Chapter 343: Chapter 343: The More Bo Yunshen Thought, the Darker His Expression Became

Yanyan nodded.

"The diagnosis yesterday— the doctor said you have a mild concussion. No matter what, you shouldn’t be engaging in such vigorous activity."

"If Yunshen wants to eat anything, just order takeout."

Yanyan nodded again.

Bo Yunshen’s intention was clear: he wasn’t really craving wontons. His main purpose was to send her off so he could call Lin Man.

"Let’s go, I’ll check on Yunshen!"

"And I’ll drop you off on the way."

...

At the hospital.

After hanging up the phone, it had started raining outside.

The rain was fierce and urgent. Bo Yunshen waited for a while, but Yanyan still hadn’t returned.

He scoffed— when she was bickering with his mom, didn’t she seem so capable? It’s just rain; it’s not like it could kill Yanyan.

Still out at this hour— who knows if Yanyan had stumbled upon another romantic encounter?

Bo Yunshen clutched the thin blanket, leaned against the hospital bed, looking irritated.

Less than two minutes later, he suddenly sat up, searching for a spare umbrella in the room. Then, he strode out of the hospital room.

He was determined to find Yanyan and ask— was buying a box of wontons so challenging she might be dying out there?

He had barely taken a step when the door suddenly swung open from the outside. Bo Yunshen’s eyelids twitched violently before he tossed the umbrella in his hand straight into the trash can.

Yanyan walked in, her gaze landing on the trash can that tilted under the weight and toppled over, the umbrella rolling onto the floor and stopping near Lu Yi’s feet.

"..."

Lu Yi bent down, picked up the umbrella, and curled his lips slightly at Bo Yunshen: "Yunshen, heading out?"

Bo Yunshen turned and sat gloomily back on the bed.

What a joke— he’d actually worried whether Yanyan might meet her end out there.

The real concern should be when Yanyan might betray him!

The darker his thoughts, the grimmer his expression grew.

"Where’s the wonton soup?"

Yanyan handed over the takeout box she’d been carrying. The packaging was soaked from the rain, and drops of water hung from the edges.

Bo Yunshen’s eyelids twitched even harder as his brow furrowed tighter, his gaze icy: "This is the food you bought for me?"

Yanyan smiled. "Yunshen, do you really want supper?"

Bo Yunshen felt a pang of guilt.

"You specifically asked for the restaurant across the street, but they only serve spicy wontons! With your injuries, you can’t eat spicy food."

Bo Yunshen’s eyes flickered for a moment.

That damned woman Yanyan— could she know something?

He let his gaze sweep over Yanyan, her rain-dampened shoulders catching his eye, and licked his lips briefly.

A pang of guilt swelled within him toward Yanyan.

But almost as soon as it appeared, he extinguished the feeling in his heart.

Yanyan was so capable, wasn’t she? Step out into a rainstorm and she could meet her guardian angel— surely handling his mother would be no trouble for her!

Bo Yunshen gripped the disposable chopsticks tightly and shot Yanyan a glare.

Three years ago, she played dirty and stole the marriage that rightfully belonged to Lin Man. Now she was living the consequences on Lin Man’s behalf— that’s only fair!

Bo Yunshen threw the chopsticks onto the table and glanced indifferently at Lu Yi before asking, "Cousin, how come you’re free to drop by?"

"Came to check on you. Aunt said you had an allergic reaction?"

"Yunshen, Yanyan seems quite familiar with your health condition. You should trust her more."

Bo Yunshen let out a cold sneer. "You know that too?"

"Director Qin told you?"

"What else did she share? Did she talk about any bedroom escapades?"

Lu Yi glanced sideways at Yanyan without answering.

Yanyan lowered her gaze slightly, picked up a file, and started flipping through it. After a moment, Lu Yi spoke again: "Did you review Qin Group’s documents?"

Yanyan froze and turned to look at Lu Yi. "Did you have Xiao Shen send them over?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

Lu Yi lowered his gaze to fasten the buttons on his sleeve, his refined demeanor appearing calm and unhurried: "Even if you hadn’t seen them today, someone from Qin Group would eventually approach you."

"I just wanted you to be mentally prepared in advance."

It wasn’t wrong.

Her father was a man driven by self-interest. Now that he knew she held some power within Bo Group, he would stop at nothing to exploit that connection for collaboration with Bo Group!

Thinking about it, Yanyan nodded slightly.

Bo Yunshen took in the rapport between the two, his deep-set eyes swirling with turbulent emotion.

Look at that— right in front of him, the company’s CEO, Yanyan was not only flirting with another man but openly discussing backdoor deals.

He shifted his gaze toward Lu Yi, who had shed his suit jacket after entering. The drenched fabric hung casually over a chair, water pooling beneath it.

On the contrary, Yanyan, aside from her damp shoulders, showed no signs of disarray.

It was clear— Lu Yi had taken good care of her!

Claiming to visit him? How much face did he really have?

"Director Lu, do you always use work as a pretense to handle personal matters?"

Lu Yi smiled. "Mr. Bo, if Yanyan didn’t skip work because of you, she would’ve already seen these documents!"

"Oh?"

"Mr. Bo, you’re the one who acted recklessly, demanding a paternity test!"

Bo Yunshen’s eyes darkened as he stared fixedly at Lu Yi.

This wonderful cousin of his had clearly decided he’d concealed the fact that he’d gone to Bai Le Men to save Yanyan!

With a smirk tugging at his lips, his voice turned cold: "My wife isn’t skipping work because of me. What— should she be skipping work because of you instead?"

"Cousin, don’t go around keeping an eye on other people’s wives without reason!"

"You’ll incur some bad karma for it!"

Yanyan lifted her gaze slightly to glance at Bo Yunshen, too indifferent to correct him.

No matter how many times she clarified her relationship with Lu Yi, Bo Yunshen refused to listen!

She didn’t bother wasting her breath anymore.

Lu Yi also chuckled softly.

After sitting for a while, Yanyan pulled a tube of ointment from her jacket pocket. "Yunshen, it’s time to apply your meds."

Nearly every move Yanyan made caught his attention. When his gaze fell on the ointment in her hand, his pupils contracted.

The tube hadn’t been opened yet— it was obviously something Yanyan had just bought tonight!

This specific ointment was sold only sparsely throughout Tong City due to its steep price, beyond the reach of most households.

"You came back so late— you went to buy this ointment?"

Yanyan nodded.

She had left the pharmacy just as the drizzle began to fall.

Then, the storm came.

Bo Yunshen licked his lips awkwardly. "What about the previous tube?"

Yanyan cast him a meaningful glance, her expression calm and understated.

The guilt surged back to Bo Yunshen as doubt consumed him.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that Yanyan might know something.

Yanyan handed the ointment to Lu Yi and said quietly, "Lu Yi, I’ll step out for a bit. Can you help Yunshen apply it?"

"His allergy to medications is severe, so do be cautious!"
