Chapter 715: Chapter 715 He Does Not Dare to Gamble _1

"Brother Jingyan?

Is the person standing behind me Bo Jingyan?

This thought crossed Xia Qingtian’s mind. She turned her head and saw the knight, wearing a silver mask, exuding an intimidating aura, his face stern.

It’s really Bo Jingyan!

Bo Jingyan disregarded Shi Qian, his worried eyes fell on Xia Qingtian.

"How are you? Are you hurt?" He asked anxiously.

Xia Qingtian’s arm was still throbbing with pain. However, now was not the time to delve into this. They must get rid of Shi Qian first. Their secret love could not yet come to light.

With this thought, she shook her head, "Don’t worry, I’m fine!"

Although she spoke like this, still, Bo Jingyan was somewhat uncertain.

He stepped back two steps, creating a little distance between him and Xia Qingtian. He checked her personally and saw that she was indeed unhurt, and only then his mind was slightly at ease.

Immediately afterwards, he pulled her behind him in a protective manner, using his strong body to shield her.

"What were you trying to do just now?" He challenged Shi Qian coldly.

Shi Qian did not answer his question, but counter-asked, "Brother Jingyan, when did you make up with Qingtian?"

Hearing this, Xia Qingtian’s heart tightened.

She knew that Shi Qian asked this question to test them. Afraid that Bo Jingyan might slip his tongue, she quickly grabbed Bo Jingyan’s clothes from behind and pulled hard.

Jingyan noticed her little action, guessing her worry.

Since the old Chinese doctor was willing to come early, he had already put aside his concerns for the most part. However, seeing Xia Qingtian so anxious, he understood that she wanted to be more cautious.

Wait until the old Chinese doctor was sure he could cure Bo’s mother.

Or even wait until Bo’s mother fully recovers, only then consider making things public.

Jingyan of course respected Xia Qingtian’s opinion. If she didn’t want to disclose now, then it’s better to keep it secret.

With that in mind, he took Xia Qingtian’s hand and turned to face Shi Qian. His face still cold, "My business seems to have nothing to do with you."

Shi Qian knew her current status and position. She had no ground to ask or challenge anyone.

But she refused to back down without asking.

She really wanted to confirm that the girl Bo Jingyan was protecting was indeed Xia Qingtian.

In the end, she had to find an excuse. "I’m asking for Bo’s mother. She doesn’t like Xia Qingtian, you know. If you reconcile with Xia Qingtian, it would upset her. The doctor has repeatedly told us that we can’t stimulate her, otherwise, her condition could deteriorate at any time and the cancer cells could spread."

Bo Jingyan could hear that her words were a reminder, but also a threat.

His eyes showed a glint of murderous intent.

Xia Qingtian keenly noticed his changing mood, fearing that he would impulsively do something to Shi Qian, which could adversely affect Bo’s mother’s illness.

All their sacrifice and patience for this period would then be in vain.

She spoke up before Bo Jingyan lost his temper, "I’m feeling a little chest tightness, let’s go."

Jingyan could guess that Xia Qingtian was not really feeling chest tightness, she was just trying to keep him from impulsively doing something to Shi Qian that would upset Bo’s mother.

But he didn’t want to take any risk.

What if Xia Qingtian really felt uncomfortable, huh?

Bo Jingyan eventually compromised. He turned to face Xia Qingtian and hoisted her sideways, preparing to leave.

Shi Qian hadn’t got her answer yet. How could she just let Bo Jingyan leave with a masked woman whose face she couldn’t see?

She yelled at Bo Jingyan’s back, "Brother Jingyan, you haven’t answered my question, have you reconciled with Xia Qingtian?"

Xia Qingtian stared hard at Bo Jingyan, not wanting him to act hastily.

Bo Jingyan received her message, he did not turn back, and chose to lie against his heart, "No, since we’re divorced, it means we have no relationship, I don’t eat grass that has already been eaten."

Hearing this, Shi Qian felt relieved.

She believed Bo Jingyan’s words. He was so proud that he would certainly not stoop to lying to her.

Just, she soon thought of the woman in Bo Jingyan’s arms, suspecting that the woman might not be so submissive, she said, "Then who’s the woman you’re holding now? What’s your relationship?"

Before, Bo Jingyan was willing to parley with her, only because Xia Qingtian did not want to alert the enemy, he didn’t want Xia Qingtian to worry.

His own patience had long been exhausted.

Seeing that Shi Qian kept asking relentlessly, he said impatiently, "What’s it to you?"

Shi Qian opened her mouth, wanting to challenge him. Don’t you know I love you, want to marry you, and become Mrs. Bo? How is it none of my business?

She knew that if she said it, nothing would change.

Instead, it would seem like she was humiliating herself, so she held back.

Shi Qian had no choice but to bring up Bo’s mother again, "I’m asking for Bo’s mother."

Jingyan didn’t budge, "If she wants to know, let her come and ask me, I don’t need you to pass the message, to act as her mouthpiece."

Saying that, he ignored Shi Qian’s yelling, directly lifted Xia Qingtian and walked away.

Shi Qian wanted to follow, but she was scared.

She knew Bo Jingyan was angry now. If she kept pushing, it would only make him dislike her more.

So, she could only stand there, watching Bo Jingyan walk further and further away, gradually disappearing from her sight.

...

Because of Shi Qian’s interference, the mood had been spoiled.

Both Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan lost interest in continuing the fun, they simply left the masquerade ball.

After leaving the ball, Xia Qingtian tapped Bo Jingyan’s shoulder and reminded him, "Alright, you can put me down."

"Is your chest still feeling tight? I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up!" Jingyan did not let go. He asked with a worried look.

Xia Qingtian was confused. What’s this chest tightness? Why go to the hospital?

It was only after a while that she suddenly remembered that she had indeed made up an excuse to shift Bo Jingyan’s attention from Shi Qian, so as not to eventually upset Bo’s mother.

She said that she felt a tightness in her chest.

She hadn’t expected that Bo Jingyan would remember even such off-hand remarks and now wanted to take her to the hospital.

Xia Qingtian felt a surge of sweetness in her heart.

Bo Jingyan really cared for her. That’s why he took her words seriously and kept them in his heart.
