Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Do Not Mess with the Sirens Outside

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

In the VIP hospital room, Lin Qian was helping Candy with breakfast.

Beside them sat Yin Moran, sipping coffee while dealing with work, his tall figure as dignified and aloof as ever.

"Mommy, did you not sleep with Candy last night?"

Candy took a bite of egg custard, her big, sparkling eyes blinking as she asked.

Lin Qian’s hand froze, her pretty face tinged with red, a look of discomfort showing on her face.

"N-no, of course not. Didn’t you fall asleep listening to my bedtime story?"

Child, could you stop with these soul-piercing questions?

She couldn’t handle it!

"Mommy, lying will make your nose grow long, you know!"

Candy giggled, her lively eyes darting back and forth between Lin Qian and Yin Moran. "But Mommy, don’t worry! Baby’s not jealous, because Mommy must have gone to be with Daddy, right?"

Lin Qian: "..."

Could she deny it?

So embarrassing!

It was all his fault, dragging her into his nonsense!

"Ahem, Candy, hurry up and eat your breakfast. It won’t taste good if it gets cold."

"Okay, okay! Mommy, you eat too."

"..."

Yin Moran paused his work, looking up at the interaction between the two. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, a gentle warmth in his deep gaze.

At that moment, his phone rang.

Yin Moran glanced at the caller ID, and the faint smile on his lips receded.

It was a call from Qiao Xiya.

When he answered, Qiao Xiya’s sweet voice came through the phone. "Moran, are you up yet? I’m already up and waiting for you at the apartment!"

"Mm, I know."

The joy in his heart dimmed somewhat because of this call.

Today, he was going to pay his respects to someone who had died because of him.

Closing his laptop, he suppressed the emotions roiling within him. Rising to his feet, he turned to the two beside him, one big and one small. "I’m leaving now. Candy, be good and listen to your mommy. Don’t give her a hard time, understand?"

"Don’t worry, Daddy! Candy will be very good and won’t bother Mommy at all," Candy said with a bright, smiling face. "You also have to be good and not get charmed by any outside vixens. Come back early to keep us company, okay?"

Yin Moran: "..."

Lin Qian: "..."

This child, always worrying about adult matters.

Lin Qian couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. She stood up and walked over to Yin Moran, raising her hand to smooth out his already tidy clothing.

"Did you hear that? No flirting with outside vixens!"

Pretending to be stern, her tone was intentionally playful, melting a part of Yin Moran’s heart.

With a swift movement, he drew her into his arms.

His deep, magnetic voice murmured in her ear, "How about letting you inspect me when I get back?"

Lin Qian: "..."

Inspect him when he gets back?

What kind of inspection?

Using the same intimate method as last night?

This man had no shame!

Lin Qian’s face turned an adorable shade of red, her moist eyes glaring at him angrily. "Let go of me! Candy’s still right here!"

Yin Moran chuckled softly, but before he could respond, the little one nearby piped up.

"Hehe, Mommy, don’t be shy! Candy’s covering her eyes!"

Lin Qian: "..."

Little darling, if you’re covering your eyes, at least cover them properly! Don’t spread your fingers so wide, leaving one big black eye peeking out!

...

Yin Moran left the hospital and drove to Qiao Xiya’s apartment.

After picking her up, he drove them straight out of the city.

Qiao Xiya’s family lived in Yun City, which was over two hours away by car from Su City.

During the drive, Yin Moran remained silent, the aura around him heavy and cold.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Qiao Xiya also kept quiet.

She knew that on this day every year, Yin Moran’s mood would be particularly bad.

She turned her head to look at the fast-retreating bushes outside the window, a glimmer of something dark flashing in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.

In the past, she had been overconfident, unwilling to employ any tactics.

But now...

She wouldn’t let Lin Qian continue to win.

She would seize this day and make them fall apart!

The car sped along, reaching Yun City. After winding its way through the streets, they arrived at the cemetery.

Yin Moran, dressed in a black wool coat and carrying a bouquet of fresh flowers, approached a gravestone with a cold, somber expression.

The cold gravestone stood quietly in the sunlight.

Engraved upon it was the photo of a woman.

Her smooth forehead, delicate eyes, and smile as radiant as a blooming flower were forever frozen in time, etched into the hearts of those who remembered her.

A flicker of crimson flashed in Yin Moran’s deep gaze.

His lips tightly pressed together, he placed the flowers in front of the gravestone. Slowly crouching down, he raised his long fingers to gently touch the stone.

Xian, I’m here to see you again!

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye. How are you doing over there?

The familiar ache in his chest spread through him again, the lump in his throat making it hard to swallow, his eyes reddening as pain gripped his heart.

I’m sorry!

Truly, I’m sorry!

Guilt filled his heart, for the beautiful soul that had left this world too soon.

Soft sobbing reached his ears.

Qiao Xiya knelt beside him, carefully arranging the items in front of the gravestone.

"Sister, Moran and I came to see you again! Don’t worry about us; we’re doing fine. Even though Moran has someone else by his side, he still takes care of me. Sister, I miss you so much. If only you were still alive—how wonderful that would be!"

Qiao Xiya wept like a delicate flower in the rain, her face adorned with sorrow and longing for her lost sister.

But only she knew that her heart felt nothing.

Yes, her relationship with Qiao Xixian as sisters had been decent.

But when two people fell for the same man, no bond of sisterhood could hold weight.

From the moment she first laid eyes on Yin Moran, she had fallen for him!

He was hers and hers alone!

Hearing Qiao Xiya cry, a visible pain spread across Yin Moran’s striking features.

Carefully, he cleaned the dust off the gravestone, then took the wine he had brought and poured it reverently onto the ground, bowing deeply toward the grave.

It was time to leave.

May the heavens continue to grace her beauty and the unforgettable memories she left behind.

Beside him, Qiao Xiya wiped away her tears and bowed deeply as well.

"Sister, Moran and I are leaving now. We’ll come see you again this time next year. If you miss me, you must visit me in my dreams!"

Choking back her sobs, Qiao Xiya leaned toward Yin Moran.

Yin Moran pressed his lips tightly together. Supporting her momentarily before withdrawing his hand quickly, he picked up the wine flask and turned to leave.

"Let’s go."

Qiao Xiya sniffled, watching the man’s broad back as he walked away, a slight furrow forming on her brow.

Was it just her imagination?

Why did it feel like he was intentionally avoiding her touch?

But this was unimportant.

After today, their relationship was bound to make progress.

Qiao Xiya’s red lips curled into a smile, and she hurried to catch up.

"Moran, my parents have made a reservation in the city. They want to meet you."

Yin Moran’s steps slowed, and he turned slightly to glance at Qiao Xiya, a faint wrinkle forming between his brows.

Originally, after paying respects to Qiao Xixian, he had planned to leave.

But now...

These were Qiao Xixian’s parents, and he owed her too much to refuse their invitation.

"Alright."

Yin Moran gave a simple reply, and the curve of Qiao Xiya’s smile deepened.

She hooked her arm around his, laughing sweetly. "Moran, it’s been so long since I’ve seen my parents. They’ll be so happy to see you with me when we return."
