Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Give Him a Chance_1

Cheng Bingbing did not mention anything about her and Huo Qilin.

Yet, upon hearing her words, it seemed as if Xia Qingtian suddenly understood.

She tentatively asked, "Are you scared..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Cheng Bingbing gave her a direct answer, "Yes!"

"I don’t think Qilin is like that!" Xia Qingtian mumbled, could only say this to Cheng Bingbing.

Cheng Bingbing sat down with Xia Qingtian by the flowerbed.

She stroked her slightly protruding belly, her eyes radiating a maternal glow.

"But I can’t gamble my unborn child’s fate on human nature!" Her tone was somewhat gloomy. "Who can precisely predict the future?"

"I believe Miaomiao’s mother loved her too, but in the end, she couldn’t stand up to reality and the changeable human heart. What if I lose the bet? It’s my unborn child who would get hurt."

As she spoke, she looked into the horizon, her tone filled with certain melancholy as she continued.

"You’re right, I do like Huo Qilin a lot, but the more I like him, the more I fear." Cheng Bingbing sounded very clear and realistic, "He’s the young master of the Huo Family. He’ll be expected to continue the family line with his own offspring."

"Compared to the child in my belly, the child whose father I know not, who entered my life unexpectedly, I can’t guarantee that my heart won’t lean towards the child born from the man I love."

"Even as time goes by, I might grow to dislike this child, because he constantly reminds me of the unbearable past. I might even detest him."

At the end of her statement, Cheng Bingbing’s breathing became rapid.

These are just potential scenarios, but simply considering them is enough to make her heart palpitate.

Xia Qingtian did not know how to comfort Cheng Bingbing.

Because she understood that what Cheng Bingbing was saying could possibly become reality.

Maybe Qilin wouldn’t reject the child, even loving him as his own. But the Huo Family is more than just Qilin. The Madam Huo once sought her out because of Qilin’s affairs.

Even with minimal interaction, it was clear that Madam Huo was not easy to get along with.

A child brought into the Huo Family by Bingbing, yet not part of the Huo bloodline, was destined to become a scapegoat.

Xia Qingtian had intended to console Cheng Bingbing, but instead, found herself convinced by Bingbing’s words.

Now, the obstructions between Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin were not external. It is the unpredictable human nature that is preventing them from being together.

What was expected to be a loving and mutual marriage became such a dilemma due to unforeseen circumstances.

As for the path between Huo Qilin and Cheng Bingbing from here on...

Not to mention the two involved parties, even Xia Qingtian, the onlooker, couldn’t see the future clearly.

"Your concerns are indeed reasonable..." Xia Qingtian gently patted Cheng Bingbing’s hand and said, "I’ll convey your worries to Huo Qilin and see what he thinks."

Cheng Bingbing stiffened and stopped her, "Qingtian, don’t tell him..."

"But your current behavior is really unfair to him." Xia Qingtian frowned and continued, "You’re clearly interested in him. Why won’t you open up and allow him to address your concerns?"

Cheng Bingbing did not reply, obviously still resisting to this idea.

"In this world, with so many people, the probability of finding someone you love who loves you back is very small. You might just get one chance in your life. At least give each other an opportunity. Perhaps he might have the solution to your problem."

"If he can ease your worries, then it’ll be a happy ending. However, if he truly can’t, then the worst-case scenario is to maintain the status quo. You won’t lose anything."

Actually, Xia Qingtian could secretly tell Huo Qilin what Cheng Bingbing was worried about.

However, she believed that Cheng Bingbing would prefer her decisions to be respected.

Cheng Bingbing still remained silent, but her attitude seemed to have softened a little. Presumably, she was now pondering seriously.

Xia Qingtian did not say anything else.

She didn’t want to force her will upon Cheng Bingbing.

After all, she had said what she needed to say and given all the advice she could. If Bingbing was still unwilling to change her mind, then it could only mean that they were fated to meet but not meant to be.

With these thoughts, she patted Cheng Bingbing’s shoulder gently, "I’ve said all I wanted to say. Take your time and think carefully, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Cheng Bingbing nodded dejectedly.

They had already discussed all they needed to discuss. There was nothing else to say.

Since they had come to the old age home today, they couldn’t leave empty-handed.

Xia Qingtian was no longer short of money. She was willing to help the elderly here.

Besides donating a sum of money to the old age home, she and Cheng Bingbing also bought some necessities for the elderly. Not forgetting a little girl living there as well.

They bought treats, cute clothes, and stationaries for Miaomiao.

After they took care of everything, the sky was already filled with stars. They prepared to go back.

However, they had arrived by taxi.

To hail a taxi at night would be quite troublesome.

The location of the old age home was quite secluded. There were no taxi drivers nearby, thus making it impossible to hail a cab.

With no other options, Xia Qingtian decided to call the company driver to pick her and Cheng Bingbing up.

However, before she could dial out the number, her phone rang.

She checked the caller ID, it was surprisingly Bo Jingyan.

Upon seeing his name, a pleasurable smile formed at the corners of her mouth as she quickly picked up the call.

Once the call was connected, the tone underlying Bo Jingyan’s cold voice was unmistakably gentle, "Honey, are you at the office? I can come over right now to see you!"

"Don’t come!" Xia Qingtian immediately stopped him.

Bo Jingyan thought she was worried about Shi Qian, so he assured her, "You don’t have to worry about Shi Qian. She has gone to a fashion party with my mother today. She wants to get into fashion and won’t have the time to bother us. So we can have dinner together tonight and enjoy a stroll under the moonlight. Don’t you think the moon is beautiful tonight?"

Xia Qingtian looked up at the sky.

By this time, the sky had darkened. The bright moon hung high above, indeed it was beautiful.
