Chapter 722: Chapter 722: She Will Take Full Responsibility_1

Xia Qingtian couldn’t believe that a confession could fail when two people were in mutual affection.

But Huo Qilin seemed quite distressed, not as if he was joking.

Could it be, that his confession really failed?

Xia Qingtian didn’t know what to say.

Because she wasn’t sure what had happened. Cheng Bingbing had liked Huo Qilin for so long, and now Huo Qilin was confessing his feelings to her, why would she reject him?

She patted Huo Qilin’s shoulder, trying to comfort him, "Don’t be upset first..."

However, before she could finish, Huo Qilin interrupted her, "Now Bingbing doesn’t answer my calls or reply to my messages, let alone pursue her, I can’t even see her."

Xia Qingtian instantly felt awkward.

She had been the one promoting Huo Qilin to confess his feelings. She had thought two people who liked each other confessing and then being together was a matter-of-course event.

Unexpectedly, the results are causing a great tumult between them.

She is somewhat responsible for this!

Thinking about it, she felt she needed to make up for Huo Qilin, and said, "I’ll help you find Bingbing to understand what exactly happened."

"Sure!" Huo Qilin agreed.

However, he didn’t want to make Cheng Bingbing feel uncomfortable. So, he added, "If Bingbing does not like me, you help me plead for me. As long as she doesn’t ignore me, that’s enough, don’t pressure her to accept me."

You could say his words were extremely humble.

Xia Qingtian, not being the person involved, felt very sad.

She was certain Cheng Bingbing loved Huo Qilin. Although she didn’t understand why she rejected his confession, if she saw this side of Huo Qilin it would hit her harder than anyone else.

She sighed, guaranteeing to Huo Qilin, "Don’t worry, I’m not as domineering as you think. Bingbing is also my friend; I will not force her to do anything she’s not comfortable with, let alone being with someone she doesn’t like."

If it weren’t because she knew that Cheng Bingbing liked Huo Qilin, she wouldn’t have encouraged Huo Qilin to confess to her.

"That’s better." Huo Qilin finally felt a bit relieved.

Seeing how Huo Qilin was, Xia Qingtian really felt quite uncomfortable.

"Alright, I’ll go find Bingbing soon and get the whole picture." She looked at Huo Qilin from head to toe, urging, "As for you, you should head back, tidy up yourself, and after all, you are a top star, don’t neglect yourself so much."

"It doesn’t matter." The state of Huo Qilin was gloomy as if nothing mattered to him."

Seeing that normal persuasion wouldn’t work on him, Xia Qingtian had no other option but to talk about the topic that mattered to him the most, "You don’t care about yourself, but if Bingbing sees you like this, do you think she will want to be friends with you, would you have a chance then?"

As soon as she said this, Huo Qilin just now, who was half alive and indifferently to everything, immediately seemed to have come back to life.

"Alright, I’ll go home and dress up immediately." After saying this, he didn’t need any pursuation, he left behind his last words, turn around and left Xia Qingtian’s office with the utmost speed.

In an instant, only Xia Qingtian was left in the office.

If it wasn’t for the lingering warmth on the chair, he was so fast leaving that she would have felt that there was no one was in her office at all and it was all her imagination.

Xia Qingtian shook her head.

She looked at today’s scheduling of the company, there was no emergency work that needed to be addressed immediately.

So she took the liberty of postponing all of her work for a bit later, and dialed Cheng Bingbing’s number.

Cheng Bingbing quickly picked up her call.

There were some things that were a bit inconvenient to say over the phone, so when making the call, she didn’t mention anything related to Huo Qilin. As she was afraid it might cause Cheng Bingbing to feel repulsed and then she couldn’t meet her face-to-face.

Xia Qingtian knew Cheng Bingbing still had feelings for Huo Qilin.

The reason for her rejection might be some unspeakable hidden issue. She wanted to see what bothered Bingbing and if there was any way to help her resolve it.

Hence, she only asked Cheng Bingbing where she was through the call.

After learning the exact location, Xia Qingtian, barely suppressing the ache in her body, followed the address to find her.

She quickly arrived at the location.

She didn’t know whether Cheng Bingbing was deliberately avoiding Huo Qilin and didn’t want to see him or if there was some other reason, but she was actually staying at a rather remote and somewhat rundown hotel.

When Xia Qingtian found her, although she wasn’t as downcast as Huo Qilin, her complexion looked rather pale.

Particularly her eyes, which appeared red and swollen, clearly a result of crying long and hard.

Seeing Cheng Bingbing like this, Xia Qingtian worriedly asked, "Bingbing, are you alright?"

Cheng Bingbing forced a smile, "I’m okay!"

If Cheng Bingbing didn’t look so pale and her smile hadn’t seemed so forced, Xia Qingtian may have been convinced.

She didn’t say much and went into the hotel with Cheng Bingbing.

The hotel was really simple, other than a bed, an old TV, and a water heater, there was nothing else.

The room, though meager and antiquated, at least appeared clean and hygienic.

Cheng Bingbing, feeling a bit uneasy, led Xia Qingtian to sit on the edge of the bed, took a bottle of water from the table and handed it to her. She then hesitated before asking, "Sister Qingtian, why are you here?"

Xia Qingtian drank a mouthful of the water to moisten her throat and said, "Huo Qilin asked me to come."

Cheng Bingbing seemed shocked that Huo Qilin would have Xia Qingtian come find her.

She opened her mouth, there were many questions she wanted to ask Xia Qingtian.

For example, why would Huo Qilin ask her to come look for her?

She rejected him so harshly last night, not answering his calls, replying to his messages, considering his looks, personality and family background, what kind of girlfriend couldn’t he find?

He must be very mad, feeling she is unappreciative.

She hadn’t expected that Huo Qilin would have Xia Qingtian come find her.

Xia Qingtian saw that she seemed to have something to say and didn’t urge her, just quietly waiting.

It took quite a while for Cheng Bingbing to find her voice, her words barely audible, "Did he ask you to come find me because of something?"

Actually, what she wanted to ask was not just this.

However, there were many things that she couldn’t ask in front of Xia Qingtian. Being rejected by a woman, who was not as good as him in birth, family background, talent or inner virtues, was not something glorious.

She could not tell other people about this, even if that person happened to be their mutual friend and her most trusted Xia Qingtian.
