Bo Yunshen’s mind buzzed for a moment.

Men’s slippers, a razor, visible through a transparent shopping bag, caught Bo Yunshen’s eye,

What was Qin Yan doing?

To force him into a divorce, and not caring about Qin Yinyin’s feelings, was she planning to find any random man to live with her in the hospital?

Bo Yunshen’s heart felt like swallowing a dead fly, neither able to swallow nor spit it out.

"Why did you buy these things?"

Hearing the man’s cold and clear voice, Qin Yan suddenly looked up. His sword-like eyebrows extended to his temples, and the depths of his dark eyes were unfathomable, making her look twice.

She slowly straightened up and said, "Is the paternity test result out?"

One day.

Asking like this was far-fetched because a formal paternity test procedure usually takes more than ten days to complete.

Even if Bo Yunshen was well-rooted in Tong City, he might not be able to get it in one day.

"Yinyin is my daughter."

His words were firm, and Qin Yan was somewhat surprised. It seemed that the result was indeed out.

Bo Yunshen didn’t ask how the child came to be, and Qin Yan had no desire to explain. She raised her eyebrows and, holding the things in her hand, said:

"Let’s go up first."

No!

Why should he listen to Qin Yan?

If Qin Yan wanted to be happy with some random man, it shouldn’t taint Yinyin’s ears!

Bo Yunshen paused for a moment, took a step following Qin Yan, and with that first step, caught up with her in two more steps.

He held Qin Yinyin with one hand and with the other free hand, reached out and took over the shopping bag from Qin Yan.

Qin Yan was startled for a moment, but went along with it and let go.

Upon reaching the ward, Bo Yunshen placed Qin Yinyin on the bed while Qin Yan went to call the nurse to give Qin Yinyin an IV.

The nurse checked Qin Yinyin’s wound, frowning, and reprimanded, "The stitches on the baby’s leg haven’t healed yet, and it’s now oozing blood."

"Don’t take her out again!"

Bo Yunshen’s heart tightened, and he frowned, asking, "Can you stop the bleeding?"

The nurse nodded.

Soon the nurse gave Qin Yinyin a hemostatic injection.

Bo Yunshen felt somewhat guilty.

Ever since he suspected that Qin Yinyin was his daughter, he had been eager to spend every day with her.

He never thought that love could be a burden.

After administering the IV to Qin Yinyin, Qin Yan pointed to the door and whispered, "Mr. Bo, can we talk?"

Bo Yunshen hesitated for a moment, then followed Qin Yan to the doorway of the ward. The position where she stopped was quite subtle; with a turn, she could see the IV inside the room.

He got straight to the point, "Qin Yan, I do not agree to you bringing another man to stay in the hospital!"

Qin Yan was surprised, but then suddenly understood. She let out a low laugh and continued, "Mr. Bo, you’re overthinking it. Those things are for you."

This time, it was Bo Yunshen who was surprised.

For him? Had Qin Yan changed her mind? Not getting a divorce, planning to raise Qin Yinyin together with him?

Due to Qin Yan’s words, a gentle current slowly flowed into Bo Yunshen’s chest.

But before he could be happy, Qin Yan suddenly said, "Aren’t you going to fight me for custody of Yinyin? I’ve decided to give you a chance. I’ll leave, and you take care of Yinyin for a few days."

Bo Yunshen took a deep breath, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head in the dead of winter, shockingly cold, making it hard for him to accept.

"Qin Yan, what did you say?"

He must have heard wrong, he certainly heard wrong.

Wasn’t Qin Yan always treating Qin Yinyin as her life?

How could she bear to leave her daughter with him, for him to take care of?

He had no experience!

Besides, Qin Yinyin was so severely injured that one careless move could put her life in danger.

"Are you crazy?"

"I take care of Yinyin, Qin Yan, I have never taken care of a child before, aren’t you worried, I..."

"Enough!" Qin Yan interrupted him.

Bo Yunshen’s eyelashes trembled, looking deeply at Qin Yan. She was shorter than him by more than a head, slender and weak, yet her aura was in no way inferior to anyone.

Qin Yan was very beautiful; she slightly raised her eyelashes and said softly, "Bo Yunshen, you should know, three years ago, I had no experience, I couldn’t take care of a child either!"

Bo Yunshen’s breathing slowed down.

"You still have immense wealth, don’t forget, three years ago, I had nothing!"

"You didn’t acknowledge Yinyin, wouldn’t let her return to the Bo Family, even locked me, who was about to give birth, in a room, yet I endured all of it!"

"Don’t tell me, with all your resources, you can’t endure it! Then on what basis do you talk to me about the word ’custody’!"

Bo Yunshen’s chest tightened, a strange dull pain suddenly hit him, his face paled almost imperceptibly.

"Okay."

Bo Yunshen replied, Qin Yan glanced at him, and turned to leave.

A warmth on her wrist caused Qin Yan to turn around, and she saw a trace of hesitation on Bo Yunshen’s handsome face: "Aren’t you going to say anything to Yinyin?"

Qin Yan sneered, "These things, let Mr. Bo say."

Explain?

She had been explaining for three years why Daddy wouldn’t see her!

She was tired.

Didn’t want to explain anymore.

Qin Yan shook off Bo Yunshen’s hand, her silhouette in high heels quickly disappearing down the hospital corridor.

Bo Yunshen’s gaze deepened.

Qin Yan left too decisively, without any hesitation, catching Bo Yunshen off guard.

He stood at the doorway of the ward, smoked a few cigarettes, and a layer of ash fell onto his shiny leather shoes.

Only then did Bo Yunshen move his statue-like body, turning around and going back into the room.

Upon hearing a sound, Qin Yinyin called out, "Daddy, is that you?"

"Yes."

Bo Yunshen walked to the bedside and sat down.

Qin Yinyin’s face was very pale. When the nurse was giving the injection, she mentioned that this drip would be very painful, and if the child cried, a little candy could help.

But he had to watch the needle, making sure the baby didn’t move it.

Bo Yunshen gently rubbed his daughter’s colorless face, and Qin Yinyin smiled, "Daddy, I recognize your footsteps."

"Hmm?"

"Yinyin also recognizes Mommy’s footsteps."

Bo Yunshen was somewhat surprised.

He kissed his daughter’s forehead and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts," Qin Yinyin whispered. Bo Yunshen was a bit flustered, reached for a piece of candy and offered it to Yinyin’s lips, "Want to eat some candy?"

"No."

Qin Yinyin shook her head and said softly, "I already had an ice cream cone today, and if I eat more candy, I’ll get cavities."

She was very sensible, or rather, easy to care for, never causing trouble for adults.

Bo Yunshen had no doubt, if this had been an adult in a car accident, they might not have endured the pain, yet Qin Yinyin, a three-year-old child, faced it calmly, even refusing candy.

Bo Yunshen’s chest was filled with Yinyin’s words, brimful with contentment and gratification.

"Daddy, where’s Mommy?" Qin Yinyin asked, "Didn’t Mommy come with you?"
