Chapter 53: Chapter 53 He Waits for Her to Beg Him!

Her gaze fell upon the time displayed on Bo Yunshen’s phone screen: it was two in the morning.

The last time Qin Yinyin had gone missing, Mrs. Bo found her at this same hour, with the image of Qin Yinyin crouched in the alley near the kindergarten, crying silently, haunting Qin Yan’s mind.

Qin Yan’s breath felt as if it were caught in her throat, her eyes bloodshot, her body began to tremble violently.

She didn’t know in which corner Yinyin was now crying, her body was rigid as stone while Yinyin’s hoarse, choked voice echoed persistently in her ears, "Mama... Mama... I’m scared..."

Qin Yan was in utter agony, and in a daze, she remembered the events of a year ago.

She had found Yinyin who had mistaken someone else for her father.

That was also the first time Qin Yan had discussed the word "father" with Yinyin.

Her voice was hoarse as she asked her, "Mama, what is a father? Why do other kids have both a mama and a papa to bring them to school, but I only have Mama?"

"Why do they respond to little fatty when he calls for papa, but when I call, no one pays attention to me?"

Qin Yan was stumped by Qin Yinyin’s questions, gradually understanding the course of events that led to Yinyin getting lost.

She had mistaken someone else’s father for her own.

Following him outside the school, she ended up in unknown territory, not knowing the way home, she waited in the alley from dawn until dusk, from crying out loud to being silent.

Pain gripped Qin Yan’s eyes, as tears began to fall, one by one.

Yinyin was two; she had lost her once. Now at three, she had lost her again!

She loathed herself for being so powerless, unable to provide her with a complete family, and now, she couldn’t even play the basic role of a mother properly!

As soon as Xu Lin finished speaking, Bo Yunshen’s eyes were fixed on Qin Yan’s face.

She took two deep, forceful breaths, her lips pallid without a hint of life, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat, looking as if she had just been pulled out of water.

She seemed to be trapped in some kind of spell, with tears falling steadily, her eyes so red they appeared as if they could bleed.

Such a state made Qin Yan completely devoid of any beauty, resembling a fearsome apparition!

Bo Yunshen furrowed his brow; he had arranged for Qin Yan to stay in an SVIP ward where the air conditioning was turned up high. One could feel the chill even when sitting down, and considering the amount of sweat Qin Yan was producing, it seemed like she was quite terrified.

He sneered disdainfully. Was that little bastard really that important to her?

Or was it that Qin Yan was just putting on a show for him?

The thought had barely emerged before Bo Yunshen dismissed it. If it were an act, Qin Yan’s performance was excessively committed.

Looking at Qin Yan’s reaction, he felt no sense of satisfaction; instead, he grew more irritable. A sense of suffocation seemed to take hold in the depths of his heart, as if Qin Yan’s sorrow had somehow infected him.

The man narrowed his eyes; Qin Yan was not worthy of his sympathy, especially since three years ago, she had the means to drive Manman away, bearing a bastard to become Mrs. Bo. This kind of minor trouble couldn’t possibly defeat her, Qin Yan!

What a joke that was!

Bo Yunshen watched Qin Yan for a mere second before she suddenly threw back the covers on the bed, and without hesitation or even a glance, she yanked the IV needle from the back of her hand as if she couldn’t feel the pain.

Her action was so rough that a bead of blood immediately welled up on the back of her hand and quickly fell to the ground.

Bo Yunshen’s eyelids twitched as he watched Qin Yan put on her shoes and dash out of the hospital ward.

He stood frozen for a moment, then glanced down at his phone; Xu Lin’s call had not yet ended, and with Qin Yan’s shadow no longer in the room, Bo Yunshen stood straight up, his subconscious driving him to chase after Qin Yan.

"Director Qin..."

Bo Yunshen heard the voice on the phone and a deep crease furrowed between his eyebrows as he said, "What do you want with Qin Yan? Is there something else?"

Xu Lin hadn’t expected the phone to actually be in Bo Yunshen’s hands. He tentatively asked with caution, "President, Mr. Qin seemed very anxious on the line. Shouldn’t you first tell her that Miss Yinyin is all right?"

Bo Yunshen’s face instantly sheathed in frost, his tone turned exceptionally cold, "Are you teaching me how to handle matters? How about I hire you as Bo Group’s president tomorrow? Hm?"

Xu Lin shuddered, falling silent.

Bo Yunshen was even more irritated, his words spoken with a heavy accent, seemingly venting his anger, "Since you’re so concerned about Qin Yan and like meddling in her affairs, why don’t I transfer you to the Marketing Department tomorrow, so you can be with her every day, how about that?"

Having said that, Bo Yunshen wasn’t interested in hearing what Xu Lin thought and cut off the call, striding after Qin Yan, who was bumping around like a headless fly.

He was, in fact, curious to see what Qin Yan planned to do with the situation having escalated to this point.

Qin Yan walked all the way to the entrance of the hospital, the lighting was hazy, and the quiet of the summer night lent a sense of utter silence. The light fell on the back of Qin Yan’s hand, making the blood appear particularly fierce.

She simply couldn’t sit and wait for doom, the moment she stopped, all she could hear was Qin Yinyin sobbing and calling for her mother.

Yinyin was timid, and just thinking of the time she got lost a year ago made her heart pound with fear.

There was only one taxi at the hospital entrance. This wasn’t a hospital in the center of Tong City; it was situated in a remote location. Noticing this detail brought a bitterness to Qin Yan’s heart.

She knew why – Bo Yunshen had always seen her as a disgrace. Everyone in Central Hospital knew him; how could he possibly take her there, to parade around?

He didn’t want her to have a good life; he wouldn’t leak any information about helping her and wouldn’t give anybody the chance to make a fuss!

Qin Yan couldn’t afford to care about that, she instinctively walked towards the taxi.

Bo Yunshen stepped out just in time to see this scene.

He raised an eyebrow; what was Qin Yan doing?

Searching for that bastard?

Planning to take a taxi to find him?

Tong City was vast; if Qin Yan planned to take a taxi to search, it would take at least three days, wouldn’t it?

Even though she was desperate, Qin Yan wouldn’t use such a foolish method, would she?

Besides, did Qin Yan have the money for a taxi?

Bo Yunshen’s gaze darkened, the hospital’s spilling light cast a strange sheen on his hair, fragmented starlight settled in his eyes, broken into a river of stars, yet it was eerily mocking.

Like ridicule, like contempt.

The man paused, pulling a cigarette from the pocket of his suit jacket and putting it to his lips, his fingertips playing with a lighter, showing no intent to actually light it. With his eyelashes lowered, his face was as cold as frost.

Xu Lin had called earlier saying that Qin Yan’s bag and phone had already been sent to the company, and she would soon realize she had no money on her.

He was waiting for her to come to him and beg!

As Qin Yan was about to reach the taxi, she stopped abruptly. She reached into her clothing pockets to find them completely empty.

Her phone and bag weren’t with her; without money, the taxi wouldn’t take her.
