Chapter 860: Chapter 860: Finally Waited

Xia Qingtian tidied herself up and then descended the stairs to the dining room.

When she arrived at the dining room, not only did she see Bo Jingyan, but An’an was also seated in a high chair, being fed breakfast by the nanny.

She quickly approached and gently kissed An’an’s chubby little cheek.

Upon seeing Xia Qingtian, An’an flashed his pink teeth in a delighted smile.

Xia Qingtian’s heart melted instantly.

With An’an’s company, her mood was incredibly buoyant, and even her appetite improved during breakfast.

Bo Jingyan saw the bright, cloudless smile on her face, and while he was pleased that she wasn’t affected by a nightmare, he felt a twinge of sourness knowing that her smile wasn’t solely for him.

But An’an had his and Xia Qingtian’s blood running through his veins – their mutual flesh and blood, the crystallization of their love – so there was no reason for him to be jealous of his own son.

He had to swallow his jealousy.

He thought he had concealed his jealousy well, but Xia Qingtian immediately noticed that Bo Jingyan wasn’t in the best of moods, and that there was a hint of malice in his gaze toward An’an.

She was all too familiar with that expression and those eyes.

It was the same look he had when he was jealous of Shen Yaxuan and Huo Qilin in the past.

She couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless.

Bo Jingyan really was a jealous king, even jealous of his own son.

Luckily, he had enough shame not to show it openly.

Realizing that Bo Jingyan was feeling jealous, Xia Qingtian didn’t call him out on it, nor did she favor one over the other; instead, she pretended as if she hadn’t noticed anything.

Knowing that Bo Jingyan couldn’t taste anything in other people’s cooking, but still wanting to express her love and care for him, equally as much as she did for An’an, she fed him half a shrimp dumpling.

Her face full of anticipation, she said, "Wow, the kitchen’s shrimp dumplings are really delicious today, you should try some."

Bo Jingyan couldn’t refuse his wife’s offering and opened his mouth to eat it.

"Do you like it?" asked Xia Qingtian, eyes sparkling.

Bo Jingyan was feeling much better and was about to nod in response, when suddenly...

His phone on the table began to ring.

Glancing at the caller ID, he saw it was Jian Xuan.

Remembering that he had called Jian Xuan last night after Xia Qingtian had fallen asleep to assign him a task, he put down his chopsticks, elegantly wiped his hands, and said to Xia Qingtian, "You and An’an continue eating, I’m going to step out to take a call."

After receiving his wife’s permission, he took his phone and went out to answer the call.

Xia Qingtian thought it was company business and didn’t dwell on it, always having full confidence in Bo Jingyan. No matter what the company faced, he would handle it with ease.

Thinking this, she continued to happily have breakfast with An’an.

A while later, Bo Jingyan returned to the dining room.

Xia Qingtian and An’an had nearly finished their meal and were about to leave the dining room to go outside and soak up some sun for a calcium boost.

But before she could step out, she saw Bo Jingyan return with an unusual look on his face.

She immediately realized that the phone call wasn’t simply company business as she had assumed.

Xia Qingtian quickly changed her plans of taking An’an outside for sunshine, handed An’an over to the nanny, and sat back down at the dining table.

Looking at Bo Jingyan, she asked, "What’s wrong? What did Jian Xuan say on the phone just now?"

Bo Jingyan’s expression was terrible. "It’s about Shen Junru."

Hearing the name Shen Junru, Xia Qingtian instinctively thought of the familiar figure she had seen in the restaurant last night.

Her throat felt tight, so she picked up the glass of milk from the table and took a sip before continuing to inquire, "What happened to Shen Junru?"

"She’s been released on bail!" Bo Jingyan said.

Last night, after seeing Xia Qingtian have a nightmare about the kidnapping again, he guessed that it must be related to her sighting a figure in the restaurant that looked like Shen Junru.

Although rationally she knew she had mistaken someone else for Shen Junru, the encounter had still left a shadow in her subconscious, which had led to her having nightmares again. To put Xia Qingtian at ease, he had asked Jian Xuan to investigate the situation of Shen Junru and Shi Qian in the detention center.

He believed that as long as Xia Qingtian knew that Shen Junru was still behind bars and couldn’t harm her or An’an, she would feel safe.

Maybe then Xia Qingtian would no longer be afraid, and she wouldn’t have nightmares anymore.

However, the report from Jian Xuan turned out to be beyond his expectations.

Shen Junru had been released on bail without him knowing.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the person Xia Qingtian saw at the restaurant yesterday was indeed Shen Junru.

That’s why Bo Jingyan’s face looked so awful.

If it weren’t for yesterday’s coincidence, coupled with Xia Qingtian having a nightmare, pushing him to check on Shen Junru’s status in detention, would he have to wait until Shen Junru did something to trouble Xia Qingtian before he found out?

Xia Qingtian didn’t know what Bo Jingyan was thinking.

Upon hearing that Shen Junru had been bailed out, even though she had mentally prepared herself, her complexion still changed dramatically.

"Why?" she asked emotionally, "The evidence of Shen Junru’s kidnapping and murder is conclusive, how could she be released on bail?"

"The specifics haven’t been fully investigated by Jian Xuan, we need to look into it further," Bo Jingyan said, holding her hand.

Perhaps it was out of fear, her hand was very cold, so he grasped it tightly, wanting to warm her up.

"Okay," Xia Qingtian nodded, knowing that was all they could do for now.

After breakfast, Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan parted ways, each heading off to their respective companies.

Because Shen Junru had been released, Bo Jingyan was worried about Xia Qingtian, concerned that Shen Junru might do something to her again, so he assigned a few bodyguards to her to ensure that no one could harm her.

Having been previously kidnapped and now knowing that Shen Junru had been released, Xia Qingtian naturally had to increase her vigilance to avoid giving Shen Junru any opportunity to harm her.

Therefore, when Bo Jingyan arranged for bodyguards, she didn’t refuse.

She arrived at the company with the bodyguards.

Yesterday, when Bo Jingyan accompanied her to the company, he had already dealt with all the documents that needed her attention.

Today, she only needed to tidy up a few loose ends at the company.

During the day, Xia Qingtian’s cellphone suddenly rang, showing an unfamiliar number on the display.

She hesitated for a moment but still answered the call.

Although the number was unknown, the voice at the other end was not.

"Qingtian, it’s me..."

Xia Qingtian immediately recognized the voice as Cheng Bingbing’s.

After Huo Qilin left the company yesterday, she had tried to call Cheng Bingbing a few times, but the line was still turned off. Without a way to contact her, she could only wait for Cheng Bingbing to call her.

Now, she finally had!
