The Cold-hearted CEO's Unwanted Bride
Chapter 85: I advise you to go to work honestly!

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: I advise you to go to work honestly!

Back at the hospital, wasn’t she very tough? When she was threatening him, wasn’t she confident and articulate?

Why should he be the only one feeling uncomfortable? He hadn’t done anything wrong!

Moreover, had Qin Yan not gotten into that driver’s car on Friday, would this scandal have happened?

Because of Qin Yan’s involvement in a scandal, he had to clear his schedule, wasting manpower and resources to clean up Qin Yan’s mess. Qin Yan should have at least felt grateful, yet she even had the nerve to worry about him bullying the bastard!

If he really had no shame, he would have dealt with Qin Yan, this eyesore, three years ago!

Bo Yunshen chuckled, his cold laugh landing on Qin Yan’s heart like snowflakes melting away her last bit of warmth.

It was the height of summer, with the blazing sun overhead. Yet Bo Yunshen’s laugh alone sent chills down Qin Yan’s spine.

"Does Director Qin not have to work this afternoon? Planning on skipping work again? My Bo Group temple is small, and can’t afford to keep idlers!"

After finishing his words, Bo Yunshen subconsciously went to close the passenger door. Qin Yan reached out to stop it, only to have her wrist hit by the door, sending a sharp pain through her right hand and causing the wound on her finger to throb in pain as well.

Her complexion turned pale, her tone cold and hard, and even the honorifics she usually used when speaking to Bo Yunshen were gone.

"Bo Yunshen! I took the day off to take my daughter to kindergarten today! Don’t make unreasonable trouble! Yinyin is my child! Give her back to me!"

Qin Yan clung tightly to the passenger door. She instinctively bent over to take Yinyin out of the car, but Bo Yunshen pulled her away from the vehicle, before she could touch Qin Yinyin, and slammed the car door shut.

The man had no expression on his face, but was inexplicably cold, "Firstly, Bo Group has a rule that on Monday mornings, all departments must hold a weekly summary meeting, which the head of the department must not miss! Secondly, if it weren’t for you, would I have been so deeply entangled in such groundless scandal? Since your daughter is with me today, you’d better find a way to clear things up! Stop messing around with other men in public, it’s disgraceful!"

"Director Qin, I advise you to honestly go to work!"

Bo Yunshen rarely spoke such long sentences, and as he did, his eyes even showed a trace of sullenness, which Qin Yan, who wasn’t blind, naturally saw!

Qin Yan wanted to say something else when the passenger window slid down, and Yinyin’s delicate face peeked out. She blinked at Qin Yan, her eyelashes fluttering like a butterfly about to take flight.

"Mommy, Daddy is very nice to me. You go to work at ease."

Her chubby little hands on the window showed several noticeable dimples, and her dark pupil revealed unabashed joy and innocence.

Qin Yinyin’s words didn’t provide Qin Yan with a sense of security; on the contrary, they made Qin Yan even more worried.

"Yinyin..."

No sooner had Qin Yan uttered two words than the car suddenly started and moved a distance away.

Her pupils contracted dramatically, and she chased after the car for a few steps but was quickly left far behind!

"Bo Yunshen!"

Her attention had just been on Qin Yinyin, so she hadn’t noticed when Bo Yunshen got into the car!

Qin Yan hadn’t agreed to let Bo Yunshen take the child at all!

Over the past three years after Lin Man left, Bo Yunshen did nothing but indulge in games and flirt with women—how could he take care of a child!

But as soon as Bo Yunshen got into the car, he floored the gas pedal and charged out of the hospital’s parking lot. By the time Qin Yan gave chase, all she could catch was a mouthful of exhaust, and the car was nowhere to be seen!

Qin Yan stood there for half a minute, engulfed in sultry air with not a breeze to be felt. The sky resembled a massive cage that trapped her between heaven and earth, pushing her to the utmost point of oppression, and suddenly she squatted down in despair!

The forced pleasantries in front of Yinyin’s teacher and the parents of her classmates, the heart-stopping fear of a near-miss at the kindergarten gate, and now the sudden panic of Bo Yunshen taking Yinyin away—all her suppressed fears erupted in that instant.

She felt wronged and dissatisfied. A mix of emotions congealed in her chest as if a jar of mixed flavors were overturned—sour, bitter, spicy—all were present, yet the sole taste of sweetness was absent!

Qin Yan wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, the myriad of pent-up emotions contorting her expression for a moment.

She took a couple of deep breaths; darkness encroached upon her vision until the sound of a car horn by her ear made her stand up from the ground. Just as she moved to make way, an arm steadied her.

Qin Yan turned her head and found herself looking into the worried eyes of Lu Yi.

"Qin Yan? What are you doing here? Weren’t you going back to the old house with Bo Yunshen?" he asked.

Qin Yan shook her head, suppressing the tears that nearly spilled over, and said softly, "I didn’t go. Bo Yunshen and Yinyin went by themselves."

Lu Yi frowned, seeing her so out of sorts he could easily guess what Qin Yan was worried about.

He was silent for a moment, unsure how to console her, and then said softly, "Come on, I’ll drive you home. You’ve already asked for the morning off anyway. Go home and get some proper rest."

Just as Qin Yan was about to nod in agreement, she suddenly remembered what Bo Yunshen had said before he left. Her expression tensed, and she whispered, "No, I have to go back to the office!"

Lu Yi was taken aback. He looked at Qin Yan, puzzled, and asked, "Why go to the office at this time? You need to rest!"

Qin Yan took a deep breath. How could she dare to rest now? She had no idea when Bo Yunshen would return to the office. If she didn’t act fast to clear up the news of the wife abuse, there was no telling how he would make things difficult for her and Yinyin!

With burdens weighing on her mind, she pulled her arm free and gave herself a mental pep talk. She had already experienced days far more bitter and challenging than this. She had grown accustomed to them and wasn’t so easily knocked down.

"I’m going to the office. Yunshen wants me to clarify the news about the wife abuse."

As soon as she uttered these words, Lu Yi’s eyebrows scrunched into a "川" shape, and his tone involuntarily rose, "Is Bo Yunshen blind? Can’t he see the injuries on your body? You’ve just been treated, and the doctor said you need at least a week of rest!"

Anger tinged Lu Yi’s fair and handsome face with a flush of red: "I will talk to him about this. Let me take you home to rest first! You’re injured like this and still thinking about work?"

The expression on Qin Yan’s face remained tranquil, or rather, all the tumultuous emotions that had recently swelled in her heart had now completely dissipated. At this moment, all that remained was reason.

She was truly grateful for Lu Yi’s indignation on her behalf, yet she still rejected his offer: "You don’t understand Yunshen. Whatever he says, he means it. If I don’t go to work this afternoon, who knows what trouble he will cause?"

Lu Yi: "..."

"Lu Yi, I know my own body. I’m not that fragile. Let’s head to the office first."

Lu Yi couldn’t argue with Qin Yan, and his brows furrowed once again.

The hospital was bustling with people, and since Qin Yan had just been involved in a scandal, her face was drawing attention. As soon as Lu Yi stopped, he noticed people looking in their direction.
