Chapter 431 Lin Tan and Qin Mo

"You've changed a lot," Lin Tan stated rationally and objectively.

Qin Mo was about to speak.

“Me too.” Lin Tan continued, “We are all different now than we were a few years ago, and I am no longer the Lin Tan you liked when you were young.”

“But you are still you,” Qin Mo corrected her.

"What do you like about me?" Lin Tan asked him seriously. Qin Mo's confession had indeed been quite a shock to her, but after calming down, she felt that this declaration of love was too hasty and impulsive.

They hadn't seen each other for four or five years.

Their last meeting ended in an argument.

He confessed his feelings the first time they met after so many years.

"Can you tell whether your feelings for me are a lingering obsession from five years ago, or genuine affection for me as I am now?" Lin Tan was seriously considering this question.

"I can't tell." Qin Mo spoke the truth. He wouldn't lie about matters of the heart. "I only know that I worry and miss you when I can't see you, and my heart races uncontrollably when I see you."

As they were talking.

He pointed to his heart.

"I've already had someone take care of your sister's matter," Qin Mo added. "You're no longer under Huo Sinian's control."

"Thank you." Lin Tan said sincerely from the bottom of her heart.

Qin Mo stared at her.

I wanted to get the answer I needed from her.

But as time passed, Lin Tan remained silent.

“You…” He could only try again.

"I have a scene to film soon." Lin Tan stood up, deliberately maintaining a distance and being polite. "If there's nothing else, Mr. Qin, you can go back now."

"Lin Tan." Qin Mo didn't know what she was worried about.

Lin Tan looked up at him.

All I could see was unfamiliarity and a sense of distance; there was nothing else in my eyes.

The shock and confusion that flashed through his mind just now seemed like Qin Mo's illusion.

"You go ahead and do your thing." Qin Mo gave in, his usual icy demeanor returning. "I'll stay here for the next few days, and we can talk whenever you're ready."

"No need," Lin Tan refused.

Qin Mo's attitude was firm: "That's it."

After saying that, he strode out, his face and eyes exuding a cold and aloof aura that kept people at a distance.

Lin Tan stayed in the room for a while without going out. Qin Mo's appearance threw her heart into disarray, and his words stirred up waves of turmoil in her long-calm heart.

She met Qin Mo when she was sixteen.

That day, she had a big fight with her family because her parents went to the school to talk to the teacher about expelling her. She ran out and bumped into Qin Mo, who had just arrived in their town, and knocked him down.

That collision bound her and Qin Mo tightly together.

Later on.

As she got to know him better, she learned that he had come here to recuperate from an illness. At that time, she didn't know he was Qin Mo from the Qin family and thought he was just an ordinary person.

As they spent more time together, they became increasingly familiar with each other and talked more and more.

But Qin Mo didn't stay in town for long. He left after that summer vacation. When he left, he asked her for a photo, saying that he was afraid he would forget what she looked like after not seeing her for so long.

She knew he was joking, but she still gave him a school-issued ID photo.

That was the only photo she had.

After that, they chatted on their phones every day, sharing their daily experiences. They supported each other through all the low points and became each other's most important emotional support.

Then, on the day she finished her college entrance exam, Qin Mo told her, "Fill out your college application with my city."

She agreed without hesitation and confessed her feelings to him at that time.

But the good times didn't last long.

Her mother found out about her relationship with Qin Mo.

After they had been talking for about half a month, her mother came over and told her about the difference in their social status, forcing her to break up with Qin Mo.

Back then, she was naive and thought that love could conquer all, but she underestimated the power of capital. Qin Mo's mother turned her life upside down with just a little money and did everything she could to force her to break up with Qin Mo.

She wanted to tell Qin Mo about it, but he told her that he was working on an important project with a professor and wouldn't be able to contact her for a while.

She swallowed all those words back.

And then.

She was driven to a mental breakdown by pressure from all sides.

Qin Mo's mother told her once again that she couldn't rise in social class, and Qin Mo couldn't fall down either; the Qin family would never let a country girl like her into the family.

When Qin Mo reaches the appropriate age, they will arrange suitable blind dates for him.

She was told not to use Qin Mo as a stepping stone, and that if she didn't break up with Qin Mo, she wouldn't even be able to go to university.

She dared not gamble. Everything Qin Mo's mother did during that time made her fear capital. Qin Mo was important, but going to school was equally important to her. Only by going to university could she escape the tragedies brought about by her family of origin.

In the end, she gave in.

But compromising is also a gamble for her.

She wanted to gamble on Qin Mo's feelings for her, and that even if she broke up with him, he would still love her.

But she underestimated the boy's pride. After she said the things Qin Mo's mother had told her to say, he became angry and furious, feeling that she had changed so much.

She didn't explain.

She also decided to let him go completely and focus on completing her studies.

She changed her college application overnight, switching the city of her university to Jingzhou. Even so, Qin Mo still held a very important place in her heart.

He was there for her through the toughest times of her youth, and he encouraged and supported her through the times her parents forced her to drop out of school and cause trouble at the school.

Even her admission to Jingzhou University was thanks to Qin Mo's tutoring.

She owed Qin Mo a thank you, and she also owed him an apology.

"Sister Lin Tan." Assistant Sisi called out to her, noticing that she hadn't left the room. "What's wrong?"

Lin Tan snapped out of her daze.

Only then did I realize that I had been thinking about so much without even realizing it.

"Your scene will be in ten minutes," Sisi reminded her.

Lin Tan said "okay" and stood up to walk outside.

Sisi's phone rang before she had taken two steps, and a moment later she heard her say, "President Huo."

Lin Tan paused in her steps.

He remembered that he hadn't replied to Huo Sinian's message yet.

"President Qin just left." Sisi replied earnestly, not knowing what Huo Sinian had said. "Sister Lin Tan is next to me now."

Sisi: "Okay."

As they were talking.

She handed the phone to Lin Tan: "It's President Huo on the phone."

Lin Tan suppressed her emotions, picked up the phone, and said in a normal tone, "Hello."

"Why didn't you reply to my message?" Huo Sinian's voice was several octaves lower than usual.

Lin Tan replied naturally, "I was just about to go back."

Huo Sinian asked, "What does Qin Mo want with you?"

"I asked a few questions about what happened between the female lead and the second male lead in the drama a while ago." Lin Tan's voice was calm and composed. "I didn't want to get into trouble, so I just gave a few perfunctory answers."

Huo Sinian's eyes were so deep that they were unfathomable.

Lin Tan's voice continued, "Is there anything else? It'll be my turn soon."

"That's all." Huo Sinian didn't press further. "You're busy."

Lin Tan hung up the phone quickly.

Huo Sinian was playing with his phone.

Reason told him that Qin Mo's personality made it impossible for him to have any involvement with Lin Tan, and Lin Tan's answer was also correct, but he still felt that things were too coincidental.

【Check the relationship between Qin Mo and the female lead and second male lead in Lin Tan's drama.】 Huo Sinian sent a message to his secretary, preferring to let the facts speak for themselves rather than thinking. 【As soon as possible.】

The secretary replied quickly: "Okay."
