Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Saying One Thing But Meaning Another_1

"You’re good to go."

After what seemed like an eternal wait, Xia Qingtian finally heard the sweet sound of those three words.

And it meant her torment had finally come to an end.

By the time the doctor’s hand removed from her ankle, Xia Qingtian’s body had already been drenched in a cold sweat, making her feel like she had just been fished out of the water.

Her ankle, which was already swollen, was now as bloated as a pig’s trotter, it was not a sight to behold.

The doctor calmly told her, "This is normal. Take a day off to rest well. Tomorrow morning, I guarantee you won’t have any problems. You won’t even need to take any medication."

Xia Qingtian thought, since Bo Jingyan had brought her to this place, it should be trustworthy.

If the doctor said so, then her foot should be healed by tomorrow.

Otherwise, it would be a great disservice to the torment she had just undergone.

"Okay, thank you, doctor." Xia Qingtian expressed her gratitude.

The two of them left the clinic and got into the car to go home.

For selfish reasons, Xia Qingtian held Bo Jingyan’s hand tightly and refused to let it go.

Bo Jingyan, on the other hand, seemed to have forgotten this and didn’t shake off her hand.

She looked at their interlocking hands, stole a giggle and her heart was filled with a sweet surge of warmth and satisfaction, as if she had consumed honey.

Suddenly, her cell phone began to ring.

Xia Qingtian pulled it out with her free hand. The caller ID displayed Huo Qilin’s name.

Unsure of the situation on Huo Qilin’s end, she didn’t hesitate and answered the call.

"Is your foot alright?" The moment she answered, Huo Qilin’s voice came through, laced with a tint of concern.

Xia Qingtian glanced instinctively at her ankle that was swollen like a steamed bun, and thought of the inhuman torture she had just endured at the clinic, causing her to shudder involuntarily.

However, she didn’t mention any of this to Huo Qilin. Instead, she replied lightly, "I’m fine. How’s the situation on your end?"

"I’m already at the company." Huo Qilin replied.

When she heard that, Xia Qingtian felt relieved. She was about to say something when...

Bo Jingyan, as if suddenly remembering they were still holding hands, ruthlessly shook off her hand.

Gazing at her empty hand, she felt as if her heart was momentarily empty as well.

Keeping in mind that she was still on the phone with Huo Qilin, she didn’t say anything but focused her attention on the conversation, saying to the person on the other end, "You can leave the office early today to rest, if you don’t have any other work."

As she said this, she thought about the obsessive fans she had encountered today and reminded him out of concern, "When you leave the office today, please be extra careful."

"Forget it, I’ll have someone to send you home. I worry about you being alone."

She feared the obsessive fans might follow and would cause trouble once they got to know his living address.

Huo Qilin chuckled and replied softly, "Okay."

After hanging up the call, Xia Qingtian made another call to arrange someone to escort Huo Qilin home safely.

Only after organizing everything did she turn her attention back to Bo Jingyan.

Bo Jingyan was sitting upright with an emotionless look on his face. It was impossible to discern what he was thinking.

However, for some inexplicable reason, Xia Qingtian felt that his current mood did not seem very good.

Why might that be?

Wasn’t everything just fine?

"What’s wrong?" Unable to control her curiosity, Xia Qingtian reached out to poke his hand with her finger.

He removed his hand without any expression on his face.

Unyielding, Xia Qingtian poked his arm, shoulder, chest, and almost his seductive Adam’s apple.

Eventually, Bo Jingyan, unable to bear it anymore, held her hand forcefully.

"That’s enough!" He warned in a somewhat hoarse voice.

Xia Qingtian, her hand gripped by him, did not struggle. She simply tilted her head and asked him, "Then could you tell me what’s wrong? Why did you start feeling upset all of a sudden?"

With his dark eyes staring intensely at her, Bo Jingyan displayed an unfathomable expression.

"So what? Isn’t Huo Qilin enough for you to care about? Now you’re also minding my business?" He replied, a hint of derision in his tone.

Xia Qingtian felt that there was something off about him since the moment they met earlier in the day.

Furthermore, why would he mention Huo Qilin in their conversation?

All of a sudden, a thought flashed through Xia Qingtian’s mind. She looked at Bo Jingyan incredulously.

Could it be...

He was... jealous?

Pondering this, Xia Qingtian watched him intently, "Bo Jingyan... are you... jealous?"

"No!" Bo Jingyan denied sharply, frowning.

Xia Qingtian looked at him, smiling and continuing her interrogation, "If you’re not jealous, then could you tell me why you suddenly became unhappy? Could it be because of the call I had with Huo Qilin just now?"

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Previously, Bo Jingyan seemed to have forgotten and allowed her to hold his hand.

But the moment she received a call from Huo Qilin, he immediately let go of her hand. And he says he’s not jealous?

"I was just thinking about some business matters," Bo Jingyan responded, still denying it.

Xia Qingtian was set in her belief, "Okay, I believe you."

Despite what she said, she still explained, "Bo Jingyan, I’m married and have a child, An’an. I love my husband and An’an, I can’t possibly like other men."

"Huo Qilin is just my client. He works for me, earns money for me, helps me clear my mother-in-law’s prejudice, earns her acceptance, so I won’t burden you with having to mediate between us."

Finally, she looked at Bo Jingyan with a serious expression and said, "Bo Jingyan, I love you. I love you and you alone."

"That has nothing to do with me," Bo Jingyan replied coldly.

However, the cold aura around him was visibly warming up.

Xia Qingtian inwardly grinned.

Despite Bo Jingyan’s denial, it was hard to convince her that he really didn’t care.

Why had Bo Jingyan, after losing his memory, become so hard to get along with?

Regardless of how he changes, she would continue to love him unconditionally.

Xia Qingtian was in a very good mood at the moment, so she chose not to expose him, changing the topic instead. "By the way, I haven’t asked, how come you were at the shopping mall all of a sudden?"

Upon hearing this question, Bo Jingyan’s body stiffened.

He had come specifically to look for Xia Qingtian.

In the past, Xia Qingtian used to deliver lunch to him punctually every day, even if she couldn’t, someone else would. By lunch time, he would always have a meal waiting.

However, today he waited for a long time but no one came. He neither saw her nor received any food delivery.

He wanted to call Xia Qingtian to ask about the situation.

Eventually, he picked up his phone but ultimately put it down again, hesitating whether he should call.
