Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Want!

Qin Yan lived on the outskirts of the city, and at this time, it was the rush hour for work. It took him more than half an hour to drive there to pick up Qin Yinyin. How was that on the way?

Bo Yunshen slammed his knife and fork onto the table with a clatter.

"Clang—"

Qin Yan and Lu Yi’s gazes all fell on Bo Yunshen.

He didn’t seem uncomfortable in the slightest, his thinly-lipped smile curling upwards as he raised his wrist to check the time.

"It’s eight nineteen. The Bo Group starts work at nine in the morning."

"Cousin, it takes more than half an hour from here to Bo Group. After dropping off Yinyin at the company, won’t you be late?"

The corner of his mouth tugged upward as he smiled, "Cousin, you seem to have it pretty easy as the PR Director, having the time to drop off a colleague’s daughter at school during work hours!"

Bo Yunshen emphasized the word "colleague" with particular heaviness, and Lu Yi’s complexion changed.

He turned his head to Qin Yan, "Could it be that the Bo Group’s reward and punishment system isn’t clear enough?"

Qin Yan paused for a moment, "Mr. Bo, there’s still plenty of time. Whether Director Lu will be late or not is still uncertain. It’s a bit too early for you to be picking a fight now."

Bo Yunshen’s pupils darkened, as if there was an indissoluble block of thick ink inside, blurring all the emotions in his eyes.

Qin Yan stiffened under Bo Yunshen’s gaze.

Picking a fight?

To stand up for Lu Yi, Qin Yan had even gone so far as to say such a word!

Their relationship truly was lamentable!

Should he offer up his place to Lu Yi?

"Pick a fight, well said!"

"What’s the rush, Director Qin? Being late is just a fine."

"Director Lu has such great love from his colleagues, right? This little bit of money shouldn’t matter to him!"

Qin Yan: "..."

Qin Yan was at a loss for words from being choked by Bo Yunshen. She gave Bo Yunshen a faint glance before picking up the sun shirt she had prepared in advance for Qin Yinyin from the sofa, and reached out to take Yinyin by the hand, intending to leave.

"Yinyin, let’s go. Mommy will take you!"

Lu Yi hesitated for a moment and stopped Qin Yan, "You go to the company first. The matter with the opening ceremony being postponed still needs your approval!"

Qin Yan knew what Lu Yi was thinking—it was nothing more than Bo Yunshen waking them up in the middle of the night yesterday, insisting on dealing with a minor real estate issue right away.

Anyone with eyes could see that Bo Yunshen was looking for trouble with her!

Lu Yi was certainly worried that if she didn’t return to the company immediately, Bo Yunshen would throw another temper tantrum.

"The Kai Yuan property in the Tong City suburbs isn’t in a prime location, nor does it have the quiet and suitable environment for recuperation. We never planned to do a second phase."

"This small property isn’t within my jurisdiction!"

"Lu Yi, you go to work. I’ll take Yinyin. I’ve already been docked two hundred and seventy thousand in bonuses this month; a few hundred in lateness fees doesn’t matter."

"There’s no need to involve you because of me and Yinyin."

Lu Yi: "It’s okay, I don’t..."

As they were speaking, Qin Yinyin was suddenly yanked away by Bo Yunshen.

"Director Lu, I remember the words I said at the hospital yesterday. It seems you haven’t remembered?"

As soon as Bo Yunshen spoke, a shadow flickered across Lu Yi’s otherwise gentle face—a fleeting emotion that lasted less than a second.

In his mind flashed the proclamation of sovereignty that Bo Yunshen had made the day before.

The change on his face was caught by Bo Yunshen, who scoffed coldly, "It seems you do remember, Director Lu. Then I won’t bother repeating myself a second time!"

"Yinyin, I’ll take her!"

"I’d advise Director Lu to do less of violating company policies!"

"There must be a limit, Director Lu has already played hooky numerous times. If I catch wind of anything else, don’t expect me to overlook it just because we’re cousins!"

Bo Yunshen’s deep, ink-like pupils quickly flashed with a hint of mockery as he spoke.

He held Qin Yinyin in his arms, softening his icy tone slightly:

"Yinyin, do you want Daddy to take you to school?"

A layer of bright light instantly shattered in Qin Yinyin’s eyes as she declared emphatically, "Yes!"

A sneer swiftly crossed Bo Yunshen’s exceptionally handsome face.

He carried the child and headed toward the front door, deliberately bumping hard into Lu Yi’s shoulder as he passed by.

"Sorry, excuse me!"

Though Bo Yunshen uttered words of apology, his attitude seemed more like a challenge.

Holding Qin Yinyin with one hand and her backpack with the other, he strode firmly towards the exterior, gradually distancing himself.

Qin Yan reached up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and quietly apologized to Lu Yi: "Lu Yi, I’m sorry to have wasted your time. It’s getting late, let’s head to the office."

Lu Yi shook his head, his temper seeming as good as ever, not taking offense even with Bo Yunshen’s rude behavior towards him.

"It’s fine, but has Yunshen ever taken Yinyin before? Can he manage it?"

Qin Yan nodded.

"It’s okay, he’s taken kids before. Besides, he is Yinyin’s father, and Yinyin hopes that Yunshen can take her."

Qin Yan’s voice was indifferent as she spoke, picking up her small suit jacket and bending down to put on her shoes, not noticing that Lu Yi’s pupils had tightened upon hearing her words.

After leaving Xing Yue Bay, Lu Yi and Qin Yan walked one after the other toward the parking area.

Seemingly offhand, Lu Yi said, "I noticed Yunshen’s injuries seem worse, did his uncle whip him again last night?"

Qin Yan’s forward motion stiffened for a moment. Ever since Bo Yunshen had been reassigned to Bo Group, getting whipped had apparently become a regular ordeal.

She nodded, and Lu Yi continued, "And you, what’s your decision?"

"What?"

Qin Yan looked at Lu Yi, bewildered, repeating, "What decision?"

"Do you want to divorce Yunshen?" Lu Yi reached for the passenger door, signaling for Qin Yan to get in the car, "Yunshen has admitted it—he wants you dead!"

"With the recording, if you divorce now, you could fight for more for yourself."

"Qin Yan, everyone has seen how he treats you! I hope you’ll give it serious thought!"

Qin Yan’s expression remained impassive, showing no emotional reaction to Lu Yi’s lengthy speech.

"Lu Yi, Yinyin needs a father."

...

Bo Yunshen stuffed Qin Yinyin into the backseat of the car and started the vehicle, hesitating as he was about to press the gas pedal.

Something wasn’t right!

Why should he, inconveniently and selflessly, take Qin Yan’s daughter to school?

Was it to give Qin Yan and Lu Yi space to indulge in romance and love?

Bo Yunshen clenched the steering wheel tightly and hit it once, startling Qin Yinyin in the backseat.

"Daddy?"

Bo Yunshen raised an eyebrow and glanced at the rearview mirror, his tone far from pleasant: "What?"

Undaunted, Qin Yinyin presented her cartoon watch from her wrist up to Bo Yunshen’s face: "I’m going to be late, Daddy, and there’s a penalty for that..."
