?Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Unexpected Call_1 Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Unexpected Call_1 Bo Jingyan suspected that his grandfather had a hidden agenda.
“Grandfather, what are you implying?” He frowned slightly and his dark pupils flashed a trace of deep incomprehension.
“I can’t tell you about this matter for now. You will understand when you meet Qingqing at the annual celebration. I promise, it will be a surprise; it will make you very happy.” Bo’s grandfather hinted unabashedly.
The more Bo Jingyan listened, the stranger his grandfather’s words seemed to him.
It was as if something unknown was about to happen.
Uncharacteristically, he asked again with persistent curiosity, “Grandfather, what do you really mean?”
“You’ll understand when the time comes.” Bo’s grandfather advised him again, “Make sure don’t divorce Qingqing, we can discuss everything after the annual celebration.”
“Grandfather…” Bo Jingyan wanted to ask more.
But his grandfather was disinclined to say more.
“That’s all, keep my words in mind, don’t worry, I won’t harm you.”
He was afraid that he might inadvertently spill the beans about Xia Qingtian’s dual identity.
If that happened, there would be no surprise.
“All right, I won’t disturb you anymore. You can go about your business.” With that, he hung up the phone.
Bo Jingyan stared blankly at his disconnected mobile phone. As he pondered the suggestive words said by his grandfather, his deep eyes glowed with incomprehensible radiance.
His grandfather and Shen Qing were definitely hiding something from him.
As he was reflecting, at that moment…
“Sorry, I’m late. I was stuck in traffic,” Xia Qingtian panted, as she entered from outside, taking deep breaths.
She was too late to make breakfast for Bo Jingyan, who usually ate early in the morning.
She was afraid that Bo Jingyan would be angry.
Bo Jingyan looked at her, saw the beads of sweat trickling down her exquisite face.
He took a step towards her and stretched out his hand.
Xia Qingtian immediately retreated, widening the distance between them.
“What are you doing?” She showed a hint of wariness in her eyes.
The expression on Bo Jingyan’s face immediately cooled down, “Avoiding me as if I would eat you up?”
Xia Qingtian pursed her lips.
She thought, since they were about to get divorced, it made sense to keep a distance.
But this wasn’t something she could voice out aloud.
She could only gloss over with an excuse, “You are the husband of my best friend, so I need to be cautious.”
Bo Jingyan’s eyes darkened.
So she really cared about this!
“I…” He was about to tell Xia Qingtian, that he had already talked with Shen Qing, and they could divorce anytime soon.
But on second thought, he decided it would be better to wait until the divorce certificate was in hand.
As he was thinking, he showed a different intention, “Wipe the sweat off your face, who can have the appetite to eat food prepared by you?”
Only then, Xia Qingtian noticed a handkerchief in his hand.
She felt quite embarrassed.
She thought that Bo Jingyan was going to touch her face.
“No need, thanks.” Xia Qingtian showed a hint of desolation in her eyes, took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her face.
The refusal was obvious.
Bo Jingyan’s face turned cold instantly.
Xia Qingtian was under pressure.
She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, Bo Jingyan might freeze her to death.
“Well, I’ll go and cook for you.” With that, she hung her head down and hurried into the kitchen.
Bo Jingyan stood still, staring blankly at Xia Qingtian’s retreating figure, his mind filled with thoughts.
Once Xia Qingtian was in the kitchen, seeing that he had not followed her, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She regained her composure, and began cooking breakfast.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of food.
Xia Qingtian brought the cooked breakfast to the dining table and called Bo Jingyan to eat breakfast.
Once done, she prepared to make her exit.
“Where are you going?” As he saw her leaving, Bo Jingyan frowned and asked.
Xia Qingtian hesitated and didn’t dare to look at his face. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to control her racing heart.
She looked down at her feet, “I have already made breakfast, I’ll be going now.”
“Sit down and eat together.” Bo Jingyan did not want her to leave so abruptly.
“No, thanks!” Xia Qingtian shook her head, and said with a bitter taste, “I’m not hungry.”
With that, she was about to leave.
Bo Jingyan sensed that she was avoiding him.
A cold light flashed across his handsome face, his tone was quite probing, “Did Shen Qing tell you something?”
She was fine the day before yesterday.
But yesterday, after taking a day off to accompany Shen Qing for shopping, her attitude towards him changed.
“No.” Xia Qingtian hurriedly denied, “She didn’t tell me anything.”
She was afraid that Bo Jingyan might get angry and trouble Shen Qing, and then her secret would no longer be a secret.
They were about to get divorced.
She couldn’t let the truth get out at this moment.
That would ruin everything!
“Since it’s not the case, sit down and have breakfast.” Bo Jingyan firmly held her arm and gestured her to sit down.
“I…” Xia Qingtian was about to refuse again.
“Xia Qingtian….” Bo Jingyan snapped, visibly irritated, “Do you think I’m asking for your opinion?”
Xia Qingtian kept quiet.
Bo Jingyan retained his domineering manner, commanded authoritatively, “Sit down and have breakfast with me.”
With that, he was about to make her sit down.
Deep down, Xia Qingtian cursed her luck.
Just as she was perplexed, and didn’t know what to do, her phone suddenly rang.
Instantly, she felt like a drowning man clutching at a straw.
“Mr. Bo, eat first, I will take a call.”
With that, she quickly took her phone out of her pocket.
Thank God, this call had come just in time so that she didn’t need to have breakfast with Bo Jingyan.
Looking to see who had helped her unwittingly.
When she saw the caller ID, she was undoubtedly taken aback.
Incredibly, it was Bo’s grandfather!
Xia Qingtian was so shocked that she let her cell phone slip from her hand.
With a “clack”, the phone fell to the ground.
She swiftly bent down to pick up her phone.
But someone was faster than her.
He beat her to it and picked up her phone.
Xia Qingtian instinctively attempted to snatch the phone back, “Mr. Bo, give me back my phone!”
“A call from grandfather?” Bo Jingyan caught sight of the caller ID as well. His expression became enigmatic, “Why is grandfather calling you?”
Simultaneously.
The hand that was holding Xia Qingtian’s arm tightened its grip.
“I… I don’t know.” Xia Qingtian’s face turned pale.
At this moment, she was blank.
Only one phrase echoed in her mind —
It’s over!
Bo Jingyan’s dark eyes flashed a glint of mysterious light, “If you don’t know, then accept the call let’s hear what grandfather wants to say.”
