Chapter 32 -32 Bo Jingyan’s Test_1

Upon seeing his dazed expression, Shen Yaxuan thought some discovery had been made, and leaned in for a look.

At just that moment, he glimpsed Xia Qingtian’s face in the photo and was momentarily stunned.

This woman… why does she seem familiar?

Where might he have seen her before?

Shen Yaxuan furrowed his brows, supposing she may be a socialite or heiress with whom he had crossed paths at some banquet. As his memory of her wasn’t profound, he didn’t dwell on it.

“So, have you found anyone memorable in these?” Shen Yaxuan asked.

Bo Jingyan withdrew his expression and placed the photo back on the table. With a cool tone, he said, “No.”

“Not even a single impression?”

Shen Yaxuan muttered to himself, picked the photo back up to flip once more, and shrugged helplessly, “I’ll see this through anyway and continue the investigation on your behalf, to see which of these nine women is the one you met that night.”

Bo Jingyan slightly nodded, coldly expressing his gratitude, “Thanks for taking up this task. Once resolved, I’ll give you the land deal in the south district.”

“Jingyan, nice one!” Upon hearing this, Shen Yaxuan instantly got spirited.

That block of land is worth two hundred million in the market!

Bo Jingyan didn’t respond. He thinned his lips, his expression complex, an unclear darkness clouding his eyes.

He had called Shen Qing over that night to discuss their divorce.

An unknown woman ended up barging in and he had an encounter with her.

He has been skirting around these two issues: locating Shen Qing and this mystery woman.

Now… both mysteries seem to lead to Xia Qingtian.

What exactly did she do at the hotel that night?

Having these thoughts, Bo Jingyan’s eyes darkened, he looked at Shen Yaxuan and coldly said, “Yaxuan, I have another favor to ask.”

“Go ahead!” Shen Yaxuan responded.

Meanwhile, outside the study.

Xia Qingtian had just brought their midnight snack to the study and was about to knock on the door, when she unexpectedly heard Bo Jingyan’s voice from inside. The voice wasn’t clear but she faintly heard the word “Yaxuan.”

Yaxuan?

Why did that name feel oddly familiar?

Xia Qingtian furrowed her brows, her hand stopped mid-air, feeling puzzled.

Wait!!

Something suddenly dawned on her, Xia Qingtian’s pupils dilated, her whole body froze.

Yaxuan?

Could that be Shen Yaxuan?!

The man that Chen Momo had helped her investigate, the one from the hotel that night?!

As if to confirm her suspicion, Bo Jingyan’s voice sounded again from inside the study. She distinctly heard him say “Shen Yaxuan.”

Upon hearing these three words, Xia Qingtian’s hand trembled, nearly dropping the tray she was holding.

She hastily steadied herself, too scared to breathe, lest she be discovered.

Damn!!!

If it really is Shen Yaxuan, and if he recognises her, won’t that lead to a blatant showdown?!

No!

She needs to hide immediately, her safety comes first!

Spotting a maid walking by, Xia Qingtian quickly approached her, handed her the tray and begged, “I’m sorry, I’m feeling a bit unwell, could you please deliver this meal to Mr. Bo?”

The maid saw her urgency, did not refuse, and took the tray.

Xia Qingtian thanked her repeatedly, then rushed downstairs and hid in the kitchen at the quickest speed.

Bo Jingyan had a rule, only after he has finished eating could she leave.

By now it was late, and there were no taxis available outside the villa.

She had no choice but to remain hidden, to avoid a run-in with Shen Yaxuan!!

She was unsure of how long she stayed.

She heard the sound of a car driving away outside, but wasn’t certain if it was him leaving.

Xia Qingtian continued hiding in the kitchen, not daring to come out.

She never expected to run into Shen Yaxuan here.

She had previously tried hard and failed to find any trace of him, yet now he was right beside her!

What was more dramatic was…

Shen Yaxuan was actually Bo Jingyan’s good friend!

What kind of ridiculous plot twist was this?!

Xia Qingtian was biting her lip, frustrated and confused, keeping a close eye on the movement in the living room, her heart throbbing with anxiety almost to the point of fainting.

If the man in the hotel that night was indeed Shen Yaxuan…

If Bo Jingyan found out about this, not only had she cheated on him within their marriage, but she had even done so with his best friend, then…

Xia Qingtian shivered with dread, she couldn’t bear thinking about such a hellish situation!

Just as she was thinking, suddenly a shadow loomed at the doorway.

Her pupils contracted, and her heart jumped into her throat. She held her breath tightly.

Could it be Shen Yaxuan?

She swallowed nervously, not daring to lift her head.

The tall figure of Bo Jingyan appeared at the kitchen doorway. Seeing Xia Qingtian looking like an ostrich, his brows knitted tightly, and in an unsatisfied tone asked, “What are you doing here?”

Upon hearing a familiar voice…

Xia Qingtian hastily lifted her head to see Bo Jingyan alone and she released the breath she’d been holding as if a weight had lifted.

Thankfully it wasn’t Shen Yaxuan.

She gave an awkward smile and said, “I was looking through recipe books… Jingyan, did you enjoy your late-night snack?”

Bo Jingyan stared at her, thinking for a moment, and then coldly asked, “I saw you at the old mansion last night. When did you meet my grandfather?”

The old mansion? His grandfather?

Xia Qingtian was stunned, instantly realizing that he was referring to her dinner with his grandfather last night.

You’ve got to be kidding me!

How did he find out about that too?

Why didn’t she see Bo Jingyan there?!

When it rains, it really pours!

Xia Qingtian swallowed nervously, her eyes shifting as she quickly came up with an excuse, “Well… your grandfather invited me over. He knew that I’ve been cooking for you, and he suspected our relationship, so he called me over for questioning.”

This excuse should be pretty convincing!!

“What else did he ask you?” Bo Jingyan asked with an icy, expressionless stare.

“He also asked me about your relationship with the Young Madam and if you had met for meals… mainly things like that.” Xia Qingtian tried to laugh it off, but her face was deathly pale.

Bo Jingyan’s dark eyes stared intently at her, the depth of his gaze inscrutable, making it impossible to decipher his emotions.

Xia Qingtian was extremely nervous.

Thankfully, his grandfather was there to provide a cover.

If she could get her story straight with him, she should be able to avoid any slips.

Bo Jingyan crossed his arms over his chest, leaning against the door with a cold expression, his aloof demeanour exerting heavy pressure.

He looked like he was interrogating her.

Bo Jingyan observed the changes in her emotion, thinking of the surveillance photos and everything else.

All the pieces fell together in his mind.

He suddenly came up with a scheme.

“Next time he contacts you, let me know.” Bo Jingyan retracted his icy gaze and spoke in an indifferent tone, “You look terrible, I’ll give you a day off tomorrow to rest. Stop going around looking so pale, you look like you’re sick.”

Xia Qingtian was taken aback.

She hadn’t expected to get a day off out of this situation.

“Thank you, Jingyan.”

Bo Jingyan looked at her for a moment, a meaningful smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

He said nothing further and turned to leave the kitchen.

Xia Qingtian shivered under his smile.

He didn’t ask further… he probably wasn’t suspicious, right?
