Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Recalling the Past_1

Xia Qingtian had timed everything perfectly.

She had just paid for her purchase, coordinated with the vendor about the delivery time, and returned to the lounge. Just as she was about to catch her breath, Bo Jingyan returned with the sticky rice chicken he’d purchased.

Seeing Bo Jingyan, her heart rate quickened, and she instinctively asked, "Why did you come back so soon?"

If she had been a little slower, he might have caught her by surprise, ruining the surprise she had planned.

Bo Jingyan gave her a puzzled look, "You said you were hungry, didn’t you? Isn’t it better that I came back early?"

"No, no..." Xia Qingtian quickly took the sticky rice chicken from his hand and began to eat.

Originally this was just an excuse to distract Bo Jingyan, but the sticky rice chicken turned out to be unexpectedly delicious.

She had such an appetite that she ate all the sticky rice chicken.

After buying the goods, Bo Jingyan took Xia Qingtian back to the old house and then went to the company.

But before going to the company, he went to Bo’s old man and whispered a few words to him.

Bo’s old man immediately looked at Xia Qingtian, a subtle smile appearing in his eyes.

Xia Qingtian found his expression intriguing. Just as she was trying to discern what it meant, he had already retracted his gaze and nodded to Bo Jingyan.

And then, Bo Jingyan left.

Xia Qingtian was taken out for a walk by Bo’s old man.

Until she received a phone call.

It was the vendor from whom she had bought the massage chair. The chair had already been delivered to the address she provided.

Xia Qingtian immediately lost her mood to continue walking, returned to the old house with Bo’s old man, signed for the massage chair after verifying there were no problems, and had it moved into Bo Jingyan’s study.

When he went into his study late at night to work, he’d see it.

She wondered what expression he would have when he received this gift.

Just thinking about it, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but show an expectant smile.

At this time, Bo’s old man walked into the study from outside.

Seeing the silly smile on her face, he decided to tease her, so he put on an unhappy facade, "Qingqing, there’s only one massage chair. There’s not one for grandpa? Girls are indeed outward-focused, all you have in your heart is Jingyan."

At his words, Xia Qingtian suddenly felt a little guilty.

When she bought the chair, she only thought of Bo Jingyan and completely forgot about Bo’s old man.

"Grandpa, if you like it, I can buy one for you too," she quickly reassured.

Seeing her so serious, Bo’s old man was amused by her and laughed, "Grandpa was just teasing you. I couldn’t be happier to see your relationship with Jingyan so good now. How could I possibly blame you?"

Xia Qingtian saw that he didn’t seem to mind and finally let out a sigh of relief.

She held onto Bo’s old man’s arm and said with a hint of complaint, "Grandpa, you really scared me just now, I thought you were mad at me."

Bo’s old man affectionately patted her head, "No matter what you do, grandpa won’t be angry with you."

At this moment, Xia Qingtian truly felt very blessed.

She had a husband who loved her deeply, a healthy and lively child on the way, and such loving elders.

Although Bo’s old man said he didn’t need it, Xia Qingtian had already decided to give him a surprise as well, she just didn’t know what to give him yet.

With nothing else to do, Xia Qingtian and Bo’s old man started to tidy up Bo’s mother’s room, packing away some small items.

While tidying up the drawer, Bo’s old man suddenly found a few photo albums.

When he opened the album and saw the photos inside, his face showed a look of melancholy.

Xia Qingtian noticed his change in demeanor almost immediately.

"Grandpa, what’s wrong?" she asked worriedly.

Bo’s old man took her by the hand and sat down on the sofa, "Nothing, just stumbled upon an old album. When I think about the past, I feel that everything has changed and I feel a bit sentimental all of a sudden."

"What kind of photos?" Xia Qingtian sat down next to him, "Let’s look at them together."

"Sure," agreed Bo’s old man.

He carefully opened the album.

The protagonists in the photos were a remarkably handsome man and a beautiful woman.

Xia Qingtian almost immediately recognized them as Bo Jingyan’s parents, because Bo Jingyan looked very much like them, inheriting all their best features.

Sure enough, she was not wrong.

Bo’s old man pointed to the woman in the photo and introduced, "This is Jingyan’s mother, Xiaoqin."

Xia Qingtian hadn’t seen what Bo’s mother looked like now, but the woman in the photo was truly beautiful, even the phrase ’beauty that could ruin a kingdom’ wasn’t an exaggeration.

Even she, a woman, was stunned and couldn’t help but praise, "Jingyan’s mother is very beautiful."

"Not only was she beautiful, she was also a good person...." Bo’s old man sighed, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he involuntarily added, "It’s Jingyan’s father who was not fortunate enough to have her; he let her down."

By the end, his tone was marked with a hint of anger.

Xia Qingtian blinked in surprise.

He let her down?

What did that mean?

Didn’t Bo’s father die in a major series of car accidents, protecting his wife but succumbing to his severe injuries? His actions showed he was a responsible, loving man who cared for his wife and son. Why did grandpa say he let Bo’s mother down?

Could it be....

Was there something else about this?

"Grandpa...." Xia Qingtian was about to ask for clarification.

But Bo’s old man seemed to snap out of it, realizing he’d said something he shouldn’t have. He quickly changed the subject, "Come on, let’s continue looking."

With that, he picked up another album.

"Look, this was when Jingyan was young...." He pointed to the little boy in the album, "Before that incident, his mother loved to take photos of him."

When Xia Qingtian saw the photos of young Bo Jingyan, she immediately forgot about her doubts.

The little boy in the photos had a sunny and bright smile that melted her heart.

If it weren’t for Bo’s old man earnestly saying that the child in the photos was Bo Jingyan, and that his features were a proportional enlargement of his, she wouldn’t believe that the always smiling little boy was Bo Jingyan.

Because the cheerful little boy and the current Bo Jingyan, who was always expressionless and rarely spoke, were like two different people.

"Jingyan used to laugh a lot, but after the car accident, he became like this," said Bo’s old man with a touch of heartache.

Xia Qingtian also felt a hint of heartache.

As she looked through more of the photos, Xia Qingtian noticed that occasionally there was a little girl appearing next to Bo Jingyan.

Pointing to the little girl, she asked, "Grandpa, who is this...."
