Chapter 41: Chapter 41 The newspaper says such an aunt is a mistress!

Qin Yinyin stretched out her little hand and lifted the photo frame, holding it in her hands, she looked at it and asked, "Daddy, who is this auntie?"

Bo Yunshen snatched the photo frame with a swift motion, the indifference that had once vanished from his face reappeared on his handsome features, his eyelashes pressed down, the gloom on his face growing thicker and heavier.

"It’s none of your business, you’re just a kid, stop being nosy!"

Qin Yinyin wasn’t upset, her little hands clasped together, she watched as Bo Yunshen placed the photo frame back on the nightstand, a hint of disappointment welling up in her heart.

For some reason, she just didn’t like the auntie in the photo.

"Daddy, you look really happy. What is your relationship with this auntie?" Qin Yinyin asked again.

Her tone was soft and sweet, with a sugary feel to it, but her voice was much louder than before, unexpectedly carrying an accusatory tone.

Bo Yunshen had stood at the top of the pyramid for many years, whether in HK or when he returned to Bo Group, and for the first time in all those years, he had been threatened, by Qin Yan, and now, Qin Yan’s daughter dared to question him? She thought she had the right to question him?

The more Bo Yunshen thought about it, the angrier he became, his voice laced with shards of ice: "Her name is Lin Man, she’s my girlfriend!"

"Oh, is she like Aunt Tang Tian I saw in the newspapers?" Qin Yinyin’s childish words were laced with her unique naive carefreeness: "I know, the newspapers say that such aunties are ’mistresses.’"

Mistress!

If it really came down to it, it was Qin Yan who was the third party interfering with him and Manman!

Qin Yinyin had no right to make a fuss!

And since when did Tang Tian rank high enough to be compared with Manman?

A fierce light flashed in Bo Yunshen’s eyes, and his tone abruptly hardened: "Manman is the one I’m going to marry! She is not a mistress, your mother is!"

Qin Yinyin’s eyes widened in confusion and hurt: "Daddy, didn’t you marry Mommy? Aren’t we and Mommy a family?"

Marrying Qin Yan had been out of sheer desperation, she should know that the bone marrow donation couldn’t threaten him and his mother for their entire lives, which was why she had sent Qin Yinyin to play the family card with him!

But how could the world be so kind as to grant every wish of Qin Yan?

"Mommy said you love Yinyin, and you love Mommy too, isn’t that true?"

Thinking about this possibility, a shallow layer of mist veiled Qin Yinyin’s eyes, her gaze timid as she looked at Bo Yunshen, her voice choked with sobs.

Bo Yunshen didn’t hesitate to nod his head, and seeing this gesture, tears streamed down Qin Yinyin’s face.

Qin Yinyin’s face was fair and clean, her eyes quickly turning red with crying, her long eyelashes wet with tears, making the sight especially heart-wrenching.

"Why? Then is it true what people say, that I’m a bastard child? Do you only want Lin Man and your child, not me?"

Qin Yinyin’s crying made Bo Yunshen’s chest feel tight; he wanted to say yes!

He also wanted to tell Qin Yinyin that she wasn’t his child at all, that she was the bastard child born from Qin Yan’s affair with some random man!

They were not a family at all!

But when his words reached Qin Yinyin’s tearful expression, they stopped dead in his throat, and he couldn’t utter a single word.

Seeing that Bo Yunshen didn’t comfort her, Qin Yinyin felt even more heartbroken, she reached up to rub her eyes, her voice a bit hoarse as she looked in Bo Yunshen’s direction: "Daddy, is that why you’ve always refused to see me? Is that right?"

"I’m not the child you like?"

Bo Yunshen’s heart suddenly felt a pang.

Perhaps Gu Jinyan was right about one thing, what Qin Yan had done should be attributed to her, Qin Yinyin... was still a child.

"There is no not liking you."

As soon as Bo Yunshen spoke up, Qin Yinyin looked at him with eyes that had been watered by tears, her feeling of being wronged and her sadness were still there, but at least the tears had stopped.

"But just now, because of Aunt Lin Man, you scolded me..."

Qin Yinyin’s voice was still choked with sobs, and a dark shade crossed the man’s black pupils: "Aunt Lin Man, Aunt Lin Man! Can you call her Aunt Lin Man? Do you hear me?"

The sense of wronging in Qin Yinyin’s eyes instantly flooded back, Bo Yunshen raised his hands a bit, then reached out and gently pulled the little girl’s shoulders, saying, "Aunt Lin Man is a very good person, she’s not the other woman, do you understand?"

There was a hint of impatience in the depths of Bo Yunshen’s eyes, but his deep gaze stayed locked on her as she blinked several times before finally nodding her head and obediently responding.

Only then did the man release her shoulders. Once freed, Qin Yinyin stretched her arm towards the nightstand and once again embraced the photo frame, her gaze falling on the image where Lin Man leaned against Bo Yunshen like a frail bird, her face radiant with a joyful smile, making a perfect match with the tall and handsome Bo Yunshen.

A shadow crossed Qin Yinyin’s eyes: "Dad, there’s no photo of you with mom, nor with me."

Bo Yunshen’s brows furrowed, his lips moved slightly and his normally deep and enigmatic face was now tinged with an air of inscrutability.

She suddenly looked up at Bo Yunshen and said, "Dad, don’t be upset, I won’t talk about it anymore."

A furrow carved itself between Bo Yunshen’s brows as Qin Yinyin tilted her head, her eyes slightly reddened, but a smile bloomed on her face: "Dad, Aunt Lin Man is so beautiful, if there’s a chance, could you introduce me to her?"

Her words caught Bo Yunshen off guard, his gaze softening upon seeing the hopeful light in Qin Yinyin’s eyes.

Turns out, Qin Yinyin indeed had better taste than Qin Yan.

Bo Yunshen took the photo frame from Qin Yinyin’s hands, his gaze settling on the smiling Lin Man.

The person he fancied, of course, was exceptional! But having Qin Yan’s daughter acknowledge it brought a sense of satisfaction to his heart.

Three years ago, when Qin Yan drove Manman away, she probably never imagined that one day her daughter would praise Manman’s beauty, did she?

Bo Yunshen set down the photo frame, glanced at Qin Yinyin, and suddenly realized that this little troublemaker wasn’t so detestable after all.

Quite cute, actually!

"Dad? Is that okay?"

Qin Yinyin didn’t get an answer from Bo Yunshen, so she asked again.

Bo Yunshen adjusted the collar of his shirt, his body no longer tense, and said in a casual and relaxed tone, "Yes! If there’s a chance, I’ll take you to meet Aunt Lin Man."

"Thank you, Dad." Qin Yinyin smiled again, leaned forward a bit closer to Bo Yunshen, and pointing towards his mobile phone, she asked in a soft voice, "Dad, can we take a photo together? I don’t have any pictures with you!"

Bo Yunshen followed Qin Yinyin’s pointing gaze, and right at that moment, his phone began to ring.

Dancing up and down on the slender screen was Xu Lin’s name, and Bo Yunshen’s eyes suddenly deepened.

Was Xu Lin calling at this time because he had found Qin Yan?
