Chapter 105: Chapter 105: I Just Want a Promise from You

It was all a waste—he had turned back to rescue Qin Yan, and to vent on her behalf, he even got the taxi driver locked up in the station!

Qin Yan, on the other hand, woke up and scolded him first, didn’t say a word on his behalf when they arrived at the old residence, and let him endure a whipping!

Had he known, he would never have bothered with Qin Yan’s life or death!

Bo Yunshen’s face was ominously dark, oppressive clouds hanging over him, and despite his severe injuries, Qin Yan still felt immense pressure.

She took a deep breath; the scent of blood rushed into her nostrils, so cloyingly sweet that it made her stomach churn with nausea!

Qin Yan composed herself and said, "Yunshen, I know what you’re thinking. But I won’t easily explain today’s incident to dad."

Bo Yunshen paused.

Even if Qin Yan didn’t say it, he had already figured it out—he wasn’t blind!

He had vaguely heard the old man mention Lu Yi’s name over the phone earlier; it was that woman’s doing again, wasn’t it?

She really is talented, capable of not only diverting the old man’s rage but also managing to get past his mother’s scrutiny!

There’s still no noise outside; what about Qin Yan’s daughter, his mother, and sister-in-law—are they with her?

Qin Yan really is something, managing to train his family members to be so compliant!

What, when Qin Yan turns to claim Bo Group, is he supposed to just hand it over to her?

Due to the pain, Bo Yunshen’s lips had lost their color and faintly turned pale. He looked away quickly, a flash of disgust in his eyes as he asked,

"So, Mrs. Bo has come to set conditions, has she?"

By this point, Bo Yunshen’s brain couldn’t work as quickly as usual. He thought for half a second, then continued, "You’ve already secured your position as Mrs. Bo and Qin Yinyin, that little encumbrance, has become recognized as part of Bo Family. If it’s money you want, my father can give it to you directly. What else do you want from me?"

Frankly, Bo Yunshen had no clue what else he had that could make Qin Yan go to such lengths and scheme tirelessly!

Could it possibly be that Qin Yan wanted his affection?

Did she want him to love her wholeheartedly?

In his dreams!

His heart entirely belonged to Manman!

Three years ago, Qin Yan forced Manman to leave Tong City with ease, taking the position that should have been Manman’s as Mrs. Bo!

Wasn’t that enough?

Did she want to erase every trace that Manman had ever existed, or even replace her?

Greedy!

There’s no such cheap deal in this world!

Qin Yan didn’t know what Bo Yunshen was thinking, and upon hearing his words, she lowered her eyelashes and slowly said, "Yunshen, I called you the day before yesterday."

Before coming to the study, she had already thought it over.

Bo Yunshen had concluded that Yinyin was not his child; no matter how much she explained, he remained indifferent!

He had no affection for Qin Yinyin, even going as far as to say he despised her!

Bo Yunshen’s indifference to Yinyin was one thing, but she couldn’t afford to not care.

Mrs. Yue clung to the issue of Yinyin’s schooling and wanted Bo Yunshen to apologize!

After the phone call, Bo Yunshen was very resistant to the matter, which was her only opportunity to negotiate terms with him!

Bo Yunshen had already suffered the consequences but still hadn’t changed his attitude toward Yinyin, so she had no reason to hesitate!

"The day before yesterday?"

Bo Yunshen frowned slightly.

The day before yesterday, after Qin Yan left Hai Wan Xiang Xie, she called and apologized to him in a humble tone, saying she had wrongfully accused him of hitting Qin Yinyin.

It didn’t seem like she made any unreasonable demands!

Bo Yunshen furrowed his brows, thinking hard, but still couldn’t remember!

Could it be that Qin Yan’s request over the phone was too subtle and he failed to catch it?

Bo Yunshen scoffed coldly, moved his arm, and his fingertips brushed away the sweat beading between his brows, a gesture that sent a tearing pain through his wound.

His movement stiffened, and his face turned an iron shade as he stared at Qin Yan.

When their eyes met, Qin Yan began,

"Yinyin’s issue, the parents of little fatty are adamant and refuse to back down, so I thought you could go and apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Yue, and we can put this matter behind us.

"You should know better than me, their child has a broken bone, the situation is a bit troublesome, I don’t want Yinyin to transfer schools, and I don’t want her to be unable to attend kindergarten in Tong City."

Suddenly, everything clicked for Bo Yunshen, and he licked his lips, feeling an urge to laugh.

He took a whipping from the old man over such a trivial matter?

For Qin Yinyin to attend school was just a matter of his word, was it worth it for Qin Yan to go to such lengths?

He licked his lips again, his tone mocking and suspicious, "All for a bastard?"

Qin Yan felt a sting from Bo Yunshen’s words; no mother likes to hear her child referred to by those three words!

Standing in the blood-tinged study, Qin Yan’s gaze was profound; she gathered the stray hair by her ears and walked up to Bo Yunshen,

"Yunshen, I’ve told you many times, Yinyin is just a child, she doesn’t understand anything. You can curse at me however you like, but stop insulting her with ’bastard.’ Because I’m afraid one day..."

You will regret it.

Qin Yan’s following words were cut off by Bo Yunshen’s cold laughter.

His back was wounded, and the laugh must have aggravated it, as he sharply inhaled a breath of cold air, "What are you afraid of? Afraid you’ll raise Qin Yinyin to be just like you?"

"Unscrupulous!"

These four words were squeezed out from between Bo Yunshen’s teeth, laced with an unmistakable resentment.

Qin Yan took a couple of deep breaths, feeling a wave of desolation in her heart.

Between her and Bo Yunshen, their three-year marriage was in name only; she knew his heart was filled with the shadow of Lin Man, and she rarely made herself felt in his presence. Even after so much time, his dislike towards her hadn’t lessened with time.

On the contrary, it had continued to increase.

Bo Yunshen had spent quite some time with Qin Yinyin, how could Qin Yan believe he did not know what kind of child she was?

The expression on Qin Yan’s face faded completely; she closed and then reopened her eyes, her gaze lost in the dim lamp light, her eyelashes tinted with a touch of coldness.

Bo Yunshen couldn’t stand the way Qin Yan bore grievances yet restrained herself, as if he owed her something!

He had always felt that if there were a victim between him and Qin Yan, it would certainly be him!

"How so? Am I wrong?" Bo Yunshen curled the corners of his mouth and asked dispassionately.

"Did I misunderstand you?"

Qin Yan glanced at him; her eyes were undisturbed, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with Bo Yunshen.

The only thing that Bo Yunshen firmly believed she was holding onto and wouldn’t let go was an incident from three years ago!

She smiled faintly and slowly said,

"You can say anything you like, I just want a promise from you."

Jin Yang Guang Kindergarten was the only kindergarten Qin Yan had chosen for Yinyin after her disappearance, boasting a good environment and convenience for her to take care of Yinyin!

She would not allow Yinyin to drop out!
