Chapter 750: Chapter 750 He is very Manly_1

Xia Qingtian, seeing that Cheng Bingbing had already made up her mind and clearly thought it through, didn’t try to persuade her further.

She nodded, "Alright, I’ll arrange a meeting with him for you."

Seeing Qingtian agreeing, Bingbing burst into a brilliant smile.

Next, she discussed with Xia Qingtian the details of their upcoming encounter with Huo Qilin.

She stayed in Xia Qingtian’s office for a long time, leaving only when it was almost time to knock off. She left the office in high spirits.

Xia Qingtian was known for keeping her word.

When Cheng Bingbing was ready, she called Huo Qilin to arrange the meeting. Given that she couldn’t reveal that she was helping Bingbing, she invited him out on her own behalf.

Unexpectedly, Huo Qilin actually declined. He said over the phone, "You can tell me whatever it is over the phone. I used to like you and If I go out to eat with you, Bingbing might misunderstand and be unhappy."

Upon hearing his words, Qingtian almost laughed out in exasperation. It seemed like he was guarding against her, as if she had some hidden agenda against him, planning something behind Bingbing’s back.

If it were not for her promise to Cheng Bingbing to have Qilin meet her, and the fact that he indeed respected Bingbing, she really wanted to just hang up and let him regret it later.

Xia Qingtian took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Then she said to Huo Qilin on the other end, "I need to see you about something related to Bingbing. It’s up to you whether you want to come or not."

Having said that, she hung up the phone.

She was in no hurry, confident that upon hearing Bingbing’s name, he would call back.

Sure enough, her phone rang just as she had thought it would, and the caller ID showed it was Huo Qilin.

Xia Qingtian didn’t answer immediately, making him wait for a while. It was not because she was angry, but to create the impression that she was impatient in order to avoid his questions later which she might not be able to answer.

It was not until the third time he called that she finally answered the phone.

Before she could say anything, Huo Qilin started bombarding her with questions like rapid gunfire, "What happened to Bingbing? Anything wrong with her? She’s okay, isn’t she?"

Seeing his anxious look, Xia Qingtian promptly replied, "She’s fine, it’s just about some romantic matters."

Upon hearing that Cheng Bingbing was not in any trouble, Huo Qilin heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he asked with a firm tone, "What romantic matters?"

Before Qingtian could say anything, he continued, "Is she still worried about the same things as before? Please tell her for me that I’m willing to undergo surgery again. I don’t want her to worry. She..."

"Stop!" Xia Qingtian interrupted him, "Let’s talk about it in person."

"Alright." Huo Qilin agreed and then asked, "When and where should we meet? Actually, I might just come to your office."

Xia Qingtian, fearing that he would really show up at her office and then what would she say about Cheng Bingbing?

She immediately stopped him, "No, don’t come to the office!"

Feeling something unusual, Huo Qilin asked, "Why not?"

"Anyway, just don’t!" Xia Qingtian’s patience was wearing thin, she said, "In short, if you want to know about Bingbing, you must do as I say. If you come looking for me at the office, I won’t say anything."

It became clear to Huo Qilin. She really had a problem.

However, for the sake of Bingbing, he had to compromise. He agreed, saying, "Alright, I won’t come looking for you."

Xia Qingtian was finally satisfied. She then relayed to him the time and place that Bingbing had instructed. Then she remembered something he had mentioned about surgery.

The reason they found out the previous time was due to their good fortune. It was when Qilin called her that she and Cheng Bingbing got to know about it.

If he quietly underwent the surgery this time around without making a sound about it, she and Cheng Bingbing wouldn’t know anything and that would be disastrous. Hence, Xia Qingtian added, "Don’t even think about having another surgery, let’s discuss everything after our meeting. Don’t make any decisions on your own. What if Bingbing thinks it’s too lonely for a child alone in the future and wants to have a sibling? If you can’t father a child then, she can only find someone else for that."

"No way!" Huo Qilin became rather agitated.

It was impossible for him not to get agitated. He really loved Cheng Bingbing. Just hearing these hypothetical situatons from Xia Qingtian, he couldn’t stand it. He dared not imagine what he would do if such a situation really arose.

"Since you can’t accept it, you had better do nothing before meeting me, or you will regret it." Xia Qingtian issued another warning.

"Understood." Huo Qilin agreed.

Xia Qingtian reminded him of a few other things, especially about being punctual on that day, and then finally hung up.

...

Soon, the day Xia Qingtian had arranged to meet Huo Qilin arrived.

She had arranged to meet Huo Qilin in the evening. But in reality, she had left in the morning to meet Bingbing.

Today, Cheng Bingbing planned to confess her feelings to Huo Qilin.

She had rejected Huo Qilin’s confession once. Now it was only fair for her to confess in return.

Unlike Huo Qilin, Cheng Bingbing did not have the financial power to book an entire restaurant for the occasion and could not come up with many tricks. Hence, she had to use her own sincerity to make up for this disparity as best as she could.

Despite her efforts, she still felt a sense of deficiency.

Xia Qingtian noticed her shifts in mood, aware that her feelings of inferiority stemmed from her less privileged background. Seeing this, Xia Qingtian patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Money can always be earned through hard work, but sincerity can’t be bought with money."

Bingbing remained silent.

But Xia Qingtian wasn’t bothered, continuing to say, "You should know, you are now a popular actress in the entertainment industry where money comes quickly. As long as you’re willing, you can always earn tons of money. Moreover, our company is about to go public, you still hold the original shares I gave you. By then, you will become a small wealthy woman. Even if you lie at home every day doing nothing, you can count money until your hands go soft."

Cheng Bingbing suddenly couldn’t help laughing.

Xia Qingtian always knew the right things to say at the right time.

No doubt, Bingbing’s disappointments and feelings of inferiority were quelled by Qingtian’s few words.

"You’re right. Lack of money is no excuse for self-pity, but it should be my motivation to strive harder." Cheng Bingbing gathered up her spirits and said with a radiant smile, "I will strive hard. I won’t disappoint those who care about me. I want to make money earnestly."

"That’s right. We should let everyone know that our goal is not to marry into wealth, but become the wealth."
