Chapter 573: Chapter 573 It’s All in the Past_1

At this point, Huo Qilin gave up completely.

He knew that he could no longer confess his feelings to Xia Qingtian, otherwise they wouldn’t even be able to stay friends.

If that were the case, he would rather keep his feelings to himself, stay by her side as a friend, and protect her.

Thinking so, bitterness filled Huo Qilin’s heart. But knowing the answer gave him some relief. He no longer felt the previous anxiety and trepidation.

He put on a relieved expression, jokingly saying, "Haha, luckily, I don’t like you and I have no intention of confessing to you. Otherwise, I would lose a competent agent. That would be disastrous."

Seeing his reaction, Xia Qingtian finally felt relieved.

It seemed that she had been overthinking things before.

It was indeed unlikely that a young, wealthy, talented superstar like Huo Qilin, with millions of fans, would like a married woman who already has a son.

Luckily, she just hinted, without directly asking Huo Qilin, which saved her from extreme embarrassment.

Xia Qingtian also pretended that she had never doubted him, jokingly saying, "As long as you understand."

The matter was smoothly transitioned.

Huo Qilin’s confession plan completely failed. Even without confessing, he didn’t feel much different from a broken relationship. His mood became quite low.

In the past, Qingtian’s office was always a place he could never get enough of.

But now, he couldn’t bear to stay for even a second longer.

Desperate, he wanted to find a quiet place to heal his wounds.

"Well, I just came here for a bit of chit-chat. Now that we’ve finished chatting, I won’t bother you anymore," Huo Qilin tried to act nonchalant and said, "I’ll leave first."

As he spoke, he turned around, ready to leave.

Because he was somewhat distracted, he completely forgot about the bouquet of roses hidden behind him.

At that moment, when he turned around, the bouquet of red roses was fully exposed to Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian looked at the stunningly beautiful roses in surprise, "Your flowers..."

At this, Huo Qilin, who was on the verge of leaving, stopped in his tracks, his body freezing.

Damn, he had completely forgotten about the roses.

What now?

Should he say that the flowers were for her?

How would that be any different from straight-up confessing to her?

At this moment, Huo Qilin’s mind went blank out of the blue.

Luckily, he thought of an excuse on the spot, "Oh, I bought these flowers downstairs just now. I have nothing to do today, so I plan to visit Bingbing on set. I can’t go empty-handed, so I bought a bouquet of flowers. How is it? She won’t blame me for lack of sincerity, right?"

His explanation was plausible.

Xia Qingtian thought of Cheng Bingbing’s feelings for him. Even if he showed up empty-handed, let alone send roses, she would be very happy.

"No, as long as you go, Bingbing will be able to feel your sincerity." She encouraged.

"Good." Huo Qilin dared not linger longer, fearing that he would leak out any flaws and Xia Qingtian might see his true feelings. He quickly said, "Then I will go to the set to find Bingbing."

"Okay, go ahead." Xia Qingtian nodded.

Huo Qilin quickly left the office at his fastest speed.

Xia Qingtian watched his somewhat panicked retreat, shaking her head slightly at the needless haste. "Why run so fast? There’s no ghost chasing you."

After muttering to herself, she dismissed the thought and began her busy day.

For the next few days, Xia Qingtian was very busy.

She was so busy that she didn’t have the heart to think about Bo Jingyan.

Not until this day, after she finished work for the day and was ready to relax with a cup of coffee.

Just then, a schedule reminder popped up on her phone.

Xia Qingtian picked up her phone, opened the schedule, and froze, staring at the phone for a long time, unable to recover.

Because the phone reminded her that her cooling-off period for the divorce from Bo Jingyan was almost over.

In two more days, they would be eligible for a divorce certificate.

Thinking of Bo Jingyan, Xia Qingtian’s heart still hurt, given all they had been through. The past was not easily released.

However, although she would be sad, she would not be devastated or self-destructive.

Such a long entanglement was also really exhausting for her.

The fact that there was finally closure was actually quite nice.

Xia Qingtian wanted to call Bo Jingyan to remind him to remember to go to the civil affairs bureau to collect the divorce certificate together in two days. She just instinctively dialed his number on the phone.

But just as she was about to press the call button, she suddenly thought of something -

Bo Jingyan might not have taken her out of the blacklist yet.

So, she deleted the number and used the company’s landline instead.

She dialed Bo Jingyan’s number, and since he didn’t answer strange calls, the phone rang for quite a while. Just when it was about to hang up automatically, it finally went through.

"Who?" Bo Jingyan asked.

Even on the phone, his voice somewhat distorted, the coldness in his tone was still clearly discernible, almost freezing the person on the other end of the line.

Thinking back to his icy tone, which had melted because of her, a wave of longing swept through her heart.

"Speak!" Bo Jingyan grew impatient after waiting for a reply for a while. Thinking it was a prank call, his tone got even colder, "Otherwise, I’ll hang up."

Xia Qingtian finally snapped out of it.

"It’s me!" She didn’t introduce herself, believing Bo Jingyan would know who she was.

Sure enough, the man who was cold just moments ago, lost his breath suddenly. Even his voice softened.

"Qingtian?" Bo Jingyan asked cautiously, "Why would you call me?"

Ever since the incident with Huo Qilin and the comeback of Shi Qian, they had lost contact with each other.

His longing for Xia Qingtian was undoubtedly deep-seated.

But because of the past and his mother’s illness, he felt stuck in the mud. He didn’t want to drag Xia Qingtian into it, so even if he missed her, he was desperately restraining himself.

He knew he had made two very outrageous decisions in the past. Xia Qingtian must be very angry, and he couldn’t give a reasonable explanation She must be very angry.

He was prepared not to meet or contact her until he dealt with his mother’s situation.

But surprisingly, Xia Qingtian called him proactively today.
