Chapter 676: Chapter 676 Aggressively Teasing Him_1

Xia Qingtian didn’t know whether she should be angry or amused.

She sighed, deciding not to dwell on the matter any longer. She moved on to the main topic, "Anyway, the thing you’re worried about won’t happen. Will you help me or not?"

"Since you’ve already asked, how could I possibly refuse?" Bo Jingyan spoke in a doting tone, "Leave it to me. Once there’s any news, I’ll let you know."

"Okay, I love you!" Xia Qingtian sweetly said to the person on the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing these words, Bo Jingyan’s breath hitched slightly.

"You little siren..." he said through gritted teeth, "You dare to tease me so much just because I’m not in A City. Wait till I get back, I’m going to teach you a lesson."

"How did I ever tease you?" Xia Qingtian blinked. She felt wronged.

What did she do? How did she tease him?

"Just you wait, I’ll settle all matters quickly and rush back to A City!" Bo Jingyan dismissed her protests, treating them as an admission of guilt.

Xia Qingtian was speechless.

"I can’t be bothered with you. I’ll leave the matter of finding Huo Qilin to you. Hurry up," Xia Qingtian said, before hanging up the phone.

Bo Jingyan on the other end of the phone shook his head helplessly.

"This ungrateful woman, hasn’t even crossed the river yet and has already started burning bridges," He said with a gentleness in his eyes despite the harsh words.

Immediately, he called Jian Xuan into his room and instructed him, "Send someone to find Huo Qilin. Let me know as soon as there is news."

Although Jian Xuan did not understand why they needed to find Huo Qilin, he did not question Bo Jingyan and respectfully said, "Alright, I understand."

Bo Jingyan nodded before asking again, "Has the old doctor returned yet?"

The two had left A City to find the old Chinese medicine doctor to examine Bo Jingyan’s mother. Unfortunately, upon their arrival, they found out that the doctor had gone to the mountains to gather herbs with his apprentices. There was no signal in the mountains, so they couldn’t contact him, let alone find him.

As a result, their trip was delayed.

Since no one knew when the old doctor would return, they had to just wait around, for fear that the doctor might go to another mountain next time.

"He should be back soon!" Jian Xuan answered, referencing the ten day turnaround that the old doctor’s apprentices mentioned. The doctor had now been away for seven days.

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan’s expression relaxed slightly.

"Then let’s wait a few more days!" He said, deep voiced.

Just a few more days, and he could return to Xia Qingtian in A City.

Though they had only been separated for about a week, Bo Jingyan missed her terribly.

If it weren’t for the respect he had for the old doctor, he would have sent his men to wait for him while he returned to Xia.

...

Huo Qilin had really hidden himself well this time.

Even though Xia Qingtian had enlisted her trump card, Bo Jingyan, she hadn’t heard anything exciting over the past two days.

Upon returning home from work, she saw Cheng Bingbing anxiously looking at her.

Without waiting for Xia Qingtian to speak, she anxiously asked, "Sis Qingtian, what’s the news? Have you found Qilin?"

Bingbing had spent the last two days calling Huo Qilin, even though he remained unreachable.

Sometimes, she would send him messages to call her, hoping he would see them upon turning on his phone.

Regrettably...

Despite her efforts, she had yet to hear back. His phone remained unreachable, and her messages left unanswered.

"No." Xia Qingtian replied tiredly, taking off her high-heeled shoes.

Cheng Bingbing’s radiant face immediately showed deep worry.

"Sis Qingtian..." she said anxiously, "Do you think something dangerous happened to Qilin? Should we call the police to help find him?"

Bingbing’s mind was filled with scenarios of Huo Qilin in danger. That’s why he couldn’t contact them.

She was genuinely worried!

"Don’t scare yourself. Huo Qilin will be alright." Although Xia Qingtian was anxious for not being able to get in touch with Huo Qilin, she didn’t worry about his safety.

Huo Qilin, after all, was from the Huo family.

In A City, both sides, the lawful and unlawful, respected the Huo family. No one would dare harm the young master of the Huo family.

The reason they couldn’t find Huo Qilin was because he had hidden himself and didn’t want to be found.

"But..." Cheng Bingbing was still worried. Just when she was about to say something further, Xia Qingtian’s phone rang.

She checked it to see that the call was from Bo Jingyan.

Since they had spoken already that day at the office, she guessed that he might have news about Huo Qilin. However, without confirmation, she didn’t want to get Cheng Bingbing’s hopes up and disappoint her later so she decided not to answer it in front of her.

It would be best to wait until they had a definite answer before telling her.

After rationalizing, Xia Qingtian spoke, "Bingbing, don’t overthink it. I need to answer a call."

Cheng Bingbing, oblivious to her thoughts, nodded in agreement though she was restless.

"Alright." she obediently agreed.

Refusing to let her anxiety show, Xia Qingtian walked out to the garden before answering the call.

As soon as the call connected, Bo Jingyan’s somewhat concerned voice reached her, "Why did it take you so long to answer?"

"I was just talking to Bingbing," Xia Qingtian quickly explained, "When I saw your number, I guessed you might have news about Huo Qilin. But since I wasn’t sure, I didn’t want to answer in front of her. Afraid that it might give her false hope and disappoint her."

Bo Jingyan didn’t much care about Bingbing’s situation, only Xia Qingtian’s.

"As long as you’re okay!" His tone relaxed a bit.
