Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!
Chapter 188 Are You Jealous?

Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Are You Jealous?

In the taxi, Lin Qian stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

She admitted that Qiao Xiya’s words had threatened her.

If it were only her, she could bear all the external pressure and danger.

But she couldn’t forget that she had a son.

Qiao Xiya’s fan base was enormous, and if someone really took it upon themselves to defend her honor and ended up crazily harming her son, she would go insane!

She couldn’t let her own relationship with Yin Moran result in harm coming to her beloved son!

So, what should she do?

Lin Qian’s red lips were tightly pursed, her eyes and brows full of inescapable worries.

"Manager Lin, your phone has been ringing for a long time."

A colleague accompanying her reminded Lin Qian.

Lin Qian came back to her senses, smiled gratefully at her, and took her phone out of her bag to check the caller ID, her grip tightening.

It was Yin Moran who had called.

She didn’t know what to say.

Lin Qian didn’t answer the call, letting the ringtone cut off.

At that moment, she was very annoyed.

She needed some peace first!

On the other end of the phone, Yin Moran sat in the car, staring at his darkened phone screen, his features slightly grim.

Not answering his call?

What was going on?

The sight of her turning around and walking away flashed through his mind.

Angry, aggrieved, resentful...

Was she displacing her anger?

Or was she jealous?

Because he had helped Qiao Xiya up in front of her?

Or did she think he hadn’t immediately demanded an explanation from Qiao Xiya on her behalf?

Was she concerned about how he expressed himself?

Yin Moran’s handsome lips curved slightly, and his slender fingers typed a line of text.

"Why aren’t you answering the phone? Are you jealous?"

Jealous?

Jealous my foot!

Having reached her destination, Lin Qian looked at the line of text on her phone and pursed her lips.

"I’m not going to argue with you, I’m off to work."

She wasn’t jealous; she was worried.

Qiao Xiya was not a noble person.

She was set on becoming Mrs. Yin; who knew what tricks she might employ.

If one day she really harmed her child, what would Yin Moran’s attitude be then?

Rumors said Yin Moran was cold and ruthless, decisive in his actions, but in her eyes, he was a man of deep loyalties.

He had kept Qiao Xixian deep in his heart, and Qiao Xiya was the sister of the woman he loved the most.

For so many years, his love for one had extended to the other, bestowing on Qiao Xiya immense favor and honor.

Would he punish the sister of the woman he loved most for this woman he had only recently met?

She wasn’t sure.

Really unsure!

Distressed and confused, Lin Qian put her phone back in her pocket, supported by a colleague, and entered the store.

On the other end of the phone, Yin Moran looked at the message from Lin Qian, a hint of amusement flickering in his dark eyes.

Was it really his nonsense?

A woman whose actions contradicted her words.

As he was about to send another message, the phone suddenly rang.

Yin Moran resumed his usual cold demeanor and answered the call.

"What?"

"Mr. Yin, I wanted to report to you that Mr. Smith is very angry because of your unexplained absence and is already on his way to the airport, preparing to return to his country. What do you suggest..."

On the phone, Han Chen’s tentative words came through, and Yin Moran knew that Han Chen wanted him to make another attempt if he had time.

After all, they had been vying for this overseas order for three months, and it would be a pity to give up now.

Yin Moran’s slender fingers habitually tapped on the steering wheel, and after a brief contemplation, he said, "Alright, try to stall him a bit, I’ll come over immediately."

"Okay. Then Mr. Yin, is there any problem with Miss Lin?"

"No problems. Find me the information on the few people who caused trouble at her store today."

The little woman and her body seemed to be alright.

What he now needed to do was to make an example out of some, to prevent that group of fans from taking any actions detrimental to Lin Qian.

"Alright, Mr. Yin."

Yin Moran hung up the phone, put it aside, and his lips curled up slightly.

He was not inactive.

He would stand up for her where necessary.

MXL counter.

Lin Qian entered the door, and an employee ran up to her.

"Manager Lin, the district manager is here, waiting for you in the office, with Vice Store Manager Chen accompanying her."

Du Qian arrived so quickly?

Was she waiting for her resignation letter?

Lin Qian sighed inwardly, nodded, and slowly walked toward the office area.

As she reached the door, just about to knock, she heard Du Qian’s voice from inside.

"This Lin Qian, without any real skills, is quite good at stirring up trouble. Our MXL counter has suffered damage to its reputation due to her arrival, and many outsiders view your female staff with prejudiced eyes. Someone from headquarters will be coming soon, and if she refuses to leave, Chen Fei, you must tell President Chu everything exactly as it is, so President Chu can fire her personally. Once Lin Qian leaves, I will recommend you for the store manager position to headquarters."

That was Du Qian’s voice.

She really couldn’t wait to see her leave.

"Manager Lin, why are you standing outside?"

An employee passing by saw Lin Qian standing still outside and couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Qian smiled, "I’m going in now."

Not hearing Chen Fei’s reply, Lin Qian pursed her lips and pushed the door open.

Inside, in the small office, one person was standing, and one was sitting.

The one sitting was none other than Du Qian, the district manager responsible for Su City.

Her hair was put up high, and her face was made up neatly.

She looked decent enough, but her slightly high cheekbones and drooping eyes conveyed a sense of meanness and opportunism.

She wore an apricot-colored suit jacket with a white shirt inside, dressed very professionally.

Lin Qian was seeing Du Qian in person for the first time; she closed the door and walked forward calmly.

"Manager Lin, you’re back? Is your foot alright?"

Chen Fei saw Lin Qian, a flicker of discomfort crossing her face.

Lin Qian glanced at her and curved her lips, "It’s fine."

"That’s good. Well... you guys talk, I’m going back to work."

Chen Fei nodded slightly towards Du Qian, smiled at Lin Qian, and turned to leave.

Leaving only Du Qian and Lin Qian in the room.

Lin Qian looked at Du Qian, just to hear her say, "Lin Qian, where’s your resignation letter?"

Resignation letter?

She hadn’t done anything wrong, so why should she leave?

"Manager Du, I haven’t done anything wrong, you have no right to fire me."

"You haven’t done anything wrong? Lin Qian, it’s because of people like you that our luxury counter salespeople are constantly being insulted as vixens. You’ve damaged our company’s reputation, how do you still have the nerve to continue working here?"

Du Qian mocked Lin Qian coldly, her eyes full of contempt.

Lin Qian’s lips tightened slightly as she calmly responded, "Manager Du, to the benevolent, the world is benevolent, and to the wise, the world is wise. A righteous person fears no crooked shadows. I earn my money through my skills and believe I haven’t caused any harm to the company’s interests. In fact, in less than two months since I arrived in Su City, the performance has already doubled compared to previous years, so I see no reason to feel embarrassed about continuing my work."

Regardless of the public opinion, work was work.

The company valued performance, and the public opinion had not caused any damage to the company’s interests.

That was enough.

"You..."

Seeing that Lin Qian was not intimidated by her, Du Qian suddenly stood up, her high heels clicking as she walked up to Lin Qian and glared at her.

"Lin Qian, I am your superior, and I think you lack the ability to manage the store and are not suitable as the manager of this shop. I’m giving you two options, either step down from the manager position and become an ordinary salesperson, or resign and leave this place."
