Chapter 232: What, Playing Hard to Get?

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: What, Playing Hard to Get?

"I’ll sleep outside..."

As he spoke, he tilted his head and flashed a smile, a hint of mischief coloring his expression.

Bo Yunshen sized up Qin Yan. "What, playing hard to get?"

"Qin Yan, stop flattering yourself, I’m not interested in you!"

"Let’s sleep!"

Who knew if Qin Yan, once she went out, might come back in and try to seduce him?

Keeping Qin Yan under his watch was the safest option!

Besides, if the old man found out that he had come all the way to Xing Yue Bay and Qin Yan ended up sleeping on the couch in the living room, who knows what he might infer from that!

Qin Yan: "..."

Her mind was a muddled mess, Yunshen was always unpredictable.

She couldn’t figure it out and, closing her eyes, drifted off into a heavy sleep.

On the other hand, because he was close to Qin Yan, he could smell the fragrance of her recent bath.

The body wash must have been lemon-scented; the fragrance was faint but became clearer the closer he got.

Qin Yan’s breathing steadied, her eyes closed, clearly asleep.

Bo Yunshen grudgingly rolled over and off of Qin Yan, and lay down beside her.

Sharing a bed, he didn’t believe Qin Yan had no thoughts about him; who knew what she might be scheming!

Bo Yunshen closed his eyes and feigned sleep, secretly deciding that if Qin Yan made a move, he would expose her shameless nature!

After waiting for over an hour, Qin Yan made no movement; instead, her breathing became more and more even...

He flicked his eyelashes open; the overhead fan was still on, Qin Yan’s hair tangled on her face, her complexion pale, her sleeping form somewhat frail.

Qin Yan’s face was flawless, her eyelashes casting a soft shadow on her lower eyelids.

She was wearing a silk spaghetti strap nightgown and had been fussing earlier, leaving her clothing disheveled, exposing the snow-white skin of her neck and chest, which suddenly caught Bo Yunshen’s eyes.

His eyebrows twitched, his already deep gaze growing even more inscrutable.

Unconsciously, Bo Yunshen’s hand hooked Qin Yan’s body towards him, and before he realized it, his large hand was resting on Qin Yan’s slender waist.

His body felt slightly warm, as if possessed, his eyes unable to look away from Qin Yan.

His fingertips played with the strap of Qin Yan’s nightgown...

Dressed like that in the middle of the night, in front of him, wasn’t Qin Yan trying to seduce him?

Perhaps Qin Yan hadn’t been sleeping at all, just waiting for him to make a move so she could cling to him, Bo Yunshen.

Bo Yunshen cursed under his breath and abruptly got up.

His fingertips still retained the soft, delicate sensation of Qin Yan’s body.

Soft and light.

Bo Yunshen took a deep breath and suddenly stood up.

Qin Yan really was skilled, already prepared to seduce him, yet he hadn’t noticed!

He got off the bed, walked out of the master bedroom, and fetched a glass of cold water from the dispenser.

His eyes became clearer and clearer.

After hesitating for a moment, Bo Yunshen lay down directly on the living room couch.

Qin Yan was right, he had to work tomorrow; he didn’t have time to indulge in her antics on United States time!

Wasn’t Qin Yan trying to seduce him?

He simply wouldn’t give her the chance!

Mulling this over, Bo Yunshen turned over, lay on the couch, and closed his eyes.

...

The next day.

Bo Yunshen was woken up by Qin Yinyin.

He was sleeping soundly, but the little one kept touching his face, then his hair, disturbing Yunshen’s peace.

He suddenly opened his eyes and met Qin Yinyin’s bright, wide eyes.

Yunshen had a serious case of grumpiness when waking up, but faced with Qin Yinyin’s bun-like face, he couldn’t find it in himself to be angry.

"Daddy, you’re awake!"

Yunshen sat up from the couch, having slept for a few hours, his head throbbing slightly.

"Daddy, why are you sleeping here?"

Yunshen remained silent.

After Qin Yinyin asked, there was an awkward atmosphere, especially since Yunshen didn’t know how to respond to her question.

Was he supposed to tell her that he feared her mother would try to seduce him if he didn’t leave the bed?

He definitely wasn’t as shameless as Qin Yan!

Fortunately, Qin Yinyin was young and didn’t dwell on the issue.

"I made breakfast. I’ll go wake Mommy up, and you can go freshen up, Daddy!"

Qin Yinyin had already changed her clothes. She wore a pink princess dress and hopped towards the master bedroom.

Before long, Qin Yan followed Qin Yinyin out of the room.

Qin Yan looked quite healthy, except her legs were limping, likely due to an injury she had sustained in the mountains.

"Mommy, I heated up some milk and fried some eggs."

"Yinyin is amazing."

Qin Yan smiled, her hair still damp near her ears, presumably from washing up, looking like she had slept well.

On the other hand, he originally had injuries, and after spending a night on the couch, his whole body ached terribly!

"Director Qin, this breakfast is quite interesting!"

"If I recall correctly, your daughter is only three years old!"

While Qin Yinyin was in the kitchen, Yunshen glanced coldly at Qin Yan, "True to being the Marketing Director of Bo Group, you really know how to exploit labor!"

Qin Yan remained silent.

The back of the couch was high, and Qin Yan, coming out from the bedroom, didn’t notice the living room, thinking Yunshen had already left.

"Yunshen, why are you still here?"

Yunshen half-squinted his eyes, his gaze intense, staring at Qin Yinyin behind Qin Yan.

"Is Director Qin trying to rush me away?"

"Mommy, let Daddy have breakfast before he goes, okay?"

Qin Yan turned around and saw Qin Yinyin holding a plate, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Without saying a word, she went to the master bedroom’s bathroom and fetched new toiletries for Yunshen.

Halfway through the breakfast, the doorbell of Xing Yue Bay rang, and Qin Yinyin, who had finished eating first, ran to open the door.

"Yinyin, who is it?"

Qin Yan asked and then saw the man who carried Qin Yinyin in.

"It’s me."

"Lu Yi?" Qin Yan was surprised. "What brings you here?"

Lu Yi paused when he noticed Yunshen at the dining table, his smile unwavering, "Kai Yuan’s PR department has done it roughly seven or eight."

"But the opening ceremony is your responsibility."

"Mr. Bo takes this matter seriously, doesn’t he? I assumed you’d go to the company earlier."

Then, lifting Qin Yinyin in his arms, he added, "I came by to pick Yinyin up on my way and take her to Jin Yang Guang."

Light streamed through the windows, the sunlight falling on Yunshen who couldn’t hide the coldness on his face.

Did they think he was a fool?

Lu Yi lived in the city center, a few minutes’ walk from Bo Group. Picking up Yinyin on his way?
