Chapter 821: Failure of Cooperation
However, Yuqing's recent sleepiness is a sign of blood clots compressing her nerves. If the condition cannot be effectively controlled, Yuqing will spend more and more time sleeping, until she never wakes up again...
Holding his hands tightly together, Zhang Kaifeng smiled comfortingly and said, "You've been too tense for too long recently. Now that the children are back with you, you'll relax and naturally make up for the sleep you've had."
Hearing Zhang Kaifeng say this, Lin Yuqing nodded and said, "Maybe. With the children around, I really relax a lot. Otherwise, I really don't know how to spend this time."
Looking up at the sky, Lin Yuqing said quietly, "I always tell myself to be strong, because my children need me. I have to protect them when Mingyang is not around. But no matter how hard I try, the children's sensitive hearts can still feel that they are different from other children. I want Mingyang to come back soon. I really don't know how much longer I can hold on."
If possible, you can let me protect you and the children.
Looking at Lin Yuqing silently, Zhang Kaifeng just said this in his heart.
Zhang Kaifeng felt distressed when he saw Lin Yuqing's fragile yet strong appearance. He casually picked up a blade of grass and chewed it. Lying on the grass, Zhang Kaifeng knew what Lin Yuqing wanted to ask.
"I have already found out that the Xiao family has been making unusual moves recently."
After hearing this, Lin Yuqing quickly turned around and looked at Zhang Kaifeng seriously, asking, "What's the unusual movement?"
"Outsiders have been frequently appearing at the Xiao family these days, and all signs indicate they are Lilith's subordinates. I suspect Lilith is cultivating her own power, and Xiao Jincheng is unaware of this. Lilith has the audacity to do this, which must mean Xiao Jincheng is no longer able to intervene. It seems the Xiao family will soon be under a new ownership."
Lin Yuqing's expression changed constantly as she murmured, "Lilith is the boss, but what about Mingyang? Could it be that they have given up on Mingyang?"
Zhang Kaifeng looked at Lin Yuqing, nodded slowly, and said, "I'm afraid that's exactly the case. Rather than letting a disobedient pawn disrupt the situation, it would be better to let someone familiar take over the Xiao family. At the very least, they will wholeheartedly carry it forward. But Lilith has made another small move, proving that she also doesn't trust Xiao Jincheng. Perhaps we can use this to drive a wedge between them."
Sitting on the grass in a daze, Lin Yuqing murmured weakly, "If they give up Mingyang, will he be in danger? Didn't you say before that Mingyang is very likely in their hands? Does giving up mean..."
Lin Yuqing didn't have the energy to say the rest of the words. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
"You don't have to be too pessimistic. Although the current situation is unfavorable to Xiao Mingyang, Xiao Jincheng will not leave himself a way out. If he really doesn't have a suitable candidate to inherit the Xiao family, then the huge Xiao family will be completely devoured by his subordinates. He will never allow such a thing to happen, so he will never touch Xiao Mingyang until the very end. Yuqing, you have to believe in Xiao Mingyang."
Lin Yuqing nodded vigorously, as if she suddenly thought of something.
"There's one thing I haven't mentioned to you before. When Xuan'er and Zhenzhen first arrived in Italy, Lilith came to me and told me that if Mingyang didn't show up, Master Xiao would capture Xuan'er and replace Mingyang as the heir to the Xiao family. But Xuan'er would become a puppet, and Lilith would still be the one truly controlling the Xiao family. I don't know how much truth that woman said, but even if there's a one percent chance, I'll protect Xuan'er!"
Seeing Lin Yuqing's gradually disoriented expression, Zhang Kaifeng hurriedly held her hands and comforted her, "I'm here. They won't let them lay a finger on you and your son. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you until Xiao Mingyang shows up."
Looking at Zhang Kaifeng with gratitude, Lin Yuqing wondered how she could deserve such devotion from Zhang Kaifeng.
Looking at Zhang Kaifeng's affectionate eyes, Lin Yuqing lowered her head, looked sideways and said, "I'm not worthy of you doing this. You should have your own happiness instead of guarding a relationship that will never be reciprocated."
"How do you know there won't be a response?" Zhang Kaifeng smiled in relief and said, "I'm afraid the definition of response in my mind is different from yours. As long as I can be with her and feel your happiness, that's a response."
That deep gaze made Lin Yuqing almost breathless. She felt like a sinner who was blocking Zhang Kaifeng's happiness.
Looking down at her hands, Lin Yuqing said, "You said last time that you would soon be able to find out Mingyang's location in the Xiao family. So, have you found out yet?"
"We've already located a location, but Xiao Jincheng is very cunning. He noticed something was wrong and moved Xiao Mingyang away. I'm afraid it will be more difficult to find Xiao Mingyang again. But don't worry, I've already sent more people, and I believe it won't be long before we find him again."
With her hands clenched tightly, Lin Yuqing asked, "Should we find Ming Yang before Xiao Jincheng dies? Otherwise, he will be in danger, right?"
"Yes."
After taking a deep breath, Lin Yuqing lowered her head and thought about something. When she looked up again, her eyes were clear and she said, "Mingyang will be fine. I believe in him!"
After saying that, Lin Yuqing turned her head and looked at the children playing over there, her eyes flickering.
Zhang Kaifeng's gaze fell on Lin Yuqing without fail, his brows furrowed.
If possible, he really hoped that he could be in danger instead of Xiao Mingyang, so that Xiao Mingyang could accompany Lin Yuqing and make her smile again.
Zhenzhen was tired from playing, so she ran over to Lin Yuqing, threw herself into her arms, and said with a smile, "Mommy, come and play with us."
"Mommy is a little tired, you guys go play."
"But Mommy hasn't played yet, why is she tired?"
Looking at Zhenzhen's expectant eyes, Lin Yuqing rubbed her hair lovingly and said helplessly: "Okay, what are you playing?"
"We are playing eagle and chicken. Mark is the eagle. He is so stupid that he can never catch us."
"Hey, I was just trying to be nice to you guys." Mark had sharp ears and when he heard Zhenzhen slandering his abilities, he quickly tried to distance himself from her.
With a smile on her lips, Lin Yuqing stood up, took Zhenzhen's hand, and returned to the grass where they had just played games. She joined in and started playing happily.
No one knows whether Lin Yuqing is really happy, but on the surface, she is very happy now.
After looking away, Zhang Kaifeng seemed to have become a different person in an instant, with a cold and murderous aura all over his body. He turned his head and looked at an obscure shadow in the corner.
