Clearly, Bo Yanchen misunderstood; he thought Tang Nuanning was openly flirting with him.
"Shameless! Unreasonable!"
Tang Nuanning glared, knowing he had misunderstood, and quickly explained,
"You've got it wrong, I just wanted to see your..." (whether there were bite marks on his shoulder)
Back then, she had passed out from pain, and when pain woke her, she could no longer bear it and bit down hard on his shoulder without letting go...
The way she bit him, a normal person would definitely have scars.
If there were bite marks from her on his shoulder, it could prove he was that wild man!
But before she could finish her sentence, Bo Yanchen's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and answered, "Speak!"
Whatever the person on the other end said, it made his expression change in an instant,
"I'll be right back."
After hanging up, Bo Yanchen rushed out, no longer calm, his eyes filled with restlessness and anxiety.
Zhou Sheng saw this and knew right away that it must be the little young master's issue!
In this world, the only ones who could make his boss panic were the little young master and that woman from six years ago.
The little young master was Bo Yanchen's own son.
That woman was naturally the child's mother, whom Bo Yanchen had been unable to find!
Zhou Sheng's expression also changed as he hurried after him,
"Brother Chen, how should we deal with Miss Tang?"
Bo Yanchen didn't even turn his head back, "Hand her over to the police!"
Tang Nuanning was terrified and, putting aside verifying his identity, quickly followed him,
"You can't hand me over to the police. I have three children at home, and they don't have a father. If I am taken away by the police, there will be no one to take care of them.
I admit it was wrong for my child to scratch your car. I'm sorry, I apologize! But my children are only five years old, they really can't be without their mother."
Bo Yanchen turned his head to glance at Tang Nuanning... he knew better than anyone how pitiful a child without a mother was!
Just like his Baby Shen!
Bo Yanchen felt a pang of compassion, but he didn't intend to let her off that easily,
"Lock her up here for now, and we'll deal with her later!"
Tang Nuanning panicked, "You can't lock me up here either, my children are waiting for me in the little hotel, I... Crash!"
The door slammed shut, locked from the outside!
Tang Nuanning's eyes reddened in panic. She didn't even have her phone. What if her children in the motel ran into a bad person?
"Let me out! This is illegal confinement! Let me out right now..."
No matter how much she shouted, no one paid attention.
...
In Jin City's most upscale mansion, No.1 Mansion.
Bo Yanchen arrived home in a flurry, without even taking off his clothes or shoes, he rushed straight to the second floor to the children's room.
Butler Yang Bo hurried after him.
Bo Yanchen's face was tense with anxiety, "What exactly happened?!"
The old butler hurriedly reported,
"The little young master was fine earlier, but in the afternoon, Miss Shen suddenly showed up. She brought gifts and went upstairs to look for the young master. I don't know what she said to him, but the young master suddenly became violent and even hurt Miss Shen."
A shadow flickered across Bo Yanchen's eyes, his steps quickening,
"Did he hurt himself?"
"It's unclear, the young master won't let us near."
"Bang!"
"Thud!"
"Crash Bang—"
Just as Bo Yanchen reached his son's door, he heard the sound of something being smashed inside.
His tension rose a few notches, and he pushed open the door and walked in,
"Shen..."
A vase flew at him, and Bo Yanchen swiftly dodged it. The vase whizzed past his ear and flew out of the room, over the railing, and crashed onto the first floor, shattering to pieces.
Yang Bo's face paled with fright, standing motionless at the doorway.
Bo Yanchen, long used to such occurrences, stepped inside and patiently looked at his furious son, slowly approaching,
"Baby Shen, what's made you unhappy again?"
Bo Zongshen clenched his fists tightly, his small brows knotted, his chest heaving.
His face was shadowed with rage, fury towering like a tempest. His angry demeanor was the spitting image of Bo Yanchen's, even their auras matched without discrepancy.
It was clear they were blood-related!
Bo Yanchen walked over slowly, wanting to reach out and embrace his son, but Baby Shen rejected his hug, standing two meters away and glaring at him,
"You're getting married?"
Bo Yanchen was taken aback, "Who told you that?"
Baby Shen remained silent, staring intently at him.
Bo Yanchen thought of Shen Jiaoyue, "Did Shen Jiaoyue tell you?"
The furrow in Baby Shen's brow deepened, "..."
Bo Yanchen understood and explained with a darkened face,
"Don't listen to her nonsense! Daddy has no plans to find you a stepmother. All these years, I have never given up on finding your birth mother, you know that."
"Not marrying her?"
"Not marrying!"
"Sure?"
"Sure!"
Upon hearing this, Baby Shen's expression softened slightly, "I don't like her."
Bo Yanchen said, "I don't like her either."
Baby Shen's lips moved slightly, "Is there any news about my mommy?"
"Not yet, but rest assured, as soon as there is news, Daddy will be the first to tell you."
Bo Yanchen felt both love and hate for that woman!
Back then, she became his antidote, indirectly saving his life, and he was grateful to her.
Moreover, being traditional in mindset, he believed in 'one life, one pair of people'. Since he had already been with her, he could only want her for his whole life—no one else would do!
Therefore, he wanted to find her, marry her, and spend a harmonious life with her.
But later, the sudden appearance of Baby Shen made him feel hate as well as love.
He had only been with her in his life; Baby Shen had to be her child—they were the fruit of their love. How could she just abandon him?!
If it weren't for Shen Jiaoyue's accidental discovery of Baby Shen, he would have died right at their doorstep!
She abandoned him, and she abandoned their child too!
How cruel her heart was!
Bo Yanchen silently complained to himself, and seeing Baby Shen somewhat calmed down, he walked over, crouched down, and gently touched his son's cheek, his tone warm,
"Baby Shen, Daddy is just as desperate to find her. I wish she could appear before us right now, but... some things can't be forced. It's not that we can have her just because we want her."
It might seem unbelievable if told, but the two most valuable men in the eyes of the world, each was lonelier and more pitiable than the other!
They were both abandoned by the same woman!
Baby Shen furrowed his brow tightly,
"Why doesn't mommy want you or me anymore? Is it because you weren't good enough, or I wasn't good enough?"
Bo Yanchen shook his head, "When she left, you had just been born. How could it be because you weren't good enough? You are a great child."
"Then it's because you weren't good enough. Did you bully her, drive her away?"
"I..." Bo Yanchen wanted to refute but felt guilty.
Although there were reasons back then, in that situation, he had no chance to go to the hospital. If he hadn't used her, he would have died.
But at that time, she indeed struggled desperately, resisted.
So yes, it could be considered that he had bullied her.
He didn't know if her secretive departure was because of this...
He was at fault; he knew that. He genuinely wanted to make it up to her, to earnestly spend the rest of his life with her.
"...Baby Shen, some unpleasant things did happen between your mommy and me, but believe Daddy, I once told her in person that I would make her the happiest and most honored woman in the world. Yet, she still disappeared... You miss her, and I miss her too."
Baby Shen kept staring at Bo Yanchen for a while, then, as if in a huff, turned around and sat in front of the window, gazing earnestly toward the direction of the villa's gate.
He often sat there when he was alone at home.
He was hoping that one day, when his mommy suddenly appeared, he could be the first to spot her.
Bo Yanchen looked at his son's lonely figure and felt a pang in his heart.
At times like this, he couldn't help but blame her in his heart.
That damn woman, where on earth has she gone to?
His son was sick from missing her so much, yet she still hadn't hurried back.
By abandoning him and their son, wouldn't her heart ache?!
