The Cold-hearted CEO's Unwanted Bride
Chapter 269: Yunshen, do you want to come in and sit?

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Yunshen, do you want to come in and sit?

"OK! Have fun first, I’ll take Manman back."

No sooner had he spoken than Bo Yunshen reached out to pull Lin Man towards the outside.

It was still early, just after seven o’clock.

The night was just beginning to cast its hues as Bo Yunshen drove to the Ritz-Carlton and escorted Lin Man to her room door.

Before closing the door, Lin Man looked at Bo Yunshen, her cheeks tinged with shyness,

"Yunshen, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Bo Yunshen paused, a fleeting gleam crossing his eyes swiftly.

He stood still for a moment, his gaze locked on Lin Man, and after a few seconds, he conjured a smile on his handsome face,

"No, I just got a call from Xu Lin; there’s some business at the company I need to attend to."

Lin Man nodded, "Then be careful driving back!"

Bo Yunshen nodded with a smile.

Manman was always so understanding. Qin Yan, that woman, had nothing to offer but her face!

He was certainly not as vulgar as Lu Yi!

After leaving the hotel, there was still time before his meeting with Xu Lin.

Bo Yunshen sat in his car, lighting up a cigarette.

Silence filled the air, and Bo Yunshen’s heart quieted down as well.

After the impulse, the details of those events began to permeate before his eyes, and as his rational mind returned, Bo Yunshen involuntarily thought of that list.

Those matters should logically be overseen by the marketing department.

But the list had been sent to the president’s office by Lu Yi’s secretary.

Was this Lu Yi’s idea, or Qin Yan’s?

It must be Qin Yan!

Did she have Lu Yi send it up as a way to test his attitude?

Bo Yunshen scoffed.

Did she think he, Bo Yunshen, would forget about Manman in three years?

Or had their recent time together made her, Qin Yan, overly confident, assuming he was ready to let go of the past and live a good life with her?

Qin Yan was dreaming!

As Bo Yunshen mulled over these thoughts, his window was tapped. He exhaled the dense mist from between his lips and turned to face Xu Lin.

Bo Yunshen rolled down the window, and Xu Lin leaned in, passing over the documents.

The file bag was sealed, Xu Lin hadn’t tampered with it.

Not that it mattered if the bag was unsealed; even if you gave Xu Lin ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare look inside the file bag.

Regardless of the results of the evaluation, it was unlikely to be good news...

Bo Yunshen put the cigarette in his mouth, his eyes lightly sweeping over Xu Lin, "Anything else?"

Xu Lin stammered.

Bo Yunshen’s gaze drifted over, sharp as a dagger, making Xu Lin’s heart tighten.

He kept silent, but Bo Yunshen had questions of his own.

"The person who sent Manman’s photo, did you find out who it was?"

Xu Lin nodded, "Director Lu was the one who had it sent."

"Lu Yi?"

Bo Yunshen was surprised, then it made sense.

His eyes darkened as if they would merge with the night. Despite the raging heat, Xu Lin couldn’t feel a hint of warmth.

The good wife he had chosen was indeed very likable, haunting her cousin endlessly.

And to think she even managed to attract his attention towards Manman!

Bo Yunshen’s fingers tightened around the list, his smile taking on an ironic edge.

"It seems the PR department doesn’t have enough to do if Director Lu has the time to meddle in marketing affairs."

Bo Yunshen lowered his lashes, speaking softly, "Tell Director Qin, I’m giving him three days to secure the land on Mo Deng Street!"

Xu Lin: "..."

Mo Deng Street was designated by Tong City Government as a commercial district, and over the next five years, the focus of Tong City’s development and economy might very well converge there!

Such an important location was not only coveted by Bo Group, but also by other companies, each of whom wanted a piece of the action!

If this project could be secured, the profits it would bring to Bo Group would definitely be on par with those from Luo Shen Bay!

Therefore, the project simply could not be rushed; Mr. Bo’s decision was a deliberate difficulty thrown at Director Lu!

But Xu Lin had learned to be shrewd, even though he clearly understood, he did not naively speak up for Lu Yi!

"Okay!"

Hearing Xu Lin’s response, Bo Yunshen rolled up the car window and drove straight back to Hai Wan Xiang Xie.

He threw himself onto the sofa and, grasping the document envelope, suddenly craved a smoke.

That overwhelming urge to smoke was irresistible, and with no restraint left, he grabbed a cigarette from the pack and placed it between his lips.

He exhaled a wisp of white smoke and tossed the file onto the coffee table.

Humph.

That kid, Xu Lin, was quite efficient when it came to underhanded dealings!

Was he in such a hurry to see the results?

That poor little girl was so unintelligent; he refused to believe she could be his daughter!

Thinking this, Bo Yunshen stood up and walked a few steps toward the staircase before suddenly stopping.

This wasn’t right!

With this document in hand, he could now sever ties with Qin Yan!

Wasn’t she always insisting that the little brat was his child?

He wanted to see these test results, not because he hoped the little brat was his daughter, but to slap Qin Yan in the face!

Bo Yunshen turned around, reached out to tear open the envelope, and pulled out the thin sheet bearing the paternity results.

Furrowing his brows, because of Lu Xiangxiang, he had seen paternity test reports before; Bo Yunshen couldn’t make sense of the beginning.

So his gaze went directly to the results section.

Seeing the results, Bo Yunshen’s breathing seemed to be cut off.

His eyes sharply narrowed, fixating on the last line of text.

Father-daughter relationship?!

The paternity test he asked Xu Lin to perform turned out to have the same results as the one Lu Xiangxiang mailed to Bo Group?!

Bo Yunshen’s fingers gripping the document clenched violently.

Did he really have a daughter with Qin Yan?

Sitting in the silent living room, Bo Yunshen looked back in thought, wracking his brains, failing to recall when he had ever been intimate with Qin Yan.

Bo Yunshen’s complexion was ashen.

Seeing the result, his first instinct was to ask Qin Yan what the deal was with Qin Yinyin!

But as soon as this thought arose, Bo Yunshen squelched it.

No, he couldn’t ask.

Qin Yan, that woman, had schemed to break him and Lin Man up three years ago just to marry into a wealthy family.

If he made Qin Yinyin’s identity clear, what would Qin Yan do with her to his disadvantage?

Besides, Qin Yan had never uttered a true word to him!

What could he possibly find out from her?

He held the corner of the paternity test and in a few swift moves, tore the document to shreds!

Suddenly, the vicious scar on Qin Yan’s abdomen surfaced in his mind.

Three years ago, he had locked Qin Yan in the bedroom. He heard that...

To give birth to Yinyin, she had sliced open her belly with scissors.

In the midst of summer, a chill seemed to cascade through Bo Yunshen’s heart as a cold sweat formed on his back.

His fingers tensed slightly, his usually handsome face now unusually pale.

How could he be blamed for this? He was clueless about the origin of Qin Yinyin!

At that time, Qin Yan’s reputation was in tatters and disgraceful, and she even drove Lin Man away!

She was always capable of any trick; this matter could only be blamed on Qin Yan!

Regardless of what Bo Yunshen thought, there was a nagging dissatisfaction in his heart; no matter what, if it hadn’t been for him, Qin Yinyin could have been born at full term...
