Hearing Lin Qian's voice, Candy excitedly slid off the couch and happily flung herself toward Lin Qian.
"Mama!"
Lin Qian quickly caught her and looked around, making sure they were alone.
"Candy, how did you end up here?"
Could the little cutie have run off again?
"I missed my mama, so I followed Mama's car here."
Candy's black, shiny eyes looked at Lin Qian, twinkling with pride.
She actually followed her car all the way here!
Lin Qian remembered that Yin Moran was also at the hotel.
So the little one must have seen her and Zirui leaving and followed them all the way.
That was quite bold.
"Candy, next time..."
"She's not your mama."
Lin Zirui didn't wait for Lin Qian to finish, quickly pulling her aside, and he looked discontentedly at Candy, "She's my mama."
The little sister might be cute, but mama was his.
Apart from his missing brother or sister, no one else could vie for his mama.
"Big brother, Candy is very pitiful, I've never had a mama. Can you let your mama be my mama too?"
Candy's fair little hand took hold of Lin Zirui's, and her watery, big eyes looked at him so pitifully, it was hard to refuse.
Lin Zirui scratched his head, his big eyes rolling around, "Little sister, do you only have a daddy and no mama?"
"Mhm, Candy only has a daddy, no mama. Big brother, do you have a daddy?"
Candy asked with her big, sparkling eyes.
The little sister had no daddy, and he only had a mama.
Perhaps it was worth asking about the situation.
Lin Zirui's lovely dark pupils flashed, "I only have a mama and no daddy. Little sister, is your daddy handsome? Is your family rich? Most importantly, is he a playboy? The kind who has lots of girlfriends?"
"My daddy is super handsome, and we're super rich. A playboy? Mmm... Daddy doesn't have a girlfriend. Big brother, if you let your mama be my mama, then I can let my daddy be your daddy too."
Great.
Big brother didn't have a daddy, and she didn't have a mama.
They could live together, all four of them.
As for daddy's girlfriend, that annoying auntie wasn't daddy's girlfriend at all.
"Well, I still need to evaluate what kind of person your daddy is."
Lin Zirui sounded utterly serious despite his young age.
Standing to the side, Lin Qian listened to the children's innocent chatter, speechless, with her hand on her forehead.
The two cuties were trying to play matchmaker for her!
Just thinking that Yin Moran was the one at the other end of the match, Lin Qian couldn't help but rub her arms.
She remembered Shen Bing saying that the Ice Lump did have a girlfriend.
Even if he didn't have a girlfriend, with his explosive temper, she preferred to stay well away from him.
"Alright, Little Candy, you've been out for quite a while; your daddy must be worried. Quick, tell me your daddy's phone number, and I'll call him to come and pick you up."
At these words, Candy nodded, "Okay, Mama. Since you and Daddy have hugged and slept together, I'll make sure Daddy takes responsibility for you!"
Lin Qian: "..."
Lin Zirui: "..."
One laughed, the other was astonished.
"Little Candy, Auntie explained to you already, I accidentally fell on the ground, there's really nothing between your daddy and me!"
"Mama, hurry and tell me what's going on! A man took advantage of you!"
"..."
When Yin Moran received Lin Qian's call, he was stern-faced, watching surveillance footage in the hotel's monitoring room.
Today his sister had returned to the country, and they were throwing a welcome banquet for her at the hotel.
He had only gone to change his shirt that Lin Qian had dirtied when his daughter had disappeared.
He didn't expect her to have followed Lin Qian's car all the way there.
"This Lin Qian is truly no small trouble!"
Hurrying out of the hotel, Yin Moran drove nonstop towards Lin Qian's apartment.
Inside the apartment, Lin Zirui was showing Candy around his room.
"Brother, brother, did you assemble this LEGO yourself? Can I play with it with you in the future?"
Candy's big eyes sparkled with anticipation as she looked at the assorted LEGO toys and asked.
"Of course, go ahead and play."
Lin Zirui spoke generously, and was already on his computer while Candy played.
So Little Candy's daddy is called Yin Moran?
The man who was so fierce to Mommy in the hotel restroom?
He had to find out what kind of man he was.
Lin Zirui's fingers flew across the keyboard, and soon enough, information about Yin Moran popped up.
Yin Moran, the heir to the Yin Family empire, with businesses all around the world, wealthy enough to rival nations...
Young, handsome, unmarried...
Lin Zirui stroked his little chin, pondering as he stared at the face on the screen which bore some resemblance to his own.
"Candy, come here a moment, is this your daddy?"
This man was unmarried, yet had a Little Candy.
He bore a slight resemblance to him and Little Candy as well.
Could he be his biological father?
Mommy returned to the country this time to find the brother and sister she lost four years ago, so could Little Candy be his sister?
"That's my daddy."
Candy climbed up next to Lin Zirui, a face of pride beaming, "Little brother, I didn't trick you! My daddy is handsome and good at making money, doesn't he match well with mommy?"
"But he has a bad temper."
Lin Zirui certainly remembered how fierce he was towards his mother at the hotel.
"Uh, little brother, my daddy is really nice to me. He's only cold to people he doesn't know. Once he gets to know mommy, he'll definitely be as nice to her as he is to me."
Candy thought for a moment and quickly vouched for her own daddy.
Lin Zirui was skeptical.
Mommy was so nice, he didn't want her to have to pander to a man.
He wanted to help Mommy find a man who would love her with all his heart.
And most importantly, he wanted to help Mommy fulfill her wish to find her twins, her own brother and sister.
At that moment, the doorbell rang outside.
"It must be daddy."
Candy was a bit excited, exchanging a glance with Lin Zirui as she toddled towards the door.
Lin Zirui shut down the computer and hurriedly followed her out.
Outside, Lin Qian opened the door to find Yin Moran's tall figure entering like a king, his presence utterly commanding.
"Where's my daughter?"
Yin Moran's deep black eyes fixed coolly on Lin Qian.
"She's inside." Lin Qian quickly stepped aside to let him through.
Yin Moran stood still, his gaze sharp as a blade as he looked at Lin Qian.
"Lin Qian, I hope you remember who you are. Keep to yourself and don't harbor any unwarranted thoughts."
A married woman repeatedly using his daughter for her own gain was utterly reprehensible.
"What unwarranted thoughts could I possibly have?"
Lin Qian pointed to her own nose, almost laughed with frustration as she watched Yin Moran's proud face pass her by.
Did he think she was using Candy to get close to him?
Could he not be so presumptuous!
"You know very well what you're thinking."
Yin Moran spoke coldly, but his stern face finally softened slightly as he saw his daughter emerge from the room.
