Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Last Phone Call

But Qin Yan knew it was impossible!

How could it possibly be?

Bo Yunshen only considered Qin Yinyin as a bastard with an unknown father, especially since Qin Yinyin had crawled out of her womb. He had no time to hate Yinyin, let alone pick her up from school.

That question had a dead-end answer from the very beginning!

Yet Qin Yan still took out her phone, and although she couldn’t ask Bo Yunshen, she had been busy at that time and had hired a nanny to take care of Qin Yinyin.

She wanted to call the nanny at home and ask if she had picked up the child.

To make matters worse, Qin Yan’s phone ran out of battery and shut down automatically at the time.

She borrowed a phone from Qin Yinyin’s teacher but couldn’t remember the nanny’s mobile number, so she thought of calling Lu Xiangxiang to ask if she knew the situation, only to find that she didn’t remember Lu Xiangxiang’s number either.

In short, the situation was a mess back then!

After that incident, Qin Yan engraved everything about Qin Yinyin in her mind—kindergarten teachers, classmates’ parents, Lu Xiangxiang, the nanny at home. Every person related to Qin Yinyin, all their phone numbers, she carved them all into her brain, into her heart.

Even if they changed their contact information, she would immediately commit it to memory.

"Director Qin, are you keeping me from speaking just so you can daydream? It seems that the bastard isn’t that important to you after all!"

His words, filled with scathing sarcasm, snapped Qin Yan out of her reverie, but she had no interest in dealing with Bo Yunshen’s provocation and instead looked his way thoughtfully.

Bo Yunshen felt very uncomfortable under Qin Yan’s gaze, he furrowed his brows, and his pupils were drowned by the shadows.

Qin Yan wasn’t looking for the bastard, so why was she watching him like that? Could it be that she was plotting something again in her mind?

Qin Yan pressed her lips together firmly. She had chosen a reputable kindergarten for Qin Yinyin, where the teachers were selected through rigorous screening, known for being responsible.

If she couldn’t pick up Yinyin or get in touch, the kindergarten would definitely contact Yinyin’s father.

Qin Yan’s gaze burned into Bo Yunshen. When she enrolled Yinyin in the kindergarten, they required her to fill in the child’s father’s mobile number.

Fearing Bo Yunshen’s resistance, she didn’t dare to leave his number. Instead, she called Xu Lin and, after getting permission, filled in Xu Lin’s mobile number.

Qin Yan’s eyes brightened. She eyed Bo Yunshen suspiciously, scanning him up and down. Judging by his expression, he didn’t seem to be aware of what was happening with Yinyin.

"What are you staring at? Do you still need the phone? If you don’t, give it back. I’m not comfortable hanging around a hospital like this; I’m not keen on keeping you company!"

Bo Yunshen spoke irritably, then stared frostily in Qin Yan’s direction.

Qin Yan’s grip on the phone tightened a notch, her brows furrowing: Since he was reluctant to accompany her, why did he return?

Qin Yan didn’t dwell on it; Bo Yunshen’s behaviors were always unpredictable, and she was not narcissistic enough to think he had returned because he was worried about her.

Qin Yan’s gaze returned to the phone screen and said, "I will make one last call, Mr. Bo, please wait a moment."

Bo Yunshen snorted coldly, his pupils diffusing a hazy light, reflecting the indoor lighting in a sinister and gloomy way.

He adjusted his grip on the armrest of the chair, the creases on his suit from the accumulation of movements refolded into new ridges, leaving no trace on the pure hand-sewn clothing.

The last call?

Qin Yan was so certain that this last call could find the bastard?

Not many knew that he had taken the bastard from the police station!

Bo Yunshen’s lips curled up in mockery before he fell silent again, intending to continue watching Qin Yan’s drama unfold.

Qin Yan guessed that Xu Lin might be the only one who knew the whole story.

And as Xu Lin was Bo Yunshen’s assistant, Bo Yunshen should have saved his phone number.

She bowed her head and clicked into Bo Yunshen’s phonebook.

As Bo Yunshen waited to watch Qin Yan’s drama, he naturally took in every move she made. The moment he saw her action, Bo Yunshen’s handsome face turned instantly dark.

In front of him, she actually dared to look through his contacts!

Claiming to worry about the bastard’s safety, she became lost in thought after just a couple of phone calls, and now she had the nerve to surveil his post?

Did Qin Yan think she was something special, daring to meddle in his private life?

Did she even qualify?!

Bo Yunshen’s rage surged, and just as he was about to snatch away the mobile phone, Qin Yan suddenly turned her head and met his gaze.

His eyes were filled with a fiery haze, swirling around, yet it did nothing to obscure the sharpness in his pupils.

Qin Yan startled, Bo Yunshen’s contact list was so sparse it could be counted on one hand, and Xu Lin’s number was not even saved. She turned her head, simply wanting to ask for Xu Lin’s mobile number, but was met with Bo Yunshen’s unexpectedly murderous look!

Her fingers trembled, and her voice carried layers of tension and unease, "Mr. Bo... could you please give me Secretary Xu’s mobile number?"

Bo Yunshen was doused as if with a bucket of cold water, the flames in his heart extinguished completely.

His lips twitched twice. Qin Yan was flipping through his contacts just to find Xu Lin’s number? Not to snoop through his phone?

Not to look for those so-called mistresses?

He eyed her suspiciously several times, his gaze enigmatic.

Bo Yunshen feigned ignorance and asked, "Director Qin, what do you need my secretary’s mobile number for? What now, is your last call going to be to Secretary Xu? Think carefully!"

Qin Yan pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "When registering Yinyin for school, the institution required the father’s contact information. With you being so busy each day, I communicated with Secretary Xu and filled in his mobile number..."

Bo Yunshen let out a low snort of derision.

Qin Yan’s cunning was beyond measure. He should have known better that the trouble with the bastard couldn’t have escalated to him without this woman’s scheming!

Paternity tests, along with today’s spectacle, just to make him recognize Qin Yinyin as his illegitimate child?

In your dreams!

He, Bo Yunshen, had no interest in playing the fool!

A cold laugh leaked from Bo Yunshen’s lips, "My secretary, since when is Director Qin in a position to give orders? There are plenty of female employees with children in the company. Director Qin, if everyone were to list Xu Lin’s mobile number as the father’s contact come school registration, wouldn’t the company be turned upside down?"

Qin Yan felt a pang in her heart.

Bo Yunshen didn’t acknowledge Yinyin, and had she initially listed Bo Yunshen’s mobile number, that would’ve caused a real mess, wouldn’t it?

Besides, Yinyin was truly Bo Yunshen’s child; wasn’t it only reasonable that she listed Bo Yunshen’s secretary’s number?

Bo Yunshen was giving her a hard time, apparently choosing neither the time nor the setting.

Bo Yunshen was always indifferent to the people and things around him. That she had left such a terrible impression on him, she really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
