Xia Qingtian nodded, said nothing more, and went back to the kitchen to continue her work.
Over the next few days.
Bo Jingyan basically left home early in the morning and returned late at night, busy with his project.
Every day, he was already out when Xia Qingtian woke up, and he didn’t come back until after she’d gone to bed.
They missed each other many days in a row.
All she did every day was prepare meals, have the butler serve them, and then rest. She was quite content.
One afternoon.
As usual, Xia Qingtian was reading in the garden of the villa when she heard the sound of the front gate opening. Looking up, she saw a black Bentley driving in.
It was Bo Jingyan returning.
Xia Qingtian glanced at the time on her phone, closed her book, stood up, and walked in the direction of the living room.
The car stopped in front of the villa and Bo Jingyan got out.
Wearing a grey windcheater, his tall and slim figure, a handsome face that could make one hold their breath to admire underneath his neat short hair, his heavy steps, all of him exuded an aura of easy elegance.
Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him as he walked in.
No wonder he attracted Luo Nainai.
This face must be many girls’ dream guy.
As Bo Jingyan entered the living room and handed his coat to the approaching butler, his gaze fell on Xia Qingtian. In a low voice, he said, “The project has been finalized. There will be a celebration banquet tonight. You will accompany me.”
Xia Qingtian hesitated, asking somewhat confused, “Why should I go?”
She came to H Country to cook, so attending a celebration banquet was a bit odd, wasn’t it?
Was it possible that the banquet was short of a cook?
Hearing her question, Bo Jingyan’s brow furrowed slightly. His voice dropped lower, hinting at a touch of displeasure, “You are going as my date to the banquet!”
Xia Qingtian was taken aback, looking a little surprised.
She didn’t expect Bo Jingyan to invite her as his date.
He obviously had many other options…even Luo Nainai as an admirer!
Why would he suddenly choose her…?
As she thought about that, an inexplicable feeling surged in Xia Qingtian’s heart, prompting her to ask, “Why me?”
Upon hearing her question, Bo Jingyan looked up at her clean face, his deep black eyes indiscernible of any emotions, his voice distant and faint, “What, you don’t want to?”
“No, I’m just curious.” Xia Qingtian flashed a half smile, replied awkwardly.
Seeing her like this, for some reason, Bo Jingyan felt the need to explain, “The banquet will end and we will return home immediately after. Time is tight, that’s why I want you to come.”
Hearing his explanation, Xia Qingtian finally understood, “So that’s why.”
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to pick a gown.” Bo Jingyan lifted his lips, his mood inexplicably eased.
The two drove to the largest shopping center in H Country.
The top floor of the mall was the most luxurious area. Bo Jingyan took her straight through the VIP entrance.
As soon as they stepped inside, a shop assistant immediately greeted them obsequiously.
Xia Qingtian watched as the shop assistant smile and converse with Bo Jingyan in the language of H Country. Looking around, she saw that the shop was filled with designer dresses of the season.
Each one she picked randomly had a price tag with seven digits and up.
Even before the Xia Family went bankrupt, she had never worn such luxurious dresses.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but be amazed.
The salesman guided them to the rest area, presented a catalogue of the latest season’s collection for Xia Qingtian to browse, and soon brought champagne and fruit, offering meticulous and considerate service.
As Xia Qingtian was flipping through the catalogue, Bo Jingyan, sitting next to her, suddenly had his phone rang.
She looked up to see his signal for her to continue, then he picked up the phone and walked off to take the call.
Xia Qingtian continued to choose a dress.
A few minutes later, Bo Jingyan ended his call and walked to her.
He leaned over slightly, his deep, magnetic voice recounting, “I have something to deal with. As soon as you choose the dress, I’ll send someone to take you directly to the main venue.”
“What?”
Xia Qingtian was taken aback, looking up subconsciously at his stern face, and said somewhat awkwardly, “Do I go there alone?”
She wasn’t familiar with this banquet at all, and without Bo Jingyan, she would feel odd going in alone.
“I’ll arrange for someone to meet you, no need to worry.” Bo Jingyan saw the anxiety on her face, his voice was casually reassuring.
With his words, Xia Qingtian had no reason to make a fuss.
After all, she had agreed to accompany him to the banquet.
She nodded, “I understand.”
Hearing her, Bo Jingyan glanced at her, then stood up and left.
After he left, Xia Qingtian continued to browse the catalogue, finally choosing a blue evening dress.
After picking up the dress, she got into the car that was heading to the main venue and went to the banquet hall backstage directly.
Bo Jingyan had not given any instructions to the VIP room before he left in a hurry, thus she had not been arranged for a wardrobe change and styling.
Although she would be fine on the street with her current outfit, walking into the backstage of the banquet, where all the women wore magnificent dresses and jewels, she was noticeable with her oriental face and in a shirt and trousers.
The staff led her to Bo Jingyan’s private rest room.
All along the way, she attracted a plethora of gazes. Feeling the eyes at her back, Xia Qingtian was somewhat uncomfortable, but she put on a brave face and tried not to show weakness.
After all, she was currently Bo Jingyan’s date, whatever she did would somewhat reflect on him.
And doing anything out of the ordinary in such a venue would only draw more attention.
“Bitch! Stop, who let you in here?”
At that moment, an unfriendly voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Xia Qingtian halted, turned around.
A tall, fine-looking woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing high heels and holding a glass of red wine, was slowly walking towards her.
Xia Qingtian was stunned, she instinctually looked around a few times, confirming the woman was addressing her, she immediately furrowed her brows.
These two women seemed to be looking for trouble.
But who are they?
She doesn’t even know them!
The woman walked up to her, glancing contemptuously at her from top to bottom, tugged at the sleeve of her shirt, and scornfully said, “Do you think this is a marketplace? How could you have the audacity to show up dressed in this trash? You should stay where you belong in the storage room, not embarrassing yourself in front of everyone else!”
“What does what I wear have to do with you?” Xia Qingtian shook off her hand, looked at her with confusion, and asked back, “I have no grudge with you, who are you to insult me as soon as you see me?”
“You stole Nainai’s man, I naturally have to teach you a lesson!” The woman snorted coldly, her face suddenly darkening.
Nainai?
It finally dawned on Xia Qingtian that this woman was Luo Nainai’s friend!
“Miss Linda, this lady is Mr. Bo’s date…” One of the staff saw that they were about to argue and quickly came forward to intervene.
Linda turned to glare at her, the staff member immediately dared not speak anymore, gave Xia Qingtian a sympathetic look, and silently retreated to the side.
Xia Qingtian fearlessly looked at her, mocking coldly, “As far as I know, Bo Jingyan is a married man, and his wife is not Luo Nainai, isn’t she? What, do you spoilt daughters of aristocrats have a thing for being the mistress?”
If someone comes up looking for trouble, they’d better not expect her to be polite!
