Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Protect Her_1

Xia Qingtian listened expressionlessly as Cheng Bingbing explained the whole situation.

Thinking that she might have been crushed under the wheels if the driver hadn’t braked in time, a chilling glint flashed in her eyes.

"Shi Qian..." She slowly uttered the name, about to say something, when...

The door to the hospital room was pushed open again.

Xia Qingtian and Cheng Bingbing immediately turned to look. It was Bo Jingyan who had come back with some food.

Bo Jingyan entered the room with the food, noticing the uneasy expressions on both women’s faces, especially Xia Qingtian, who seemed particularly livid. Surely, nothing could have happened whilst he was away.

With this in mind, he raised an eyebrow inquisitively, asking, "What were you two just discussing?"

Xia Qingtian turned her head away without a word.

Seeing her reluctance to speak, Bo Jingyan, left without any options, looked to Cheng Bingbing, pressing her, "What did you tell Qingtian?"

Cornered by his question, for some reason, Cheng Bingbing felt extremely nervous.

Subsequently, as if she had lost control over herself, she honestly confessed, "Qingtian asked me about an incident at the airport where someone called her a mistress, and I told her."

Having said it, she felt a pang of guilt, lowering her gaze before tentatively asking, "Did I say something wrong? Should I have not told her about this?"

Before Bo Jingyan could respond, Xia Qingtian jumped in saying, "You didn’t do anything wrong; I, being involved, have the right to know the truth."

As she spoke, she stared at Bo Jingyan with a look that challenged him to criticize Cheng Bingbing.

Given such stare, Bo Jingyan could only concede, regardless of how he felt internally, "Qingtian is right. She has the right to know the truth."

Only then did Xia Qingtian look satisfied.

Relieved, Cheng Bingbing found herself increasingly uncomfortable around Bo Jingyan, his presence felt oppressive. So she decided to leave.

"Qingtian, now that you’re awake, I am reassured. You should rest and heal. I won’t disturb you any longer." She finished speaking and left without waiting for Xia Qingtian to respond.

In the blink of an eye, only Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan were left in the room.

Bo Jingyan poured out the porridge he had brought, blowing on it before offering it to Xia Qingtian, "You haven’t eaten in days. I got you some easily digestible porridge, have some."

Xia Qingtian was indeed famished but had no intention of neglecting her own health.

She took the porridge with a serene face, starting to eat slowly. Perhaps because she missed a few meals, she quickly felt full.

Although Bo Jingyan felt she ate too little, he didn’t insist.

After the meal, it was time to address serious matters.

Despite the passed time, Xia Qingtian’s head was still throbbing.

She quietly looked at Bo Jingyan, a hint of displeasure in her voice, "I was injured. You, with your sharp senses, must know why."

"I know." Bo Jingyan didn’t shy away.

"Are you planning to let it slide?" Xia Qingtian glared at him.

She was injured because of Bo Jingyan. If Bo’s mother hadn’t publicly declared Shi Qian as the future daughter-in-law on a variety show and talked about her engagement with Bo Jingyan...

And Bo Jingyan hadn’t contradicted his mother, Xia Qingtian wouldn’t have been wrongfully labeled as a mistress, the real mistress creating this misunderstanding.

For her, this incident was truly an undeserved calamity.

"I have no plans to let it slide." Bo Jingyan grabbed her hand, looking deeply into her eyes, earnestly explaining, "The reason I haven’t done anything yet is that you were unconscious."

"You’ve no idea how the last three days have been. The doctor said you had a head injury and that you’d wake up the next day at the latest. However, the second day passed yet you didn’t wake up, you remained unconscious for three days without any clear cause."

"Before you woke up, no one knew how long you’d stay unconscious. In this situation, I had no energy to focus on anything else. All I wanted was for you to wake soon. Thankfully..."

There was a strong sense of relief in his voice, "Thankfully, you woke up."

In the end, his voice trembled slightly because of the lingering fear.

Xia Qingtian could see that he’d been very afraid.

It reminded her of when she and Bo Jingyan were in B Country. He’d been seriously injured and had lost a lot of blood. The worry and unease she felt then echoed in Bo Jingyan now.

With that realization, she felt a strong sense of empathy for Bo Jingyan.

Overwhelmed by her emotions, Xia Qingtian found herself throwing herself into his arms, speaking, "I’m fine now. I am right here, alive, in front of you. I didn’t wake up because I was too tired and needed a good sleep."

Bo Jingyan held her tightly in his arms.

It took a while for their emotions to calm down.

"Qingtian, rest assured..." Bo Jingyan assured her with a cold voice, "In this world, no one can hurt you and walk away unscathed."

As he said this, his voice contained a hint of chilling murderous intent.

The woman in front of him probably had no idea how much more he hated Shi Qian, the instigator.

Recalling how he almost lost his significant other because of Shi Qian, this reckless woman, he wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. If it wasn’t for Xia Qingtian’s extended unconsciousness...

Shi Qian would probably already be in the incinerator.

With this in mind, Bo Jingyan said to Xia Qingtian, "Leave this matter to me. Can you trust me a little bit more? I promise to provide a satisfactory answer."

In fact, Xia Qingtian tended to take matters into her own hands.

However, considering she had decided to reconcile with Bo Jingyan, and since they were husband and wife, they were one entity. If he avenged her, it wouldn’t be any different from her taking revenge herself.

She also wanted to give Bo Jingyan a chance to be her hero.

"Okay." Finally, Xia Qingtian nodded in agreement.

If Bo Jingyan wished for her to rely on him more, then she would do as he wished.

...

Normally, Xia Qingtian should have been discharged after gaining consciousness.

However, Bo Jingyan felt uneasy with her leaving the hospital so soon.
