Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!
Chapter 215: Has It Calmed You Down?

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Has It Calmed You Down?

Hearing Qiao Xiya’s words, Yin Moran’s brows slightly furrowed.

He pulled her hand away and feigned support as they walked back, "I still have things to do, I’ll send a bodyguard over..."

"What do you have to do?"

Qiao Xiya stopped in her tracks, took off her sunglasses, and grabbed his hand, "Moran, I know you’re busy with work, but I’m really scared today. Can you bring your work to my apartment? Just stay with me for one day, no, even half a day will do."

The woman’s expression was pitifully charming, her face somewhat pale, truly eliciting sympathy.

Yin Moran remained silent for a moment but still said, "Ya, that person won’t come back anytime soon, the bodyguard will come to protect you thoroughly. Lin Qian is waiting for me at the company, I need to go back there..."

He had promised to go back and join Lin Qian for a meal.

He hadn’t even waited for her reply.

Once he handled the matter, he would come over again.

But before he could finish his sentence, tears instantly welled up in Qiao Xiya’s eyes.

"It’s Lin Qian again! Fine, go! Since you have her, you no longer care about me. You don’t need to send anyone to protect me, my life or death is none of your concern! When that psycho scares me to death, I’ll go see my sister and tell her how heartless you’ve been!"

After speaking, Qiao Xiya threw the coat that Yin Moran had draped over her to the ground, cast him a teary-eyed glance, and turned to run away crying.

Yin Moran’s brows knitted even tighter.

After a moment’s thought, he picked up the coat from the ground and chased after her with large strides.

To indulge her this once, to stay and keep her company.

It was about time to have a serious talk with her.

Qiao Xiya ran ahead, while keeping an eye on Yin Moran’s movements from the corner of her eye.

Seeing him stride toward her, a sly smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

Acting was her forte.

She didn’t believe that Yin Moran would really leave her alone upon hearing her sister’s name.

Lin Qian waiting for him at the company?

Did that mean she knew Yin Moran had come to her apartment?

Let that wretched woman wait!

Who mattered more in Yin Moran’s heart, she wondered?

A cold glint flashed in Qiao Xiya’s eyes as she pressed the door entry button, seeing Yin Moran catch up, she immediately put on a woebegone expression.

Warmth settled on her shoulders as the coat carrying the man’s scent enveloped her again.

Qiao Xiya lifted her tearful eyes to look at him, with a sob in her voice she said, "Didn’t I tell you to go? Why haven’t you left?"

Yin Moran looked at her, his thin lips parting, "I see you as a sister, if you’re in trouble, I won’t ignore it."

See her as a sister?

Qiao Xiya’s sobbing paused, and she lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions.

"Hmph, just a moment ago, you were talking about going to Lin Qian."

"I just said I was going back, not that I wouldn’t come back."

Yin Moran kept up the pretense of embracing her as they entered the elevator, his expression indifferent as he watched the elevator walls.

So that’s what he meant?

So, in his heart, he actually cared about her, right?

Qiao Xiya, wiping her tears, watched the reflection of the two of them on the elevator wall.

The man tall, the woman petite, seemingly well-matched.

Today was a golden opportunity, she had to make him hers!

A crafty light flickered in Qiao Xiya’s eyes.

Once back at home, Qiao Xiya took off the coat, "Moran, have a seat for a bit. That man touched me, and I feel uncomfortable. I need to take a shower."

Hearing this, Yin Moran nodded slightly and walked over to take a seat on the sofa.

The man’s figure was upright, and his black clothes emphasized his aloof and noble demeanor even more.

This was the man she’d admired for many years; she really wanted to be his woman!

Qiao Xiya’s eyes filled with infatuation, she hurried into the bedroom, found her sexiest nightgown, and rushed into the bathroom.

On the couch, Yin Moran took out his phone to call Han Chen, ordering him to send some men over.

After the call, he paused, took out Lin Qian’s contact on WeChat, and sent a message.

"The business here isn’t finished yet, eat on your own, no need to wait for me."

On the other end of the line, Lin Qian was grabbing her bag, preparing to head back.

Hearing the sound, she took out her phone and glanced at it, her red lips lightly pursed.

"You handle your business, don’t mind me. Also, transfer the money for the suit to me."

She knew he wouldn’t be coming back any time soon once he left.

She wasn’t foolish enough to really wait here for him to come back and have lunch with her.

Soon enough, Yin Moran transferred the money for the suit, Lin Qian accepted it and politely sent a message: Received, thank you.

Yin Moran looked at those four words, his brows furrowed tightly, everything about it displeased him.

It was too formal.

He really didn’t like the way she spoke to him.

Thinking about it, he dialed Lin Qian’s number.

Lin Qian had already stepped out of the CEO’s office, she pursed her lips and answered the call when she saw who it was.

"Hello?"

"Are you eating obediently?"

The man’s voice, deep and rich like a cello, transmitted through the current, sounded so pleasant it was as if it could impregnate the ears.

Lin Qian’s fingers curled slightly, "I’ve already eaten, I’m about to go back to work."

"So soon? Was the food to your liking?"

"It was delicious."

"Did it help you cool down?"

Delicious food could lift one’s spirits, and he was intentionally trying to appease her today.

Lin Qian knew it in her heart, she felt warmed yet conflicted, "I’m not angry, uh, the elevator’s here, I can’t talk anymore, I’m getting in the elevator."

She wasn’t really angry at him.

She just felt a bit tangled.

In her heart, she was always uneasy and confused about their relationship.

She didn’t know how far they could go in the future.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Qian stepped into the elevator.

The elevator’s shiny inner walls reflected the dazzling ring on her hand.

Lin Qian pursed her lips, her eyebrows slightly knit.

Such a big diamond ring was too ostentatious, it was better to take it off.

Thinking this, Lin Qian reached out to remove the ring.

But...

No way, what kind of ring did Yin Moran buy?

It wouldn’t come off!

Lin Qian tried several times but couldn’t remove the ring, immediately staring with incredulous almond-shaped eyes.

Just then, the elevator door opened, and Lin Qian, having no choice, covered the ring on her hand, planning to deal with it after returning to the store.

Not far away, a beautiful figure was approaching.

Lin Qian glanced over inadvertently and immediately smiled.

It was Fang Tong!

She quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Tong!"

"Ah? Little Qian! What a coincidence, I was just about to call you."

Fang Tong’s beautiful eyes shifted, she grabbed Lin Qian’s arm and pulled her to a secluded area.

"What are you doing at Yin Group? Did you come to confront Mr. Yin? I saw the news about him and Qiao Xiya this morning, and I think there must be some misunderstanding. Mr. Yin is not the flirtatious type; surely it was a play directed by Qiao Xiya herself. That woman, I should have someone scare her a few more times."

A series of fast talk, filled with the care and greetings between best friends.

Lin Qian felt warm inside, thinking that Yin Moran had good people around him, to have her friend speak so highly in his defense.

However...

"Tong, what do you mean by ’scare her a few more times’? What did you do to Qiao Xiya?"
