Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Hit the Wrong Target

Here is the requested English translation:

Bo Yunshen was leaning against the side of the hospital bed, thinking, and then fell asleep.

Qin Yan finished washing up and returned to the room. Bo Yunshen had already closed his eyes, but it wasn’t clear if he was truly asleep.

He was positioned near the edge of the bed, half of his body hanging precariously outside, making it look like he could fall off at any moment.

Qin Yan furrowed her brows slightly but said nothing. She took off her shoes and lay down beside Qin Yinyin on the inner side of the bed.

The indoor temperature was low. Qin Yan unfolded the blanket and carefully tucked it around Bo Yunshen and Qin Yinyin before falling asleep herself.

It was a dreamless night.

When Qin Yan woke up, daylight had already seeped in through the windows.

Qin Yinyin and Bo Yunshen were still asleep. She sat up, propping her body against the bed while glancing sideways. Bo Yunshen had pulled Qin Yinyin’s tiny body close, sleeping soundly with her in his embrace.

Qin Yinyin never slept still; she must have snuggled over to him on her own during the night.

Worried that Qin Yinyin might accidentally press against Bo Yunshen’s injuries, Qin Yan gently pulled her back, got out of bed, tidied up the room, and went to buy breakfast.

By the time she returned to Xing Yue Bay, it was already ten o’clock.

Bo Yunshen had just sat down on the sofa when his phone rang. Qin Yinyin, sitting closest, reached out naturally to pick up his phone and answer the call.

It was Lin Man.

"Yinyin? I’m outside your dad’s hospital room, sweetheart. Why aren’t you and your dad here?"

Qin Yinyin blinked once, her eyelashes fluttering. She glanced at Bo Yunshen, whose gaze shifted to her. His dark eyes carried a heavy shadow but did nothing to diminish their captivating charm.

"Who is it?"

Qin Yinyin replied with an unchanged expression, "Wrong number."

Without hesitation, she ended the call!

On the other end of the line, Lin Man clutched her phone, her face steady, though veins had risen conspicuously on the back of her hand.

Wrong number?

She had clearly heard Bo Yunshen’s voice—how could it possibly be the wrong number?!

Without a moment’s pause, Lin Man dialed again.

Bo Yunshen, aware that Lin Man was persistent, suspiciously took the phone from Qin Yinyin’s hand.

Just as he was about to glance at the caller ID, Lin Man’s number popped up.

Bo Yunshen took the call. Lin Man’s voice sounded faint and reserved: "Hello, Yunshen, is that you?"

Bo Yunshen licked the corner of his lips and gave Qin Yinyin a meaningful look: "Manman, why the sudden question?"

Qin Yinyin, who had been engrossed in her building blocks, instinctively raised her head when she heard his words, nervously staring at the phone in his hand.

"No reason, Yunshen. I’m standing outside your hospital room, but you’re not here..."

"I’ve been discharged."

A moment of silence lingered over the connection.

Bo Yunshen poured himself a glass of water and spoke in a low tone, "Manman, my discharge was sudden. I forgot to notify you—it must have been a wasted trip for you!"

"That’s fine."

Lin Man was always considerate. She didn’t press matters further and softly asked, "Yunshen, your injuries haven’t healed yet; why leave the hospital so abruptly?"

"How about having lunch together?"

Bo Yunshen’s expression lightened slightly, his voice soft: "I’m at Xing Yue Bay. Come here for lunch—tell me what you’d like to eat and I’ll have Qin Yan add it to the menu."

"No thanks. Since you’re with Yanyan, I won’t intrude."

"Yunshen, I wish you a speedy recovery."

"Thank you."

After finishing his words, Bo Yunshen hung up the phone and placed it on the table. His piercing gaze locked onto Qin Yinyin.

She was only three years old—a tiny figure curled up on the sofa with nowhere to place her uneasy gaze.

"Dad?"

Bo Yunshen set the phone down on the coffee table and spoke in a chilling tone: "Qin Yinyin, didn’t your mother ever teach you that children shouldn’t lie?"

Initially, Qin Yinyin had claimed it was a wrong number!

Later, Lin Man’s question—was it Yunshen?—made everything blatantly clear.

The first time they met, Qin Yinyin had torn up Manman’s photo. The last time, in the hospital room, she had kicked Manman. Now, during Manman’s phone call, she had the audacity to say Manman had dialed wrong!

A three-year-old child—with such pent-up hostility? And all aimed at just one person?!

As the thoughts settled in, Bo Yunshen’s face grew darker, his looming presence in the living room casting shadows over Qin Yinyin, causing her eyes to fill with tears.

"Dad, are you angry?"

"You say children shouldn’t lie. Does that mean adults can?"

Bo Yunshen froze.

Oh, how clever—this little brat was questioning him?!

Bo Yunshen’s eyes twitched as Qin Yinyin, with tear-filled eyes, spoke in her trembling, aggrieved voice: "Last time at Grandma’s mountain, Dad, you said you’d play hide-and-seek with me and Mom!"

"You lied to me!"

"Lin Man said she and Mom are friends, but she only wants to be Dad’s mistress!"

"You adults are the ones who tell the most lies!"

Tears suddenly spilled down Qin Yinyin’s cheeks. "I just want to protect Mom and our home. I didn’t do anything wrong!"

Defensive nonsense!

Bo Yunshen swung his hand, sending the tea cup from the coffee table crashing to the ground.

"Bang!"

"You admit you’re wrong or not!"

He stepped forward, disregarding the pain in his injured hand, and grabbed Qin Yinyin’s tiny arm with force.

As an adult, his strength was such that Qin Yinyin staggered and fell into a squat on the floor.

She was stubborn yet also trembling with fear.

Her large, misty eyes spilled tears one by one as she sobbed uncontrollably, unable to string her words together:

"I didn’t do anything wrong!"

"Mom—Mom!"

Qin Yan, who had been tidying up in the bedroom, heard Qin Yinyin’s cries. When she rushed out, she found Bo Yunshen wearing a grim expression, gripping Qin Yinyin as if ready to explode.

Qin Yan’s breath caught momentarily. She ran quickly to pry his hand off.

Qin Yinyin, already a tearful mess, clung tightly to Qin Yan’s waist the moment she approached, burying herself in Qin Yan’s arms while trembling.

"What’s going on? Yunshen, why are you suddenly so furious with Yinyin?"

Bo Yunshen laughed bitterly and said, "Maybe you should ask your daughter what brilliant stunt she just pulled?!"

"She thought she was clever—hung up on my call and played it off as a wrong number! Did she think people wouldn’t call back?"

"Ridiculous!"

Qin Yan understood roughly what had happened.

It was clear—even without guessing—that the person stirring Bo Yunshen’s temper most likely had to be Lin Man.

Qin Yan gently tugged at Qin Yinyin.

"Apologize to your dad. What you did was wrong, Yinyin!"

"Didn’t Mom already talk to you about this before? Children shouldn’t lie! Didn’t you remember what Mom said?"

Qin Yinyin cried even more desperately.

"I... won’t!"

Qin Yan’s demeanor shifted subtly, her tone steady and casual as she repeated, "Let me ask you again. Will you apologize or not?!"

"No!"

Qin Yinyin wept as she spoke. Suddenly, Qin Yan picked her up, opened Xing Yue Bay’s door, and placed her outside.
