Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Discovering the Truth_1

"No need to play pretend in front of me." A cold gaze suddenly flashed in Bo Jingyan’s deep-set eyes.

Immediately, Shi Qian recoiled in fear.

What did he mean by that?

Does Brother Jingyan know that she just implicated Xia Qingtian on purpose?

That’s impossible!

He was clearly on her side earlier, driving away Xia Qingtian.

Thinking about it, Shi Qian gulped, blinked her doubtful eyes, and asked, "Brother Jingyan, what do you mean by that? I wasn’t pretending."

Bo Jingyan slowly closed his eyelids, "Shi Qian, given that you saved my mother, I will let it go this time. But don’t think you can fool me again by falsely accusing Xia Qingtian."

Upon hearing this, Shi Qian widened her eyes, looking at him in shock.

She seemed unable to comprehend that he actually knew that she was framing Xia Qingtian.

She wanted to deny it instinctively, but she met Bo Jingyan’s penetrating gaze and didn’t dare to defend herself any further.

She knew Bo Jingyan wasn’t testing her—he was already convinced of the truth.

Shi Qian began to feel anxious.

She had to!

She must find a way to remove herself from this matter. While Bo Jingyan has memory loss, she must capture his heart without him knowing her manipulative side.

With that in mind, Shi Qian mustered up the courage. She quickly thought up an idea.

"Brother Jingyan, I didn’t want to do this either..." She blinked her eyes, making a difficult expression, "I was specifically instructed by Mrs. Bo. She was afraid that you would be deceived by Xia Qingtian again. She told me to prevent Xia Qingtian from seeing you."

"So, that’s why I resorted to such a plot."

After hearing her explanation, Bo Jingyan remained expressionless.

Shi Qian began to worry, unsure if he believed her. She changed the subject, "Mr. Bo, since you knew I was pretending, why did you stand by my side earlier?"

Xia Qingtian, who was eavesdropping outside the office, also held her breath.

She initially thought that Bo Jingyan was fooled by Shi Qian because of his memory loss. Only after returning with lunch and hearing their conversation did she realize that Bo Jingyan, even with his memory loss, was still the same cunning man who controlled everything.

At the same time, she was curious.

Since Bo Jingyan knew that Shi Qian was pretending, why did he help Shi Qian deceive her earlier.

The light in Bo Jingyan’s eyes flickered for a moment.

His siding with Shi Qian earlier was merely because he disliked the feeling of losing control around Xia Qingtian, leading him to act in inexplicable ways.

So, he decided to drive away Xia Qingtian with the help of Shi Qian.

However, all these were things that he did not need to explain to Shi Qian.

"That has nothing to do with you." Bo Jingyan spoke coldly, "Go back now, you’ve delivered the soup."

Shi Qian did not want to miss an opportunity to be with him.

However, she was just exposed for framing Xia Qingtian. Even though she had found a seemingly reasonable excuse, she still felt a bit guilty.

Reluctantly, she nodded her head, "Alright."

She took the soup pot and was ready to leave. Before leaving, she reminded him kindly, "Brother Jingyan, you’ve just been released from the hospital not long ago. Don’t overwork yourself and get enough rest. Don’t make Mrs. Bo and... "

She paused for a moment, "Don’t make Mrs. Bo and I worry about you."

Bo Jingyan did not respond to her as he returned to his desk to resume his work.

Shi Qian could only leave Bo Jingyan’s office, glancing back three times for each step she took.

Xia Qingtian quickly hid in Jian Xuan’s office before Shi Qian walked out.

After Shi Qian left, Xia Qingtian emerged from the office, deep in thought after overhearing the conversation.

She looked in Shi Qian’s direction, mulling over the discussion she heard outside the office. An understanding light flickered in her eyes.

She suspected that Bo Jingyan had only gone along with Shi Qian’s act to purposely anger her so he wouldn’t have to see her.

Xia Qingtian didn’t return to the office to expose him. Since he didn’t want to see her, she would fulfill his wish.

She wanted Bo Jingyan to come to her on his own accord.

So, Xia Qingtian found Jian Xuan and handed him the lunch. Under his puzzled gaze, she said, "Help me deliver this lunch to Bo Jingyan. If he doesn’t ask, don’t tell him it was made by me. If he asks anything else, tell him to ask me directly."

"Alright." Jian Xuan agreed.

Only then did Xia Qingtian happily leave the Bo Group.

...

When it was time for lunch.

Jian Xuan, as per Xia Qingtian’s instruction, brought the lunch to Bo Jingyan’s office.

"Mr. Bo, it’s time to eat."

Upon saying that, he took the lunch out of the thermos and placed it in front of Bo Jingyan.

After putting everything in its place and seeing that Bo Jingyan had no further instructions, he prepared to leave.

Just as he reached the door, he was suddenly halted.

"Stop!"

Jian Xuan halted, "Mr. Bo, is there anything else?"

Bo Jingyan put down his chopsticks, looked at him with a gloomy gaze, and asked, "Where did you get this meal?"

Despite his loss of taste, the food brought by Jian Xuan today surprisingly allowed him to savor a long-lost taste.

Recalling Xia Qingtian’s instruction, Jian Xuan immediately responded, "It was brought by the CEO’s wife."

"Xia Qingtian?" Bo Jingyan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes," Jian Xuan confirmed.

Thinking of Xia Qingtian, Bo Jingyan’s eyes darkened, "Find Xia Qingtian and ask her where this meal was bought from."

Remembering Xia Qingtian’s instruction, Jian Xuan immediately replied, "The CEO’s wife said if you have any questions, you should contact her directly."

Bo Jingyan suppressed his eyebrow, his slender fingers tapping the desktop. His eyes concealed a range of emotions.

Then, he waved his hand, "You can return to your work."

Soon, Bo Jingyan was left alone in his office.

With a complex expression, he finished every dish on the table.

After work that evening, Bo Jingyan hesitated before eventually dialing Xia Qingtian’s number.

The phone was quickly answered.

"Where are you?" he asked directly.

Xia Qingtian was not surprised to receive his call.

"I’m at home." Without beating around the bush, she answered his question sincerely.

"I’ll come see you. I’ll be there in half an hour..." Once done, Bo Jingyan hung up.

Knowing that Bo Jingyan will be coming over soon, Xia Qingtian handed over the baby, An’an, to the babysitter and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

She was making a simple home-cooked meal.

As soon as Bo Jingyan arrived, she had just finished the last dish.
