Chapter 135: Chapter 135 You Have Fallen for Him

"Tong, what a coincidence, I was just about to go in and wait for you."

Lin Qian saw Fang Tong and smiled with curved eyes and eyebrows.

"Mm, that’s what they call telepathy."

Fang Tong locked the car door, her sexy red lips slightly curved, and she bent her arm halfway, "Let’s go."

"Okay."

Lin Qian laughed and linked arms with Fang Tong, and together they entered the mall.

This was another famous large-scale shopping center in Su City, Bailian Mall, which also took a high-end route in its operations, competing with Huatian Department Store.

Lin Qian took the opportunity of shopping to also see how the business of the luxury brand counters was doing here.

"Little Qian, where shall we start shopping?"

Fang Tong stepped onto the escalator with Lin Qian and asked.

Lin Qian thought for a moment, "Are you in a hurry? If not, shall we start with the luxury shops?"

"I’m not in a hurry at all! I had my agent clear my schedule for today last night—I planned to have a good chat with you."

Fang Tong tilted her head to look at Lin Qian, her beautiful almond eyes twinkled with countless stars.

Such a look gave Lin Qian goosebumps for no reason; she felt that a certain young lady wanted to hear gossip from her.

"Tong, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because you’re pretty!"

"Ha! Speaking of pretty, if you aren’t number one, no one would dare claim to be number two."

"Haha, cut the business flattery; come on, confess, how did you meet Yin Moran?"

Lin Qian, "..."

She knew it—someone agreed to go shopping just to hear her gossip!

Lin Qian laughed, "Tong, why are you so nosy?"

"Mm, since we’re friends, quickly offer up the whole story about how you and Yin Moran met."

"Alright, I’ll tell."

She hadn’t planned on keeping it a secret anyway.

Plus, when feeling less than cheerful, it was quite nice to have someone to confide in.

Lin Qian straightened the hair beside her ear and began, "My acquaintance with Yin Moran started because of his daughter, Candy..."

As the elevator went up, Lin Qian briefly recounted the process of how she met Yin Moran.

Fang Tong listened attentively, her almond eyes shining brightly.

"So, it was Yin Moran’s daughter who played matchmaker and built the bridge for you two? Not bad, the little one has quite the eye."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qian playfully glared at her, "Tong, I talked for so long, and that’s your conclusion? Yin Moran and I aren’t compatible. Although Candy likes me, we can only be ordinary friends."

"Ha, many men and women end up together by starting off as ordinary friends."

Fang Tong teased with a smile, Lin Qian shook her head, "That’s other people, not including him and me. Our status and positions are worlds apart, and besides..."

Lin Qian paused, "In short, it’s impossible for him and me to be together."

There were external as well as internal reasons.

Thinking of some matters, Lin Qian’s mood dropped.

Fang Tong glanced at Lin Qian thoughtfully, "Little Qian, be honest, do you actually have feelings for Yin Moran?"

Have feelings for him?

Lin Qian was startled and uneasily fiddled with her hair, stubbornly retorting, "No! I just see him as a lifesaver who has helped me several times."

"Tsk, look at you, all shy when talking about him—you think you can still fool anyone?"

Fang Tong bluntly exposed Lin Qian’s little secret, her beautiful almond eyes rolling, "And what about him? You said he keeps hinting for you to be Candy’s mom, so you’re actually not sure whether he might have feelings for you, right?"

Does he like her?

He probably didn’t like her, did he?

He had asked her to be Candy’s mother simply for his daughter’s sake, and it had nothing to do with romance.

Lin Qian pursed her red lips, let out a light chuckle, "He doesn’t like me; he has a woman he likes."

That woman who appeared in his dreams, the one he mentioned must be the woman he loved most.

"Hmm? Yin Moran has a woman he likes? Don’t tell me it’s Qiao Xiya."

Fang Tong blinked her beautiful eyes and turned her head to look at Lin Qian.

"It’s not."

Lin Qian paused and then said, "The person he likes is Qiao Xixian, Qiao Xiya’s sister."

Qiao Xiya’s sister, Qiao Xixian?

Fang Tong was startled, her face full of surprise, "Really? But then why is there always a rumor that Yin Moran is a couple with Qiao Xiya?"

"Because Qiao Xiya’s sister is already dead, and Yin Moran might just love by association, I guess."

Lin Qian replied indifferently, feeling like the air in the department store was thin, making her chest feel stuffy.

Fang Tong was taken aback, her beautiful eyes spun, and she suddenly made sense of many key points.

Qiao Xiya was a well-known vase in the circle.

Not only was her acting mediocre, but she also liked to throw her weight around.

Yet, she managed to establish herself firmly in the entertainment industry, and the title of the top actress rang loud and clear.

Because she had Yin Moran as her powerful support.

Everyone thought that the person Yin Moran liked was her, not knowing that the person he actually cared for was Qiao Xiya’s sister.

And since Qiao Xiya’s sister had died, Yin Moran provided for Qiao Xiya lovingly by association, becoming her powerful support behind the scenes, providing her with top-notch resources, and making her an international superstar.

What good fortune for Qiao Xiya!

Fang Tong’s almond eyes sparkled as she glanced at Lin Qian’s slightly sad face and pinched her hand, "It seems that Yin Moran is really a loyal and righteous man. Over all these years, other than rumors with Qiao Xiya, there hasn’t been a single female mosquito around him. Lin Qian, the love in wealthy families is often indifferent, but if it’s as you said, and he has been chaste for a woman who has died for so many years, then he must be a good man. Lin Qian, you must seize the opportunity."

Seize the opportunity?

But he didn’t love her!

Lin Qian tugged at the corner of her mouth and shook her head, "Tong, I’ve said it before, our identities and statuses don’t match."

"Ah, what’s the use of thinking about all these impractical things?"

Fang Tong continued to persuade enthusiastically, "As you said, it was Yin Moran who suggested that you be Candy’s mommy, so obviously, he has plans. Little Qian, who is Yin Moran? A shrewd and genius businessman, I believe he doesn’t do things he’s unsure of. As long as he wants something, there’s nothing he can’t accomplish. So, you don’t need to belittle yourself, and there’s no need to worry, just follow in his footsteps."

That may be true, but...

Lin Qian pursed her lips, "But Yin Moran does not love me! Although I’m already a mother, I still long for a beautiful relationship. If I were to marry someone who doesn’t love me, I’d rather remain single."

He had always just hinted; her pride wouldn’t allow her to become someone’s wife so thoughtlessly.

"Oh, Little Qian, I understand now. You’re not really upset that he’s always been in love with a deceased woman, but that he’s never confessed his feelings to you, right?"

Was that it?

She didn’t know either!

Lin Qian felt as if her mind was a tangle of paste, getting messier the more they talked.

The two had reached the luxury boutique, and Lin Qian said, "Alright, let’s not talk about this topic for now, let’s go in and see if there’s anything good."

"Clicking your tongue and changing the subject abruptly, Little Qian, what kind of gift are you looking for?"

"Cough, what should I pick for a life-saving benefactor?"

"Life-saving benefactor? Little Qian, are you choosing a gift for Yin Moran?"

"..."

The two were joking and about to enter a luxury boutique when they heard footsteps from the direct elevator.

Lin Qian glanced up unintentionally and saw a group of people quickly walking this way.

And the enchanting woman in the middle, wearing sunglasses, was none other than Qiao Xiya.
