The CEO’s Unkown Wife
Chapter 100 - 100 100 Considering Forgiving Her_1

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Considering Forgiving Her_1 Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Considering Forgiving Her_1 Xia Qingtian was a bit surprised, but …

If Bo Jingyan was willing to meet her, that was a good start.

With some trepidation, she entered the CEO’s office.

Cautionedly, she looked up to steal a glance at Bo Jingyan.

The man was in a black suit, with the topmost button of his shirt fastened, enveloping his figure tightly and neatly. He exuded an aura of restrained temptation.

Suddenly, Xia Qingtian found her throat drying up, compelling her to involuntarily swallow.

“Mr. Bo …”

Bo Jingyan looked up and his complex gaze softened momentarily upon realizing that it was her, only for it to once again harden, “You dare to appear in front of me of your own accord!”

Xia Qingtian was instantly filled with fear, wanting to flee, but then she remembered that she was here to make it up to Bo Jingyan and ask for his forgiveness.

Suppressing her fear, she froze in the spot.

“Mr. Bo, you still haven’t fired me, I’m still your private chef.”

Xia Qingtian tightened her lips, wearing a sincere expression.

“I know you don’t enjoy takeout. Your workload is so high that if you don’t eat well, your health will definitely suffer.”

“Even if you’re upset with me, don’t play tricks with your own body.”

Bo Jingyan looked deeply into her face, with its pure allure and clear eyes.

He sighed. “Go cook.”

Xia Qingtian didn’t anticipate things would go this smoothly, and a big smile instantly stretched across her face.

“Mr. Bo, rest assured, I won’t disappoint you.” Saying this, she headed off cheerfully to cook.

Thinking of her beaming smile from moments ago, a hint of delight unconsciously teased the corners of Bo Jingyan’s lips upwards.

Xia Qingtian’s purpose in coming to the CEO’s office was very clear.

She wanted to win over Bo Jingyan, appease his anger, ensure he didn’t have her killed. Hence, she pulled out all the stops for lunch.

Finally, the meal was ready.

“Mr. Bo, please try and see how it suits your palate!” She placed the delectable dishes on the table, her face full of a desire to please.

Bo Jingyan tasted a bite, and he could tell she had put her heart into it.

He nodded approvingly, “Hmm, not bad.”

Xia Qingtian instantly broke out in laughter, her clear eyes curled into captivating crescents.

The elaborate meal she cooked eventually ended up in Bo Jingyan’s stomach.

As soon as he set down his chopsticks, she promptly poured him a glass of water. “Mr. Bo, have some honey water, it’s good for the stomach.”

“Not bad.” Bo Jingyan accepted the water and took a sip, complimenting her in good spirits.

Xia Qingtian cautiously observed his mood.

Perhaps because of the satisfying meal, Bo Jingyan seemed relaxed and comfortable, looking pretty satisfied.

She thought the current Bo Jingyan was someone she could communicate well with.

“Mr. Bo…” Xia Qingtian called out to him, her tone flattering.

“Since I’ve been behaving so well, can you forgive me? I genuinely admit my mistake. Can you keep your people from breaking my limbs and throwing me into the sea to feed the fishes?”

Bo Jingyan tightened his grip on his glass, looking at her intently, “So, that’s your motive? You want my forgiveness?”

“Yes, I wish to atone.” Xia Qingtian didn’t lie this time and nodded honestly.

Bo Jingyan’s face instantly darkened at perceivable speed.

The previously sweet honey water turned incredibly bitter in his mouth.

He had assumed Xia Qingtian was genuinely concerned about him.

Hmm…

He didn’t expect that she had ulterior motives.

If Xia Qingtian wasn’t scared of his vengeance, she would definitely be avoiding him, wouldn’t she?

Thinking this, Bo Jingyan felt a surge of anger.

“Okay, I’ll give you a chance!”

“I want to eat Banqiu Mountain’s private kitchen dishes in three days. If you can manage that, I’ll consider forgiving you and overlook your deception.”

Xia Qingtian’s heart tightened initially, but upon hearing his condition, her smile vanished instantly.

The private cooking of Banqiu Mountain, serviced by descendants of the imperial chefs, was available for just ten tables a day by reservation only.

The current waiting list extended until the end of next year.

It was impossible for Bo Jingyan to have it in three days.

He was clearly setting an unreasonable demand, indicating his unwillingness to forgive her.

“Mr. Bo, can we change the condition?” Xia Qingtian pleaded with a bitter face.

Bo Jingyan hid his emotions, asking in a low and serious tone, “Is this the sincerity with which you’re seeking to atone?”

After saying this, he seemed to signal that she could leave if she couldn’t fulfil it.

Xia Qingtian bit her lip, “Alright, I agree.”

No matter what, she would try first.

It was far better for Bo Jingyan to give her an opportunity rather than outright refusing without any hesitation.

With this mindset, Xia Qingtian tried to muster energy, “Mr. Bo, if you really want to eat it, I’ll find a way to make sure you have it.”

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan’s expression eased a bit, “Good”.

“Wait for me!” Having said this, Xia Qingtian exited the office.

Once back at her desk, she immediately began researching information on Banqiu Mountain Restaurant online.

The private kitchen had a history of more than a hundred years.

It had served heads of state.

It had served foreign politicians.

All guests were treated equally in the restaurant.

No one was exempted from its rules, not even the world’s richest person.

That’s why the restaurant had an exceptionally good reputation at all levels, attracting everyone like a moth to a flame.

Xia Qingtian scratched her head in frustration.

How could she jump the queue and allow Bo Jingyan to enjoy a meal from Banqiu Mountain in three days?

The project between Gu Group and Bo Group was nearing its end.

Xia Qingtian’s daily workload wasn’t much.

She completed all her tasks early and applied for a three-day leave from Senior Gu Jinchen.

After leaving the company, she headed straight for Banqiu Mountain.

Although she already knew the answer, she was still willing to give it a shot for Bo Jingyan and approached the restaurant manager with her request.

As expected.

She was rejected outright.

Xia Qingtian, on the verge of leaving with disappointment, suddenly noticed a kitchen helper seeking a leave of absence to mourn a death.

The restaurant had just fired a helper for breaking the rules and hadn’t found a suitable replacement yet. If another left, they would be short-staffed.

But with the helper asking for bereavement leave, the manager couldn’t refuse.

Xia Qingtian immediately saw an opportunity.

“Manager, I, I can help.” She quickly volunteered.

“You… can you cook?” The manager looked at her doubtfully.

“I can, and I’m quite good at it. I’ve even cooked as a personal chef for the CEO of Bo Group.” Xia Qingtian pushed herself out there, praising her own skills.
