Chapter 300: What If I Intend to Do That?

Chapter 300: Chapter 300: What If I Intend to Do That?

Bo Yunshen’s eyes darkened, and beneath Qin Yan’s pleasing face lay a rotten heart.

He twisted his lips coldly, "What if I did have that intention?"

It took Qin Yan two seconds to realize he was responding to her question about Lin Man.

For the first time in many years, Qin Yan’s brain paused momentarily.

On this critical turning point, did Bo Yunshen still want to have a candlelit dinner with Lin Man?

Qin Yan took a deep breath, blinked, bent down, and took Qin Yinyin’s small hand, whispering, "Yinyin, mommy will take you to eat something else."

Bo Yunshen’s pupils constricted—Qin Yan had never been so compliant before!

Wasn’t she just relying on her knowledge that he wouldn’t let any more accidents happen at Bo Group?

Had she calculated that he would ask her to stay?

Suddenly, Bo Yunshen clenched his hand tighter, his lips quivered, and Lin Man suddenly grabbed Qin Yan’s wrist:

"Yanyan, what are you doing? Yunshen was just joking, why take it seriously?"

Qin Yan lifted her eyelashes, her gaze directly meeting Lin Man’s.

"Yanyan, you know about the rumors online, if you leave now, the reporters will surely misunderstand again."

"Yanyan, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, I just wanted to chat. If you don’t like me, I’ll leave..."

As Lin Man spoke, she anxiously leaned toward the door of the private room, her footing shifted, and her whole body tilted onto the dining table.

With a "bang," glasses collided, creating a loud noise. The meal that Bo Yunshen had ordered for Qin Yinyin, including a strawberry milkshake and steak, smashed all over Lin Man, the colorful splashes staining her white dress, looking particularly tragic.

The air tensed for a second; Bo Yunshen fiercely threw the cigarette butt on the floor, subconsciously moved forward, and lifted Lin Man from the ground:

"Are you hurt?"

Lin Man’s eyes reddened, tears welling up but not falling, a picture of sorrow. She shook her head and said in a low voice, "No... I’m alright."

After confirming that Lin Man was a bit disheveled but not injured, Bo Yunshen slowly raised his head, his dark gaze very dead as he stared at Qin Yan.

"Apologize!"

Qin Yan’s body stiffened; Lin Man’s fall had nothing to do with her. Hadn’t she fallen off a boat on her own eight years ago? Why couldn’t she repeat the act now?

Qin Yan pressed her lips together tightly, not saying a word.

Bo Yunshen’s tone hardened, "I told you to apologize, are you mute?"

Lin Man quickly grabbed Bo Yunshen’s arm, "Yunshen, it was my own carelessness, it has nothing to do with Yanyan. The one to apologize should be me for disturbing your meal!"

"Yanyan, I’m sorry..."

The atmosphere grew heavier, the mess in the room making the already small space feel even more cramped.

Qin Yinyin held Qin Yan’s arm, her bright eyes glancing between Bo Yunshen and Lin Man.

She still harbored some fear of Bo Yunshen. Seeing his dark expression, Qin Yinyin didn’t dare speak rashly, but she frowned when Bo Yunshen demanded an apology from Qin Yan without explanation.

Especially after Lin Man apologized, Bo Yunshen’s face grew even darker.

Qin Yinyin tugged at Lin Man’s hand and hid behind her, looking at Bo Yunshen asking, "Daddy, why do you want mommy to apologize?"

"The teacher says you only apologize when you’ve done something wrong!"

"Aunt Lin Man already said she fell by herself; why are you making my mommy apologize?"

Her tone was soft and sticky, hands on her hips, trying to look fierce, but the tiny figure had little impact.

Qin Yan pulled Qin Yinyin’s hand.

This common sense that even children understand, really didn’t need to be dragged out to trouble Mr. Bo.

Qin Yan hooked the corner of her mouth and whispered, "I have no need to apologize! Miss Lin falling has nothing to do with me!"

"Rather, it was Mr. Bo who spoke and asked me to leave; only then did Miss Lin anxiously start taking responsibility upon herself!"

"The one who caused Miss Lin to fall, Mr. Bo, bears the brunt; you should be the one apologizing!"

Bo Yunshen’s face darkened.

Qin Yan was shirking responsibility!

Still, she was pushing the responsibility onto him!

Three years ago, Qin Yan drove Manman away; since that moment, she had owed Manman an apology!

Bo Yunshen stepped closer, seized Qin Yan’s wrist with his hand, squeezed hard, and forcefully dragged her in front of Lin Man.

He gripped Qin Yan’s arm tightly, his coarse fingertips pressing through the thin fabric onto the scars on her arm.

Qin Yan sucked in a breath of cold air in pain.

"Director Qin needs to be taught how to apologize?"

Regarding matters related to Lin Man, Bo Yunshen always made a big deal out of small issues!

Qin Yan blinked her eyes, feeling especially disgusted by Lin Man’s lowly tactics.

She had always played the part of being generously kind, with just a few casual words able to provoke Bo Yunshen’s rage!

But she could bow her head to anyone, except Lin Man!

Qin Yan clenched her lips tightly, her gaze crashing into the man’s dark eyes, stubborn without reason.

"Mr. Bo, you told me to leave; so I obeyed, and that became a mistake?!"

"Miss Lin doesn’t blame me, yet you insist on an apology; how would I know, Mr. Bo, when you moved to live by the seashore?"

Bo Yunshen’s gaze deepened.

Hearing this, Lin Man also grabbed Bo Yunshen’s clothes, "Yunshen, let go of Yanyan quickly!"

Bo Yunshen consequently released Qin Yan’s arm, extended his hand, pulled out a piece of paper from the table, wiped his fingers clean, and tossed it into the only trash can in the booth.

Qin Yan’s breathing stalled.

He turned around, walked to the edge of the table, and pressed the service bell, intending to have someone clean up the booth.

As she walked away, Lin Man, with her back to Bo Yunshen, hung up a bright smile, tilted her head looking at Qin Yan, and lowered her voice to a whisper audible only to the two of them,

"Yanyan, I really like Yinyin."

Qin Yan’s breath hitched, she subconsciously looked over in Lin Man’s direction, the woman’s clear eyes swiftly flashing through a fleeting gleam, her voice lowering even further:

"Yinyin is such a good girl; if you and Yunshen divorce, I will definitely take good care of her..."

Acting before thinking, Qin Yan slapped Lin Man across the face.

"Slap!"

The force of Qin Yan’s slap was strong; wearing high heels, Lin Man, like a butterfly with broken wings, staggered and took a while to regain her balance.

Once the commotion broke out, Bo Yunshen turned his head back, subconsciously reached out to support Lin Man, his dark eyes unblinkingly staring at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan pinched her slightly numb fingertips, her mind blank!

She bit her lips tightly, her heartbeat thudded, slowly beating.

Bo Yunshen stared at her intently, his eyes seemingly harboring a massive black vortex, surging tumultuously, almost instantly ready to engulf her.
