Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Heart-throbbing_1 Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Heart-throbbing_1 Upon seeing Bo Jingyan, Chen Momo clung to him as if he were a lifeline.

She fought desperately and snarled at Xia Qingtian. “You’re finished, Xia Qingtian. I’m going right up to Bo now to expose your wicked true colors.”

Hearing this, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but find it laughable.

“Alright then, go ahead.”

Instead of stopping Chen Momo, Xia Qingtian let her go and even encouraged her. “Go on, tell him about the spiked drink you gave me, and how you planned to disgrace me but ended up getting everything backfired on you.”

“Let’s see if Bo Jingyan will sympathize with you, curse me for being wicked, or see you as impossibly stupid.”

Chen Momo’s face turned pale as death, her body as stiff as a rock.

Her words were like a bucket of cold water dumped on Chen Momo’s head, engendering a snap back to reality.

No! She couldn’t let Bo know about her disgracing.

In front of Bo, she should always maintain the image of purity.

Seeing her on her knees, unmoving, Xia Qingtian prompted, “Didn’t you see Bo looking at you? Aren’t you going to tell him how wicked I am?”

At this point, Bo Jingyan had already walked up to them.

Seeing the contrasting expressions of the two women, he became even more intrigued.

With a firm tone, he uttered one word. “Speak.”

Out of fear that Xia Qingtian would reveal something inappropriate, Chen Momo swiftly grabbed her hand and preempted her. “Bo, yesterday Qingtian left something in the private room at the hotel. I came specifically to return it to her.”

Narrowing his eyes and knitting his brows, Bo Jingyan retorted, “Do you need to kneel to return something?”

“I’m not kneeling.” Chen Momo, feeling humiliated, had no choice but to explain as best she could.

“Although I can walk now, I still have some leftover effects. My legs suddenly went weak, which is why I unexpectedly knelt down. Qingtian was just trying to help me up.”

To confirm the authenticity of her words, she turned to Xia Qingtian, “Qingtian, aren’t I right?”

Xia Qingtian did not respond.

Chen Momo was worried she’d ruin her story. She squeezed Xia Qingtian’s hand tighter and threatened in a whisper only they could hear, “Xia Qingtian, if you dare expose me in front of Bo, then I’ll tell him that Shen Yaxuan is the real father of the baby in your womb. If I’m going down, you’re coming with me.”

Xia Qingtian declined to attack Chen Momo on the issue of a woman’s chastity, even if this woman was someone she detested as much as Chen Momo.

“Don’t worry, I’m not as tasteless as you.” Xia Qingtian replied, looking disdainful.

Finishing what she had to say, she turned to look at Bo Jingyan, nodded, and confirmed, “Yes, it’s as Chen Momo said.”

Bo Jingyan gazed deeply into Xia Qingtian’s eyes. His gaze flickered with an indecipherable emotion.

He didn’t dwell on the previous incident but simply said with some coldness, “If that’s the case, get up.”

Seeing that Bo Jingyan seemed to not doubt her any longer, Chen Momo finally sighed in relief.

But just as she was about to get up, a sudden thought struck her…

“Bo, I can’t seem to stand up right now, cause I’ve got no strength in my legs. Plus, Qingtian is pregnant and can’t help me up because of her condition. Could you please assist me?” She asked in a hopeful, yet humble tone.

Even before Bo Jingyan had a chance to respond, Chen Momo had already extended her hand towards him, clearly not expecting a negative answer.

“I can…” Without any hesitation, Bo Jingyan nodded.

The hint of wild joy flashing across Chen Momo’s face was unmistakable.

After Bo helped her get up, she could pretend to be unable to stand proper or walk, and then, she could propose that he carry her in his arms.

Thinking this, she felt a vague sense of relief in her tormented heart. She shot Xia Qingtian a challenging look.

Xia Qingtian, understanding the games Chen Momo was playing, felt a sense of unease.

She didn’t want Bo Jingyan to help Chen Momo, and so, she planned to intervene.

“Bo, you shouldn’t…”

She couldn’t finish her sentence as Bo Jingyan was already gesturing towards his driver.

Following his lead, the driver stepped out of the car.

Bo Jingyan pointed at Chen Momo and said, “Help Miss Chen up and then kindly drop her home.”

Without hesitation, the driver did as he was ordered.

Before Chen Momo could even react, she was hoisted up and into the car that promptly drove away.

As the evening breeze grew colder, Bo Jingyan felt a chill.

Swiftly, he removed his coat and draped it over Xia Qingtian’s shoulders, and with an arm around her waist, they walked into the villa together.

Xia Qingtian turned to look at Bo Jingyan’s flawless face. Recalling the shocked expression on Chen Momo’s face as she was carried away in the car, she couldn’t help but laugh. Love for him slowly welled up in her heart.

At that moment, Chen Momo finally understood what had happened.

She hurriedly looked through the back window of the car and saw the sight of the two walking together. Even though she could only see their backs, she could still feel the unmistakable air of intimacy around them. She compared this to the indifference Bo Jingyan showed towards her.

Chen Momo’s heart was riddled with holes left by jealousy.

How she hated Xia Qingtian.

She even started to resent Bo Jingyan.

Why was he so deeply in love with Xia Qingtian, yet reluctant to spare even a bit of affection for her?

…

Xia Qingtian brushed off the incident quickly because Bo Jingyan’s grandfather’s seventieth birthday was approaching.

Xia Qingtian returned to the old house with Bo Jingyan to discuss with his grandfather how they should celebrate his seventieth birthday.

Given how well Bo’s grandfather treated her, Xia Qingtian wanted to do something for him.

Considering Bo Jingyan was extremely busy and she was idle at home, she proposed to plan the celebration.

Bo’s grandfather was reluctant to let Xia Qingtian work too hard.

However, she insisted and assured him that she could ask for his help if she was overwhelmed.

When she promised not to tire herself out, Bo’s grandfather finally agreed.

That evening, the couple stayed in the old house and had dinner with Bo’s grandfather.

Midway through the meal, Zhang Bo came over to them and told Bo’s grandfather, “Sir, the Madame has called.”

As he heard the news, Bo’s grandfather looked over at Bo Jingyan without thinking.

Bo Jingyan seemed not to hear Zhang Bo at all, and continued eating calmly and elegantly. He even found the time to offer Xia Qingtian a piece of rib.

“Jingyan, you…” Seeing this, the grandfather’s gaze darkened, and he was about to say something.
