Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Mom, Where is Dad?

"Yanyan, why did you come back by yourself?" Bo Yuanshan furrowed his brow and glanced at Mrs. Bo, "Your mother said Yunshen took you to the hospital?"

Noticing the cast on Qin Yan’s wrist, he frowned further. "What happened to your hand?"

Qin Yan waved her hand dismissively, first taking out her bag to hand money to the taxi driver outside.

Mrs. Bo frowned unhappily. "Yuanshan, look, this is your good daughter-in-law!"

"She doesn’t even speak a word when talked to, not a bit of manners!"

Bo Yuanshan’s expression deepened, he ignored Mrs. Bo and asked Mrs. Zhang, "Go see what the Young Madam is up to!"

After handing out the money, Qin Yan returned to find the tranquility of the living room had dissipated, leaving behind only a lingering mist but with a frigid atmosphere.

"Mom, what were you just doing? Why didn’t you take Yinyin along?"

Qin Yinyin came over, grabbed her hand, and also asked in a low voice, "Mom, where’s dad?"

"What’s wrong with your hand?"

Qin Yan’s hand recoiled slightly, "Mom is fine."

"Where’s that beast?"

Bo Yuanshan’s face darkened as he asked angrily, "Why did he let you come back by yourself? Doesn’t he know you didn’t bring any money?"

Qin Yan, feeling tired, thought it better not to stir up more trouble and said softly, "Yunshen was suddenly tasked with something urgent, and seeing that I was alright, he left!"

Bo Yuanshan’s expression grew stormy. "On a Saturday, what could be so urgent? Is he busy creating those scandalous headlines of his?"

Qin Yan’s eyes flickered.

"Yuanshan, the child is still here. Can’t you watch your words?"

Bo Yuanshan struggled to contain his anger and said coldly, "Your well-taught son, let’s see if I don’t beat him when he gets back!"

"Yanyan, how did your hand end up in a cast? Don’t tell me I was too harsh just now?"

Qin Yan moved her wrist and shook her head, speaking softly, "There’s a slight fracture. It’s too painful to move, but I might have trouble using my right hand for a while."

"Dad, please don’t just hit Yunshen whenever. He is the president of Bo Group, and being seen with injuries at the hospital is not a good look."

After Qin Yan took over the duties of the tea master, she refilled a cup of tea for Bo Yunshen.

Bo Yuanshan snorted, seemingly accepting Qin Yan’s words, and headed upstairs after finishing his tea, pulling out his cell phone to call Bo Yunshen.

After two attempts, there was no connection.

The neglected Bo Yunshen, driving his car, arrived at Twilight direct.

Twilight in the afternoon had a pleasant atmosphere, with old songs playing and people sipping coffee.

As Bo Yunshen entered, most of the people in the photos had left, replaced by a new group.

Bo Yunshen even searched Twilight’s lounge, but Lin Man was nowhere to be found.

It seemed like Lin Man hadn’t appeared at Twilight but was only in a photograph.

Bo Yunshen paused, then pulled out his phone to call Xu Lin.

"Who called you?"

Xu Lin was initially confused but quickly realized what Bo Yunshen was asking—he was asking who informed him about Lin Man being at Twilight.

"It was an unfamiliar number. I’m looking into it, but the registered owner and the user seem to be different..."

Bo Yunshen pressed his lips together, the dim, misty light casting enchanting shadows on his long eyelashes, making him appear exceptionally attractive.

Bo Yunshen hung up the call just as he saw another incoming call from Bo Yuanshan.

But he couldn’t be bothered to answer.

The phone kept ringing as Bo Yunshen lit up a cigarette, the sound finally ceasing in his ear.

By then, Qin Yan should have returned home, possibly complaining to the old man?

Otherwise, why would the old man be so urgently calling his less favored son?

Thinking it could only be a reprimand, Bo Yunshen lost interest and drove back to the old house.

The house was silent, no one was in the living room, and as Bo Yunshen approached the stairs, he saw Mrs. Zhang descending.

His face went pale as Mrs. Zhang, her face creased into a smile, approached too quickly for him to avoid.

"Young Master, you’ve returned."

"Where’s Qin Yan?"

Bo Yunshen’s mouth twitched, he turned his head away, refusing to look at Mrs. Zhang’s face.

"The Fourth Young Madam has already taken Miss Yinyin back."

"Young Master, how could you leave the Young Madam alone at the hospital? She didn’t have any money with her, what if the driver refused to take her, or if she encountered bad people..."

Bo Yunshen, already in a foul mood, felt his face turn even darker.

The temperature around him seemed to drop, Mrs. Zhang’s words choking off.

Watching as Bo Yunshen’s gaze shifted,

he tilted his head, his neck’s contour flowing smoothly, looking unreasonably sinister, "Is that what Qin Yan said?"

When he was away, did Qin Yan really exaggerate matters like this?

It seemed that the wound on his head and the whip marks on his back were not enough to satisfy Qin Yan!

She must be after his life!

Bo Yunshen’s thoughts shifted, but Mrs. Zhang shook her head, whispering, "No, the Young Madam didn’t say that."

"Only, Director Qin and you went out without taking any money."

Mrs. Zhang added a few words of explanation.

Bo Yunshen didn’t believe it.

Qin Yan would speak well of him, probably just to make the old man angrier.

Bo Yunshen didn’t feel like going upstairs; he just drove straight to Xing Yue Bay.

...

Xing Yue Bay.

Qin Yan had just arrived home when she saw missed calls from Lu Yi.

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Yan pressed down on her phone, choosing not to call back.

As the sky outside began to darken, Qin Yan went to the kitchen to make dinner, hearing a noise behind her without turning back, stirring the pot’s contents.

"Hungry? Dinner will be ready soon, Yinyin, go out and wait, Mommy will be right out."

A cold laugh came from behind.

Qin Yan paused for a moment, then turned around.

Seeing Bo Yunshen standing by the kitchen door, his expression stark.

"Mr. Bo, how come you’re here?"

Bo Yunshen sneered.

Mr. Bo?

In front of the old man, she kept calling him Yunshen, and now she’s not pretending?

"Xing Yue Bay is half mine, I come as I please!"

"Director Qin, shouldn’t you give me a key?"

Not seeing Lin Man, Bo Yunshen had a stomach full of fire with nowhere to vent.

Facing Qin Yan, his tone slowly became colder.

"Yunshen, are you planning to live here with me and Yinyin?"

Bo Yunshen raised an eyebrow, "Do I need to report everything I do to you?"

Qin Yan pressed her eyelashes down, placed the cooked dishes onto plates, and as she carried them out, she said, "So, you plan to turn this place into a harem?"

Bo Yunshen’s brow twitched.

A harem?

If he were really the Emperor, he would have dragged Qin Yan out and executed her!

"Yunshen, I just want to live quietly here with Yinyin, Xing Yue Bay isn’t suitable for you..."

Bo Yunshen’s brows knitted together, his face under the dim light casting a faint cold glow.

Previously, he had never noticed that Qin Yan had the ability to infuriate someone with just a sentence.

Now telling him that Xing Yue Bay wasn’t suitable for him?
