"What’s the matter? Speak up or I’m hanging up."
Li’s words were unheard, and Moran’s impatient voice ca through.
"Don’t hang up."
Without having ti to think, Li blurted out, "Old Yin, guess who I just saw? It’s that scheming Chu Yelin again. He used work as an excuse to have Lin Qian accompany him to the small commodity market and even gave her little trinkets. But, I found an excuse to throw them away. Old Yin, you’ve got quite a number of rivals. Just when Su Yu’an was starting to behave, now cos Chu Yelin. Tell , shouldn’t you hurry up and marry her?"
After Li finished speaking, he waited for Moran’s reaction.
However, there was no sound in the current.
Two seconds later, the line went dead with a beep-beep-beep.
Li: "..."
Hey!
Seriously, he hung up without saying a word?
There’s definitely sothing going on!
Li squinted, staring thoughtfully at the disconnected phone.
"Li, what did my brother say?" Qinglan asked from the side.
"Hah! The brooding guy didn’t say a word and just hung up."
Li said mockingly, "I bet he’s having another disagreent with Lin Qian!"
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed so silent.
"Another disagreent with Lin Qian? Why? Is it because of Xiya?"
Qinglan furrowed her brows thoughtfully.
"Hah! I don’t think so!"
Li’s dark eyes twinkled as he wrapped an arm around Qinglan’s shoulder, "Hey, Qinglan, looks like tonight we’ll need to play the roles of good sister and good brother-in-law again. We have to help your brother and Lin Qian sort things out!"
Qinglan was about to nod but then felt sothing was off.
Upon reflection, she suddenly frowned and yanked his muscular arm off her shoulder.
"What brother-in-law? Don’t rush to assign yourself that role."
"Ha! Qinglan, isn’t my role as Old Yin’s brother-in-law fixed if he’s going to be my future brother-in-law? If not , who else would you marry?"
Li hooked Qinglan’s waist and flashed her a roguish smile.
"Let go, Li, we’re in the street!"
"Alright, alright, I get it! Girls are shy, and you don’t wanna agree in public, right? Does that an you’ll agree to marry when we’re sowhere private?"
"Li!"
"...."
Lin Qian exited the departnt store and was about to hail a cab back.
Yelin quickly caught up and grabbed her.
"Lin Qian, I drove here."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qian quickly shook his hand off and stepped back.
"President Chu, there are a few things I think I need to make clear."
She didn’t want to guess his intentions, but she felt it necessary to clarify her thoughts.
Lin Qian gathered her thoughts, "President Chu, as you know, I am dating Moran. He’s a bit domineering and a little jealous. He doesn’t like being too close to other n, and I don’t want to cause any misunderstandings, so please, forgive and maintain so distance in the future to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
She hinted at this, believing he would understand.
Yelin looked at Lin Qian’s distant deanor, his jaw tightened, his expression slightly darkened.
"Lin Qian, don’t you have any self-respect? He’s interfering with your normal social interactions, and you’re willing to ekly accept that?"
Hearing this, Lin Qian pursed her lips, "President Chu, this isn’t about lacking self-respect; it’s about respect. My boyfriend has helped a lot; I appreciate and trust him, so I will consider his requests. If it’s not a matter of principle, I will accept his suggestions. President Chu, our relationship is strictly professional, and we should keep it appropriately distanced."
Even without Moran, she would have said the sa.
She didn’t want their relationship to be ambiguously unclear.
A leader is a leader, soone she should treat with respect.
After finishing her words, Lin Qian offered Yelin a distant smile, hailed a cab, and left.
Yelin stood by the roadside, watching the car disappear, his handso face clouded with gloom.
After a mont, he suddenly smiled.
Thinking of severing ties with him?
He wanted to see if she could really sever ties with him!
In the afternoon, Lin Qian was busy as usual.
She didn’t see Chu Yelin at the store and didn’t know if he was angry.
But this was not within her considerations.
She had said what needed to be said and believed Chu Yelin would understand the extent.
In the evening, Lin Qian went to pick up her son.
She took a taxi to the kindergarten and got out of the car, looking around.
She felt a faint sense of anticipation, hoping to see Yin Moran.
However, until Chu Ziyang ran out from the kindergarten, Yin Moran hadn’t appeared.
Candy hadn’t appeared either.
Lin Qian was sowhat distracted and asked Chu Ziyang, "Baby, why hasn’t Candy co out yet?"
"Candy was absent from kindergarten today because of so issues."
Chu Ziyang looked up at Lin Qian, opened his mouth to speak, then stopped.
He had asked the teacher, and the teacher said that Candy was feeling unwell today, so she took leave to rest at ho.
That adorable little sister, not seeing her clinging at his side and calling him Zirui, suddenly made him feel unaccustod.
Worried about her health, he really wanted his mommy to call and ask about her condition to see if she was feeling any better.
But rembering she was Mr. Yin’s daughter, he suppressed the thought of having his mommy call Mr. Yin.
Mommy and Mr. Yin were having a misunderstanding!
He didn’t want his mommy to have any contact with Mr. Yin because of this.
Hearing Chu Ziyang’s words, Lin Qian felt a slight sense of loss.
Not seeing the young one or the elder one, her heart inexplicably worried!
"Let’s go, let’s go ho."
"Okay, mommy..."
Chu Ziyang held Lin Qian’s hand, wanting to ask her why Chu Yelin hadn’t co with her to pick him up.
But rembering his mommy didn’t want him to ddle in love matters, he changed his words to, "I want to eat sothing delicious tonight."
He couldn’t be too deliberate, fearing that it might backfire with his mommy.
So his dad had to put in more effort!
"Alright, what would you like to eat?"
"Anything made by mommy, I like it all."
"..."
Night fell.
Lin Qian put Chu Ziyang to sleep and returned to her room, where her phone on the table suddenly rang.
Lin Qian walked over quickly, picked it up, and couldn’t help but blink.
It was a call from Yin Qinglan!
Why would she suddenly call her?
Lin Qian curved her lips and answered.
"Qinglan?"
"Yeah, Lin Qian, my studio is having its opening, and I’ve invited a bunch of friends to celebrate at ili. Co join the fun."
Yin Qinglan’s laughter ca through the phone, and Lin Qian was sowhat tangled, "To ili? But my son..."
"Don’t worry! The Yin Family’s bodyguards will be outside to watch him. Co over! The driver is already waiting downstairs for you."
Lin Qian: "..."
Was everything arranged for her?
Why did she feel like she was being pushed into this?
