Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Wait Another Three Days_1

Xia Qingtian thought that as long as she figured out why Bo Jingyan missed their meeting that night, she might be able to resolve all the mysteries.

That time, Bo Jingyan disappeared and lost contact several times.

When they met again, it was in a hospital, with Shi Qian by her side.

At that time, she was angry at Bo Jingyan for not showing up, aggravated by Shi Qian stirring things up, and her mind wasn’t clear as she had just recovered from a fever.

She was so caught up in her anger that she never thought about why Bo Jingyan was in the hospital.

Thinking back on the amount of medication Bo’s mother had taken, and remembering the situation back then, a guess was forming in Xia Qingtian’s mind.

Her breathing became unmistakably rapid.

Xia Qingtian took out her phone, promptly called a detective, "Investigate Mrs. Bo’s health condition and her medical records during this period."

Because she was amiable and generous, the private detective immediately agreed to her request.

He even promised to deliver the results in three days.

Xia Qingtian hung up the phone, very satisfied.

Three days!

In just three more days, she could know the answer!

...

Cheng Bingbing returned to the filming crew to shoot scenes.

Huo Qilin, alone at home, felt rather out of sorts, perceiving the whole house as being empty and quiet.

It’s strange that he had always been alone at home before and never felt lonely.

How come after spending three days with Cheng Bingbing at home, he couldn’t get used to being alone?

Since he couldn’t adjust, Huo Qilin didn’t force himself to stay in, grabbed his ice cream, and decided to pay a visit to the filming set. He even figured out an excuse.

It was because the ice cream was missing its mom!

Soon, Huo Qilin was comfortably navigating his way around the filming set.

Given that he had often been picking up and dropping Cheng Bingbing off for work, everyone in the crew was familiar with him, and his presence was of no surprise.

After greeting him, the staff went back to their own tasks.

When Huo Qilin found Cheng Bingbing, she was in the middle of a scene.

The scene was of Cheng Bingbing’s character, a college student, encountering the one she liked. It was the only glimmer of warmth in her tragic life, but also the very thing that pushed her into an abyss.

At that moment, Cheng Bingbing was holding the male actor’s hand, embracing, kissing him.

Seeing this situation, Huo Qilin knew it was just for filming’s sake. Yet, it set off an impulse in him to separate them, not allowing the male actor anywhere near Cheng Bingbing.

He couldn’t bear to see Cheng Bingbing smiling at other men, let alone other men hugging or kissing her.

He knew his feelings were without reason, especially given the fact that they were only pretending to be a couple in front of Xia Qingtian.

Even if they were genuinely dating, Cheng Bingbing was an actress, and this was just part of her job. He couldn’t reasonably interfere.

But Huo Qilin couldn’t control these thoughts. He decided what the eyes don’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve over.

He got back into his car with a poker face, holding his ice cream, waiting for Cheng Bingbing to finish her scenes.

Once Cheng Bingbing had finished her scenes, she found out that Huo Qilin had visited the set. Besides the initial surprise, she was mostly excited. She immediately went looking for him without even taking off her makeup.

She found a sulky Huo Qilin in the car.

Without thinking much about it, she assumed he might be unhappy because he waited a long time.

She climbed into the passenger side, asking him, "Did the wait bore you?"

"A little bit." Unable to explain his feelings from before, Huo Qilin conceded to her.

Understandingly, Cheng Bingbing told him, "It’s always chaotic on set. You don’t necessarily need to visit me."

Her point was that when she was shooting, she was entirely engrossed and barely had any time to rest. Even if Huo Qilin was present, she wouldn’t have the time or energy to attend to him.

Instead of letting him wait around bored, it would be better to let him stay at home comfortably.

Huo Qilin, failing to grasp her hint, replied gruffly, "Why? You don’t want to see me?"

"No." Seeing him misunderstand, Cheng Bingbing blurted out without thinking, "I wish I could see you every day!"

Once she said it, she regretted it!

Oh no, why did she speak her mind?

What would Huo Qilin think?

Cheng Bingbing anxiously observed Huo Qilin for signs of distaste.

Huo Qilin didn’t express anything unusual, nor did he think there was anything wrong with her statement. Constituting a small relief to his previous state of irritation.

The cold expression on his face softened slightly. With a pleased tone, he said, "You sure know how to sweet-talk, I forgive you."

Cheng Bingbing blinked her eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, he didn’t dwell on what she had just said. If he had, she wouldn’t know how to face him now.

Ice cream, being neglected by the two, meowed in dissatisfaction.

Hearing the meow, Cheng Bingbing finally noticed the ice cream.

She quickly took the ice cream from Huo Qilin’s hands, smothered it with kisses as if she couldn’t get enough, until the ice cream was meowing nonstop.

Watching this scene, Huo Qilin’s throat swallowed unconsciously, and he suddenly felt thirsty.

He forced himself to look away, not staring at Cheng Bingbing anymore.

After treating the ice cream to a lengthy session of kisses, Cheng Bingbing finally let it be, then turned to face Huo Qilin and asked, "Do you have anything to do tonight?"

"No, why?" Huo Qilin asked her back.

"Then let me treat you to dinner." Cheng Bingbing enthusiastically responded, "I heard there’re several good restaurants in the film city. I’ve been wanting to try them out, but it’d be weird for me to eat alone. Since you’re here today, I’ll treat you. Consider it a thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Huo Qilin didn’t feel the need for her gratitude.

However, faced with Cheng Bingbing’s dinner invitation, he didn’t object, "Sure."

Once they had decided, they left the ice cream in the car and went out to find food.

The restaurant Cheng Bingbing had mentioned was quite popular and, combined with the number of actors, extras, and staff members from the film city, was already full even though they arrived early. If they wanted to find a seat, they’d have to wait at least two hours.

Finding the situation problematic, Cheng Bingbing turned to Huo Qilin, "What do you think? Should we continue waiting, or just buy some food and cook at home?"

Given Huo Qilin’s choice, he would prefer Cheng Bingbing’s cooking as it gave him a homey feeling.

But she had been shooting scenes all day and must be tired. He did not want to tire her out further, and by her looks, it seemed she really wanted to try the food from this restaurant.
