Chapter 204 - 204 204 One Move Short in Chess_1

Chapter 204: Chapter 204: One Move Short in Chess_1 Chapter 204: Chapter 204: One Move Short in Chess_1 Even drunk, Shen Yaxuan felt bitterness overflow in his heart the moment the conversation turned to that past event, like chewing on a bitter slice of sophora root.

He gave a bitter smile, “Huh, that night… I wish it were me being the man of that night. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. It was Jingyan!”

The more Shen Yaxuan spoke, the softer and more ambiguous his voice became.

Xia Qingtian didn’t catch what he said clearly.

“Shen Yaxuan, speak louder, say it again!” she leaned in closer, practically pressing her ear to Shen Yaxuan’s mouth just so she could find the answer.

“The man of that night… wasn’t me…” Shen Yaxuan responded.

And at that very moment.

The door to the private booth was thrown open.

The door crashed into the wall, creating a loud noise, successfully silencing Shen Yaxuan’s voice.

Xia Qingtian, whose mind was on high alert, jumped in fright.

She irritatedly looked at the door, wanting to find out who was responsible for spoiling her plan, and…

Immediately, she felt her blood rush in the opposite direction when she saw who was standing at the door, it was…

Bo Jingyan!!!

She panicked and tried to stand up, but stepped on an empty wine bottle instead. Not only did she not manage to rise, she ended up falling into Shen Yaxuan’s arms.

Bo Jingyan watching this scene had a chilling aura emanating from his deep-set eyes.

Xia Qingtian shivered and stood up as quickly as she could. She gingerly avoided the empty wine bottles on the floor and created some distance from Shen Yaxuan.

“Bo… Bo Jingyan, I…” She immediately attempted an explanation, assuring him it was all a misunderstanding.

Before she could finish, her words were interrupted by a weak, trembling voice.

“Qingtian, you are married to Bo Jingyan, you should be more restrained. Even if you are lacking companionship, you should know not to set your sights on Shen Yaxuan, who is Bo Jingyan’s close friend.”

Xia Qingtian fixed her gaze on the speaker and saw that it was Chen Momo.

She was close behind Bo Jingyan, pushing her wheelchair.

“Chen Momo, don’t spread lies…” Xia Qingtian looked enraged, her gaze was cold as ice as she looked at Chen Momo.

Chen Momo immediately acted scared and huddled closer to Bo Jingyan for protection.

“You know better than anyone if I’m lying. Even when you were in school, you enjoyed flirting with boys, keeping backups. Now you are married, you haven’t changed one bit!”

Chen Momo’s utter lies were infuriating, to the point where Xia Qingtian wanted to rip her mouth apart.

“Chen Momo, when have I ever flirted with other boys or kept backups? If you dare to falsely accuse me again, you will regret it!” She threatened fiercely, with a frosty look on her face.

“Humph, if you had behaved appropriately and not been constantly searching for other men, how could you be carrying another man’s child?” Chen Momo retorted coldly.

Xia Qingtian clenched her fists so tight that her nails dug into her palms, causing throbbing pain.

How did the child inside her come to exist?

She wanted to know too.

If Bo Jingyan and Chen Momo had arrived a little later, she would already know whether it was Shen Yaxuan or Bo Jingyan who was the man that night.

But unfortunately, they had ruined the moment.

“Nothing to say, huh?”

Chen Momo saw Xia Qingtian’s silence and gloated, “Xia Qingtian, despite being treated so well by Bo Jingyan, you dare to come on to his best friend. How could you do this to him…”

“Shut your mouth!!!”

Bo Jingyan coldly interrupted her.

Chen Momo was not pleased. She had so much more to say about Xia Qingtian…

But, she dared not to defy Bo Jingyan’s wishes so she obediently closed her mouth.

Xia Qingtian witnessed the entire scene, her eyes sparkled like a night sky full of stars as she turned her hopeful eyes towards Bo Jingyan, “You believe me, right?”

Otherwise, why would he interrupt Chen Momo?

Bo Jingyan showed no emotion as his enigmatic eyes hid conflicting emotions, making his thoughts unreadable.

He didn’t confirm or deny if he believed Xia Qingtian’s words, instead, he said curtly, “Explain!”

Xia Qingtian fell silent.

Seeing this, Bo Jingyan’s eyes grew colder, he pressed on, “Aren’t you supposed be at home with grandfather?”

“Why are you here at a bar? And why with Yaxuan?”

Xia Qingtian opened her mouth to explain.

But, what could she say?

Could she admit that she was investigating whether Shen Yaxuan is the biological father of her unborn child?

If her hypothesis was incorrect, and Shen Yaxuan was not lying; that he indeed was the man that night, and not Bo Jingyan, then her actions would only be seen as a confession.

She dared not let Bo Jingyan know about what happened between her and Shen Yaxuan.

Moreover, now that Chen Momo accused her of seducing Shen Yaxuan was here; if she told the truth, Chen Momo would certainly take the opportunity to turn the tables even more against her.

At that point, she could not clear her name, even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

So, she chose to remain silent.

“Bo Jingyan, you’ve already given her a chance to explain, yet she remains silent. This verifies that all I’ve said was true. She is indeed trying to seduce Shen Yaxuan.” Chen Momo seized the opportunity, whispering this to Bo Jingyan.

Bo Jingyan glanced at her coldly.

Chen Momo pouted but did not dare to say anything more.

Upon smelling the strong aroma of alcohol, Bo Jingyan’s expression darkened. He looked at Xia Qingtian and commanded, “Time to go home.”

After saying this, he turned to exit the room.

“Xia Qingtian, you’re in deep trouble!” Chen Momo provoked with a smug look and headed out of the room in pursuit of Bo Jingyan.

Xia Qingtian watched Bo Jingyan’s retreating figure and turned her gaze back to Shen Yaxuan who was passed out on the couch. Her eyes reflected her internal struggle.

She was this close to finding out whether Bo Jingyan or Shen Yaxuan is the biological father of the baby in her stomach.

Could she just give up now?

All she had to do now was shake Shen Yaxuan awake and ask him the same question to know the truth!

The more Xia Qingtian thought of it, the more tempted she became.

“Shen Yaxuan…” She started, but couldn’t wake him up before…

Suddenly, footsteps were heard again from the entrance.

Following that was a voice cold enough to freeze one’s blood, “Xia Qingtian, are you asking for it?”

It turned out Bo Jingyan had returned, having noticed that Xia Qingtian did not follow him out.

The sight of Xia Qingtian refusing to leave Shen Yaxuan’s side hinted a glimmer of malice in Bo Jingyan’s eyes.

Was she really that unwilling to part with Shen Yaxuan?

Xia Qingtian was reluctant to give up the chance to uncover the truth.

She had to figure out the truth whether Shen Yaxuan was lying.

Who was the man of that fateful night, Shen Yaxuan or Bo Jingyan!!!
