The Favored Heiress-Chapter 1293: The Twins Take After Their Dad
This year’s National Day, Tang Yiting left the South Sea alone.
Li Qiao stood in the departure hall, watching her back, feeling a mix of indescribable emotions.
After Tang Yiting left, Luoyu emerged from the crowd, "Madam, over there at the Tang family..."
"What about it?"
Luoyu nodded, calmly explaining, "There’s news that the internal strife in the Tang family was orchestrated by Patriarch Tang Nanli."
Li Qiao turned around expressionlessly, pacing as she spoke, "Hmm, eliminating dissidents."
"So Miss Tang leaving the South Sea is being excluded from the family?"
"Not necessarily." Li Qiao walked out of the hall, looked up and said, "Her fund was frozen by Uncle Tang at his request, for protection."
...
Half an hour later, at the mansion.
Li Qiao got out of the car and walked into the living room, just as she took off her coat, she saw Shang Yu coming down from upstairs holding their daughter.
Their eyes met, and the man opened his palm towards her, "Sent off?"
"Yes." As Li Qiao stepped forward, she lowered her head to touch Shang Qi’s soft cheek, "Tangtang went to Li City, Qin Si’s territory."
Shang Yu embraced their daughter with one arm and wrapped the other around Li Qiao’s shoulders, "Do you need me to say hello to Qin Si?"
Li Qiao raised her eyebrows playfully, "If it’s convenient."
The man smiled, then handed Shang Qi to Li Qiao and took out his phone to call Qin Baiyu.
Li Qiao sat down holding her daughter, and from the corner of her eye, she saw the little one was already awake, her shiny eyes blinking at her.
Curiously, aside from Shang Yin inheriting Li Qiao’s doe eyes, Shang Qi and Shang Yao’s eyes both inherited from Shang Yu.
Also, daughter Shang Qi had a small black mole at the corner of her left eye.
...
On the last day of the National Day holiday, after feeding the two little ones, Li Qiao planned to pick up Shang Yin from He Chen’s home.
Downstairs, Gu Chenn was nervously pacing back and forth in the living room, rubbing his hands.
Hearing footsteps at the staircase, he looked back hurriedly, hesitating to speak.
Li Qiao glanced around indifferently, "Luoyu is not here?"
"I’m looking for you."
"What is it?"
Gu Chenn scratched his head and coughed lightly twice, "I... want to ask you for a favor."
You?
It seems to be something important, otherwise, he wouldn’t use formal language.
Li Qiao suppressed a smile, picked up a snow pear from the table and took a bite, "Let’s hear it."
Gu Chenn seemed conflicted, as if he had some unspeakable secret.
After some hesitating, he straightened his chest and spoke quickly, "Can you help me move all of Aida State’s assets back to the country?"
Li Qiao paused, "All of it?"
"Yes, I want to move all of Qianmu Group back here."
"Reason?"
Gu Chenn pursed his cheek and stumbled for words. "There’s no particular reason, I just like the environment here and want to develop in a different place."
Li Qiao said nothing, but scrutinized Gu Chenn, finding it amusing.
What’s been going on lately, why does everyone want to relocate for development?
Li Qiao asked him, "Where do you want to move?"
"South Sea." Gu Chenn answered straightforwardly, then added with grand sincerity, "I really like South Sea, and... I get to play with your little crown prince every day, I can’t bear to leave."
Li Qiao paused for two seconds, "What did Bai Yan say?"
"You tell him."
Li Qiao’s face instantly turned emotionless.
Seeing this, Gu Chenn, afraid she wouldn’t agree, clenched his teeth and spoke without thinking, "Anyway, I don’t care, wherever you are, I’ll be there, don’t even think about driving me away."
Behind him were steady, strong footsteps.
Gu Chenn instinctively looked back, first meeting the deep eyes of the Godfather of Black Hawk, then seeing Luoyu approaching with a stern face leading the White Tiger.
At this moment, Gu Chenn felt like he was about to become the White Tiger’s meal.
He hurriedly headed towards Luoyu and started speaking, "No, Yingzi, listen to me..."
At this moment, Shang Yu sat down, stretched out his arm to encircle the nearby Li Qiao, "What were you discussing?"
"Didn’t you hear?" Li Qiao continued eating the pear, murmuring, "He wants to marry into the family."
The spacious living room instantly fell silent.
Gu Chenn stared at Li Qiao, dumbfounded, "Don’t talk nonsense, when did I ever..."
"If you don’t marry in, there’s no place for you in the mansion." Li Qiao flicked the fruit core into the trash, "Don’t believe me? Ask Luoyu."
Luoyu released the leash of the White Tiger and turned to leave.
This was a question she couldn’t answer.
Gu Chenn then watched her back, then looked at Li Qiao, testing in a low voice, "If I marry in... will you help me?"
"It can be discussed."
Gu Chenn ran off, planning to find Luoyu to thoroughly discuss the specifics of marrying in!
...
At the end of the year, Christmas was approaching.
Shang Qi, almost five months old, had practically grown up in Shang Yu’s arms.
All three of Shang’s children shared a common trait: they didn’t cry much, but loved to act cute.
Whether it was Shang Yao or Shang Qi, the two toddlers rarely cried unless they were hungry.
What particularly pleased Li Qiao was that this pair of twins were very clingy to her.
Even though Shang Qi was raised in the pampering of Shang Yu, every time she saw her mom, she would kick her little legs and crawl towards her, or coo to be held.
This day, Christmas Eve.
Li Qiao was pondering the idea of returning to the lab and getting back to work.
Ever since she was pregnant with the twins, all her work had come to a complete halt.
Including Shang Yu, it was only recently that he showed up again at Yan Emperor.
Li Qiao’s intention to resume work was to continue studying Shang Lu’s illness.
"Ah... goo goo..."
Suddenly, a soft call came from behind at an angle.
Li Qiao turned around and saw Shang Qi in Shang Yu’s arms, reaching out to her.
Her daughter was five months old, her chubby cheeks had grown quite a bit.
Her eyes resembled Shang Yu’s, but the rest of her features were almost a replica of Li Qiao’s.
The little cutie was especially soft and lovable, exuding a milky fragrance that melted one’s heart.
Li Qiao reached out and took Shang Qi, looking up at the man, "Where’s Shang Yao?"
"Upstairs." Shang Yu sat down heavily, wiping the drool from his daughter’s mouth, "The old master is coming tomorrow."
Li Qiao was slightly surprised, then understood and glanced at Shang Qi, "To see them?"
"In passing." The man, holding his daughter’s soft, boneless hand, explained in a magnetic voice, "Someone asked him to help with an illness, he’s just passing through South Sea."
Li Qiao nodded, looking at Shang Qi’s clear and bright eyes, "This year, let’s go back to Parma for the New Year." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Shang Yu raised his thick eyebrows, "Not planning to stay in the South Sea?"
"There are many in the Li family, both elder and second brothers are home." Li Qiao bent her fingers to caress her daughter’s tender cheeks, "In the old house, it’s just dad alone, bringing these three back for a lively time would be nice."
The man’s Adam’s apple moved, his palm landing gently on Li Qiao’s shoulder as he rubbed it a couple of times, "Alright, then let’s go back."
Li Qiao looked at him and couldn’t help but smile warmly.
These years, Shang Zonghai had not remarried, living alone in the old mansion with a house full of servants, he must feel lonely.
