The CEO’s Unkown Wife
Chapter 156 - 156 156 Dont Want to Be Alone in an Empty

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Don’t Want to Be Alone in an Empty Room_1 Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Don’t Want to Be Alone in an Empty Room_1 A warmth filled Xia Qingtian’s heart immediately, bringing a hot prickling sensation to the corners of her eyes.

She sniffed and asked with a slight laugh, “Isn’t the tradition to give flowers, why are you giving money?”

“Don’t you like money?” Bo Jingyan retorted.

“Who said I liked money?” Xia Qingtian was puzzled.

Indeed, she did like money.

Who in this world doesn’t?

But, the way Bo Jingyan put it made her feel a little uncomfortable, as if she was greedy for wealth.

Bo Jingyan didn’t bother to hide his intentions.

“I don’t know what you like, so I specifically asked your best friend. She said you only care for money.”

Best friend?

Chen Momo?

Finally, Xia Qingtian understood why Bo Jingyan said she cared for money.

Did Chen Momo say that to make him think she was a materialistic person?

“Do you think it’s bad for me to like money? Am I a greedy, materialistic woman?”

Xia Qingtian looked down, her eyelashes fluttering uneasily.

She didn’t know if Bo Jingyan had been swayed by Chen Momo’s words.

She didn’t hear an answer from Bo Jingyan, but suddenly felt a flick on her forehead that brought a wave of slight pain.

She instinctively covered her head.

“Xia Qingtian, what kind of thoughts are you constantly brewing in there?”

Bo Jingyan flicked her forehead.

“You are Mrs. Bo, everything I have is yours. Do you still need to be materialistic? Who else’s wealth will you worship? Who else in A City could be richer than me?”

Seeing his roguishly arrogant expression, a smile spread across Xia Qingtian’s face.

It seemed that Bo Jingyan hadn’t been swayed by Chen Momo’s words after all.

“Bo Jingyan, you are so wonderful!” Xia Qingtian warmly praised as she smiled at him.

The sight of her smile lit up Bo Jingyan’s mood and, unable to resist, he returned her smile with a gentle one of his own.

What followed…

Bo Jingyan did as he said.

He promised to make up for all her past birthdays and he did indeed, grant her that.

All day, she was overwhelmed by the volume of gifts she was receiving.

And the gifts Bo Jingyan gave were all women’s favorites: perfumes, lipsticks, makeup…

They were all limited editions.

The kind that money can’t buy anymore.

Xia Qingtian, although not a materialistic person, is still a woman.

Loving beauty was her nature.

She loved the gifts he gave her.

Besides the gifts themselves, she also enjoyed the effort Bo Jingyan put into getting them.

So she was really happy today.

This was the happiest birthday she had ever had.

When it passed midnight, she felt a slight reluctance and a hint of loss.

Why did joyous days pass so quickly?

Bo Jingyan detected her reluctance.

“This year is just the beginning. From now on, I will be with you on every birthday.” He comforted her while stroking her soft hair.

Xia Qingtian’s eyes suddenly dimmed a tad bit.

She hoped that Bo Jingyan would never find out about her pregnancy and the events that transpired at the Imperial Hotel that night.

She wished that her life with Bo Jingyan would remain peaceful as it currently was.

In the next two days…

Xia Qingtian was in a state of distress.

Two days later, she was scheduled for a surgery to terminate her pregnancy.

Yet, she couldn’t find a perfect excuse to leave the Bo Family for a few days without meeting Bo Jingyan.

Just half an hour was enough for the surgery.

But after the surgery, her complexion and physical condition wouldn’t be very good.

Bo Jingyan was too shrewd.

Xia Qingtian didn’t dare to assure herself that she could deceive him.

The best solution would be to spend a few days at Apricot Forest Bay, where she could avoid running into Bo Jingyan.

Once she looked better, she could return.

But Bo Jingyan was very possessive.

Would he agree to it?

Or should…

She lie about going on a business trip for a few days?

Would Bo Jingyan believe it?

Would he ask the Gu Family for confirmation?

It would be easy for the lie to fall apart then.

Should…

She ask her senior to lie along with her?

But if Bo Jingyan ever found out about the whole thing, he would undoubtedly take it out on her senior.

Xia Qingtian was so bothered by this issue that she couldn’t eat or sleep, and her work was also full of errors.

She was correcting the errors in her contract…

When she suddenly received a message.

It was from the hospital.

Reminding her about tomorrow’s surgery time, and the precautions before the operation.

Seeing the message, Xia Qingtian felt like she was going to explode.

She still hadn’t figured out how to fool Bo Jingyan and avoid him during her surgery!

Wasn’t that like outing herself in front of Bo Jingyan?

The thought of Bo Jingyan staring at her with disgust…

Filled her with fear.

It was more intolerable than being dead.

Xia Qingtian felt desperate as she covered her face, unsure of where to go and what to do next.

She had never felt so lost and helpless before.

In the past, when she faced tough situations, she could confide in Chen Momo. Even if it couldn’t be resolved, speaking about it would be better than keeping it bottled up inside.

Now with their friendship strained, she didn’t even have anyone to confide in.

Xia Qingtian felt like she was on the verge of going mad.

She had no appetite at noon, so she didn’t join her colleagues for lunch, and continued to fix the errors she made today.

“Qingtian, how can you still be working on these documents?” One of her closer colleagues said with a disappointed look.

“What happened?” Xia Qingtian asked, confused.

“Your husband’s company got into trouble, it’s on the news.”

The colleague gave her her phone.

Bo Jingyan got into trouble?

Xia Qingtian snatched the phone from her colleague, terrified.

She quickly found out…

It turned out that the problem lay with Bo Group’s subsidiary, which was being sued by an overseas company for plagiarism.

The claim was for billions.

Xia Qingtian heaved a sigh of relief. Although, this matter had a large impact on Bo Group…

As long as Bo Jingyan was not in danger, that’s all that mattered.

Moreover, for these types of business disputes, she knew Bo Jingyan could handle it effectively.

Relieved, she returned the phone to her colleague.

Just as she was about to say something…

At that moment…

Xia Qingtian’s phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and was surprised to find that it was Bo Jingyan.

Without hesitating, she answered the call.

Her colleague noticed the caller ID and tactfully retreated.

After answering the call…

She learned that Bo Jingyan called to tell her about the problem with the subsidiary in B City.

He would need to go personally to manage it.

He’d be away for at least three to five days, maybe up to a week.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t believe her luck.

She’d been torturing herself about how she was going to hide her surgery from Bo Jingyan tomorrow.

Now, Bo Jingyan actually told her…

He had to go on a business trip, and wouldn’t be back for a while.

Isn’t her biggest problem then solved?
