The CEO’s Unkown Wife
Chapter 154 - 154 154 Staying by Your Side_1

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Staying by Your Side_1 Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Staying by Your Side_1 “Sure.” Xia Qingtian nodded.

She could wait for three days.

She could use these three days to make all the arrangements.

She couldn’t allow Bo Jingyan to corner her at the hospital again.

It was settled then.

Xia Qingtian left the hospital with a sense of bewilderment, holding all the documents.

She checked the time.

Realizing it was still early, she had a meeting with a client and returned to the office before quitting time.

Not long after, it was already time to get off work.

Bo Jingyan came to pick her up, and together they went to the old house for dinner with Bo’s grandfather.

The grand old man was indeed very attentive to her.

Because she had vomited during the last meal, this time all dishes prepared were light and not highly flavored.

After dinner, Xia Qingtian was preparing to leave the old house with Bo Jingyan, not wanting to disturb the old man’s rest.

Just as she was about to leave, the old man insisted on her staying for dessert.

Xia Qingtian wasn’t interested in desserts.

But out of respect for the old man’s intentions, she didn’t refuse.

The old man mysteriously went to get the dessert himself.

Xia Qingtian was waiting for dessert when…

Suddenly…

The lights in the dining room dimmed.

Before she could react, a powerful hand was already holding hers in the darkness.

“Don’t be afraid!”

It was Bo Jingyan’s voice.

Knowing Bo Jingyan was there, Xia Qingtian felt particularly reassured.

“Why did the lights suddenly go out? Has there been a problem with the old house’s electrical circuit?”

She turned towards Bo Jingyan in the dark.

Instead of telling her directly, Bo Jingyan simply said, “You’ll understand soon.”

Just as he finished speaking, soft footstep sounds came from the entrance of the dining room, followed by a warm orange glow.

Upon closer look, Xia Qingtian found out that the old man and the butler were wheeling in a three-tiered princess cake full of candles.

The warm orange lights were from these candles.

“Happy birthday…”

The old man, Bo Jingyan, and the butler in the old house all began to sing Happy Birthday to Xia Qingtian.

After finishing the song, the old man conveyed his birthday wishes.

“Qingqing, happy birthday. I hope every year from now on, you can be joyful and happy.”

Xia Qingtian was a bit stunned at this.

If it wasn’t for the old man’s reminder, she would have forgotten about her birthday. But…

“Grandpa, I’m glad you’re celebrating my birthday, but I don’t think it’s today.”

Could it be that the old man remembered it wrong?

When she was abroad, he would celebrate her birthday on the actual day every year. How could he get it wrong this time?

She was worried whether the old man was having health problems.

“I know.”

The old man nodded.

“Your birthday is tomorrow.”

Upon hearing these words, Xia Qingtian was relieved.

It was a relief that he hadn’t remembered it wrong.

She was really worried that the old man might have a degenerative memory disease.

She looked at the old man with some curiosity.

“Since you remembered, then why this year…”

The old man just smiled kindly.

“Because things are different now. In the past, you and Jingyan were living in different places and I couldn’t celebrate your birthday; but this year is different.”

“You’re finally back in the country, and your relationship with each other has also been improving. Tomorrow, your actual birthday, should be left to him to celebrate, and to compensate for the birthday gifts he missed giving you in the past.”

After saying this, he turned to Bo Jingyan, his usual authority returning to his voice.

“Did I say it right, kid?”

Bo Jingyan nodded and looked at Xia Qingtian.

“Grandpa’s right. Let him celebrate your birthday today in advance, and tomorrow I’ll accompany you to properly celebrate.”

Xia Qingtian nodded.

“Okay.” She agreed.

The two of them exchanged smiles.

Suddenly, there was an atmosphere in which no one else could interrupt.

The old man observed, feeling utterly satisfied.

“Alright, alright. You two stop looking at each other. You have the whole day tomorrow, you can do whatever you want then.”

He urged Xia Qingtian.

“Qingqing, now you can make a wish to the candle, then you can blow out the candles and cut the cake.”

Xia Qingtian retracted her gaze from Bo Jingyan, came in front of the large three-layered cake as told, closed her eyes, and made three sincere wishes.

After making her wishes, she slowly opened her eyes.

Everyone knows, once a wish is spoken out loud, it won’t come true, so no one asked what wish she had made.

Next was the cake cutting.

After Xia Qingtian cut the cake, it was distributed.

The old man handed a finely packed gift box to Xia Qingtian.

“Qingqing, this is your birthday gift.”

Xia Qingtian received a gift every year.

She happily took it over, “Thank you, grandpa.”

The gift wasn’t important, what was important was the grandpa’s care and affection for her.

The old man was impatiently urging Xia Qingtian.

“Qingqing, hurry up and open the gift I gave you. See if you like it.”

Xia Qingtian didn’t hesitate and immediately unwrapped it.

The gift, reflected in the candlelight, emitted a particularly charming and dazzling glow, almost blinding to the eyes.

It was actually a beautifully designed set of pink diamond jewelry.

The set obviously held a high value.

“Grandpa, this is too expensive!”

Xia Qingtian immediately closed the gift box.

She felt the gift was too hot to handle.

She wanted to return the gift to the old man.

“What’s so expensive about it? No matter how expensive the gift is, it doesn’t compare to you.”

The old man looked at her seriously.

“You are my granddaughter-in-law, Jingyan’s wife, the mistress of Bo Group, and the whole Bo Group will be yours in the future. What is this little piece of pink diamond jewelry compared to that?”

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian subconsciously touched her stomach.

She felt a heavy feeling in her heart.

If the old man knew that she was carrying another man’s child, he probably wouldn’t be saying this, right?

He might even have a heart attack out of anger.

With this thought, Xia Qingtian was even more determined to have the child in her belly aborted.

The old man saw Xia Qingtian with her hand on her belly in a daze, and couldn’t help but worry.

“Qingqing, why are you silent? Is your stomach uncomfortable again?”

Xia Qingtian came back to her senses, “No, it’s not uncomfortable, I was just thinking about other things.”

She saw the determination in the grandfather’s eyes and knew that he insisted on giving her the pink diamond.

Her refusal was futile.

So she stopped trying to refuse and accepted the birthday gift.

“Thank you, grandpa.”
