Chapter 736: Chapter 736: A Good Idea_1

Having waited for a while, Huo Qilin came back with lunch.

Xia Qingtian had a few bites and then excused herself to use the bathroom. She left the ward to give Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin some privacy, giving them a chance to talk things out and resolve their issues.

After leaving the room, she washed her face and decided to go downstairs for a stroll, giving Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin more time. She also planned to buy some fruit for Cheng Bingbing, as a way to provide extra vitamins for her and the baby in her womb.

On the fifth floor, someone got on the elevator and as the elevator doors were closing, Xia Qingtian saw two familiar figures — Bo Jingyan and Shi Qian!

All of a sudden, she lost her mood for a stroll and shopping. When she reached the first floor, she took the elevator back to the fifth floor.

Once there, she understood why Bo Jingyan and Shi Qian would also be in the hospital.

The fifth floor was the oncology department, specializing in treating cancer patients.

Bo Jingyan had previously told her that he would be accompanying his mother to the hospital these days for a full check-up, stabilizing her condition before the arrival of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

However, she had not anticipated that Bo’s mother would be in this hospital.

Since she had met him anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to give him a surprise.

With that in mind, Xia Qingtian’s eyes twinkled with mischief and she quickly conceived a good plan.

...

Meanwhile.

Bo’s mother wanted some traditional pastries from an old store, so she asked Bo Jingyan to get some for her.

Bo Jingyan didn’t refuse but he didn’t expect to be stuck with Shi Qian, who insisted on going with him. He tried to shake her off but it was like trying to get rid of sticky candy.

Despite the persuasion from his mother, he didn’t want to argue about it anymore and took her with him.

However, along the way, he kept a straight face and ignored Shi Qian completely.

Regardless of Shi Qian constantly attempting to strike up conversations with him, he treated her as if she were invisible.

When they returned with the pastries, Shi Qian looked rather upset.

Seeing this, Bo’s mother waved her over and asked, "What’s wrong, Qianqian?"

Shi Qian walked slowly to Bo’s mother’s side. Instead of answering, she looked at Bo Jingyan, her eyes full of uncertainty and vulnerability.

"Did Jingyan bully you?" Bo’s mother asked.

Shi Qian obviously couldn’t badmouth Bo Jingyan in front of his mother. That would only irritate him even more.

Rather than talking negatively about him, she had to speak well of him and show him that she understood and respected him. She had to prove herself to be better than Xia Qingtian.

With that in mind, she shook her head and quickly explained, "No, Bo’s mother, Brother Jingyan didn’t bully me!"

While saying this, she bashfully glanced at Bo Jingyan, preparing to praise him even further, "And Brother Jingyan has been very good to me, he..."

Bo Jingyan had no patience for a woman that pretended. He didn’t wait for her to finish her sentence but interrupted, "I am going to talk with the chief physician..."

Having said this, he didn’t wait for his mother’s answer. Instead, he turned around and left the room.

Shi Qian did not expect him to behave in such a blatant manner, depriving her of any dignity, especially in front of his mother. She was stunned.

When she regained her senses and tried to catch up, Bo Jingyan was already out of her sight. Fortunately, she knew where the chief physician’s office was.

She was determined to catch up with Bo Jingyan and not give him a chance to escape from her.

"Bo’s mother, I am going to go check on what the chief physician had to say." Shi Qian told Bo’s mother before leaving the room.

"Qianqian..." Bo’s mother suddenly called out loudly, stopping her.

Shi Qian, eager to find Bo Jingyan, was annoyed at being stopped. However, since Bo’s mother was her support, she managed to suppress her anger.

"Bo’s mother, what is it?" she said, forcing a sweet smile.

"Are you going to find Jingyan?" Bo’s mother asked, her tone certain. Clearly, she had seen through Shi Qian’s intent.

Getting this hint, Shi Qian did not deny it but said straightforwardly, "Yes, you know I like Brother Jingyan. Now that he’s divorced, it’s my opportunity. Only if I win him over will Xia Qingtian give up for good. "

"Bo’s mother, you also dislike Xia Qingtian, that woman who flutters like a butterfly. My actions are not only for myself but also for you."

Her words dragged Bo’s mother into the equation, turning a matter of her own into something involving them both. This way, she hoped to earn greater support from Bo’s mother.

Bo’s mother quickly saw through her little scheme.

However, due to various reasons, she didn’t expose Shi Qian but warned her instead, "Sometimes, you can’t push a man too hard. You have to know when to advance and retreat. Your aggressive pursuit might not make him like you, but instead annoy him and make him dislike you even more."

Shi Qian froze at these words.

Bo’s mother was right. Despite all her efforts, not only had Bo Jingyan not softened towards her, he had grown to dislike her even more.

Like a drowning person clutching at a straw, she looked at Bo’s mother pitifully and said, "So what should I do?"

This question put Bo’s mother in a difficult position.

She had been separated from her son for many years and knew next to nothing about him. She had no idea how to win his heart.

Seeing Shi Qian looking at her pleadingly, Bo’s mother’s heart softened and she didn’t want to disappoint her.

In the end, all she could do was tell Shi Qian, "This matter requires long-term consideration."

Shi Qian frowned. She didn’t want to wait any longer.

Thinking about the woman in the mask at the masquerade party, although she wasn’t Xia Qingtian, she still posed a strong threat. It was clear that Bo Jingyan felt differently about her.

Afterwards, Shi Qian had someone investigate the woman in the mask.

However, Bo Jingyan had anticipated her actions. Not only did she not learn anything, but the person she had sent to investigate also had their hand broken as a warning to not push things too far.

Scared, Shi Qian didn’t dare to continue the investigation.

To this day, she still didn’t know the identity of the woman in the mask, or how far she had gotten with Bo Jingyan.

This was why she was so anxious.

Now, Bo’s mother was asking her for patience, but she did not want to, nor did she have a better idea. She could only listen to Bo’s mother for now and obediently replied, "Alright, I will listen to you, Bo’s mother."
