Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Won a Big Bet_1 Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Won a Big Bet_1 Bo Jingyan’s face turned pale with anger as he brought the car to a stop, forcefully pushing Xia Qingtian into the back seat.

“Xia Qingtian, is being with me that painful for you?” He questioned her sharply, his eyes blazing.

“Yes, it is that painful!” Xia Qingtian retorted, holding his gaze firmly.

Her words were meant to provoke him, but they also held a grain of her honest feelings.

She was fond of Bo Jingyan.

Bo Jingyan liked her too.

However, she dared not let her emotions take control.

Because Bo Jingyan’s temper was unpredictable and he was difficult to read, being with him came with transient happiness but also a deep sense of unease and apprehension.

She truly loved Bo Jingyan.

But, she was genuinely terrified of him!

Bo Jingyan was filled with a dangerous rage.

He warned her coldly, “Xia Qingtian, I’m giving you one chance. Take back what you just said, and I’ll pretend I heard nothing. Otherwise…”

Xia Qingtian, having resolved to risk it all, interrupted him.

“Otherwise, what?” She sneered, “Will you imprison me in the seaside villa? Or perhaps…”

She paused, “Will you handle me like you do your adversaries – kill me or hack off my limbs?”

Bo Jingyan’s eyes flickered with a deep, dark emotion. “Xia Qingtian, do you think I wouldn’t dare?”

Alarms were going off all over Xia Qingtian.

Her instincts told her that Bo Jingyan was extremely dangerous at this moment and might strangle her at any moment.

Xia Qingtian was terrified, but she had no way out.

If she didn’t manage to infuriate Bo Jingyan thoroughly and was taken to the hospital by him, she would face a dead-end too.

She would probably die a more miserable death, with no whole body left for burial. At least now, she could opt for a quick death.

“You’re the infamous ruthless Bo, what wouldn’t you dare?” Xia Qingtian slowly closed her eyes, “Go ahead!”

It seemed like she had accepted her fate.

Yet, only Xia Qingtian knew how terrified she was, with her fingers trembling and her heart pounding as if it would jump out from her mouth any moment.

She wasn’t as fearless as she appeared to be, this was merely a high-stakes gamble.

She was betting on Bo Jingyan’s affection for her.

She was betting that Bo Jingyan wouldn’t bring himself to harm her.

Her days spent confined in the seaside villa were the best evidence of this.

Even when driven to the peak of frustration, Bo Jingyan had only shattered the French windows, and she remained unscathed.

On the contrary, it was Bo Jingyan who ended up covered in wounds.

Bo Jingyan’s chest was filled with a powerful rage, yet he still couldn’t bear to hurt the woman before him.

“Stop the car…” He commanded the driver coldly.

The driver did not dare to disobey and immediately stepped on the brake.

The car came to a halt by the roadside.

Bo Jingyan released Xia Qingtian, “Get out of the car and get as far away from me as possible. I never want to see you again!!!”

With that, he yanked open the car door and shoved Xia Qingtian out of the car.

Xia Qingtian staggered a bit, nearly falling, but managed to steady herself at the last moment.

Bo Jingyan shut the car door, refusing to give Xia Qingtian another glance as he instructed the driver to drive away.

He feared that even one more glance at her would incite him to hurt her.

Xia Qingtian stood motionless as she watched Bo Jingyan’s car slowly disappear from her sight.

Her legs gave in, and she collapsed to the ground, sitting down hard.

At this moment, she felt completely drained.

She had won her gamble!

Bo Jingyan did like her.

He indeed, could not bear to hurt her!

As she breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help feeling upset when she thought about how angry Bo Jingyan was earlier but couldn’t bear to harm her.

She did not want to infuriate him like that, but she had no other choice.

Xia Qingtian took a deep breath, pushing down all the negative emotions.

Let Bo Jingyan be angry.

With him mad like this, he would unlikely approach her for a while.

This provided an excellent opportunity for her to find out whether she was really pregnant or not.

In the meantime, she could also investigate if Bo Jingyan was the man she was with that night.

With renewed determination, Xia Qingtian mustered her remaining strength.

She intended to hail a cab and return to Apricot Forest Bay for the moment.

It was only then that she realized she didn’t have anything on her.

She immediately remembered that she had left her purse and cell phone inside Bo Jingyan’s car.

Now without a phone and penniless, she couldn’t even hail a cab.

Luckily, Apricot Forest Bay wasn’t too far from her current location.

She could reach there within an hour on foot.

Having decided this, Xia Qingtian slowly began to walk.

She didn’t know how long she had been walking, only that she was tired and thirsty, when suddenly…

A man reeking of alcohol approached her.

Too exhausted to dodge in time, Xia Qingtian was knocked back several steps by the man before she managed to steady herself.

“Damn it, are you blind? You almost knocked me over.” The man accused Xia Qingtian, cursing at her.

Xia Qingtian frowned. It was this drunk who had stumbled into her first due to his inebriation.

However, considering the late hour and her being alone, she decided it would be best not to drag this any further and voiced an apology.

“I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional.” Saying this, she intended to sidestep him and leave.

But having noticed Xia Qingtian’s delicate beauty and curvaceous figure, the man wouldn’t let her go.

“You bumped into me and want to just walk away like that? No such luck!” The man caught up with her and blocked her path.

Xia Qingtian knew she was in trouble. The location was somewhat isolated, and she didn’t have a cell phone to call for help.

She started to panic.

Xia Qingtian pursed her lips, trying to keep her calm. “I have apologized. What else do you want?”

“Come have a drink with me, keep me company. Maybe I’ll be in a good mood and let this slide.” Having said this, the man grabbed Xia Qingtian’s hand before she had time to react.

“Let go of me!” Xia Qingtian struggled immediately.

But she had already walked too much and was completely exhausted.

Moreover, the huge difference in strength between the genders worked against her favor. She couldn’t get away from the man’s grip.

Out of options, she bit the man’s wrist.

“Ah…” Feeling a sharp pain in his wrist, the man let out a cry of pain, followed by a burst of anger.

“You bitch, how dare you bite me. I’ll make sure you’re dead before letting this go.”

Furious, the man raised his fist and swung harshly at Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian tried to dodge, but she was too drained physically. All she could do was watch as the fist came towards her. Overwhelmed by fear, she squeezed her eyes shut.

“Watch out…”

Just at this critical moment, a familiar voice sounded abruptly.
