Chapter 826: Arousing Her Suspicion

Chapter 826: Chapter 826: Arousing Her Suspicion

Xia Qingtian spent the whole day playing with An’an.

In the evening, thinking about how Bo Jingyan had taken meticulous care of her while she was on a business trip and even got injured for her, she decided to cook a meal herself to reward him and to nourish his body.

Xia Qingtian asked all the chefs in the kitchen to leave and began to prepare tonight’s dinner herself.

Although she rarely cooked nowadays, her cooking skills hadn’t become rusty at all.

Soon, a table full of delicious dishes was ready, now just waiting for Bo Jingyan to come home to eat.

She waited for a while, then suddenly her phone rang.

Xia Qingtian took out her phone and saw it was Bo Jingyan calling.

She immediately answered the phone, her tone filled with anticipation, "How did you manage the company’s business? Dinner is already prepared, when are you coming home to eat?"

Bo Jingyan on the other side didn’t respond, remaining silent.

Seeing this, Xia Qingtian seemed to guess what was happening and her smile faded a bit, "You can’t come back tonight, can you?"

"Mhm," Bo Jingyan’s voice was dull as he explained, "I had just finished handling the company’s business and was about to head home when I received a call from Shi Qian. She said my mother needed to see me and that I needed to go to the hospital."

"How coincidental," Xia Qingtian frowned, unable to help muttering.

Previously, when Bo Jingyan accompanied her on a business trip out of town, he used the excuse of needing to go abroad for company business. Except for Jian Xuan, everyone thought he had gone overseas, and he hadn’t specifically notified Shi Qian or Bo’s mother of his return to A City today.

The moment Shi Qian called, it was to ask Bo Jingyan to visit the hospital, clearly knowing that Bo Jingyan was already back in A City.

How did she know?

Xia Qingtian could think of this, and of course, Bo Jingyan had realized it too.

He spoke to Xia Qingtian, "Shi Qian has bought insiders in the company who keep her informed about my movements. The moment I returned to the company today, her insiders reported it to her."

It was because of these insiders that Shi Qian’s timing to call him was so good, right after he was done with work, leaving him no excuse of unfinished work to avoid coming.

Xia Qingtian immediately understood, her tone carrying a hint of mockery, "She really is unscrupulous in trying to win you over!"

"But in my eyes and heart, there is only you!" Bo Jingyan spoke earnestly.

Xia Qingtian was immediately amused.

She said to Bo Jingyan, "Fine, go wherever you want. I cooked a whole table of dishes for you tonight and wanted to nourish your body, but it looks like you’re missing out."

"Qingtian, I’m sorry!" Bo Jingyan suddenly said, apologizing for not living up to her expectations.

His seriousness and apology caught Xia Qingtian off guard.

She graciously said, "It’s okay. I’ll cook for you another time. Go tend to your matters, I’m going to eat dinner now, so I’ll hang up."

After finishing, she hung up the phone.

Although she didn’t have Bo Jingyan’s company, she had her beloved son, An’an.

...

Elsewhere.

After Bo Jingyan hung up the phone, the tender expression that had appeared on his face during the conversation with Xia Qingtian instantly vanished.

He wore a serious face as he hurried to the hospital.

Soon, he arrived.

When he arrived, he happened to see Shi Qian coaxing Bo’s mother to take her medicine.

Upon seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but frown and said, "Does she need to take so many medications?"

Upon seeing him, Shi Qian’s eyes immediately lit up.

To show herself off, she said, "Of course, she does. All these medications that Mom Bo is taking are controlling her condition well and preventing it from getting worse. Brother Jingyan, don’t worry, I make sure she takes her medicine every day. Even when I go on business trips, I call to make sure she takes it. Mom Bo’s condition has been very stable recently."

Bo Jingyan’s eyes flashed a shade of dark intent upon hearing this.

Shi Qian really was unscrupulous in achieving her goals.

Mom Bo was not sick at all; medicine is a necessary evil, and a healthy person being forced to take so many medicines every day could become sick from the medication itself.

The two doctors treating Mom Bo had been bribed by Shi Qian. To avoid startling the snake, he hadn’t gone to confront these two doctors but could only proceed with the treatment according to their methods and rhythm.

Fortunately, he had arranged for his own people to infiltrate the pharmacy.

Regardless of what prescriptions Mom Bo’s main doctors provided, what she received were just vitamins.

Mom Bo was so good to Shi Qian, almost granting every wish, yet Shi Qian didn’t care at all about her safety or health. Even though Bo Jingyan was not Mom Bo, and couldn’t empathize entirely, the thought still chilled him on Mom Bo’s behalf.

Shi Qian had no idea what Bo Jingyan was thinking about.

After showing off herself, she eagerly watched Bo Jingyan, hoping to receive his praise and approval.

But after a long wait, she only saw him looking emotionlessly at her, not knowing what he was thinking, which somewhat inexplicably made her feel uneasy.

"Brother Jingyan, what are you looking at?" Shi Qian asked, somewhat puzzled.

Bo Jingyan subtly withdrew his gaze.

Now was not the time to reveal his knowledge, as Shi Qian’s backers were still unidentified, and he must bide his time.

Thinking this, he casually said, "You’ve been working hard during this time!"

"Not at all!" Shi Qian implied in her tone, "I have always treated Mom Bo as my own mother."

Hearing this, Bo Jingyan scoffed sarcastically.

The Bo Jingyan Shi Qian usually saw was always expressionless and stern, reserving all his warmth and smiles for Xia Qingtian, almost never smiling in front of her.

Seeing Bo Jingyan smile now took her by surprise.

Caught in the moment, Shi Qian failed to notice the sarcasm in Bo Jingyan’s smile. However, Mom Bo saw it very clearly, frowning slightly but not exposing him; instead, she simply said, "Help me outside to get some fresh air."

Bo Jingyan nodded and helped her off the hospital bed.

The night wind was a bit chilly. Fearing that Mom Bo might catch a cold, he took off his coat.

After taking Mom Bo for a stroll outside, they prepared to return to the hospital room.

While going up in the elevator, a pregnant woman with a large belly suddenly held her waist in pain, her face contracted in agony, and her body was on the verge of collapsing to the ground, which Bo Jingyan instinctively prevented.

"Are you okay?" he asked, furrowing his brow.

The pregnant woman was dripping with cold sweat and could not speak.

Fortunately, the elevator doors opened at that moment, and Bo Jingyan immediately helped the pregnant woman out and handed her over to the medical staff.

After that, there was nothing more he could do.

Bo Jingyan returned to the elevator, prepared to head back to the hospital room with Mom Bo, when suddenly...

"Ah..." Shi Qian cried out in alarm.
