Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Help me invite him out_1

Elsewhere.

After having a meal with Xia Qingtian and informing her of all the matters, Bo Jingyan and her parted ways.

Xia Qingtian went back to work.

Bo Jingyan, on the other hand, packed some food and returned to the hospital.

When he returned to the hospital, his mother had already regained consciousness, and her overall mental state looked relatively good.

Bo Jingyan took out the food and said, "I just bought some food, let’s eat first."

"I don’t have an appetite," said his mother, looking quite weary.

Without asking anything, Bo Jingyan looked at Shi Qian, who was on guard by the bedside, and she began to explain, "I have already told mother about her true diagnosis, so her mood is a bit down."

After speaking, she cautiously looked at Bo Jingyan with a guilty tone, "Jingyan, should I not have told her?"

Actually, she didn’t feel guilty at all.

She just wanted to use this opportunity to make Bo Jingyan comfort her.

There were no visible reactions on Bo Jingyan’s face, and he coldly said, "No, you go eat first."

Then, he turned his gaze from Shi Qian to his mother.

At the bedside, he spoke firmly to comfort his mother, "Even though the Ancient Doctor misdiagnosed before, I will surely find a way to cure your illness. Nothing will happen to you."

After hearing his words, his mother suddenly felt slightly relieved.

While she wasn’t afraid of death, who doesn’t prefer to be alive if they could help it? Looking at Bo Jingyan, she unknowingly felt like he was someone she could rely on.

"Alright," she nodded, expressing her faith in Bo Jingyan’s words.

...

Over the following period, Bo Jingyan was constantly running between the company and the hospital, rarely having time to meet Xia Qingtian, let alone go on dates.

The most they could do was video chat for a while before going to sleep every day.

Luckily, Xia Qingtian was understanding and didn’t blame him for not spending much time with her. On the contrary, she often consoled him and even cooked his favorite meals during her spare time—using a lunch box to deliver them to him.

Of course, since their relationship can’t be disclosed yet, Xia Qingtian made someone pose as a delivery person to deliver the food to Bo Jingyan at Bo Group.

As such, even though they couldn’t meet, their feelings for each other grew progressively stronger.

One noon, Bo Jingyan received his lunch box and specifically called to thank her. The two flirted over the phone, sharing some mundane occurrences of the day.

Far from finding it dull, they were incredibly interested in hearing about each other’s day.

Xia Qingtian was just telling him about a meeting she had attended that day, when there was a knock at her office door.

She found it strange because it was lunch break, and no one from the company would disturb her unless it was an urgent matter.

She gestured to Bo Jingyan to mute the line and allowed the person outside to come in.

She was a bit surprised to see the visitor—Cheng Bingbing.

Cheng Bingbing came forward and sat across from her, "Qingtian, I need your help with something."

"Hold on a second," Xia Qingtian told her, and then took her phone and said to Bo Jingyan on the phone, "Something came up, I’m hanging up."

Though Bo Jingyan was reluctant, he agreed anyway.

But, just before hanging up, he asked, "Give me a kiss as compensation!"

Xia Qingtian, having been with Bo Jingyan for a while and considering Cheng Bingbing no stranger, compromised and kissed the phone to appease him.

Only then did Bo Jingyan hang up contentedly.

After she hung up the phone, Cheng Bingbing cautiously asked, "Were you just on the phone with young master Bo?"

"Yes," Xia Qingtian admitted without denying.

Since Cheng Bingbing already knew that she and Bo Jingyan had reconciled and were secretly dating, there was completely no need to hide it from her.

Cheng Bingbing instantly realized she had interrupted Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan.

Her face flush with embarrassment, she apologized to Xia Qingtian, "I’m sorry, Qingtian. I didn’t realize you were on the phone with Bo Jingyan."

"No worries," Xia Qingtian interrupted, "we were just chatting away aimlessly. if it were anything important, I wouldn’t have let you in. Enough about me and him. Why did you come to see me?"

Seeing that she genuinely didn’t mind, Cheng Bingbing let it go.

Then, a bit sheepishly, she moistened her lips and, after a moment, quietly revealed the purpose of her visit, "I, I want you to help me arrange a meeting with Qilin."

"Why?" Xia Qingtian was surprised.

Huo Qilin was infatuated with Cheng Bingbing. If Cheng Bingbing wanted to meet him, he’d be overjoyed to oblige, and he certainly wouldn’t reject her. Asking her to arrange a meeting was completely unnecessary.

"I..." Cheng Bingbing stuttered, unable to speak.

Seeing her like this, Xia Qingtian instantly realized something.

"Bingbing, are you thinking of..." she looked at Cheng Bingbing tentatively.

Having interacted with her for a while, Cheng Bingbing had developed quite an understanding of Xia Qingtian and knew she had guessed her intentions. Blushing, she nodded and admitted, "Yes, it’s what you’re thinking."

Xia Qingtian immediately smiled, saying happily, "That’s great. You’ve finally come to your senses. Now that simple-minded fool, Huo Qilin, doesn’t have to go to the hospital for that damned surgery."

Thinking of how Huo Qilin was willing to have surgery just to ease her worries, thereby making himself incapable of having children in the future, Cheng Bingbing felt a touch of affection.

Ever since she was born, her parents had been demanding that she make sacrifices for the sake of Cheng Family and her little brother, showing her no affection whatsoever.

This was the first time someone had made concessions and sacrifices for her benefit.

She was truly moved!

In consideration of Huo Qilin’s efforts, she was willing to take a risk, giving both herself and him a chance.

"He’s truly a good man, worth taking a risk for," Cheng Bingbing said, touched.

Xia Qingtian was genuinely happy for them, but at the same time couldn’t help but worry. She once again asked, "Bingbing, are you really sure about this?"

"Mmm," Cheng Bingbing confirmed with a determined nod.

She knew that Xia Qingtian was worried about the issue that she had been concerned about. It couldn’t be avoided, and she might end up getting hurt.

But for Huo Qilin, she was already mentally prepared.

If she ends up losing, she’s ready to pay the price for her decision.
