Chapter 522: Chapter 522 Unexpected Person_1

The interview ended and Xia Qingtian glanced at the time, realizing it was still early.

Today’s interview went more smoothly than she had expected, she had initially set aside a full day for the interview. But now, it was only lunchtime.

She instinctively thought of having lunch with Bo Jingyan.

Conveniently, the magazine office was not too far from Bo Group, if she went now, it would perfectly coincide with Bo Group’s lunchtime.

With that thought, Xia Qingtian prepared to find Huo Qilin and let him leave first.

Just as she turned, a large bouquet of vibrant roses suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her view. It was so large that she couldn’t see who was standing on the other side.

Huo Qilin was the one who accompanied her to the magazine office today, so she naturally assumed that he was the one holding the flowers in front of her.

And fittingly, she was looking for Huo Qilin.

Now that he appeared on his own, she was saved the trouble.

Xia Qingtian began to speak, "Qilin, I have a lunch..."

Before she could finish, the flowers in front of her were abruptly moved, and before she could react, a deeply annoyed, icy voice rang in her ears, "Look clearly at who’s standing before you."

Xia Qingtian found the voice vaguely familiar, could it be... Bo Jingyan?

But why would Bo Jingyan be here?

Could she have heard wrong?

Xia Qingtian quickly looked up at the person standing before her.

The man in front of her was looking at her without expression, his deep eyes filled with displeasure. Who else could it be but Bo Jingyan?

In surprised joy, she asked, "Jingyan, why is it you?"

An icy chill seemed to radiate off Bo Jingyan’s handsome face, "If not me, who else were you hoping for? Huo Qilin?"

His acidic tone was palpable and impossible for Xia Qingtian to ignore. Only then did she realize, he seemed to be jealous.

She couldn’t help but smile wryly. "I wasn’t hoping for anyone, I just thought it was Huo Qilin because I was about to go find him. I was planning to let him leave first while I headed to Bo Group for a lunch date. I didn’t expect the person to actually show up at my interview location."

The ’someone’ she referred to was unnamed, but considering she was going to the Bo Group, anyone could infer who this ’someone’ was.

Hearing that she was originally planning to have lunch with him, Bo Jingyan’s expression softened slightly.

Xia Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

She pointed to the roses in Bo Jingyan’s hand, asking, "Are these flowers for me?"

"Yes." Bo Jingyan nodded and handed over the flowers again.

This time, Xia Qingtian didn’t put on any airs, and she accepted the flowers. She gently touched the blooming petals, revealing a sincere smile, "They’re beautiful, I love them."

A barely discernible smile flashed across Bo Jingyan’s face.

Suddenly, it seemed Xia Qingtian thought of something. She stopped playing with the petals and asked, "By the way, why would you suddenly show up here? And even bought flowers?"

She recalled thinking of giving Bo Jingyan a copy of the magazine once it was out and thus hadn’t mentioned today’s interview.

How did he still know?

Bo Jingyan honestly replied, "You are someone I care about. You’re being hailed as a top-notch manager and underwent a professional magazine interview. Of course, I’m here to support you."

"I originally wanted to wait for the magazine to be out, and then surprise you with a copy," Xia Qingtian sighed.

Bo Jingyan cooperatively said, "I can pretend not to know."

She laughed, "No need for that. Now that you know, you know. When the magazine is out, I still want to gift you a copy. Do you have time now? I’d like to invite you for lunch?"

"Whenever it concerns you, I always have time." Bo Jingyan’s gaze was burning as he looked at her.

Xia Qingtian felt as if she was about to melt under his intense gaze.

She broke away from his eyes, saying, "Alright, wait for me a moment. I’ll tell Qilin to leave first."

With that, she was ready to find Huo Qilin with the bouquet in her arms.

The bouquet was so large that it completely blocked her view. When she turned around, she didn’t notice two steps in front of her.

As she stepped forward, she immediately lost her balance.

"Ah..." She let out a little cry.

Just as she thought she was about to fall, a force from behind quickly gripped her waist and steadied her, preventing her from making a spectacle.

Xia Qingtian’s face was still a bit pale as she tried to calm her racing heart.

A deep, husky voice came from behind her, "How do you feel?"

As she turned her head, she found herself looking at Bo Jingyan’s handsome face. She shook her head dumbly, "I’m fine."

Bo Jingyan’s tightly knitted brows finally relaxed.

"Be careful," he reminded her with some concern, "I can’t always be around to save you."

Xia Qingtian felt warmth flooding her heart as she understood his concern.

She didn’t retort, instead flashing a sweet smile, "Okay, I’ll be more careful whenever I’m alone."

Bo Jingyan released his grip around her waist once he was sure she had steadied herself, and took her hand.

"Forget it, don’t go looking for Huo Qilin, just send him a message." With that, he helped Xia Qingtian into the car parked by the side of the road.

Xia Qingtian didn’t argue, recalling the fall she almost had.

She placed the flowers in the back seat, then took out her phone, about to call Huo Qilin. Before she dialed, she looked up and saw Huo Qilin holding a bunch of lilies, looking around as if searching for someone.

She immediately rolled down the car window and checked that there weren’t too many people around before calling out, "Huo Qilin, over here."

Huo Qilin immediately walked over to her.

She asked him instantly, "Where have you been?"

As she recalled, Huo Qilin had been within sight during the interview, but he was nowhere to be found once it ended.

Huo Qilin quickly explained, "While waiting for you, someone recognized me. I was afraid it would disturb your interview so I led them away. I circled around the area to lose them. On my way back, I saw a flower shop nearby and bought a bouquet..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the engine of the car Xia Qingtian was sitting in roared to life.

Following that, Bo Jingyan’s expressionless face appeared from her side, "Are you done? If you continue to dawdle like this, we are going to miss lunch."
