Chapter 59: Lin Qin’s Background
Outside the window, the morning light spilled down, and the clear, ethereal birdsong awakened a new day.
ng Chao reached out to wipe away the tear that had rolled down Lin Qin’s eye. Seeing Lin Qin sleeping peacefully in his arms, he wanted to hold Lin Qin even tighter, but was afraid that his movents would wake him.
In the end, he couldn’t resist lowering his head to gently kiss Lin Qin’s face.
"Sleep. When you wake up, everything will be new." ng Chao said softly.
It was as though Lin Qin had heard him. He nuzzled ng Chao’s chest, found a comfortable position, and wore an expression full of peace.
Yet, ng Chao’s heart still felt as though it were tightly clenched, hurting deeply.
Whenever he thought about the despair Lin Qin had once endured, he itched to travel back in ti and shield Lin Qin fiercely by his side.
He couldn’t even imagine—if Lin Qin had truly compromised to despair on that day, would he still have the chance to see Lin Qin today?
Unable to suppress the storm of emotions within him, ng Chao wrapped Lin Qin tightly in his arms. Their bare skin pressed against each other, and only in this way could ng Chao feel a sense of security.
Because of ng Chao’s movent, Lin Qin gradually stirred awake. He yawned and mumbled, "What’s wrong?"
ng Chao shook his head. "Nothing. Go back to sleep."
Exhausted from the events of the previous night and from chatting with ng Chao until four in the morning, Lin Qin was too tired to argue. He leaned up to kiss ng Chao’s chin and then closed his eyes again, quickly drifting back into dreamland.
This ti, his dreams were no longer filled with the darkness of the past but were sweet and vividly tinged with hues of fantasy.
An hour later, a car stopped on the mountain road. A middle-aged man stepped out, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, his appearance strikingly handso.
This face was familiar to those in the entertainnt industry—Lin Chengdu, the head of Lin Group and the boss of Chutian Entertainnt.
When the director heard Lin Chengdu had arrived, he couldn’t help but wonder why such a high-profile boss had co to their humble program crew. Nonetheless, he greeted him warmly.
"Mr. Lin, what brings you here?"
Lin Chengdu chuckled amiably. "Don’t mind . Keep doing your thing. I’m here to bring my son ho."
His son? The director silently mulled over this: how co he didn’t know Lin Chengdu’s son was part of their program crew?
Just then, Chu Hong walked out. Upon spotting Lin Chengdu, she exclaid in astonishnt, "Uncle, what are you doing here?"
"Is Qin finishing recording today? I’m here to bring him ho," Lin Chengdu said, peeking into the villa. "Where’s Qin? He should be awake by now, shouldn’t he?"
For a mont, the director and staff hadn’t yet put together who Lin Chengdu’s "Qin" referred to. But considering his surna and Chu Hong’s form of address, the answer beca obvious—Lin Qin!
Lin Qin was actually the Crown Prince of Chutian Entertainnt, the heir of Lin Group!
This background was imnse—how had no one in the industry known? Lin Qin had truly kept such a low profile.
While others were still processing their shock over Lin Qin’s identity, Chu Hong stepped forward to relay the events of the previous night to Lin Chengdu. "He likely got scared last night. He’s still resting now."
Lin Chengdu’s face imdiately darkened, his expression fierce and trembling with rage. "Where’s that bastard Fang Minghui? I swear I’m going to destroy him!"
"He’s at the hospital," Chu Hong replied, unfazed. "He got beaten up by ng last night."
"Good!"
A bright female voice suddenly echoed from the bamboo grove, storming in with anger.
The crowd’s gaze shifted to the source—a familiar face. It was Chu Ge, the Asia-Pacific CEO of an international luxury brand.
"Auntie, what are you doing here too?" Chu Hong was once again taken aback.
"What do you think? I’ve co to fetch Qin back ho," Chu Ge said.
The director and staff, now just passive onlookers, couldn’t help but fall into speechless amazent. Lin Qin’s parents were such prominent figures. His background was unmatched in the entertainnt industry.
Let’s not forget the towering figure behind the Chu Family, who occupied the top seat of power.
And paired with ng Chao’s ng Family...
The group couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity for Fang Minghui. Still, he had brought all this upon himself; there was no one else to bla.
...
About ten minutes later, ng Chao ca downstairs. Seeing Chu Ge and Lin Chengdu, he showed no surprise, and instead calmly joined them on the couch, engaging in so kind of discussion.
Chu Hong observed from afar, inexplicably feeling a chill down her spine. It was as if these three powerful figures coming together ant trouble brewing.
"Cousin, what’s wrong?"
Lin Qin descended the stairs and saw Chu Hong standing by the staircase, glancing toward the living room. He stopped behind her and asked.
Chu Hong turned around. "You’re up. How are you feeling?"
Chu Hong’s concern was purely for Lin Qin’s ntal state. But, due to a guilty conscience, soone automatically took her concern to an sothing else. Lin Qin’s face turned bright red, and he stamred, "I... I’m fine. I’m really fine."
Realizing Lin Qin had misunderstood her, Chu Hong grinned knowingly and teased, "Cousin, you finally got what you wanted. I wish you and ng the best of happiness for a lifeti."
Lin Qin blushed even more, nodding shyly. "Thank you, Cousin."
The three in the living room paused their discussion after hearing the commotion and called Lin Qin over.
Seeing his parents present, Lin Qin was a bit surprised. "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
"To take you ho," Chu Ge and Lin Chengdu said simultaneously, their deanor tentative.
Guilt filled them. They had spent years blaming each other, but eventually realized their shared responsibility. If only they had set aside work and pride back then to show Lin Qin more care, none of this would have happened.
By the ti they understood, it was already too late.
Although Lin Qin had not overtly blad them all these years, he had also kept them at arm’s length.
"Lin Qin will leave with ," ng Chao stood up and addressed his future in-laws graciously.
All eyes in the living room instantly turned toward ng Chao.
ng Chao walked over to Lin Qin, took his hand, and said, "Next month, Lin Qin and I will start filming. We have scenes together, and I want to take the next few days to rehearse our lines."
The reason was dignified yet carried an undeniable note of territorial dominance.
Though ng Chao refrained from directly accusing Chu Ge and Lin Chengdu of anything, he took satisfaction in unsettling them.
Chu Ge and Lin Chengdu turned to Lin Qin with a look that blatantly said, "Darling, are you really choosing this man over your parents?"
"I’ll go with ng Chao," Lin Qin replied. He genuinely wanted to rehearse scenes with ng Chao—he’d long been eager to witness ng Chao’s acting prowess up close.
Chu Hong looked on sympathetically at her aunt and uncle, almost hearing the sound of shattering glass hearts.
