Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Brave Pursuit of Love_1

This time, when Shi Qian was scolded by Xia Qingtian, she didn’t feel angry enough to retort.

Compared to arguing with Xia Qingtian, she thought it was more important to determine whether Xia Qingtian had been seeing Bo Jingyan again and whether the traces on her body were left by Bo Jingyan.

She maintained a sceptical attitude and said to Xia Qingtian, "If you don’t want him to speak, he can simply nod or shake his head, right?"

Having said that, she was already looking towards Huo Qilin, continuing, "Huo Qilin, if you really are Xia Qingtian’s boyfriend, just nod your head. If not, shake your head."

Xia Qingtian could no longer keep Huo Qilin’s head still, preventing him from giving a response.

Shi Qian is not a fool.

If she made such move, it would be equivalent to admitting her guilt when she was initially innocent.

For a while, the atmosphere was incredibly tense.

Xia Qingtian’s heart was beating quickly, somewhat nervous for the first time. She was afraid that Huo Qilin would spoil her plan and expose her in front of Shi Qian.

After a moment of silence, Huo Qilin nodded solemnly.

Xia Qingtian heaved a great sigh of relief.

She then turned to Cheng Bingbing and asked, "Okay, are you satisfied now? Huo Qilin has admitted it. He is my boyfriend. Do you have any more questions?"

"You..." Shi Qian was about to question something.

"You’re not really going to keep asking questions, are you?" Xia Qingtian was afraid that she would be exposed if the questions kept coming, so she cut her off directly, "Do you live by the sea and are you the ruler of the world, even dealing with other people’s love affairs? Why not join the Gossip Association since you love meddling so much?"

Shi Qian was a bit unconvinced, but she soon thought of something.

She nodded and said, "Fine, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. I won’t disturb your love life, I’m leaving."

Having said that, she turned to leave.

She took out her phone from her bag and took a photo of Xia Qingtian and Huo Qilin. In the photo, Xia Qingtian was affectionately holding Huo Qilin’s arm, the two of them were very close, quite intimate.

She examined the photo carefully, finally feeling quite satisfied, and put her phone away.

As for the dress she was wearing...

Although it was dirtied and she might lose the chance of being the ambassador for this top luxury brand, it was nothing compared to becoming Mrs. Bo.

Once she became Mrs. Bo and held immense wealth, she would not want to be a hardworking artist who is constantly judged.

All she needs is to shop every day and enjoy a glorious life of luxury, which should be enough.

Xia Qingtian stealthily glanced out of the corner of her eye while clutching Huo Qilin’s arm. Once she found that Shi Qian had completely disappeared from her field of vision, she let go of him and distanced herself.

"Sister Qingtian, I’m not feeling well suddenly, I think I will leave first." Cheng Bingbing, who had been standing on the sidelines and watched the whole thing, said with a pallid face.

Huo Qilin, fearing she might misunderstand, hurriedly tried to explain, "Bingbing, listen to me..."

"We can discuss this another time." Cheng Bingbing didn’t want to hear his explanation for fear of an undesirable response. Therefore, she chose to evade, "I will leave first."

Directly after this, she didn’t wait for Huo Qilin to say anything more and turned to leave.

Huo Qilin immediately got up to chase after her.

However, he tripped over something and lurched forward, inadvertently knocking someone down in the process.

After he had steadied himself, he helped the person he had knocked over to their feet. Once he had ensured they were not injured and had received their forgiveness, he looked for Cheng Bingbing again. However, she was nowhere to be found.

When he went after her, not even Cheng Bingbing’s shadow was visible.

Huo Qilin’s world came crashing down.

He didn’t know how Cheng Bingbing has left, or if she was safe.

Just as he was pondering whether to find Cheng Bingbing, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

He turned his head and found it was Xia Qingtian again.

Thinking about how the atmosphere between him and Cheng Bingbing was just right until Xia Qingtian disrupted it, even causing Cheng Bingbing to misunderstand their relationship, he gave Xia Qingtian a less than pleasant look.

Xia Qingtian, feeling guilty, decided not to quibble with him.

Noticing his concern for Cheng Bingbing, she reassured him, "Don’t worry, Bingbing left in company’s nanny car. The chauffeur will ensure her safe arrival home."

Huo Qilin heaved a sigh of relief instantly.

However, recollecting Cheng Bingbing’s expression as she left, his face hardly relaxed.

Looking pitifully at Xia Qingtian, he grumbled, "Qingtian, I really suffered because of your antics this time."

Although Xia Qingtian had reasonable excuses to defend herself, she saw no reason to do so considering she really did mislead Huo Qilin.

Patting Huo Qilin on the shoulder with a buddy-buddy gesture, she assured him, "Okay, cheer up. Didn’t I promise you before that I would help you explain things to Bingbing?"

Huo Qilin’s brows were still knitted tightly together, "What I’m talking about is not just this issue."

Xia Qingtian was slightly puzzled and asked, "Then what else is vexing?"

Huo Qilin decided not to conceal the matter about him almost discovering Cheng Bingbing’s feelings for him, being reminded of it by Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian remained silent for a moment, genuinely not expecting things to turn out this way.

"I’m sorry." She apologised sincerely to Huo Qilin.

"It’s fine." Seeing her so remorseful, Huo Qilin felt it unnecessary to hold a grudge against her. If he still kept resenting her, that would be somewhat unfair on his part.

However, he couldn’t seem to cheer up and said somewhat despondently, "Maybe Bingbing and I are just not meant to be."

Xia Qingtian had made up her mind earlier not to interfere with Huo Qilin and Cheng Bingbing’s relationship anymore.

But seeing Huo Qilin in such distress, especially since he had helped her and she had messed up, she decided to compensate him.

Of course, she wouldn’t tell Huo Qilin of Cheng Bingbing’s feelings.

She only hinted, "Actually, affairs of the heart can be simple. If you like her, just confess your feelings directly."

"What if she doesn’t like me?"Hu Qilin frowned.

Xia Qingtian laughed and said from the perspective of someone who had been through this, "It’s just because it’s uncertain that you should fight with everything you have to express your feelings. You can’t always wait for the moment when there’s no risk."

"You have to understand that nothing in this world is certain. You only need to know whether you would give up if Bingbing truly rejects you."

"Of course, I won’t give up!" He promptly said with certainty.

Xia Qingtian shrugged, "Well, there you have it. What else are you considering? Charge straight ahead!"
