Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Yin-Yang Balancing Act_1

After going through a fierce internal struggle, Xia Qingtian agreed to Bo Jingyan’s proposal of an equivalent exchange.

"Alright, I agree."

"Deal!" A satisfied smile appeared on Bo Jingyan’s usually cold face.

People who do not often smile, when they do, it’s like a thawing iceberg, emanating a unique allure, as if imbued with magic, it’s hard to look away.

However, Xia Qingtian was in no mood to appreciate this.

That ominous foreboding of hers was growing stronger.

But there is no turning back once the bow is drawn, she had no intention of turning back. So, she nodded her head with a look of resignation, "Hmm, I’ve thought about it. You can tell me the answer now."

"Because I trust you!" Bo Jingyan simply spoke these six words.

Xia Qingtian waited a good while, but there were no further words. Realizing that those were the only words Bo Jingyan intended to give her, she asked, somewhat dumbstruck, "That’s it?"

Bo Jingyan retorted, "Wasn’t my explanation clear enough?"

Xia Qingtian shook her head in disagreement. What kind of explanation was that?

Bo Jingyan nonetheless, patiently elaborated, "Didn’t you say that the most important thing in a relationship is honesty and mutual trust? I trust that you won’t betray me."

Xia Qingtian went silent for a moment.

Bo Jingyan had a point, and she couldn’t really refute it, but...

"If you trust me, then why were you acting jealous just now, repeating what I said to Huo Qilin?" she asked, giving Bo Jingyan a disgruntled look.

"Trust is one thing, but being jealous is another," Bo Jingyan declared confidently.

Xia Qingtian was left speechless. She truly was no match for Bo Jingyan when it came to debating.

In the end, she sighed, "Alright, I guess you passed."

Although the answer was somewhat simple, overall, she was satisfied. The fact that Bo Jingyan trusted her so much now could be considered a good thing.

"Since you’re satisfied with my answer, isn’t it your turn now?" Bo Jingyan asked, peering sharply at her.

Xia Qingtian’s back was aching.

She looked at Bo Jingyan pitifully, "It’s my turn, sure, but you just wore me out. Can we have the exchange another time?"

Bo Jingyan was somewhat taken aback by her words and asked, "Do you think I want to exchange your body?"

"If not that, then what?" Xia Qingtian naturally denied.

No matter how serious and restrained Bo Jingyan appeared to be in public, he seemed to turn into a beast every time he encountered her.

This made it hard for her to believe that Bo Jingyan’s proposal of an equivalent exchange wasn’t about taking advantage of her.

"If you want to use your body for an equivalent exchange, it’s not impossible. But I would require immediate payment, no credit," Bo Jingyan said, half-jokingly.

Upon hearing his words, Xia Qingtian immediately understood that she had misunderstood. Bo Jingyan had no such intention at all.

Her face turned pale, then purple in rapid succession.

You couldn’t really blame her, Bo Jingyan had exhausted her every time they got intimate, leaving her feeling as though her bones were falling apart while he seemed eager for more.

It was normal for her to misread his actions, right?

However, the fact that Bo Jingyan had no such intention was a relief, at least she wouldn’t have to suffer further that night. With this thought, Xia Qingtian didn’t feel quite so embarrassed.

Clearing her throat, she pretended like the misunderstanding didn’t happen.

"Ahem... Alright, you can now say what you want for an equivalent exchange."

"Since it’s an equal exchange, naturally, I won’t take advantage of you. I answered one of your questions; now it’s your turn to answer one of mine," Bo Jingyan said with a light laugh.

"Sure, ask away." Xia Qingtian wore a bring-it-on look on her face.

"The same question as before. What if Huo Qilin had really kissed you?" Bo Jingyan’s tone hinted a slight jealousy.

Xia Qingtian went wide-eyed in shock; it felt like her whole world was collapsing.

What? Wasn’t that topic already closed?

She couldn’t believe that Bo Jingyan had dragged that topic back again. She wasted her time sidestepping the topic earlier for nothing.

"Hm? Why aren’t you answering?" Bo Jingyan continued to probe.

Xia Qingtian was incredibly frustrated. Of course, Bo Jingyan, the shrewdest businessman in the world, would outsmart her in their equivalent exchange.

The fact that he had expanded Bo Group to such an extent proved his acumen in doing business. There was no way she could outwit him in a deal.

Seeing that she wasn’t answering, Bo Jingyan continued his questioning, "What? Are you going to break your promise? I’ve answered your question, now it’s your turn."

What could Xia Qingtian say?

All she could do was blurt out, "There is no ’what if’!"

But Bo Jingyan wasn’t letting her off that easily, "There’s no such thing as absolute certainty in this world. ’What if’s do exist. So ’what if’?"

Xia Qingtian felt like she was going to lose it.

Her mind was in utter chaos. To prevent Bo Jingyan from asking further, she had to use her trump card.

"I said there is no ’what if’..." and before Bo Jingyan could shoot his next question, she threw her arms around his neck and pasted her lips onto his, effectively shutting him up.

This move was effective indeed. Once she kissed him, Bo Jingyan immediately stopped talking. Instead, he took control, using his hand to hold her head and intensifying the kiss.

Initially, the kiss was mild, but it gradually became more passionate.

Just when Xia Qingtian was about to grab his hand to push him away, he pinned her hands above her head and deepened their kiss even more.

Soon, she got lost in the kiss, losing all strength to resist.

So the outcome was inevitable. Xia Qingtian was fully conquered by Bo Jingyan.

By the end of it, Xia Qingtian lay on the bed like a lifeless doll. She didn’t even have the strength to move a finger, and her voice was hoarse from all the shouting.

Although it was Bo Jingyan who did all the work, he looked satisfied and didn’t show any signs of fatigue. On the contrary, he seemed more energetic.

If it weren’t for the materialistic worldview she had learnt since childhood, she would have thought that Bo Jingyan was a demon reinvigorating himself by drawing from her vitality.

Bo Jingyan wiped the sweat off her face and went to pour her a glass of warm water.

With his assistance, Xia Qingtian finished off the glass of water. Only then did her throat feel a bit better.
