Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!
Chapter 427: Does Habit Equal Liking?

Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Does Habit Equal Liking?

Smelling the familiar scent of the man and feeling his unspoken anxiety, Lin Qian’s nose felt a little sore.

She didn’t speak, just hugged his waist tightly, as if silently comforting him.

The ringing of a phone interrupted the somber atmosphere.

It was a call from Yin Moran. Lin Qian knew he had work to do, so she didn’t linger.

"I’m going in."

"Okay."

Yin Moran watched Lin Qian’s figure as she got out of the car, rolled down the window, and looked deeply at her, only driving away after she had entered the company’s gates.

In the company lobby, Mi Xue’er watched Lin Qian get out of Yin Moran’s car, her delicate face full of envy.

"Lin Qian, are you here to work or to have a romance? Weren’t you supposed to discuss the L.D project? Why are you getting out of Yin Moran’s car?"

Hearing this, Lin Qian blinked and, seeing Mi Xue’er’s anger, smiled and said, "President Mi, you seem to forget I am now bearing heavy responsibilities, serving as the head of two companies. Why did I get out of Mr. Yin’s car? Because he wanted to discuss project details with me! He’s our valued benefactor; shouldn’t I serve him well?"

Valued benefactor?

Serve him well?

No matter how it sounded, there was a deeper meaning implied!

Mi Xue’er stared at Lin Qian with eyes that seemed to blaze with fire.

"Lin Qian, stop seducing him! I’m telling you, you’re just an old woman who’s already had a child; he would never like you!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Lin Qian smiled indifferently, "President Mi, actually I wish he wouldn’t cling to me! Because it’s really annoying when a man clings! How about you take over the cooperation project for both companies? But I’m just afraid Mr. Yin wouldn’t be happy with that!"

She could tell that Mi Xue’er was interested in Yin Moran.

She had a rival in love!

But so what? A certain man had already said someone like Mi Xue’er wasn’t a match for him!

As she saw Lin Qian leave proudly, Mi Xue’er’s face changed drastically, almost driving her mad with anger.

"Lin Qian, just you wait!"

An old woman who’s already had a child, daring to compete with her for a man!

Dream on!

Lin Qian returned to the sales department, not bothering with the stares from everyone, going on with her work.

"Lin Qian, did you see Hu Shen? Have you secured the contract?"

Xin Meng strutted over to Lin Qian’s workstation, looking down at her.

"Not yet."

Lin Qian replied blandly, filing the sorted documents.

"Is it not secured yet, or is there no hope of securing it at all?"

Xin Meng crossed her arms, looking at the calm Lin Qian, said, "Lin Qian, I’ve heard that Hu Shen has already discussed cooperation intentions with other companies. You should just stop being stubborn and prepare to leave the company early on! If you don’t have a company to go to, I can write you a recommendation letter."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qian wasn’t annoyed, but looked at Xin Meng and spoke steadily, "Minister Xin, don’t rush; hasn’t the deadline not arrived yet? If I don’t secure the contract by the deadline, I can come to ask for your recommendation letter. Hmm, I’m so hungry, I’m off to have a meal first!"

Waiting to see her make a fool of herself?

Well, she had to straighten her back.

Seeing Lin Qian’s composed demeanor, Xin Meng just felt like she punched a cotton wall, her anger having nowhere to go.

She stomped her feet and turned away.

After eating, Lin Qian returned to the sales department to continue organizing documents.

It wasn’t long before she received an internal call; Chu Yelin asked her to go to the president’s office.

Lin Qian blinked, put down her work, and got up to go to the president’s office.

In the president’s office, Chu Yelin stood by the window, hands in pockets, looking at the street view outside.

Lin Qian formally called out, "President Chu, you called for me."

Chu Yelin turned around, his gaze lightly glancing at her.

"Sit."

Lin Qian didn’t speak, nor did she stand; she directly sat on the sofa.

Chu Yelin personally made her a cup of tea, "Why did you go to the hospital?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qian answered truthfully, "Hu Shen took his son to see a psychologist. Since I didn’t meet him at L.D Company, I followed him there."

Chu Yelin had already guessed so, nodding, "How are things progressing? I’ve heard that Hu Shen intends to sign a contract with another company, and coincidentally, the dismissed Du Qian from our company seems to be working there."

"Yes, I also met Du Qian."

Lin Qian didn’t hide anything, briefly recounting the incident, including the contribution made by Lin Zirui.

Chu Yelin frowned, staring fixedly at her, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

He had heard from Xu Xinyi that Yin Moran accompanied Lin Qian to the hospital.

All thanks to Mi Xue’er, the fool, making it so the two of them could openly interact.

He felt so frustrated!

"President Chu, how is Doctor Xu doing?"

Lin Qian understood, knowing Chu Yelin would be upset because of Yin Moran, so she changed the subject.

Chu Yelin snapped back, speaking coldly, "She’s fine, just a minor injury."

"Really fine? But Jiao Jinhan seemed frantic about it."

Lin Qian’s almond-shaped eyes twinkled with mischief, "Chu Yelin, you should have seen it. When he finished checking on Yin Moran and didn’t see Doctor Xu afterwards, he was so anxious. He eventually found her, right? I think Doctor Xu is quite lucky to have met such an excellent and caring man. If they married, they would definitely be a loving couple."

Loving couple?

Chu Yelin’s face turned chilly.

"Jiao Jinhan is excellent? Just a doctor? In the future, he’ll have endless surgeries; whoever marries such a man would always be alone."

The man’s tone was cold, with a hint of mockery and unconscious anger and jealousy.

Lin Qian secretly found it amusing, "Chu Yelin, how come I sense a hint of jealousy from your words? Have you ever thought that maybe you actually like Xu Xinyi? It bothers you to see other men being attentive to her, right?"

He likes Xu Xinyi?

Chu Yelin’s heart skipped a beat, causing ripples.

Countless scenes flashed through his mind.

Bit by bit, everything involved that woman.

A piece of candy from childhood, a smiling face.

Silent companionship through the years seemed to always include her presence in his life.

Does he like her?

He doesn’t know!

He just feels accustomed!

Accustomed to her silently accompanying him without contention.

Does accustomed mean like?

"President Chu, I have things to do, so I’ll be off first."

Lin Qian saw Chu Yelin in a daze, stood up, smirked, and left calmly.

Will he face his own feelings?

She hoped he could face his feelings and then let her and her child go!

Lin Qian spent the afternoon in quite a pleasant mood.

Because she had hope.

Hope that Chu Yelin would suddenly come to his senses.

Toward the end of the day, Chu Yelin appeared in the sales department.
