Chapter 24 -24 Exposed, Xia Qingtian is your wife_1
Xia Qingtian was about to say something when someone from behind suddenly asked her to pour wine, so she had to leave.
Watching her retreat, Bo Jingyan knitted his brows slightly, an air of pensiveness about him.
This woman, why couldn’t she just stay put?
Being his private cook wasn’t enough for her, she even took up these extra tasks!
The people at the table watched Bo Jingyan’s expression, speculating on the relationship between him and the waitress who had just spoken to him. But no one dared to speak up, fearing they might guess wrong and step on a landmine.
Seeing Xia Qingtian leave, the old man’s face turned solemn, and he turned to Bo Jingyan, saying, “Jingyan, come over here, I have something important to discuss with you.”
“Okay.” Bo Jingyan nodded in response and helped the old man towards the rest area.
This old man was a close friend of Old Master Bo and the founder of the Lu Corporation, the sponsor of this banquet.
Bo Jingyan treated him with the same respect as his own grandfather.
Once they were in a room, the old man looked at Bo Jingyan earnestly, his face full of bewilderment, “Did you and Qingqing have a disagreement? Why did you let her work as a waitress at the banquet?”
After all, Shen Qing was the Young Madam of the Bo Family.
No matter what, she shouldn’t have had to appear as a waitress at this banquet.
“Qingqing?” Bo Jingyan wrinkled his brows, somewhat confused.
Did Shen Qing come to the banquet too?
Seeing his confusion, the impatient old man got irritated, leaning on his cane, he said, “The woman who was talking to you just now, she is your wife, Shen Qing! Didn’t you recognize her?!”
“What did you say?”
Bo Jingyan’s pupils contracted, and a trace of shock flashed through his eyes.
The woman who was just talking to him was Xia Qingtian.
Did the old man just say that Xia Qingtian was Shen Qing?
What was going on here?
After Shen Qing and he got married, he had immediately sent her abroad. Had the old man seen her before?
Seeing his expression, the old man frowned and said discontentedly, “What kind of a husband are you? Your wife was working as a waitress at the banquet and you didn’t even notice? Your grandfather told me recently that she just returned to China and I didn’t expect to run into her here. Tell me, are you two having marital issues?”
Bo Jingyan sobered up, his expression becoming serious, “Old Lu, have you seen Shen Qing before?”
“Of course I have, otherwise how could I have recognized her!” the old man declared, “Previously, your grandfather and I went abroad together, and it was Qingqing who accompanied us. She was our tour guide. She’s an excellent young woman, and I remember her vividly.”
“…”
It all became clear to Bo Jingyan. His face darkened, a subtle trace of understanding flashing in his eyes.
Indeed.
Shen Qing was Xia Qingtian!
His previous suspicions hadn’t been unfounded!
All this time, Shen Qing had been pretending to be Xia Qingtian, deceiving him, staying by his side!
Thinking of this, a chilling light surfaced in Bo Jingyan’s eyes, stirring up a sense of dread.
…
Xia Qingtian was busy until the banquet was over, her back aching from the effort.
She cleaned up, grabbed her bag and left through the front.
By now, the guests had left, and only a few figures of cleaners could be seen in the vast, luxurious hall, leaving it cold and deserted.
Xia Qingtian was walking out when, all of sudden, a blast of piercingly bright car lights shot towards her, lighting her up and dangerously hurting her eyes.
Xia Qingtian hurriedly shielded her eyes, hearing the car door swing open and couldn’t help but look over.
Who would turn on the high beam lights right in front of her?
In her line of sight, the tall figure of Bo Jingyan appeared amidst the dazzling light. His short hair slightly ruffled by the night wind, his handsome face was especially bewitching under the glare. His pair of dark eyes were fixated on her, an icy grimness coloring his features.
“Mr. Bo?” Xia Qingtian lowered her hand, looking at him incredulously.
The banquet had ended a long time ago.
Why was Bo Jingyan still here?
Did he have something important to discuss with her?
It surely wasn’t possible that he was waiting specifically for her, was it?
Had he found out about her identity?
Thinking about how she had continuously made him suspicious of late.
Xia Qingtian’s heart did flip-flops, she nervously swallowed and unwittingly clutched her bag straps tighter.
“Get in the car.” Bo Jingyan commanded frostily, his voice oppressive, making her heart flutter.
“I’ve already called for a car…” Xia Qingtian pointed at her phone, forcing a smile.
Wasn’t Bo Jingyan’s face scowling?

This didn’t look like it led to anything good!
With him staring at her, Bo Jingyan suddenly sneered, his voice laden with sarcasm,”Do you want me to drag you into the car?”
“…”
Xia Qingtian’s heart quivered slightly, she had this feeling that Bo Jingyan was acting strangely, especially the look in his eyes… it looked like he was really angry.
She dared not provoke him.
Xia Qingtian had to get in the car.
She opened the rear car door, saw the driver sitting in the driver’s seat, and after a moment of hesitation, quickly opened the front passenger door, intending to get in…
Bo Jingyan’s icy gaze swept over, causing her hand to tremble. She obediently returned to the backseat.
Sitting in the car, Xia Qingtian leaned against the window, trying her best to maintain a safe distance from Bo Jingyan.
It wasn’t her that was being overly flustered.
The truth was that Bo Jingyan’s face just now had been too frightening!
Although he usually didn’t show many expressions, he had never been that scary. Today, she could clearly feel… he was different than usual.
But these days, she hadn’t done anything to upset him, had she?
Could it be because her identity had been exposed?
Thinking that, Xia Qingtian nervously swallowed and fearfully glanced at Bo Jingyan.
Bo Jingyan, with a cool look on his face, got into the car and sat next to her.
The once spacious back seat suddenly felt cramped and stifling as he entered, making it hard for her to breathe.
The atmosphere in the car was oppressively tense.
“Return to the villa.” Bo Jingyan ordered coldly, void of emotion.
“Yes, Mr. Bo.” The driver started the engine upon hearing his words.
The car launched onto the road, speeding off.
She had taken the day off; what was he doing taking her back to the villa?!
Could it be.. was he intending to rebuke her?!
Xia Qingtian was suddenly reminded of the statements Bo Jingyan had previously made about “breaking legs and feet.” She couldn’t help but shudder in fear.
Sensing her unease, Bo Jingyan cast a cold glance at her, his eyes as cold as ice.
“Uh… Mr. Bo, I took today off.” Seeing him look at her, Xia Qingtian met his gaze and said timidly.
“I know.” Bo Jingyan scoffed mockingly, his smile enigmatic.
Since she dared to disguise herself and stay by his side.
He was in no hurry to expose her.
He would go along with her ploy, curious to see what her ultimate goal was!
Thinking this, Bo Jingyan retracted his gaze and said icily, “Starting today, you will be on call 24/7, and in charge of my late-night snacks!”
What?!
Why had he suddenly increased her workload?!
Xia Qingtian startled, she protested anxiously, “Mr. Bo, this wasn’t part of our initial agreement…”
“The contract clearly states at the very end that the final interpretation belongs to Party A, that is, what I say goes. If you don’t want to continue, then pay the breach penalty of one million, and I’ll let you go!”
Bo Jingyan’s voice rang in Xia Qingtian’s ears like a haunting whisper, filled with a near inhuman coldness, his face even bearing a trace of derision.
