The CEO’s Unkown Wife
Chapter 140 - 140 140 Im Asking You A Question_1

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: I’m Asking You A Question_1 Chapter 140: Chapter 140: I’m Asking You A Question_1 “I’m glad you’re alright!”

As expected, Shen Yaxuan did not deny it.

Xia Qingtian sincerely hoped that the man from that night wasn’t Shen Yaxuan!!!

The things that needed to be said had almost all been said.

It was time to talk about the main issue.

Xia Qingtian cleared her throat, “Shen Yaxuan, may I ask you a question?”

“Of course, what’s the question?”

Shen Yaxuan could tell she was nervous right now.

To ease her anxiety, he made a joke.

“As long as it’s a question from you, I’ll answer it all. Even if you want to know about the time when I still wet the bed at age six, I won’t withhold it.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but chuckle.

This lightened her tense mood a bit.

“About three months ago, the person who stayed in the presidential suite at the top of the Imperial Hotel that night…”

She paused, tightly clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and finally spat out the last three words.

“Was it you?”

Xia Qingtian knew that her question was a bit strange.

She added, “I visited that room during the day and later lost something very important. I had a friend look into the records and found out the room was booked under your name that night.”

“If you were the one who stayed there that night, I want to ask if you found my belongings. It’s very important to me and I would like to find it.”

Shen Yaxuan looked up abruptly, staring intensely at Xia Qingtian.

“You didn’t know who stayed in the presidential suite that night?” He asked, somewhat surprised.

He had assumed Xia Qingtian did not want Bo Jingyan to know that she was the woman there that night.

So, when Bo Jingyan called to ask her the next morning, she denied it.

But what he didn’t expect was…

Xia Qingtian really had no idea!

Of course, he knew that Xia Qingtian was using the missing object as an excuse.

Her real aim was to find out who the man she had spent the night with in the presidential suite was.

Was Chen Momo also trying to help Xia Qingtian find information earlier?

“Yes, I didn’t know!” Xia Qingtian stared intently into Shen Yaxuan’s eyes. “So, was the person who stayed in that room that night you or someone else?”

“The person who stayed in that room that night was…”

Shen Yaxuan instinctively wanted to tell her.

The person who stayed in the presidential suite that night was Bo Jingyan.

But his mind was filled with images of Xia Qingtian asking for help when she was locked in the beach villa.

There was also the scene of her covered in blood, forced to clean the restaurant by herself by Bo Jingyan.

And Bo Jingyan declaring that Xia Qingtian was not worthy of his kindness.

Finally, there was the recent incident.

Bo Jingyan, against Xia Qingtian’s wishes, forced her to learn fishing.

And Xia Qingtian’s furrowed brows.

A struggle and hesitation flashed in Shen Yaxuan’s light brown eyes.

Soon,

He made up his mind!!!

“Yes!”

Shen Yaxuan lowered his gaze, avoiding Xia Qingtian’s eyes.

“The person who stayed in that room that night was me.”

“But I didn’t find anything in the room. If it’s really that important, I can help you call the hotel manager. I’m their VIP customer and they would definitely help if I ask them to.”

Xia Qingtian’s face had turned pale.

It really was Shen Yaxuan!!!

Xia Qingtian bit her lip.

Only when her mouth tasted the bitterness of blood did she find her voice.

“No need to go to so much trouble, perhaps I just misplaced it somewhere. I must’ve forgotten about it. It would be too much to expect everyone to look for it.”

She said with trembling voice, “You made your call, right? You should go back to Jingyan. My stomach is a bit upset, I need to go to the restroom.”

Even at this moment, Xia Qingtian remembered not to leave any loopholes in her words.

In case Shen Yaxuan said something to Bo Jingyan when he got back to the lake and gave away her lie.

After making sure there were no flaws, she turned and walked towards the restroom.

Shen Yaxuan noticed Xia Qingtian’s face was unusually pale.

He started to worry.

“Qingtian, are you okay?” He didn’t want to leave Xia Qingtian alone so he wanted to follow her.

Now, all Xia Qingtian could feel was annoyance.

She didn’t want to see anyone, especially Shen Yaxuan!

“I’m fine, can you not follow me? Don’t you realize how annoying you are? I just want some peace and quiet right now…”

She turned around and snapped at Shen Yaxuan impatiently.

Shen Yaxuan paused in his tracks.

He knew the impact the lie he had just told would have on Xia Qingtian.

But thinking of Xia Qingtian’s unhappy face, he steeled his heart and didn’t tell her the truth.

“Alright, I won’t follow you, I won’t.”

Shen Yaxuan knew she didn’t want to see him.

So he didn’t follow her, just stood there watching Xia Qingtian’s figure recede and eventually disappear from his sight.

Xia Qingtian entered the restroom alone.

She went into a stall and locked the door, then let go of her emotions.

She sat on the toilet, curling herself up. Only doing so gave her a sense of security, made her feel less cold, and her trembling less severe.

Thinking of what Shen Yaxuan had just said,

Her eyes welled up with tears and her nose felt sour.

Tears began to fall.

Before she knew the truth, she had been mentally prepared.

She had even analyzed it.

The possibility that Shen Yaxuan was the man that night was higher than Bo Jingyan.

She thought that she could rationally and calmly accept any reality.

But.

Until the moment she heard the definite answer from Shen Yaxuan, she realized how gravely mistaken she was.

The man that night was actually Shen Yaxuan.

And the child she was carrying was Shen Yaxuan’s!!!

How was she supposed to accept this?

How was she going to face Bo Jingyan in the future?

What would Bo Jingyan do to her after he found out about this?

Would he kill her on the spot?

A series of questions, like a rushing tsunami, pounded against her.

Xia Qingtian felt suffocated.

She had never felt so much pain, so helpless.

She didn’t know what to do now.

Suddenly…

There was a knock on the door.

Xia Qingtian jumped in surprise, even having a slight panic reaction.

She forced herself to calm down.

She quickly dried her tears, trying not to let her voice betray any abnormality.

“Who is it?” She asked casually.

She was afraid that the person knocking was Bo Jingyan.

If she showed the slightest sign of abnormality, given Bo Jingyan’s astute intelligence, he would certainly notice something was amiss.

And then follow the breadcrumbs to uncover all her secrets.
