Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Dad, Mom, Did You Argue?

Qin Yinyin nodded. She looked at the medicine seriously. She had seen her mother use this type of ointment before. If her mother wouldn’t help her father, she would!

Qin Yinyin took the item and slipped out of Mrs. Bo’s arms, moving toward the study with her short little legs.

As she passed Bo Yuanshan, she paused, looking timidly at him while holding a tube of ointment in her hand.

"Grandpa, I want to go see mom and dad."

Bo Yuanshan frowned deeply and after a long moment, he just grunted in acknowledgment.

Qin Yinyin didn’t hide the ointment. Seeing that Bo Yuanshan didn’t object, she darted into the study without even knocking on the door.

When she entered, Qin Yan’s expression was very grim.

Although Qin Yinyin was young, she was very sensitive to Qin Yan’s emotions. She looked at Bo Yunshen, then at Qin Yan, and asked quietly, "Mom, Dad, did you have a fight?"

It was the first time Yinyin had called them "mom and dad" together.

This way of addressing them felt exceptionally intimate, as if the three of them were inseparably connected.

Bo Yunshen’s already stiff expression grew even more rigid.

Hearing Qin Yinyin’s voice, Qin Yan furrowed her brows. "How did you get here?"

"Mom, do you and dad have some secrets to talk about?"

Qin Yinyin’s question was innocent. After asking, Bo Yunshen snorted coldly in his heart.

Secret talks with Qin Yan, what a joke!

Such a schemer, only a wild man would enjoy whispering secrets with her!

Qin Yan certainly doesn’t need him!

With no one responding to her, Qin Yinyin simply held up the ointment and said:

"Mom, dad is hurt. While you talk to dad, can you apply the ointment on him, please?"

Bo Yunshen was silent, his gaze filled with suspicion as he glanced at Qin Yinyin.

Qin Yan’s daughter, so kind-hearted to bring him medicine?

Or was this another of Qin Yan’s teachings?

Planning to use her own daughter for some unsightly schemes?

Aiming for a higher position?

Once this thought crossed his mind, Bo Yunshen looked at Qin Yan. Was this her tactic, a slap followed by a sweet date?

Trying to use her daughter to earn his forgiveness?

Did he look that easy to talk to?

Surprisingly, Qin Yan neither took the ointment nor immediately refused it.

"Dad isn’t in pain, no need for medicine!"

Qin Yinyin looked doubtfully at Bo Yunshen.

Bo Yunshen’s pupils contracted, Qin Yan bowed her head, hiding the emotions on her face.

With many servants in the Bo Mansion, she didn’t think Bo Yunshen would want any interaction with her.

But as much as Qin Yan thought so, she answered rather evasively: "Don’t believe me, ask dad yourself if it hurts?"

Bo Yunshen’s expression shifted.

The severe injury he suffered, wasn’t it all thanks to Qin Yan?

What was the meaning behind letting Qin Yinyin ask this question?

Was it to mock him?

Bo Yunshen felt a stir inside, his expression fluctuating unpredictably.

He had long suspected Qin Yan’s ill intentions. This incident could very well be related to Qin Yan.

Though Qin Yan had apologized, he now found it hard to understand what exactly Qin Yan was trying to do!

Qin Yinyin, a three-year-old child, couldn’t sense the undercurrents swirling between the two adults.

Bo Yunshen’s wounds were severe, one look and she knew they must be awfully painful.

Qin Yinyin licked her lips and walked up to Bo Yunshen with the medicine.

"Dad, may I apply the ointment for you?"

"Grandma said you were injured, so even if it doesn’t hurt, you still need to apply the medicine!"

Qin Yinyin spoke while twisting open the tube of ointment, her pair of shiny black eyes filled with innocence, "I’ve seen Mom use this kind of ointment, don’t worry Dad, I know how to use it!"

Bo Yunshen’s eyebrows twitched slightly, his deep gaze landing on the ointment in Qin Yinyin’s hand.

It was an ointment for external injuries, packaged quite ordinarily, but due to his constitution, Bo Yunshen had been very cautious with medications over the years.

This particular ointment had been tested by the family doctor and confirmed not to conflict with his physical condition before the Bo Family decided to keep it.

Initially, Bo Yunshen couldn’t understand what Qin Yan was implying with this act.

It was only after hearing Qin Yinyin’s words that he felt as if he was waking from a dream.

External injury ointment, used by Qin Yan?

Was Qin Yan trying to hint through Qin Yinyin that she had been injured and suffered over these years?

Was she trying to attract his attention in this manner?

He had long understood that Qin Yan was no simple character!

Thinking this, Bo Yunshen’s gaze toward Qin Yan carried a hint of disdain.

Bo Yunshen’s lips curled slightly as he said, "You only saw your mother using it, but who knows if you’d be able to apply it properly?"

"With an adult here, would there be any need for you?"

"Step aside!"

Being scolded by Bo Yunshen, Qin Yinyin wasn’t angry; she just handed the ointment directly to Qin Yan.

As soon as she spoke, Qin Yan also understood that Qin Yinyin’s presence was Mrs. Bo’s doing.

Since Qin Yinyin was able to bring the ointment in, it implied that Bo Yuanshan had tacitly agreed to let them treat Bo Yunshen’s injuries.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yan said in a low voice, "I’ll go and call the doctor for you."

She took a step, but Bo Yunshen suddenly slapped the table, stopping Qin Yan in her tracks.

"What, am I injured so badly that Director Qin is below my notice?"

Qin Yan was startled for a second, hesitant, "Yunshen, do you want me to treat your wound?"

Didn’t he always look down on her?

A flicker of an unusual expression crossed Bo Yunshen’s face.

He wanted Qin Yan to treat his wound?

Was Qin Yan thrilled inside? Whether she still loved him or not, surely she was plotting something...

"Quite full of yourself, aren’t you? You didn’t get to be the head of the marketing department by relying on this, did you?"

Bo Yunshen’s words were laced with sarcasm; Qin Yan’s face showed no discomfort but instead she let out a sigh of relief.

"I knew it, you wouldn’t want me to come close."

"I’ll go call Mrs. Zhang and the others to help you upstairs, then fetch a doctor."

"Oh, by the way, after all the commotion today, Yunshen, what would you like to eat..."

His face darkening instantly, Bo Yunshen glared at Qin Yan, feeling as if his fists were sinking into cotton.

Was she doing this on purpose?

Knowing he loathed Mrs. Zhang, yet still calling her over to sway before him!

Bo Yunshen’s right hand clenched tightly.

"No need!"

"I was injured, not crippled!"

"It’s not like I need help to even go upstairs!"

Qin Yan: "..."

Saying so, Bo Yunshen abruptly stood from his chair, about to walk out.

He had just taken a step when Qin Yan stopped him.

"Yunshen, have you thought about how you’ll explain this to Dad after you step out?"

Bo Yunshen frowned slightly: "Shouldn’t explaining be Director Qin’s job?"

With his gaze deepening, Qin Yan’s face looked oddly tense as he pursed his lips, "What, does Director Qin dare not admit that you previously wronged me?"
