Chapter 421: Chapter 421 Her Side of the Story_1

Upon hearing Shi Qian’s voice, Xia Qingtian froze, as rigid as a statue.

This call was clearly meant for Bo Jingyan.

How could Shi Qian be answering Bo Jingyan’s phone?

A mobile phone is something very personal. How could Bo Jingyan allow Shi Qian to answer it?

"Where is Bo Jingyan?" Xia Qingtian forced herself to remain composed, her voice stern as she asked.

Shi Qian chuckled lightly, a hint of desperation in her tone. "Oh, Brother Jingyan is currently taking a shower and can’t answer your call right now. If you have any messages, you can tell me. I’ll tell him once he’s done," she replied coyly.

Bo Jingyan was taking a shower, so how did Shi Qian answer his phone?

Unless—

At this moment, she was in Bo Jingyan’s room.

Bo Jingyan was allowing a woman with designs on him to stay in his room and answer his phone while he was showering.

Realizing this, Xia Qingtian’s already pale face due to excessive blood loss grew even paler.

Not wanting to give Shi Qian the satisfaction of seeing her distraught, she feigned nonchalance and said, "No, it’s okay. I will...I will tell him myself."

After saying this, she gestured to the healthcare worker to help cut the call.

After the call was disconnected, Xia Qingtian felt even weaker, but she did not wallow in self-pity over the call nor did she give up on herself.

There was no one in this world who could make her give up on herself.

She was determined to endure, not letting anything happen to herself.

Thinking this, Xia Qingtian used her strong willpower to force herself to stay awake.

In the end, relying on her own strong determination, she made it to the hospital.

It wasn’t until she was wheeled into the operating room that she finally allowed herself to drift into unconsciousness.

...

Meanwhile,

Shi Qian stood at Bo Jingyan’s room entrance, looking at the disconnected call, a scheming smile playing on her lips.

Bo Jingyan’s phone had incidentally fallen at the restaurant while he was eating.

She picked it up with the intention of returning it to him. However, when she was at his door, Xia Qingtian’s call came in. She wrestled with her conscience for a moment but ultimately could not resist the opportunity to rile her up.

So, she deliberately said those words, effectively prompting Xia Qingtian to react by abruptly disconnecting the call.

Imagining Xia Qingtian likely misunderstanding her and Bo Jingyan, and becoming so infuriated that she would vomit blood, Shi Qian felt quite pleased, her spirits rejuvenated.

After considering for a moment, Shi Qian decided not to return the phone to Bo Jingyan just yet and turned off the device.

Since she had already ignited suspicions in Xia Qingtian, she might as well fan the flames.

Therefore, she decided not to give Xia Qingtian a chance to contact Bo Jingyan that evening. By leaving plenty of room for Xia Qingtian’s imagination to run wild, she was sure Xia Qingtian would overthink things.

Pleased with her decision, Shi Qian clutched the phone and returned to her own room.

By the time Bo Jingyan had finished his evening routine and attended to his company’s matters, it was already close to midnight before he realized that he had misplaced his phone.

He personally descended the stairs and looked around, only to inquire about his lost phone from servants who were still awake, but to no avail. It was getting late, and instead of disturbing everyone to continue the search, he decided to question the other servants the next day.

If it still could not be located after all, then he would simply buy a new one.

With that thought, Bo Jingyan stopped fretting and decided to rest.

However, upon returning to his room, he inexplicably felt a wave of uneasiness, as if something bad had happened, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.

Eventually, he decided not to sleep and took his laptop to his room. He spent the night discussing overseas market expansion plans with his colleagues from the overseas branch.

Time flew by as he was engrossed in the conversation, and it was already dawn by the time they settled on a viable plan.

Bo Jingyan decided to take immediate action and seize this opportunity.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Bo Jingyan messaged Jian Xuan to book a flight to foreign lands, planning on a short trip abroad.

He packed everything he might need, made another inquiry about his phone only to find it was still missing, and then gave up the attempts to locate it.

Due to lack of time, he didn’t apply for a new phone card. Instead, he let Jian Xuan buy a new phone and apply a new number near the airport.

His previous number could be dealt with when he returned from abroad.

Once he got the new number, almost reflexively, Bo Jingyan dialed a familiar number without even realizing what he was doing.

Only after he regained his senses did he recognize it as Xia Qingtian’s number.

A complex look crossed his eyes. He didn’t expect that the only person he would want to contact on personal impulse before he left the country would be Xia Qingtian.

Since they last met at a business reception, they hadn’t seen each other.

On one hand, both of them were busy. Moreover, he had moved back to his family home to keep his mother company, so they were not living under the same roof.

On the other hand, he had actively avoided Xia Qingtian.

Otherwise, as husband and wife living in the same city and knowing everything about each other, they could easily meet up whenever he wanted.

Bo Jingyan’s decision to avoid Xia Qingtian was not for any reason other than a simple desire not to hear the word ’divorce’ again.

This time, he didn’t restrain himself but followed his heart and made the call to Xia Qingtian.

After all, he would be going abroad for a few days. Even if they brought up the topic of divorce again, they wouldn’t be able to take immediate action.

However, despite his thoughtful consideration, Xia Qingtian’s phone was switched off.

Bo Jingyan frowned, sensing something amiss.

Before he could investigate, Jian Xuan reminded him that it was almost time for boarding and that they needed to go through security.

Reluctantly, he put away his phone. He decided to visit An’an when he returned from abroad, and while doing so, also check up on Xia Qingtian.

With these thoughts, he put the matter at the back of his mind and boarded the plane abroad.

...

At the same time.

In the hospital,

After receiving emergency life-saving treatment and a blood transfusion, Xia Qingtian was out of the life-threatening situation.

However, her right arm was fractured, her head was stitched up in more than a dozen places, and she looked extremely worn out.

When she left the emergency room, she was unconscious the whole night until she regained consciousness the next day.

Upon waking up, she felt as if all the bones in her body had been taken apart, especially her head which felt like it was about to split open. The memories of the previous day came flooding back.

Immediately, she remembered the car accident from yesterday and the massive blood loss she had suffered.

Instinctively, she wanted to touch the back of her head,

But when she tried to lift her left hand, she realized it was being tightly held by someone, making it impossible to move.
