Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Just in Case_1

Huo Qilin touched his face, "Is my liking for Qingtian that obvious?"

"Yes." Cheng Bingbing nodded emphatically, giving him an affirmative answer.

Huo Qilin’s mood became somewhat complex for a moment.

After a long silence, he looked at Cheng Bingbing pleadingly, "Can I ask you a favor, don’t reveal that I like Qingtian, especially not to Qingtian herself."

"Why?" Cheng Bingbing was puzzled.

If he liked Xia Qingtian so much, why wouldn’t he let her know?

If she didn’t know, wouldn’t that mean he’d never have a chance?

Huo Qilin spoke rather dismally, "Because Qingtian has not yet received her divorce certificate, she is not officially divorced yet, I don’t want her to be the subject of gossip because of me, and..."

"You saw it this morning, her relationship with Bo Jingyan, seems to have eased a bit after going to B country, perhaps the two will reconcile soon. If she knew I liked her at this time, it would be a burden for her, I’m afraid she would distance herself from me because of this, and then we wouldn’t even be friends."

"I’m satisfied with the status quo, being a friend and her artist, accompanying her until she is officially divorced, I will then consider letting her know my feelings."

In his words, there was a touch of self-depreciation.

On the contrary, it highlighted to the others, how much he liked Xia Qingtian.

After hearing this, Cheng Bingbing felt as if someone had stabbed her heart, experiencing the sensation of heart-wrenching pain.

Huo Qilin had no idea how much pain she felt at this moment, after confiding in her, he said again, "So, please, keep this a secret for me, don’t let Qingtian know."

"Okay, fine." Cheng Bingbing tried to ignore her shattered heart and agreed.

Huo Qilin was finally completely relieved.

...

Xia Qingtian was not aware of the conversation between Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin.

After delivering the gifts, she continued to work, so as to avoid herself breaking up, she specifically instructed her assistant that unless it’s something urgent, no one should disturb her.

She finished a pile of work and was about to get started on another.

Suddenly, the office door was knocked on and then pushed open.

Xia Qingtian, who was in the middle of signing a document, paused.

Didn’t she instruct her assistant not to let anyone disturb her? Who is so impolite?

Thinking so, she looked up rather annoyed and scolded, "Who allowed you to excusing..."

Before she finished her sentence, she saw Bo Jingyan leaning against the door, looking at her with a smirk, "Didn’t expect you to be so fierce at work."

Xia Qingtian didn’t continue the conversation, but asked him in a puzzled way, "Why are you here?"

"If I didn’t come, were you planning to work all night?" Bo Jingyan raised his wrist and pointed to his watch elegantly, "Look at the time."

Xia Qingtian looked up and found that it was almost eleven o’clock.

She was so engrossed in her work that she lost track of time. If Bo Jingyan hadn’t reminded her, she might have thought it still wasn’t time to leave work.

While they were talking, hurried footsteps could be heard.

It was Xia Qingtian’s assistant returning.

When she saw Bo Jingyan leaning against Xia Qingtian’s office door, her face turned pale, "Sorry, Mr. Xia, I was just too hungry, so I went to the pantry to get some noodles, that’s why I couldn’t stop him."

"It’s okay, I can’t believe it’s so late. You may go." Xia Qingtian dismissed her nonchalantly, "Take a taxi home. The company will reimburse you."

Upon hearing that she could be reimbursed without being chastised by her boss, the assistant was grateful, "Thank you, Mr. Xia."

After saying this, she quickly packed up her things and left the company at the fastest speed.

"Let’s go." Bo Jingyan dropped his hand and spoke to Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian looked at the documents on the desk, with a little work left to complete, she wanted to finish it all in one go.

She started to say, "I..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Bo Jingyan guessed what she wanted to say, and didn’t give her a chance, "No, there isn’t room for discussion, leave with me right now."

"It’s only a little more work. Processing these files, it will take at most an hour." Xia Qingtian insisted, "You go first, I will take a taxi after finishing my work."

After saying that, she picked up the pen again and wanted to sign the unfinished document.

Bo Jingyan didn’t try to persuade her, neither did he indulge her.

He marched forward expressionlessly, grabbed Xia Qingtian’s hand holding the pen, and before she could react, hoisted her up.

Xia Qingtian tried to struggle instinctively.

Bo Jingyan had his ways of controlling her, before she could struggle, he said, "The injury I got in B country hasn’t healed, if you wriggle around, it might open up, further hurting my bruised ribs."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian became rigid and dared not move a muscle.

Right, Bo Jingyan was still injured, she had actually forgotten that.

But she couldn’t be blamed for this, it was all because Bo Jingyan was too good at enduring the pain, usually he didn’t look like a patient at all, that’s why she overlooked this fact.

Now that she remembered his injury, Xia Qingtian naturally wouldn’t let him carry her anymore.

She sighed and compromised with Bo Jingyan, "Hey, put me down, I can walk on my own."

"Even with an injury, I can handle carrying you." Bo Jingyan said this but didn’t put her down.

He wasn’t willing to let go, and Xia Qingtian couldn’t struggle, she could only let him carry her out of the company, then shove her into the car. To prevent any mischief from her end, he even locked the car door.

Xia Qingtian saw this and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Is it necessary to overdo it?" She looked at Bo Jingyan disgruntledly, "Do I seem unappreciative of your concern?"

Bo Jingyan didn’t respond to her question, just said, "Just to be safe."

While speaking, he had already started the car.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked, "By the way, have you had dinner yet?"

Xia Qingtian stiffened.

She was so engrossed in work that she even forgot the time, how could she remember to have dinner?

This was essentially a very normal thing, yet for some reason, in front of Bo Jingyan, she felt guilty about it.
