Chapter 547: Chapter 547 Duty to Fulfill_1

However, Bo Jingyan didn’t give her the chance to finish and cut her off, saying, "No one owes her anything. I’ll fulfill any duties I should, but nothing more. Don’t even dream of me sparing Shi Qian!"

He glanced at his watch.

"I don’t have time to continue this conversation..." He said coldly, "I have to go out of town. If you need anything, contact my assistant. He’ll handle it."

Immediately after saying this, he quickly left the hospital.

Ying Jie let out a sigh, preparing to return to the ward.

But when she turned around, she saw Bo Jingyan’s mother, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. She was standing around the corner, looking pale. She likely had overheard the conversation between her and Bo Jingyan.

"Madam, you..." Ying Jie opened her mouth, trying to comfort her, but before she could speak, Bo Jingyan’s mother unexpectedly collapsed.

Thankfully, they were at the hospital. Bo Jingyan’s mother was quickly rushed into the emergency room.

Ying Jie immediately called Bo Jingyan, but found out his phone was already switched off.

So she didn’t call again. She realized that Bo Jingyan’s decision was firm. He would not spare Shi Qian. He would at most bring a few excellent doctors and arrange for Bo’s mother’s admission to the best hospital.

Without resolving the fundamental issues, even excellent medical facilities would be of no use.

Bringing Bo Jingyan back at this time would only worsen Bo’s mother’s condition.

So, she put her phone away.

...

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Xia Qingtian always made a big deal out of the weekends, as they symbolized that she and Bo Jingyan were making a fresh start.

Once they had started, there could be no going back.

Xia Qingtian sorted out all of her work in advance and specifically told her colleagues to not disturb her, no matter what happened, instructing them to approach the President if they needed anything.

And to make sure that no one could interfere, she booked an entire restaurant for the weekend.

It was going to be just her and Bo Jingyan at dinner time.

To make the meeting feel more formal, she special-ordered some flowers to decorate the restaurant, prepared a romantic candlelit dinner, and even arranged for a violinist.

After everything was set, all that was left was to wait for the male lead to arrive.

Worried that Bo Jingyan might encounter unforeseen circumstances such as not being able to return in time, she decided to call him.

When the call went through, she asked anxiously, "How are things going? Is everything going smoothly?"

Even though she didn’t ask directly, Bo Jingyan understood her implications, "Don’t worry, I am at the airport waiting for my flight, which leaves in half an hour."

As expected, Xia Qingtian could hear the airport announcements over the phone, verifying that he was indeed at the airport.

"That’s good." She breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Bo Jingyan had promised to return and wouldn’t miss her surprise, she couldn’t help but worry.

Since he was now at the airport waiting for his flight, there shouldn’t be any more unexpected problems.

With this thought, Xia Qingtian finally felt relieved.

Bo Jingyan detected her relief, chuckled, and teased, "What? Are you afraid I won’t make it back? That I won’t receive your surprise?"

"Is there a problem with that?" Xia Qingtian retorted.

"No, of course not!" Bo Jingyan was pleased with her candidness. He stopped teasing her and said It with a serious tone, "Actually, I am also eagerly looking forward to the surprise you have prepared for me."

Xia Qingtian, of course, noticed the shift in his tone.

She felt as if her heart was dunked into a bucket of syrup, exuding sweetness throughout, " Then I will wait till you come back for your surprise. You will definitely be pleased."

"Okay." Although it was just one word, Bo Jingyan responded with solemnity.

The two chatted for a little while longer before hanging up.

Before ending the call, Xia Qingtian reminded him, "By the way, when you get back to A City and disembark the plane, please let me know."

That way, she could check the traffic and estimate the time Bo Jingyan would take to get to the restaurant to ensure the timing of her preparations.

She planned to cook the romantic candlelit dinner herself tonight.

If Bo Jingyan couldn’t taste the food, the surprise wouldn’t be perfect. She didn’t want any flaws in her plans for today.

As the time was ticking away and evening was fast approaching, Xia Qingtian’s phone beeped with a new message.

She had a hunch that the message was definitely from Bo Jingyan.

As expected, on opening the message, she saw that Bo Jingyan had informed her that he had landed and would go to the office first, where he’d spent approximately half an hour before rushing to see her.

Xia Qingtian responded with an OK emoji.

Next, she checked the traffic conditions.

The traffic was good, and there were no traffic jams. She carefully calculated the time it would take from the airport to the office and then to the restaurant.

Quickly, she calculated an approximate time and decided when to start cooking.

Bo Jingyan was a gentle person and very considerate.

He knew Xia Qingtian was waiting for him, so after finishing matters at the office, he sent another message to let her know he was on his way.

On receiving the message, Xia Qingtian began to prepare in earnest.

She planned to cook an elaborate feast for dinner that night.

Therefore, she rushed to the restaurant’s kitchen and started preparing for tonight’s dinner. About forty minutes later, wiping the sweat off her forehead, she finished cooking all the dishes.

Glancing at the time, Xia Qingtian thought that Bo Jingyan would be arriving soon.

So she had the restaurant’s waitstaff take the dinner she had prepared out to the table.

She had been cooking in the kitchen for quite a while, and her makeup had already smeared and her clothes smelled of cooking oil.

Fortunately, she had anticipated this situation and had a change of clothes and makeup ready in advance. She rushed into the restroom, changed her clothes, and touched up her makeup.

After everything was set, she looked at herself in the mirror, and seeing no errors, she walked out of the restroom, her heart racing with anticipation.

She sat at the dining table, waiting for Bo Jingyan to arrive.

She guessed it would take him five minutes to arrive.

However, five minutes passed, then ten, but Bo Jingyan was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Qingtian frowned and murmured, "Where is he? Why isn’t he here yet? Is there a traffic jam?"

While she spoke, she checked the traffic situation on her phone. There was indeed a slight traffic jam on the road, which must’ve delayed him. He should be here soon, right?
