Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Mom says, eggs are nutritious

Bo Yunshen fluttered his eyelashes, his enigmatic gaze sweeping over Aunt Chen as he said, "What’s this? I’m paying you to take care of me, and you won’t even cook me dinner?"

A chill ran down Aunt Chen’s spine under Bo Yunshen’s gaze as she replied, "No, it’s not like that, sir. It’s just that the young miss used up all the ingredients in the villa to cook tonight. If you are willing to wait, I can go buy some groceries right now?"

Aunt Chen’s voice was tinged with unease; after all, Hai Wan Xiang Xie was located in the suburbs. Even going to the nearest supermarket would take over an hour!

"Daddy, Mommy said the food I made is delicious. Why won’t you eat it?"

Bo Yunshen stood tall, and the little one had to tilt her head back so high that she couldn’t see his darkening expression, especially when she mentioned Qin Yan. A flash of irritation flickered through his narrow, deep-set eyes.

He didn’t respond to Qin Yinyin’s question but instead looked at Aunt Chen with an ambiguous gaze.

Bo Yunshen’s voice was chilling, "If you go grocery shopping now, are you expecting me to have dinner or a midnight snack?!"

Aunt Chen: "..."

Bo Yunshen, holding back his frustration, pointed towards the door and commanded, "Get out!"

Knowing Bo Yunshen’s resolute nature, Aunt Chen quickly grabbed her coat and left Hai Wan Xiang Xie.

In the large villa, only Bo Yunshen and Qin Yinyin remained. Yinyin had already climbed onto a stool by herself, and she even served herself some soup.

"Daddy, if you’re not eating, what will you have?"

Bo Yunshen’s brows raised, and he irritably stripped off his suit jacket, flinging it onto the leather sofa of Hai Wan Xiang Xie, "Just take care of yourself!"

After a busy day at the company, Bo Yunshen’s stomach was empty. He strode into the kitchen and rummaged around, only finding a cup of instant noodles.

Bo Yunshen cursed under his breath. The devil must be playing tricks; after all, he was the eldest son of the Bo Family, the president of Bo Group, and yet, because of a bratty kid, he had stooped to eating instant noodles.

A spark of anger flashed in Bo Yunshen’s eyes.

The kitchen had hot water, and after preparing the instant noodles, Bo Yunshen sat opposite Qin Yinyin with his meal.

The food on the table looked too good to be made by a three-year-old. Bo Yunshen’s gaze fell as he ate his noodles, the alluring aroma from the table wafting over and teasing his senses.

Bo Yunshen felt his instant noodles paled in comparison to the feast Qin Yinyin had made, and resentment grew inside him. Regardless of whether he ate Qin Yinyin’s dinner tonight or not, he was already feeling depressed.

Qin Yan, that woman, was so well-hidden and still hasn’t shown her face, allowing her child to wreak havoc in his home. Three years ago, she used the excuse of donating bone marrow to him and now, three years later, had this annoying kid invade his home for what was not a reason at all.

Damn it, he must have been out of his mind to have fallen for Qin Yan’s trick and to have brought this little pest back to Hai Wan Xiang Xie from the police station.

As Bo Yunshen grumbled inwardly, a piece of golden-brown fried egg appeared miraculously in his bowl of instant noodles. Following his chopsticks, his gaze met a pair of innocent and bright black eyes.

Upon catching his gaze, Qin Yinyin squinted her eyes and smiled, the corners crinkling, "Daddy, try the egg that Yinyin made, it’s really good!"

As she spoke, she nodded emphatically as if to substantiate the believability of her words.

Bo Yunshen pinched the egg with his chopsticks and tossed it into the trash bin by his feet.

A flicker of hurt crossed Qin Yinyin’s eyes. She bit her lip and whispered softly, "Daddy, you’re wasting food. My teacher says that’s wrong."

Bo Yunshen scoffed thunderously, fluctuating between emotions. She was eating his food, leaving him with only instant noodles, and now she intended to educate him?

Qin Yan teaches her child this when she has nothing better to do?

Right, Qin Yan probably can only raise a child as presumptuous as herself!

"I have the means," Bo Yunshen declared in the Bo Family.

Qin Yinyin didn’t quite understand, but Bo Yunshen’s tone was heavy with mockery, and at the very least she could pick up on some of his displeasure.

"But Mom said, eggs are nutritious."

Damn!

Was this an insult, suggesting the food he ate was not nutritious?

Bo Yunshen’s face darkened, and he said hypocritically, "Don’t talk to me about what’s nutritious and what’s not. I just love to eat this non-nutritious instant noodles. So what? Following your mom, have you never even had instant noodles?"

Upon hearing Bo Yunshen’s words, Qin Yinyin placed her chopsticks on the delicate small bowl, "Mom doesn’t let me eat it!"

Bo Yunshen’s gaze briefly lingered on the snow-white rice in her bowl, and then he lifted a mouthful of instant noodles to his lips.

Bo Yunshen was exceptionally handsome, and even though a cold frost seemed to cling to his face and his eyes were mixed with gloomy darkness, every move he made exuded nonchalance and grace, making his demeanor stand out.

Especially now, as he ate a bowl of instant noodles, he somehow managed to elevate the status of the meal.

Qin Yinyin swallowed hard, watching Bo Yunshen eat the instant noodles without blinking.

The noodles, laden with enough seasoning packets, gave off a strong aroma. To anyone other than Qin Yinyin who had never eaten such fare, Bo Yunshen found the taste almost unbearably hard to swallow.

Looks good but tastes bad!

"Daddy, can I have a bite, please? Just one bite!" Qin Yinyin tugged on the hem of Bo Yunshen’s half-rolled-up white shirt, her voice soft and sweet, with a simple and straightforward longing in her clear eyes.

"No!" Bo Yunshen pulled the bowl of instant noodles a distance away from Qin Yinyin, his tone serious, "I think you’re dirty!"

Qin Yinyin, not understanding, looked at her pale little hands. Her forehead was wrapped in gauze which had begun to show a pink stain where blood mixed with the liquid from the medication had seeped through, coloring the bandage.

Qin Yinyin herself felt a bit dirty while she was eating the rice earlier.

Qin Yinyin thought Bo Yunshen’s ’dirty’ comment was along the same lines as her own thoughts. She licked her lips and said, "Then, after my wound heals, can Daddy take me to eat it?"

Bo Yunshen paused for a moment, thinking of dropping a few more sarcastic remarks but then he thought that even if he did, Qin Yinyin probably wouldn’t understand them.

Not wanting to waste his breath, he simply turned his head and took a few bites of the noodles.

No matter how he ate them, Bo Yunshen still found the greasiness and nastiness unpalatable. It was only someone unsophisticated like Qin Yinyin who would crave such a thing!

After a couple of bites, the man ignored Qin Yinyin’s longing gaze, carried the bowl of instant noodles to the kitchen, and dumped it into the trash can.

Bo Yunshen had always been picky with his food. Even some dishes made by Michelin-starred chefs might not be to his liking, let alone instant noodles which he found particularly hard to swallow.

But no matter how much Qin Yinyin longed for it, Bo Yunshen would not let her have it.

Qin Yan had already said instant noodles weren’t nutritious. If Qin Yinyin had any problems later, Bo Yunshen certainly wouldn’t let the blame fall on him!
