Chapter 704: Chapter 704 Can’t be without you_1

Cheng Bingbing took a deep breath, "You..."

Seeing that she still wanted to continue speaking, Xia Qingtian had to interrupt, "Stop, don’t say so much yet, can you listen to me first?"

Cheng Bingbing purse her lips, swallowing the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She nodded obediently and agreed, "Okay, Sister Qingtian, you speak first."

Xia Qingtian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Firstly, I don’t like Huo Qilin..." she said very confidently, "Secondly, he doesn’t like me at all, so we will never be together in this lifetime. What you said earlier, none of it is valid, so don’t say it again in the future."

"What?" Cheng Bingbing was stunned.

Xia Qingtian doesn’t like Huo Qilin, and Huo Qilin doesn’t like her either?

Wasn’t the two of them together? Was everything that happened last night a lie?

"Yes, just like what you are thinking!" Xia Qingtian saw through her thoughts and gave her a firm answer, "Huo Qilin and I are not together."

Her words completely muddled Cheng Bingbing.

She looked at Xia Qingtian with confusion, "But last night..."

Seeing that she had indeed misunderstood, Xia Qingtian quickly explained, "Actually, I can tell you the whole story, but can you promise to keep a secret for me?"

"Okay," pledged Cheng Bingbing, "I can swear, whatever you tell me, I absolutely will not tell anyone else, even Qilin is no exception."

"Really? Is my status in your heart more important than Huo Qilin?" Xia Qingtian asked in surprise.

Cheng Bingbing nodded sincerely, "Yes, you are truly important to me. You lead my way in life. I can stay single my entire life without having any loss, but I cannot live without you."

Hearing these words, Xia Qingtian felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Cheng Bingbing’s words reminded her of her once best friend Chen Momo.

She truly thought that they would be best friends for a lifetime, but she never expected that Chen Momo would betray her because of Bo Jingyan. Their friendship had changed beyond recognition.

"Sister Qingtian, what’s wrong?" Cheng Bingbing noticed that something was off and called out to her.

Xia Qingtian came back to her senses and suppressed the melancholy she felt just now, replying, "It’s nothing, just remembered some old matters."

Following that, she told Cheng Bingbing about how she and Bo Jingyan were back together but had to hide it from Mrs. Bo and Shi Qian to prevent them from finding out.

After explaining the details, she continued, "So I had to come up with the idea of saying Huo Qilin was my boyfriend in a hurry. I hope it doesn’t bother you."

Cheng Bingbing was thrilled to learn that Huo Qilin and Xia Qingtian were not together.

However, following her initial joy, a strong sense of dejection emerged from deep within her heart.

Even if Huo Qilin was not with Xia Qingtian, so what? What does it have to do with her?

In her current situation, she was not a match for Huo Qilin at all. There was absolutely no possibility between them.

Having explained her side, Xia Qingtian noticed that Cheng Bingbing still looked unhappy, which puzzled her, "I have already cleared things up, why are you still..."

Cheng Bingbing gave a bitter smile, "Sister Qingtian, you didn’t need to specifically explain to me. Qilin and I are just friends at most. Even if you two are together, it’s your business. You don’t need to be cautious because I like him."

Xia Qingtian sighed.

Even though Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin clearly liked each other, both thought that the other party did not reciprocate their feelings.

She was almost at the point of wanting to tell each of them about the other’s feelings.

However, in the end, she managed to hold back and only hinted in her speech, "Don’t degrade yourself like this. Maybe the person you like is secretly admiring you as well."

"How is that possible?" Cheng Bingbing said with a bitter smile and a shake of her head.

Situations like what Xia Qingtian mentioned were things she wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

"Anything is possible. Don’t give up on yourself so easily!" Xia Qingtian advised her.

Cheng Bingbing didn’t say anything else, and didn’t take Xia Qingtian’s words to heart.

"Alright, let’s not talk about men anymore. I’ll buy you lunch." Xia Qingtian knew how hard it would be for Cheng Bingbing to believe her just by talking. So she didn’t try to encourage her more.

She thought that maybe Huo Qilin was preparing to confess, following her hint the previous time.

Seeing Huo Qilin confessing to her would naturally make her believe it.

"Sure," Cheng Bingbing nodded, trying not to let her feelings for Huo Qilin affect her mood.

At lunch, Xia Qingtian took Cheng Bingbing to the restaurant that she and Huo Qilin had wanted to try the previous time but couldn’t due to the long queue and Zhou Lu’s mood killer.

As expected, the dishes at the restaurant were delicious. No wonder it was so popular.

Good food can heal all sorts of unhappiness.

After lunch, both Xia Qingtian and Cheng Bingbing felt much better.

In the afternoon, Xia Qingtian had to return to the office for some other work while Cheng Bingbing had to return to the set to learn from her seniors on how to perform well in a film. They parted ways and went about their own tasks.

Because of Bo Jingyan’s disturbance the night before, Xia Qingtian did not have a good rest.

On the way back to the office, she wanted to take a brief nap in the car. However, just as she closed her eyes, her phone started ringing urgently.

She was startled and took out her phone to see that the caller was Huo Qilin.

Without taking the call, she could already guess what Huo Qilin intended.

As expected, after picking up the call, the person on the other end urged, "How is it? Did you go to the set and explain things to Bingbing for me?"

"Don’t worry, I’ve already explained everything to her!" Xia Qingtian assured him.

Huo Qilin was silent for a moment.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Xia Qingtian felt a little strange and asked him, "Is something wrong?"

"Why won’t Bingbing pick up my calls then?" Huo Qilin asked in a confused tone with his smooth, singing-like voice.

Xia Qingtian knew the reason. Cheng Bingbing felt like there was no future between her and Huo Qilin so in order to prevent herself from falling deeper, she deliberately avoided him and ignored his calls. However, she couldn’t tell Huo Qilin directly and involve herself in their emotional matters.

"Since she’s not picking up your calls, why don’t you come to the set and look for her." In the end, all she could do was to suggest a solution to Huo Qilin.

Huo Qilin sighed and sounded somewhat listless, "But, I have no excuse to look for her!"
