Chapter 281: Chapter 281: I Won’t Hurt Them

Lin Qian had no expression on her face, and after she finished speaking to Xu Xinyi, she prepared to leave.

She had treated her as a benefactor, a friend, but in reality...

Forget it; consider it all over for the sake of the care she had provided to her and her son over these past few years.

"Lin Qian..."

Xu Xinyi hastily grabbed Lin Qian’s arm, a glint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"I know you’re angry right now, but there’s no need to sever ties with me."

"Doctor Xu, since our paths don’t align, we shouldn’t work together. We never knew each other in the first place, so let’s... keep it that way."

Lin Qian pulled away Xu Xinyi’s hand, her expression calm.

"Lin Qian..."

Xu Xinyi opened her mouth to say something more when Lin Qian’s phone started ringing.

Lin Qian glanced at her phone and saw it was Fang Tong calling. She stopped walking and moved aside to answer.

"Hello, Tong."

"Little Qian, my daughter is sick. I’ve booked a flight for early tomorrow morning. I’m not sure when we’ll see each other again. I’ll miss you."

Fang Tong’s melancholic voice came through the phone. Lin Qian was startled, a wave of loss passing through her heart, and her throat tightened inexplicably.

"You’re leaving so soon? Tong, I’ll come to see you in a bit."

Because of Xu Xinyi, her current mood was not good.

And hearing Fang Tong’s news of departure made it even worse.

She didn’t have many friends; she considered these two her confidants.

But one had ulterior motives, and the other was leaving.

Her heart was full of an unspeakable bitterness.

Lin Qian hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and prepared to enter the private room.

"Lin Qian, I haven’t finished speaking."

Xu Xinyi once again blocked Lin Qian’s way.

"Lin Qian, I admit I had selfish motives, but I really always saw you as a friend. You don’t have to move out; I have another place to live. If you don’t want to see me, I’ll move. As for the rent..."

Xu Xinyi paused, "Fine, you like to keep things separate, I have no objections. But either way, I’ll still treat you as a friend."

Her words were filled with sincerity.

Lin Qian listened silently, ultimately not saying anything further, and hurried into the private room.

Behind her, Xu Xinyi watched Lin Qian’s retreating figure, sighing inwardly before following her in.

Inside the private room, the two brothers were silently eating their meal, eagerly waiting.

Seeing Lin Qian and Xu Xinyi finally enter, both pairs of big eyes stared at them.

Lin Qian was not in the mood to eat, but when she met those dark pairs of eyes, she calmed herself and bent her lips into a small smile.

No matter what troubles she faced, she didn’t want to show it in front of the children.

"Mommy, the dishes are getting cold, eat quickly."

Chu Ziyang kindly served her food, looking at Lin Qian.

"Mommy, have some soup first, it’s really good."

Lin Zirui also spoke up, pushing the soup closer to Lin Qian.

The thoughtful care of the two little ones warmed Lin Qian’s heart.

She touched their heads, and the vexation in her heart seemed to dissipate a lot.

Across the table, Chu Yelin glanced at Xu Xinyi; their eyes met before they looked away.

Throughout the meal, Lin Qian paid little attention to the two opposite her, only sporadically conversing with her sons.

When they had almost finished eating, Lin Qian was ready to pay the bill, but Chu Yelin stopped her.

"Lin Qian, as Ziyang said, it’s my turn to foot the bill as their father. Let me handle it."

Hearing this, Lin Qian glanced over at him and Xu Xinyi and nodded, "Alright, since Doctor Xu is an old acquaintance of yours, it’s not inappropriate for you to pay the bill. I won’t fight to treat you all."

Since Xu Xinyi’s help had been with ulterior motives, there was no need for her to be so warm towards her anymore.

The money saved would be better spent on something nice for her two treasures.

Chu Yelin looked steadily at Lin Qian, eventually curling his lips into a light smile and strode towards the cashier.

She was upset!

Which was normal!

Xu Xinyi sighed inwardly, standing silently on the spot.

Lin Qian paid her no heed, looking down at the two little ones, "Sons, Mommy has to go to a friend’s house for a bit, you..."

"Lin Qian, if you’re busy, you go ahead, and I will take Ziyang and Zirui back."

Xu Xinyi interrupted Lin Qian.

Lin Qian’s words stuck in her throat as she looked at Xu Xinyi, "Doctor Xu, I can look after my own son; you don’t have to trouble yourself, given that we are, after all, unrelated. I am quite afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

Xu Xinyi sighed, "Lin Qian, both of them were born into my hands, and I’ve watched them grow up. No matter what, I wouldn’t harm them."

"Won’t harm them? But who knows if you’ll help the person you love by taking my children away?"

Four years ago, she followed Chu Yelin’s orders to assist her in giving birth; four years later, would she follow Chu Yelin’s orders again to take the children away from her?

After all, she loved Chu Yelin and would heed his words!

Lin Qian looked at Xu Xinyi, holding the two children close by her side.

Xu Xinyi offered a helpless smile, "Lin Qian, can’t you see? He wants to build a family with you and your sons; why would he let me take the kids away? I want to look after them only to salvage our friendship. You should understand that you’re about to have surgery and won’t always be able to keep the kids with you, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Qian opened her mouth to say something but fell silent.

Xu Xinyi was not just an excellent gynecologist but also an adept psychologist. She could read people’s minds and persuade them well.

She was indeed about to have surgery and really felt too weak to take care of the two children, didn’t she?

If this had happened before, she could have sought Yin Moran’s help, but now...

She had just told him they needed to calm down, so it was impossible for her to seek his help.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of defeat.

Powerless because of her own weakness.

"Mommy, what’s wrong with you and Mrs. Xu?"

"Mommy, did you have a fight with Mrs. Xu?"

The brothers looked left and right at each other and asked in turn.

Before Lin Qian could answer, Xu Xinyi said with a smile, "It’s nothing, don’t worry. Mrs. Xu did something wrong and is asking for your mommy’s forgiveness."

The brothers exchanged glances, then both fixed their gazes on Lin Qian, full of questions.

Lin Qian didn’t want the children to worry and rubbed their heads, "Mommy and Mrs. Xu have some misunderstandings. It’s okay now, could you... go back with Mrs. Xu for now?"

"Mommy, can’t we stay with you at the hospital tonight?"

Lin Zirui asked, sounding unhappy.

"You’re still young, and there are too many germs in the hospital to stay there all the time. Stay at home with Mrs. Xu tonight."

Xu Xinyi added, and Lin Qian opened her mouth but eventually did not object.

It seemed Lin Qian, with no one else to rely on, could only follow Xu Xinyi’s arrangements.
