Chapter 588: Chapter 588 I Still Love You_1

Xia Qingtian looked at Bo Jingyan this way, and suddenly felt a strange emotion brewing within her.

She didn’t answer Bo Jingyan’s question, but instead countered, "Bo Jingyan, why are you being so nice to me?"

"Because..." Bo Jingyan looked up at her with burning intensity, his cold voice holding unspoken depths of affection, "You are my wife!"

Xia Qingtian suddenly felt a pang of melancholy.

She reminded Bo Jingyan, "Have you forgotten? We’re divorced. The moment we walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, we were no longer husband and wife."

But Bo Jingyan was stubborn and dominant, "That was just a legal divorce. In my heart, Xia Qingtian, you will always be Mrs. Bo, my woman!"

"You know it’s impossible. Do you find this amusing?" Xia Qingtian asked helplessly.

Bo Jingyan confidently stated, "Yes, it is amusing. As long as you don’t leave me, I will find it very entertaining."

He was clearly not open to any argument.

So Xia Qingtian didn’t bother to argue further.

In their conversation, the ice pack tied around her ankle had melted, her pain had eased and the swelling had gone down.

"My ankle is fine now, you can let go of me," she said, trying to signal Bo Jingyan to let go of her foot.

Bo Jingyan removed the ice pack from her ankle, but didn’t let go of her foot.

"Relax," he said, and from the shopping bag, he took out an iodine swab and a cotton bud. Gently and meticulously, he applied the iodine onto the abrasion at the back of her foot.

After applying the iodine, he put a band-aid on it.

The same medical care was given to the other foot and another band-aid applied.

When he was done with all these, he took out a pair of soft and comfortable flat shoes from the shopping bag, and fit them on her feet himself. "Try walking a few steps to see how they feel. If they’re uncomfortable, I will get you another pair."

Xia Qingtian instinctively complied.

She got up and took a few steps, the shoes felt soft and comfortable – no friction at all.

"How are they?" Bo Jingyan was waiting for her response.

Xia Qingtian was emotive but against her feelings, she nodded and admitted, "Hmm, these shoes are quite comfortable."

"I’m glad," Bo Jingyan couldn’t help but crack a smile on his usually stoic face.

His satisfaction didn’t seem to be derived from picking a good pair of shoes for Xia Qingtian, but rather from closing a multi-billion dollar deal.

Xia Qingtian pursed her lips, acknowledging the comfort of the new shoes. Then she asked, "So you left just to go buy things for me?"

"Yes," Bo Jingyan nodded in affirmation.

Xia Qingtian felt his sincere intentions and said earnestly, "Thank you."

"I’m more than willing to do anything for you, you don’t have to thank me." Bo Jingyan stared at her while slowly advancing closer.

Xia Qingtian found that his deep gaze was somehow bewitching, she couldn’t look away.

She knew she should repel Bo Jingyan’s advances, but her body seemed to be in a spell, failing to stir any resistance, nor was she able to muster a word of protest.

She could only watch Bo Jingyan draw closer and closer to her.

Finally, she was enveloped by his powerful masculine energy.

Bo Jingyan held one of her hands against his chest, "Qingtian, can you feel it? My heart still beats for you. I am still in love with you."

Of course, Xia Qingtian could feel the rapid heartbeat within his chest.

"Mm," she nodded.

Bo Jingyan held her hand to his lips, gently kissing it and said, "Qingtian, give me a little more time, okay? I will resolve all the difficulties and win you back."

Xia Qingtian found her good sense clouded by his devotion. His eyes flooded her thoughts, all reason and logic gone.

All she could think of was Bo Jingyan kneeling before her, treating her foot injury, and gently helping her with the shoes.

Her heart softened beyond recognition.

At this moment, no matter how outrageous Bo Jingan’s demand, she would not refuse.

And given his deeply intimate confession, there could be no protest.

"Okay." Xia Qingtian subconsciously agreed.

Upon hearing her agreement, a genuine smile appeared on Bo Jingyan’s usually cold and impassive face.

He cupped Xia Qingtian’s chin, drawing their bodies closer until their breaths intermingled and the air around became irresistibly romantic.

"Qingtian, may I?" His voice was a raspy whisper.

Xia Qingtian’s cheeks were flushed, instead of answering him, she gently closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly due to nervousness.

Seeing her response, a burning desire flashed in Bo Jingyan’s deep gaze. He wanted to claim and possess the woman before him.

He began to lean down, inching closer and closer to Xia Qingtian’s lips.

Just as he was about to kiss her, a sudden ring of a mobile phone disrupted the tantalizing atmosphere.

This jarring interruption instantly snapped Xia Qingtian back into reality.

She opened her eyes, startled to see herself in such a compromising position with Bo Jingyan, she felt a brief wave of panic.

She quickly placed her hands on Bo Jingyan’s chest, and took a few steps back, putting some distance between them.

Recalling all that had transpired, her heart pounded in her chest.

Bo Jingyan’s charisma was intoxicating, she was on the verge of doing something she shouldn’t. Thank goodness for the timely phone call that brought her back to her senses.

Xia Qingtian didn’t want to be alone with him any longer. She feared she’d be bewitched yet again and do something beyond her control.

"Thank you for your help tonight," she said. "I have another gathering tonight, so I’ll head back to the reception. I won’t keep you."

Without waiting for Bo Jingyan’s response, she darted off back to the reception hall, like a fleeing rabbit.

She even left behind her expensive high heels.

Agitated by the fail of a potentially pleasant situation, a fleeting shade of irritation flashed through Bo Jingyan’s eyes. He was tempted to chase after the fleeing woman and take advantage of the charged situation.

With the passage of time, he realized his longing for her was etched into his bones.

His heart ached every day from missing her so much.

However, reason eventually prevailed and restrained Bo Jingyan.

The phone call was from his mother. Due to her special circumstances, he had set a distinctive ring tone for her calls. This way, he could identify her calls without checking the caller ID.
