Chapter 782: Chapter 782: The Young Master is Easy to Coax_1

Xia Qingtian pulled out her phone, realizing that it was Bo Jingyan who’d called.

Worried that Bo Jingyan may have something crucial to discuss, she said to Cheng Bingbing, "Bingbing, stay with Qilin. I’m going to take this call quickly and I’ll be right back."

Cheng Bingbing nodded haphazardly, indicating her agreement.

Xia Qingtian held her phone and moved to a quiet spot before answering the call.

"Are you home? I’ll come over." Bo Jingyan asked her.

"No..." As Bo Jingyan spoke, Xia Qingtian could hear the sound of a car engine revving. Not wanting him to make a futile visit to her house, she quickly responded, "I’m at the hospital. I’m not home."

As soon as she finished her sentence, the sound of a harsh brake screeched from Bo Jingyan’s end of the line.

A heavy thump in her chest instantly made her worry about Huo Qilin, who had just come out of the operating room due to a car accident, and was still unconscious. She immediately raised her voice to ask, "Jingyan, are you alright?"

Bo Jingyan did not answer her question, instead asking urgently, "Hospital? What are you doing at the hospital? What happened?"

Hearing his forceful questioning, Xia Qingtian understood that he had only hit the brakes hard, rather than having an accident. A wave of relief washed over her since Bo Jingyan was worrying about her, she hurriedly replied, "I’m fine, it’s Huo Qilin who’s had an accident."

She then relayed the events that had happened to Huo Qilin.

"As long as you’re okay." Bo Jingyan said, letting out a breath of relief.

He didn’t care about anyone else’s well-being, only that Xia Qingtian was safe.

Xia Qingtian noticed Bo Jingyan’s indifference, but she didn’t confront him, Huo Qilin was her artist and friend, and Bo Jingyan had no relation to him, so his lack of concern was reasonable, especially since Bo Jingyan usually kept his cards close to his chest.

Xia Qingtian knew Bo Jingyan wasn’t interested in the matter with Huo Qilin, so she didn’t continue the topic, instead asking him, "Aren’t you busy with work?"

He’d told her beforehand that before his return to the city, he had to investigate Shi Qian, deal with his mother, and handle company matters-he’d be very busy and might not be able to spend time with her, but Xia Qingtian understood.

"I am busy," Bo Jingyan said with feigned sorrow, "but I missed you so much, so I even skipped lunch to finish all my work as fast as I could, just so I could have dinner with you tonight and spend time with you."

Xia Qingtian understood the underlying message in his words. He wanted her to leave Huo Qilin and come to see him.

Under normal circumstances, she would have agreed.

Since Huo Qilin was now out of immediate danger and Bingbing was taking care of him in the hospital, her presence was seemingly of no assistance, and instead would seem completely out of place.

But the current situation was different.

Despite Qilin’s stable condition and no immediate danger, Cheng Bingbing’s current state was cause for worry. Xia Qingtian felt that Cheng Bingbing needed more care and company than Huo Qilin did.

So she really couldn’t walk away at this time.

She had to keep watch over Huo Qilin and Cheng Bingbing.

Realizing that she couldn’t accompany Bo Jingyan, who had finally made some time for her, Xia Qingtian’s tone filled with guilt, "I’m sorry, I can’t accompany you right now because I can’t leave here. You must be tired these days, you should go home and rest early."

"Are you staying at the hospital to keep watch over Huo Qilin?" Bo Jingyan sounded slightly annoyed.

Xia Qingtian inexplicably detected a tinge of jealousy in his tone, making her somewhat dumbfounded. Was he jealous of Huo Qilin?

Huo Qilin used to mistake his feelings of gratitude towards Xia Qingtian for affection, but he soon realized his true feelings and ended up with Cheng Bingbing, didn’t he?

Just a few days ago, they’d spent a couple of days together at Huo Qilin’s villa. Bo Jingyan should have seen how intimate Huo Qilin and Cheng Bingbing were. Xia Qingtian and Huo Qilin didn’t stand a chance, there was nothing to be jealous about.

"I’m not keeping an eye on Huo Qilin, but rather keeping Bingbing company." Although Xia Qingtian was speechless, she patiently explained to Bo Jingyan.

She didn’t want to leave any misunderstandings in his mind.

"Alright." With that, Bo Jingyan hung up the phone.

Listening to the cold beeping sound from the other end of the phone, Xia Qingtian felt a tightness in her heart.

She guessed that Bo Jingyan was probably upset. She understood. They hadn’t seen each other for a few days. He had gone to great lengths to arrange all the matters at hand in order to see her, but she simply couldn’t manage to meet him.

Sighing, she moved her phone away from her ear and sent Bo Jingyan a text to apologize.

Not surprisingly, there was no response.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless, she decided to make a few of Bo Jingyan’s favorite dishes once Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin were in a more stable condition, and then make it up to him properly.

She believed that as long as she gave him a chance, he would certainly take it.

With that thought, Xia Qingtian put away her phone and returned to the hospital room without giving Bo Jingyan another thought.

When she returned, Cheng Bingbing still maintained the posture she had when Xia Qingtian had left. She wanted to say something, but when her gaze fell on Cheng Bingbing’s dress she froze.

She saw that there was a dark red bloodstain on the white hem of Cheng Bingbing’s dress.

Her heart jumped, and she quickly grabbed Cheng Bingbing’s arm, asking worriedly, "Bingbing, why is there blood on your dress? Is it your baby in your stomach...?"

She didn’t continue the sentence.

She knew Cheng Bingbing was concerned about the baby and didn’t want to scare her.

Cheng Bingbing reflexively touched her slightly protruding belly, shaking her head, "No, it’s not. The baby in my belly is fine."

Knowing that the baby in her stomach was safe, Xia Qingtian felt a great sense of relief. She asked again, "Then, where did the blood on your dress come from?"

Cheng Bingbing didn’t know either, she merely shook her head blankly.

Seeing her like this, Xia Qingtian didn’t continue to press, but instead went straight to her side, slowly lifting her dress a bit at a time. She soon found out where the bloodstains came from.

Cheng Bingbing had an ugly wound on her leg. It was no longer bleeding, but the area around the wound was stained with blood. The blood on the hem of her dress was from the wound before it stopped bleeding on its own.

The injury looked like it’d come from their rush to get downstairs.

At that time, the two only paid attention to Huo Qilin in the hospital, and because Cheng Bingbing’s belly didn’t hurt, they didn’t pay too much attention to it.

Luckily, they were in the hospital so treating the wound was simple. Xia Qingtian forcefully took Cheng Bingbing to get her wound treated.
