Chapter 271: Chapter 271 Dad Wants to Apologize to Aunt Xiangxiang

Twenty minutes later,

Gu Jinyan and Bo Yunshen knocked on Lu Xiang’s door.

She had just opened the door, confronted with Gu Jinyan’s eyes, and instinctively wanted to slam the door shut.

Gu Jinyan’s face darkened, and he extended his arm to block the door.

He was handsome, with peach-blossom eyes, distinctly black and white, which, at that moment, looked severely gloomy.

"Miss Lu, is this how you treat your guests?"

Lu Xiang’s temper flared more; she scoffed and raised her voice, "Mr. Gu, I have a fault, and that is, I, Lu Xiang, never entertain uninvited guests!"

With that, she didn’t care about Gu Jinyan’s stern expression and forcefully tried to close the door.

Bo Yunshen couldn’t stand by as the animosity between Gu Jinyan and Lu Xiang was none of his concern; he was here for the child!

But Gu Jinyan’s standing position effectively blocked him.

Without saying a word, Bo Yunshen put one hand against the door and the other on Gu Jinyan’s shoulder, pulling him away.

Lu Xiang got startled.

Seeing it was Bo Yunshen, she was even less welcoming.

"Mr. Bo?"

"What, two grown men plan to bully a woman?"

Bo Yunshen’s lips curled slightly, his expression frosty.

"Miss Lu, I’m here for Yinyin!"

Lu Xiang didn’t believe it.

She knew very well about the paternity test she had mailed to Bo Group, which hadn’t even caused a ripple.

Supporting Yinyin would require Yanyan to exhaust all her scheming skills!

"Looking for Yinyin? Mr. Bo, you’ve got the wrong door!"

Bo Yunshen glanced at Lu Xiang, "Miss Lu, I called Qin Yan before coming here."

"I am one of Qin Yinyin’s legal guardians. Are you trying to make me go through legal channels by not letting me in?"

Lu Xiang’s expression changed, and she snorted, stepping aside.

Bo Yunshen and Gu Jinyan entered.

Qin Yinyin was sitting on the sofa, drowsy. She had taken a bath, wearing a pink floral nightgown, her arms white as lotus root, her hair wet and fuzzy, her tiny head bobbing now and then.

She looked like a cute pink dumpling.

Bo Yunshen’s gaze paused; as he walked over, he noticed an empty ice cream box on the table in front of Qin Yinyin.

Bo Yunshen’s gaze narrowed, turning his head to stare intently at Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang’s brows twitched, Bo Yunshen’s gaze was somewhat scary, she instinctively took a step back, and upon realizing, looked displeased at Bo Yunshen.

"What are you doing?"

Bo Yunshen pointed to the ice cream box and asked, "Who ate this?"

"Yinyin did!"

A layer of frost covered Bo Yunshen’s face; he glared fiercely at Lu Xiang, then strode to the sofa, crouched down, and spoke softly,

"Yinyin?"

Hearing Bo Yunshen’s voice, Qin Yinyin’s eyelashes fluttered, and seeing it was him, her small body snuggled closer.

"Daddy, Yinyin is sleepy."

Bo Yunshen remembered the last time he took Qin Yinyin for ice cream, and she ended up with a fever and stomachache, which worried him.

He crouched between the table and the sofa, looked up, and saw the empty box on the table.

The capable person Qin Yan found to care for the child!

Such a responsible mother she is!

Entrusting her child to someone else without a single warning?

What if something happened to Yinyin, what bargaining chips could she possibly have in her palms?

Bo Yunshen reached out, lifted Qin Yinyin from the sofa, and was about to walk out.

Lu Xiang blocked him:

"Bo Yunshen, what are you doing?"

Bo Yunshen’s gaze was gloomy, "Isn’t it obvious enough?"

"It is obvious, but I don’t agree with you taking Yinyin away!"

Lu Xiang glanced at him mockingly from head to toe and said coldly, "You haven’t cared about the child in three years of marriage, what are you pretending for now?"

"Did Old Mr. Bo awaken you with a whip?"

Lu Xiang’s words were unpleasant, even Gu Jinyan couldn’t help but twitch.

Yunshen’s face grew cold, and Gu Jinyan instinctively took a step toward Lu Xiang.

"I’m pretending, better than Miss Lu anyway!"

"Just last week, I visited a patient in the hospital, and today I bought the child ice cream!"

Lu Xiang felt somewhat guilty.

She was busy usually and had forgotten about Qin Yinyin’s hospitalization last week.

She pursed her lips tightly, Yunshen’s tone becoming increasingly grave, "One would think Miss Lu was intentionally mistreating her best friend’s child!"

"You..."

Yunshen, holding Qin Yinyin, took a step forward.

"Yunshen! Every time Yanyan goes on a business trip, it’s me who takes care of Yinyin."

"No matter how poorly I do it, I am still better than you!"

"Yanyan trusts me; I won’t let you take Yinyin away!"

Hearing this, Yunshen smirked contemptuously at Lu Xiang.

"Just you?"

Gu Jinyan held his forehead, then patted Yunshen’s shoulder, "Old Bo, no offense, but why do you have to act like a bandit when picking up your niece?"

He said, squinting at Lu Xiang with his peach blossom eyes.

"And Miss Lu, when a father comes to pick up his own daughter, what business is it of yours?"

"You looked after her for a while; are you planning to ask Old Bo for some caregiver fee?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiang’s pupils shrunk.

She and Gu Jinyan usually had a good relationship, or at least she thought so, but she had never imagined Gu Jinyan would humiliate her like this!

Her face turned pale, even if Gu Jinyan wanted to help Yunshen, he shouldn’t have spoken like that!

"Daddy."

Qin Yinyin tugged at Yunshen’s shirt; he lifted his eyelids and looked at her.

She pouted unhappily, "You’re bullying Aunt Xiangxiang!"

"Mommy says, boys who bully girls are baddies!"

"I don’t like a baddie daddy!"

Lu Xiang’s eyes reddened.

She hadn’t been that upset, but hearing three-year-old Yinyin defending her made Lu Xiang suddenly think.

Perhaps the nature of a relationship really isn’t about the length of time!

Just like her and Gu Jinyan.

Yunshen’s eyes darkened, Qin Yinyin didn’t notice; her voice was soft and sweet, "Daddy needs to apologize to Aunt Xiangxiang first!"

Yunshen felt a pang in his heart.

Qin Yan’s teachings!

Who knows what she said about her in front of Qin Yinyin!

Meeting Lu Xiang’s gaze, he, this father, seemed inferior to a woman with no blood relation to them!

Yunshen felt increasingly annoyed, but he didn’t want Qin Yinyin to dislike him; he hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Lu Xiang,

"I’m sorry, Miss Lu; my attitude was bad before."

"I hope you don’t take it to heart; I apologize to you."

Being apologized to by Yunshen?

Lu Xiang felt dizzy.

Because of Qin Yan, she had always had a vague understanding of Yunshen in her mind.

A conceited, shameless scoundrel.

She never thought that one day Yunshen would bow to a single word from Yinyin.

Even Gu Jinyan looked at Yunshen in surprise.

With his eyebrows slightly raised, his face carried a bit of Yunshen’s unique indifference, his slender eyes deep and enigmatic; his arm supported Qin Yinyin, standing under the lamp light, where on the shiny floor, a faint, almost invisible shadow of his was cast.

Although he had apologized, it was clearly not heartfelt!
