Chapter 399: Chapter 399 He Can’t Bear to Leave Her_1

At first, nobody answered the phone.

Xia Qingtian kept dialing relentlessly from the bar.

In the end, it seemed that Bo Jingyan, completely vexed by her, was left with no choice but to pick up the call. He asked coldly, "What is it?"

Sensing the chill in his voice, Xia Qingtian immediately felt slighted, "Bo Jingyan, I’m drunk, at a bar. Can you come pick me up?"

After speaking, she gave Bo Jingyan the address of the bar.

"Your drunkenness is your problem, not mine," Bo Jingyan responded with a notable permafrost in his tone.

"Jingyan, you..."

Just as Xia Qingtian was about to utter some more words, Bo Jingyan did not grant her the opportunity and hung up the phone straightaway.

Hearing the busy tone in the phone, her heart immediately grew heavy.

After hanging up the phone, her eyes started to turn a little red again.

Seeing her distraught, Huo Qilin tried to comfort her, but he didn’t know what to say. He felt that a half-hearted consolation was probably not what she needed right now.

After hesitating for a while, he pushed a cocktail towards Xia Qingtian on the table.

"If you want to drink, do it without reservations. If you get drunk, I’ll ensure you get home safely," He promised Xia Qingtian.

Not standing on ceremony, Xia Qingtian picked up the glass and started drinking.

Huo Qilin kept his promise and didn’t dissuade her, letting her drink to her heart’s content.

But after drinking for a while, Xia Qingtian still felt an unbearable heaviness in her heart. The idea that alcohol could heal aching hearts seemed to be a flat-out lie to her. She felt like it made no sense to keep drinking like this.

"I’m done drinking." She jumped down from the bar stool, intending to leave.

However, she had had too much to drink and immediately stumbled as soon as her feet touched the ground, nearly falling over. Thankfully, Huo Qilin swiftly reached out and steadied her.

Seeing that she could hardly stand, Huo Qilin had no choice but to support her by wrapping his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his embrace.

"Slow down..." He tried to conceal his concern as he spoke, "Can you walk by yourself? If not, I can carry you."

"I can..." Xia Qingtian was about to assert that she could, when suddenly...

She felt a strong pull on her arm and was yanked into a solid embrace, making her already spinning head feel even dizzier.

Huo Qilin watched as the woman in his arms was snatched away, an instant hostility flashing in his eyes, "Let her go. Hand her back to me."

Bo Jingyan looked at the woman in front of him, who displayed no sense of danger, drunk as a skunk. A grim shadow flashed across his profound eyes.

Meanwhile, his hand that was holding Xia Qingtian tightened with possessiveness.

Then, he turned his gaze to Huo Qilin, his voice carrying an overtone of domineering warning, "She’s my woman, rightfully Mrs. Bo. Who the hell are you?"

Only then did Huo Qilin clearly see Bo Jingyan’s face. So...

He was the man whom Xia Qingtian deeply loved.

Thinking of Xia Qingtian’s pain and distress because of him, and faced with Bo Jingyan’s aggressiveness, he didn’t back down at all.

"Xia Qingtian is a virtuous woman. If you don’t cherish her, there are plenty of other men ready to give her the love she deserves," he was implicit in his threat.

Bo Jingyan’s usual emotionless face turned taut.

"You have feelings for her?" He asked, even though there was certainty in his tone.

Huo Qilin didn’t plan to hide his feelings for Xia Qingtian.

"Yes..." At that moment, he was combative, and his voice was filled with aggression, "I really like her, so if you don’t cherish her, I will snatch her away."

Bo Jingyan sneered angrily, "I’d like to see you try!"

"We’ll see," Huo Qilin laughed coldly.

Then, he turned to Xia Qingtian, "Xia Qingtian, it’s late, I’ll call it a day first."

He did not pry Xia Qingtian away from Bo Jingyan’s embrace because he knew that if Xia Qingtian was sober, she would undoubtedly want to leave with Bo Jingyan.

With that thought, Huo Qilin left straightforwardly.

Bo Jingyan watched his retreating figure with a somber gaze.

Xia Qingtian, thoroughly drunk, finally recognized the man holding her was Bo Jingyan.

On recognizing Bo Jingyan, she broke into a foolish grin.

"Jingyan, you finally came." She belched and wrapped her hands around his waist, looking at him affectionately while tilting her head back.

Bo Jingyan watched the woman in his arms, who gazed at him with clear eyes that reflected his figure as if he were her entire world, her whole heart filled with only him.

However, he didn’t forget what he saw when he first came in - she was embraced by Huo Qilin.

If he hadn’t made it on time, where would they have gone?

What would they have done?

Recalling what he had heard about her being a flirtatious woman who had a penchant for luring in men, and that his falling out with his good friend Shen Yaxuan was instigated by Xia Qingtian, according to the information he had gathered.

Bo Jingyan’s expression immediately turned frosty, and he pushed Xia Qingtian away roughly, "Don’t touch me, I find it repulsive."

Caught off guard, Xia Qingtian almost fell over, but she quickly caught herself by grabbing the bar counter behind her.

With no clue as to what had transpired, she could only stare at Bo Jingyan in confusion, "What’s the matter?"

Bo Jingyan was filled with unease but ignored her, and promptly strode out the door.

The rain outside hadn’t stopped, the cold drops hitting Bo Jingyan’s face as if damping the discomfort within him.

Thinking of Xia Qingtian drunk and helpless, he knew he couldn’t just leave her to her own devices lest something happen to her.

He cursed under his breath and once again returned to the bar, bending down to scoop up the drunken woman.

Xia Qingtian sluggishly wrapped her arms around his neck and nuzzled into his neck, "Bo Jingyan, I knew you couldn’t bear to leave me, and wouldn’t abandon me."

After saying that, she laughed triumphantly.

Bo Jingyan gritted his teeth, but refrained from rebutting.

Because the damned woman was right. He knew only too well that his grandfather’s death was connected to her.

He also knew all too well that she was a loose woman, adept at seducing men. Despite not wanting to be involved with her and her problems when she called, he had even harshly told her off and coldly hung up the phone.

Yet after hanging up, he couldn’t concentrate on his work and couldn’t stop thinking about her.

Worried that she was really drunk and could encounter some danger at the bar.

By the time he realized it, he had already started his car and was en route to the bar.

Whenever this woman came into his line of sight, he would turn into someone he didn’t recognize.

At this thought, Bo Jingyan’s already bad mood worsened even more.

Eventually, he didn’t bother with Xia Qingtian, rudely threw her into the car, and buckled her seatbelt for her.
