Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Sorry, I Overslept

"Alright."

Bo Yunshen closed his eyes briefly, silently reciting a few phrases in his heart. For the sake of the Bo Group, his thin lips pursed slightly. He lowered his head to look at Qin Yinyin and softly asked:

"Sweetie, what flavor of ice cream do you want?"

"Vanilla!"

The trip to the aquarium that Bo Yunshen and Qin Yan took wasn’t kept a secret, and many journalists who wanted first-hand coverage were present. The aquarium, which should have been less crowded on a weekday, was now packed to the brim.

The movements of the family of three caused quite a stir online.

Many marveled at how Qin Yan married such a great man like Bo Yunshen.

Though there were voices online questioning the possibility of them staging the outing, given the current trajectory, it seemed like Qin Yan could resolve this scandal within two or three days.

In a way, this incident turned out to be a win-win for Bo Yunshen. Not only did he preserve his reputation, but even the Bo Group’s profits saw an increase of several percentage points.

The buzz online boosted sales of Bo Group’s newly launched property. That afternoon, Bo Yunshen received word that there was an 80% chance the plot on Mo Deng Street would be awarded to the Bo Group.

While processing the mixed feelings about this news, he received a call from Xu Lin: "Mr. Bo, the new property sold out completely upon launch. I’ve picked Bai Le Men as the venue for celebrating another full success for the Bo Group!"

"Please ensure both you and Director Qin attend!"

Bo Yunshen’s brows lowered slightly, his peripheral vision falling on Qin Yan. Her lotus-pink dress shimmered even more beautifully under the soft, colored lighting.

The corner of his lips moved as he responded, "Sure!"

After hanging up, Bo Yunshen glanced at the time; it was nearing noon, time for lunch.

Summer’s heat was relentless. Even though the aquarium maintained a comfortable temperature, the child still grew tired. Qin Yinyin, after her initial excitement, clung to Qin Yan in exhaustion and refused to come out of her arms.

The family of three left the aquarium and entered a Cantonese restaurant. After flaunting his loving relationship with Qin Yan for so long, Bo Yunshen’s expression had stiffened somewhat. As soon as they arrived, he directly requested a private room.

As they entered, Bo Yunshen’s face darkened.

He held a cigarette in his hand, his expression cold, his gaze intensely focused on Qin Yan.

She was busy helping Qin Yinyin take off her sun-protective clothing. Noticing his stare, she turned her head to look at him and softly asked:

"What’s wrong?"

Bo Yunshen’s brow furrowed slightly as his finger absentmindedly rubbed the cigarette, his gaze holding a certain indiscernible meaning.

"The new property launch was a success. Strictly speaking, the credit still belongs to the marketing department. Xu Lin is hosting a celebration dinner at Bai Le Men tonight."

Qin Yan understood immediately.

The property had launched yesterday, but after the paternity test issue arose, Qin Yan had directly instructed the marketing department to delay the launch ceremony until the afternoon.

The timely approach to public relations took her by surprise; she hadn’t expected things to resolve so smoothly.

"Alright then. We’ll head to the mansion later and let Yinyin stay overnight with Dad and Mom. We’ll go to the celebration together."

Bo Yunshen nodded.

Bai Le Men is one of Tong City’s top-tier entertainment venues. Qin Yinyin was only three years old; taking her to such a place even once was more than enough.

The restaurant they dined at was not far from the Bo Mansion. After leaving the restaurant, Bo Yunshen drove directly to the mansion.

Bo Yuanshan and Mrs. Bo had a habit of taking afternoon naps. When they arrived, the mansion was tranquil, with not a sound to be heard.

The celebration dinner wasn’t until the evening, so Bo Yunshen and Qin Yan split up and each went to rest in separate rooms for a while.

Qin Yan had a slight fever and fell into a deep sleep. It was eventually Bo Yunshen who woke her. When she had just woken up, her expression was a bit dazed, and her cheeks carried a tint of light pink. Her gaze held traces of dreamy confusion, an innate allure.

Bo Yunshen acted as though he hadn’t noticed. He lowered his head to glance at the watch on his wrist and spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "Director Qin, if you don’t want to attend the celebration, you could’ve said something!"

"Must I invite you three times over to leave the room? Do I need to bring out an eight-carriage sedan for you next time?"

Qin Yan’s throat felt parched. She sipped from her bedside water, adjusted her clothes, tidied her hair briefly, and left the room.

"Sorry, I overslept."

Her attitude of admitting fault was decent. Bo Yunshen paused, and the stream of sarcastic remarks he’d prepared was stifled in his throat. Neither fully ascending nor descending, it left his handsome face sour.

Consistent in her usual pretense, Qin Yan could well turn around once downstairs and lodge a complaint with the old man against him!

When they descended, Bo Yuanshan was playing with Qin Yinyin, and Qin Yan’s brows flushed with warmth.

For three years, many people doubted, and even documents riddled with what could be considered "irrefutable evidence" had been presented to Bo Yuanshan. Yet he seemingly never questioned the child’s origins or Yinyin’s paternity.

These past three years, Qin Yan was incredibly grateful to Bo Yuanshan.

"Grandpa, it’s your turn!"

The grandfather and granddaughter pair were playing aviation chess. As Qin Yan approached and glanced at the board, it was clear Yinyin was too young and her moves lacked strategy, leaving gaps everywhere.

Bo Yuanshan smiled at Qin Yan, "Yanyan, Yinyin is very smart."

Qin Yan took another look at the board; from start to finish, Bo Yuanshan had been guiding Yinyin. Their chess game was a chaotic mess.

Her lips twitched slightly. Behind her came Bo Yunshen’s voice: "Smart? Dad, are you sure you’re not being sarcastic?"

The smiles on both Qin Yan’s and Bo Yuanshan’s faces froze. The latter’s smile vanished in a flash:

"I’m talking to Yanyan—what’s it to you? Get lost!"

Bo Yunshen let out a cold snort.

He had already told the old man countless times that Qin Yinyin wasn’t his child. But every time, the old man didn’t take his words seriously.

He was convinced that Yinyin was a child of the Bo Family, showering her with unwavering care.

Even between the brothers as children, the old man had never shown them such treatment!

Bo Yunshen’s gaze lingered briefly on Yinyin’s face. His child?

She wasn’t even slightly clever—dumb to the extreme!

Her intelligence didn’t inherit even a trace of Qin Yan’s sharpness, clearly resembling her father!

As for himself, he had been handling the old man’s business affairs since his teens, possessed an exceptional commercial talent, demonstrated remarkable composure and self-control, and his IQ was truly on an elite level.

The thought of having future children as foolish as her? It would be enough to infuriate him!

Bo Yunshen withdrew his scrutinizing gaze on the child, his eyes carrying a hint of disdain. Then, he gave Qin Yan a sidelong glance and spoke coldly, "Let’s go!"

Bo Yuanshan, hearing this, eyed him suspiciously and asked Qin Yan, "Just got back, and you’re leaving again? Where to?"

Adjusting her collar, Qin Yan answered softly, "The new property launch had strong sales. The Bo Group is hosting a celebration dinner, and Yunshen and I are attending together."

She added, patting Yinyin’s head, "Dad, Yinyin is in your and Mom’s care tonight."

"We’ll come back later and stay at the mansion overnight!"
