Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Is someone like Qin Yan worth taking a second whipping for?

Bo Yunshen suddenly stood up, causing Gu Jinyan to jump in fright because of his abrupt movement.

Seeing him ready to leave, Gu Jinyan stopped him, "What are you doing?"

"I’m going to the hospital!"

He pushed Gu Jinyan, his emotions seeming like a storm about to break.

Hearing this, Gu Jinyan was provoked into laughter by Bo Yunshen’s seriousness. He cursed softly, "Old Bo, are you messing with me? You wake me up from bed and now you’re leaving?!"

Bo Yunshen licked his lips and said softly, "Suit yourself! Drink more, don’t save any for me!"

"Do I lack the money for these two bottles of alcohol?" Gu Jinyan scoffed coldly. He studied Bo Yunshen up and down and asked softly, "What, you’re jealous because Qin Yan and Lu Yi are together?"

The expression on Bo Yunshen’s face changed, and for the first time, Gu Jinyan saw such a straightforward display of emotions, as if he were terrified of being associated with Qin Yan!

"Old Gu, if you’ve drunk too much, just say so, and I’ll have Xu Lin come to pick you up!"

Gu Jinyan chuckled, "Stubborn! Since you entered, you haven’t stopped calling your sister-in-law! Old Bo, no offense, but that’s not the way to draw attention..."

Veins throbbed on Bo Yunshen’s forehead.

He was still concerned about going to the hospital; where did he have the time to discuss these trivial matters with Gu Jinyan here?

"This afternoon, the old man called and asked me to bring Qin Yan and her daughter back to the old house!"

Bo Yunshen’s face darkened as if it could drip water, "Because of the scandal of abusing my wife, the old man whipped me!"

"What do I do if I don’t do as told and get whipped again?"

Gu Jinyan’s lips twitched, realizing for the first time in the many years he’d known him that Old Bo actually had such a proud disposition!

"Is someone like Qin Yan worth a second whipping?"

Bo Yunshen licked his lips again, his eyes growing resolute.

After saying this, he pushed Gu Jinyan aside and strode out the door.

Gu Jinyan didn’t notice that after his departure, he touched his chin and smiled broadly.

Very interesting, today Old Bo explained himself for the second time because of Qin Yan!

Since he wouldn’t be able to sleep anyway if he went back, Gu Jinyan straightened his suit and followed Bo Yunshen out of the Night Club!

He was ready to watch the drama unfold at the hospital!

...

Hospital.

Lu Yi ended the call and glanced at Qin Yan’s phone—it was on silent.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned her phone screen over and placed it face-down on the table.

Qin Yan was holding Qin Yinyin as they came out of the restroom, with Lu Yi still seated.

Perhaps it was because she was frightened by Bo Yunshen last night, but Qin Yinyin’s temperature kept fluctuating, and she was sweating profusely.

Afraid that she would catch a cold after being under the air conditioning, Qin Yan, after hanging up Bo Yunshen’s call, took Qin Yinyin to the bathroom and bathed her.

Qin Yinyin was wearing the same white gauze dress as before.

Her personality, much like Bo Yunshen’s, made her exceptionally fond of cleanliness; having no clothes to change into after the bath brought her to tears.

After soothing her, Qin Yan reached for her phone, but Lu Yi stopped her and said softly, "I overheard a bit of your conversation with Yunshen earlier. I’m working on the opening report for Yan Chi for you, so rest for a while!"

Producing such a small project’s opening report, utilizing both the Marketing Director and the PR Director, truly was a waste of talents!

Qin Yan complied amicably, without objection.

Qin Yan’s body was also not feeling particularly well, compounded by her looking after Bo Yunshen the previous night, giving her a slight fever!

But since Lu Yi was still there, she couldn’t just collapse onto the bed and sleep!

"Why did you come over at this hour?"

Lu Yi glanced at his watch and said in a low voice, "There was a small hiccup in the PR department, and it took a while to handle. Hearing that Yinyin was sick, I couldn’t rest easy and decided to come over and check on her."

Qin Yan felt a complex emotion stirring within her.

She had wanted Bo Yunshen to spare some time to accompany Yinyin, but it had ended up causing a series of problems. Instead, it was Lu Yi, who had always been there when she needed him over the years.

Similarly, Qin Yan felt somewhat embarrassed. She reached out and patted Qin Yinyin softly, whispering, "Yinyin, Mr. Lu has come to see you, why don’t you even greet him?"

Qin Yinyin was sick, her expression listless, and her pale little face had lost some of its luster.

"Uncle Lu."

When Qin Yinyin spoke, both Lu Yi and Qin Yan were stunned for a moment, as she had always called Lu Yi Mr. Lu before, and her sudden change surprised them both.

Lu Yi lowered his eyelashes and moved the hand that was holding his phone.

"Yinyin, what did you call me?"

Qin Yinyin licked her dry lips and looked towards Lu Yi, saying in a soft voice, "My teacher said we shouldn’t casually call people ’Dad,’ Uncle Lu, are you... angry?"

She blinked her large eyes, the long eyelashes making her face resemble even more than of a doll.

Lu Yi squeezed his fingers and smiled slightly.

There was no reason to be angry with a three-year-old child.

"No."

Lu Yi shifted his gaze and paused momentarily on Qin Yan.

Qin Yan, having been focused solely on Qin Yinyin, had not noticed that there was a problem with her own dress.

Her dress had been snagged by Bo Yunshen’s watch strap, barely covering her, and her long slender legs were conspicuously exposed.

Lu Yi furrowed his brow and tapped Qin Yan’s dress, saying, "Qin Yan, your dress is torn."

Qin Yan instinctively looked down.

As soon as Bo Yunshen entered the room, a flash of anger crossed his eyes.

From his perspective, it seemed as though Lu Yi’s outstretched hand had touched Qin Yan’s leg.

Qin Yan stood by the bed while Lu Yi sat on it, with their proximity lending itself to visual misinterpretation.

"What are you doing!"

He let out a cold laugh as he entered the room steadily, his expression darkening.

Qin Yan turned her head to the side, slightly surprised.

"How come you’re back?"

Bo Yunshen, always prideful, hadn’t expected Qin Yan to send him out earlier without considering the possibility of his return.

As soon as she uttered those words, Bo Yunshen’s face darkened.

Was he interrupting something between them?

Holding back his anger, Bo Yunshen glanced coldly at Qin Yan and sneered!

After sensing the tone was not right, Qin Yan pursed her lips and fell silent.

Bo Yunshen licked his lips to his side.

It really was quite the coincidence, in every instance he saw Qin Yan with another man, they were either embracing intimately or acting affectionately.

Bo Yunshen’s lips curled sarcastically, his look towards Qin Yan carrying a deep meaning.

Seeing Bo Yunshen enter, Lu Yi stood up from his stool and greeted him, "Yunshen, you’re here."

Bo Yunshen let out another cold laugh; Lu Yi’s greeting made it sound as though he was the man of the house.

Bo Yunshen felt a pang of discomfort.

"What, so your cousin can come, and I can’t?"
