Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!
Chapter 157 Birthday Banquet (Part 1)

Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Birthday Banquet (Part 1)

In the grand hotel lobby, as soon as Yin Moran entered with Lin Qian and their two children, the crowd instantly quieted down.

All eyes turned to the family, surprise clearly written on their faces.

Then, the whispering started non-stop.

"That’s Mr. Yin, right? Can someone tell me who the woman with him is?"

"Look at the four of them, dressed in matching family outfits. Doesn’t that say it all?"

"Could it be, Mr. Yin got married in secret? And the son’s already so big?"

"I haven’t heard anything!"

"Come on, let’s go ask Mr. Li."

"...."

Many guests who were on good terms with Nangong Li crowded towards him.

Nangong Li raised his eyebrows, looking uninvolved and calm, leading the person beside him towards the resting room. He could only inwardly grumble while being swamped by a throng of gossipers.

In the resting room, Old Madam Yin and Mr. Yin, dressed in red, were sitting on the sofa having tea.

The door was pushed open, and Yin Moran walked in with Lin Qian and the others.

The four of them, dressed in striking red outfits, stood in a line like a dazzling landscape, extremely pleasing to the eye.

Old Madam Yin’s eyes lit up, her face full of smiles as she looked at the four people before her eyes, her glance constantly roving over Lin Qian and Chu Ziyang.

Was this Lin Qian and her son?

Lin Qian looked even more delicate and refined in person than in the videos.

And Lin Qian’s son...

"Great grandma, great grandpa, Candy wishes you fortunes as vast as the East Sea, and life as long as the Southern Mountains."

Candy was the first to let go of Lin Qian’s hand, trotting over to Old Madam Yin and speaking congratulations with a beaming smile.

"Good, good, Candy is so good. Here, take your red envelope for luck."

Old Madam Yin’s eyes crinkled with laughter, taking a large red packet from the butler and handing it to Candy.

"Hee hee, thank you great grandma."

Candy giggled, then turned to look at Lin Qian and Chu Ziyang.

"Great grandma, look, daddy and I have brought mommy and Zirui here. Mommy, Zirui, come over here, these are my loving great grandpa and great grandma."

Upon hearing Candy’s introduction, Lin Qian, who was already nervous, became even more so.

Anyone making their first appearance before their rumored boyfriend’s family in such a manner wouldn’t be too calm.

Her hand suddenly felt warm, comforted by the dry heat of the man’s large hand.

Lin Qian glanced sideways, meeting Yin Moran’s soothing gaze.

Her heart gradually calmed, and Lin Qian curved her lips into a smile, leading Chu Ziyang with light steps towards the elders.

"Sir Yin, Old Madam Yin, good evening. I’m Lin Qian, and this is Zirui, we’ve come to wish you a long life. Zirui..."

Chu Ziyang was a bit stiff.

He had never been part of such a bustling scene.

The two distinguished seniors in the main seats looked at him with eyes both kind and imposing, their gaze rather suggestive.

Especially the old lady, whose eyes were filled with surprise and inquiry.

What was she investigating?

He hadn’t given himself away, had he?

Chu Ziyang’s mind was whirling, but upon hearing Lin Qian’s words, he took out two sachets filled with lavender from the tote bag, stepping forward to present them to Old Madam Yin.

"Sir Yin, Old Madam Yin, these are lavender sachets hand-made by mommy. Mommy said, having two elders in the family is like having two treasures. She hopes you both can enjoy delicious food and sound sleep every day, living to a ripe old age, anchoring the Yin Family."

His childish voice carried a unique blessing.

The two elders exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with appreciation and smiles.

Yes!

At their age, what they wanted most was good health for themselves, to eat well and sleep soundly, wasn’t it?

This Lin Qian was very thoughtful, and the child was clever too!

"Haha, very good, you all are good children, and you’ve all been so considerate."

Old Madam Yin’s face bloomed with a smile, gesturing Lin Qian to come closer and handed two big red envelopes to Lin Qian and Chu Ziyang.

Lin Qian’s face was flush with embarrassment, "Old Madam Yin, the gift is rather modest; I hope you’ll forgive our simplicity."

She didn’t know what kind of gifts would be appropriate to give them, so in the end, she came up with this idea.

It seemed that the two elders were quite pleased.

"Don’t say such silly things. This gift is the most meaningful one I’ve received this year. Qianqian, you’ve put thought into it."

Old Madam Yin was very satisfied, looking at Lin Qian with a face full of approval.

Such a thoughtful child, well-mannered, a fine choice for a granddaughter-in-law.

Her own child...

Old Madam Yin’s gaze shifted to Chu Ziyang by her side.

Why did she have this feeling that the child was like her eldest grandson’s spitting image?

Look at that full forehead, the prominent nose bridge, those cool little facial contours, weren’t they identical to her eldest grandson’s when he was younger?

In a moment, she would have to ask her eldest grandson if there were any untold stories there!

"Grandpa, Grandma, the auspicious hour is almost upon us, and I think everyone has arrived, let’s go out."

Yin Moran had been watching the interaction between the two elders and Lin Qian and her son.

Although his grandfather’s expression was neither happy nor angry, he seemed to be neutral toward the arrival of Lin Qian and her son.

But it was evident that Old Madam Yin quite liked Lin Qian and her son.

That was enough!

The things he had to do, though indifferent to their attitudes, if he could get his family’s blessings, that would surely make Lin Qian happy.

His gaze swept over the delicate features of the woman by his side, and Yin Moran’s handsome face softened even more.

"Alright, let’s step out."

Old Madam Yin decided, preparing to stand up, and Lin Qian hurried to support her.

Such understanding once again drew praise from Old Madam Yin’s eyes.

At that moment, the door opened and two middle-aged women walked in, followed by Yin Qinglan.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Yin Moran’s dark eyes flickered, his handsome face betraying no emotion.

He stepped forward, "Mom, Auntie."

The newcomers were his mother and his aunt.

"Mhm."

Zhong Lifeng nodded at Yin Moran; her gaze moved past him, sweeping over Lin Qian and her son.

Her eyes, carrying a hint of unfriendliness, settled on Lin Qian’s face.

She greatly disapproved of Yin Moran bringing Lin Qian and her son today.

Because of them, her own sister had fallen ill, and Lin Qian should not have appeared before them.

Beside her, Zhong Liqing’s breathing became momentarily erratic upon seeing Lin Qian.

Her gaze fixed firmly on her, her hands unconsciously clenched tight, her face displaying suppressed emotions.

"Mom, don’t get worked up."

A flash of concern passed over Yin Qinglan’s gentle face as she quickly supported Zhong Liqing, softly and tenderly consoling her.

Although her mother’s depression had gradually improved with treatment,

one couldn’t be sure she wouldn’t relapse over something at a particular moment.

She hoped Lin Qian’s presence wouldn’t upset her today.

Zhong Liqing didn’t speak, only frowned and glanced at Yin Qinglan, her fingers pinching until they turned white.

Lin Qian, who was assisting Old Madam Yin, caught the look in Zhong Liqing’s eyes and her lips pursed slightly.

Images of their first uncomfortable encounter flashed through her mind.

Her heart tightened a bit.

Such unpleasantness, she hoped it wouldn’t happen again today.

Otherwise, she would feel extremely guilty.
