Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Yinyin Don’t Run Around

Her voice was hoarse from crying, and she pursed her cherry lips to ask, "Where is Mom?"

Bo Yunshen turned a deaf ear. How would he know?

Qin Yan had a high tolerance for alcohol; surely, she couldn’t still be lying in the hotel?

Anyway, he wouldn’t believe it if that was said.

"She left."

Bo Yunshen turned around.

There was no sound behind him. With one hand in his pocket, Bo Yunshen turned to look back and saw Qin Yinyin still standing there, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him.

"What’s wrong?"

He looked down at himself, utterly puzzled.

"Why? Do you like being here alone? Don’t you want to leave?"

"Dad? Are you going to take me with you and play hide-and-seek with Mom?"

Qin Yinyin choked up and retreated halfway. Her chubby little body bumped into the fountain, and she fell to the ground.

Bo Yunshen’s body suddenly stiffened.

Clumsily, she got up on her own and even managed to half-bend down to pat the dust off herself.

"Dad, Yinyin won’t leave, Yinyin won’t hide, Yinyin won’t run away."

"I’ll stay here and wait for Mom. I’ll be in a place where Mom can find Yinyin."

Her hair was tied up in an adorable little bun. Even though a day had passed and her hair tips were somewhat messy, she still had a small sunflower hair clip pinned on her head.

Her bright black eyes and delicate little face held tightly clenched small hands.

For the first time, she looked somewhat like the pitiful child in the movies...

Bo Yunshen knew that after the kidnapping incident, Qin Yinyin must have suffered some trauma in her heart.

And in that, he was unavoidably responsible!

He paused, then said in a low voice, "No hide-and-seek, I’ll take you back!"

"The moment your mom calls, I’ll hand you over to her!"

Qin Yinyin didn’t move; Bo Yunshen grew impatient. He stepped forward, bent down, and picked her up, his voice low and faint.

"What are you afraid of?"

Did Qin Yinyin inherit Qin Yan’s vanity, thinking she’s everyone’s favorite?

Bo Yunshen scoffed and turned back.

Gu Jinyan sat in the passenger seat, cooling off with the air conditioning, and when he saw Bo Yunshen carrying Qin Yinyin back, the smile on his face deepened.

He got out of the car and opened the back seat door for Bo Yunshen, teasing him with a smile:

"Old Bo, who are you scowling at?"

"Even hurt, still carrying your little niece, and you have the nerve to tell me not to meddle too much?"

"I think you’ve got the makings of a ’daughter-slave’!"

Bo Yunshen: "..."

His face clouded with irritation, and for a moment, he was rendered speechless by Gu Jinyan’s words, unable to utter a single word.

At the same time, at the Ritz-Carlton.

Qin Yan opened her eyes and looked up at the hotel ceiling; the room was dark, the lights turned off.

Qin Yan’s pupils contracted, and she suddenly sat up in bed, grabbed her phone to check the time.

Nine o’clock at night?

Yinyin!

Her face turned pale with fright. She switched on the light, put on her shoes, and ran directly out of the hotel.

Her phone had been destroyed yesterday on the mountain, and she had not yet had the chance to tell Yinyin’s teacher her new number.

Qin Yan was utterly helpless, and in her daze, she recalled that the last time Yinyin had disappeared, it seemed Bo Yunshen had taken her.

There were a few missed calls on her phone, and just as Qin Yan tapped into her contacts, her phone indicated a low battery and shut off automatically.

Qin Yan was almost going crazy, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears.

Yinyin...

She had left Yinyin behind again...

Exiting the hotel, Qin Yan hailed a car and gave the driver the address to Hai Wan Xiang Xie.

Bo Yunshen’s residence was in a secluded location, with only Hai Wan Xiang Xie as a standalone villa. The driver glanced at Qin Yan through the rearview mirror, "Miss, what are you doing going there? There’s no ride back from that place!"

Qin Yan licked her lips but did not respond.

After stopping for a couple of minutes, she tapped on the driver’s seat, "Sir, please hurry!"

The driver glanced at her again, displeased, "Miss, the speed limit on this road is fifty, anything faster would be speeding, and that comes with a fine!"

"Besides, safety comes first, you know?"

Desperation choked Qin Yan’s voice, "Sir, I’ll pay extra, can you just go faster? I urgently need to find my three-year-old daughter!"

The driver, being a man of professional integrity, did not pick up the pace despite Qin Yan’s pleas.

"What’s the rush? If the child isn’t with you, she must be with her father. Just give him a call."

Qin Yan blinked her long eyelashes, "My phone is out of battery..."

The driver handed over his own cell phone.

Bo Yunshen’s number was new, but Qin Yan, sensitive to numbers, remembered it.

The call went through, but no one answered.

Qin Yan’s eyelids twitched desperately; after all, Bo Yunshen didn’t really like Qin Yinyin...

After hesitating, Qin Yan dialed Xu Lin.

"Secretary Xu, did Yinyin’s teacher call you? I..."

Qin Yan started, her voice breaking.

Qin Yinyin was her whole life, and she was genuinely terrified...

Xu Lin paused for a moment before responding, "Director Qin, the teacher did call, but when I arrived, Miss Yinyin was already gone."

"What? Then... have you told Yunshen?"

Xu Lin hesitated and said, "I did call Mr. Bo, but Mr. Bo said, ’Whose child, they should handle it!’"

"Director Qin, you know Mr. Bo’s character better than I do. Since he said he wouldn’t intervene...So, it’s likely that Miss Yinyin wasn’t picked up by the president."

Qin Yan’s vision darkened, and she hung up.

Lu Xiang had been so busy lately that he didn’t even have time for a phone call. If it wasn’t Bo Yunshen, she couldn’t think of anyone else who could have taken Yinyin!

Qin Yan felt as agitated as an ant on a hot pan and finally, after a long moment, dialed Lu Yi’s number.

...

In the car.

Ever since she got on, Qin Yinyin had been incessantly asking Bo Yunshen where Qin Yan was.

Bo Yunshen really didn’t feel like dealing with Qin Yinyin. The atmosphere quieted for a few minutes, and Bo Yunshen, unaccustomed to the silence, looked up at the rearview mirror and met Qin Yinyin’s moist eyes.

Her teeth tightly biting her lower lip, she looked at Bo Yunshen with a sense of grievance.

He... actually felt a pang of guilt under Qin Yinyin’s gaze.

"Old Bo, look at you, so unsympathetic. Isn’t it easy for you just to find a mother?"

"Look at your little niece, she is crying!"

Gu Jinyan glanced at Bo Yunshen, always feeling that Old Bo definitely knew where Qin Yan was!

Sure enough, less than a minute later, Bo Yunshen turned the steering wheel, turning the car around.

"Stop crying, I’ll take you to your mom!"

When Bo Yunshen and Qin Yan had parted, she was sleeping at the Ritz-Carlton. Since they were passing by Xing Yue Bay anyway, and he couldn’t get through on the phone, Bo Yunshen decided to go directly there to see if Qin Yan was still around.
