Chapter 69 -69 You are keeping something from me_1
Xia Qingtian paused her actions, looked up to see Bo Jingyan’s bleak face, was slightly startled, and spoke surprisingly, “I was about to call you, didn’t expect you to be here.”
Bo Jingyan stared at her pure face with a complex gaze, his eyes flashing. After a long time, he spoke coldly, “How long have you been here?”
“Just arrived.” Xia Qingtian smiled softly, her laughter clear in her eyes.
Bo Jingyan’s eyes were very deep, looking at her coldly, but his face did not show much emotion.
Seeing Bo Jingyan keep staring at her, with a cold expression and not speaking, Xia Qingtian didn’t think any deeper, because he was often like this. She suggested, “Let’s go in, it’s almost time.”
“Mhm.” Bo Jingyan nodded coldly, put away his sharp gaze, and followed her into the mall.
As they reached the French restaurant, Xia Qingtian realized something was off. The dim lighting inside was ambiguous yet soft. Candlelight was set on the dining tables alongside elegant live music.
What was even stranger was that all the dining guests were couples.
Obviously, this was a couples’ French restaurant.
Bo Jingyan glanced at her with a poignant meaning, his icy face softened. Clearly, he was in a good mood.
Her face darkened, she had wanted to explain but didn’t know how to start.
If only she hadn’t asked the old man!
Now she was set up by him!
A couples’ restaurant… Bo Jingyan wouldn’t misinterpret, would he?
Xia Qingtian awkwardly took her seat.
As soon as the two sat down, the red wine and menu were brought by the waiter.
The two sat face to face, the candlelight reflected on their faces.
Bo Jingyan’s gaze was constantly falling deeply on Xia Qingtian, his eyes incredibly profound.
He flipped through the menu, his voice husky with an almost imperceptible anticipation, asking, “Why did you choose this place?”
“The internet recommended it, saying it’s one of the most check-in worthy restaurants in A City.” Xia Qingtian forced out a stiff smile, fabricating an excuse.
It’s not like she could say it was recommended by the old man, could she?
Bo Jingyan raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn’t inquire further. He was reading the menu, his voice low and magnetic, he asked, “What do you want to eat?”
“Whatever you’re having is fine.” Xia Qingtian said awkwardly, clutching the wine glass, her heart thumping, inexplicably nervous.
Her first time at a candlelight dinner, and the company was Bo Jingyan.
The feeling was too strange…
Bo Jingyan placed an order and gave the menu back to the waiter.
He lifted the glass of red wine and took a sip. As though he thought of something, his eyes darkly fell onto Xia Qingtian, and he suddenly asked, “Xia Qingtian, how long have you been my private chef?”
Xia Qingtian was slightly stunned, looking up at him. The soft candlelight shone on Bo Jingyan’s face, making him appear very gentle.
She did not understand why he would suddenly ask this question.
After a moment of careful consideration, she eventually replied, “A little over a month.”
Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan put down his wine glass, his dark eyes stared straight at her, and asked solemnly, “During this month, have you ever hid anything from me?”
In the past, he always had doubts about Xia Qingtian and had been investigating her repeatedly to uncover the truth.
Thinking about the possibility of her being the woman from that night, he did not want to read those chilling reports anymore.
He wanted to hear her confess.
If she really was Shen Qing…
She confessed to it.
He wouldn’t blame her.
Xia Qingtian stared at him blankly.
Under the candlelight, Bo Jingyan’s face was incredibly attractive, his dark eyes shimmering. He was gracious and tender, simply looking at her.
For some unknown reason, her heart skipped a beat.
Xia Qingtian quickly shifted her gaze, but she didn’t know how to continue.
A sense of panic unknowingly filled her heart.
The things she was hiding from him?
Was he referring to the fact that she was Shen Qing?
Did Bo Jingyan ask her because he had uncovered the truth about her?
Did he know all the secrets?
With that thought, Xia Qingtian felt an immediate pang in her heart. Under the table, her hand involuntarily clenched into a fist.
The restaurant was warm and comfortable, but she felt her body getting cold, making it hard to breathe.
Seeing her silent, Bo Jingyan pursed his lips, looking at her deeply. He said, “If you confess now, I can let bygones be bygones, no matter what deception you have used against me in the past, I can forgive you.”
Having said that, he looked at Xia Qingtian calmly, waiting for her reaction.
His intentions were quite clear; even if she had reservations, she no longer had to fear.
Upon hearing his words, Xia Qingtian didn’t feel relaxed, instead she felt even more nervous.
She had to swallow her saliva and hardly dared to look up at him.
Let her confess…
Was he testing her?
If she addressed her identity as Shen Qing now, would he really forgive her?
With that thought, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but raise her head, looking at Bo Jingyan’s gentle face. Her gaze fell on his profound dark eyes, and her heart suddenly sparked a glimmer of hope.
If his words were true…
“I…”
Xia Qingtian opened her mouth, preparing to reveal all her secrets. But, the image of Bo Jingyan’s cold face flashed across her mind, causing her to stop abruptly.
She had seen Bo Jingyan’s cruelty firsthand the day she was drunken.
He commanded his henchmen to shoot someone, disabling their limbs without even blinking.
Considering how ruthless he was, how would he treat her if he found out she had been deceiving him for so long?
There was adequate heating in the restaurant, but Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but shiver, pulling her thoughts back.
She bit her lower lip, lifted, and took a sip from the wine glass on the table. The rich and fragrant wine poured into her throat, alleviating some of her anxiety.
“No.” Xia Qingtian put down her glass, and finally found her voice. She said firmly, “I haven’t hidden anything from you.”
Upon hearing her response, Bo Jingyan’s eyes flickered with darkness. He gazed at her clean face for a long time before he slowly said, “Since you said there’s nothing you’re hiding from me, then I’ll believe you.”

Xia Qingtian was taken aback, slightly surprised as she looked at him. The hand holding the wine glass involuntarily tightened.
She didn’t mishear, did she…
Bo Jingyan actually said he trusts her?
Inexplicably, she felt a bit guilty and remorseful.
She thought he would interrogate her further, but he said this instead.
Xia Qingtian bit her lip guiltily, the feeling of regret strong in her chest.
Was she overthinking just now?
Instead of trying to probe her, was Bo Jingyan genuinely offering her a chance to confess?
Upon reflection of their time together, despite his bad temper, he had repeatedly helped and taken care of her.
Did she miss a rare opportunity to confess?
With that thought, Xia Qingtian couldn’t help sighing slightly, her heart suddenly felt empty.
But the words were already out. It was too late for regrets.
Seeing her upset, Bo Jingyan’s eyes deepened, and he asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong, are you uncomfortable?”
