Chapter 301: Chapter 301: The Candy Fairy’s Speech

"Moran, you’re here!"

Opposite her, Qiao Xiya saw Yin Moran appear and instantly broke into a delicate smile, gracefully walking up to him.

She reached out and hooked her arm through Yin Moran’s, her face radiating a sweet smile.

Yin Moran slowed his steps, his dark eyes sweeping over the arm that now carried an accessory, catching a whiff of the strong perfume emanating from the woman. His brows furrowed ever so slightly.

But when he caught Lin Qian’s gaze not far away, he suppressed the urge to pull his arm away from Qiao Xiya’s grip, gave a faint "Mm," and curved his lips slightly, "You’ve been discharged from the hospital, and instead of resting at home, you’re running around everywhere?"

The man’s tone was gentle, making Qiao Xiya’s smile grow even sweeter as she cooed, "I came to check on Candy, and to remind you that tomorrow we’re visiting my sister’s grave."

Visiting Qiao Xixian’s grave!

Yin Moran’s expression darkened slightly, his thin lips pressed together. "I know, I won’t forget."

"Mm-mm, Moran, what time do we leave tomorrow? Will you come to my apartment to pick me up?"

"Mm, early in the morning. I’ll come and get you."

"Great!"

"..."

Watching the two of them walk past her as if she were invisible, Lin Qian felt like her heart had overturned a pantry full of spices, experiencing a tumult of complex emotions.

Ever since that initial glance, the man hadn’t looked at her even once.

He not only ignored her but allowed Qiao Xiya to cling to him like a piece of gum! It was infuriating!

And tomorrow, they’ll be going to visit Qiao Xixian’s grave together.

He’s going to pay respects to the woman he loved most?

How suffocating!

She was about to explode!

Lin Qian took a deep breath, thinking about Yin Moran’s cold and distant demeanor. She pressed her lips together and quickly walked toward the hospital room.

She couldn’t let things go on like this.

She couldn’t stand Yin Moran’s detached attitude toward her.

Inside the hospital room, Candy was sitting on the sofa. When she saw Qiao Xiya coming in with Yin Moran, her little mouth immediately pouted.

"Auntie, can you tell me the story about Sun Wukong battling the White Bone Spirit again? I want to hear it."

Such an annoying female demon. Wish Sun Wukong could come and reveal her true form!

"Huh? You want to hear a story?"

Still the one about Sun Wukong battling the White Bone Spirit?

Yin Qinglan blinked, slow to comprehend, but once she did, she bit her lip, barely holding back laughter.

"Ahem, Auntie will find a version on her phone, okay!"

This little baby, learning to throw shade at such a young age!

She compared Qiao Xiya, who just walked in, to a demon spirit, clearly insinuating she should be kicked out!

Yin Moran cast a glance at his daughter’s sorrowful gaze directed at him, his thin lips pressing tighter.

Is this little one blaming him again?

Why doesn’t she blame that cold-hearted woman instead?

Always causing him frustration!

"Candy, do you really like listening to this kind of story? Why not have Mrs. Qiao tell it to you instead?"

Following Yin Moran into the room, Qiao Xiya had clearly heard Candy’s remark.

Not understanding the hidden meaning, she thought only to curry favor with Candy.

Candy blinked her beautiful big eyes, looking at Qiao Xiya. "Mrs. Qiao, you know this story too? Then tell me—don’t you think the female demon is really annoying and deserves to be beaten up?"

"Of course! She transformed into various human forms to try and eat Tang Monk’s flesh. Such a demon should definitely be struck by Sun Wukong’s Jingu Bang until it’s wiped out!"

Qiao Xiya sat down beside Candy, smiling at her in an attempt to ingratiate.

Candy nodded, her childish voice chiming, "Mrs. Qiao, you’re absolutely right. Female demons deserve to be beaten to death."

