Chapter 614: Chapter 614: The Cunning Young Master _1

Xia Qingtian hit the gas and got Bo Jingyan to the hospital in just five minutes.

After examining him, the doctor found that he had acute gastritis.

The cause was his irregular eating habits, often skipping meals. If this problem was not addressed, it could potentially turn into cancer in the future.

Once the cause of his illness was identified, Bo Jingyan was admitted for hospital treatment and was taken to a VIP ward.

After hooking him up to an IV, the doctor left.

Although Bo Jingyan’s illness had been diagnosed and he was receiving IV fluids, it would take some time for the pain to ease.

His face was still pale at the moment.

Xia Qingtian, watching him from the sidelines, felt heartbroken. All she could do was watch helplessly as her eyes welled up and her nose stung.

Bo Jingyan turned his head to see her tear-ridden state. While he felt sympathy for her, he also felt glad in his heart.

The fact that Xia Qingtian was so upset about him showed that he still held a very important place in her heart.

Unable to help himself, he reached out, took Xia Qingtian’s hand, and said, "Don’t be upset. I’m fine."

Xia Qingtian’s hand was suddenly taken hold of, and she didn’t dare to struggle.

That was because Bo Jingyan was holding her hand with the one that had the IV in. If she struggled, she was worried that the needle might fall out of his blood vessel or that there might be a backflow of blood.

So, she just let him hold her hand, then she looked at him and asked, "The doctor says your acute gastritis is caused by not eating regularly. Why won’t you eat properly?"

"Because everything I eat is tasteless. I can’t be bothered to eat." Bo Jingyan replied.

He might be able to fool others with this lie, but he didn’t fool Xia Qingtian.

"You’re lying," Xia Qingtian glared at him, "You hate lies the most. How could you learn to lie? You’ve been unable to taste anything for a while now. Despite this, you used to eat properly for the sake of your health and nutrition. Why have you suddenly started skipping meals because of this?"

Seeing that he couldn’t fool her, Bo Jingyan was somewhat helpless.

"Alright, actually it’s because I have no appetite." He finally admitted.

Xia Qingtian pursed her lips, then asked with a hint of bitterness in her heart, "Is your loss of appetite because of me?"

Part of it was her, but Bo Jingyan didn’t want her to take all the responsibility, so he immediately said, "It has nothing to do with you. It’s about my mother and Shi Qian."

"What’s wrong with them?" Xia Qingtian asked confusedly.

She wanted to find out why Bo Jingyan was acting so strange so she can fix the problem. Like this, he shouldn’t fall sick from acute gastritis due to skipping meals again.

"Let’s not talk about these mood-killing things." Bo Jingyan didn’t intend to elaborate and moved on to another topic, fearing that she will keep probing. "I’m a bit sleepy now, could you stay with me for a while?"

On hearing his words, Xia Qingtian looked at him closely.

She realized that Bo Jingyan didn’t want to talk about Shi Qian and his mother’s issues. It reminded her of his reaction each time he was pressed about his hidden issues. The resemblance was striking.

Could it be...

Are his hidden issues related to Shi Qian and his mother?

Xia Qingtian wanted to ask him directly, but the question couldn’t pass her lips in the end.

She imagined that he would not reveal his secret, even if she asked. After all, he would prefer to divorce her rather than break his vow to keep his secret.

With that in mind, she gave up the idea, instead of wasting her breath.

Bo Jingyan didn’t want to speak up, but she could have someone investigate it secretly.

After letting go of any concern, Xia Qingtian took off her shoes, acted like nothing happened, and lay down next to Bo Jingyan.

After laying down, she took his hands and looked closely.

So many things happened previously, she almost forgot that she came here to check Bo Jingyan’s hand for burns and to deliver some burn ointment.

But when she checked both of his hands, she couldn’t find any signs of burns.

Xia Qingtian became a little puzzled.

She clearly remembered the servant mentioning a burn on his wrist.

Why wasn’t there any burn?

Did the maid make a mistake, or had she remembered it wrong?

Seeing her examining his hands so thoroughly, Bo Jingyan was unable to sleep.

"What are you doing?" He asked, opening his eyes in resignation.

Since she couldn’t find any burn, Xia Qingtian had no choice but to ask the person in question. "Where is your burn? I can’t find it."

"I don’t have a burn!" Bo Jingyan replied.

"Impossible!" Xia Qingtian assumed that he was trying to hide it from her to prevent her from worrying. Pointedly, she stated, "The maid at home has already told me, so don’t continue to hide it from me."

Bo Jingyan tightened his hold on her and chuckled, "If the maid hadn’t told you that, would you have come to see me?"

Xia Qingtian’s eyes widened in surprise, "Did you bribe the maid?"

"No." Bo Jingyan denied.

Xia Qingtian was taken aback, "Then why would the maid listen to you?"

Bo Jingyan answered calmly, "I just hinted to her a few times, and I wasn’t worried that she wouldn’t tell you."

Xia Qingtian gave him a thumbs up, "You’re so scheming!"

"It’s worth it for you!" Bo Jingyan looked intensely at her.

Xia Qingtian felt her heartbeat quicken under his gaze. Suddenly, the temperature in the sickroom seemed to rise mysteriously, and an ambiguous atmosphere took over.

She could clearly hear her heartbeat pounding at a rapid pace.

Bo Jingyan couldn’t help but lean closer to her.

Their breaths tangled and they moved closer, raising the room’s heat.

But the moment Bo Jingyan was about to kiss her, Xia Qingtian abruptly came to her senses, put her hand on his chest, and said, "Wait a moment..."

"What’s the matter?" Bo Jingyan’s voice held a hint of displeasure as his move was interrupted.

Xia Qingtian was now completely sober and not swayed by him. She stated clearly, "Bo Jingyan, we are divorced. You shouldn’t overstep any boundaries."

Bo Jingyan chuckled, his voice full of cunning. "We are already lying on the same bed. Isn’t it a bit late to say this?"

Xia Qingtian was determined to prevent any further intimate actions between them.

Upon hearing him say this, she retorted right back, "Since it’s like this, I will leave your bed immediately."

His smile faded away at her words, causing Bo Jingyan’s face to darken.

"Let go, I need to get up." Xia Qingtian struggled to push him away.
