Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Playing Hide and Seek with Mom, Don’t You Like It?

Bo Yunshen squinted his eyes and swept a glance at Shen Ruyun.

"Daddy!"

As soon as Qin Yinyin saw Bo Yunshen, she ran a few steps towards him and tightly grasped Bo Yunshen’s index finger with her little short hands.

Bo Yunshen couldn’t be bothered to ask Shen Ruyun too many questions; as long as Qin Yinyin was alright, he could explain things to Qin Yan, and that would be fine!

Bo Yunshen reached out to lift Qin Yan and Yinyin, taking great strides toward the direction of the ancestral hall.

The Bo Family members had not all arrived, so the sacrificial ceremony had not yet begun.

Fortunately, the ancestral hall was well positioned, built so that all sides were airy, and standing there wasn’t too hot.

Qin Yinyin didn’t know what this place was, but she clutched tightly onto Bo Yunshen’s dress pants with her small hands, blinking her bright, round eyes and staring straight at Bo Yunshen.

It was as if she was afraid he would leave her behind again.

"Daddy, when is Mommy coming?"

Bo Yunshen didn’t move; the tip of his finger clamped a cigarette, ash falling on his shiny leather shoes, with the smoke curling and sketching an especially lazy expression on his face.

"Why ask? She’ll naturally come over in a bit. Could she really run away?!"

Qin Yinyin nodded her head, seemingly understanding but not quite, and looked around curiously, "Daddy, what are we doing here?"

"Looking at the scenery!"

Bo Yunshen’s response was casual and laid-back. A three-year-old child, if told they were here to honour Bo Yunci, would probably come up with countless questions.

"Can we play a game?"

Bo Yunshen looked down at Qin Yinyin. Play a game?

He had just left this kid on the mountainside, and now she had the guts to ask him to play a game with her—quite bold indeed, definitely Qin Yan’s child!

Bo Yunshen’s eyes lifted at the corner, a plan forming in his mind.

"The place here is so big—how about we play a game together with your Mom?"

Qin Yinyin’s eyes lit up, excitedly asking, "Can we? But Mommy isn’t here, is she?"

"She’ll be here in a bit!"

The corners of Bo Yunshen’s lips lifted in a subtle, undetectable smile as he led Yinyin to a secluded area.

Since bumping into Qin Yinyin, Shen Ruyun had been keeping an eye on Bo Yunshen and his daughter. Seeing Bo Yunshen take Qin Yinyin towards an abandoned area, she subconsciously felt her chance might be coming and followed without hesitation.

Bo Yunshen finally found a place without people, then let go of Qin Yinyin’s hand and said in a low voice, "Just wait here and see if your Mom can find you later! Don’t run around, understand?"

Qin Yinyin looked perplexed: "Why?"

"To play hide and seek with Mommy, don’t you like it?"

"But Mommy told me not to run around! She said that if she can’t find me, she’ll be worried!"

"Daddy, let’s play a game that won’t make Mommy worried, okay?"

Bo Yunshen was unaware that Qin Yinyin had been lost before, nor did he know about Qin Yan’s near breakdown when she couldn’t find Yinyin.

Hearing Qin Yinyin’s words, he just thought Qin Yan was ridiculous!

Did Qin Yan really think her daughter was the darling of the masses, coveted by everyone?!

Ridiculous!

Daring to tell a child that his Manman was a mistress—if he didn’t scare Qin Yan a bit, where would Bo Yunshen vent the fire in his heart?

He frowned, impatiently patting Qin Yinyin’s head, saying, "It’s just a game; she won’t worry over such a small matter! Don’t worry!"

"If no one comes looking for you, don’t come out, got it?"

Bo Yunshen had reminded Qin Yinyin, then lit a cigarette for himself. He walked back the way he came, a rare, faint smile on his face.

The last time at the hospital, he had intended to make Qin Yan anxious, but it ended up causing a scandal of marital abuse!

This time, he wanted to see how Qin Yan would find her daughter without his help!

Flicking the ash from his cigarette, Bo Yunshen took a few steps and ran into Shen Ruyun head-on.

"Fourth brother."

Bo Yunshen glanced at her indifferently, "How coincidental, to run into you twice on the same road, sister-in-law!"

Shen Ruyun’s expression froze, and a smile appeared on her face, "I came specifically to look for you. Mom and dad said Qin Yan might be arriving soon, so we can go pay respects to Yun Ci."

"Okay."

Bo Yunshen responded and headed out of the ancestral hall. Shen Ruyun then asked, "What about Qin Yan’s daughter? Isn’t she with you?"

"Why are you asking this, sister-in-law?"

Bo Yunshen gave Shen Ruyun a lackluster glance, his gaze seemingly casual but incredibly sharp, always ready to peer into people’s hearts!

"Just asking casually, isn’t Qin Yan always doting on her daughter? I’m just worried she might get mad at you if she sees you without that wild... child, later!"

Bo Yunshen curled his lips, "You needn’t worry about me, sister-in-law. Just take good care of yourself, especially the house under third brother’s name. It’s better you redeem it quickly!"

"Otherwise, if mom finds out, no matter how eloquently you speak, you won’t be able to save yourself!"

Shen Ruyun’s smile stiffened on her face. She wanted to say something more, but the phone in her pocket rang.

Shen Ruyun knew who was calling without even thinking about it at this time!

Bo Yunshen tossed his cigarette butt away, then extinguished it with the tip of his polished shoe, and gently reminded Shen Ruyun, "Sister-in-law, your phone!"

"Okay, I’ll take this call first. You can go back!"

Bo Yunshen nodded and strode out with his long legs.

He took wide steps, leaving Shen Ruyun standing still, her face covered by tree shadows, unfoundedly somber.

She turned to look in the direction Bo Yunshen had come from, her expression revealing a sinister smile.

Qin Yan was quick to act. By the time Bo Yunshen arrived at the ancestral hall, she was already there. Qin Yan wore a goose-yellow dress, with wounds on her elbows and knees already treated. She stood among the crowd like a gentle spring rain, refreshing to the heart.

Seeing Bo Yunshen, she trotted over with her skirt in hand.

"Where’s Yinyin?"

"Director Qin asking this, asking me for your own daughter? Don’t you find it laughable?"

Qin Yan immediately got anxious, "Yunshen, stop joking. It was clearly you who brought Yinyin to the ancestral hall. I asked around just now; everyone said you and Yinyin were together!"

"Where did you hide her?"

The sparse sunlight filtered through layers of leaves, casting an unintentional gloom on Bo Yunshen’s face.

He glanced at Qin Yan and noticed her hands trembling. It seemed even more exaggerated to him!

Qin Yan’s acting skills have truly become better and better!

Even her body language was part of it!

He didn’t know whether to admire her or to sneer!

"Director Qin, if you can’t find your daughter, go to the police! What’s the use of looking for me?" Bo Yunshen’s eyes twinkled with a light smile, "But, your daughter has only been missing for a few minutes; I’m afraid even the police station wouldn’t file a case yet!"

Qin Yan’s hand suddenly reached out and clutched Bo Yunshen’s sleeve tightly.

Her action caused his pristine white shirt to wrinkle.

"Bo Yunshen, tell me where Yinyin is! Today is the third brother’s death anniversary. I don’t want to cause a scene with dad."

"Yinyin is my bottom line!"
