The CEO’s Unkown Wife
Chapter 387 She was fooled_1

But Jian Xuan was tight-lipped, refusing to spill no matter how much she prodded.

She was frustrated, but there wasn’t much she could do given the distance between them. The only thing she could do was insist that if he made contact with Bo Jingyan, he should have Bo Jingyan call her or at least send her a message.

Only after Jian Xuan agreed did Xia Qingtian grudgingly hang up the phone.

...

One day.

A music producer Xia Qingtian had previously collaborated with was hospitalized due to a car accident.

She promptly went to the hospital with Huo Qilin, bringing a bouquet of flowers and a basket of fruit, to visit and reconnect. This way, if there were any great music resources in the future, the producer would consider Huo Qilin.

After visiting the producer, they were preparing to leave the hospital.

While in the elevator she saw a familiar figure just as the doors were closing — was it...

"Jian Xuan?" she called out tentatively.

Hearing her call, the figure instinctively turned around and looked back.

This time, Xia Qingtian got a clear look. It was Jian Xuan.

Jian Xuan appeared to be startled. He looked flustered for a moment before turning and running away.

Upon witnessing this, Huo Qilin instinctively held the closing elevator door.

The elevator doors reopened again.

Xia Qingtian was about to pursue him, but being in high heels, not only was she slow, but also she almost twisted her ankle.

Thankfully, Huo Qilin caught her in time.

Seeing her intent to chase after the man who’d just run off, Huo Qilin suggested, "Don’t run anymore. Wait for me in the garden downstairs, I’ll chase after him for you."

After making sure Xia Qingtian was steady on her feet, he let go of her and took off towards the direction Jian Xuan had run, like a released arrow.

Knowing she wouldn’t be able to catch up with Jian Xuan, Xia Qingtian decided to give her feet a rest. She went straight to the garden downstairs, found a spot to sit, and rubbed her furrowed brow.

Why did Jian Xuan suddenly return to the country?

Just yesterday, she had been in contact with Jian Xuan, but he never mentioned anything about returning to the country.

If he returned, what about Bo Jingyan?

Did he also come back?

If he came back, why didn’t he contact her? And why didn’t anyone inform her?

And why did Jian Xuan just run off?

All these questions lingered in Xia Qingtian’s mind, reigniting her unease. This time around, she couldn’t suppress it no matter how hard she tried.

Before long, Jian Xuan was brought over by Huo Qilin.

Xia Qingtian had not expected that Huo Qilin would actually manage to bring him back.

She had already been considering what to do if Jian Xuan managed to escape this time.

Thankfully, Huo Qilin proved reliable.

"Start talking..." Xia Qingtian indicated for Huo Qilin to let go of Jian Xuan, and then quietly looked at him, "When did you come back to the country? Why did you hide it from me? Where is Jingyan?"

Jian Xuan was rubbing his arm that had been roughly gripped.

Upon hearing Xia Qingtian’s questions, his gaze flickered. "I had to return alone because our business abroad is not sorted out yet. Bo Jingyan is still overseas," he replied.

Xia Qingtian’s face turned cold. "Jian Xuan, do you think I’m a fool? As Bo Jingyan’s assistant, there’s no way you would leave him alone in a foreign country and run back by yourself. Particularly because I’ve been following the Bo Group’s news and know that the situation has been quite balanced lately. There’s no pressing matter that would require you to abandon your duties as the chief assistant and return to your home country."

Jian Xuan opened his mouth but nothing came out.

He had intended to use work issues as an excuse, but now he’d been effectively silenced. For now, he couldn’t come up with a new reason.

Thus he chose to remain silent.

"What, no reply?" Xia Qingtian’s complexion washed out. "Did something happen to Jingyan?"

Otherwise, why would Jian Xuan be in a hospital? He didn’t appear injured or sick.

The only explanation was that the person in the hospital was Bo Jingyan.

And that would explain why she hadn’t been able to contact him for some time.

The more Xia Qingtian pondered, the more plausible it seemed.

Jian Xuan’s face slightly altered, but he remained silent.

Xia Qingtian didn’t miss the changes in his expression. Now, she was ninety percent certain that the person in the hospital was Bo Jingyan.

But Jian Xuan wouldn’t say another word.

She didn’t know how serious Bo Jingyan’s injuries were.

Just thinking about Bo Jingyan being injured made her heart clench.

"You won’t speak, huh? Then I’ll look for him myself. I’m sure he’d be in the VIP ward if he’s injured. The hospital only has two floors of VIP wards. If I have to, I’ll search each room until I find him," Xia Qingtian declared as she stood up, preparing to comb through the wards.

Jian Xuan knew she made a valid point and that he couldn’t keep this from her any longer.

"Madam, let me tell you..." he said wearily.

Xia Qingtian halted, turned around to look at him, and urged, "Now you can speak. I’m losing patience, hurry up..."

"Indeed, Bo Jingyan is hurt..." Jian Xuan told her everything.

Xia Qingtian only then found out that Bo Jingyan had been attacked by an unidentified person not long after they arrived overseas.

Before he fell unconscious, Bo Jingyan had instructed Jian Xuan not to tell Xia Qingtian about his injuries to avoid worrying her.

Originally, Bo Jingyan was being treated overseas but due to unknown reasons, he remained unconscious and the overseas hospital was helpless.

Jian Xuan waited for a few days overseas, but Bo Jingyan still didn’t wake up. Meanwhile, the attacker hadn’t been caught. In fear of the attacker striking again, Jian Xuan brought the still unconscious Bo Jingyan back home for treatment.

After all, A City was their territory. Anyone intending harm to Bo Jingyan wouldn’t easily succeed.

After hearing the full story, Xia Qingtian understood why she hadn’t been able to contact Bo Jingyan recently.

She was now filled with guilt.

Lately, she had been focusing all her energy on the entertainment company, neglecting Bo Jingyan in the process.

During this time, she hadn’t been able to get in contact with him and had naively believed Jian Xuan’s unconvincing lies, neglecting the severity of the situation.

Only now, did she accidentally find out that Bo Jingyan was, in fact, injured.

Xia Qingtian forced down all her emotions. Her voice quaking, she asked, "So, he’s still in a coma, isn’t he?"

Had Bo Jingyan awoken, he surely wouldn’t have been able to resist seeing her.
