Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Qiao Xiya is Not My Girlfriend

The people in the kitchen had left without her realizing when, leaving only Lin Qian and Yin Moran.

Lin Qian curled her lips and snatched the seasoning bottle from his hand, "Thanks! The kitchen is full of greasy smoke. Maybe you, Mr. Yin, with your tall stature, would like to sit outside for a while?"

He called her a shorty, so she called him a tall guy, and she truly wasn’t willing to back down at all!

A flicker of amusement passed through Yin Moran’s eyes as he leaned in slightly and said, "You kept your distance from me in the car just now, and now you want me to go outside. Are you that scared of me?"

His imposing height gave off an overwhelming presence, but his voice was seductively soft, making Lin Qian’s ears heat up involuntarily, causing her to take a step back.

"I... I’m not!"

What a seducer!

Doesn’t he have anything better to do?

Was he just flirting with her?

"Fine, this is your home, stay if you want."

Lin Qian didn’t know why she was panicking, but she quickly turned around and started preparing dinner.

Yin Moran slowly straightened up and leaned against the corner of the counter, his handsome brows slightly raised.

He didn’t know what was wrong with him either.

When he saw her reaching for a seasoning bottle on tiptoe, he had entered as if possessed.

Perhaps it was because today the place didn’t feel quite as empty, brightened by her presence.

"About what happened at the school today, don’t worry about it too much, I’ll take care of it."

Yin Moran watched Lin Qian’s slender waist, his thin lips parting lightly.

At his words, Lin Qian paused her cooking, glanced at the stir-fried meat in the wok, and a fleeting pang of heartache showed in her eyes, "Mr. Yin, you have no idea how good my baby is. He has been understanding and well-behaved since he was little. At such a young age, he learned to cook. When his little hands couldn’t reach the kitchen counter, he would pull over a stool to stand on and cook. I don’t have to be distracted by household chores; I just need to take care of myself. How could such an adorable child be bullied by others?"

It was all because she was dragging him down.

They could come at her, but why hurt the soul of a young child?

Yin Moran pictured the obedient and clever image of Lin Zirui while listening to Lin Qian’s story.

An inexplicable heartache surged within him.

"I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t allow the school to foster such a harmful environment."

"Mr. Yin, thank you so much for today."

Lin Qian pressed her lips together, "You may not know this, but I have a bit of a personal grudge with Wang Jianguo. That Mrs. Zhang acted under his instructions, deliberately gossiping in front of the children, aiming to make me withdraw Zirui from the school myself. Their bullying is too much, I won’t let it go just like this."

Her tone was resolute, her gaze stubborn, filled with intense maternal love, causing a slight stir in Yin Moran’s dark eyes.

A mother’s fierce protection?

Perhaps it was her wholehearted devotion to her son that made Candy so fond of her?

If Candy were her daughter and had been wronged, would she also defend her so fiercely?

Yin Moran coughed lightly, "Lin Qian, Xiya Qiao is not my girlfriend."

So, could she seriously consider his proposal to become Candy’s mommy?

Lin Qian’s hand faltered as she was cooking, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling.

Why was he explaining this to her?

Not his girlfriend, huh?

But wasn’t he still protecting her?

Lin Qian transferred the stir-fried dish from the wok to a plate, "Mr. Yin, MXC company initially planned to fire me, then suddenly changed their decision. Was it you who helped fix the situation?"

"Yes," Yin Moran’s lips curved into a small smile.

"So it really was you."

Lin Qian turned to look at him, "However, I am not going to thank you for it. Because the problem started with you, didn’t it? Miss Qiao misunderstood that I was seducing you, which is why she had others set me up. Mr. Yin, I’ll keep my distance from now on, and I hope you can clarify things with Miss Qiao, to dispel her doubts."

Yin Moran’s smile froze, and his expression darkened instantly.

He hadn’t expected Lin Qian to say such a thing.

"I’m only asking you, are you seriously not considering my proposal that day?"

He’d lowered his posture so much, did she really intend to refuse his offer?

This was the first time he had faced rejection from a woman.

"I’m sorry!"

Lin Qian opened her mouth, finally giving Yin Moran an apologetic smile, saying sorry.

He was the high and mighty heir to the family.

While she was just an ordinary saleswoman who couldn’t be more ordinary, with a child by her side.

Their worlds were miles apart; how could they possibly be together?

Lin Qian let out a sigh, turned around, and silently continued cooking, no longer looking at him.

The air around Yin Moran grew incredibly heavy, his eyes filled with a deep melancholy.

He stared steadily at the slender figure of the woman, and finally left with a cold face and brisk steps.

Outside, two little rascals played joyfully like two little birds set free.

"Big brother, come up here."

Candy had climbed up the rockery and was waving at Lin Zirui below.

"Candy, be careful, sit there and don’t wiggle around," Lin Zirui warned with some concern.

"Hehe, big brother, it’s okay! Don’t be scared, come up."

"I’m not scared. If you say so, I’ll come up."

Lin Zirui had never climbed so high before; he swallowed hard and prepared to climb up using the existing steps.

"Hehe, big brother, make sure to step firmly. But it’s okay, they’ll protect your safety."

Candy glanced at the two bodyguards standing by and reassured Lin Zirui.

Lin Zirui hummed a response and finally reached the top, letting out a big sigh of relief.

"Hehe, big brother, there’s so much sweat on your forehead."

Candy smiled and raised her fair little hand to wipe the sweat from Lin Zirui’s brow.

He must be nervous; she had also felt the same the first time she climbed up.

The two dangled their short legs, chatting and looking at the distant views.

A person approached from not too far away.

Candy glanced over unintentionally, her little brow furrowed.

"Why is she here again?"

"Who’s here?" Lin Zirui looked puzzled, following Candy’s gaze.

"It’s that woman who keeps sticking to my daddy."

Was it her?

Candy’s daddy’s girlfriend?

Lin Zirui’s eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of displeasure crossing his face.

"Big brother, let me tell you, she’s really not my daddy’s girlfriend. My daddy even told me, he won’t let her be my mommy. It’s just that this woman is too shameless and keeps clinging to my daddy."

Candy’s big eyes twirled, "Big brother, don’t you think my daddy is awesome? If mommy could marry my daddy, then wouldn’t that mean no one could ever bully mommy and you again? So, to get daddy and mommy together, we need to make this woman give up and never dare to cling to my daddy again."

Candy’s words stirred Lin Zirui’s heart, "Candy, do you want to teach her a lesson?"

Mr. Yin was really powerful; perhaps it was time for him to fight for his mommy!
