Chapter 8: Chapter 8 I've Found Mommy
"Daddy, you're here."
Candy rushed towards Yin Moran.
Yin Moran picked up his daughter, unusually without a smile on his face.
His hand even gave a not too gentle, not too light pat on her bottom.
"Candy, why did you run off again? Do you know that's very dangerous?"
Her bottom hurt.
Candy's delicate little eyebrows furrowed, knowing that Yin Moran was angry, and she clung to his neck coyly.
"Daddy, I've already found Mommy. If you bring Mommy and big brother home, I promise I won't run off again."
Yin Moran: "..."
In other words, if he didn't bring this mother and son home, she'd run off again next time!
"Yin Xiaoxuan!"
His tone was deep with a strong warning, causing Candy to pout her red lips and uneasily wriggle her little bottom.
Daddy was very angry.
He only called her full name when he was extremely mad.
But she really wanted to bring Mommy and big brother home.
"Candy, is this what you told me, that your dad is very good to you? So good that he spanks you?"
Although it wasn't right for Candy to run away from home, he just didn't like seeing him scold Candy.
And he had scolded Mommy just now too.
This man, he's not fit to be a father!
Lin Zirui crossed his arms, pouted and looked disdainfully at Yin Moran.
"No, Daddy usually loves me a lot, just now he was in a hurry!"
Candy hurriedly spoke up for her dad, then turned towards Yin Moran, "Daddy, Zirui doesn't have a dad, and Candy doesn't have a mom, can't you really take them home with us?"
Mommy was so kind, as long as they lived together, Daddy would definitely get to know Mommy, and he wouldn't always have a cold face.
"Cannot."
Yin Moran spoke coldly, his gaze sweeping past Lin Qian and her son, then he turned and left holding Candy.
"Daddy, I don't want to go home, it's icy cold and not lively at all. I want to be with Mommy and big brother."
Candy pouted, with tears welling up in her eyes, she looked at Lin Qian pitifully, calling out, "Mommy!"
Lin Qian felt an unpleasant sensation in her heart and hurriedly followed.
"Candy, be good, promise Auntie that you won't run off like today, okay? If you miss Auntie and your brother, call me and your brother, alright?"
"Okay, I'll listen to Mommy. Goodbye, Mommy. Goodbye, brother!"
Candy obediently wiped her tears and, perched on Yin Moran's shoulder, waved her little hand towards Lin Qian and her son.
"Goodbye, Candy."
Lin Zirui also felt reluctant and watched as Yin Moran carried Candy away until they disappeared at the elevator entrance.
Sister Candy is so cute.
It's a pity that her dad has a bit of a bad temper.
"Mommy, do you like that uncle?"
Lin Zirui closed the door and seriously asked Lin Qian.
"Huh? Baby, don't you start acting up like Candy. You know, Mommy only likes you, and your brother and sister whose whereabouts are unknown. In this lifetime, just being with my treasures is enough."
Ever since her heart was hurt, she had given up on men.
Let alone Yin Moran, a man so arrogant and domineering, wasn't even on the same level as her!
"I understand, Mommy. Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to locate my brother and sister."
Lin Zirui's little face was stern and serious.
"Good boy."
Lin Qian hugged her son, feeling both comforted and heartbroken.
Where could her other two children be?
Meanwhile, Yin Moran drove back to the Yin Family mansion with an unhappy Yin Xiaoxuan.
The grand villa was ablaze with lights at the moment.
Servants stood respectfully, waiting to welcome the master and the young master home.
In the center of the room, a woman with a sweet face and a tall figure dressed in a body-hugging dress was eagerly waiting.
As she saw the adult and child return, she hurriedly greeted them, "Thank the heavens, Moran, you've finally brought Candy home safe and sound."
She had only taken the little one to the restroom, and when they came out, the little thing had vanished.
Qiao Xiya's beautiful apricot eyes were red, wiping the corners she looked at Candy, "Candy, how could you just run off like that? You scared auntie to death! Don't you know if you were taken by human traffickers, you wouldn't see daddy again?"
Most importantly, this little thing was Yin Moran's precious little bumpkin, and if she lost her while in her care, she'd be in big trouble.
Hearing this, Candy pouted her little red lips and looked at her with disdain.
"Auntie, stop acting. You don't really care about me. You'd rather I disappear. Let me tell you, I've already found mommy, so don't even think about becoming my mommy. Daddy won't marry you either, so in the future, don't bother daddy anymore."
This auntie was a big star, so annoying, always cozying up to daddy.
Did she think she was too young to understand?
She didn't like her at all.
Even if she was nice to her normally, it was only to get close to daddy through her.
She didn't want such a hypocritical woman to be her mommy.
"What do you mean you've found mommy? Candy, have you lost your mind? Moran, did Candy run into something unclean out there?"
Hearing the little one's milky voice, Qiao Xiya's heart jumped, and she spoke somewhat thoughtlessly.
The little thing was left at the Yin Family's villa doorstep four years ago.
No one knew who her biological mother was.
But now, she kept saying that she had found mommy.
Could it be that Candy's biological mother had appeared?
No!
No one could enter Yin Moran's life.
The woman by Yin Moran's side could only be her!
"Ya, how can you talk like that?"
Yin Moran's tone grew stern as he handed Candy to the butler, signaling him to take her to freshen up.
"No, Moran, that's not what I meant. I..."
"It's fine, Candy is okay, please go back now."
Yin Moran unbuttoned the top two buttons of his collar, rubbing his brow.
"But..."
Qiao Xiya started to speak but stopped; when she caught the furrowed brow of Yin Moran, she ultimately swallowed the rest of her words.
She stepped forward, pretending to dust off a non-existent speck of dust from Yin Moran, playing the frail card, "I'm sorry, Moran, I didn't take good care of Candy, are you blaming me?"
She knew this man liked obedient women.
Playing weak was no issue for her.
No matter how anxious she was inside, she would always appear calm and collected.
"No, don't overthink it, go back now."
Yin Moran's tone softened, and he curved his lips at Qiao Xiya before turning to stride upstairs.
Watching the man's tall figure, Qiao Xiya clenched her fist, a gleam of darkness flashing in her eyes.
Where had the little thing gone?
And who was this woman she called mommy?
If he wouldn't tell her, she would find out herself.
This distinguished man was hers, and no one was going to take him away!
Upstairs, Yin Moran entered his study, and his tall and erect figure stood by the window, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket to light it.
In the curling smoke, his handsome and innocent face became blurred.
After a while, he took out his phone and called his assistant.
"Han Chen, help me check out Lin Qian's information."
As she wished, she had successfully caught his attention.
He certainly did not want any dangerous personalities to emerge around his daughter.
