Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Did She Marry Him Initially Because She Loved Him?

After getting the clothes, Bo Yunshen quickly entered the bathroom, took a shower, changed clothes, and walked straight out of the hotel room.

While going downstairs, he called Gu Jinyan.

As soon as the call connected, Bo Yunshen announced his intention, "Old Gu, let’s go for a drink!"

Gu Jinyan cursed under his breath, "Old Bo, have you lost your mind? Are you not aware of your physical condition? Drinking at this time, do you have a death wish?"

A wrinkle formed between Bo Yunshen’s eyebrows, and he coldly stated the name "Night Club."

Gu Jinyan laughed irritably, exclaiming, "Can’t you ever be serious?"

How was he not serious? Was Qin Yan flirting with a man in public not serious?

Bo Yunshen thought of Qin Yan, and his face turned ashen.

Ever since they had gone to the mountains to make sacrifices for Bo Yunci yesterday, Qin Yan had nearly driven him to death!

Had she married him because she loved him?

It seemed that she wanted his life instead!

The call was followed by a busy tone, and Gu Jinyan glanced at his phone screen and swore.

He closed a file with his hand, stood up from behind his desk, and dutifully went to find Bo Yunshen.

Gu Group wasn’t far from the Night Club, and he arrived there even before Bo Yunshen did. Narrowing his eyes, he scanned the hair on Bo Yunshen and his face turned pale.

"Old Bo? Do you have a death wish, daring to shower with such serious injuries on your body?"

Bo Yunshen licked his dry lips, a simple action made incredibly seductive.

"Why so much nonsense?"

Gu Jinyan: "..."

He really didn’t understand this world. Old Bo seemed to have a death wish, recklessly toying with his own life!

Seeing him heading inside, Gu Jinyan, without explanation, forcefully dragged Bo Yunshen to the hospital and had two bottles of antibiotics administered.

When they left the hospital, the outdoor sky was already darkening.

With the city lights coming on, piercing through the darkness and casting different hues on their hair, the surroundings illuminated Gu Jinyan and Bo Yunshen in new colors.

Relentlessly, Bo Yunshen insisted on going for a drink, and Gu Jinyan, unable to dissuade him, followed behind.

The two went to Night Club.

Inside, the music blared, casting shades of purple and red lights, weaving through the decadent crowd, and splitting Bo Yunshen’s expression into countless colors.

The two sat at the bar, and he extended his hand to light a cigarette. On the ash-colored glass countertop, a multi-colored drink was placed.

With flickering crimson fingertips, Bo Yunshen exhaled a puff of smoke, his handsome face enlaced with a hint of bewitchment.

Gu Jinyan could feel that, since the moment they sat down, the surrounding women began to stir restlessly.

"Old Bo, not to criticize you, but why hit the bars when you’re injured?"

"Did Uncle Bo beat you again yesterday? Tell me, why can’t you see reason?"

Bo Yunshen flicked his eyelids, glaring at Gu Jinyan, "Why have you been so talkative lately?"

Gu Jinyan smiled and leaned a bit closer, teasing, "Tell me, is it something to do with your sister-in-law that can’t be resolved?"

Bo Yunshen was displeased, "Qin Yan? Can’t I handle her?"

"What can she do besides getting the old man to whip me a few times?"

Gu Jinyan’s eyelids twitched, pride goeth before the fall!

Old Bo was a perfect example!

Well deserved!

He held his drink, took a sip, and his lips were tinged with a different hue. Under the light, they appeared even more tempting and moist.

The nightlife had just begun, and without Qin Yan around, the air was fresh. At this moment, no one could drag him away!

Bo Yunshen was clutching a wine glass, his lips just beginning to curve into a smile, when the slim phone on the glass table suddenly lit up.

A string of numbers danced wildly across the screen. Bo Yunshen glanced at the screen, his eyebrows twitching.

It was Xu Lin.

He originally didn’t plan to answer, but suddenly remembered the task he had assigned to Xu Lin. Without thinking, he reached for the phone and slid to answer.

"Is everything taken care of?"

Xu Lin hesitated before responding.

He feared that Bo Yunshen might hang up after hearing his response, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Bo, I just received a call from Miss Yinyin’s teacher..."

"The teacher said that after school was dismissed, no one came to pick her up."

"The child’s mother couldn’t be reached, so they asked if her father could pick her up..."

Xu Lin’s voice was cautious, but suddenly, the line went quiet.

Apart from the faint sounds of the bar, there was nothing else.

Xu Lin: "..."

"Mr. Bo?"

Bo Yunshen suddenly snapped back, "What does that have to do with me? She’s not my child—why should I go?"

Xu Lin was rendered speechless by Bo Yunshen’s retort.

Hesitating briefly, Bo Yunshen cut off the phone connection.

Gu Jinyan’s teasing voice came through, "Old Bo, no offense, but you’re really failing as a dad, aren’t you? Instead of picking up your child, you run off to drink?"

"Your poor niece is really unlucky to have such an unreliable dad!"

In that moment, Bo Yunshen’s face seemed to merge with the lights, turning quickly from purple to bright red.

Bo Yunshen glanced at him and Gu Jinyan laughed, waving his hands, "Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking, okay?"

Bo Yunshen didn’t want to bother with Qin Yan’s problems, but now that he was aware of the issue, he couldn’t ignore it.

Otherwise, he truly feared that if something bad happened to Qin Yan’s precious child, she might come after him like a madwoman.

"Old Bo, you can always come to Night Club, but a daughter, there’s only one. Let’s go pick up the little niece first!"

He couldn’t help chuckling, his eyes twinkling uncontrollably with mockery.

Bo Yunshen: "..."

He scoffed, "Whoever’s daughter it is should be the one to pick her up, I certainly won’t!"

Saying so, Bo Yunshen took out his phone and dialed Qin Yan.

The line was busy, and the first call didn’t connect. Bo Yunshen made a second attempt.

Bo Yunshen’s expression darkened.

Qin Yan was really something, finding such a man to take care of her child while she happily gallivanted elsewhere!

Furious and dizzy, he hung up on the still unresponsive call and reached for his wine glass, tilting his head back to gulp it down.

Xu Lin’s call came through again, Bo Yunshen’s eyes dark and unfathomable, like a deep, elusive sea.

Gu Jinyan nudged him, saying, "Answer it."

Bo Yunshen glanced at Gu Jinyan and took the call.

Xu Lin’s voice was no longer cautious but trembled with apprehension, "President, Miss Yinyin’s teacher called to urge again, saying... if they don’t see a parent in ten minutes, they will stop looking after Miss Yinyin."

Bo Yunshen: "..."

"If Qin Yan doesn’t care about her, what use is it telling me?!"

"She has the surname Qin, not Bo! Do I have any responsibility for her?"

Inside Bo Yunshen’s chest, a layer of inexplicable restlessness surged. The calls from Xu Lin drew all of his ire, "Haven’t I already said to stop bothering me with matters concerning Qin Yan and her daughter!"
