Chapter 709: Chapter 709: I Will Protect You_1

Xia Qingtian huffed lightly, "Humph, I refuse to believe you!"

Bo Jingyan released her, clasping his hands to his chest, speaking unhurriedly, "I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, just turn around and look in the mirror. If I’ve been lying to you, you are free to punish me however you please."

Seeing his seemingly earnest attitude, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.

Could it be that what Bo Jingyan said was true?

Was there really no need for her to reapply her lipstick?

Considering this seemed unlikely given Bo Jingyan’s passionate and intense kiss earlier, it was impossible that it hadn’t smudged her lipstick.

With this thought in mind, Xia Qingtian decided to ignore what Bo Jingyan had told her.

She turned around and looked at herself in the mirror, to her surprise, her lips were indeed very red, and even looked quite plump, as if she had just got a lip enhancement, giving an overall pouty appearance.

What was going on?

When did Bo Jingyan acquire such skill? When kissing her, he hadn’t smudged her lipstick at all, this simply didn’t make sense.

Could it be that the makeup artist had applied a long-lasting lipstick?

Xia Qingtian couldn’t resist touching her own lips.

The temperature on her lips was high, and a slight wipe transferred their red color onto her fingertip, indicating that the lipstick on her lips had clearly not been rubbed off.

So the lipstick she had applied was not long-lasting at all.

Xia Qingtian instinctively stepped closer to the mirror to get a clearer view.

Soon, she understood what was happening.

The reason her lips appeared this way was all because of Bo Jingyan. They appeared pouty because they were kissed until they were red and swollen.

She took a deep breath, barely resisting the urge to glare at Bo Jingyan.

"Let’s go..." Xia Qingtian turned around emotionlessly and walked towards the exit of the dressing room.

She truly didn’t need to apply any more lipstick.

Seeing her huffing in annoyance, Bo Jingyan smiled. His wife trying to suppress her anger was also very cute.

He quickly strode forward, catching up with Xia Qingtian’s pace, taking her hand.

After unsuccessfully trying to shake his hand off twice, Xia Qingtian gave up and let him hold her hand.

As they passed the hall, there were many colleagues coming and going.

Although Bo Jingyan had said that the old Chinese doctor would come early to treat his mother, she still felt uneasy about them being seen together.

As long as the old Chinese doctor hadn’t cured his mother’s disease, they could not let their guard down.

She wasn’t willing to take risks!

So, Xia Qingtian stopped in her tracks, extending her hand towards Bo Jingyan, "Where did you leave your knight’s mask? Give it to me quickly!"

Like a magician, Bo Jingyan pulled out a silver mask.

The silver mask could cover her eyes and nose, leaving only her sexy lips exposed.

Xia Qingtian took the mask and tried to put it on him.

But she found that it was too high for her. Even with her heels, she couldn’t reach him.

Reluctantly, she turned to Bo Jingyan, "You are too tall, bend down so I can put your mask on."

As cooperative as ever, Bo Jingyan knelt on one knee in front of her.

Xia Qingtian was startled, but she found it easier to put his mask on this way. She didn’t pull him up, but swiftly adjusted his mask while he remained kneeling.

She examined him from all angles.

Despite his face being largely covered, Bo Jingyan was still handsome, and even had an added mysterious allure.

Xia Qingtian was extremely satisfied with this.

"Alright, let’s go." She confidently extended her hand towards Bo Jingyan.

Bo Jingyan stood up like a gentleman, taking her hand.

As they strolled through the lobby and left, many people stared at the two of them. Some who were more forward, and had good relationships with her, even asked her curiously who the handsome man she was holding hands with was, or if he was a new signee to the company.

The more ambitious agents wanted to grab her, intending to have her introduce Bo Jingyan to them.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but feel relieved that they had prepared ahead of time, and Bo Jingyan hadn’t been recognized.

Facing everyone’s curious gaze, she could only respond, "He’s just a friend of mine, not an artist from any company. He’s just here to accompany me to an event. Everyone stop gawking and go back to work."

After dismissing everyone, the pair left the company together.

In the car on the way to the masquerade, Bo Jingyan, while playing with her hand, stated, "I really wish you would admit to everyone that I’m your boyfriend, or even your husband."

Xia Qingtian could sense his dissatisfaction.

She held Bo Jingyan’s hand, comforting him, "There will be an opportunity. As long as your mother recovers and we’re sure she won’t relapse, we can make it public."

"Hmm, it can only be like this!" Bo Jingyan was somewhat unwilling, but due to his father’s actions and his mother’s condition, he had no choice but to compromise.

Before long, the car slowed to a halt. They had arrived at the venue for the masquerade.

Bo Jingyan was the first to get out of the car, then moved to the other side to open the door for Xia Qingtian. He extended his hand gallantly, "Your majesty, please alight. Tonight, I am your knight, tasked with your protection."

Xia Qingtian placed her hand in his, looking at him questioningly as she stepped out of the car, "Just for today?"

Bo Jingyan was taken aback momentarily before quickly correcting himself, "Of course not just for today, but for every day in the future."

Xia Qingtian was finally satisfied.

She allowed Bo Jingyan to lead her by the hand, invitation in hand, into the venue of the masquerade.

This masquerade was particularly lively.

After all, Huasheng was renowned for its short video app, with countless content creators boasting millions or even tens of millions of followers. These creators had vastly different content and unique personalities.

Some were even socially awkward.

Upon entering the masquerade, the atmosphere was chaotic, unlike any high-end banquets or business parties Xia Qingtian had attended before.

Here, no one knew anyone, and with everyone heavily made-up and wearing masks, formalities were discarded.

Xia Qingtian was instantly immersed in the ambiance.

Perhaps due to Xia Qingtian’s and Bo Jingyan’s exceptional appearances, many content creators assumed the pair were "beauty-focused" creators and approached them for collaboration on videos.

Bo Jingyan, with his cold demeanor, was not easily approachable for anyone other than Xia Qingtian. Even with a mask on, his imposing aura deterred people from approaching him.
