"All right, Mr. Yin, are you satisfied with how you look?"
Lin Qian glanced at the man in front of her, dressed in her brand's clothing, with a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
Indeed, the perfect clothes horse, he looked stunning in their clothes.
Her gaze drifted upwards, and upon meeting Yin Moran's deep, ink-like eyes, Lin Qian's smile stiffened.
What was that look?
It felt like he was about to devour her.
Ugh!
Surely, he must be scoffing at her in his mind again!
Lin Qian took a step back, "Mr. Yin, I swear to heaven that I absolutely didn't use Candy to get close to you. I'm not that shallow. I wouldn't, just because you have a good-looking face, be like those other women out there, shamelessly throwing myself at someone to be... you know."
It seemed like she was saying that all he had was a good-looking face.
Were all the women who liked him shallow people?
Yin Moran felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart, his black eyes sternly fixed on the woman in front of him, "One should recognize one's own worth. Don't forget what you said today."
"Don't worry, I appreciate an interesting soul in a man much more than just a good-looking face, rather than..."
Rather than having a funeral face all day long that scares people away.
Of course, these words she only dared to mutter in her heart.
"What do you mean, rather than what?"
Yin Moran sensed the implied meaning in Lin Qian's words, his magnetic voice ringing with a hint of danger as he slowly closed in on Lin Qian.
A bold woman, daring to insinuate that he was dull?
"Huh? I mean, I... I forgot... Ah!"
The man's sudden approach made Lin Qian retreat instinctively. She stumbled and began to fall backward.
A tight grip caught around her waist, and before Lin Qian could come to her senses, the man's handsome face was right before her eyes.
Their shallow breaths brushed against each other's faces, heating their skin.
The posture of the two at this moment was suggestive, the air simmering with a hint of warmth.
Lin Qian's heart uncontrollably skipped a beat, and a blush slowly crept up from the base of her ears to her cheeks.
Demon!
Truly a demon!
"Why is your face red? Didn't you say a good-looking face couldn't attract you?"
Yin Moran curved his lips, a playful smile flickering in his black eyes.
Lin Qian's face turned beet red as she stammered, "No, I... I'm just hot. You... let go of me... Ah!"
A cry of surprise sounded again as Lin Qian hurriedly grabbed the suddenly released arm of the man, never expecting Yin Moran to let go so abruptly.
"Let me go, and now you're clinging to me! Lin Qian, isn't your push-and-pull a bit too obvious?"
The man's magnetic voice was tinged with teasing, making Lin Qian's face alternate between red and white.
This damn man, toying with her!
"Ah..."
The door swung open with a plop, and the voice of the little baby rang out, cheerful yet annoyed.
"Um, Daddy, Mommy, I didn't see anything, you keep kissing!"
Candy stuck out her tongue and hurriedly left the room.
She still had two recently taken photos on her phone.
The little fellow, with her chubby hands, sent the two photos out.
"Big brother, big brother, Daddy and Mommy's moment was interrupted by me."
She had intended to sneak a couple of photos to show off to Lin Zirui.
Unfortunately, she had been too engrossed and accidentally pushed the door open.
Such a pity, she didn't capture a kissing photo of Daddy and Mommy.
"Candy, your daddy isn't allowed to bully my mommy. Your daddy has a bad temper, and I don't agree with your daddy and mommy being together."
Lin Zirui sent a voice message, causing Candy to get anxious.
"No worries, brother, as I said, once Daddy gets to know Mommy well, he'll be good to her. Please, please believe Candy this time, let Daddy and Mommy be together!"
"This... then I'll have to keep an eye on your daddy for a bit longer."
"Mm-hmm, big brother, thank you."
Candy grinned, looking at the photos she had just sneaked, a smugness flashing in her eyes.
With her in charge, Daddy and Mommy were bound to end up together.
Upstairs, Lin Qian straightened her clothes, feeling the heat on her face not subsided in the slightest.
"Mr. Yin, if there's nothing wrong with your clothes, I'll be leaving now."
Misunderstood by the little guy again, how helpless.
Yin Moran took off his coat without indicating agreement or disagreement.
As Lin Qian hurried toward the door, his dark eyes unwittingly glanced at his own well-defined hands.
Someone's waist... was really soft...
Downstairs, seeing Candy swinging her feet while seated on the couch and playing with her phone, Lin Qian cleared her throat awkwardly.
"Candy."
"Mommy, how come you came down so soon?"
Candy slid off the couch and ran towards Lin Qian, hugging her around the legs.
"Auntie finished her task, so she's going back to work now!"
Lin Qian gently stroked the little one's soft hair and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Are you leaving? Why not have lunch with us before you go back?"
Candy's face showed reluctance, wanting to keep Lin Qian there.
"No need, Auntie really has to go."
The little guy was really clingy, making her heart feel tender.
"All right then!"
Candy pouted her little red lips, but upon seeing a tall figure coming down the stairs, her big eyes rolled.
"Daddy, Mommy is going back, could you please give her a ride?"
Lin Qian: "..."
Having the distinguished Mr. Yin give her a ride?
No, thanks!
Lin Qian waved her hands repeatedly: "No need, Candy, I can just take a taxi back."
"But it's so far from downtown here, and it's not easy to get a taxi. Mommy, you need to earn money to support brother, why not take a free ride when it's offered?"
Lin Qian: "..."
She unexpectedly couldn't refute!
How could there be such a caring little baby?
But, this was probably just her wishful thinking.
That man would surely not agree.
"Daddy, are you heading to the office? It's on your way, so you must safely escort Mommy back."
On the way?
Clearly one to the south and the other to the north, complete opposites, right?
Yin Moran didn't expose his daughter's little schemes and gave Lin Qian a glance before turning and striding out.
Lin Qian: "..."
What did that mean?
Did he agree again?
That man seemed to be constantly changing her perception of him today.
"Mommy, hurry up, I'll send you and Daddy out."
Candy giggled, giving Yin Moran a big mental thumbs up.
As long as Daddy cooperates with her, marrying Mommy was just a matter of time.
Lin Qian said goodbye to Candy and got into Yin Moran's car.
In the spacious car, Lin Qian sat on one side, far away from Yin Moran.
"Um, Mr. Yin, just dropping me off at the nearest bus station would be fine, I can take the bus back myself."
"I don't like to say one thing and do another."
Yin Moran's gaze was fixed on the computer in front of him as he spoke indifferently.
Lin Qian: "..."
Was he implying that he couldn't just agree with Candy on the surface and then drop her off by the roadside?
Really... keeping his word, huh.
Lin Qian pursed her lips, watching the scenery outside and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
