Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Giving You a Surprise

Xia Qingtian blinked in disbelief as she looked at Bo Jingyan, speechlessly saying, "You actually rejected me!"

She felt really awkward at the moment. Bo Jingyan’s rejection made it seem like she was in a desperate rush, like some kind of pervert.

Bo Jingyan played with Xia Qingtian’s hand, trying to soothe her, "Don’t be upset, I still have a lot of work to deal with."

"I’m not upset, I’m worried about you being upset," Xia Qingtian pouted, defending herself.

Bo Jingyan revealed a look of understanding, "So you were so nice to me today because you were worried I would be angry."

Xia Qingtian did not deny it.

"Rest assured, I’m not upset," Bo Jingyan emphasized.

"Really?" Xia Qingtian eyed him suspiciously.

Bo Jingyan nodded seriously, "Really!"

The more he said so, the more doubt crept onto Xia Qingtian’s face.

She couldn’t help but feel that something was off about Bo Jingyan. Since when had he become so tolerant and generous? After all, she had promised him that once she finished dealing with Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin’s matters, she would make more time for him.

Now that she had broken her promise, not only was she unable to accompany him, but she also had to go on a business trip for a while, and yet he didn’t seem to mind at all.

In fact, he was unusually undemanding of any kind of compensation.

It felt as if the man had been possessed by someone else, it was weird no matter how she thought about it.

"Then..." Xia Qingtian ventured cautiously, "I’m leaving early in the morning tomorrow with Bingbing by plane to the countryside. When you’re free, remember to visit the manor and spend some time with An’an."

"Understood," Bo Jingyan agreed.

Having said everything she had to say, Xia Qingtian knew he was busy with lots of work, even having used it as an excuse to turn her down, so she decided not to disturb him any longer. "I won’t bother you then, I’ll be off."

"Okay," Bo Jingyan said as he let go of the arm that was around her waist, "Be careful on your way back."

"Got it," Xia Qingtian replied, gathered her insulated food container, and walked toward the office door.

She looked back repeatedly as she left, but Bo Jingyan truly didn’t say anything to try to keep her there.

Until she stepped out of Bo Group, she still felt dazed, as if everything from the moment she met Bo Jingyan today felt unreal. But a pinch on her arm brought a real pain, reminding her that all of this was indeed happening.

Xia Qingtian shook her head, pushing the chaotic thoughts to the back of her mind.

Regardless, this matter was settled, and she could go on the business trip with Cheng Bingbing peacefully, which was definitely a good thing for her.

Thinking so, she stopped dwelling on it and drove back to the manor.

...

The next day.

Xia Qingtian met up with Cheng Bingbing at the airport.

They had set out early, fearing traffic jams, but today they were lucky and reached the airport without any problems.

They still had some time before boarding, so they wandered around the airport for a bit.

When it was time to board, they successfully got on the plane.

The plane had just taken off when Cheng Bingbing’s phone beeped. She checked it and then stood up.

Seeing this, Xia Qingtian asked, "Where are you going?"

"I’m going to the restroom," Cheng Bingbing casually put away her phone and replied.

Xia Qingtian nodded, picked up a magazine, and began flipping through it out of boredom when suddenly...

Someone sat down next to her. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the person was wearing a neatly pressed black suit. Without moving her gaze from the magazine, she simply reminded the person, "Sir, someone is already sitting here, you’ve got the wrong seat."

"What if I insist on sitting here?" The man’s voice carried a domineering tone.

Xia Qingtian froze for a moment upon hearing that voice.

Then, she immediately lifted her head to look at the man and, recognizing his face, her eyes widened in shock, "Bo Jingyan? Why is it you?"

"Who else could it be?" Bo Jingyan raised an eyebrow with a slight smile and asked, "Are you happy to see me?"

Xia Qingtian didn’t respond verbally; instead, she leaned into his embrace, answering the question with action.

Bo Jingyan wrapped his arm around her waist and teased, "Are you that happy?"

"Mhm," Xia Qingtian murmured her reply, affirming his question.

Bo Jingyan let her hug him, not mentioning anything about letting go. He didn’t want to push her away, enjoying the feeling of Xia Qingtian depending on him deep inside.

The two of them remained in that embrace.

After who knows how long, Xia Qingtian’s waist began to ache, and she finally released her arms from around Bo Jingyan.

"How did you suddenly show up on the plane?" She sat up straight and asked Bo Jingyan.

She didn’t believe for a second that Bo Jingyan’s appearance on the plane, sitting right beside her, was just a coincidence.

Sure enough, Bo Jingyan’s response confirmed her suspicions.

Bo Jingyan said, "I came to find you, planning to give you a surprise."

"So..." Xia Qingtian looked at him intently and asked, "Last night when I came to see you and told you I was going on a business trip with Bingbing, you had already decided to come with me, right?"

"Right," Bo Jingyan admitted.

Xia Qingtian finally understood why he had been so out of character the night before. She had practically thrown herself at him, but he had been as unmoved as Zhongli Mei.

The two got mushy again for a while before finally parting.

And it was then that Xia Qingtian remembered Cheng Bingbing had been gone for quite a while without returning, which made her start to worry.

"How come Bingbing hasn’t come back yet for so long? I hope she didn’t run into trouble?" she said as she stood up from her seat, worry clear on her face, preparing to go check on Cheng Bingbing in the direction of the restroom.

Bo Jingyan grabbed her arm in one swift motion.

"Don’t bother," he told Xia Qingtian, "She went to sit somewhere else."

"Ah?" Xia Qingtian paused, asking, "How do you know?"

Without waiting for Bo Jingyan to answer, she suddenly remembered Cheng Bingbing’s phone had beeped before she left, as if someone had sent her a message. She suddenly realized something and turned to look at Bo Jingyan.

"Was the message Bingbing received before from you?"

Her words seemed like a question to Bo Jingyan, but her tone was quite certain.

"Yep, I asked her to switch seats with me," Bo Jingyan nodded.

Xia Qingtian finally relaxed knowing there was nothing wrong with Cheng Bingbing and sat back down.

Feeling tired, she leant her head on Bo Jingyan’s shoulder and chatted with him, "So, you’re planning to come along on my business trip?"

"Yes," Bo Jingyan answered.

"What about the work at your company?" Xia Qingtian asked him.
