Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder_1

Xia Qingtian started talking about the matter at hand, asking Cheng Bingbing, "Did you reach out to Qilin like I asked you to? Where is he at the moment? When will he return to the company?"

Cheng Bingbing barely shook her head, looking grim.

Speaking in a dispirited tone, she said, "Qilin’s phone is off, I can’t reach him."

Xia Qingtian felt a surge of irritation, but she didn’t vent it on Cheng Bingbing.

She knew clearly, this incident had nothing to do with Cheng Bingbing.

The only reason she was embroiled in this part of the matter was that Huo Qilin had implicated her.

"It’s okay, you don’t need to worry about it anymore. I’ll find a way to track down Qilin," she toned down her emotions and calmly added, "You’ve had quite a fright today, you should head home and rest."

However, Cheng Bingbing was quite concerned about Huo Qilin and was reluctant to leave just yet.

"Qingtian, let me stay and help you find Qilin." She suggested hesitantly.

Xia Qingtian did not agree, "A City is huge and finding someone in it, is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Especially if Qilin is intentionally avoiding us. Plus, you’re pregnant and shouldn’t be overworking yourself."

Cheng Bingbing absentmindedly touched her slightly protruding belly and didn’t insist anymore.

All she said to Xia Qingtian was, "Qingtian, if you get any updates on Qilin, you must tell me right away."

"Rest assured," Xia Qingtian promised.

Only then did Cheng Bingbing reluctantly leave the company.

After Cheng Bingbing’s departure, Xia Qingtian didn’t go out darting blindly in search of Huo Qilin with no leads.

She is not that foolish!

She’s a person with a super-secret weapon after all!

That secret weapon is—

Bo Jingyan!

In A City, Bo Jingyan isn’t just wealthy, but also has a complex network of connections. To find someone in A City, asking him for help could be a huge advantage.

If this were the past, Xia Qingtian would’ve been wary and reluctant to bother Bo Jingyan.

But times have changed.

They’ve made up, and they are one. Seeking help from her boyfriend when she’s in trouble is a natural thing to do, right?

With this mindset, Xia Qingtian did not hesitate to call Bo Jingyan.

The call connected after just one ring.

It was hard not to suspect that Bo Jingyan was anticipating her call.

"Jingyan..." thinking about this, her heart softened, and she called out in a soft voice.

However, Bo Jingyan merely grunted, sounding rather peeved.

"What happened?" Xia Qingtian asked, somewhat perplexed. "Who was brazen enough to upset our Mr. Bo?"

"Who else but you?" Bo Jingyan answered coldly. "If anyone else had dared to upset me, Jian Xuan would’ve had them thrown into the sea to feed the fish long ago."

"Huh?" Xia Qingtian blinked, looking clueless.

How could she have possibly upset Bo Jingyan?

Seeing her oblivious to her wrongdoings, Bo Jingyan had to remind her, "You said you’d call me after you were done with your work. Instead, I’ve been waiting for your call almost an entire day."

Upon hearing his words, Xia Qingtian was torn between laughing and crying.

She’d never expected things to get so serious, causing her to waste a lot of time.

Yet, what surprised her even more was Bo Jingyan had been waiting for her call all along — just as she had suspected. It’s no wonder her call was picked up instantly.

Even though she felt that keeping Bo Jingyan waiting for a day had been due to irresistible factors.

Thinking of him patiently waiting for her call, but not receiving one made her heartache and she stopped fretting over trivial things.

"Okay, I know I was wrong. Don’t be angry," Xia Qingtian said placatingly. "I promise not to ignore you for so long ever again!"

Bo Jingyan was not really angry to begin with, and seeing her soothe his temper was enough for him to let it go.

However, he didn’t show it and kept his tone icy, "You think a few words can quench my anger?"

Xia Qingtian asked in a coquettish tone, "So what do you want then?"

"Hmmm..." Bo Jingyan’s tone insinuated a smidge of devilishness, "Wait till I’m back, let me punish you properly. I’ll decide the punishment, and you can’t refuse!"

Given her understanding of Bo Jingyan, this so-called punishment was surely not going to be gentle.

Yet, she didn’t refuse.

After all, regardless of what the punishment was, Bo Jingyan wouldn’t ever harm her. Besides, she needed his help with the Huo Qilin matter.

With these thoughts in mind, Xia Qingtian pretended she didn’t see his malicious intentions.

"Okay, I agree," she obliged.

Bo Jingyan was quite pleased with her response. Even the tone of his voice appeared to be warmer, "What happened that kept you busy the whole day?"

Xia Qingtian was about to ask him for help anyway, so she didn’t hold back on telling him everything.

Immediately after, she followed up with her request, "I can’t locate Qilin right now. Could you please send someone to track him down?"

"So it was him that kept you busy all day, leaving you with no time for me!" Bo Jingyan’s tone was rather weird and even seemed a bit sour.

Xia Qingtian immediately realized, he was jealous.

"Comrade Bo Jingyan..." she said, fighting back laughter, "Getting jealous over everything will only harm you. Don’t forget, Qilin is attached now. You seriously think I’d snatch someone else’s man, especially since he’s one of my artists and a friend?"

She frankly felt that Bo Jingyan was being unreasonable.

It was understandable when he used to be jealous of Huo Qilin in the past.

After all, their relationship wasn’t great back then and Huo Qilin was single. But now that their relationship had improved significantly, they were inseparable.

Furthermore, Huo Qilin had a girlfriend, so continuing to be jealous seemed a bit excessive.

Bo Jingyan knew he shouldn’t be feeling jealous, but he struggled controlling it, "You have me now, of course, I know you won’t give any other men a second glance or be interested in them. But you’re so excellent, who knows if other men might fall for you."

Xia Qingtian was lost for words. Bo Jingyan’s perception of her was, indeed, beyond perfection.

She admitted her looks were passable and she had certain good qualities. However, Cheng Bingbing was not any less attractive. In fact, she was far more beautiful and kind, and the kind of gentleness no man could deny.

If she were a man, she would definitely be attracted to Cheng Bingbing.

How could Huo Qilin possibly fall for someone else when he had such an exceptional girlfriend?
