Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Yanyan, I Fell into the Water on Purpose

Bo Yunshen’s lips quirked up as he casually crossed his arms, his gaze light and indifferent.

He was prepared to see how Qin Yan would climb out of the water later and what kind of excuse she would concoct to wrap this up!

Did she jump just because he told her to?!

Sorry, but he had never seen the high and mighty Director Qin from Bo Group be so obedient on any other day!

Standing nonchalantly in the storm, Bo Yunshen’s figure was upright, like a lifeless statue that feared no natural phenomena!

Gradually, the struggling strength of Qin Yan in the water grew weaker, and the water covered her entire body.

The reservoir water was very clear, and from Bo Yunshen’s perspective, he could even clearly see Qin Yan’s body gradually sinking.

Bo Yunshen’s facial expression cracked open, his eyebrows tightly knitted together.

His chest concealed his anger with the raging storm.

This woman, Qin Yan, had truly formidable schemes and tactics, impressive indeed!

Bo Yunshen couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh!

Now Qin Yan was betting her own life on his patience!

Fine!

He was quite interested to see how long Qin Yan could hold her breath underwater!

If she was looking for death, what did it have to do with him if something really happened?!

Bo Yunshen couldn’t believe that if something really happened to Qin Yan, the old man would truly be able to pin a murder charge on him, and to atone for her, throw him in jail!

In the depths of Bo Yunshen’s eyes, as placid as ancient wells, a storm was brewing!

Over the years, there were quite a few people who had played games with Bo Yunshen, and Qin Yan wasn’t the only one, not even the fiercest one!

But undeniably, Qin Yan was the one who had jumped around the longest!

Perhaps it was because his tolerance for her was too high!

Bo Yunshen watched sleepily, his gaze hawk-like, filled with coldness.

As time ticked by second by second, Bo Yunshen grew somewhat anxious and his lips pressed tightly into a straight line.

He paused for a moment, and Bo Yunshen glanced at the delicate wristwatch on his wrist!

The minute hand had stopped at some point, probably due to the heavy rain, and with no shelter around the reservoir, water must have gotten into the watch at some point!

His gaze turned dark and stormy.

A normal person could only hold their breath underwater for a few minutes. The ripples on the water’s surface dispersed, and gradually only the splash of water droplets falling into the water remained.

He licked the corner of his lips, his gaze faintly dim!

Could it be, Qin Yan was not acting? She really couldn’t swim?!

This thought had just surfaced when Bo Yunshen immediately squashed it!

Impossible!

Qin Yan was not someone who gave up easily. He had known since three years ago; she wouldn’t stop while she was ahead, and likewise, she wouldn’t stop until she was satisfied!

Drowning in a river was not the kind of death someone like Qin Yan would choose!

He couldn’t waver so easily. The moment he made a move to save Qin Yan, he would fall right into her trap!

Bo Yunshen stood for no more than two or three seconds, took a couple of steps toward the reservoir, and then suddenly jumped into the water!

Whatever the case, the old man liked Qin Yan!

What if Qin Yan took things too far, something bad happened, and she really died?!

With the old man’s upright nature, if he really had to atone for Qin Yan, wouldn’t that be a loss greater than gain?!

Qin Yan must not die!

At least not now!

Otherwise, Qin Yinyin’s disappearance would be inextricably linked to him, and her death would be even more inextricably linked to him!

Compared to that, what was face worth?!

Bo Yunshen had clearer vision underwater than he had had on the shore.

He quickly spotted Qin Yan’s figure, her body slowly sinking. Bo Yunshen swam towards Qin Yan, reached out his arms, and encircled her waist. Her body was stiff and ice-cold, devoid of any warmth.

As if she were truly dead.

Bo Yunshen’s expression changed, and he quickly surfaced with Qin Yan in his arms!

Once on shore, Bo Yunshen angrily patted Qin Yan’s cold face and cursed softly.

"Shit!"

He placed his hands on Qin Yan’s chest and pressed down forcefully.

Bo Yunshen’s face was covered with a layer of icy condensation, obscured by the rain. His handsome face wore shades of gloom and biting cold!

Qin Yan spat out a mouthful of water, her eyelids fluttered open, the sky glimmered heavily in the dark, the huge raindrops pelted her face. Her strength spent, her eyes closed again, and the world returned to darkness.

Her consciousness was pulled into endless dreams.

The tip of Qin Yan’s nose carried the salty scent of seawater.

She saw Bo Yunshen holding Lin Man as they got back onto the yacht, her body floating in the water, giving up the struggle, slowly sinking!

If it had not been for the lifeguard on the yacht, Qin Yan might have thought she would truly be buried in the boundless sea.

After attending the party, Qin Yan was dressed in a white chiffon dress. Having fallen into the water, the white chiffon clung to her body, not only outlining her shapely figure but also faintly revealing the contours of her underwear!

Standing on the deck, Qin Yan was exceptionally disheveled.

Only she and Lin Man had fallen into the sea, both were rescued, and it was merely a scare.

As the guests on the yacht came to their senses, they began to whistle and mock Qin Yan.

Malicious ridicule from all sides, brazen gazes, Qin Yan’s face turned utterly pale in an instant.

She had never regretted attending a party so much.

Qin Yan was not afraid of mockery, but her disheveled appearance contrasted sharply with Lin Man nearby. Lin Man was cradled in Bo Yunshen’s arms, draped in his large suit, looking delicate and charming.

Her boyfriend, her lover, the careful nurturing that once belonged to her, all given to another woman?

Qin Yan shivered, her entire body chilled as if in an ice cellar. The sounds of mockery grew louder, and Qin Yan bit her lip, huddling on a chair, her shoulders drawn up, feeling as though her clothes had been stripped off for everyone’s amusement.

She felt ashamed as if her heart had been torn open by a gaping wound.

Until someone held out a towel in front of her.

Qin Yan stiffened, followed the pair of slender jade fingers upward, and met Lin Man’s calm face.

Meeting her gaze, Lin Man’s lips curved slightly, her expression carrying a hint of gentle mockery.

She shook out the towel and draped it over Qin Yan, her slender body standing before her as if shielding her from all the malicious stares!

But only Qin Yan could see, her face was cold as frost, lofty and superior.

"Three years ago, I let you go. Why did you come back?!"

Qin Yan’s heartbeat was constricted, her breathing grew tighter, a weighty pressure suppressing all her actions.

"What?"

"Yanyan, why deceive yourself?" Lin Man stroked her damp hair nonchalantly, speaking lightly: "Yunshen stopped loving you long ago!"

Those words stabbed through Qin Yan’s defenses with ease.

And yet Lin Man, oblivious to the chaos she had thrown Qin Yan into, continued:

"As you know, he loves me now."

"You saw Yunshen’s choice just now, I don’t need to prove it to you."

"Yanyan, I fell into the water on purpose."

"Yanyan, I can swim."

Lin Man’s words were gentle and soft, her voice pleasing to the ear, but each word seemed to be etched into Qin Yan’s heart, causing her excruciating pain.

"Yanyan, it’s time to wake up. Now, Yunshen belongs to me and me alone."

"Even if you’re bullied and humiliated, he won’t give you another glance, he won’t protect you anymore!"
