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

Chapter 1204: I Don't Want You to Worry

Although he still felt uneasy, seeing Lin Yuqing's happy smile made Xiao Mingyang feel that everything was worthwhile.

"Now that I've shared my story, shouldn't you, in return, tell me about the problems you've been facing recently?"

Xiao Mingyang was still savoring the warm kiss on his cheek when he heard Lin Yuqing's words. He was stunned for a moment, then asked with feigned suspicion, "My problem? What problem do I have!"

“You don’t remember? I can give you a hint,” Lin Yuqing knew that Xiao Mingyang would definitely not tell the whole truth, but she was very patient. She turned to the side, looked at him with bright eyes, and said, “It’s about the company.”

"The company is doing well. Did someone gossip and say something to you?"

"Nobody told me; I discovered it myself. When I went to the company just now, I saw a car that should belong to the finance department parked downstairs. Could it be that the company has encountered some financial or tax problems recently?"

Seeing that Lin Yuqing had already noticed something amiss and couldn't hide it any longer, Xiao Mingyang simply said directly, "If it were really a problem with the company's finances and taxes, it would be easy to solve. But now it seems that someone is deliberately using this as an excuse, and we need to spend some time clearing things up."

Lin Yuqing quickly sat up straight and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

“I cut off all of the Xiao family’s shady businesses, which blocked some people from getting promoted and making money. They wanted to teach me a lesson so that I would resume the Xiao family’s underworld business and stop blocking other people’s path to wealth.”

"Who is the other party?"

"He is a member of the British government."

Lin Yuqing was surprised, but after a moment's thought, she understood. Faced with the temptation of money, race and status are irrelevant; as long as there's profit to be made, that's all that matters. But…

Biting her lip gently, Lin Yuqing asked, "It concerns the British government, won't it be very troublesome?"

Xiao Mingyang didn't seem to take the matter to heart, and said casually, "What's so difficult about that? Does it mean that only Xiao Jincheng is allowed to bribe his superiors, while I can only obediently wait to be slaughtered?"

"You mean, let the finance department handle their own people internally?"

Turning to Lin Yuqing with a smile, Xiao Jincheng didn't answer her directly. Instead, he tapped her nose and said, "My Yuqing is getting smarter and smarter."

Although Xiao Mingyang made it sound simple, Lin Yuqing knew that it must have been filled with bloodshed and turmoil, otherwise Xiao Mingyang wouldn't have been so busy for so many days, not even having time to spend with the children.

However, since Xiao Mingyang doesn't want me to know that much, I'll just pretend I don't know.

With a smile, Lin Yuqing said, "I believe in you, you'll definitely handle it well. By the way, I'll make some ribs for the kids later, you can have some too."

"I'm afraid that won't work," Xiao Mingyang said with some regret, even though he also missed Lin Yuqing's cooking. "The people at the company are waiting for me to have a meeting. Please save some for me so I can eat it when I get home tonight."

"...Alright then, you go ahead and get busy. No matter how tired you are, take good care of yourself."

Reaching out to rub Lin Yuqing's cheek, Xiao Mingyang laughed and said, "I know, my little housekeeper!"

After dropping Lin Yuqing off at the castle gate, Xiao Mingyang kissed her goodbye and then drove back to the company.

Watching Xiao Mingyang leave, Lin Yuqing sighed deeply, then turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

To get to the kitchen, you have to walk through a small garden belonging to the Xiao family. In that garden, there are lilies that Lin Yuqing loves, so every time she passes by, she breaks off a few stems, takes them back to her room, and puts them in a vase to admire.

Bending down among the flowers, Lin Yuqing broke off a few lilies with her delicate hands, held them in her arms, and smiled contentedly.

"Isn't it better to let flowers grow in the soil and follow the natural laws of growth? Why end their lives and turn them into withered flowers according to your own preferences?"

Lin Yuqing froze, turned around to look at the old man in the wheelchair, and smiled gently.

"Few people pass by here, so even if it blooms beautifully, no one will appreciate it. It's such a waste. If someone takes it back to their room, although its beauty will be fleeting, it will still leave an impression on someone who cares. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Xiao Jincheng coughed twice, then laughed and said, "This is the first time I've ever seen someone so ruthless in destroying a flower, and yet they can say it so confidently."

"Because I also love flowers, it's just that my way of doing it is a little different from yours."

Xiao Jincheng nodded, covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, his voice becoming very hoarse, and said, "I didn't expect that you would become so eloquent after just a few days."

A slight smile played on Lin Yuqing's lips. She felt that seeing Xiao Jincheng here couldn't be a simple coincidence. However, she wasn't interested in Xiao Jincheng's purpose, so she changed the subject, saying, "I'm still the same person, just treating different people with different attitudes. By the way, Grandpa, what made you decide to come to this garden today?"

"What, do I not even have the right to go out for some fresh air now?"

"No, that's not what I meant. It's just that it's far from your room, and I was worried it would tire you out."

Looking down and pounding his leg, Xiao Jincheng said with an air of resignation, "My body is already in this state. The worst that can happen is that I'll just lose my old life. What's there to be afraid of?"

Although Xiao Jincheng feigned a sorrowful demeanor, Lin Yuqing dared not treat him as an ordinary old man. Every word Xiao Jincheng uttered was full of hidden meanings; talking to him was truly time-consuming and mentally taxing.

Perhaps Lin Yuqing was a little tired from her recent sparring with Donna, and she no longer wanted to waste her energy scheming against Xiao Jincheng, so she said, "As long as Grandpa is willing to cultivate his character and worry less, he will live to be a hundred years old. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I still need to prepare lunch for Zhenzhen and Xuan'er."

After saying that, Lin Yuqing, holding the lilies, gently walked past Xiao Jincheng.

As Lin Yu walked behind Xiao Jincheng, an aged voice came from behind.

"Young people, love is indeed beautiful, but sometimes, love is not enough to support you and your loved one through life. Appropriate rights are needed to solidify your relationship."

With a slight furrow in her brow, Lin Yuqing turned to look at Xiao Jincheng and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing, just think of it as an old man talking nonsense." Covering his mouth and coughing a few more times, Xiao Jincheng said to his attendant, "Cough cough, it's windy here, let's go back first."

Silently watching Xiao Jincheng's retreating figure, Lin Yuqing felt that his last words had a deeper meaning.
