Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Don’t touch a man who is taken_1 Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Don’t touch a man who is taken_1 “It’s okay. Once you’ve handled your affairs, just make it up to me with a birthday celebration,” the old man Bo consoled generously.

“Alright, thank you, Dad!” After Tian Suqin, Bo’s mother, expressed her gratitude and wished the old man Bo a happy birthday, she prepared to end the call.

Old man Bo glanced at Bo Jingyan beside him.

He promptly stopped Tian Suqin, “Xiaoqin, Jingyan is here with me, do you want to speak to him?”

Tian Suqin was taken aback, then replied hoarsely, “No need!”

Upon hearing this, old man Bo didn’t push further, but reminded her, “Take good care of yourself overseas. Once everything is taken care of, come back soon.”

“I understand, Dad.” Tian Suqin ended the call.

“Jingyan, you…” Old man Bo wanted to comfort Bo Jingyan.

But Bo Jingyan maintained his stoic expression. “Grandfather, I’m okay. The banquet is about to start, let’s go out to greet the guests.”

“Alright, alright…” Seeing his composure, old man Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Qingtian, on the other hand, cast a worried glance at Bo Jingyan.

Once the banquet commenced, many people took turns to toast the birthday star.

Old man Bo planned to just wet his lips, a small gesture would suffice.

However, Bo Jingyan stood in front of him, drinking on his behalf, refusing no one.

Many business people wanted to cultivate relations with Bo Jingyan, so they toasted him after they toasted the old man Bo.

Xia Qingtian, noticing this, worried that he might drink too much and feel unwell, wanted to step in and stop him.

Old man Bo, with a complicated expression on his face, stopped her, “Qingtian, he knows his limits. No one can force him to drink if he doesn’t want to.”

After saying this, he sighed inwardly as he glanced at Bo Jingyan again.

He truly regretted allowing Bo Jingyan to hear Tian Suqin’s phone call.

He should have made sure Tian Suqin had returned home before allowing Jingyan to pick her up at the airport.

He thought that after all these years, Jingyan would have gotten used to it. He didn’t expect Jingyan to be affected by this matter, despite not admitting it verbally.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian said nothing more, but felt a mix of worry and heartache.

Finally, the birthday banquet came to an end.

And Bo Jingyan, drunk, was helped into the rest room to rest.

Old man Bo said to Xia Qingtian, “Jingyan is thoroughly drunk, there’s no need to disturb him further by going home. Just spend the night here at the hotel, and spend some time with him as he’s not in a good mood.”

“Alright, I understand,” Xia Qingtian agreed.

Old man Bo prepared to leave.

Zhang Bo had to attend to other matters, leaving him alone.

Xia Qingtian was worried about him being alone and reminded the drunk Bo Jingyan to stay put in the rest room while she walked old man Bo out. She promised him she would be back shortly.

Bo Jingyan nodded vaguely.

Then, regardless of old man Bo’s objections, Xia Qingtian forcefully escort him out of the hotel, watching until he got into the chauffeur’s car, before returning to the rest room to find Bo Jingyan.

However, when she returned to the rest room, she found it empty.

Where was Bo Jingyan?

In his drunken state, where could he have gone?

Could something have happened to him?

Xia Qingtian was instantly filled with worry. She wanted to go out to find him, but the hotel was too large and without a target, she had no idea where to start.

So, she found the hotel manager and requested to review the hotel’s surveillance footage.

They located him quickly.

In the surveillance footage, a woman entered the rest room stealthily after she left, then left with the drunken Bo Jingyan leaning on her.

Xia Qingtian recognized the woman at a glance, it was —

Chen Momo!!!

A sinister glint flashed in her eyes.

She immediately set out to find them.

Soon after, she found Bo Jingyan and Chen Momo in the hotel’s back garden.

“I need to find Qingtian…” Bo Jingyan attempted to push away Chen Momo who was supporting him.

Chen Momo had waited patiently for Bo Jingyan to get drunk and be alone. Why would she give up such an opportunity?

She was determined to hook up with the younger Bo today and truly become his woman.

Better still, she aimed to conceive his child.

She would certainly succeed, Xia Qingtian only had that one night at the Imperial Hotel, there was no reason she couldn’t surpass her.

With that in mind, Chen Momo tried to pacify Bo Jingyan. “Master Bo, I am Qingtian. The person you’re looking for is me!”

Bo Jingyan furrowed his brows, a look of confusion crossing his face.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you back to the hotel room to rest,” Chen Momo attempted to drag him off.

Just as Bo Jingyan was about to say something, suddenly…

“Slap–”

The clear sound of a slap echoed.

Chen Momo felt a wave of intense pain on her face. Before she could react, someone forcefully shoved her, causing her to stumble back several steps before regaining her balance.

Her face turned ashen as she looked up, ready to lash out, only to realize that the person who had just slapped her was Xia Qingtian.

This made her even more furious, “Xia Qingtian, are you insane? Why the hell did you hit me?”

Xia Qingtian had already caught hold of Bo Jingyan.

Relieved to see him unharmed and undisturbed by Chen Momo, she took a deep breath.

Then, she looked at Chen Momo with a mocking expression, “Chen Momo, hasn’t anyone ever taught you not to touch other people’s things, especially men?”

A hint of guilt flashed in Chen Momo’s eyes as she thought of her plan, but she defiantly responded, “I was only concerned that Master Bo would be in danger alone in the rest room. That’s why I was going to take him to the presidential suite and rest.”

Xia Qingtian didn’t believe her for a second.

She coldly replied, “Alright, now that I, his legitimate wife, have arrived, I can take good care of him. I implore you to get lost. The further the better.”

Chen Momo bit her lip, feeling resentful.

At this point, Bo Jingyan joined in, “Go, the further the better!”

Chen Momo’s face turned from pale to ashen, but she also knew that her plan for the day had been ruined, it couldn’t go on anymore.

So, she tried to console herself internally.

It’s okay. She missed this opportunity, but there would be others.

She didn’t believe that Xia Qingtian could show up at the nick of time every time.

With this in mind, she felt a little better, “Xia Qingtian, we’ll see how it plays out.”

After speaking, she left with her head held high.

Once Chen Momo was gone, Xia Qingtian turned to Bo Jingyan, “Master Bo, how are you feeling? Shall I help you back to the room to rest?”

Bo Jingyan, recognizing the real Xia Qingtian, ceased struggling.

“No resting!” he said, visibly drunk.

Xia Qingtian looked at him affectionately, “Then what would you like to do? I’ll accompany you!”

Bo Jingyan hadn’t thought about it yet when suddenly…
