Chapter 587: Chapter 587: A Short Separation is as Good as a New Marriage_1

Xia Qingtian walked out of the banquet hall with a terrible mood, the more she thought about it, the more disgusted she felt about Zhu Wei.

Her body had lost balance just now, although she had managed to stay steady by holding onto the table and didn’t allow Zhu Wei to take advantage of her, she still injured her ankle because her heels were too high.

It hurt terribly now!

Just when she was feeling annoyed, she unexpectedly heard Bo Jingyan’s voice.

Xia Qingtian paused for a moment.

How could she hear Bo Jingyan’s voice?

Was he here too?

But given Bo Jingyan’s status and standing, he had no need to attend such a business party. Could she have misheard, or was this just her illusion?

With these thoughts, Xia Qingtian raised her head, filled with doubts, and looked towards the source of the voice.

Then she saw Bo Jingyan, holding her shoes, smiling widely, and walking towards her.

"You, what are you doing here?" Xia Qingtian asked in surprise.

Bo Jingyan made no effort to hide and said directly, "Because I knew that you might be attending today, so I took this opportunity to see you and relieve my longing for you."

Even though Xia Qingtian knew that they had divorced, when she heard Bo Jingyan’s affectionate words, her heart was deeply moved.

She could not remain indifferent to Bo Jingyan, especially after not seeing him for such a long time.

However, she still remembered clearly that they were divorced and had no relationship anymore.

Having this in mind, she didn’t respond.

Bo Jingyan was completely satisfied just by seeing her, even if she remained silent, being by her side silently would not bore him.

Thinking of Xia Qingtian’s earlier gesture of rubbing her ankle, it seemed that she was in pain.

Without minding his image, he directly knelt on one knee in front of Xia Qingtian, lifted her leg, and put it on his knee.

Xia Qingtian was stunned by his act and couldn’t react.

It was not until his somewhat cool fingers slid over her ankle, bringing a wave pain, that she snapped back to reality. Instinctively, she tried to retract her foot.

But Bo Jingyan stubbornly held onto her foot, not letting her pull it back.

"Bo Jingyan, what are you doing?" Xia Qingtian frowned and said irritably, "Let go of me!"

Bo Jingyan looked up at her, "Doesn’t it hurt anymore?"

Xia Qingtian was silent. How could it stop hurting so soon?

Seeing her like this, Bo Jingyan realized that she was still in pain, and a hint of ache flashed in his heart.

"Just be a good girl..." He said indulgently, "Let me see whether you are injured and whether you need to go to the hospital. After checking, I’ll let you go!"

"No need, I can take care of myself." Xia Qingtian refused and attempted to pull her foot back.

"If you don’t cooperate, I don’t mind holding on to you like this indefinitely. After all, I am willing to stay with you." Bo Jingyan warned dominantly.

Xia Qingtian knew that she had to listen to him today.

He was a man who always did what he said.

In the end, she compromised and didn’t struggle any longer but urged him, "Then you better look quickly."

Finally achieving his goal, a hint of amusement flickered in Bo Jingyan’s eyes. Then, he lowered his head to look at the fair, well-proportioned foot resting on his knee.

The ankle was slightly swollen and the worst part was the heel.

Perhaps it was due to wearing new shoes, that had rubbed against her heels and worn them raw.

Seeing the broken skin on her heel, Bo Jingyan’s brow furrowed. Then, he put her foot down and seriously said to her, "Sit here quietly and wait for me, I’ll be back soon."

"Okay." Xia Qingtian replied perfunctorily.

She thought to herself, who are you to tell me to listen to you and wait for you here?

Bo Jingyan was such a clever man. He immediately knew what she was thinking from the look in her eyes. He added, "If you dare not listen to me, don’t blame me for doing something under the public eye at the banquet hall that might cause misunderstandings and doesn’t look too dignified."

"What undignified act?" Xia Qingtian asked instinctively.

Rather than answering her question, Bo Jingyan revealed an inexplicably teasing smile and said, "I don’t want to scare you, so I won’t tell you for now."

Xia Qingtian’s face turned pale.

She knew that Bo Jingyan still loved her and wouldn’t hurt her. But thinking of the teasing smile on his face just now, she didn’t dare to take a risk.

This man was too cunning.

If he directly said what would happen, she might not be frightened.

But him not saying it was the most terrifying. After all, the unknown is always the most terrifying.

"I’ll be back soon." After saying that, Bo Jingyan hurriedly left.

He was a sly fox. Xia Qingtian was accurately manipulated by him. Despite feeling reluctant, she had no choice but to stay where she was and wait for him, daring not to go elsewhere.

She had no idea what Bo Jingyan was planning.

As Xia Qingtian was pondering, she didn’t know how much time had passed when she heard footsteps again.

She looked up and saw Bo Jingyan walking towards her, hurried and slightly sweaty, a rare sight. He was holding a shopping bag in his hand.

She was surprised to see Bo Jingyan in such a dishevelled state.

She asked, "Where have you been?"

Bo Jingyan came to her side, placed the items from his hand on the ground, and then answered, "You’ll know soon."

While speaking, he skillfully knelt again in front of Xia Qingtian, lifted her foot onto his knee, and took out an ice pack from the shopping bag.

His hands clumsily tied the ice pack onto Xia Qingtian’s swollen ankle.

"Ah, it’s so cold!" Xia Qingtian was caught off guard, she shivered and instinctively tried to retract her foot.

However, Bo Jingyan used a bit of a skillful force, not enough to hurt her, but just enough to prevent her from pulling her foot back.

Fearing that Xia Qingtian wouldn’t cooperate, he explained, "I just asked the pharmacist at the drugstore, she said that your ankle sprain is not serious, icing it will be enough. Just bear with it."

Xia Qingtian knew he was doing this for her own good, so she didn’t continue to resist.

After enduring the initial burst of cold, her ankle felt rather comfortable and significantly eased the swelling pain from before.

Seeing that she didn’t struggle anymore, Bo Jingyan asked anxiously, "How does it feel?"
