Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The Lingering Kiss _1 Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The Lingering Kiss _1 A wave of music sounded, followed by the sudden activation of the musical fountain beside them.

An idea formed quickly in Bo Jingyan’s mind.

He made an inviting gesture towards Xia Qingtian, “Can I invite you to dance?”

Listening to the music, looking at the brilliant starlight, the romantic fountain, and the man in front of her, Xia Qingtian was suddenly moved.

With a smile on her face, she extended her hand to Bo Jingyan.

Their bodies moved together slowly with the rhythm of the music.

After a while, the music ended.

The fountain and the LED lights were switched off, leaving nothing but darkness around them.

But the two of them did not separate.

A cool breeze blew, but Bo Jingyan felt a wave of heat. He couldn’t help but lowered his head.

Just as Xia Qingtian lifted hers.

Their eyes met instantly.

Under the moonlight, they kissed, not knowing who initiated it.

As the kiss deepened, Bo Jingyan’s breath became more urgent, slightly hot.

The hand around Xia Qingtian’s waist felt like a hot iron.

“Can I?” he asked, his voice hoarse as he kissed her cheek, as if repressing something.

Xia Qingtian understood what Bo Jingyan was asking for.

Since she loved Bo Jingyan and he loved her too, things were naturally progressing. Although she felt a bit shy, she still nodded her head firmly.

“You can!”

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan’s deep and intense eyes seemed to be flowing with molten lava. He then carried her horizontally and quickly brought her to the presidential suite on the top floor.

The room was dark as Bo Jingyan laid her on the bed and leaned in to kiss her.

Soon, the room was filled with sounds that made cheeks flush and hearts palpitate.

Even the moon disappeared into the clouds, leaving only the exquisiteness of the room.

Afterward, Bo Jingyan held Xia Qingtian possessively, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Xia Qingtian was also tired, and she found a comfortable position in his arms and fell asleep.

Not long after, she suddenly felt a painful sensation in her abdomen.

Xia Qingtian woke up in alarm, her face turning pale as the pain in her stomach continued. Could something have happened to the child in her stomach?

With that thought, she looked at Bo Jingyan in a panic, wanting to wake him up.

But Bo Jingyan was emanating a strong smell of alcohol and there was a deep fatigue on his face.

Recalling how he had not only been busy with the company but also accompanying her for the banquet preparations and how he had been overburdened every day, she could not bear to wake him up.

Fortunately, her stomach pain was not too severe.

So, Xia Qingtian carefully got up without waking Bo Jingyan.

She put on her clothes, left a kiss on Bo Jingyan’s forehead, and left the room.

She hailed a taxi outside and went to the hospital alone.

From a distance…

Someone was watching her leave, a strange light flashing in their eyes.

…

The next day…

Bo Jingyan woke up with a splitting headache. He was about to get out of the bed when he suddenly noticed a woman beside him.

He instinctively thought it was Xia Qingtian, not paying much attention to her. As he sat up, he rubbed his temple to ease the headache.

The woman beside him seemed to have been woken up by him. Her voice lazy and flattering, she said, “Good morning, Mr. Bo!”

Recognizing that the voice wasn’t Xia Qingtian’s, Bo Jingyan turned to look, and found out it was–

Chen Momo!!!

His reaction was to kick Chen Momo off the bed.

His face darkened, “Chen Momo, how did you end up on my bed?”

Wrapped in the blanket, Chen Momo fell from the bed. She looked at Bo Jingyan with a grieved expression, “Mr. Bo, don’t you remember what happened last night?”

Without waiting for Bo Jingyan to reply, she continued rapidly, “Last night, you held on to me and wouldn’t let me leave, then…”

She did not finish the sentence, instead, she purposely lifted the blanket to reveal suggestive marks on her body, proving her words with evidence.

Bo Jingyan frowned, “Impossible, I clearly remember that I was with Xia Qingtian last night!”

Even though he was drunk, he somewhat remembered that the person with him was always Xia Qingtian and they even danced by the fountain.

Could he remember it wrong?

Chen Momo felt guilty when she heard his words.

Nothing had actually happened between them.

After Xia Qingtian had taken a drunk Bo Jingyan away from her last night, she intended to drive home in a bad mood, but her car wouldn’t start.

After struggling for a long time, she finally decided to give up and take a taxi home when…

She saw Xia Qingtian leaving the hotel in a taxi.

Chen Momo realized that Bo Jingyan was alone again.

With a few tricks, she not only learned where Bo Jingyan was staying but also obtained the room card and sneaked in.

Bo Jingyan, drunk, was sound asleep. And the suggestive marks on his skin, which was outside the blanket, clearly showed what had just happened.

She also wanted to be Bo Jingyan’s woman.

But she was afraid that if she woke Bo Jingyan up and his drunkenness wore off, or even if he was semi-awake, she would be chased away.

To be safe, Chen Momo undressed and made some suggestive marks on her body. She climbed under the blanket, pretending like something had happened between them last night.

She had thought about all the scenarios and prepared for them, not sleeping the whole night.

Satisfied that there were no flaws in her story, she felt somewhat relieved and said calmly,

“You were with Qingtian at the start, but she left due to some matter. I was worried about you being uncomfortable from drinking too much with no one to take care of you, so I came to take care of you. I didn’t expect you to mistake me for Qingtian. I could not push you away.”

After speaking, she looked at Bo Jingyan affectionately, “Mr. Bo, I really like you. Even if you treat me as a replacement for Qingtian, I don’t mind!!!”

Her reasoning was logical, but Bo Jingyan still felt that something was not right.

He wore his clothes expressionlessly and told Chen Momo, “You can go first. I will investigate this matter and find you when the results are out.”

Chen Momo didn’t receive his assurance, and was somewhat unhappy but she did not dare to fuss.

Most importantly, she was slightly guilty and anxious. Even though she was prepared for all situations, she was still afraid that she wouldn’t be able to deceive Bo Jingyan who was as cunning as a fox.

After pondering carefully, she found no flaws in her story and felt somewhat relieved.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Chen Momo nodded, got dressed and left.

Meanwhile, Bo Jingyan went to the hotel management to ask for the surveillance footage from last night.
