Chapter 274: You Think I Wanted to Save You

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: You Think I Wanted to Save You

Yin Moran’s thin lips pressed tightly together as he pulled out his phone and called Han Chen, who had just left not long ago.

"Han Chen, the man in black just now was Wang Jianguo, the same one who had previously orchestrated Lin Qian’s kidnapping and then fled abroad with his mistress. Send more people to look for him."

"Understood, Mr. Yin."

After hanging up the phone, Yin Moran held Lin Qian’s hand, "Don’t worry, we’ll catch him."

Lin Qian nodded, her gaze fixed on the red light above the emergency room, her red lips lightly pursed.

Was it because Wang Jianguo hated her that he wanted her dead?

But it was clearly he who was at fault!

Humans really are complex creatures.

Aside from oneself, it is probably very difficult for others to understand what kind of person someone truly is.

Just like Qiao Xiya, she had never dreamed that when she faced danger, she would step forward and take a stab for her.

It was unbelievable, causing her to see her in a new light.

"Are you tired? Do you want to go back to the ward and rest? I’ll stay here and watch over things."

Yin Moran saw that Lin Qian looked unwell and wrapped his arm around her shoulders with concern.

Lin Qian shook her head, "No, Qiao Xiya got hurt because she was saving me; I need to see that she’s alright."

She couldn’t be a woman who was ungrateful and betraying. No matter what, she owed Qiao Xiya a favor.

Yin Moran didn’t insist and led her to sit down on a nearby chair.

The two sat quietly, the air filled with the scent of disinfectant.

Yin Moran’s breath caught slightly at the thought of Lin Qian leaving with Chu Yelin that morning.

"Did Zirui and Ziyang go to school?"

"Mm."

Lin Qian pressed her lips together, lowered her eyes, and nodded.

Silence fell, and suddenly neither of them knew what to say.

A faint tension flowed in the space between them.

Yin Moran gripped Lin Qian’s hand tighter, warming her slightly cool hand in his.

It seemed only through this could he prove that she was still there with him.

Time passed, and eventually, the light in the operating room went out, and a doctor came out.

Lin Qian quickly stood up, "Moran, the doctor is out."

Yin Moran saw him too and, taking Lin Qian’s hand, they hurried over.

"Doctor Zhang, is she alright?"

"She’s out of danger. Miss Qiao has passed the critical period. With proper rest after surgery, she’ll recover soon," the doctor replied with a smile behind his mask.

Thank goodness, Qiao Xiya was safe.

Lin Qian sighed in relief and saw from the corner of her eye Qiao Xiya being wheeled out on the gurney, her complexion ghastly pale, eyes closed, being pushed towards the ward.

Yin Moran followed swiftly.

Lin Qian hesitated for a moment and then followed.

In the ward, Yin Moran took care of some matters and stepped out after receiving a phone call.

Lin Qian watched his retreating figure, her lips pursed.

It was evident that he deeply cared about Qiao Xiya.

She couldn’t quite pinpoint the taste in her heart.

Restless and troubled.

Her gaze shifted to Qiao Xiya’s face; looking at her delicate features, Lin Qian silently sat down to space out.

Had she misunderstood Qiao Xiya before?

Was she actually kind-hearted?

"Umm!"

A faint sound came from the bed.

Lin Qian snapped back to attention and looked at the bed, just in time to see Qiao Xiya slowly opening her eyes.

Qiao Xiya was awake.

Lin Qian quickly got up and approached the bed.

"Are you awake?"

Qiao Xiya’s brows furrowed when she saw it was Lin Qian, and her gaze swept around, not finding Yin Moran.

Who wants to see that despicable person when they wake up?

The first person she wanted to see was Yin Moran, okay?

"Are you looking for Moran? He just stepped out to take a call."

Lin Qian couldn’t quite describe how she felt inside, but considering that Qiao Xiya had saved her life, she curved her lips into a smile and spoke calmly.

"Mhm."

Qiao Xiya tried to get up, only to hiss in pain when she noticed the wound on her chest.

"Is my wound okay?"

To make her presence felt, she had given it her all.

It had almost killed her with pain!

"It’s fine, the doctor said it didn’t hit any vital organs, and with plenty of rest, you’ll recover."

Lin Qian quickly and gently helped Qiao Xiya sit up, placing two pillows behind her back for support.

"It didn’t hit any vital organs? Lin Qian, you make it sound so trivial."

Qiao Xiya gave Lin Qian a sidelong glance, her tone laced with cold mockery.

Lin Qian pursed her lips and after a moment of silence asked, "Why did you save me?"

See, this was the kind of attitude Qiao Xiya normally had towards her.

It was hard to reconcile the person who had fearlessly saved her life with this sardonic woman she was now encountering.

Perhaps everyone has two sides?

Hearing Lin Qian’s question, Qiao Xiya reached up to tidy her hair beside her ear, giving her a disdainful glance.

"Do you think I wanted to save you? I was just..."

She was certainly showing off.

But, of course, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to say that in front of Lin Qian.

However, when she saw the door to the hospital room open, her arrogant and contemptuous demeanor shifted.

She looked at Lin Qian with tearful eyes, her voice feigning weakness, "I saved you for Candy. Lin Qian, you know I don’t like you, but right now, Candy needs your bone marrow; you can’t afford any mistakes. So, when I saw that person trying to kill you, I acted impulsively, and all I could think was that you couldn’t get hurt."

Her words were full of apparent honesty and kindness.

She made plain her dislike for Lin Qian but also clearly conveyed her concern for Candy.

This would please Yin Moran while also showcasing her genuine, unpretentious side.

Lin Qian watched Qiao Xiya and listened to her speech, her fingers involuntarily curling.

So that was it!

She had saved her because of Candy.

It was clear she cared a great deal for Candy.

Was it a case of loving the house and its crow?

Because Candy was Yin Moran’s most beloved daughter, she doted on her accordingly.

It seemed she had been prejudiced against Xiya!

One could judge a person’s kindness by how they treat children and small animals.

Now it seemed, regardless of what Qiao Xiya had done to her in the past, her heart wasn’t bad.

At least, she was sincere in her concern for Candy!

Lin Qian felt an indescribable sensation in her heart, only knowing that this realization made her chest feel somewhat heavy.

Yin Moran, who had also entered the hospital room, heard Qiao Xiya’s words and his gaze deepened, softened by a trace of emotion.

He felt deeply grateful for her consideration of his daughter.

"Ya, thank you."

Yin Moran strode to the bedside, genuinely grateful.

Seeing the tenderness briefly flicker across Yin Moran’s handsome face, Qiao Xiya knew well that her words had the desired effect.

Obviously, Yin Moran’s fondness for her was on the rise.

Immediately, she felt immensely smug inside.

"Moran, don’t thank me. Actually, I had my regrets because I thought I was going to die! I was terrified!"

She couldn’t afford to get carried away; it was an opportunity to continue displaying her true nature.

Yin Moran chuckled, "It’s okay now, don’t be scared."

"Mhm, I knew it, Moran, you wouldn’t let anything happen to me."

Qiao Xiya nodded, her eyes shimmering as she looked into Yin Moran’s.