After a pause, she glanced at Yin Moran, then turned to Qiao Xiya and said, "Mrs. Qiao, don’t you think my daddy is just like a piece of Tang Monk’s flesh? Always attracting female demons! I wish I could invite Sun Wukong out of the book to take care of all those female demons lingering around my daddy!"

With her black shining eyes fixed on her, Qiao Xiya opened her mouth, preparing to say something to agree, only to suddenly realize something wasn’t quite right.

Female demons around Yin Moran?

This little rascal—was she covertly calling her a female demon?

Instantly, Qiao Xiya’s face turned all sorts of shades, glaring at Candy speechlessly.

Such a silly little demon spirit!

Candy mentally did a giant eye roll. As her gaze inadvertently shifted, she saw Lin Qian standing at the hospital room door.

Immediately, overjoyed, she slid down from the sofa.

"Mommy!"

Oh!

Mommy is the best!

Mommy’s like the Queen from Goddess Country... wish she could just eat up Daddy.

No, no—wish Mommy could just win Daddy over!

Candy affectionately threw herself into Lin Qian’s arms, her black eyes bright and glittering.

Lin Qian’s lips curved, her eyes brimming with joy.

When she had just pushed the door open, she overheard the little one’s comments, which truly made her unable to stop laughing!

Isn’t someone like a piece of Tang Monk’s flesh?

Drawing female demons like moths to a flame.

Maybe she should turn into Sun Wukong and deal with all those demons herself?

Ahem. The little rascal was leading her astray.

"Candy, have you taken your medicine?"

Lin Qian suppressed her wandering thoughts, picked up the little baby, and walked over to sit on the sofa.

"Medicine! I already took my medicine this morning!"

As soon as Candy heard this question, her little face scrunched up into a ball, her tiny hands fidgeting.

"Sis-in-law, Candy still has one more dose left—that’s waiting for you to feed her."

Yin Qinglan looked at Lin Qian, her expression full of implicit understanding.

Lin Qian understood because this medicine was a bit like Chinese herbal medicine—slightly bitter.

The little rascal always put up a fuss, only willing to take it if she fed her. No one else could even get close.

Lin Qian helplessly, yet fondly, pinched the little one’s smooth, tender cheeks. As she was about to get up to fetch the medicine, her almond-shaped eyes caught sight of the tall man stepping out from the restroom, and her heart slightly stirred.

"Moran, can you help me take out one pack of Candy’s medicine from the drawer over there and mix it with some hot water?"

For Candy’s "female demon" comments, she had to seize the chance to ease relations with Yin Moran.

Otherwise, the female demons around him might take advantage of the situation to stir up trouble.

Hearing Lin Qian’s request, Yin Moran paused his steps, his dark eyes flickering as they met hers.

The woman gazed at him, her smile gentle and bright, her tone commanding in a way that felt much like an interaction between husband and wife.

This woman...

"Which drawer is it in? Moran is a man—how could you make him do such trivial chores? Let me grab it instead!"

Seated nearby, Qiao Xiya heard Lin Qian’s words. Before Yin Moran could respond, she got up and headed to the desk.

"Miss Qiao, please sit down and rest, no need to trouble yourself."

Lin Qian smiled warmly at Qiao Xiya, her lips forming each word lightly, "Moran knows where everything related to Candy is kept. He’s used to fetching things for her."

The light-hearted tone carried a deep sense of familiarity.

The kind of familiarity shared only among family!

Did she see herself as the mistress of the house?

Qiao Xiya’s expression shifted as she hesitated mid-step, only to see Yin Moran pull open a drawer, take out a box, retrieve a packet of medicine, and adeptly mix it with hot water.

The man remained silent, yet the cold aura around him seemed to gradually dissipate.

Was it because of Lin Qian’s words?

Qiao Xiya’s fingernails dug into her palms involuntarily, her delicate face twisting.

No matter what she did, would it never measure up to Lin Qian’s mere words?

She refused to accept this!
