Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Don’t Follow Me_1

After a moment, Cheng Bingbing managed to suppress the emotions in her eyes.

"I thought I could, but when I handed my hand to you, I couldn’t lie to my heart, not liking is not liking." She pursed her lips, speaking cruelly, "Even if you have a lot of money, my heart will not fall for you!"

Hearing this, Huo Qilin was stunned and disconsolate.

However, he still stubbornly held Cheng Bingbing’s hand, not wanting to let her leave just like that.

Cheng Bingbing, looking expressionless, said, "Qilin, I have rejected you. If you continue to pester me, it would be harassment."

She took a deep breath, "Don’t make me hate you because of this!"

As soon as the word ’hate’ came out, Huo Qilin involuntarily let go of her hand.

As long as Cheng Bingbing didn’t hate him, he still had a chance to win her over again. But if she really hated him, he would have no chance at all.

"Okay, I let go!" He suppressed his sadness, "We may not be lovers anymore, but we can still be friends."

"Hmm." Cheng Bingbing nodded vaguely, grabbed her bag, and was about to leave.

She was afraid if she stayed any longer, her true feelings would show, and Huo Qilin would notice.

Huo Qilin mustered up energy, "Let me walk you out!"

"No need, I want to be alone." Cheng Bingbing really didn’t dare to stay with him any longer and quickly turned to leave the restaurant.

Huo Qilin subconsciously wanted to follow her.

When Cheng Bingbing heard someone approaching from behind, even without turning her head, she knew it was Huo Qilin.

Her steps halted, though she didn’t turn around, her tone was exceptionally stern, "Don’t follow me."

Huo Qilin immediately stopped, not pursuing her further.

Only then did Cheng Bingbing feel relieved and left the restaurant.

Huo Qilin sat dispiritedly on a chair, shrouded by sadness; the restaurant staff were petrified by this sight.

They were secretly observing just now, thinking they could witness the romance of two popular stars, fantasizing about riding on their coattails if they went public.

However, the outcome caught them utterly off guard.

After leaving the restaurant, Cheng Bingbing was sure that Huo Qilin wasn’t following her. The tears she had been holding back finally flowed freely, like a burst dam.

She did not force herself to suppress her tears, but let them flow.

One’s tears are finite, and once all shed, she wouldn’t feel pain or cry anymore.

She just let herself cry.

She didn’t know how long she cried until her eyes were dry, and she couldn’t cry anymore.

...

The next day.

When Xia Qingtian woke up, she was in Bo Jingyan’s arms.

Thinking about what happened last night, she couldn’t resist burying her head under the cover, her entire body felt awkward; she was determined to never act impulsively again.

Last night, Bo Jingyan’s surprise had genuinely moved her, which led her to lose control.

The price she had to pay was full-body aches and pains.

Right now, Bo Jingyan was holding her waist, fast asleep.

Xia Qingtian gently removed the hand from her waist, picked up Bo Jingyan’s shirt, put it on herself, and walked out onto the deck.

The yacht was still sailing in the sea.

On the deck, she watched dolphins jumping and frolicking in the sea. The vibrant azure sea relaxed her.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the pleasure of the sea breeze on her face.

Suddenly, she felt a warm body pressed against her from behind and arms wrapped around her waist.

She didn’t turn around, because she knew the person holding her was Bo Jingyan.

In a somewhat pampering tone, Bo Jingyan asked Xia Qingtian’s opinion, "Would you like to go back to the city today, or continue having fun at sea?"

"Let’s go back to the shore." Xia Qingtian pondered for a while.

Her phone was knocked out of her hand by Cheng Bingbing at the bar yesterday, and she was not aware of the situation between Huo Qilin and Cheng Bingbing.

Bo Jingyan actually preferred to keep cruising in the sea with Xia Qingtian.

In this yacht, except for the staff, it was only the two of them. They could do whatever they wanted, without anyone disturbing them.

In particular, Shi Qian would not suddenly appear to ruin their date, causing them to lose interest.

Although he didn’t want to return, he still chose to respect Xia Qingtian’s decision.

Jian Xuan came to the yacht immediately when it docked and brought two sets of casual clothes.

After the two of them changed, they disembarked.

Bo Jingyan opened the car door and signaled Xia Qingtian to get in, "Let’s go, I’ll drive you to the company."

But Xia Qingtian shook her head, "No need, when I was on the yacht, I already called my assistant and asked her to pick me up."

Bo Jingyan was immediately not happy.

"Xia Qingtian, do you just want to hit and run?" He looked at Xia Qingtian disappointingly with melancholic eyes.

It was as if Xia Qingtian was some sort of notorious woman.

Xia Qingtian’s lips twitched, and she was somewhat speechless.

You are the one who ’hit and run’ last night that my waist still hurts, how can you have the nerve to accuse me?"

And did Bo Jingyan just awaken some drama queen tendencies?

But she couldn’t really argue with Bo Jingyan, she could only appease him and say, "I am doing this for our future and your mother’s health."

Bo Jingyan still looked disappointed.

Xia Qingtian continued, "Last night Shi Qian tried to unmask me because she suspects my identity. Although you stopped her, based on her character, she might not give up."

"I am afraid if you drive me to the company, and she finds out something or sees us together right now, it will remind her of last night and she will realize the masked person at the masquerade with you was me. This could distress your mother. It’s completely unnecessary."
