The CEO’s Unkown Wife

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 The Inescapable_1 Chapter 78: Chapter 78 The Inescapable_1 “That’s because…” Xia Qingtian licked her lips and responded hastily, “I knew you were busy, I didn’t want to disturb your work because of my issues.”

“Moreover, Mr. Bo didn’t make things difficult for me. After having me brought here, he just asked me to cook a meal, which I often do for you anyway.”

“Why were you holding Grandpa’s arm so intimately just now?” Bo Jingyan eyed them both, asking in an ambiguous manner.

“Well, she’s quite a good cook, and I overate unintentionally. I wanted to take a walk,” the old man pointed at Xia Qingtian, “She was insistently trying to help me. Suspicious behavior either indicates deceit or theft.”

Bo Jingyan didn’t respond.

Both Xia Qingtian and Bo’s grandfather were a bit nervous.

They all knew that Bo Jingyan was too smart to be easily fooled.

They wondered whether they could pass this round smoothly.

The old man couldn’t care less.

He continued his act, warning Xia Qingtian with a stern face, “In any case, stop bothering my grandson. He already has a wife, her name is Shen Qing. You have no chance, give up soon.”

Xia Qingtian immediately waved her hands.

“Mr. Bo, don’t worry, I have absolutely no intentions towards Bo Jr!”

“Hmm, that’s how it should be!”

The old man nodded with satisfaction, “If I ever see you pestering Jingyan again, it won’t be as simple as asking you to cook next time.”

Bo Jingyan felt a surge of anger when he saw Xia Qingtian assertively tell his grandpa that she had no feelings for him.

Doesn’t she like me one bit?

He said to his grandfather without expression, “Grandpa, don’t get her involved in my matters with Shen Qing.”

Upon hearing this, the old man was not angry.

The more this brat defended Xia Qingtian, the more it meant he liked her.

When he finds out the truth, that Xia Qingtian is Shen Qing, let’s see if he’s willing to divorce then!

“Whether she gets involved or not depends on your actions.” With that, he left, leaning on Zhang Bo.

He decided to leave the space to the young couple, let them be alone.

As Xia Qingtian watched the old man leave, she was still a bit nervous, wondering if they cleared the round.

She gingerly lifted her gaze and looked towards Bo Jingyan.

Met with an unexpected pair of cold eyes, she took a step back in fright.

Seeing her like this, Bo Jingyan asked with a more cryptic look, “You have absolutely no feelings for me?”

“I…” Xia Qingtian bit her lip.

She was unsure how to answer this question.

Her thoughts about Bo Jingyan…

Thinking about how she was pushed into the water before, framed by Xue Peng and nearly insulted, and almost got hit by a car, each time he was the one to save her.

Without him, she might not even have the chance to stand here and discuss this issue with him.

How could she possibly have absolutely no feelings for Bo Jingyan?

But, all this was based on deception.

If Bo Jingyan found out that she was Shen Qing, then…

Xia Qingtian didn’t dare to think further.

Seeing her pale face and her puzzled expression, so pitiful and helpless, Bo Jingyan felt a wave of pity.’
Alright, never mind!

There’s a long road ahead!

He will make Xia Qingtian fall for him!

“Let’s go…” Bo Jingyan led the way.

Seeing that he didn’t ask further and his facial expression softened, Xia Qingtian heaved a sigh of relief.

“Where to?” She quickly followed.

Bo Jingyan’s legs were too long, she had to trot to keep up.

“I’m hungry, prepare something to eat.” Bo Jingyan slowed his pace, seeing that she couldn’t keep up.

In the meantime, they had arrived at the kitchen.

The servants had just brought the leftovers from the evening meal into the kitchen to dispose of, seeing Bo Jingyan, they respectfully greeted him.

“You guys go busy yourself with other things.” Bo Jingyan commanded emotionlessly.

Hearing this, the servants immediately left.

Xia Qingtian quickly said, “Mr. Bo, why don’t you wait outside? I’ll serve it when it’s ready.”

Bo Jingyan’s gaze fell on the leftovers in the kitchen.

“Did you cook all of these?” He asked instead of answering.

“Yes.” Xia Qingtian clenched her hands tightly, nodding somewhat nervously.

Given how much the old man spoiled her, inviting her for a meal, how could he possibly have her cook?

The dishes were prepared by the chef!

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan narrowed his eyes dangerously.

She’s lying again!

These dishes weren’t cooked by her.

Having been her private chef for so long, he had noticed some small habits of hers that even she might not have noticed.

She doesn’t like garlic, and never uses it in her cooking.

But these leftovers, they all had garlic in them.

Both she and Grandpa were lying!!!

“Mr. Bo, what’s wrong?” Xia Qingtian saw that Bo Jingyan was silent, her heart was in turmoil.

Had he discovered something?

Bo Jingyan didn’t say a word, only gazing at her intensely.

Under such a gaze, Xia Qingtian felt as if she were stripped naked in front of a large crowd.

All her secrets were exposed.

She feared such stares.

“Mr. Bo, you must be hungry. Let me quickly make you a bowl of noodles to fill your stomach.” Xia Qingtian awkwardly averted her gaze, turned around pretending to be busy and didn’t dare look at Bo Jingyan.

Bo Jingyan watched her bustling figure silently.

The warm orange light in the kitchen shone upon her, making her appear endearingly gentle.

His heart instantly softened.

He originally planned to taste these leftovers. In his experience, if these dishes weren’t cooked by Xia Qingtian, they’d taste mediocre to him.

One taste would reveal everything.

Whether she had lied or not.

But at that moment, he suddenly changed his mind.

Xia Qingtian didn’t know what Bo Jingyan was thinking.

She swiftly finished making a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, and after serving them into a bowl…

“Mr. Bo, the noodles are ready. Come, eat.” She took the bowl of noodles to the dining table in the dining room, rubbing her earlobe which was scalded.

Bo Jingyan took a seat at the table.

He picked up a bunch of noodles, took a bite, it was delicious.

“Xia Qingtian…” He swallowed the food in his mouth gracefully, put down his chopsticks, and called her.

“What is it?” Xia Qingtian looked puzzled, “Don’t you like the noodles?”

Bo Jingyan didn’t answer her question, but instead asked softly, “This is the third time, and also the final time that I am asking this, are you hiding anything from me?”
