Chapter 745 Qin Mo Wants to Compete
"I'll arrange a few bodyguards around you," Qin Mo said after a brief silence. "Or I can talk to the police and tell them to be more careful about this."
Lin Tan initially wanted to refuse.
But thinking about her father's shameless behavior, she had some reservations.
"Will it be troublesome?" she asked.
“No trouble at all,” Qin Mo said. “This area is basically managed by Ning Jing. I have some connections with him, so I can just ask him to make the arrangements.”
"Then I'll trouble you." Lin Tan felt increasingly guilty towards him.
Qin Mo's heart softened: "It's no trouble at all."
He was willing to do anything to help her.
Lin Tan: "I'll treat you to dinner this weekend."
Qin Mo: "Okay."
Lin Tan: "What would you like to eat? Are there any particular dietary restrictions?"
"Anything is fine." Qin Mo hadn't expected to have so much contact with her tonight. "You can arrange it."
Lin Tan nodded.
The two chatted for a while afterward.
They chatted about their work for a while, and then talked about how their days had been.
As they chatted, Qin Mo felt all the fatigue from the day disappear.
He sat there looking at Lin Tan, his eyes filled with her every smile and frown.
Lively and vivid.
"What's wrong?" Lin Tan noticed his gaze. "Is there something on my face?"
Qin Mo: "No."
Lin Tan pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.
She knew what Qin Mo was thinking.
But feelings... she really couldn't give them.
"Do you have anything to eat here?" Qin Mo hesitated for a moment before speaking. Because it was the first time he had spoken to someone like this, there was a slight awkwardness in his face and eyes. He even blurted out the second half of his sentence the moment he said it: "Never mind if you don't have anything."
"Yes," Lin Tan replied. "You haven't had dinner?"
Qin Mo: "Mm."
Lin Tan stood up: "I'll make it for you."
Just as I was about to get some ingredients from the refrigerator, I remembered that I had been working overtime recording these past two days and hadn't added any fresh ingredients, so I changed my question to, "Can we have noodles? There aren't many vegetables."
"Okay." Qin Mo nodded slightly.
Lin Tan immediately went to prepare.
Watching her head towards the kitchen, Qin Mo's gentle eyes darkened slightly.
I'm sorry, Lin Tan.
Logically, he shouldn't bother him too much.
After all, based on the recording she heard last time, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Can--
The conversation he had with the property manager when he arrived involuntarily came to mind.
Ten minutes ago.
“Miss Lin Tan? She just went back,” the property manager said proactively. “She went back alone.”
Qin Mo walked inside: "Where's his father?"
Property manager: "They're gone."
Qin Mo: "Okay,"
Property Manager: "By the way, Mr. Qin."
Qin Mo stopped in his tracks.
The property manager looked at him hesitantly, her eyes filled with mixed emotions: "There's something I'm not sure if I should say."
Qin Mo: "Go ahead."
"I was worried that Miss Lin Tan's father might be arguing with her, so I secretly followed them to take a look." The property manager hesitated, afraid that Qin Mo would accuse him of invading Lin Tan's privacy, so he quickly added, "I assure you that I only looked from a distance and did not eavesdrop on their conversation."
Qin Mo was preoccupied with Lin Tan's matter: "What did you see?"
“A man and several bodyguards.” The property manager watched Qin Mo’s micro-expressions as he said this, and only after seeing that Qin Mo’s expression did not change did he continue, “Miss Lin Tan’s father was taken away by that man’s bodyguards.”
"A man?" Qin Mo's voice was rather cold.
Property Manager: "He looks about your age, and he's quite handsome."
After saying this, he coughed lightly twice.
Not only handsome.
That man must be either rich or noble.
After all, that kind of temperament is something that most people can't fake.
"What does she look like?" Qin Mo was worried that Lin Tan would run into trouble.
"He wore glasses, had a gentle and refined appearance, and was well-mannered," the property manager said, recalling Huo Sinian. "He was about the same height as you."
Almost instantly.
A person immediately came to Qin Mo's mind.
He took out his phone and tapped it twice, bringing up Huo Sinian's photo: "Is it him?"
The property manager leaned closer for a look, and after recognizing him, exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes!! That's him!"
Qin Mo felt a sudden chill run through his body.
"You know him..." The property manager's words trailed off, and his expression gradually returned to seriousness.
Look at President Qin's expression.
Could that person be a love rival?
"What did he do?" Qin Mo asked.
"I didn't do anything, I just chatted with Miss Lin Tan for a while." When the property manager arrived, Huo Sinian's bodyguards had already arrested the teenagers, so they were unaware that Lin Tan had any connection with those people.
Qin Mo: "Did he take Lin Tan's father away?"
Property Manager: "Yes."
Thinking about these things.
Qin Mo was filled with a mix of emotions.
Perhaps his approach was troublesome for Lin Tan, but he didn't want to keep his distance any longer.
Even though it was offensive and impolite, he wanted to get closer to her and have more contact with her without causing her any real trouble.
When they met again, he didn't want her to be bullied by Huo Sinian again.
He wanted to be her support, to be her help in everything, and even more so, to be the first person she would think of when she encountered trouble.
After thinking it through, he suppressed all his emotions and decided to fight for himself.
He stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Seeing Lin Tan busy at work, he took the kitchen utensils from her and said, "I'll do it."
Lin Tan: "It's alright, it'll be fine in a bit."
"Have you eaten?" Qin Mo knew she had been getting off work late these past few days, after all, Qin Jiangye was constantly messaging her like a sparrow. "If you haven't eaten, I'll cook more."
"Okay," Lin Tan replied.
After that, Qin Mo took over the cooking.
The noodle sauce was delicious and fragrant; just the aroma alone was enough to whet one's appetite.
Twenty minutes later.
The noodles were served on the table.
After taking a bite, Lin Tan gave him a thumbs up and praised him generously: "It's delicious. I didn't know you had this skill."
"The more you do, the better your skills will become." Qin Mo was confident in his culinary skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to take the plunge.
Lin Tan: "Do you cook often?"
Qin Mo: "Mm."
Lin Tan was a little surprised.
Isn't Qin Mo the eldest son of the Qin family?
With money and power, hiring a nanny shouldn't be difficult for him.
"When the company gets busy, I often work overtime until very late," Qin Mo explained, adding, "Sometimes I don't have time to eat, so I just cook something for myself after get off work."
He doesn't like outsiders staying at his house.
She also doesn't like it when someone comes over to cook when he's not around.
So most of the time I just eat a couple of meals by myself.
Anyway, he doesn't crave food.
"I didn't expect President Qin to cook for himself." Lin Tan made a little joke on purpose.
Qin Mo's expression was gentle.
Lin Tan looked at him: "Qin Mo."
Qin Mo: "Hmm?"
Lin Tan, preoccupied with her own affairs, decided to talk to someone: "Do you think I'm more suited to be an actress or a voice actor?"
