Bo Jingnian, considering the couple's kindness in raising Yanyan, had been conceding all along. But after hearing the man's words, he understood that no matter how much they conceded, they couldn't peacefully take the child back.
He got up to leave, instructing the bodyguards to watch them closely and not let them escape.
He returned to the guest room; Tian Lingyun was a light sleeper and woke up at the sound of footsteps. She opened her eyes, accustomed to the dim light of the guest room, only to notice Bo Jingnian's gloomy expression.
She quickly sat up as Bo Jingnian sat down beside her, asking, "Did I wake you?"
Tian Lingyun shook her head, "I wasn't sleeping deeply anyway. Are they still unwilling to give Yanyan back to us?"
Bo Jingnian's eyes flashed with menace, and he said coldly, "Reasoning won't work; it seems we'll have to take her by force."
