Chapter 201: Chapter 201 He Has Someone He Deeply Loves in His Heart

The night was thickening, and neon lights along the street flickered with colorful halos.

Lin Qian sat in the passenger seat, staring blankly at the street scene outside the window.

The carriage was silent.

Nangong Li drove, his gaze shifting toward Lin Qian, his slender, peach-shaped eyes twinkling slightly.

One after another, both in a bad mood.

It seemed that today he was not only the driver but also the consoler.

Nangong Li curled his lips slightly, turned on some light music in the car, and spoke, "Lin, you seem to be in a bad mood. Did you have a disagreement with Old Yin?"

Old Yin had lost his temper at someone at the dinner table and left the person behind when he walked away; he hoped she wouldn’t overthink it.

Lin Qian didn’t speak but just reached out to tidy the hair by her ear.

Nangong Li said with a smile, "Lin, Old Yin, you see, has always been somewhat aloof and assertive due to his family background and status, but he’s not a bad person—in fact, quite sentimental. So, I hope you can be more accommodating to him. As an observer, I can see that he likes you."

Yin Moran liked her?

Lin Qian’s hand curled slightly, her emotions beginning to surge.

Her beautiful almond eyes rested on the void in the distance as she spoke softly, "He likes me, but it’s not the love that comes naturally. He has someone he deeply loves in his heart, doesn’t he?"

Whether it was because of the incident at the dinner table or the conversation about ’like’, in any case, Nangong Li’s words touched her nerve, and she couldn’t help but blurt out.

Nangong Li was taken aback, gazing at Lin Qian thoughtfully.

They say women are sensitive creatures; had Lin Qian sensed something?

Or had that Chu Yelin been running his mouth behind their backs at the dinner table?

Rather than letting others gossip, he might as well tell her about the situation between Yin Moran and Qiao Xixian to prevent her from having wild thoughts.

With this in mind, Nangong Li began, "Lin, I’m not going to hide it from you. Old Yin did indeed have a girlfriend before. Her name was Qiao Xixian, the older sister of Qiao Xiya."

Here it came!

Was Nangong Li about to tell her about Yin Moran and Qiao Xixian?

Lin Qian sat up straight, pricked up her ears, and looked at Nangong Li.

"Old Yin and I were wild when we were young, fond of extreme sports, so we joined a global adventure club in our teens. It was there we met Qiao Xixian. She was a year older than Old Yin, very pretty, and lively and cheerful."

Nangong Li started recounting, "At first, we didn’t interact with her much. But during our freshman year, on a mountain-climbing trip, we encountered a once-in-a-century storm, and Old Yin was trapped on the mountain, where he also encountered wolves."

Encountered wolves!

Lin Qian tensed up, her gaze unwaveringly fixed on Nangong Li.

"At that time, the closest person to him was Qiao Xixian. She saved him by slashing the wolf’s throat with a handheld weapon at the last moment, and she almost died from a wolf bite. It was from then on that they started to interact, and after some time, Qiao Xixian naturally became Old Yin’s girlfriend."

So Qiao Xixian was also Yin Moran’s savior!

Such a relationship was indeed more profound.

Lin Qian pressed her lips together, feeling somewhat envious.

Nangong Li paused and turned the music down, "Old Yin is a very solitary yet deeply sentimental and loyal person. Once he’s committed to someone, he won’t change. So, after they had dated for a few years, when Qiao Xixian hinted that she wanted to get married, Old Yin planned to propose to her."

"It was my bad idea; I said the proposal needed to be unique. Like parachuting down with an engagement ring and appearing before her, with the timing worked out in advance to release pre-arranged proposal balloons in the sky. Old Yin took my advice, but we didn’t expect..."

Nangong Li’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, his profile taut with tension, "Qiao Xixian was someone who didn’t play by the rules. That day, she didn’t wear her usual flight suit. Instead, she wore a newly customized suit with wings to Maya Mountain. For some reason, her parachute didn’t open in time during the descent, leading to... the accident. She didn’t land at the designated spot but plummeted into the ocean, leaving only her flight suit behind, while her body was never found."

The recounting sent a shiver down Lin Qian’s spine.

She had looked up Qiao Xixian’s information and knew that she had tragically died six years ago.

But she never imagined she died for this reason.

No wonder, just now at the dinner table, when Chu Yelin mentioned that a wedding should be creative, Yin Moran suddenly turned sour, even losing his temper at her.

That must be the deepest pain in his heart.

His first love died because of him; he could never forget her for the rest of his life.

Lin Qian squeezed her fists, her thoughts wandering.

The car slowly pulled over to the side of the road, stopping in front of Jing Garden, where she lived.

Nangong Li’s voice reached her ears, "Lin, I’m telling you all this to prevent you from relying on rumors and adding misunderstandings between you and Old Yin. Old Yin has always been indifferent, especially regarding matters of love. Even when he was with Qiao Xixian, he maintained strict propriety, never overstepping bounds."

"I think his doting on Qiao Xixian was because she once saved him. Now that she’s dead, it’s as though she left a deep scar on Old Yin’s heart, leaving him to live in guilt for a long time. Thankfully, you appeared. Recently, I can clearly feel that Old Yin has been much more spirited. Everything is in the past, and I hope you can help him move beyond that pain and start anew with him."

Is that so?

Nangong Li’s meaning is for her not to mind Yin Moran and Qiao Xixian’s past.

Because Yin Moran’s feelings for Qiao Xixian were not purely affection but also mixed with gratitude and guilt?

What about his feelings for her then?

What is mixed with his feelings for her?

Isn’t his kindness towards her largely due to Candy’s fondness for her?

Lin Qian pursed her lips, her feelings complex.

She didn’t know if Nangong Li was exaggerating, but she was truly confused.

On one hand, she didn’t want to dwell on this because she owed Yin Moran too much and had no right to be entangled in these matters.

Yet, deep down, she still yearned for the purest form of love.

Hoping that he could fall wholly and solely in love with her.

"Mr. Li, I’m home now, thank you for the ride."

Not wanting to say more, Lin Qian managed a forced smile at Nangong Li, opened the car door, and got out.

Nangong Li was taken aback, not expecting Lin Qian to leave without any assurances from her.

He hurriedly rolled down the window and said, "Lin, are you still upset about Old Yin losing his temper with you? Don’t be! He lost his temper at you partly because someone stirred trouble and also because your son ran off to Meili by himself to find you. He was just worried about your son’s safety and that’s why he was a bit harsh with you."

Zirui ran off to Meili by himself?

This child, why did he wander off again!

Lin Qian took a deep breath and looked at Nangong Li, "Mr. Li, thank you once again. Moran is lucky to have a friend like you by his side. I’m heading up now, you take care on the road."

She didn’t want to be melodramatic, but she truly didn’t know what else to say.

To ask her to help Yin Moran walk out of his pain and to start a new beginning with him, she lacked the confidence.
