Chapter 401: Director Qin, are you planning to use it and then throw it away?

Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Director Qin, are you planning to use it and then throw it away?

Qin Yan walked in front, with Bo Yunshen following behind her.

The woman’s foot suddenly slipped, and she instinctively stumbled forward. Bo Yunshen reached out his long arm and pulled Qin Yan into his embrace.

The intense aura of the man instantly enveloped Qin Yan.

She was momentarily stunned, her hands instinctively pressed against Bo Yunshen’s chest, directly meeting his deep, enigmatic gaze.

"Director Qin can’t even walk properly?" Bo Yunshen mocked, "Do you want me to carry you?"

In the night, his lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, yet inexplicably alluring.

Qin Yan straightened her body, "Yunshen, I can walk by myself."

The cobblestone path wasn’t far, and Qin Yan didn’t feel she couldn’t walk it.

She took a step, and her wrist was seized by him.

Bo Yunshen’s hands were dry and warm, his grip strong, and Qin Yan couldn’t shake it off.

With every step she took, she felt the ground beneath her feet softening, as if she couldn’t touch solid ground.

Qin Yan felt a little dazed, as if she was back to eleven years ago, with him holding her hand tightly, providing her with a sense of security.

Upon leaving the cobblestone path, Qin Yan wanted to retrieve her hand, but she couldn’t break free from his grip.

"Yunshen?"

Bo Yunshen glanced over indifferently: "What? Is Director Qin planning to use and discard me?"

He held her hand with considerable force, and Qin Yan blinked, speaking softly: "You were the one who wanted to support me, not what I asked for."

So, internally, Qin Yan felt quite pleased, didn’t she?

A business tycoon of irresistible charm willingly approached to support Qin Yan, wouldn’t any woman feel vanity, let alone Qin Yan?

Bo Yunshen did not let go, and the two walked through the manor’s backyard, their bodies close but a thin membrane keeping their hearts from touching.

"How did you get here?"

Bo Yunshen asked Qin Yan.

Qin Yan lowered her lashes, speaking softly: "Lu Yi brought me over."

Bo Yunshen squeezed her hand harder, pain spreading through Qin Yan’s wrist, noticing his piercing gaze.

Ice-cold and fierce.

Qin Yan didn’t look back, softly saying: "The online news exploded extensively, and Lu Yi, the PR director, must be occupied. He invited Mr. Shen to come to the Resort Manor to play."

"It was arranged in the morning."

Implying, she thought earlier than you, so don’t misunderstand?

Bo Yunshen sneered. Lu Yi was undoubtedly transparent in his intentions, a fact known by all.

Qin Yan refused to come with him, precisely because she knew Lu Yi would be here, deliberately staying back to wait for him, right?

Seeing him give flowers to Manman, Qin Yan must be anxious and hurrying to find the next option?

Anger surged inexplicably through Bo Yunshen’s heart. He lowered his lashes, staring fixedly at Qin Yan’s face:

"Director Qin, this eager to be with my cousin, shouldn’t you consider your lover’s situation?"

"Adding to the scandal, doesn’t it increase Director Lu’s work difficulty?"

Qin Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Yunshen, you got it wrong."

"Every scandal handled by the PR department was caused by you..." Qin Yan said heavily, lifting her head with a faint smile: "Between Lu Yi and me, there’s nothing. If anything, it’s the countless kindnesses he’s shown to Yinyin and me."

"Without him, Yinyin wouldn’t have been with me for so long."

"How you see me doesn’t matter, so there’s no need to throw mud on Lu Yi."

However bad he might be, in Qin Yan’s heart, he was better than Bo Yunshen!

Bo Yunshen saw only this message on Qin Yan’s face, causing his eyelids to twitch, a layer of coldness cast over his eyes.

"Yunshen, please refrain from saying such ambiguous words again."

"Otherwise, I will only think you’re jealous, that you care about me!"

Qin Yan’s words were firm, causing a fleeting panic within Bo Yunshen’s heart.

Cares about Qin Yan?

Impossible, his only care for Qin Yan was whether she would create trouble, wanting to keep a constant watch over her every move.

Bo Yunshen didn’t hesitate, "You’re dreaming too beautifully!"

"Qin Yan, in this life, I’ve only ever loved Manman!"

"Whether it was before, now, or even in the future!"

Pain pierced Qin Yan’s heart, this sentence feeling like a thousand arrows through her heart.

Indeed.

If he had ever loved her, how could he have forgotten her so quickly?

Qin Yan suppressed the bitterness in her heart, maintaining a calm facade—unperturbed, uninterested—"I know, so Yunshen, can you now take me over to find Yinyin?"

She exerted force, forcibly withdrawing her hand from Bo Yunshen’s grasp.

Bo Yunshen took a deep breath, turning and leaving straightaway.

With large strides, Qin Yan, in her high heels, couldn’t keep up with him.

As they approached the entrance, Bo Yunshen’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen, where Lin Man’s number was flashing.

A bad premonition grazed Bo Yunshen’s mind.

He moved his fingers, sliding to answer the call.

Qin Yan had just walked up, asking him, "Why stop..."

On the phone, Lin Man’s heart-wrenching cries came through: "Yunshen... Yinyin, the power just went out. I left the suite to check... sobbing..."

Bo Yunshen’s heart stopped, instinctively looking at Qin Yan.

The woman stood in disbelief, in the endless darkness, her gaze full of disbelief.

"Yinyin is missing. I’m in the monitoring room, retrieving footage... I..."

The wind blew away into the distance, and though still covered with Bo Yunshen’s jacket, Qin Yan felt as if she were plunged into an icehouse.

"Bo Yunshen, you let Lin Man watch my daughter?"

...

Lu Xiang was worrying about Qin Yinyin.

When dining with Feng Chen and Mr. Li, she was noticeably absent-minded.

After all, with Qin Yan away and Bo Yunshen being a man who’d never taken care of a child, she feared Yinyin would suffer grievances at his place.

More importantly, she suspected Bo Yunshen had come together with Lin Man.

Finally, the dinner ended, and Lu Xiang didn’t return to her room but followed Feng Chen, asking:

"Mr. Feng, could you please find out which room Mr. Bo is in? I want to see Yinyin."

Feng Chen squinted his long lashes, his lips quirking as he asked in a low voice: "Is it to see the child, or to offer yourself?"

Lu Xiang silently cursed Feng Chen.

This shameless bastard, offering myself indeed! Even if all the men in the world died except for that arrogant jerk like Bo Yunshen, she still wouldn’t be interested!

A grimace flickered in Lu Xiang’s mind, yet her smile grew softer.

"Mr. Feng, you must be joking. What kind of woman hasn’t Mr. Bo seen? He wouldn’t necessarily fancy me, would he?"

Feng Chen sneered, "Really?"

"I always think, a wife’s best friend is the most fun woman in the world?"

Lu Xiang’s expression tensed.

Damn!

Pervert!

Lu Xiang cursed in her heart, lowering her head to hide the scorn in her eyes, when the next moment, Feng Chen lifted her chin.
