Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!
Chapter 205: It’s Time to Propose

Chapter 205: Chapter 205: It’s Time to Propose

Hearing Nangong Li’s words, Yin Moran’s brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at him, his deep eyes slightly cool.

Nangong Li smirked, "Don’t look at me like that. I’ve said quite a few good things for you, giving you a preemptive shot for your future happiness. For instance, I said you’re very responsible, faithful, and all that. Also, I told her you were with Qiao Xixian because she saved you, and your feelings for her are more guilt than love. You’ve lived like an ascetic these years, hoping she won’t hold a grudge against a dead man, and that she could lead you out of your pain."

This made it seem like he was soliciting Lin Qian’s sympathy for him.

Yin Moran’s gaze grew colder, "Did I ask you to complain to her on my behalf?"

He was a man, and a man should bear all the pain alone, always giving a woman a sense of security.

"Ha, Old Yin, you just don’t get it," Nangong Li said with a smirk of triumph.

"You should know that women, especially those like Lin Qian who have children, sometimes can’t help but feel a surge of maternal instincts. So, it’s good for a man to show a bit of vulnerability at the right time. It can stimulate a woman’s protective urges and elevate the relationship between you two, understand?"

Show vulnerability?

Yin Moran gave Nangong Li a chilly glance and remained noncommittal.

It surely hadn’t come to that point yet.

There wasn’t any irreconcilable conflict between him and Lin Qian.

As for his feelings for Qiao Xixian...

Yin Moran’s lips tightened slightly, and his eyes were laden with shifting emotions.

It was clear to an observer. Nangong Li’s words had some validity.

Having seen his parents’ unhappy marriage from a young age, he had a rather indifferent view of romantic love.

He had silently sworn in his heart that once he found the right woman, he would be devoted to her for life, never to be fickle like his father.

As he grew older, there was no shortage of women throwing themselves at him, which only increased his distaste, until he met Qiao Xixian.

Initially, she didn’t seem much different from other women, but after she saved him, he truly began to pay attention to her.

He knew that, as the heir to the Yin Family, there should eventually be a woman by his side.

And in many ways, Qiao Xixian was not too bad.

Most importantly, she had saved him.

Thus, he began to slowly accept her advances, until she hinted at wanting marriage, and he decided to propose to her.

But unexpectedly...

Yin Moran’s emotions fluctuated for a while but eventually settled down.

Such guilt might entangle him for a lifetime.

But he would not lose his composure like he did yesterday.

Yin Moran gathered his thoughts and focused on the document in front of him, picking it up and scrutinizing it closely.

"Chu Yelin has lived in Su City before?"

This man, since their first meeting, had projected a strong hostility toward him.

What was the reason?

Was it because of Qiao Xixian, or because of Lin Qian?

"Yes! This Chu Yelin is a bit mysterious," Nangong Li said, seeing that Yin Moran had shifted the topic to Chu Yelin and straightening up himself.

"He’s 26 years old, settled in country F. His father is unknown, and his mother died early. He spent his early years in Su City before going abroad. He studied finance and once saved a person in charge of the Xinde Family, which is why they value him highly. In the Xinde Family, he’s second only to one, with thousands beneath him. He’s unmarried, but it’s said that he has a child with him. His visit to Su City this time to inspect things is puzzling, because with his status, such trivial tasks wouldn’t require his presence."

A series of remarks left Yin Moran deep in thought.

He didn’t wish to focus on Chu Yelin’s matters, but since he was Lin Qian’s immediate superior and had shown hostility toward him at their first meeting, he couldn’t help but take notice.

What exactly was Chu Yelin’s intention?

"Old Yin, I think this Chu Yelin is bad news. He could have been one of Qiao Xixian’s admirers, and because she’s gone, he’s got a grudge against you. Now that he’s back in Su City, he might be out for revenge. So, you should be cautious about him getting close to Lin Qian. I think you should propose to Lin Qian sooner rather than later and marry her," Nangong Li advised Yin Moran.

Yin Moran’s lips tightened, his eyes as deep and fathomless as the ocean.

Was Chu Yelin really back for revenge?

This was, after all, just Nangong Li’s speculation.

But he really should marry Lin Qian and bring her home.

What method should he use to propose, though?

He probably won’t come up with anything original again!

...

Lin Qian took Han Chen’s car to drop the two little ones off at kindergarten.

Thinking of her son’s tender words and his cool little face, Lin Qian couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Why was the child’s prejudice against Yin Moran growing stronger?

Her feelings were complex, and she didn’t know what kind of attitude she should adopt towards Yin Moran in the future.

The car had reached the storefront, Lin Qian gathered her thoughts, thanked Han Chen, and entered the shop.

"Manager Lin, good morning."

Several employees who were working on sample products greeted Lin Qian.

Lin Qian smiled and nodded at them in acknowledgment.

Just as she was about to go to the dressing room, the employees’ whispers reached her ears from behind.

"Hey, did you see the news this morning? That Yin Moran actually kissed the big star Qiao Xiya! Men really are no good, I think he was just playing with Manager Lin."

"I saw it too. Face reality. Women of our status should just accept our fate. How could a powerful man like Yin Moran stay true to just one woman?"

"No wonder Manager Lin doesn’t want to resign; she must also feel that Yin Moran is unreliable."

"..."

Lin Qian overheard and her fingers involuntarily curled.

Another laughingstock!

Yin Moran is just a big pig’s trotter!

All thanks to him, she had to endure being the subject of incessant gossip every day.

Lin Qian took a deep breath and quickly headed for the dressing room.

The door to the office on one side was open, and Du Qian stood at the doorway, looking at Lin Qian with unmistakable schadenfreude.

"Lin Qian, you’re here for work! Tsk, you don’t look so good! Well, it must not be pleasant to be treated as a plaything by a man!"

How amusing.

Yin Moran actually kissed Qiao Xiya?

Lin Qian deserved the humiliation!

Lin Qian’s delicate hand, pulling the door of the dressing room, paused momentarily; she closed her eyes, suppressed the irritation within her, and, not wanting to bother with Du Qian, quickly entered the dressing room.

Inside, Chen Fei had just finished changing her clothes.

Seeing Lin Qian’s pallid complexion, she immediately stepped forward, concerned, "Manager Lin, are you all right?"

She had arrived to hear several employees gossiping; Chen Fei hadn’t seen the news herself, and by the time she looked, it was already gone.

But some employees had saved the video.

So, she too knew about the scandal that broke out between Yin Moran and Qiao Xiya last night.

It was truly unexpected.

Such a quick reversal.

"I’m fine."

Lin Qian smiled and began changing her clothes.

"Manager Lin, didn’t you ask Mr. Yin whether the news was true or false? You know how those paparazzi are; they’re good at capturing moments, maybe it was all a misunderstanding."

Chen Fei said as she watched Lin Qian’s silhouette.

Lin Qian’s hands, unfastening the buttons, froze for a moment before she turned back with a smile, "I didn’t ask. Alright, Little Feifei, let’s not talk about it. It’s working hours; don’t spoil my mood."

Why should she take the initiative to ask?

If he cared about her feelings, shouldn’t he have called her right away to explain?

She didn’t want to deal with him!
