Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Into the Dream

Bo Yunshen’s gaze clung to Qin Yan’s skin, frosting over inch by inch until it reached the cold bottom of her heart.

He suddenly turned over, giving his back to Qin Yan and Qin Yinyin.

"See, Daddy’s just mad because you didn’t give him a goodnight kiss!"

Qin Yan: "..."

She held Qin Yinyin’s tiny body close, pulling up the blanket to tuck her in, whispering, "Go to sleep quickly!"

Qin Yinyin smiled, and just before she obediently closed her eyes, she said, "Mommy, getting too angry is bad for your health, don’t forget to give Daddy a goodnight kiss later!"

She firmly believed in what Qin Yan had once told her, that Daddy and Mommy loved each other very much, and was currently convinced that Bo Yunshen was simply waiting for Qin Yan’s goodnight kiss.

With no other choice, Qin Yan could only nod vaguely and reached out to turn off the light.

The light in the surroundings suddenly dimmed; as visual acuity weakened, other senses became acutely sharp.

Bo Yunshen licked his lips; sharing a bed, Qin Yan lay less than five centimeters behind him.

A fine, subtle fragrance drifted up to the tip of his nose, impossible to ignore.

Bo Yunshen shifted slightly, a shadow crossing his heart again—he felt covered in Qin Yan’s scent, inescapable.

The bed dipped beside him, and Bo Yunshen instinctively tensed.

In front of Qin Yinyin, Qin Yan was a thoroughly good person, keeping her word and leading by example; Bo Yunshen couldn’t count out the possibility of her taking advantage of him while he was vulnerable!

Regardless, Qin Yan merely shifted to find a comfortable position, gently patting Qin Yinyin’s body and humming an unnamed lullaby to lull her to sleep.

Bo Yunshen’s lips twitched—he was wounded and hadn’t rested all day, running around after Qin Yinyin’s school matters and then returning to the office to deal with paperwork.

Finally getting a break, he had accompanied Qin Yinyin to Huan Le Valley, only to end up in the hospital.

Bo Yunshen was already exhausted. Qin Yan’s rhythm as she patted Qin Yinyin was gentle and lingering, lulling him into fighting off sleep.

The steady, faint breathing of the child beside him suggested sleep; then there was movement again behind him, seemingly cautious to not wake the child, her touch very light.

The scent was now clearer in his nostrils, tensing Bo Yunshen’s physique.

"Mommy..."

Qin Yinyin murmured softly, causing Qin Yan, who was active till then, to pause. She halted her descent from the bed as the night engulfed Bo Yunshen’s fluctuating gaze.

Sparse light from outside trickled in—not enough to brighten the room, but enough for Bo Yunshen to discern Qin Yan’s movements.

She was intending to leave the bed.

Bo Yunshen stroked his chin, his gaze deep as the sea, suddenly recalling Qin Yan’s earlier words, that she would go to sleep on the couch once Qin Yinyin was asleep.

His brows raised slightly, his mind preoccupied with the thought of Qin Yan’s goodnight kiss—the apprehension that she might actually kiss him, countered by the fear that she didn’t mean to, and if he spoke up to stop her, he might face her ridicule for being presumptuous.

Bo Yunshen’s mood worsened, burdened by his thoughts, slowly sinking into slumber.

Perhaps due to his deep aversion to Qin Yan, in his sleep, Bo Yunshen hazily realized he was leaning on a woman’s body, as if engulfed by an endless ocean.

The woman’s body was unbelievably soft. Bo Yunshen pulled down her clothes, and suddenly, her face became clear.

Qin Yan?!

Bo Yunshen’s eyes snapped open, his heart racing, his fingertips still tingling with the softness of the woman’s flesh.

He instinctively curled his fingers, feeling something amiss and glanced toward his hand.

Guided by the sparse light seeping in from the window, Bo Yunshen was able to clearly see where his large hand had landed.

His gaze narrowed sharply as he abruptly flung off the hand that was touching Qin Yan’s thigh.

Bo Yunshen’s movements were too hasty, his watchband catching on the hem of Qin Yan’s skirt; the next second, the crisp sound of the fabric tearing was especially pronounced in the hospital room.

Bo Yunshen’s hand paused.

He closed his eyes, noticed there were no signs of Qin Yan waking up, then reached out to pinch his brow.

The corner of his mouth twitched, his heart feeling as though someone had gouged a large hole in it, bombarded with all manners of absurd and bizarre thoughts.

Bo Yunshen took a couple of deep breaths but thinking about how Qin Yan was the object of his erotic dream only intensified his irritation!

Apparently, he was just too deprived of women!

Otherwise, why else would he have started to develop feelings for Qin Yan even in his sleep!

With his awkwardness somewhat subsided, Bo Yunshen turned to look at the still-sleeping Qin Yan again—her lying position had pushed her skirt up higher.

Due to his earlier actions, the skirt had been hooked and torn once more, failing to hide Qin Yan’s exposed body.

Her alabaster, slender legs crossed over one another, their skin as white as snow, became particularly eye-catching in the dim surroundings.

Bo Yunshen’s throat felt dry, he scoffed coldly, and was about to turn his head away when his eyes locked onto the scar on Qin Yan’s abdomen.

A scar marred the beauty of her flat belly, winding and cragged, particularly ferocious.

Ha!

Bo Yunshen let out a sneer, Qin Yan truly was his good wife!

Without any effort on his part, she had already made him a father!

Qin Yan really did consider his needs!

He licked the corner of his lips, his gaze seemingly veiled by a thin layer, emotions hard to discern, now colored darkly by the obscured night.

He glanced over Qin Yan a few times, seeing her lying on her side, sleeping soundly.

Bo Yunshen sneered again, wasn’t she supposed to go sleep below?

She thought by playing dumb, after he had fallen asleep, she could climb into his bed? Qin Yan really would stop at nothing!

And when she was sober, she had made promises so convincingly!

It was all because she held his weakness in her hands that Qin Yan dared to be so bold!

Feeling upset, Bo Yunshen averted his gaze, threw back the thin blanket, got out of bed, and left the hospital room with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter in hand.

The hallway was dimly lit, but it was still much better than the darkened hospital room.

Bo Yunshen sat down on a green plastic bench and lit a cigarette for himself.

As he exhaled a plume of smoke, his suppressed mood seemed to lift slightly when he suddenly heard his own name.

"Hey, did you hear that Bo Yunshen brought his wife and daughter in for a hospital stay today, is that true?"

Bo Yunshen’s body tensed up. He was sitting close to the nurse’s station; the nurse on duty couldn’t see him, but he could hear every word of their conversation.

"That’s right, their daughter had a fever, she’s in the neighboring room. Let me tell you, they are so affectionate. You didn’t see it, when they brought the child in, Bo Yunshen’s face was pale with fright!"

"Stop it, do you think I don’t read the newspapers? Qin Yan’s face is the type that clearly shows she’s chasing after him. And who is Bo Yunshen? Half of Tong City wants to become Mrs. Bo, Qin Yan just happens to be one move ahead of them!"

"Besides, when Qin Yan married Bo Yunshen, she was pregnant. Who knows if the child is even his? It might just be some tag-along kid!"
