Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Suspicions Arise_1 Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Suspicions Arise_1 “Xia Qingtian, I’ve already decided to give you a chance, considering our long-time friendship.”

“Why don’t you cherish it? Why, while carrying another man’s child, are you still clinging to Mr. Bo? Why are you still occupying the position of Mrs. Bo, unwilling to step down?”

“If you insist on being a stumbling block on my path to success, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Chen Momo thought quietly in her heart.

Xia Qingtian quickly finished freshening up and the two returned to the lakeside.

By the time they returned to the lakeside, the fishing competition between Bo Jingyan and Shen Yaxuan had ended.

Of course, Bo Jingyan emerged victorious in the end.

Knowing that Xia Qingtian liked fish, Bo Jingyan suggested taking the fish to the restaurant for the chef to prepare a feast.

Xia Qingtian felt better recently, her morning sickness seemed to have eased.

Seeing the lively fish and smelling the strong fishy smell, she didn’t feel sick or nauseous.

@@@TECTED!!!@@@reassured her.

Seeing this, Chen Momo’s eyes flashed calculatingly.

After a bit of pondering, she quickly formed a plan.

She looked at Xia Qingtian worriedly, then said to Bo Jingyan in a caring and considerate tone, “Mr. Bo, we should probably avoid having fish for lunch. Qingtian can’t eat food with strong flavors right now or she’ll start vomiting…”

Hearing this, Xia Qingtian’s expression immediately froze.

“Momo, why would you say that?” She was close to breaking down.

“Ah…”

Chen Momo seemed to just remember her earlier admonishment.

She looked guiltily at Xia Qingtian.

“Qingtian, I’m sorry, I forgot about that, I just remembered that you’re preg…”

She didn’t finish her sentence.

Quick as a flash, Xia Qingtian covered her mouth.

“Stop talking!”

Chen Momo nodded in agreement.

A shadow of doubt flickered in Xia Qingtian’s eyes.

She felt like Chen Momo did this on purpose.

She knew Chen Momo, she was neither forgetful nor careless.

She specifically warned her earlier in the washroom.

And even stressed on the severity of the matter.

Why would she say that then?

While Xia Qingtian was pondering, suddenly…

“Xia Qingtian, do you still feel nauseous when you smell fish?”

Bo Jingyan’s deep eyes were fixed on her, his gaze probing and icy.

Xia Qingtian bit her lip, pondering on how to respond.

Bo Jingyan’s gaze and tone sharpened.

“You said last time that you ate something bad which upset your stomach and made you nauseous. After so long, hasn’t your stomach recovered yet?”

“Are you hiding something from me?”

fear made Xia Qingtian’s body stiff as a stone.

Her heart was about to explode from anxiety.

Her mind was racing at a high speed, thinking about how to respond.

She couldn’t admit that her stomach was still not well, this would give Bo Jingyan an excuse to take her to see a doctor.

Didn’t he just mention that this resort has a medical room?

And even a doctorate in medicine inside.

He could very likely discover that she is pregnant!

Thinking of this, Xia Qingtian gained insights through her desperation and came up with an excuse, “No, no, my stomach has been fine!”

“Really?” The doubt in Bo Jingyan’s eyes didn’t fade.

He glanced sharply at Chen Momo, “That’s not what she just said!”

“That’s because…” Xia Qingtian immediately wanted to explain.

“Shut up!” Bo Jingyan interrupted her.

He cast a cold gaze at Chen Momo, who was silenced by Xia Qingtian covering her mouth.

“Let her go, let her speak!”

He felt that Chen Momo was about to reveal something important earlier, but Xia Qingtian interrupted her by covering her mouth.

A flash of worry crossed Xia Qingtian’s eyes.

She was afraid that Chen Momo might say something wrong again.

At that time, she would have absolutely no chance of recovery!

But now, with Bo Jingyan’s sharp gaze on her, she had no choice but to release her hold, or it would look even more suspicious.

After Chen Momo was freed, she glanced at Xia Qingtian, a glint flashed in her eyes.

Then, she gave Bo Jingyan a gracious smile.

“Mr. Bo, I was too worried about Qingtian. I only remembered that she had food poisoning for awhile, and always wanted to vomit. I forgot that so much time has passed and that she’s already recovered. I was making a fuss over nothing, causing you such worry, that was really rude of me.”

“Yes, Momo was just too worried about me, too nervous. Hence, she misunderstood. I’ve already recovered.” Xia Qingtian immediately nodded in concurrence.

Bo Jingyan stared at the two women, a subtle emotion flashing in his eyes.

He didn’t say whether or not he believed what they had just said.

However, he didn’t bring up the matter again.

“Let’s go, to the restaurant!”

Bo Jingyan and Shen Yaxuan went up front with the fish.

Watching Bo Jingyan walking away, Xia Qingtian heaved a sigh of relief.

Thinking about what Chen Momo just said.

A glimmer of doubt appeared in Xia Qingtian’s eyes when she looked at Chen Momo.

“Momo, why did you say those things in front of Mr. Bo?”

If it weren’t for her finding an excuse in time, her secret would have been exposed in front of Bo Jingyan.

Even now, remembering this still made her extremely frightened.

Chen Momo pursed her lips.

She had long realized that her being overwhelmed by jealousy and impatience had caused her to make reckless decisions.

She wanted to expose Xia Qingtian’s pregnancy in front of Bo Jingyan, wanting to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Luckily, she snapped out of it at the last moment.

Now, she’s still Xia Qingtian’s best friend. If she exposed Xia Qingtian in front of Mr. Bo,

Although she could drive Xia Qingtian away.

But at the same time, Mr. Bo would definitely regard her as a betrayer of friends.

It would be hard to change his impression after that.

Mr. Bo may find out about Xia Qingtian’s pregnancy.

But it shouldn’t be she who exposes it.

So she changed her words in time, spoke for Xia Qingtian, and turned the situation around.

Now Xia Qingtian doubted her.

Chen Momo quickly explained to Xia Qingtian, “I really didn’t mean to do that. I was just a bit concerned that the smell of the fish might trigger your morning sickness and raise Mr. Bo’s suspicions.”

“I am your best friend. Would I betray you? What good would that do me?”

Xia Qingtian’s expression darkened.

She couldn’t figure out the reason why Chen Momo would betray her either.

No matter whether Chen Momo wants to betray her or not, she could not break off with her now.

She knows too many of her secrets.

With these thoughts, Xia Qingtian could only let out a laugh.

“Of course, I trust you. You should be careful in the future, Mr. Bo is quite ruthless. If he finds out about my pregnancy, not only will he destroy me, but as my best friend, I’m afraid he will vent his anger on you too.”

Her words were both a reminder and a warning.
