The Cold-hearted CEO's Unwanted Bride
Chapter 495: I... will marry Yunshen the day after tomorrow.

Chapter 495: Chapter 495: I... will marry Yunshen the day after tomorrow.

Lin Man’s face stiffened.

She hated this feeling. In front of Qin Yan, Bo Yunshen’s ex-wife, Bo Yuanshan was so disrespectful to her, openly humiliating her.

But after all, she was Lin Man. Her face quickly returned to normal. She pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "I’m... getting married to Yunshen the day after tomorrow. I’m worried I won’t get used to it, so I’m practicing first."

Bo Yuanshan furrowed his brows.

Qin Yan laughed.

Lin Man being so shameless was not the first time. It started eleven years ago.

Back then, when Bo Yunshen and she had just confirmed their relationship, and everything was still sweet and sticky, he wished he could hang on her every day.

Every time they planned a date, Lin Man would cling to her arm and ask if she wanted to join for dinner.

Qin Yan, being thin-skinned, would agree every time.

Because of this, Bo Yunshen had said countless times that he didn’t like Lin Man and wished for some alone time...

Qin Yan suddenly felt that having her budding relationship torn apart by Lin Man was not so unjustified.

After all, she was naïve at the time. Only later, when Bo Yunshen left and she received news of him being together with Lin Man, did she realize that it had all been Lin Man’s well-intentioned plans.

Qin Yan, holding Qin Yinyin, walked inside the hospital in high heels.

They all took the elevator together to the SVIP floor.

As they neared the ward, Qin Yan halted. She set Qin Yinyin down and said softly, "Uncle, I won’t go in. You take Yinyin inside and have a few words with Mr. Bo. I’ll wait for Yinyin in the corridor."

Hearing Qin Yan say this, Lin Man surprisingly exhaled softly.

"Yanyan, the corridor is crowded. Go in together, don’t be afraid, I’m here. No one would dare bully you!" Bo Yuanshan said softly, "Besides, aren’t you planning to attend Yunshen’s wedding the day after tomorrow? You’ll have to face him then, so why not go in now?"

"No need."

Qin Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Bo probably doesn’t want to see me, and likewise, I don’t want to see Mr. Bo either. People who dislike each other shouldn’t irritate each other further by meeting."

Having said this much, Bo Yuanshan couldn’t insist. After all, it was already awkward enough. Bo Yuanshan smiled at Qin Yan and personally led Qin Yinyin into the room.

Bo Yunshen was alone in the ward. He was badly injured, coupled with illness, becoming weak by the day, his consciousness often wandering, and most times, he was in a state of sleep.

As soon as they walked in, Bo Yunshen opened his eyes. The indoor lighting was strong, causing him to reflexively blink. Once he adapted, he somewhat improved.

Bo Yunshen slightly lowered his gaze, his sight fixing on Qin Yinyin.

His eyes were profoundly dark, seemingly looking at someone who wasn’t there, as if he hadn’t yet woken from a dream.

Indeed, just now, he dreamt of Qin Yan, dreamt of the time before they divorced.

At the Bo Mansion, when the matter of abusing his wife was still unclear, Bo Yuanshan would whip him mercilessly. Perhaps due to the severity of his injuries, Bo Yunshen actually felt the pain in his dreams.

"Daddy?"

Qin Yinyin called out.

She hadn’t seen Bo Yunshen in over half a month, and if not for his unchanged facial features, she’d almost think she recognized the wrong person.

Bo Yunshen had lost so much weight, lying weakly on the hospital bed, a rare sight.

In an instant, Qin Yinyin forgot about Bo Yunshen marrying Lin Man, breaking free from Bo Yuanshan’s hold and running to the bedside, grasping tightly onto Bo Yunshen’s large hand, "Daddy, what’s wrong with you? Why have you lost so much weight?"

Qin Yinyin’s eyes teared up, resembling his eyes in their mistiness. Bo Yunshen abruptly came to his senses, realizing that the person before him wasn’t a dream.

"Yinyin? How did you return to the country? Did you come back alone?"

Qin Yinyin shook her head while crying, "I came back with Mom and Uncle Fu."

Bo Yunshen reached out, wiping away Qin Yinyin’s tears, suddenly smiling. For some reason, everyone present felt that Bo Yunshen’s smile was inexplicably sad.

"You’re grown up now, why cry?"

Bo Yunshen’s thick eyelashes concealed his emotions entirely, not revealing a trace.

Lin Man kept watching him. She slightly pursed her lips, noticing him seeming to unintentionally glance toward the entrance.

Lin Man pursed her lips, instinctively following his gaze, seeing just a corner of clothing at the ward’s door.

Yunshen probably didn’t know, right?

After all, upon entering, neither Mrs. Bo nor Bo Yuanshan mentioned this. Qin Yan also said they dislike each other, so Bo Yunshen likely wouldn’t guess that Qin Yan was just outside the ward?

Lin Man, nervously glancing at Bo Yunshen, soon realized his gaze seemed fixed solely on Qin Yinyin.

As if the unintentional glance before was merely her illusion.

Relieved, Lin Man moved to the bedside, picked up a fruit knife and an apple, and began peeling it. Her voice was low, soft and sweet, "Yinyin, Aunt Lin Man will peel an apple for you."

Qin Yinyin lowered her head, instinctively leaning closer to Bo Yunshen.

Lin Man, focused on the apple, didn’t notice how Bo Yunshen’s expression seemed frozen.

"By the way, Yunshen, since Yinyin is back, let’s not send her back to the States. Let her stay and live with us, okay?"

"I really like children..."

"So much that you’d leave a three-year-old on the street when the streetlights are out?"

Bo Yunshen lifted his head, his gaze intense as he fixed on Lin Man, his tone carrying a few degrees of ire, directly directed at Lin Man.

"Manman, I remember clearly stating that during the divorce, it was explicitly written in the divorce agreement that the child belongs to Qin Yan. Yinyin’s legal guardian is her. Unless she agrees, no one can take Yinyin from her side, not even for a few days!"

Lin Man choked.

"I promised Qin Yan that after the divorce, I wouldn’t disturb their mother-daughter life and I’ll keep my word without fail. Since you’re marrying me, I intend to hear this kind of thing only once and no more."

With so many people present, and Qin Yan just outside, Bo Yunshen spoke to her unapologetically, leaving Lin Man feeling humiliated.

"Yunshen, I... I just saw that you like Yinyin."

Bo Yunshen’s eyelashes fluttered, revealing an abyss within his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.

"Daddy, you still haven’t told us what’s wrong with you?

Qin Yinyin tugged at Bo Yunshen’s sleeve, carefully asking again.

Bo Yunshen’s gaze flickered for a moment, and he softly said, "It’s just an ordinary little..."
