Chapter 416: Chapter 416: The Plot Succeeds_1

Therefore, regarding Bo Jingyan, their love and marriage with Xia Qingtian were inherently melancholic.

He silently gazed at Xia Qingtian, his voice icy cold, "So, you want to divorce me?"

After uttering these words, he found himself holding his breath. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of fear stirring within him.

Divorce???

Xia Qingtian had never imagined that she would one day hear the word ’divorce’ coming from Bo Jingyan’s mouth.

So, had he accepted Shi Qian’s words?

Did he also want to divorce her?

Suddenly, Xia Qingtian let out a wan smile, her heart filled with devastation. "Divorce? Alright, if you want a divorce, then let’s do it."

Upon hearing her words, Bo Jingyan finally understood where the fear in his heart had originated and why it lingered.

He had been unwilling to hear a definitive answer from Xia Qingtian.

His heart felt as if it had been hollowed out.

There was no pain, but he could feel a wave of numbness overtaking him.

This numbness spread from his heart to his entire body, rendering him speechless.

After Xia Qingtian finished speaking, she half-expected Bo Jingyan to express some form of objection, but...

Nothing!

He did not voice any objections, nor did he say anything at all.

Xia Qingtian laughed at herself bitterly.

That’s right.

From the moment Bo Jingyan woke from his coma and lost his memories, he had expressed his wish to divorce her. It was she who had torn up the divorce agreement and refused to let go.

Now that she had finally agreed, why would Bo Jingyan object?

With this in mind, Xia Qingtian didn’t want to stay here any longer and suffer humiliation. Why he had chosen to bring Shi Qian to today’s business cocktail party didn’t seem so important anymore.

"Have someone draft the divorce agreement again. Once it’s ready, send it to me." After saying this, she suppressed the urge to throw herself into Bo Jingyan’s arms and turned to leave.

She didn’t want to appear so lowly in front of Bo Jingyan.

Nor did she want to give Shi Qian, who wanted to make a mockery of her, the satisfaction.

She wanted to keep the last shred of her dignity.

Bo Jingyan stood at his original spot, watching her retreating figure. A sudden wave of fear gripped him, as if he was about to lose something immensely important.

Subconsciously, he wanted to stop Xia Qingtian, though he was uncertain what he would say.

However, he knew for certain that he could not let her leave just like that.

"Brother Jingyan..."

But before he could act, someone grasped his arm.

He turned to see it was Shi Qian.

"The business cocktail party isn’t over yet, don’t leave..." Shi Qian whispered, holding tightly onto Bo Jingyan’s arm.

Bo Jingyan pushed her hand away lightly, murmuring, "I don’t care."

This business cocktail party wasn’t important to him at all. He had only attended to give face to Huo Qichen, the Huo family’s young master who had hosted it. No one would dare to reprimand him for leaving early.

It had taken Shi Qian a lot of effort to successfully push Bo Jingyan and Xia Qingtian towards divorce in their moment of impulse.

She didn’t want Bo Jingyan to go after Xia Qingtian, reconcile their misunderstandings, and decide not to divorce.

Wouldn’t the slap she had just received be in vain?

Thinking about this, a cunning glint flashed in Shi Qian’s eyes as she opened her mouth again. "Brother Jingyan, are you worried about Qingtian and want to go after her? But someone else is already by her side."

Saying this, she tilted her chin slightly, indicating Bo Jingyan to look over.

Bo Jingyan followed her gaze and indeed saw Huo Qilin standing beside Xia Qingtian, whispering something to her, his eyes filled with tender affection.

His fists, hanging by his sides, clenched involuntarily and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

However, after Xia Qingtian exchanged a few words with Huo Qilin, she left swiftly. Huo Qilin stayed at his spot, watching Xia Qingtian’s departing figure with a sombre expression.

Only then did Bo Jingyan gradually loosen his clenched fist.

He took out his phone, dialled Jian Xuan’s number, instructing him to send someone to secretly escort Xia Qingtian home.

Only then did he casually say to Shi Qian, "Let’s go, I’ll show you around."

Seeing this, Shi Qian couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Although she had instigated the talk of divorce, she didn’t feel any joy in her heart.

Because she was aware that she only achieved her goal by capitalising on Bo Jingyan’s jealousy and insecurity.

If Bo Jingyan, after losing his memory, only saw Xia Qingtian as a stranger, he wouldn’t feel jealous or insecure anymore.

Thus, the truth was that even though he had lost his memories and did not recognize Xia Qingtian, he still loved her subconsciously.

Fearing that she might be taken away by another man, he wanted to keep Xia Qingtian away from Huo Qilin.

How could she be happy when the man she loved had someone else in his heart?

Shi Qian bit her lips resentfully and followed Bo Jingyan’s footsteps.

She tried to console herself in her heart.

It didn’t matter if Brother Jingyan didn’t like her now. She could let him divorce Xia Qingtian first and then consider marrying her, becoming Mrs. Bo.

Even if she couldn’t obtain his heart, having him by her side would be enough.

Furthermore, as Mrs. Bo, she would have the full right to be close to him. They have an entire lifetime together; as long as she treats him sincerely, she can eventually win over his heart.

At the moment, the most important thing was to prevent them from dispelling their misunderstandings and ensuring their divorce.

With this in mind, a sharp gleam flickered in Shi Qian’s eyes.

Then she made an excuse, saying she was hungry and wanted to get some food, and separated from Bo Jingyan.

She found a corner and made a call to Bo’s mother, uttering a few sentences.

After being assured by Bo’s mother, she smirked, her ploy successful.

...

When the business cocktail party ended, Bo Jingyan sent Shi Qian back to the old house.

As he exited the car, he observed Shi Qian’s slightly swollen cheek. His eyes turned sombre instantly.

His gaze unnerved Shi Qian. Her heartbeat started to race wildly.

"Brother Jingyan, what are you looking at?" she asked him with a blush that was enough to stir up wild thoughts.

Could he have discovered her feelings and wanted to kiss her?

Intuitively, Shi Qian wanted to close her eyes. But at that moment...

"Your face is still a bit swollen, if you’re asked about it when you go home...," Bo Jingyan voiced his concern, unaware of her chaotic thoughts.

Shi Qian, who had just been elated, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her — like she had just plummeted from heaven to hell.

She knew what Bo Jingyan was worried about.

He was simply afraid she might tell his mother what Xia Qingtian had done, and feared his mom would blame Xia Qingtian.

Despite their conversation at the party about divorce, he was still protecting Xia Qingtian.

Shi Qian ’s heart was corroded by jealousy, and yet, under Bo Jingyan’s gaze, she had no choice but to put up a show of magnanimity.
