Chapter 399: Chapter 399: I’m no match for Mr. Bo!

"Aunt Xiangxiang?!"

Lu Xiang gave Qin Yinyin a peck on the cheek: "How did you recognize me?"

"Aunt Xiangxiang smells nice."

Lu Xiang was in an even better mood: "Where’s mom?"

"Mom didn’t come."

Bo Yunshen licked the corner of his lips, meeting Lu Xiang’s meaningful gaze.

"Mr. Feng, I want to stay and accompany my darling, I won’t be going with you to Mr. Li’s."

Feng Chen rejected without a second thought: "Secretary Lu intends to stay and make headlines with Mr. Bo?"

"We at the Feng Group don’t want stories getting out about secretaries keeping company with guests."

Bo Yunshen laughed angrily at being needled by the two: "So the Feng Group prefers stories about female secretaries getting close to the president to advance?"

"Mr. Feng, our Bo Group may not be much, but if you like, we could help spread the word with the entertainment rags."

Feng Chen remained unbothered, but Lu Xiang’s face turned sullen: "I can’t compare with Mr. Bo!"

"Taking a daughter and roses to a mistress!"

"But Mr. Bo, let me warn you, Yinyin doesn’t like Miss Lin." Lu Xiang lowered her tone, her voice chilling: "Even if you choose her to be Yinyin’s stepmom, she’ll never call her mom."

After saying that, Lu Xiang placed Qin Yinyin into Bo Yunshen’s arms and turned to leave.

Qin Yinyin hugged Bo Yunshen’s neck, whispering: "Daddy, why do you always argue with people wherever you go?"

"After arguing with mom, you argue with Aunt Xiangxiang. Be careful, or no one will like you!"

Bo Yunshen snorted.

He didn’t care about Lu Xiang and Qin Yan’s affection.

Otherwise, the first to turn against him would be Old Gu.

"Still want to play on the swing?"

Qin Yinyin shook her head, her mood downcast as she tugged at her little dress: "Daddy, don’t you like mom?"

"Everyone says you and mom are getting a divorce... Is it true?"

Of course not!

Even if there’s going to be a divorce, it’s not now.

Qin Yan’s tricks haven’t run out yet; keeping her under his nose is the safest bet.

Besides, if there’s a divorce, considering the old man’s fondness for Qin Yan, she’d undoubtedly get a share of the stocks.

Those things aren’t Qin Yan’s to have.

"If I say yes, would you choose Qin Yan or me?"

Qin Yinyin’s eyes reddened slightly, and she said: "Mom."

"Hmm?"

Though he’d expected it, Bo Yunshen still felt an indescribable sense of awkwardness when Qin Yinyin actually said it.

Does Qin Yan have it better than him?

He’s got money and power, yet Qin Yinyin has no regard for him?

Bo Yunshen tugged at the corners of his mouth, and yes, once divorced, Qin Yinyin would just be his ex-wife’s daughter, nothing to do with him, following him around wouldn’t make sense.

"Wouldn’t it be good to stay with me? I’ll buy you any dresses, toys you want."

"And no one would bully you!"

Qin Yinyin pouted, saying softly: "Mom wouldn’t randomly find a dad for Yinyin, but every woman around daddy might become Yinyin’s new mom."

"If I stay with mom, when I meet daddy again, I’d still call you daddy, but if I stay with daddy, mom might change."

Qin Yan wouldn’t find Qin Yinyin a new dad?

Qin Yinyin’s naive words nearly made Bo Yunshen laugh out loud.

In comparison, he was far less promiscuous than Qin Yan!

"Then what’s the deal with your Mr. Lu?"

"I wanted to call him that." Qin Yinyin had mentioned it before: "Mom said you’re dad. Once, I went looking for you, got lost, almost couldn’t find mom, but Yinyin wanted a dad..."

"I know Uncle Lu isn’t dad, mom said so too, but I asked Uncle Lu if I could call him Mr. Lu, and he agreed."

Qin Yinyin licked her lips.

She had gotten lost; hearing this, Bo Yunshen looked at Qin Yinyin’s face, seeing the heavy remnants of fear.

She didn’t look like she was lying.

And it didn’t seem like Qin Yan taught her this.

Bo Yunshen lowered his eyelashes, suddenly recalling the time he hid her away and Qin Yan went crazy.

He pressed his lips together, Qin Yan could be a cunning old fox, who knew if she was faking it?

He chuckled softly, not responding.

"Uncle Lu stayed with Yinyin for a long time, so Yinyin didn’t think about daddy every day afterward."

"If daddy really divorces mom... I would definitely choose mom."

"Mom knows what Yinyin likes to eat, and even if she’s busy, she’d make time to be with Yinyin."

Bo Yunshen smiled, ruffling Qin Yinyin’s hair, whispering: "Your mom and I won’t be divorcing anytime soon."

Qin Yinyin paused, through the veil, Bo Yunshen seemed to see her eyes light up.

"Then Aunt Lin Man won’t become Yinyin’s new mom?"

The smile at the corner of Bo Yunshen’s mouth stilled.

This question—did Qin Yan prompt Qin Yinyin to ask it?

She cares a lot about Lin Man, and Bo Yunshen could guess why.

Three years ago, if not for Manman, Qin Yan wouldn’t have had to have a C-section to give birth; he had heard that Qin Yan was on the brink of life and death at the time, nearly bleeding to death.

That’s why she couldn’t tolerate Manman, blamed the ascaris in Qin Yinyin’s eye on Manman, and even wanted Manman to leave the country.

He caused the situation, but it was Manman who faced Qin Yan’s wrath.

Bo Yunshen didn’t answer this question.

Marrying Manman had once been his firm resolve for eight years, though marrying Qin Yan had cooled that down considerably...

Bo Yunshen ruffled Qin Yinyin, and she waited a long time until she was so sleepy, but Bo Yunshen never answered.

She mumbled sleepily: "Daddy, when will mom come..."

"When you wake up, your mom will be here."

Hearing this, Qin Yinyin lay in Bo Yunshen’s arms and fell asleep.

Bo Yunshen took Qin Yinyin back to the room, and after placing her down for a short time, his phone rang.

Gu Jinyan had arrived.

With Qin Yinyin asleep, the men would inevitably smoke and drink while together, and it wouldn’t be convenient to have a child around. With Qin Yan absent, Bo Yunshen grabbed the room card and went to Lin Man’s room.

"You’re here."

Lin Man opened the door, first seeing Bo Yunshen holding his wallet, her pupils shrank, and she whispered:

"Yunshen, it’s so late, is there something going on?"

Lin Man was drenched in steam, and Bo Yunshen’s words halted, saying softly: "Manman, Old Gu is here, could you come to my room later to watch Yinyin for a while?"

Lin Man nodded, took the room card from Bo Yunshen: "Yunshen, it’s so late, why did Mr. Gu come?"

"I need him to investigate something."

Lin Man paused, saying: "Okay, but I was in the middle of a shower, so I might be a little late getting over."

"Yinyin sleeps deeply, so she might not wake up right away. If you could come within half an hour, that’ll be fine." Bo Yunshen raised his wrist, glanced at the time:

"Yinyin might get up to use the bathroom after midnight."
