Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Apologizing to the Petit Wife_1
Xia Qingtian, sensing his unyielding stare, tried to keep calm and returned his gaze, allowing an unspoken conversation to pass between them.
Just then.
The voice of the host suddenly echoed from the front of the banquet hall, announcing that the auction was about to begin and asked attendees to head to the main event hall.
Upon hearing this, Master Lu instantly broke the silence, warmly suggesting, “Jingyan, the auction is starting, let’s go in.”
Bo Jingyan slightly composed himself, nodded curtly, and coldly walked forward.
Xia Qingtian, remaining stationary, watched as Master Lu, walking ahead, turned around to flash her a smile full of implications and signaled her to follow with his eyes.
Xia Qingtian was taken aback for a mont, but quickly regained her composure and rushed to catch up. Together they entered the main event hall and found their seats.
The organizers briefly explained the the of this auction on stage, promising to donate the proceeds to dostic organizations for the disabled.
Xia Qingtian absentmindedly listened, completely engrossed in her thoughts.
Master Lu’s previous expression, was it hinting at sothing?
Was he deliberately helping her?
But why…
Frustratingly, there seed to be no valid reason for him to act this way.
Moreover, how did he find out about her fabricated identity?
Could soone be keeping a close eye on everything she was doing privately…
Lost in thought, suddenly the room’s lights go dim and spotlight shone on the stage.
The hostess elegantly holds a jewelry box, its contents brilliantly sparkling, captivating the entire audience.
A close-up of the necklace within the box is displayed on the large screen above the stage. It’s a Fine Crystal Necklace, with sky-blue sheen and a teardrop-shaped pendant.
The dazzling charm of the gemstone commands everyone’s attention.
Xia Qingtian’s chain of thoughts is disrupted by the necklace and she can’t help but take another look. Soon after, her thoughts take over again.
No matter what, her identity was still hidden.
But Bo Jingyan seed a bit upset earlier, she wondered if he would try other thods to probe her in the future.
Suddenly she rembered how he had targeted her before.
Then it hit her…
So, it was all his doing!!!
He had been toying with her all along!!!
Bo Jingyan was staring at the necklace on the stage, his eyes showed a faint glow. His gaze beca solemn and when the bidding started, he raised a bidding plate.
Xia Qingtian glanced to her side, feeling a bit awkward.
Well…
At least she had nothing to worry about tonight.
She had to be more cautious in the future.
An hour later.
The auction ended.
Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan together headed to the parking lot.
They found Bo Jingyan’s car and both climbed in, taking their seats in the back.
Xia Qingtian leaned imdiately against the window of the car, noticing that the car was not moving. She turned her head and saw Bo Jingyan staring intently at her. Her heart tightened, she blurted out, “Mr. Bo, is there anything else?”
Was he going to interrogate her?
Catching the terrified look in her eyes, Bo Jingyan frowned becomingly conscious of his own intensity. He lightened his expression, reached into his pocket.
Xia Qingtian held her breath, not blinking as she watched his hand.
What was he taking out?
Did he unmask new evidence?
Just as she was thinking this, Xia Qingtian saw Bo Jingyan pulling out a jewelry box, making her freeze.
Wasn’t that the jewelry box from the auction?
Without any expression, Bo Jingyan pulled out a jewelry box and handed it directly to her. He said coldly, “Sorry about what happened before, please accept this as an apology.”
Xia Qingtian was stupefied for a mont, she looked at him incredulously.
Wait, What?!
Had she heard that right?
Was Bo Jingyan apologizing to her?
In a state of disbelief, Xia Qingtian dazedly asked, “What did you say?”
Bo Jingyan’s expression darkened instantly. He threw the jewelry box into her arms, his tone turning rigid, “Xia Qingtian, don’t push your luck!”
He simply regretted toying with her earlier.
He was worried she wouldn’t cook for him because of it, and so decided to apologize.
Holding the jewelry box, Xia Qingtian opened it and saw the Fine Crystal Necklace from the auction inside.
Holy Cow!
Bo Jingyan can be incredibly ostentatious!
If she rembered correctly, this necklace was sold for 15 million.
It was allegedly a token of affection from an English Queen from the last century.
15 million for an apology…
“I accept your apology, but this…is unnecessary.” Xia Qingtian said, promptly handing back the jewelry box.
Given that she had already deceived him, she couldn’t accept such an expensive gift!
If she lost it, selling herself wouldn’t even be enough to make up for it!
Upon seeing her refuse, Bo Jingyan, with a stern face, observed her hands and grinded his teeth, reluctantly saying, “Xia Qingtian, keep what I gave you. If you don’t want it, throw it away.”
Anything he gave away, should never co back.
Does this woman lack a brain or sothing?!
Seeing his anger, Xia Qingtian reluctantly accepted for the ti being.
Dumbfounded.
This piece of jewelry was so expensive. If lost, wouldn’t it be a huge waste?
Seeing her accept, Bo Jingyan’s expression relaxed a bit. He grunted coldly and soon after, asked, “Where do you live? I’ll drop you off.”
Xia Qingtian thought for a few seconds before giving him an approximate location.
The car started and slowly drove out of the parking lot onto the road.
Their journey was silent.
After dropping Xia Qingtian at her supposed residence, Bo Jingyan, with a serious face, watched from the car as she walked into the apartnts.
Reading the na of the residential complex – Apricot Forest Bay.
She lives here?
“To the villa,” Bo Jingyan ordered coldly to the driver after ensuring she had safely entered the apartnts.
“Yes, sir,” the driver acknowledged, ignited the engine, and drove away.
The car soon disappeared in the distance.
Xia Qingtian, hiding in a building, heard the car drive away. It wasn’t until after she had waited several minutes in silence, confird Bo Jingyan was far away, she left the residential complex.
This residential complex is quite near her ho.
Not too close, therefore, unlikely to raise suspicion.
She cannot let Bo Jingyan know that she lives in Shen Qing’s house!
Otherwise, she’ll be suspect again, despite the hard-earned safety she currently had!
Once ho, Xia Qingtian was uneasily t by Xia Guohua, who was worriedly looking over the bills covering the coffee table in the living room. Seeing her enter, he quickly stood up.
“Dad, why aren’t you sleeping?” Xia Qingtian asked suspiciously.
Xia Guohua saw her still dressed up and couldn’t stop himself from asking, “Qingtian, where did you go this late?”
“Oh, I attended a dinner party with so friends,” Xia Qingtian replied casually.
“How are things between you and Bo Jingyan lately? Dad’s company is on the verge of collapse…” Upon hearing her, Xia Guohua couldn’t resist standing up to approach her.
Hearing this caused Xia Qingtian distress. She sighed, saying wearily, “I understand, I’m trying to find solutions.”
“By the way, Bo Jingyan’s assistant visited
at the company twice recently,” Xia Guohua suddenly said, seemingly reminded of sothing important.
“What?!”
