Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Wild Heartbeat_1
Xia Qingtian finally reacted and looked at him, responding quietly.
After issuing his orders, Bo Jingyan didn’t linger but left directly.
Watching his retreating figure, Xia Qingtian, who had been lancholic for a while, felt her spirits lift and beco brighter.
Xue Peng had been driven out. Even though he did not have to pay the price he deserved, at least, he had lost his high-paying job in the Bo Family. This was a slight relief for Qianqian.
Thinking about this, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but smile, her mood was a lot less oppressed. She started imrsing herself in her work again, with her work efficiency doubling compared to before.
Ti quickly arrived at noon.
Xia Qingtian shut down her computer, took the elevator to Bo Jingyan’s floor and walked straight inside.
Jian Xuan saw her and stood up to greet her. With an expressionless face, he said, “Miss Xia, the president is already waiting for you in the office. Please go inside quickly.”
“Okay.” Xia Qingtian simply nodded and then entered the president’s office straightaway.
After knocking on the door, she heard Bo Jingyan’s cold voice from inside, and then she pushed the door open and walked in.
Once inside, she suddenly felt that the space seed larger than the last ti she was there.
Bo Jingyan was sitting on the sofa. Upon seeing her figure, his cold eyes softened as he gently said, “The kitchen is already prepared for you. You can go ahead and start cooking.”
Xia Qingtian was taken aback.
It was then that she noticed that the next-door office had been connected with this one, forming an open-style kitchen, even with a new dining area added.
The kitchen faced Bo Jingyan’s office desk. He could see her cooking with just one glance.
Xia Qingtian, with a shocked face, walked over to the well-equipped and clean kitchen, her mouth twitching slightly.
Cooking in the highest and most luxurious office in A city, this was indeed a first-ti experience.
Xia Qingtian opened the fridge to check the ingredients inside.
She took out a fresh blackfish, skillfully de-scaled and trimd it, and cut thin slices of fish at an angle…
Bo Jingyan watched Xia Qingtian’s busy figure in the kitchen, his eyes darkening as he stared at her with great intensity.
Thinking about the scene he saw last night, his eyes darkened for a mont as he contemplated.
Xia Qingtian, what exactly is your relationship with Shen Qing?
Xia Qingtian felt his burning gaze and awkwardly continued cutting the vegetables.
Her mind suddenly flashed back to the incident from the night before.
After being frad by Xue Peng, Bo Jingyan rushed over to save her imdiately. In the end, when the drugs had taken effect, he didn’t do anything to her but rather took care of her all night.
Thinking of waking up in Bo Jingyan’s arms the next morning, and of the clean clothes she was wearing, her cheeks instantly grew hot, and unconsciously, her ears turned red.
Feeling his gaze, her heartbeat inexplicably sped up.
Xia Qingtian gently bit her lower lip as she tried her best to finish cooking. After placing the last dish on the table, she felt a great sense of relief. She quickly took off her apron preparing to leave, “Mr. Bo, lunch is ready, now I’ll go…”
“Wait a mont.” Bo Jingyan rose from the sofa and walked towards her with a grave expression.
Xia Qingtian froze in the act of taking off her apron. Seeing Bo Jingyan’s approaching figure, she felt inexplicably nervous. Her heart pounding wildly against her chest. She tried to swallow her anxiety.
Completely ignoring her, Bo Jingyan casually swept a glance over her, then pressed the intercom button on the side table. Jian Xuan’s voice quickly sounded from the other end, “Mr. Bo, anything you need?”
“Bring it in.” Bo Jingyan said coldly, his gaze fixated on Xia Qingtian all the while.
Xia Qingtian awkwardly avoided his gaze, pretending to concentrate on a spot on the floor, unwilling to et his gaze.
She was afraid her heart would beat so fast, it might just explode.
Soon, there ca a knock at the office door.
“Co in.” Bo Jingyan looked towards the door and commanded coldly.
Jian Xuan pushed the door open and walked in.
He kept his head down, holding a white bag in his hand.
After handing over the bag to Bo Jingyan, he left the room imdiately.
“This is yours.” Bo Jingyan handed the bag to Xia Qingtian and then sat down at the dining table.
Xia Qingtian took the bag, glanced at it in confusion, and realized it was the jacket she had worn to the party the other day.
“You were in quite the rush yesterday morning and you left your jacket behind, I had soone wash it clean for you,” Bo Jingyan’s magnetic voice sounded from behind her causing Xia Qingtian’s cheeks to flush.
Blushing, she turned around awkwardly and said to him, “Thank you…”
Bo Jingyan remained silent, his dark eyes scrutinizing her intently, his gaze unfathomable.
“…”
Xia Qingtian felt embarrassed under his intense gaze. She subconsciously shifted her gaze away, clutching the bag in her hand, her voice barely audible, she said, “Mr. Bo… if there’s nothing else, then I’ll…”
Hearing her repeated attempts to leave, Bo Jingyan felt a twinge of annoyance.
She doesn’t want to be with him that much?
Bo Jingyan gathered his thoughts, his gaze never leaving her face as he said in a deep voice, “Xia Qingtian, I’ve saved you once and helped you twice. Don’t you think you should do sothing as a way of thanking
properly?”
Xia Qingtian was stunned for a few seconds. Hearing his words, she looked up at him with a bewildered expression. His intense stare made her tense up, she said awkwardly, “I don’t have anything that could help you, except for cooking so food. But you pay
for that, so I…”
Listening to Bo Jingyan suggest that she should give him sothing in return for his help, she felt sowhat flustered, her mind filled with a series of inappropriate images.
Which is why she started babbling sowhat incoherently.
Seeing her so visibly nervous, Bo Jingyan furrowed his brows, interrupting her with a touch of helplessness, “You can at least invite
to a al, can’t you?”
This woman, usually so astute and shrewd.
Why did she seem so absent-minded now?
“Oh…” Startled, Xia Qingtian quickly agreed, “Alright, whatever you want to eat, I can invite you anyti!”
“There’s no need for anyti, how about this Saturday?” Bo Jingyan suggested casually, picking up a spoon of soup and looking at her intently.
This Saturday?
Xia Qingtian looked at him, a hint of surprise on her face.
“What, you can’t do this Saturday?” Seeing her silent, Bo Jingyan arched his brow, sounding rather stern.
“I can!!!” Xia Qingtian quickly nodded.
Seeing her react so enthusiastically, Bo Jingyan snorted coldly, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across his face.
He offered her an opportunity and she didn’t seize it.
He had to take the initiative; this woman was truly naive.
With that thought, he stopped talking and began eating his al earnestly.
Xia Qingtian took this chance to leave quickly.
After exiting the office, she allowed herself so big breaths in an attempt to calm her pounding heart.
You could have heard a pin drop while she was in the office, she had been so nervous.
But this type of nervousness was different from the fear she felt around him before. It had a hint of a fluttering heart; the feeling was strange.
It seed to be….
