Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Cutting Off the Father-Daughter Relationship with Lin Qian

Mr. Yin was going to pay this sum of money for Lin Hai again?

Qianqian’s heart felt a tumult of emotions.

She grabbed him abruptly and resisted, "Yin Moran..."

The back of her hand warmed; it was Yin Moran’s large hand enveloping her small one.

His deep, dark eyes swept over to her, the corners of his lips curling into a slight arc, his handsome face radiating a calming certainty.

Qianqian ended up swallowing the words she hadn’t spoken, simply raising her eyes to look at him, hesitant to speak.

Upon hearing Yin Moran’s words, Lin Hai was already beside himself with excitement.

He rubbed his hands together, his face full of sycophancy, "Mr. Yin, about the money..."

"I’ll give you ten million, but..."

Yin Moran’s sensuous thin lips uttered a sentence that stunned everyone present.

Ten million?

Yin Moran had prepared ten million for Lin Hai?

Such a generous gesture!

After his shock wore off, Lin Hai’s face was filled with ecstatic joy, "Give... give me ten million? Mr. Yin, are you serious?"

He had only come for two million today, yet Yin Moran was offering him ten million!

The Yin Family was indeed wealthy and influential!

Yin Moran was evidently very generous with Lin Qian, and even took care of him, her father, in the process!

Lin Hai was thrilled and proud, but then heard Yin Moran continue: "I, Yin Moran, never speak loosely. When I say I’ll give you ten million, there are no false words. But..."

Yin Moran paused, taking out a cheque from his inner pocket, his eyes shifting with a dark undercurrent, "From today onwards, I want you to sever your father-daughter relationship with Lin Qian!"

Severing the father-daughter relationship!

So was this ten million a settlement?

Lin Hai’s smile on his face stiffened slightly as he looked at Yin Moran, his old eyes rolling around in thought, his mind quickly scheming.

Beside him, Lin Qian involuntarily tightened her grip on Yin Moran’s arm, her eyes flickering.

To sever the father-daughter relationship with Lin Hai, to have no more ties with him from this day forward!

This was a thought that occasionally flitted through her mind.

It wasn’t that she was heartless; it was that there had never been any parental affection between her and Lin Hai.

He never raised her, almost destroyed her life, and even sold her newborn child.

If it weren’t for the blood relation, she would have wanted to sue him.

So, could she really cut all ties with this man from today on?

But ten million...

Lin Qian’s emotions were incredibly complex.

A gentle squeeze came again from the man’s hand, Lin Qian looked up at his handsome profile, and his lips pursed lightly.

She knew he was comforting her.

And she, her heart was filled with apology, gratitude, embarrassment, and countless touches of emotion.

He was so good to her!

Just as Lin Qian’s emotions were in turmoil, she heard Lin Hai speak, "No, I don’t agree! Mr. Yin, Lin Qian is my daughter, I can’t sever our father-daughter relationship over a mere ten million."

He wouldn’t agree?

Lin Qian’s heart clenched, and she shifted her gaze to Lin Hai.

She certainly didn’t think that Lin Hai had any paternal affection for her.

If he was unwilling to sever the father-daughter relationship, there had to be other reasons.

Yin Moran remained impassive, except for a flicker of sharpness in his dark eyes.

"Lin Hai, I’m not here to negotiate with you. You should know, I have hundreds of ways to make you agree. Out of respect for the fact that Lin Qian’s blood carries something similar to yours, I’ll give you another chance. Name your price, how much will it take for you to sever the father-daughter relationship with Lin Qian?"

The man’s handsome face was cold and expressionless, his tone casual yet bearing the intimidating force of the king of beasts, sending shivers down one’s spine and daring no one to misbehave.

Lin Hai was on edge, aware that he was gambling.

His forehead was already covered with cold sweat as he swallowed hard and steeled his heart, slowly raising a finger.

"One billion? Deal."

Deal... Deal!

"*Cough cough cough*."

Lin Hai coughed violently, choking on his own swallowed saliva.

So readily agreed?

He regretted it!

He should have asked for more!

