The CEO’s Unkown Wife
Chapter 189 - 189 189 How to Confess_1

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: How to Confess_1 Chapter 189: Chapter 189: How to Confess_1 Shen Yaxuan recalled the results of his investigation, unwilling to believe her words.

He looked earnestly at Xia Qingtian, “Qingtian, stop hiding it from me. I know you’re not living well.”

“I also know that you really want to leave A City, to leave Bo Jingyan. But, he has managed to drag you back.”

“How did you know? Did you investigate me?” Xia Qingtian shot a sharp glance at him.

Given Bo Jingyan’s character, he wouldn’t have blabbed about this. Without intentional inquiry, there’s no way to know about it.

“How I came to know is not important, what is important is, I want to help you.” Shen Yaxuan looked at her, sincerity and warmth in his gaze.

“I can take you to a place where no one knows you, and where even Jingyan can’t find you. Letting you start a new life.”

“No need!” Without a second thought, Xia Qingtian rejected, “I don’t want to see you, and even more don’t want to have any relation with you.”

Never wanted to before, never want to now, will never want in the future!

Shen Yaxuan’s expression suddenly turned gloomy, even though he knew long before that Xia Qingtian doesn’t like him.

Still, his heart ached.

He chuckled bitterly, “I know you detest me, rest assured, I just want to help you. I don’t want anything from you.”

“After I get you somewhere safe, if you don’t want me to, I can pretend as if I don’t know where you are. I won’t find you for the rest of my life, nor appear before you.”

“I just want to protect you, atone for the events of that night…”

Xia Qingtian was momentarily stunned, just as she was about to say something, when suddenly…

The door to the hospital room was pushed open.

“What are you talking about?” A chilling voice rang out.

Xia Qingtian turned her head to look, only to find that it was…

He had returned from making the call.

Xia Qingtian’s body stiffened, and she subconsciously responded, “No, nothing…”

She didn’t want Bo Jingyan to know about her relationship with Shen Yaxuan.

Bo Jingyan watched them indifferently, a hint of probing flashed in his dark eyes, “Really?”

“Why did I seem to hear Yaxuan mention something about atoning? Atoning for what?”

Xia Qingtian’s breathing suddenly quickened, unable to come up with a reasonable explanation for a moment.

What should she do now?

Should she be honest with Bo Jingyan?

Just the thought of it made her scared, and a cold sweat formed on her forehead.

“Why aren’t you speaking?” There was a hint of suspicion in Bo Jingyan’s eyes, “Could it be you two have some secrets I don’t know about?”

By the end, his voice was laced with chilling determination.

“I…” Xia Qingtian bit her lip, her whole body as rigid as the sculpture.

Seeing her this scared, Shen Yaxuan felt a pang of distress.

It made him believe even more in Chen Momo’s words that Bo Jingyan wasn’t truly loving her or being nice to her.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be this scared right now.

Shen Yaxuan’s resolve to take her away from Bo Jingyan hardened further.

But, now wasn’t the time to think about this.

He couldn’t bear to see Xia Qingtian in such distress, so he chuckled lightly and answered, “What could we possibly be hiding from you? I was just asking her, who caused her injury and hospitalization, so that I could bring them here to atone to her!”

“And then Qingtian was hesitant to answer, since you’re here, it would be better for me to ask you directly.”

“Is that so?” Bo Jingyan looked towards Xia Qingtian, questioning.

Xia Qingtian didn’t want to lie anymore.

But at this moment, she had no other choice.

“Yes, that’s exactly it!” Her expression was somewhat stiff as she nodded.

Bo Jingyan retracted his gaze from Xia Qingtian, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

He said to Shen Yaxuan, “I’ve already taken care of it, you needn’t interfere anymore.”

“I wanted to help you solve the problem, but you ungrateful…” Shen Yaxuan nonchalantly sat down, “I won’t interfere then.”

Bo Jingyan didn’t continue on this topic and instead asked, “What about the situation with your company? Has it been resolved?”

“Mmm…” Shen Yaxuan nodded.

Following this, both of them began to discuss the matters of their companies.

Xia Qingtian knew she had passed this hurdle.

She let out a huge sigh of relief and subtly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Even though Bo Jingyan was conversing with Shen Yaxuan, he didn’t miss anything Xia Qingtian did.

After a few more words, Shen Yaxuan didn’t stay any longer.

Before leaving, he looked meaningfully at Xia Qingtian, “Qingtian, if you change your mind and decide to make people who hurt you pay, you can find me anytime. I will help you.”

Xia Qingtian’s complexion changed, she didn’t expect him to be so bold, to dare say such things in front of Bo Jingyan.

She dared not say more, fearing she might give herself away, she could only nod vaguely, “I understand.”

Only then did Shen Yaxuan leave contentedly.

Xia Qingtian somewhat didn’t dare to face Bo Jingyan. She used an excuse that she felt tired and wanted to rest. She directly lied down.

Bo Jingyan didn’t say anything.

Xia Qingtian initially only wanted to use an excuse to avoid him.

She didn’t expect she would actually fall asleep.

Bo Jingyan sat in the hospital room, looking at Xia Qingtian’s peaceful sleeping face with a gloomy gaze.

Thinking about the conversation he had faintly heard when he came back to the room, and the strange ever-changing expressions of Xia Qingtian.

And Shen Yaxuan’s superfluous comment right before leaving.

Suspicion flashed in his eyes, he felt that the two of them seemed to be hiding something from him.

Thinking of this, Bo Jingyan walked out of the room, pulled out his phone and dialed a number, “Help me investigate something…”

…

Xia Qingtian had been recuperating in the hospital for two more days before being discharged.

She did not forget that the reason why the child in her stomach was saved was all thanks to Bo Jingyan who had sought the best obstetrician for her.

She cannot act as if nothing has happened, so she decided to show him her gratitude.

He had wealth, power, and status, seemingly lacking in nothing.

The only thing she could offer would be the calibre of her cooking that Bo Jingyan found acceptable.

Finally, Xia Qingtian decided to cook some of the signature dishes that the head chef of Banqiu Mountain Restaurant taught her to show her gratitude.

The matter was settled.

The next day.

Xia Qingtian got up early and prepared to buy the freshest ingredients.

As Bo Jingyan returned from his morning run, he bumped into her.

Seeing her heading out, his face immediately turned cold, and he asked icily, “Where are you going?”

This damned woman, she isn’t planning on fleeing again, is she?

Xia Qingtian was well aware of her past record.

She quickly explained, “Thanks to you, the child in my stomach was saved. So, I’m planning to cook the signature dishes of Banqiu Mountain Restaurant for you. But I don’t have enough ingredients at home, so I’m going to the supermarket to buy more.”

Bo Jingyan’s expression softened a bit upon hearing this.

“I’ll accompany you…” He offered.
