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

Chapter 1164: An Extraordinary Ball

"I'm afraid that won't work. I've already consulted a lawyer, and he said that Xuan'er has only just taken over those 30% of the shares, and cannot transfer them again for a period of time. Otherwise, Grandpa, it would be better if you gave me a little more."

His movements froze, and Xiao Jincheng's eyes, sharp as a hawk's, fixed on Xiao Mingyang. But a smile played on his lips as he said, "I don't have many shares left, so I'm afraid I can't meet your conditions."

With a deep sigh, Xiao Mingyang seemed quite troubled and said, "The number of shares doesn't matter, it just depends on Grandpa's sincerity. Since you're just saying it, then forget it. It's not so bad to continue being a lazy bum like me. After all, the company belongs to Xuan'er, so it's only right that he suffers a little now."

With that, Xiao Mingyang got up to leave.

"Ming Yang!"

Hearing Xiao Jincheng's suddenly raised voice, Xiao Mingyang revealed a smug smile, then turned around and quietly waited for Xiao Jincheng's reply.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jincheng said, "I can give you some more shares, but you must sign a guarantee that you will not transfer these shares!"

“Grandpa is really thoughtful. Don’t worry, I never intended to transfer these shares, so I can sign this guarantee!”

Seeing Xiao Mingyang agree without hesitation, Xiao Jincheng couldn't help but wonder what this man was up to.

“As long as Grandpa prepares the share transfer agreement and we sign it, I will go to the company.”

Nodding slightly, Xiao Jincheng said, "Okay. I'll prepare as soon as possible. Once you're at the company, you must settle down and manage it well, understand?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely do my best. That way, Grandpa can concentrate on the drug business. After all, you are the one you really care about."

Looking at Xiao Mingyang with a meaningful gaze, Xiao Jincheng did not deny his words, but instead explained, "I did this so that the roots of the Xiao family could be planted deeper in the soil. You will understand my good intentions in the future."

"I hope so," Xiao Mingyang shrugged and asked, "Does Grandpa have anything else to say? If not, I'll head back."

“Now that you mention it, I do remember something,” Xiao Jincheng said with a look of sudden realization. “There’s a cocktail party tomorrow, and all the big names in Britain will be there. Since you’re going to take over the company anyway, you can attend in my place.”

Although Xiao Jincheng spoke casually, Xiao Mingyang saw a strange light in his eyes, as if it carried a hint of expectation.

So that's the real reason Xiao Jincheng convinced himself to return to the company!

With a snort in his heart, Xiao Mingyang said, "I can go to the party. But there will definitely be a lot of people concerned about my 'illness'. Explaining too much will annoy anyone, so I can't be sure what I'll say or do."

“It’s alright,” Xiao Jincheng said good-naturedly. “I will arrange a female companion for you. With her by your side, she can also offer some guidance.”

“Oh, I see. Then I don’t need any other female companions. I just want Yuqing to accompany me to the party.” Xiao Mingyang put his hands in his pockets, smiling broadly. His tone wasn’t one of discussing things with Xiao Jincheng, but rather announcing the final decision. “I guess none of you have met Yuqing yet. This is a good opportunity to let everyone know who my real wife is!”

Xiao Jincheng had anticipated this answer and didn't try to persuade him further. Instead, he went along with Xiao Mingyang and said, "Although they are from high society, they are not saints. Naturally, they will have a lot of complaints about Yuqing. Are you sure she can handle it?"

"Don't worry, Yuqing and I have been through so many storms, how could we be scared by such a small disturbance? Besides, with me here, I won't let anyone hurt Yuqing!"

Seeing Xiao Mingyang's resolute tone, Xiao Jincheng stopped trying to persuade him and only gave him the time and place before letting him go back.

Watching Xiao Mingyang's retreating figure, Xiao Jincheng chuckled coldly, coughed twice, and muttered, "You think you can protect that woman? Hmph, I'll be watching with bated breath!"

……

Upon learning that she was going to a dance with Xiao Mingyang, Lin Yuqing felt uneasy, sensing that something was amiss.

Xiao Mingyang teased Lin Yuqing, thinking she was being too cautious.

"It's just a ball. Xiao Jincheng isn't the organizer, what tricks could he possibly pull?" Sitting next to Lin Yuqing, Xiao Mingyang reassured her. "Besides, I've investigated. This ball is held every year under the guise of charity. There's an auction at the party, and government officials will be in attendance. Most importantly, I'm here. What are you worried about?"

Xiao Mingyang's smugness made Lin Yuqing unable to suppress her laughter, but in an instant, she looked worried again.

Tilting her head slightly, Lin Yuqing murmured, "I don't think Xiao Jincheng would be so kind. Having you bring me to the party would be tantamount to announcing my identity to the public, wouldn't it? He'd definitely use something so important to negotiate with you; why would he let us have it for free?"

Patting Lin Yuqing's head, Xiao Mingyang looked pleased and said, "Wow, I never expected my Yuqing to become so smart. She even knows how to analyze the good and evil in people's hearts. Hmm, she deserves praise!"

Xiao Mingyang's teasing tone towards the puppy angered Lin Yuqing. She slapped Xiao Mingyang's hand away and angrily warned, "Xiao Mingyang!"

Sensing the anger in Lin Yuqing's voice, Xiao Mingyang dared not joke anymore. He quickly sat up straight and said, "My dear wife is right. This is indeed not like Xiao Jincheng's style. But what can I do? He needs my help now. He has to do something to convince me!"

Resting her chin on her hand, Lin Yuqing said, "You mean, Xiao Jincheng did all this to get you back to work at the company?"

“That’s right. The Xiao Group is not what it used to be. Xiao Jincheng hopes to use this opportunity to let me do some public relations to consolidate the Xiao Group’s image. You know, when I claimed to be ill, many people laughed at me. Now, it’s the best choice for me to step forward and dispel all the rumors. Moreover, in the entire Xiao Group, do you think there is anyone more suitable than me to turn the tide?”

Xiao Mingyang's "I'm the most handsome man in the world" expression made Lin Yuqing laugh repeatedly, but her eyes were full of love.

Lin Yuqing knew her own man well. She knew that Xiao Mingyang wasn't the type to show off. He was just trying to make her happy.

Seeing Lin Yuqing's smile, Xiao Mingyang kissed her forehead with satisfaction and said, "I haven't seen you smile so happily for so many days. I really miss it!"

Playfully punching Xiao Mingyang, Lin Yuqing feigned anger and asked, "Please, I smile at you every day, haven't you noticed?"
