Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Unscrupulous for Love_1

Xia Qingtian had already left with Bo Jingyan, and Huo Qilin was still standing in place.

"She’s gone already. Snap out of it." Huo Qichen slapped his shoulder, reminding him, then walked towards the car that was parked by the side of the road.

Huo Qilin followed suit, disoriented.

On the ride back, seeing his brother’s pathetic manner, Huo Qichen adjusted his golden-rimmed glasses and said, "If you like her so much, why not pursue her?"

Huo Qilin forced out a bitter smile, "She’s already married."

Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan had already been to the civil affairs bureau. From the looks of it, they seemed to be on the verge of reconciling. Given the circumstances, he had no hope.

Upon hearing this, Huo Qichen pursed his lips, saying in a dominant and obsessive manner, "So what if she’s married? If you like her, you should find a way to win her over."

What he said was completely unlike his demeanor and appearance.

Huo Qilin looked at him in surprise, as if he saw his brother for the first time, "Bro, you’re joking, right?"

"Of course not." Huo Qichen spoke with absolute authority, "If it were me, no matter who she is or who she married, no matter the methods used, I would make sure to have her."

Huo Qilin was speechless, unsure of how to comment on his brother’s unorthodox viewpoint.

However, upon reflection, his brother had always retained this kind of attitude, or else people from both the white and black sides wouldn’t have been so cautious around him even at a young age.

Huo Qichen paid no attention to what his dumbfounded younger brother was thinking. Having said his piece, he closed his eyes to take a nap.

As Huo Qilin pondered over his conversation with his brother, his eyes flashed with thoughtful expressions.

...

Xia Qingtian was completely oblivious to the conversation between the two brothers.

She sat in the car, leaning tiredly on Bo Jingyan’s shoulder, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Do you have a headache?" Bo Jingyan asked as he began to massage her temples with a firm yet gentle touch.

His technique was professional, and his touch alleviated her headache. She relished in the relief and squinted her eyes contentedly.

"Feeling better?" Bo Jingyan softly asked.

Xia Qingtian nodded, "Mmm, much better."

Bo Jingyan’s movements became even gentler. After a while, when her headache was completely gone, he pulled her into his arms, "Have a nap, we’ll arrive soon."

Xia Qingtian was indeed tired.

She restrained herself from immediately confronting Bo Jingyan about Xia Guohua, and found a comfortable position in his arms to close her eyes and rest a little, restoring her energy.

She had a feeling that once she learned the truth about Xia Guohua from Bo Jingyan, she wouldn’t be able to sleep.

At first, she merely closed her eyes, her mind was still alert.

Latterly, the suppressed drowsiness gradually recurred and, before she knew it, she had fallen asleep in Bo Jingyan’s arms.

When she woke up, it was already the next morning.

She opened her eyes, looking at the vaguely familiar surroundings. After a moment of bewilderment, her mind began to stir back to life.

She recognized it. This was the master bedroom in Bo Jingyan’s city apartment.

The last time was on the night of the Huaji Awards Ceremony, when she was brought back here by Bo Jingyan.

Where is Bo Jingyan?

As Xia Qingtian wondered, the bedroom door suddenly opened.

Bo Jingyan walked in from outside. Seeing that she was awake, he handed her a warm cup of honey water, "Drink this to soothe your stomach."

Xia Qingtian took it and sipped slowly.

Having finished her honey water, Bo Jingyan told her, "Go freshen up. Then come out for breakfast."

He walked out as soon as he finished speaking.

Xia Qingtian remembered that she’d rushed back from out of town to ask about Xia Guohua, and immediately jumped out of bed to chase after Bo Jingyan, "Wait..."

Bo Jingyan’s steps faltered.

Xia Qingtian began to query, "My father... "

Before she finished her sentence, it seemed as if Bo Jingyan noticed something. His eyebrows furrowed, and he quickly walked over to her, scooping her up in one swift motion.

"Why are you running around barefoot? What if you catch a chill?" His tone was full of disapproval.

Words failed Xia Qingtian at hearing this.

Because Bo Jingyan had not allowed her to walk around barefoot before his amnesia.

Unexpectedly, even with amnesia, he was still as domineering and autocratic in some aspects as ever.

But upon further thought, it made sense. Even with amnesia, Bo Jingyan remained Bo Jingyan and not a different soul inhabiting his body, so he was still domineering and still disliked her walking barefoot on the floor.

Realizing this, Xia Qingtian felt warmth in her heart.

Bo Jingyan carried Xia Qingtian back to their room, set her down on the bed, and knelt on one knee to put her shoes on. Then he looked up at her, his gaze carrying a hint of determination.

"Don’t run around barefoot anymore!" He warned, raising his head.

"Understood." Xia Qingtian nodded and explained, "I just wanted to know about my father’s situation, so I forgot to put my shoes on. I didn’t do it on purpose."

Upon hearing her mention Xia Guohua again, Bo Jingyan fell silent for a moment.

After a short while, he stood up from the floor and said, "This is a bit complicated, it can’t be explained in a few words. Breakfast is ready, and it’ll get cold if delayed. Let’s talk about it after eating."

Xia Qingtian examined Bo Jingyan and suddenly became aware of one thing.

She felt that Bo Jingyan seemed to be intentionally stalling.

Why?

Was the news neither good nor bad?

Why the delay?

At this thought, Xia Qingtian became anxious. She desperately wanted to know the answer, yet she was also afraid.

However, she knew that since Bo Jingyan was intent on delaying, pursuing the matter at that moment would be futile. She decided not to waste time or breath anymore.

She swiftly finished her breakfast.

Because she believed that while Bo Jingyan could delay a while, he couldn’t postpone indefinitely.

Since he’d said he’d talk after breakfast, he should keep his word.

With that thought, Xia Qingtian nodded, "You wait in the dining room, I’ll be down as soon as I’ve freshened up."

"Mm." Bo Jingyan agreed, then left the room.

Xia Qingtian freshened up as swiftly as possible and quickly finished breakfast downstairs.

Having finished her breakfast, she put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth and asked, "I’m done eating, have you finished?"
