Chapter 641: Chapter 641 Finding Clues_1

"No!" A trace of struggle flashed in Bo Jingyan’s eyes, "I can’t do it!"

Xia Qingtian’s expression had become somewhat restless as well.

"Then do you want to start over with me?" She looked into Bo Jingyan’s eyes, seriously inquiring his opinion.

Bo Jingyan suddenly became very silent.

He really wished to agree, but his reason told him that this was not a good time.

If he agreed, he would only drag Xia Qingtian into a bottomless mire, to endure the pain and torment with him. This was not the outcome he wanted to see.

However, Xia Qingtian didn’t give him a chance to evade.

"Bo Jingyan, if you still have me in your heart and want to start over with me, then be honest with me. Instead of keeping me at arm’s length, do you know how painful and conflicted this makes me feel?"

A glint of sorrow flashed in Bo Jingyan’s eyes, but he still chose to remain silent.

"I’ll ask you one last time, do you really want to start over with me? If you do, no matter what, I’ll face it with you. If not, then please don’t meddle in my affairs anymore." Xia Qingtian stared at him unblinkingly, her tone resolute.

She detested this sort of unclear relationship.

They should either be together or apart; she would not accept this ambiguous relationship.

In the end, all Bo Jingyan could say was, "Qingtian, give me a bit more time!"

"You always ask for more time, why should I give you more time?" Xia Qingtian looked bored. "You need to give me a reason."

"I....." Just as Bo Jingyan was about to say something, suddenly...

Footsteps echoed over.

Xia Qingtian did not pay much attention to the footsteps, but Bo Jingyan’s face changed as if he was facing a great enemy. He reached out, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into the bushes behind them.

The tall bushes completely hid the two of them.

Then, the sound of the footsteps grew louder and closer until they reached the place where they had once been.

When Xia Qingtian peeked through the shrubbery, she discovered it was two familiar faces:

Mrs. Bo and Shi Qian!

Xia Qingtian furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. She couldn’t understand why she and Bo Jingyan had to hide when Shi Qian and Mrs. Bo came, they hadn’t done anything wrong.

She pushed Bo Jingyan away, wanting to come out.

However, Bo Jingyan firmly pulled her arm, preventing her from moving.

Xia Qingtian glared at him in annoyance, "You...."

Before she could finish her sentence, a calloused hand covered her mouth, silencing her.

Bo Jingyan lowered his voice and moved closer to her ear, whispering something that only she could hear: "Don’t make a sound, we can’t let them see us together."

Xia Qingtian tried to push his hand away but didn’t succeed.

Hearing Bo Jingyan’s words, she widened her eyes, her gaze filled with rebellion. Why should she?

Seeing her reaction, Bo Jingyan decided to reveal a part of the reason to get her to cooperate, "Because if Shi Qian sees us, she’ll definitely scheme against you. And for some reasons, I can’t deal with her right now. I don’t want you to get hurt."

While he helped Xia Qingtian deal with Zhu Wei, he accidentally discovered that Zhu Wei’s disregard for his own life when targeting Xia Qingtian was aided by Shi Qian’s handiwork.

He wanted to teach Shi Qian a harsh lesson.

But Shi Qian was sly; she learned about Zhu Wei’s accident ahead of time and knew that Bo Jingyan was involved, which indicated her own exposure was imminent.

She immediately sought Mrs. Bo’s protection.

Due to Mrs. Bo’s illness and her affection for Shi Qian, as if she were her unborn daughter, Mrs. Bo would protect Shi Qian no matter what; which left Bo Jingyan unable to act against her.

For Shi Qian, Mrs. Bo was currently her pardon from demise.

No matter how much he wanted to deal with Shi Qian, he had to consider Mrs. Bo, which made him helpless against Shi Qian.

Thus, in order to protect Xia Qingtian, he had to keep his distance from her. Otherwise, who knows what appalling things Shi Qian, who had a pardon from demise, would do next?

Although he could protect Xia Qingtian, there was a saying, "One can’t guard against thieves every day."

Bo Jingyan was afraid that a moment of carelessness would let Shi Qian succeed.

If that day ever comes, even if he killed Shi Qian out of anger, he couldn’t change anything.

Instead of regretting later, it would be better to nip all risks and dangers in the bud from the onset.

After hearing Bo Jingyan’s words, Xia Qingtian’s tightly knitted eyebrows didn’t relax. Instead, they became more tensed.

Something was wrong!

Something was definitely wrong!

Bo Jingyan’s attitude towards Shi Qian was highly suspicious!

Shi Qian was an orphan whose present status was entirely reliant on the Bo Family. Without the Bo family, what would she amount to?

Logically, it should be as easy as squashing an ant for Bo Jingyan to deal with Shi Qian.

But now, she could detect a sense of fear from Bo Jingyan towards Shi Qian, like she was someone untouchable.

Could it be...?

Does Shi Qian have a special identity?

Puzzled, Xia Qingtian was lost in thought when...

Mrs. Bo spoke, "Qianqian, didn’t you say that you saw Xia Qingtian pestering Jingyan over here? Where are they?"

"I really did see them." Shi Qian answered, sounding somewhat guilty.

"Really?" Mrs. Bo looked at her with skepticism.

Shi Qian lowered her eyes, admittedly, she hadn’t seen them.

Some thoughtless person had stained her dress. When she finished cleaning the wine stain from her dress in the restroom, she immediately started looking for Bo Jingyan.

Unfortunately, he was nowhere to be found.

She ran into a waiter on her way and casually asked him.

To her surprise, the waiter not only knew Bo Jingyan but had also seen him earlier. Just as she was about to go looking for him, she was warned that Mr. Bo was currently dating a woman there.

The waiter even claimed to have seen Bo Jingyan hugging the woman!

Upon hearing this, Shi Qian’s face changed.

Some woman dared to flirt with Bo Jingyan!

She was so furious; she wished she could tear the woman apart then and there. But she knew she had neither the status nor the right to do so.

If she confronted them, not only would Bo Jingyan not help her, he might even express his disgust towards her.

Then, wouldn’t she lose face in front of the other woman?

With this thought, she immediately overcame her murderous impulse.
