Chapter 414: Chapter 414 The Man Behind Her_1

Xia Qingtian didn’t think it was necessary, but Huo Qilin was doing it out of goodwill, so she didn’t decline.

"Understood." She nodded.

Huo Qilin finally left with reassurance.

Xia Qingtian turned her attention back to Bo Jingyan, encouraging him to continue talking.

However, before she could open her mouth, Shi Qian beat her to it and said, "Qingtian, I didn’t expect your relationship with Huo Qilin to be so good. He seems very protective of you."

"If I didn’t know you were Brother Jingyan’s wife, I would’ve assumed you two worked together every day and had grown affectionate towards each other, like a loving couple. You..."

"Shut up." Xia Qingtian interrupted Shi Qian abruptly, "No one takes you as dumb if you don’t talk."

Shi Qian seemed taken aback and moved closer to Bo Jingyan.

"Why are you so fierce, Sister Qingtian...", she murmured with a pitiful expression on her face, "I spoke the truth. It’s quite common for entertainers to end up with their agents in this industry."

"If there’s nothing going on, why would Huo Qilin be so worried about you?"

These words seemed like she was merely talking to herself, but they were loud enough for both Bo Jingyan and Xia Qingtian to hear clearly.

"Shi Qian, dare to slander me one more time, and I’ll tear your mouth apart," Xia Qingtian said coldly, staring at her with a chilling aura.

"Brother Jingyan, Qingtian is being mean," Shi Qian moved even closer to Bo Jingyan.

She was practically burying herself into his arms.

Xia Qingtian’s fists clenched in an instant.

She wasn’t interested in Shi Qian, considering it beneath her. But since Shi Qian was asking for trouble, she wouldn’t mind teaching her a lesson.

With that thought, she took a couple steps forward, intending to grab Shi Qian.

However, just before her hand could reach Shi Qian, someone caught hold of her, rendering her motionless, unable to grab Shi Qian.

And to her surprise, it was Bo Jingyan.

"What are you trying to do?" Bo Jingyan asked with furrowed eyebrows.

Xia Qingtian didn’t attempt to conceal her intentions, "Obviously to teach Shi Qian a lesson. How could you be deaf to the false claims she made?"

As she continued to struggle, she demanded, "Let me go."

"What if what she said is true?" Instead of releasing her, Bo Jingyan tightened his grip even more.

Xia Qingtian suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm, but she disregarded it.

"What did you just say?" She looked incredulously at Bo Jingyan.

Had she misheard him or was it a figment of her imagination?

How could he have said something so ridiculous?

But Bo Jingyan shattered all her illusions by repeating his words clearly and distinctly, "What if what she said is true?"

His words hit her like a sharp arrow, making her hand feel numb and her eyes misty.

She glared at Bo Jingyan and clenched her teeth, "Is that really what you think?"

Bo Jingyan noticed her reddened eyes and felt a surge of pain in his heart. He instinctively wanted to envelop her in his arms.

However, he was reminded of how Huo Qilin had rushed to her side with a worried look, and how he had knelt on one knee to change her shoes, giving off the aura of a knight.

His heart felt as if it was being devoured by jealousy and anger.

Squashing these feelings, Bo Jingyan hardened his heart.

"If you don’t want me to think this way, keep your distance from him. If you stop seeing him, I’ll change my mind," he warned sternly.

"Impossible!" Xia Qingtian refused without a moment’s hesitation.

Huo Qilin was one of her artists. She’d promised him that she’d help him stand in the center of the stage and make his dreams come true.

Not seeing Huo Qilin was not an option.

"So, between Huo Qilin and me, you’ve chosen him?" Bo Jingyan’s deep eyes flashed with a bloody red light upon seeing her determination.

Xia Qingtian shook her head, "Why should I choose between you and Huo Qilin? In my heart, you two can’t possibly be weighed on the same scale. You’re the man I love, representing my love life, while Huo Qilin represents my career. There’s absolutely no comparison."

"Why must I sacrifice my career that I’ve worked hard for love, or sacrifice the love life I’ve earnestly nurtured for my career?"

Before Bo Jingyan lost his memory, he had always been her strongest support. He wouldn’t have let her choose between love and career; on the contrary, he always supported her career.

Bo Jingyan fell silent upon hearing her words.

Now, Shiqian quickly noticed the growing rift between Bo Jingyan and Xia Qingtian seized this opportunity, not intending to let Xia Qingtian escape unscathed.

Thinking this, she immediately said, "Why can’t career and love be weighed on the same scale? If I were you and was fortunate enough to marry such an excellent man like Brother Jingyan, I’d definitely maintain a distance from other men."

"Even if you have no other intentions towards Huo Qilin, are you certain he feels the same way towards you?"

"If you truly care about Brother Jingyan, you wouldn’t do things that upset him or make him feel insecure, especially considering your previous track record."

"I already heard from Mrs. Bo that the reason Brother Jingyan fell out with his best buddy was because of you."

The expression on Bo Jingyan’s face started to freeze once again after hearing these words.

He remembered the results of his previous investigation.

Xia Qingtian was a flighty woman, who not only turned him against his best friend, Shen Yaxuan, because of her, but also fled the scene on their wedding day, and her whereabouts have been unknown since then.

This woman’s ways were really clever.

After spending a good amount of time together, he had almost forgotten his mother’s opinions of Xia Qingtian and the results of his investigations.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t tolerate Shi Qian’s slanders anymore.

Further patience would make her a ninja turtle.

Today she must teach Shi Qian a harsh lesson.

Although one of her hands was tightly held by Bo Jingyan, it didn’t matter because she had another hand.

Xia Qingtian smirked, "Shi Qian, did you eat shit for dinner? Your mouth reeks. I’ll help you clean it out now."

Without allowing time for Shi Qian to react, she quickly raised her free left hand and swiftly slapped Shi Qian twice.

Shi Qian’s delicate face instantly turned red and swollen.
