.
Zhenzhen turned around suspiciously, looking at Lin Yuqing's helpless smile, and thought that her parents were acting strangely today.
After closing the lid again, this time Xiao Mingyang remembered to close it from the inside. Then he walked a few steps to Lin Yuqing's side, pushed her down, and questioned, "Were you just laughing at me?"
"No, I didn't," Lin Yuqing explained earnestly, then quickly changed the subject, asking, "Why are you off today? Have you finished your work at the company?"
Xiao Mingyang didn't want Xiao Jincheng to take advantage of him, so no matter how busy the company was, he had to prioritize his family. Therefore, he arranged the tasks that could be delegated to his subordinates so that he could return to his family.
Reaching out to twirl Lin Yuqing's long hair, Xiao Mingyang said in a low voice, "Nothing is more important than being with you and the children. To hell with official business."
Lin Yuqing smiled slightly, her eyes catching sight of an open magazine on the table. She reached out and pulled it over, pointing to a page, and said, "By the way, I've got my eye on this glass lamp. If we have time, let's go buy it together, okay?"
The lamps in the magazine were luxurious and dazzling. Although they were beautiful, they were not the style that Lin Yuqing usually liked. Xiao Mingyang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask, "When did you start liking this type of thing?"
“It’s not for my own use, but for Qingtian.” Lin Yuqing said as she swiped her finger across the page, “After looking around, I still think Qingtian will like this glass lamp. It would also be very festive in the new house. I think it’s very suitable.”
Lin Yuqing kept talking about Qingtian, which made Xiao Mingyang curious. He asked, "Why are you only thinking about giving Qingtian a gift? Don't we need to prepare one for Yiran as well?"
"This lamp is placed in their new home, so it can also be considered a gift to Yiran."
Lin Yuqing spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and Xiao Mingyang nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright, you can decide this. But, my dear wife, have you finished discussing other people's matters?"
As Xiao Mingyang spoke, his large hands began to wander. Lin Yuqing tried to dodge, but the space on the sofa was too small, and Xiao Mingyang occupied most of it, so she couldn't escape and could only let the man do as he pleased.
……
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Zhang Kaifeng tied his tie while listening to Andy report on the situation of each company. His face was stern and unsmiling.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, bathing Zhang Kaifeng in a halo that made him appear incredibly handsome, like someone who had stepped out of an oil painting, radiating an air of nobility.
Looking at this perfect man who was about to become her husband, Donna felt a surge of excitement in her heart and felt like the happiest woman in the world.
Over there, Andy finished reporting everything, and Zhang Kaifeng also tidied himself up. However, he didn't say much, just nodded and said, "I understand," and then let Andy handle the arrangements himself.
