Chapter 333: Chapter 333 - He is Jealous_1

At the end of Shi Qian’s words, the Bo matriarch seemed dissatisfied with her lingering to chat with Xia Qingtian and called her to return.

"Sister Qingtian, I’ll head back now." Speaking thus, she was about to return to the Bo matriarch’s side.

However, Xia Qingtian suddenly remembered something, stopping her. They exchanged contact information and she mentioned contacting her some other day to invite her for dinner.

Shi Qian agreed with a smile and left.

"Is she alright?" After Shi Qian returned, the Bo matriarch asked, her tone was somewhat husky, but she was unable to conceal her genuine concern.

A fleeting cunning shadow passed through Shi Qian’s eyes, swiftly returning back to her innocent and naive countenance, "Don’t worry, Bo’s mother. Sister Qingtian is alright."

The Bo matriarch’s face immediately softened by a few degrees.

"Let’s go..." Saying that, she guided Shi Qian back into the banquet hall.

Standing in place, Xia Qingtian spoke to Bo Jingyan, who was still on the line, "Jingyan, did you hear that? Mom is starting to care about me."

"Hmm, I heard." At seeing her happiness, Bo Jingyan’s mood was somewhat complex.

It seemed she truly craved for the approval of the Bo matriarch. He had to speed up the investigation to find out whether the woman that night was really Xia Qingtian. Combined with the results of the DNA parentage test, the Bo matriarch wouldn’t have any more doubts.

The issue between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would then exist no more.

Unaware of his thoughts, Xia Qingtian exchanged a few more words with him before hanging up and returning to the bustle of the banquet hall.

...

Over the next two days.

Xia Qingtian visited the seniors in the entertainment industry who had exchanged cards with her on the night of the charity event.

Unfortunately, the progress was not very smooth.

After finishing her business, she remembered she still had something left undone.

Shi Qian had helped her at the last banquet, she needed to thank her.

Xia Qingtian dialed Shi Qian and invited her to dinner.

Shi Qian was indecisive and seemed a bit embarrassed, but finally accepted.

After work, Xia Qingtian rushed to the restaurant.

At the doorway of the restaurant, she ran into Shi Qian.

"Sister Qingtian, did you come alone?" Upon seeing her, Shi Qian glanced behind her and asked.

Xia Qingtian’s expression dimmed somewhat.

What does she mean by her question?

Is she indirectly asking about Bo Jingyan?

Thinking of the words the Bo matriarch had said when they first met Shi Qian, her heart suddenly sank, but her face was as calm as though nothing had happened.

"Yes, I’m alone!"

She had thought that Shi Qian would display a disappointed expression.

Contrarily, she heaved a tremendous sigh of relief, "That’s really great, I was worried on my way here."

"Worried about what?" Xia Qingtian furrowed her brows in confusion.

While conversing, they had already stepped into the restaurant and found a spot to sit.

After drinking a glass of water, Shi Qian clutched her chest, her expression reflecting the fear she had staved off, "Of course, I was afraid that Bo Jingyan would come."

A hint of surprise flashed through Xia Qingtian’s eyes.

"You don’t want to see him?"

"Definitely..." Shi Qian appeared quite natural as she responded, "At my first glance, Bo Jingyan seemed fierce and difficult to get along with. Each time I see him, I feel immensely suffocated, daring not to speak for fear of angering him with a misplaced word."

Xia Qingtian thought of Bo Jingyan’s cold face and couldn’t help laughing.

"Actually, he only seems cold."

Shi Qian displayed a look of refusal, "Sister Qingtian, love is indeed blinding. Ordinary people wouldn’t think the same."

As they were conversing, the dishes were served, and the two chatted while eating.

Xia Qingtian found to her surprise that Shi Qian’s taste in food was quite similar to hers; they both enjoyed spicy dishes. Additionally, they shared some common hobbies.

This discovery narrowed the distance between the two women, reducing the tension and unfamiliarity.

Shi Qian seemed much more relaxed after that, conversing more openly.

Speaking of their first meeting, a look of sheepishness overtook her face, "Sister Qingtian, you wouldn’t believe it but that day at the hospital, when Bo mother joked about me and Bo Jingyan, I almost wanted to dig a hole and bury myself."

Upon her words, Xia Qingtian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Was it really that exaggerated?"

"Yes indeed..." Shi Qian nodded excitedly. "In short, Bo Jingyan is not my type at all. I actually prefer the gentle and cultured type. As for Bo Jingyan..."

She scrunched her face, "Such a man is cold and tough. It must be hard to communicate with him. He isn’t gentle or considerate, nor is he romantic, he’s boring. Dating him will be like communicating with a rock."

Although Bo Jingyan was cold, he was quite popular with the opposite sex. It was the first time Xia Qingtian had heard someone criticize him so intensely and found it very amusing.

She didn’t say anything; she only remained silent and listened to Shi Qian’s rants.

After Shiv Qian had passionately ranted for quite some time, she stopped, noticing the lack of response.

An apologetic expression surfaced on her face, "Sister Qingtian, sorry about that. I guess I said something wrong. No matter what, Bo Jingyan is your husband. He’s never offended me, so it seems quite inappropriate for me to defame him to his own wife."

"Also, if he learns about this, won’t he want to kill me?"

"Don’t worry, I won’t tell him about our conversation." Xia Qingtian joked with her.

In truth, Shi Qian had said a lot, but Xia Qingtian did not feel angry or offended. On the contrary, she was feeling rather reassured.

Although she didn’t mention it, she could not deceive herself.

She was still slightly bothered by the Bo matriarch’s obvious attempt to play matchmaker for Bo Jingyan and Shi Qian at the hospital.

Since the Bo matriarch did not particularly like her and also doubted that An’an was of the Bo’s lineage, her concern had only increased.

"Well, that’s good then." At hearing her words, Shi Qian heaved a sigh of relief.

She didn’t continue with the topic of Bo Jingyan. Instead, like a floodgate had been opened, she pulled out her phone and said enthusiastically, "Sister Qingtian, allow me to show you the man I like! Look, isn’t he super handsome?"

As she spoke, she handed her phone over to Xia Qingtian, like she was presenting a treasure.

Xia Qingtian looked closely at the man in the photo. He seemed familiar. Very soon, she recognized him as the newly crowned Best Actor, Xie Shen.

"I entered the entertainment industry because of him..." With that, Shi Qian spent the following 360 degrees of time devotedly praising Xie Shen, all her words were full of adoration, fully displaying how smitten she was with Xie Shen.

After they finished the meal and parted ways, Xia Qingtian’s mind was filled with nothing but Xie Shen.

That night, when Bo Jingyan saw her in a daze and asked what she was thinking about, she blurted out that she was thinking of Xie Shen.

Bo Jingyan’s face instantly darkened.