"Well..."

Lin Hai opened his mouth, met the fleeting glance from Yin Moran, and disgracefully switched the topic, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Yin. The money..."

One billion was enough for him to lavish himself in wine and pleasure.

It was best not to test this man’s patience further.

If he angered him, he might end up with nothing in the end.

Yin Moran filled in the numbers on the check and handed it over to Lin Hai.

"Lin Hai, remember, from today onwards, you are no longer Lin Qian’s father. If you come looking for her again, don’t blame me for not being polite!"

His deep and chilly voice echoed in the air; Lin Hai took the check, nodded, and bowed repeatedly before quickly leaving.

Without a glance at Lin Qian from beginning to end.

Lin Qian watched Lin Hai’s retreating back and opened her mouth, but ultimately she didn’t call out to him.

Was this the way she was cutting ties with him?

Perhaps... it was for the best!

She would rather owe Yin Moran a favor than have any further dealings with this father.

But one billion...

Lin Qian pursed her red lips and looked at the man’s incomparably handsome face, her emotions fluctuating.

His kindness... she might really have to repay it with her body!

Not far away, reporters recorded this scene, all marveling at Yin Moran’s grand gesture.

None of them noticed two people stepping out from the dark, quickly following the departing Lin Hai.

Zhao Wan and Gu Yan, who were still at the hotel entrance, also witnessed this scene.

For a moment, their faces were full of envy and jealousy.

"Lin Qian is so lucky! Yin Moran is actually willing to spend a billion to sever ties with that old gambler for her! What’s so good about her? Is someone like her going to enter high society now? How boring."

Zhao Wan stared at the couple standing close together in front, envious of Lin Qian’s good fortune.

Gu Yan watched Lin Qian’s profile silently, a strange curve formed on her lips.

It should be about time for something to happen inside!

In front, Yin Moran no longer cared about the departing Lin Hai. He wrapped his arm around Lin Qian with a gentle gesture and glanced over at Su Yu’an, giving him a slight nod, "Yu’an, thank you for protecting Qianqian."

The tall man held the petite woman in his embrace, looking perfectly matched.

To hold nothing too dear for the woman one loves required not only wealth but also courage.

Su Yu’an remained silent, merely curling up the corner of his lips with a touch of bitterness in his heart.

"Thanks are unnecessary; Qianqian is a good woman, I hope my cousin treats her well."

Besides wishing them well, what else could he do?

The woman he loved would probably no longer need his protection from now on, right?

"I will," Yin Moran said indifferently, his gaze dropping to the woman in his arms, a touch of softness flashing in his dark eyes.

He pulled her closer into his embrace and said softly, "Let’s go inside to eat."

The man’s tone was gentle, his grip strong and secure, conveying a reassuring sense of safety.

Lin Qian’s emotions tumbled, and she gave him a grateful smile, "Yin Moran, I..."

A shadow fell over her head, followed by the man’s alluring whisper close to her ear, "Calling me by my full name again? Qianqian, try a different way of addressing me!"

The intimate posture, the tempting voice, the pleasant scent...

Lin Qian felt her heart nearly burst from her chest, with ripples of emotion sweeping through her.

"Stand up straight first, then talk."

Could this man not make such intimate gestures in front of so many people?

"Not changing it? If you don’t, I’ll just kiss you in front of everyone!"

His warm breath teased her ear, heating Lin Qian’s face to a fierce blush, her limbs going weak.

She clutched at his shirtfront to maintain her composure.

"Cough, Moran, is that okay?"

Her voice was soft, her lovely face flushing with shyness, even her neck tinged with a rosy hue.

A glint of amusement shone in Yin Moran’s handsome dark eyes, finally letting her go as he led her inside.

At that moment, a commotion broke the intimate moment.

Everyone turned their attention to the large screen at the front of the hotel, all abuzz with excitement.

"Look, isn’t that Lin Qian on the screen?"

"Isn’t she with different men? Does she like to flit among men?"

"Tsk, why would Mr. Yin like such a promiscuous woman?"

"Well, Mr. Yin is a man after all."
