Chapter 87: Chapter 87 How to Repay Me

At the mountain peak, the sun slowly rose from the horizon, tinting the edge of the sky red.

A breeze blew at dawn, signalling the arrival of a new day.

Under the lush canopy of an old tree, a young man and woman embraced each other as they sat leaning against the trunk, as tranquil as a landscape painting.

Lin Qian’s curled eyelashes fluttered, feeling the sunlight shining down on her, she gradually opened her eyes.

Her gaze met the vast expanse of the sky.

Looking up, she saw the man’s strong jawline.

As thoughts gathered back, Lin Qian was slightly startled before realizing she had fallen asleep in Yin Moran’s arms last night, not knowing when she had drifted off.

A flush spread across her face, and Lin Qian hurriedly sat up straight.

At this moment, Yin Moran also opened his eyes.

"Awake?"

The man’s voice was languid, carrying the husky depth of having just woken up, utterly sensual.

Lin Qian’s face heated up, she nodded and pointed towards the horizon, "The sun has risen."

"Mmm, watch the sunrise then head down the mountain?"

"Sure."

Lin Qian stood up, dusting off her clothes.

Seeing that Yin Moran remained seated, she couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you getting up?"

Yin Moran raised his eyes to Lin Qian, "Can’t get up. Last night, someone had such bad sleeping habits that they used my leg as a pillow."

Lin Qian: "..."

Really?

Did she?

She wanted to cover her face!

"Then I’ll help you get up."

Lin Qian reached out to Yin Moran with her little red face.

Yin Moran’s lips curved slightly as he took her hand.

With a slight tug, before Lin Qian could react, she stumbled unsteadily into Yin Moran’s arms.

Thump thump!

In the silent space, someone’s heart was beating fiercely.

Lin Qian scrambled to her feet, the blush on her little face deepening.

"I mean, you... you’re heavy. Why don’t you sit for a little longer, wait for the numbness to pass before getting up? I... I’ll go watch the sunrise."

Phew!

Her face felt so hot, she needed to catch a breath of wind!

Lin Qian hurried to the front, arms crossed over her chest, watching as the sun slowly revealed its full face, lighting up the world.

Behind her, Yin Moran’s lips quirked up with a smile as he looked down at his feet, as if he could still feel the touch of her dependency.

A flicker of amusement crossed his eyes, he leaned on the tree trunk and slowly stood up, stretching his feet.

The mountain wind was sharp, carrying the chill of the early morning.

Lin Qian wrapped her arms tightly around herself, took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air of the mountain top.

After a night passed, her emotions had steadily settled, her mood no longer as awful as before.

A warmth draped over her shoulders; it was Yin Moran’s jacket being placed over her.

Lin Qian felt a warm feeling inside, she turned her head towards him and smiled gratefully, "Thank you."

Thank you for his company last night.

Allowing her to quickly sort out her feelings.

"How should you thank me?"

Yin Moran keep his hands in his pockets, staring at the scenery ahead as he tossed out the words.

Lin Qian: "..."

How was she supposed to respond to that?

Her first instinct was actually: To offer herself in return!

Cough!

She had been led astray.

"Don’t worry, I won’t make you offer yourself in return."

Yin Moran, as if seeing through her thoughts, looked at her sidelong with a hint of a teasing smile.

Lin Qian glared at him with a look of mock anger.

Yin Moran raised an eyebrow slightly, leaning in closer with a soft and low voice, "Or is it that you want to offer yourself in return?"

"Yin Moran!"

Lin Qian rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and said, "I’m done wasting time with you. I need to get down the mountain; my two kids are waiting for me at home, and I have to go to work."

A new day had begun, and life had to continue as usual.

Her petite figure was wrapped in his coat, bustling about as she walked, having lost the dejected appearance from the previous night.

It seemed she was bouncing back pretty well.

Yin Moran curved his lips slightly, taking long strides to keep up.

"At the beginning of next month, my grandparents are coming back to the country to celebrate their seventieth birthday. You’ll be my date then, consider it your way of thanking me."

That statement slowed Lin Qian’s pace.

Be Yin Moran’s date for his elderly relatives’ seventieth birthday celebration?

What did that imply?

It would certainly lead to misunderstandings about their relationship!

Lin Qian pursed her lips and forced a dry laugh, "I’m of low status, afraid acting as your date might lower your standards. Qiao Xiya, Qiao Xiya is a big star; she would be the most suitable person to be your date."

Upon hearing this, Yin Moran gave her a glance, his handsome face clearly betraying a flicker of surprise.

"Lin Qian, how many times have I helped you? And how many times have you said you’d repay me? I’m just asking you to be my date, yet you’re making all these excuses. Are you afraid of people getting the wrong idea? Or to put it more bluntly, are you afraid Su Yu’an will misunderstand something?"

"No!"

Lin Qian denied urgently, "That’s a different matter. I’m not afraid of Su Yu’an misunderstanding anything; things between him and me... are over."

She truly was afraid of misunderstandings, but not from Su Yu’an.

No matter how beautiful the memories, the past was the past.

She could feel sadness and nostalgia, but she wouldn’t look back.

Because they all had new lives now.

She simply didn’t want to get entangled with any of them.

Because she wasn’t in their league.

Lin Qian’s words caused Yin Moran’s expression to relax.

Not being afraid of Su Yu’an misconstruing was good enough.

"Fine, if you don’t want to be my date, then just pay back the money. Two million, when will you return it?"

Two million?

Lin Qian was stunned, staring at Yin Moran as it dawned on her that he was referring to the gambling debt of Lin Hai that he had paid off.

"Could you give me some time? I can’t come up with that much money right now."

Yin Moran glanced at her, his sensual lips parting slightly, "Five hundred thousand. Be my date and we’ll consider five hundred thousand of the debt repaid."

Lin Qian: "..."

What an expensive date, but what a bargain.

This man!

A stone seemed to have been cast into the lake of Lin Qian’s heart, stirring ripples far and wide.

"Alright, it’s foolish to pass up a good deal, so it’s settled."

Lin Qian adjusted the hair beside her ears, touching her slightly warm earlobes.

Thinking of something, she swallowed and decided to be shamelessly persistent.

"Could I trouble you with one more thing?"

"What is it."

"You’re probably already informed by my father, four years ago I had triplets, and he sold my other two children."

Lin Qian spoke, "Among the people I know, you are the most capable and resourceful man I have ever met. So could I trouble you to help me find my two children?"

The most capable and resourceful man.

Her blunt words greatly pleased Yin Moran’s heart.

Yin Moran’s eyes glistened with color, his voice growing more magnetic, "You want to owe me another favor? Is this just another insincere promise of repayment?"

Lin Qian: "..."

Alright!

It seemed that her gratitude was indeed insincere every time.

But he lacked nothing, and she genuinely didn’t know how to repay him!

Lin Qian looked at Yin Moran with a pained expression on her face.

Yin Moran chuckled softly, the magnetic undertone of his voice lingering.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already had Han Chen look into the whereabouts of the two children."

So he was just teasing her.

He didn’t need her to repay him for anything.

Yin Moran, his image in her heart, suddenly grew even more towering!
