Chapter 723: Chapter 723 - Why on Earth Is It_1

Cheng Bingbing was really not a person who was deep in thought and adept at hiding her emotions.

Xia Qingtian could see at a glance, what she was thinking.

She didn’t answer Cheng Bingbing’s questions, but directly said, "I know everything that’s happened between you two. It’s just that Huo Qilin confessed his feelings to you and you didn’t accept it, right?"

It seemed that she hadn’t expected her to know this.

Cheng Bingbing widened her eyes in surprise, finally regaining some of her usual expressions.

Xia Qingtian felt relieved about this.

"H-how did you find out?" Cheng Bingbing asked in surprise.

Xia Qingtian answered as a matter of course, "Of course Huo Qilin told me!"

In fact, Cheng Bingbing had guessed the answer early on, just that she still found it hard to believe.

After all, confessing to someone who is beneath oneself and who doesn’t match up to oneself and then getting rejected should be a very shameful thing, wishing this confession had never happened, wishing no one knew about it.

Why would Huo Qilin take the initiative to tell Xia Qingtian?

Xia Qingtian had come to find her because she wanted to have an honest talk with her. She did not intend to keep anything from her, so she said, "In fact, I not only knew that Qilin was rejected after confessing to you, but I also knew sooner than you that he intended to confess."

"What?" Cheng Bingbing was taken aback.

She hadn’t expected at all that Xia Qingtian had known about Huo Qilin’s confession before he made it yesterday.

Xia Qingtian paid no attention to her shock and continued, "In fact, the reason why Huo Qilin confessed to you was because I encouraged him. He had been afraid to confess before, fearing that just like now, once he confessed and you didn’t like him, he wouldn’t even be friends with you."

"I knew you liked him, so I encouraged him to confess to you. I thought it would be a beautiful story of two loving people ending up together, but I didn’t expect you to reject him. Now he’s really upset. This morning when I went back to the office and saw him looking so glum and upset, I was really shocked."

When Cheng Bingbing heard this, her heart ached.

What she cared about most now was Huo Qilin’s current state.

She thought her rejection would at most make Huo Qilin feel humiliated and angry, but she hadn’t expected it to hurt and discourage him.

She was on the verge of tears from sadness and asked worriedly, "How is he doing now?"

Seeing her like this, Xia Qingtian could tell that she was still very much in love with Huo Qilin.

She didn’t understand why she would reject him if she liked him so much.

"Seeing how you care about him, it seems you still like him, so why did you reject him?" She was truly puzzled and could only ask her directly to clear up the confusion.

Cheng Bingbing bit her lip, but said nothing.

She could lie to Huo Qilin and say she didn’t like him, she could hide it from Huo Qilin, but she could never fool Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian was the first one to know that she liked Huo Qilin, and knew how much she liked him. How could she suddenly stop liking him out of the blue?

"What can’t you tell me?" Seeing her struggling, Xia Qingtian asked with some confusion.

Cheng Bingbing thought for a moment, and as if making a decision, she said, "Come with me, and you’ll understand my thoughts when you see what I see."

"Okay." Xia Qingtian agreed.

She wanted to see what Cheng Bingbing had gotten herself into.

The two of them left the hotel together.

On the way to their destination, Xia Qingtian didn’t ask Cheng Bingbing where they were going.

Instead, Cheng Bingbing seemed to think of something and looked at Xia Qingtian incredulously. "When did you find out that Qilin and I aren’t really dating?"

Hearing her ask this, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but laugh.

This girl’s reaction came a bit slow. They had been talking for so long and it was only now that she had caught on to this question.

But she didn’t hide anything, and said straight out, "It was when Huo Qilin beat up someone and disappeared. I went to find him and he accidentally blurted out the truth."

Speaking of which, she remembered she hadn’t told Cheng Bingbing what had happened after she found Huo Qilin the last time.

Xia Qingtian thought for a moment, and then told Cheng Bingbing everything that had happened that day.

Including the reason Huo Qilin was avoiding her was because he liked her without knowing it, considering himself as a pervert, afraid that he would lose control more and more and end up being discovered by her and disliked by her, this was why he was hiding from her.

"I was the one who found out about his feelings for you, and then guided him a little, which made him realize that he wasn’t a pervert, and all the irrational things he did that seemed abnormal were simply because he liked you."

Cheng Bingbing’s face slackened, and she looked like she wanted to cry again.

So it turned out that Huo Qilin really liked her.

It wasn’t a spur of the moment thing, nor was it because it was something new to him.

"Why would he like me?" Cheng Bingbing muttered in disbelief. "I’m not good at all, not worthy of Huo Qilin liking."

Xia Qingtian knew that such an idea came entirely from her insecurity.

"Bingbing, look into my eyes." She turned her head and looked at Cheng Bingbing.

When Cheng Bingbing complied and looked into her eyes, her eyes, face, and voice were filled with affirmation for her, "You are good, you are really good, you are worthy of being liked by anyone."

Cheng Bingbing’s eyes flickered, clearly still lacking confidence.

After learning about her origins, Xia Qingtian understood where her lack of confidence came from. From birth till now, she was told by her parents that she existed for her brother, that she didn’t even have the right to have independent thoughts and personality.

She lived for her brother.

Even if she possessed amazing beauty, intelligence, sweet nature, and a studious disposition, she could only exchange them for higher value for her brother, she herself had no value at all.

So she always felt she wasn’t worthy of having a good life or a good love life.

"Even if you don’t believe in yourself, you should believe in me and Qilian’s judgement. We both like you very much and think you are very good and excellent," Xia Qingtian said with conviction. "If you don’t believe you’re good and deserve it, it would be an indirect insult to me and Qilin, implying that we can’t distinguish good from bad."

"Moreover, you have so many fans, don’t you think your fans also have poor taste?"

Cheng Bingbing quickly denied her notion, "That’s not what I meant! You and Qilin are great and have good taste!"

"Isn’t that settled then?" Xia Qingtian squeezed her hand, encouraging her, "You are great, really great, you are the artist I set eyes on the moment I arrived at the company."

"I have a high standard, if you weren’t really good, I wouldn’t waste so much time and energy on you, and even become friends with you."

"So, have a little more confidence in yourself."
