Chapter 46 Mr. Bo, what were you just trying to do?

Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Mr. Bo, what were you just trying to do?

Time suddenly froze for a moment, and as Qin Yan locked eyes with Bo Yunshen, having just wrestled herself from a dream, she softly and blankly called out, "Yunshen..."

This call abruptly snapped Bo Yunshen back to reality. A flash of disgust swiftly passed through his sharp eyes as he suddenly sat up straight.

Qin Yan, intently staring at Bo Yunshen, naturally caught the undisguised disgust in his eyes. She pursed her lips and suddenly snapped back to full presence of mind.

Glancing at the IV needle in the back of her hand, Qin Yan softly asked, "Where is this? Did you bring me here from the Night Club?"

Bo Yunshen snorted derisively and forcefully pushed his chair back, retreating a great distance. The chair scraped loudly against the floor as if he was afraid of getting contaminated by something unclean.

"How did you know I was at the Night Club?"

Qin Yan asked again, and the man’s eyebrows tinged with thin layers of impatience. This woman Qin Yan, why did she talk so much?

Bo Yunshen couldn’t be bothered with Qin Yan. Half-squinting his eyes, his handsome face took on a lazy stoicness, strikingly identical to the expression of the boy from eleven years ago.

Something stirred in Qin Yan’s heart, and she suddenly remembered the scene when she had woken up. She whispered again, "Mr. Bo, what were you just going to do?"

As soon as these words fell, Bo Yunshen twisted his brows guiltily. In his narrow eyes, a myriad of sparks flew as he said, "Why do you have so many questions? What could I possibly do? It’s you, Director Qin, don’t you know that you have to ask for leave if you don’t go to work?! Not asking for leave means you’re skipping work!"

Qin Yan was shaken by Bo Yunshen’s sudden burst of anger. She hesitated for a moment before responding, "I didn’t deliberately skip work. Mr. Bo, that night at the celebration party, Tang Tian locked me inside the restroom at the Night Club. I didn’t bring my phone with me when I left the private room. You should be clear about this matter."

Huh! What does that mean? Something Tang Tian screwed up? Why should he be clear about it?

Was Qin Yan trying to pin the blame on him, seeking compensation from him?

"What should I be clear about? Mrs. Bo, aren’t you always so impressive? Could Tang Tian’s petty tricks, that aren’t even presentable, really fool someone as strategic as you?"

Bo Yunshen’s voice dripped with sarcasm, his cold and indifferent words spilling out, "How was I not aware that Director Qin is so easy to bully?!"

Qin Yan knew Bo Yunshen had misunderstood her. She spoke in a low voice, "That’s not what I meant. I mean, you brought me out of the Night Club, so you should know about my situation..."

"Then what do you mean?"

Bo Yunshen’s anger surged, and he sharply interrupted Qin Yan’s explanation.

He had gone to great lengths to rescue her from the Night Club, had looked after her child for an entire day, and this damned woman, upon waking up, questioned and accused him?

His brain must have been kicked by a donkey to meddle in such affairs!

He abruptly stood up from the chair, his displeasure reaching a tipping point. He kicked over the trash can nearby with his foot.

Bo Yunshen’s gaze darkly fell on Qin Yan, sending a chill through her. Suddenly, the man turned and strode out of the hospital room.

Watching Bo Yunshen’s silhouette disappear at the doorway of the hospital room, Qin Yan felt as though her whole heart had been dropped into hot oil, painfully uncomfortable.

She looked up, eyes fixed on the dripping IV bag, and suddenly recalled the moment when she had woken up. Bo Yunshen’s hand had been on her lips, his gaze deep and distant.

Qin Yan licked her dry lips. What was he trying to do?

The position seemed as if he was touching her face.

As soon as this thought arose, Qin Yan shook her head, discarding this unrealistic notion.

Three years ago, when Lin Man had left, Bo Yunshen had already hated her to death. In Bo Yunshen’s eyes, she was despicable, wretched, and filthy beyond measure!

How could he possibly have any thoughts about her?

Qin Yan’s heart sour and bitter, perhaps it was because she had dreamt too much before waking up, for when she opened her eyes, she had the delusional feeling that Bo Yunshen had been patiently making eye contact with her for a long time.

She lay on a hospital bed, rubbing the corners of her eyes; her lips were pale.

Bo Yunshen had misunderstood the meaning of her words; she was saying that since he saved her, he should be clear that she didn’t intentionally skip work!

She had wanted to explain, but Bo Yunshen interrupted her.

Qin Yan smiled bitterly in helplessness; she knew that whether she explained or not, Bo Yunshen was not willing to listen.

He had long stopped caring about what she was thinking.

The only thing that surprised her was that she had been locked up in the Night Club by Tang Tian, and the person who ended up rescuing her was Bo Yunshen.

She had originally thought that Tang Tian’s actions were instigated by Bo Yunshen, especially since the marketing department still held the power over whether Tang Tian could become a big star. Qin Yan had assumed Tang Tian wouldn’t dare to offend her to death.

If he hadn’t saved her, Qin Yan really would have suspected that it was Bo Yunshen who instructed Tang Tian to toy with her, to intimidate her!

Qin Yan pinched the bridge of her nose; her eyes were sore and gritty after being open for too long, and a deeper layer of unspeakable emptiness welled up in her heart.

Bo Yunshen was unaware of what was going on in Qin Yan’s mind. As soon as he stepped out of the hospital room, he reached into his suit jacket, took out a cigarette, and lit it for himself.

The hospital was brightly lit, everyone hurried along, the atmosphere oppressively suffocating.

Bo Yunshen exhaled a puff of pale smoke, which instantly engulfed all expression on his handsome face; he flicked off the ash from his fingertips and was about to move when his phone rang.

The man took out his phone and glanced at the caller.

It was nearly midnight; what could Xu Lin want at this time?

Surely it wasn’t about Qin Yan again?

He pressed the answer button with impatience and asked, "What’s the matter?"

Bo Yunshen’s tone was harsh, and Xu Lin spoke with even greater caution: "Mr. Bo, I just got a call from Miss Tang, Tang Tian. She wants the lead role in ’Feng Huo Liao Ren’, and said it was a reward you promised her..."

Bo Yunshen’s eyes immediately darkened.

’Feng Huo Liao Ren’ was a project that Bo Group had just started preparing this month. The drama was flawless in both background and plot; Bo Yunshen himself had overseen it, ready to make a big splash by winning an award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, thereby breaking into the international market!

Tang Tian was nothing but a newcomer who had neither any works nor a significant following, only climbing up through scandals—was she even remotely competent as an actress?

Bo Yunshen didn’t speak for a long time. Xu Lin, feeling nervous, asked softly, "President, about this lead role... do we give it to her?"

"Blacklist!" Bo Yunshen’s lips parted slightly, coldly spitting out the two words.

Xu Lin was startled, it took a moment to realize Bo Yunshen meant to blacklist Tang Tian, even though the president and Tang Tian seemed very close just a few days ago...

Just to be sure, Xu Lin asked in a low voice, "President, you mean to blacklist Tang Tian?"

Bo Yunshen enunciated each syllable heavily, as if carrying the weight of thunder, "What else? Do I look like someone who ruins his own brand?!"

With that, he ended the call abruptly.
