Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!
Chapter 78: Gathering

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Gathering

Lin Qian had just sent a message when she tossed her phone aside and started cooking.

Far away in another country, Yin Moran was looking at a photo on his phone and couldn’t help but slightly curve his lips upward, the gloominess on his face gradually dissipating.

As night fell, Han Chen brought over a huge pile of candy and daily necessities.

After thanking him, Lin Qian helped the two little ones bathe and got everything tidied up.

"Mummy, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Candy, holding her doll and sporting freshly blown-dry soft hair, asked with big, blinking eyes.

"Sure, let’s sleep together tonight."

Lin Qian didn’t mind, and smiled as she pinched the little one’s tender cheeks, her heart melting.

"Yay, Zirui, I’m going to sleep with Mummy tonight!"

Candy, holding Lin Qian’s hand, declared boastfully to Lin Zirui.

Lin Zirui’s little eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Lin Qian with a glint of longing in his eyes.

He wanted to sleep with Mummy too!

Lin Qian understood immediately and smiled, "Baby, do you want to sleep with Mummy tonight?"

"Yes."

Lin Zirui answered quickly.

"But didn’t you say you were already a little man and not a three-year-old, and that you must sleep alone at night?"

Lin Qian was in a good mood and teased him on purpose.

"Mummy, just for tonight, let it be an exception."

Lin Zirui’s ears tinted red, his tone carrying a hint of coquettishness.

"Alright, Mummy was just teasing."

Lin Qian laughed out loud. "Mummy would love nothing more than to fall asleep smelling your milky scent every night; I’m just afraid you’d find me bothersome."

"Mummy, Candy doesn’t find you bothersome. You can smell Candy’s milky scent every night."

Candy lifted up her little arms, laughing like a blooming flower.

"Haha, alright, alright, let’s go to our room."

Lin Zirui: "...."

It seemed like he had dug his own grave.

Why did he ever boast about being a little man!

He wanted Mummy to smell his milky scent as she slept!

...

The next day.

Lin Qian got up early, preparing breakfast for the little twosome.

By the time they were almost done eating, Han Chen had already arrived to take them to school.

After seeing the three of them off, Lin Qian got ready and took a taxi to work at the MXL class.

"Manager Lin, you’re at work?"

"Manager Lin, is your foot okay?"

"Manager Lin, who brought you here? Was it your guardian angel?"

The staff at the store chattered and joked.

She had told the manager about her injury, hospitalization, and Yin Moran’s rescue, which the manager must have relayed to the staff.

Now, the staff were all gossiping.

"Alright, don’t act like old busybodies."

The manager laughed and chided, turning to Lin Qian, "Lin Qian, now that you’re back, today will be my last day standing in for you."

Hearing this, Lin Qian hugged her gratefully, "Manager, thank you so much for going the extra mile and staying a few more days because of me."

"Manager Lin, everyone is sad to see the manager leave. How about we all go out tonight for a farewell party?"

A female voice suggested, and Lin Qian turned to see a worker named Chen Fei.

Her eyes drifted down to the badge on her chest.

Assistant Manager?

"Lin Qian, ever since Shen Bing left, the position of assistant manager has remained vacant. Chen Fei has been a top performer in sales for the past few months, so I decided to promote her. You see..."

The manager explained.

Lin Qian smiled and nodded, "You’ve worked hard, manager. Then tonight, let me treat everyone, let’s go to ’Meili’?"

She had just returned to the country and needed to integrate into the new team.

A lot had happened recently and she hadn’t had the time to organize anything.

Now that everything was settling down, it was time to arrange a gathering to liven things up.

"Wow, typical Manager Lin, always so grand!"

"Sure, that’s Meili, Manager Lin is going to splurge today."

"..."

A group of employees chatted and laughed, all eagerly awaiting the evening.

"Manager Lin, I look forward to learning more from you in the future."

Chen Fei smiled warmly, saw Lin Qian heading to the break room, and quickly helped her inside.

"Don’t say that, your experience is no less than mine, let’s work hard together."

Lin Qian smiled, feeling that this girl was very clever.

"Sure, Manager Lin, I’ll do my best. I’m also looking forward to getting a big red envelope under your leadership by the end of the year."

"Alright, get the big red envelope."

"..."

The night arrived as expected.

Lin Qian first made sure their two little ones were settled in at home, then instructed them to lock the doors and windows and wait for her at home while she took a taxi to Meili.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she saw several employees waiting for her from afar.

"Manager Lin, you’re here. This place is too upscale, we didn’t feel right going inside."

A few employees approached her laughing.

Lin Qian smiled, reported the membership number she had used last time, and led the group inside.

Meili had a grand layout.

The first floor was a dance floor, with private booths on both sides.

As Lin Qian, led by a waiter, was about to head to a booth reserved in advance, she heard a voice of surprise.

"Lin?"

Lin?

The only person who would call her that was Nangong Li.

Lin Qian turned around and indeed saw Nangong Li dressed in a flashy purple-red shirt, walking over with a charming manner.

"Mr. Li."

Lin Qian gave a slight smile and greeted him.

"Lin, are you guys here for a gathering?"

Nangong Li looked around, throwing a charming glance at the starry-eyed females, causing them to gasp.

"Yes, we’re here for a dinner."

What a devil!

Lin Qian chuckled inside.

"Go ahead, have as much fun as you’d like today, I’ll cover all the expenses."

Nangong Li grinned rakishly, thinking he could go and brag to someone later.

"No need, Mr. Li, it’s not quite appropriate."

"What is not appropriate? Just consider it a token of my gratitude for the last time you helped me."

Nangong Li moved a bit closer, winking at Lin Qian.

The last time he needed help?

Wasn’t it just looking after Yin Moran?

Thinking back, how was it helping him?

It was clearly Nangong Li intentionally setting her up with Yin Moran.

Lin Qian couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Mr. Li, actually, Mr. Yin and I..."

"Alright, it’s late, don’t waste the good times, enjoy yourselves with your employees."

Nangong Li seemed to know what she was about to say, quickly cut her off, winked at her, then flashed a killer smile at the female employees and strode away.

Once he left, the employees bubbled over.

"Wow, Manager Lin, who was that? So enchanting, unbelievable."

"Yes, yes, Manager Lin, you know so many handsome and talented young men, each one more charismatic than the last."

"..."

Lin Qian, overwhelmed by the enthusiastic inquiries of several people, nearly couldn’t cope, "Stop, he’s the owner of this bar, Nangong Li."

"So that’s what Nangong Li looks like? What a pity, just now I should have taken a photo of him to show off to my friends."

"..."

The employees joked and laughed, and soon the waiter brought over the drinks and dishes.

The wine was a fine vintage, and the dishes were delicate appetizers.

Clearly, it was something Nangong Li had specially ordered.

Lin Qian pursed her lips, an image of Yin Moran’s handsome face flashing through her mind.

This must be him pulling some strings again!
