Chapter 627: Chapter 627 Give Me A Little More Time_1

Elsewhere.

After hanging up the phone with a gloomy expression, Bo Jingyan looked up to meet the curious gaze of his mother and Shi Qian.

"Brother Jingyan, who was on the phone?" Shi Qian asked tentatively.

Bo Jingyan replied expressionlessly, "A client."

Ever since the last time she found him in the hospital with Xia Qingtian, his mother and Shi Qian had kept a close eye on him. Every evening, they would call him to come home for dinner.

It was clear that they didn’t want him to have any contact with Xia Qingtian, but they dressed it up as concern for his health. They had the household chef make stomach-soothing soup and insisted that he come home to consume it, to ensure that he ate his meals on time.

To avoid any hassle and to keep his mother’s condition from deteriorating further, Bo Jingyan pretended not to understand her intention and cooperated.

The reason he treated Xia Qingtian so coldly over the phone was merely to avoid showing any cracks in his facade for his mother or Shi Qian to see.

Otherwise, they might cause trouble for Xia Qingtian again.

He knew that Xia Qingtian didn’t like being bothered by them!

"Really?" Shi Qian seemed doubtful.

Although she had not seen the caller ID, and Bo Jingyan had a cold expression throughout the call.

But she clearly noticed Bo Jingyan’s suppressed emotions and tenderness flashing across his face when he saw the caller ID, which was completely unlike the way he would treat a client.

Bo Jingyan lifted his face, his sharp gaze landing on Shi Qian as he asked, "Do you want to check my call records?"

His voice sounded very calm, but it carried an immense pressure.

Shi Qian had a feeling that the call was from Xia Qingtian. She wanted to check his call records, but she didn’t dare. She could only look to his mother for help, she may not dare to check but his mother surely would.

His mother frowned, "Enough, let’s eat!"

After hearing Bo Jingyan’s reprimands at the hospital last time, she had seriously reflected on her behavior.

Mobile phones were now very private belongings; looking through someone’s phone was like invading their privacy. Bo Jingyan hadn’t done anything wrong, he merely answered a call.

She would certainly not brazenly invade his privacy by checking his mobile.

Shi Qian was still unwilling to let go.

Remembering Bo Jingyan’s reactions during the call, she was growing more and more suspicious that the phone call was from Xia Qingtian.

Even though Bo Jingyan was summoned to the old house for dinner by his mother every night, she still felt unsatisfied, wishing she could spend twenty-four hours a day with him.

If she could prove that the call was from Xia Qingtian, it would mean that Xia Qingtian was still clinging to Bo Jingyan, and she could then have an excuse to linger around Bo Jingyan by claiming to be monitoring him for his mother.

The more Shi Qian thought about it, the more excited she became.

"Mother Bo, you..." she wanted to persuade her mother.

"No talking while eating, or before bedtime!" His mother cut her off.

Shi Qian was silenced, unable to utter a word.

Bo Jingyan could not bear to see Shi Qian for another minute. If it weren’t for his mother’s sake, he would have driven her away long ago.

He ate his meal quickly with a stern face.

"I’m full. I have an international video conference to attend, I’ll go to my study now." He elegantly put down his bowl and stood up to leave without waiting for Shi Qian or his mother to say anything.

After he left, Shi Qian couldn’t restrain herself anymore, and said resentfully, "Mother Bo, I suspect that the call just now was from Xia Qingtian. Why didn’t you check Brother Jingyan’s phone?"

"Qianqian..." His mother sighed helplessly, "Jingyan is not a criminal, we have no reason to go through his phone. He won’t be happy about it."

Shi Qian was unhappy. She felt that it was his mother’s indecisiveness that prevented her from controlling her own son, even though she was his mother.

She had already expressed her desire to become her daughter-in-law in front of the media.

However, so much time had passed and she was not only far from marrying Bo Jingyan, they weren’t even engaged.

No matter how dissatisfied she felt, Shi Qian knew she could not let it show, as she still needed his mother’s support.

With this in mind, she put on a sincere and pitiful expression and said, "Mother Bo, I’m just too worried about Brother Jingyan, I only lost control because of that, please don’t blame me!"

His mother lovingly stroked her head, and said in a gentle voice, "Silly girl, I see you as my own daughter, how could I blame you?"

Shi Qian pretended to be pleasantly surprised and leaned against her.

"Mother Bo, I knew you love me the most!" she said sweetly.

A softer expression appeared on his mother’s face, but her eyes flashed with an unexplainable sadness.

...

Meanwhile.

Upon returning to his study, Bo Jingyan didn’t attend any international video conference.

The only reason he mentioned a meeting was to escape from Shi Qian and his mother, their presence made him feel suffocated and oppressed.

He looked at the call record of his less than two-minute long conversation with Xia Qingtian, feeling an impulse to call her back and explain everything.

In the end, Bo Jingyan held back!

Even if he explained everything now, what would it accomplish?

As long as his mother’s health did not improve and she did not accept Xia Qingtian, they could not be together.

Of course, he also knew that as long as their feelings for each other were mutual, Xia Qingtian would be fearless and not afraid of his mother’s obstacles. However, he couldn’t bear it.

Xia Qingtian was a woman he wanted to cherish and pamper.

Bo Jingyan could not bear it if she suffered any grievances. Especially since they were caused by him.

He finally understood. The most important thing for him now was not to think about reconciling with Xia Qingtian, but to cure his mother’s disease first.

Only when his mother had fully recovered, could he start over with Xia Qingtian without any worries.

With such thoughts, Bo Jingyan immediately exited the call record and made another call out, asking his staff to find a specialist to treat leukemia and to bring the person to A City at all costs.

It was only after making these arrangements that he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he stood up, walked to the window and whispered, "Qingtian, give me some time. I will sort everything out."

...

Elsewhere.

Xia Qingtian was completely unaware of Bo Jingyan’s emotional turmoil.

After making the call, she had indeed felt disappointed for a moment.

But she quickly adjusted her mood.
