The boy who had just wanted to chat with Yun Nuan picked up his phone and sent a message to his younger sister.
"Little sister, there are many talented young men in S City. How about I introduce you to a few? Let's skip Mr. Qin."
The other person replied instantly.
"Didn't I ask you to help me find out what kind of person Yun Nuan is? Didn't you ask her? No, I just want to be with President Qin!"
The boy secretly took a picture of Qin Yan peeling shrimp, of course he didn't dare to take a picture of her face.
"Mr. Qin is peeling shrimp for his girlfriend. Who do you think you are? He has a girlfriend. This kind of immoral behavior is not allowed in our family. I'll set you up on blind dates as soon as we get back. It'll end when you've figured it out."
After finishing educating his younger sister, he chatted happily with his friends and casually asked if there were any single young men out there, as he wanted to arrange a blind date for his sister.
The younger sister, who was being scolded, roared in helpless anger.
After lunch, everyone went back to rest. Yun Nuan, maintaining a good routine, started preparing for her afternoon nap. Qin Yan lay down next to her, gently coaxing her to sleep.
Yun Nuan nestled against his chest, her eyes closed, and mumbled incoherently; she was getting sleepy. But she still wanted to tell him about the Lin brothers, so Qin Yan only heard her speak intermittently.
"The two of them are from the Lin family. They said that Ms. Lin Yuyan is their aunt and Yun Nuan is their cousin."
They also told me the story of Ms. Lin Yuyan... They said a lot of things I didn't like, and then... I hit someone.
She glanced up at Qin Yan's expression. Qin Yan had been looking down at her, noticing the worry in her eyes. He patted her head.
"It's okay. He was rude and deserved to be taught a lesson, but don't be so impulsive next time. What if he hits you?"
The thought of this possibility made him want to deal with the two of them first.
"I was sure he wouldn't dare fight back. I know what I'm doing. Anyway, they wanted to take me to the capital, but I refused. Qin Yan, don't worry, I won't go with them."
His expression gradually became serious after hearing this. The two of them actually wanted to take Yun Nuan away. No wonder Yun Nuan hit them.
Yun Nuan only recounted the general events and did not tell Qin Yan that Lin Song'an hit him because he had slandered him.
She didn't want Qin Yan to be sad. If Qin Yan really didn't like her anymore in the future, it might mean their fate had come to an end. She was grateful for everything he had done. Qin Yan truly liked her and loved her; that was enough.
After finishing her conversation, Yun Nuan took a nap with peace of mind. The curtains in the room were tightly closed, and the sunlight outside was just right. Early summer was just around the corner, and time had passed so quickly without her realizing it.
"Baby, baby," Qin Yan called twice, but she just whimpered and turned over without waking up. Qin Yan tucked her in, kissed the top of her head, and left the bedroom.
He instructed Xiao Yunli to contact the Lin brothers, and regardless of their motives, no one could take Yun Nuan away from him.
When Lin Qixiu received the message, he went to the appointment without bringing Lin Song'an with him.
Xiao Yunli had been waiting at the door for a long time. After seeing Qin Yan come out and look at the door, he quietly asked...
"Did you lull them to sleep?"
Qin Yan ignored his words and instead asked, "Have you made contact with the person?"
Xiao Yunli patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about me. You two can just chat at that coffee shop this morning."
Qin Yan finally gave him a look that could be described as appreciative, and patted him on the shoulder.
"You've worked hard, go and rest."
"Hey, you're going by yourself? No way. I also want to meet the Lin family. You can't do it alone."
Xiao Yunli chased after him and said, "To be honest, I want to see what they're doing here. They're so arrogant and bullying people."
"I only need to speak with him for personal reasons; I'll let you know later," he replied.
Xiao Yunli hesitated. It was indeed inconvenient for him to be present and listen to private matters. After pondering for a while, he could only give up.
"Alright, be careful. I'll wait for your message when I get back."
Qin Yan chuckled lightly, "Thanks."
Lin Qixiu had just arrived at the coffee shop when Qin Yan also appeared. The two grown men, both in positions of power, clashed in aura, their strength evenly matched.
Lin Qixiu looked at the person who came and spoke.
"Did Mr. Qin come alone?"
Lin Qixiu tried to see from behind him that there was another person coming, but after waiting for a long time, only Qin Yan came. He found this rather interesting.
"Mr. Qin, do you want to seek justice for Yun Nuan? Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, these are family matters, and it's not appropriate for an outsider like you to interfere."
Qin Yan was dressed in a light black jacket and casual trousers, in contrast to Lin Qixiu, who was still in a suit. Qin Yan exuded a relaxed and composed air, and upon hearing Lin Qixiu's words, he replied with a dismissive smile.
"President Lin is mistaken. To Nuan Nuan, you are the outsiders, and uninvited outsiders at that."
Lin Qixiu glared at him sharply. His aunt had encountered a scumbag, and he didn't want her daughter to suffer the same fate. Although Qin Yan wasn't a poor boy like Yun Shanhe, he had seen too much of what was going on in the industry, especially among business people like them, most of whom prioritized profit.
Even when he advised Yun Nuan, he mostly made suggestions based on his own interests, without ever considering what Yun Nuan thought.
"President Qin invited me here just to talk about this? I was thinking that after bringing Yun Nuan back to the Lin family, there was no need for us to meet again, or perhaps it wasn't the right time for us to meet."
After Qin Yan sat down, he asked the waiter to bring him a cup of Americano. It had been so long since he had coffee that he couldn't help but frown after taking a sip. He had never thought Americano was so bitter before.
During this period, he mostly drank hot tea or hot water while working. When Yun Nuan saw him drinking coffee, she was reminded of the days when she drank Chinese medicine.
That taste was all too familiar to her. Every time Qin Yan took a sip, she found it extremely bitter, and her little face would involuntarily scrunch up. Qin Yan found her expression amusing and couldn't resist taking a few more sips to watch her change expressions.
It wasn't until Yun Nuan couldn't help but ask him if it was bitter, and why he was drinking something so bitter when he wasn't sick. Qin Yan didn't remember what he answered, but he gradually started to reduce his coffee consumption afterward.
"Is the rule in Beijing to just snatch people away? They take people away against their will. President Lin has already snatched them into my house. Do you expect me to remain indifferent?"
He smiled, a disdainful curve to his lips. Not only was his smile disdainful, but his eyes were also piercing, and his tone was unfriendly. He pushed his coffee forward, not intending to take another sip.
Both men were unwilling to back down. If Lin Qixiu were to face Qin Yan in the business world, they might appreciate each other. However, in their private competition, they already loathe each other.
"Yun Nuan is a member of my Lin family. Returning to Beijing is the best choice for her. Mr. Qin is just her boyfriend, but my Lin family has given her far more than that. Mr. Qin, you don't want Yun Nuan to be alone in the future, without any family, do you?"
"Once we're back with the Lin family, we'll be her family. She'll have a share in the Lin family's shares, and she'll live a better life than she did with you. I'm confident of that. Do you, Mr. Qin, have that confidence?"
