Chapter 730: Chapter 730: Today’s Sweet Words_1

Just as Xia Qingtian was about to step out, she felt a tight grip on her arm and was yanked back.

She turned to look at Bo Jingyan, who was gripping her arm, and asked, "If you have something else to say, get it over with and leave quickly. Don’t let anyone see us together!"

As she spoke, she was nervously scrutinising her surroundings.

"The old Chinese doctor informed me that he will be coming to A City in three days. Before then, I need to take her to the hospital for a detailed check-up," Bo Jingyan told Xia Qingtian, "So, for the next three days, I might not have time to come and see you."

"That’s fine!" Xia Qingtian responded indifferently, "You go and do your thing."

Seeing her seemingly uncaring demeanor made Bo Jingyan gaze at her darkly.

His voice carried a hint of sadness as he asked, "Why do I feel like you can’t wait to be rid of me for these next few days?"

The desolation in his words was so thick that even amidst her own nervousness, Xia Qingtian could not ignore it.

She turned to Bo Jingyan, who was visibly unhappy.

She understood why Bo Jingyan was upset.

"Okay, quit being upset," she comfortingly reached a hand to gently touch Bo Jingyan’s face, saying, "Haven’t you heard the saying ’While deep affection lasts an age, why must it count each passing day?’ "

"We have the rest of our lives together. There’s no need to rush. After your mother recovers, there will be no more obstacles between us. We won’t have to sneak around anymore. We can date every day without worrying about Shi Qian, no more sneaking out to the sea for dates. Isn’t that better?"

Bo Jingyan’s eyes softened at her words, "You’re quite sweet today. Let me see if you’ve eaten honey."

Before Xia Qingtian could respond, he leaned in and kissed her lips.

This kiss was different from their previous passionate ones. It was tender, fleeting like a dragonfly skipping on water- a hint of innocence. Sometimes, this type of innocent kiss was even more heart-fluttering than a passionate one.

At this moment, Xia Qingtian’s heart was racing, faster than it ever had before.

After the kiss, Bo Jingyan released her, commenting, "Hmm, I’ve already tasted."

Xia Qingtian subconsciously asked, "And? How was it?"

"Sweet. Not honey sweet, but you," Bo Jingyan responded intensely.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but smile at the corners of her mouth, while feeling a surge of reluctance in her heart. However, she didn’t want to be swayed by her emotions, so she forcefully suppressed them.

She asked Bo Jingyan, "Now that you’ve tasted, can I go now?"

"Hmm!" Bo Jingyan agreed.

Xia Qingtian immediately pushed open the door and got out of the car as quickly as possible.

In the past, she was afraid of being seen with Bo Jingyan, but now, she was doing this out of fear that if she was slow, Bo Jingyan would try and make her stay.

And if he did, her reluctant heart may agree to stay- making all their previous efforts go in vain.

Realizing her sentiments, Xia Qingtian quickened her pace towards her office, nearly trotting her way back to her building.

Her coworkers, seeing her rush, thought someone must be hounding her for debt.

When Xia Qingtian returned to her office and was about to pour herself a glass of water, she pushed open the door to find someone sitting inside, startling her.

Not until the person turned around, did she recognize that the person in her office was none other than...

Huo Qilin!

Xia Qingtian worried that if her heart kept on getting shocked like this, she’d run into serious problems.

Before she could admonish Huo Qilin for scaring her in her own office, she saw him sitting there looking at her with a pitiful puppy-like expression.

Huo Qilin should be grateful that he was back to looking handsome today, otherwise no amount of puppy-dog eyes would move anyone’s heart.

Without a thought, Xia Qingtian knew why he was in her office today.

She knew he was anxious, but she had no idea he was this anxious.

"Let me have a drink of water first, and then I’ll talk to you slowly," she said to Huo Qilin before reaching for the cup on her office table to pour herself some water.

Before she could finish speaking, Huo Qilin swiftly took her cup and poured her a glass of water, offering it to her with a flattering grin.

Xia Qingtian had worked tirelessly for his matter, it was only proper for him to pour her a glass of water.

After she finished drinking and, raising her head, she saw Huo Qilin standing in front of her, awaiting her answer anxiously.

Even though he looked dashing, being watched non-stop by him was a bit too much for Xia Qingtian.

"I know what you want to know, you don’t have to watch me like that." She sighed as she put down the glass in her hand, said to Huo Qilin, "Stop standing there and come sit down. We can talk it out."

Upon hearing her words, Huo Qilin sat down at lightning-speed.

His speed suggested a fear that if he took even a moment longer, Xia Qingtian would change her mind and withhold the information.

Xia Qingtian also sat at her own desk. She had originally planned to handle some urgent office work, but seeing Huo Qilin’s desperation, she realized he was extremely anxious.

So she didn’t want to keep him in suspense any longer.

Therefore, she decided to first resolve the issue between Huo Qilin and Cheng Bingbing and then focus on her work.

"I found Bingbing yesterday and had a heart-to-heart with her," Xia Qingtian looked into Huo Qilin’s eyes, starting, "I also know why she rejected you."

"Reason?" Huo Qilin was caught off guard.

In his mind flashed the image of that restaurant where Cheng Bingbing admitted her disinterest in him. Wasn’t that reason good enough?

Thinking about that day, he couldn’t help but laugh at himself, "I already know the reason. She doesn’t like me. Isn’t that reason enough?"

Seeing his reaction, Xia Qingtian realized that he didn’t understand Cheng Bingbing’s feelings, nor did he know that Cheng Bingbing was actually in love with him for a while now.

"Of course not..." She had to speak for Cheng Bingbing, "Of course, she likes you. She lied when she said she didn’t."

"Bingbing... likes me too?" Huo Qilin muttered, taking a moment to fully comprehend the implications of what she had just said.

He looked intently at Xia Qingtian, his eyes sparkling with too much light, "Is it true? Bingbing likes me? She truly likes me?"

"Of course, it’s true. Would I lie to you?" Xia Qingtian replied a little exasperatedly, "It’s because I knew that Bingbing liked you, and that you liked her back, that I encouraged you to confess your feelings."

"Do you think I’m idle and like coupling up people who aren’t suitable for each other?"
