Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Light at the End of the Tunnel_1

After hanging up, Xia Qingtian placed the clothes she had chosen for Bo Jingyan back in the closet, and then went to play with An’an.

They played for a while, then An’an fell asleep.

With nothing to do, Xia Qingtian casually lay on the couch eating fruit and playing on her phone, aimlessly browsing through her friends’ updates to see if anything interesting was happening.

While doing so, she noticed an update from Shi Qian posted just a few minutes ago.

As soon as she saw Shi Qian’s post, Xia Qingtian’s scrolling hand froze.

It was a photo of Shi Qian and a man, with the caption–

"Accompanying you by your side is my greatest fortune in three lifetimes!"

In the photo, Shi Qian was intimately linking arms with the man, smiling sweetly at the camera. But the man in the photo, though expressionless, was still strikingly handsome and impossible to ignore.

They looked unexpectedly harmonious together in the photo, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, such an eye-pleasing combination.

Of course, it would be even better if the man in the photo wasn’t Bo Jingyan.

Xia Qingtian’s hand gripping the phone turned somewhat pale from the force she was exerting, her face also turning somewhat pale.

She hadn’t expected Bo Jingyan to take Shi Qian to the business dinner instead of her.

Why?

She had already hinted at Bo Jingyan on the phone that as a married man attending an event necessitating a woman’s company, having a young and beautiful woman by his side who was neither his wife nor his subordinate implied something significant.

Yet, notwithstanding these circumstances, he chose to bring Shi Qian along.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

Again, she was painfully reminded that Bo Jingyan had lost his memory and was no longer the man he used to be.

If it were the Jingyan of before, he would never do anything that might upset her or lead to misunderstandings.

Xia Qingtian forced herself to calm down.

She felt she couldn’t pass judgment on Bo Jingyan so lightly. At the very least, she should try to understand the actual situation. Perhaps there was more to this than met the eye.

With that thought, she could no longer stay at home.

She had to find Bo Jingyan at the banquet.

As swiftly as possible, she put on the gown she had bought today, styled herself quickly, and rushed towards the venue where the business party was being held.

Fortunately, she had previously seen Bo Jingyan’s invitation, so she knew where the event was taking place.

The journey was smooth, and she got there quickly.

But today’s business party was a private event, so not everyone was allowed to enter.

Xia Qingtian was stopped at the entrance of the mansion by security guards who asked for invitation.

Where would she get such an invitation?

She tried explaining to the guards that she was there to meet someone, but they didn’t budge.

Xia Qingtian wanted to call Bo Jingyan to pick her up, but on opening her bag, she discovered she had left her phone at home in her hurry.

What now? Without an invitation or a phone.

Should she go back to get it? Or wait outside the mansion until the party was over?

No!

Thinking of Bo Jingyan, who had lost his memory, and the predatory Shi Qian, who was with him at this moment, Xia Qingtian felt as though her heart was being seared on a flame, an indescribable agony.

But what could she do, unable to get in now?

Just when Xia Qingtian didn’t know what to do, suddenly...

"Qingtian?" a familiar voice sounded.

Xia Qingtian instinctively turned her head towards the sound.

When she saw the face of the person, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Qilin, what are you doing here?"

She hadn’t expected to see Huo Qilin here.

And the security guard who had been rude to her just moments before, showed a very respectful attitude when he saw Huo Qilin, "Young Master Lin..."

Ignoring the guard, Huo Qilin looked at Xia Qingtian and said, "This is my elder brother’s house..."

Hearing him, Xia Qingtian finally understood why he was here and why the guard was so respectful to him.

It felt like she had suddenly found a ray of hope.

"Qilin, I need to go in and find someone, but I don’t have an invitation. Can you let me in?" she grabbed Huo Qilin’s arm, looking at him expectantly.

Huo Qilin glanced at her hand, eyed gleaming with amusement.

He nodded, "Sure."

"That’s great." Even though she was in a bad mood, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but smile upon hearing these words.

Indeed, after a dark tunnel, there’s always a glimmer of light.

With Huo Qilin as her guide, even without an invitation, Xia Qingtian managed to enter the mansion.

All the attendees of the party were elites from various industries, gathering in small groups, exchanging views on the market economy, or carrying out resource exchanges.

As soon as she entered, Xia Qingtian started to automatically search for Bo Jingyan.

She was so focused on finding him that she didn’t notice what was under her feet. She stumbled on something and nearly fell.

Fortunately, Huo Qilin was right by her side and quickly reached out to steady her.

"Are you okay?" Huo Qilin asked her with concern.

"I’m fine, it’s just..." Xia Qingtian forced a smile, "It seems there’s a problem with my shoes."

The heel of her high-heeled shoe had broken.

"Don’t worry, leave it to me." Without letting go of her hand Huo Qilin reassured her in a relaxed manner.

Then, he took out his phone and made a call.

After a short while, a new pair of shoes was handed over by a servant.

"Thank you," Xia Qingtian thanked him and made a move to take the shoes.

But Huo Qilin deflected her hand and made no move to give her the shoes. "You’re wearing a gown, it’s not convenient for you to bend down, and there’s no chair around for you to sit. I’ll help you change, just stand still."

Without waiting for Xia Qingtian to refuse, he squatted down right away.

He lifted one of Xia Qingtian’s feet onto his knee, quickly removed the shoe with a broken heel from her foot, and replaced it with the new one.

His actions were so quick that by the time Xia Qingtian had a chance to react, her shoe was already replaced.

Huo Qilin stood up and looked at her attentively, "All done. Check how it fits."

Xia Qingtian subconsciously moved her foot.

The shoes Huo Qilin had brought were exactly her size.

"Yes, they fit perfectly." She nodded.

Recalling the incident just now, she felt a bit awkward and wanted to tell Huo Qilin not to go to such lengths for her in the future.

But before she could say a word, she suddenly felt a burning gaze on her.
