Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Don’t Think About Hiding_1

When Xia Qingtian received a call from the private detective, she felt somewhat nervous.

She took a deep breath before answering, her voice slightly tense as she asked, "How did the investigation go? Do we have a result yet?"

"Yes." The detective said, "After the Zhu Family was released from custody, they disappeared for a day during which they were invited to the residence of Mr. Bo."

Even though Xia Qingtian had mentally prepared herself, hearing the detective’s findings still sent a ripple through her heart.

"What did Bo Jingyan do to the Zhu family?" Xia Qingtian asked, confused.

She wanted to find out what Bo Jingyan had done to make the unreasonable Zhu Family behave so docile.

"I’m sorry, Miss Xia, but Bo brought them to his private estate. All the people there are trusted by him, so I couldn’t find out."

Xia Qingtian was just asking to satisfy her own curiosity, it wasn’t necessary for her to know.

Knowing that all of Zhu Wei’s problems, including the ones related to the Zhu Family, were resolved by Bo Jingyan was satisfying enough for her.

Overall, she was very satisfied with the detective’s professionalism and efficiency.

She generously said, "That’s okay."

For some reason, Xia Qingtian had a premonition that she’d need the detective’s services again, soon. So she planned on doing him a favor, in the hopes that he would be more diligent in his work for her in the future.

Thinking along those lines, she generously stated, "For this investigation, I will pay you an additional 10% as a bonus."

Upon hearing her words, the detective was extremely grateful to her.

After hanging up, Xia Qingtian immediately transferred the money to the detective.

She then walked over to the liquor cabinet, poured herself a glass of alcohol, and finished it in one gulp.

She wiped her red lips and murmured to herself, "Bo Jingyan, what are you thinking? It’s getting harder to understand you. Why are you helping me?"

Of course, no one answered her.

It’s okay, she would find a way to make Bo Jingyan reveal his thoughts himself.

...

Once her company was back on track, Xia Qingtian was no longer as busy.

She decided to address the situation between her and Bo Jingyan.

He had done her such a big favor. She did not know about it before, but now that she did, she couldn’t just pretend like nothing had happened.

Xia Qingtian tried to call Bo Jingyan and suggest meeting up for a chat.

However, Bo Jingyan surprisingly refused, using his workload as an excuse.

Xia Qingtian didn’t believe a single word of his excuse. She knew his capabilities better than anyone else. If he wanted to meet up, no matter how busy he was, he could find the time.

Claiming to be busy was clearly just an excuse to refuse.

And a heartless one at that!

Even though Xia Qingtian realized this was Bo Jingyan’s excuse to refuse her, she didn’t challenge him on it.

She just said calmly, "Okay, I’ll arrange a meeting with you when you’re less busy."

After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Bo Jingyan, on the other end of the phone, heard the busy signal on the line. His hand clenched the phone tighter, his deep eyes flickering with struggle.

Only he knew how much self-control it took for him not to agree to meet up with Xia Qingtian.

Ever since the encounter at the hospital with his mother and Shi Qian, he had been restraining his longing for her in order to protect Xia Qingtian. He had not seen her since.

Yet, this woman was not grateful at all. She had the audacity to call and tempt him to meet with her.

Bo Jingyan truly wanted to agree to meet up right away and pull her into his arms, blending her into his very being.

So they would be inseparable.

Fortunately, she didn’t continue to press him, or he wouldn’t be able to guarantee that he wouldn’t give in to the temptation.

Fortunately, his love and desire to protect Xia Qingtian allowed him to suppress his primitive instincts and impulsiveness.

Bo Jingyan had no idea that Xia Qingtian hanging up the call didn’t mean she’d given up, rather, it meant she decided to use another method.

This man, Bo Jingyan, she had decided she wanted him.

Xia Qingtian knew Bo Jingyan didn’t want to see her, so she waited a couple of days.

After two days, he should have let his guard down, thinking that she had given up, that she no longer wanted to meet him.

At this point, Xia Qingtian launched her own surprise attack.

She didn’t call Bo Jingyan again, but used a little trick to successfully figure out Bo Jingyan’s schedule for the next week from Jian Xuan.

Xia Qingtian looked at the schedule she had in hand.

She knew that Bo Jingyan was attending the Lu Family banquet in two days.

Mr. Lu, the head of the Lu Family was a close friend of Mr. Bo. He had even helped her hide her identity as Shen Qing from Bo Jingyan before she revealed it to him.

She decided to block Bo Jingyan’s path at the Lu Family’s banquet!

Even though she didn’t have an invitation, she was not at all worried. She was certain that there would be a way for her to get in. Meanwhile, she just had to quietly wait until the day of the banquet.

...

Meanwhile.

During her three-day break, Cheng Bingbing personally cooked meals for Huo Qilin every day.

People say, to win a man’s heart, you must first win his stomach.

Huo Qilin did not know if his heart had been won over by Cheng Bingbing, but his stomach had definitely been taken captive, and the three-day holiday was just too short.

Starting tomorrow, Cheng Bingbing was returning to the set to continue filming.

If she got back to filming, it meant she would be back to working from dawn till dusk, and she would no longer have the time to cook for him.

Having been spoiled by Bingbing’s cooking, Huo Qilin felt devastated at the thought of having to return to his daily routine of eating out from the following day.

He didn’t care about writing anymore and lay listlessly on the couch, complaining, "Bingbing, what am I going to do once you leave?"

Watching him like this, Cheng Bingbing felt a growing tenderness in her heart.

She could feel that their relationship had significantly improved during those three days of being together from morning till night.

"Don’t be like this..." she told Huo Qilin tenderly, "If you really can’t stand takeout, I’ll try to come back to cook for you when it’s possible."

Huo Qilin indeed didn’t want to eat takeout.

But he didn’t want Cheng Bingbing to be tired out by having to cook for him right after filming, without taking a break. He would rather eat takeout daily than have Bingbing suffer.

He cared for Bingbing, and, of course, she cared for him.

Cheng Bingbing suggested, "Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll make you some ready-to-eat meals. That way, when I’m not at home, you can eat those. If I ever finish filming early, I’ll come home and cook for you."
