Chapter 170: Yinyin Found It

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Yinyin Found It

Bo Yunshen gritted his teeth angrily, his gaze toward Qin Yan growing colder and colder.

Qin Yan, "Yunshen, Yinyin’s shoes are so clean, it doesn’t seem like she walked here by herself. I know you did this. If it’s me you want to punish, why drag Yinyin into it?"

"Don’t forget, Yinyin was with you yesterday. She ate too much ice cream and even fell ill! This heavy rain and dampness are not suitable for children on the mountain!"

"Just give me Yinyin back, and you can carry on with your antics!"

Bo Yunshen looked at Qin Yan incredulously.

What nonsense was Qin Yan talking? A whole day had passed, and she brought up the ice cream again—was she planning to settle old scores with him?!

He was beyond furious, "Where Yinyin is, shouldn’t you be the most aware? Do you really think I can magically produce another living person for you?"

Within just a few sentences, the tension between the two escalated once again.

Bo Yunshen was about to speak when the sharp ring of a cellphone pierced through the rain curtain, reaching their ears.

He instinctively glanced at the phone screen—it was Mrs. Bo.

Bo Yunshen was just about to hang up, but then he looked up at the increasingly overcast weather and muttered a curse before answering.

He couldn’t bear to stay another second on the mountain in this dreadful weather!

What if his mother had some good news?

Thinking this, Bo Yunshen swiped to answer the call.

"Yunshen, where is Qin Yan? I couldn’t get through to her!"

"Director Qin is too busy to take your calls!"

Bo Yunshen’s voice carried a mocking tone.

Hearing this, Qin Yan reached for her phone, tapped the screen a few times, but it showed no response!

It must have been damaged from being soaked in water previously.

The voice on the phone paused for a moment, then Mrs. Bo spoke softly, "Yunshen, give her the phone, I have something to tell her."

Hearing this, Bo Yunshen glanced in Qin Yan’s direction. Her face was pale, which only made her eyes, dark and shining, even more striking.

Her appearance was harmless. Bo Yunshen snorted coldly and handed over the phone.

Qin Yan’s tactics were truly formidable!

With that pitiful look, she must have deceived many.

Before, it was the old man secretly talking to Qin Yan, and now his own mother was doing the same, keeping things from him!

He couldn’t even listen!

Hiding Qin Yinyin away was probably Qin Yan’s plan from the beginning!

While taking the call, Qin Yan glanced at the phone screen.

"Mom, what’s up?"

"Yanyan, the rain has gotten heavier than before. The mountain roads are slippery. Have you encountered any dangers?"

Qin Yan instinctively detected the undeniable tension in Mrs. Bo’s voice.

She thought Mrs. Bo was overly worried about Bo Yunshen’s safety—after all, she too was a mother of a three-year-old and could understand Mrs. Bo’s concerns.

"Mom, rest assured, it’s okay up here. There hasn’t been a landslide or falling rocks. Yunshen is fine; there’s nothing to worry about!"

Mrs. Bo’s heart eased slightly.

"Yanyan, I’m somewhat worried about Yunshen. You know how serious his back injury is; he can’t get wet! So, please don’t let Yunshen get caught in the rain!"

Qin Yan turned her head to look at the man standing beside her, tall and upright amidst the storm, his clothes drenched.

She even noticed that the gauze wrapped around his smoothly contoured back was soaked red!

Qin Yan suddenly fell silent.

"Oh, right! We’ve got news about Yinyin; she’s fine and at the old house now!"

"Yanyan, you and Yunshen won’t be able to find her by looking around the mountain! Better hurry and bring Yunshen down!"

Qin Yan jolted, "Really?"

"Of course it’s true! Why would I lie to you?!"

The sound from the phone was soft, and the rain noise was loud. Qin Yan heard Mrs. Bo’s answer, slightly muffled, her eyes brimming with happiness.

As long as Yinyin was fine, she could endure any ordeal.

Qin Yan really couldn’t afford the cost of losing Qin Yinyin. Her daughter was truly her entire life!

Even though Mrs. Bo spoke, Qin Yan still felt insecure and asked softly, "Mom, can you let Yinyin answer the phone?"

"This..."

Mrs. Bo hesitated.

"What’s wrong?"

"The child is startled, and she is sleeping right now..."

Mrs. Bo’s voice sounded a bit shaky, but Qin Yan was so worried about Qin Yinyin that she totally ignored the tone Mrs. Bo used while speaking on the phone.

Upon hearing this, a touch of tenderness flashed in Qin Yan’s eyes.

"Mom, don’t wake her up. She had a fever last night and needs to rest. As long as she’s okay, Yunshen and I will come down the mountain now!"

Mrs. Bo had thought she was about to get caught, but instead, there was an unexpected turn of events.

She quickly responded, "Ah, I see the rain might keep getting heavier. You and Yunshen hurry back, and be careful on your way down!"

Qin Yan acknowledged and hung up the phone.

Now that Qin Yinyin was safe, her heart slowly settled down, and her face was filled with contentment.

Bo Yunshen saw this, and his gaze darkened.

His figure, standing in the rain, took on a faint glimmer, somber and deep.

Qin Yan was oblivious.

"Yunshen, Yinyin has been found."

A huge wave surged in the depths of Bo Yunshen’s eyes as he repeated the last few words Qin Yan had said.

"Found?"

"Yes! She’s at the old house; let’s go down the mountain."

Qin Yan felt a wave of relief wash over her, moving as she spoke. She had just taken a step when Bo Yunshen stopped her.

"Just like that?"

She was somewhat bewildered.

Bo Yunshen scoffed, his voice blending with the rain, exceptionally cold:

"If I remember correctly, didn’t Director Qin just accuse me of hiding someone?"

"Now tell me, how could I have hidden Qin Yinyin at the old house while I was up on the mountain?"

His gaze seemed to carry hooks, making Qin Yan’s breath catch.

Suddenly, Qin Yan remembered her previous behavior when she couldn’t find Yinyin, crying and making a scene, which was now embarrassing to think about!

Bo Yunshen must be furious with her by now.

She licked her lips, "Yunshen, I..."

She hesitated for a moment, unable to utter her apology; the disruption had been too severe, she had even jumped into the river, and Qin Yan wasn’t sure if Bo Yunshen would accept her apology.

As she hesitated for that brief moment, Bo Yunshen made his move.

He extended his long finger, lifted Qin Yan’s chin, and forced her to look up.

Then, her chin tightened.

"What? Director Qin has been in the workplace for so many years, adaptable to circumstances, and now you find it so hard to apologize to me?"

Bo Yunshen narrowed his eyes, a chilling hostility radiating from him.

Qin Yan shrank back slightly.

Since he brought it up, she naturally took the opportunity to slide by.

"Yunshen, I’m sorry."

Bo Yunshen sneered, "What did you say?"

Qin Yan took a deep breath, raised her voice, and said, "I’m sorry, I misunderstood you today. Yunshen, I apologize to you!"

Bo Yunshen’s lips curled slightly, and he suddenly withdrew his finger.

Qin Yan’s chin relaxed, and a few words drifted into her ears.

"Your apology is worthless!"
