Chapter 682: Chapter 682 He Realized His Mistake_1

Facing Cheng Bingbing’s request, Xia Qingtian subconsciously wanted to agree.

"Of course, yo..." She was only halfway through when she suddenly realized that Huo Qilin least wanted to see Cheng Bingbing at the moment. It was better not to let Cheng Bingbing provoke him.

With that thought, she immediately swallowed the rest of her words and said instead, "His current mood is not particularly good, there are some things that he hasn’t figured out, so he wants some alone time. After he figures it out, he will take the initiative to find you."

Cheng Bingbing was somewhat dumbfounded.

She couldn’t believe she found Huo Qilin but was unable to visit him.

She couldn’t help but wonder, was Huo Qilin really okay?

Could it be that Xia Qingtian was telling a well-intentioned lie so she wouldn’t worry?

The doubt in Cheng Bingbing’s eyes was so obvious that Xia Qingtian couldn’t ignore it even if she wanted to.

"Bingbing, do you not even trust me now?" She sighed helplessly, understanding that pregnant women tend to overthink things. To reassure her, she promised, "Give me one more day, I promise Huo Qilin will appear in front of you the day after tomorrow. You should be reassured now, right?"

"Really?" Cheng Bingbing looked at her expectantly.

"Of course!" Xia Qingtian replied, "I always do as I say, I wouldn’t lie to you!"

Cheng Bingbing realized that Xia Qingtian had noticed her doubt earlier. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she said, "Sister Qingtian, it’s not that I don’t trust you. I’m just really worried about Qilin."

Xia Qingtian nodded in understanding, "I understand."

Even though the romantic relationship between Huo Qilin and Cheng Bingbing was a sham, Cheng Bingbing’s feelings for him were genuine.

"Thank you!" Cheng Bingbing finally uttered two words that contained all her emotions.

She was grateful that Xia Qingtian helped her find Huo Qilin’s whereabouts and understood her feelings.

"We don’t need to say things like that..." Xia Qingtian patted her shoulder and said, "It’s getting late now, you should go back and rest. If you don’t get a good sleep, you won’t be able to cover the dark circles under your eyes with foundation. I wouldn’t be able to explain it to Huo Qilin, after all, he had repeatedly instructed me to take good care of you."

Cheng Bingbing’s face flushed, "I’ll go rest now."

After she finished speaking, she disappeared as if something terrifying was chasing her.

Xia Qingtian shook her head and laughed, then went to take a bath. After checking on the already sleeping An’an, she went to her room to rest. She was exhausted from running around all day.

However, she couldn’t sleep for long because Huo Qilin’s issue had not been resolved.

The next morning, her alarm clock rang just after dawn.

When Xia Qingtian was woken by the alarm, her head was still buzzing from lack of sleep. She really wanted to continue sleeping, but in the end, reason overcame her sleepiness.

With great difficulty, she opened her eyes, climbed out of bed, freshened up and went out.

When she left the house, the day had just broken.

She couldn’t help but laugh at herself. She had now become a capitalist, but she was working harder than ever, waking up earlier than a rooster and sleeping later than a dog.

Feeling groggy along the way, she finally arrived at Bo Jingyan’s duplex in the city center.

When she arrived, Huo Qilin was still in bed, drowsing.

And Bo Jingyan’s subordinate, Xiaozhang, was still faithfully guarding him.

When Xiaozhang saw her, he immediately saluted, "Young Madam, why are you here so early?"

"I have something to do today..." Xia Qingtian noticed the dark circles under his eyes, clearly a sign that he had faithfully guarded Huo Qilin all night long, and said, "I’m here now, you can leave the rest to me, you should go back and rest."

This time, Xiaozhang did not refuse, as his task was already completed.

After Xiaozhang left, Xia Qingtian was extremely tired, but she didn’t let herself fall asleep. Thinking that she hadn’t had breakfast yet, she went to the kitchen to make some simple noodles for herself.

Soon, her noodles were ready.

She was preparing to bring the noodles to the dining room when she turned around and saw a person standing behind her. She was so scared that she trembled, almost dropping the bowl of noodles she was holding.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and saw that it was Huo Qilin who had just woken up. She stabilized the bowl in her hand.

"You’re awake?" Xia Qingtian walked over and handed him the noodles. "This bowl of noodles is for you, I’ll make another one."

After saying that, she turned around and started making more noodles.

Thanks to Huo Qilin’s sudden appearance, her sleepiness was completely scared away. Now she was very energetic.

Quickly, she skillfully cooked another bowl of noodles for herself, and then brought it to the dining room.

At this moment, Huo Qilin sat straight up in the dining room, looking somewhat dazedly at the bowl of noodles on the table, showing no intention of eating.

Seeing his reaction, Xia Qingtian raised her eyebrows in surprise, a flash of confusion passing through her eyes.

But it was not the time to talk, so she didn’t inquire further, and just walked over to sit across from him.

When she remembered the copious empty liquor bottles in the room where she found Huo Qilin, she knew he had been drinking every day for the past couple of days without eating properly.

She tapped on the table and reminded him, "The noodles I made are for eating, not for looking at. Eat quickly or they will get sticky."

Hearing her words, Huo Qilin picked up his chopsticks and started eating fervently, wolfing down the noodles.

Seeing that he started eating, Xia Qingtian didn’t care about his manners and began eating as well.

The dining room became quiet except for the sounds of the two of them eating noodles.

It didn’t take long for them both to finish eating.

Xia Qingtian took the bowls back to the kitchen, put them in the dishwasher along with the used pots and left it to wash. When she came out from the kitchen, she saw that Huo Qilin maintained the same position as he had before, without having moved at all.

"You..." She pointed at Huo Qilin and said, "Follow me."

With that, she walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

For a moment, Huo Qilin’s body stiffened, but quickly relaxed again. What had to come would come eventually, running away was useless.

With that thought, there was a flash of determination in his eyes. He went to Xia Qingtian with an air of resignation.

Seeing him coming over, Xia Qingtian patted the spot next to her and said, "Let’s sit down and talk slowly."

Huo Qilin didn’t say a word and sat down silently.

But because he was so anxious, he only sat halfway, not really settling down. His posture looked very awkward.

Just as Xia Qingtian was pondering what to say, Huo Qilin spoke up first.
