The CEO’s Unkown Wife
Chapter 117 - 117 117 Let Me Tell You_1

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Let Me Tell You_1 Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Let Me Tell You_1 Seeing the distress in Xia Qingtian’s face,

Shen Yaxuan immediately realized that she must have stumbled upon a problem.

“What happened? Tell me, I might be able to help you.”

Xia Qingtian knitted her brows, “I’m fine, I just need to use a mobile phone.”

If Shen Yaxuan couldn’t see that she was not being honest, then all these years would have been for nothing.

“If you won’t tell me, then I will ask Jingyan.” Saying this, he started to leave.

Seeing this, Xia Qingtian immediately panicked.

“Don’t…” She promptly stopped Shen Yaxuan.

She couldn’t let Bo Jingyan know she was attempting to seek help from outside via a phone call.

Otherwise, Bo Jingyan would definitely be on guard against her in the future, and then she would have no chance at all.

“Can you tell me now?” In Shen Yaxuan’s gentle eyes, a dull light flickered.

Xia Qingtian was somewhat regretting seeking Shen Yaxuan’s help, but once the arrow is launched, it never turns back.

She also knew it was not good to air her dirty laundry in public, so she downplayed her situation, “Jingyan and I had a little disagreement. He won’t let me leave here and my phone has been confiscated. I just want to borrow your phone to assure my family and friends that I’m safe.”

She didn’t meet with her senior the previous night, and didn’t know if he was worried.

And she hadn’t gone to work for several days without asking for leave. If she didn’t give an account now, she could risk losing more than just her phone, including her job.

So borrowing a phone to use was really necessary.

Even though Xia Qingtian hadn’t explicitly said so, Shen Yaxuan still cleverly understood what was going on.

Bo Jingyan had actually confined Xia Qingtian.

He felt uncomfortable. Didn’t Jingyan like Xia Qingtian? How could he have the heart to treat her this way?

“Alright, take it.” Shen Yaxuan handed the cell phone over to Xia Qingtian.

When Xia Qingtian took the phone, her hands were shaking from excitement.

This time, she didn’t call Gu Jinchuan, because she didn’t want to implicate him.

In the end, without any hesitation, she dialed the number of Bo Jingyan’s grandfather.

The only person who could now retrieve her freedom from Bo Jingyan was him!!!

The phone rang twice, and it got connected quickly.

“Hello…” The grand old voice of Bo Jingyan’s grandfather echoed in her ears, stern yet dignified.

Ever since Bo Jingyan brought her here, Xia Qingtian didn’t only lose her freedom but also lived in fear every day.

Knowing that she was about to be rescued, she couldn’t help but get a bit emotional.

Her eyes were slightly red and her voice somewhat choked.

“Grandpa…” As Xia Qingtian was about to plead for help, suddenly…

Someone grabbed her wrist tightly.

Before she could react, the phone in her palm was snatched away.

Xia Qingtian was stunned for a moment. When she looked back, she was shocked to find that it was Bo Jingyan who had snatched her phone.

After Bo Jingyan snatched the phone, he looked at Shen Yaxuan who was still standing on the side.

“Yaxuan, I need to talk to Xia Qingtian in private. You go back to the study and wait for me, I will be with you shortly.”

Shen Yaxuan was worried about Xia Qingtian, but he had neither the status nor the power to protect her.

Finally, he cast a worried glance at Xia Qingtian and went to Bo Jingyan’s study.

After Shen Yaxuan left, only Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan were left in the room.

Xia Qingtian was on the verge of breaking down.

The most desperate thing in this world was having hope given to her, only to have it cruelly crushed before her eyes.

This was even more desperate than never having been given hope at all.

“Bo Jingyan, give me back my phone!” Xia Qingtian didn’t care about upsetting Bo Jingyan anymore, and reached out to snatch the phone back.

Bo Jingyan’s face looked very grave.

If he hadn’t already calculated when Shen Yaxuan would arrive,

And had come over due to surprise when he hadn’t shown up at the expected time,

Would Xia Qingtian’s call have gone through?

“Why give you back your phone? Who do you want to call? Gu Jinchuan?” Bo Jingyan asked her, expressionless.

Xia Qingtian denied it, “I didn’t call my senior. I already told you, there’s absolutely nothing romantic between my senior and me.”

Seeing herself exposed, there was nothing left for her to hide.

She preemptively confessed before Bo Jingyan asked, “I was calling Grandpa, to tell him how you’ve locked me up like a prisoner. I want him to save me.”

Bo Jingyan’s face turned even more gloomy, this damn woman was constantly thinking of ways to leave him.

“Dream on!” he coldly warned, “Xia Qingtian, let me tell you, you won’t ever leave me in this lifetime, unless… I die!”

Xia Qingtian, who had decided to risk it all, still felt a chill run down her spine, and she murmured, “Bo Jingyan, you devil.”

Bo Jingyan didn’t care about her evaluation.

“Since you’ve been so disobedient, you should be punished properly.” He dragged her by the wrist back to her room, pushed her in, and immediately shut the door.

Xia Qingtian immediately started banging on the door, “Bo Jingyan, what are you trying to do?”

But the door remained immovable. It turned out that Bo Jingyan had locked it from the outside.

And Bo Jingyan’s icy voice came in, “Stay vigilant at this door. From now on, Xia Qingtian is not allowed to set foot outside. If she vanishes into thin air again, then there’s no need for you to exist in this world anymore.”

“Yes, Young Master Bo, we’ll guard Miss Xia carefully.”

Xia Qingtian was somewhat in disbelief hearing this.

Bo Jingyan had actually changed his command from not allowing her to step out of the villa to not allowing her to step out of the room.

Her chances of escaping and seeking help, which were already slim before, had now been extinguished completely.

She continued to pound on the door angrily, “Bo Jingyan, open the door now!!!”

Bo Jingyan ignored her, reined in all his emotions, and went straight back to the study.

Shen Yaxuan was sitting on a chair in the study, randomly reading a financial book. He put down the book when he saw Bo Jingyan return.

“Have you taken care of your issues?” he asked.

“Mmm.” Bo Jingyan was not in a good mood.

Although he had locked Xia Qingtian in her room to prevent her from leaving,

He was powerless to change the fact that Xia Qingtian was constantly thinking of leaving him.

He didn’t want to bring up Xia Qingtian anymore and ruin his mood.

So, he immediately brought up serious matters, “By the way, didn’t you tell me that you have results on the matter I asked you to investigate?”

Shen Yaxuan put down the financial book in his hand, “Yes, the results came in.”

“So, was it Xia Qingtian the other night?” Bo Jingyan asked lazily.

He was merely asking as a formality. In his heart, he had already identified her as the one.
