Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Sweet into the Heart_1 Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Sweet into the Heart_1 At this moment, Bo Jingyan looked fierce, but Xia Qingtian felt a sweetness in her heart, richer than the cotton candy Bo Jingyan had made for her by hand.
“Okay, I got it!” She nodded heavily.
Only then did Bo Jingyan’s face soften, he pulled her into his arms and joked, “Continue sleeping, and if your leg cramps again, remember to call me.”
“Okay!” Xia Qingtian found a comfortable position in his arms and fell asleep.
During the night, she had two leg cramps. Before she could call, Bo Jingyan awoke in alarm, massaging her legs to alleviate the pain brought by the cramps.
She felt immensely delighted at heart.
The next day.
Xia Qingtian was awakened by a phone ringing.
She answered the phone groggily, and on the other end was Grandfather Bo. He said that someone had invited her to a charity auction and he wanted to accompany her, and take the occasion as a pleasant diversion.
Having nothing to do at home, Xia Qingtian agreed to go.
Grandfather Bo asked her to dress up. He would pick her up to attend the auction in half an hour.
After that, the call ended.
Only then did Xia Qingtian fully awaken, and instinctively looked at the spot beside her.
Bo Jingyan was not there. The spot where he had lain was empty; there was only a post-it note left for her at the head of the bed. It said he had gone to work, and if she had leg cramps during the day, she should ask the maid for help.
Remembering last night, Xia Qingtian happily kept the note and got up to get dressed. She also had a light breakfast.
Half an hour later, Grandfather Bo arrived, along with Chen Momo.
Seeing Chen Momo, a flash of displeasure crossed Xia Qingtian’s face.
Grandfather Bo noticed she was a bit unhappy, so he explained it to her.
It turned out that he had planned to bring only her to the charity auction. However, Chen Momo, with tears in her eyes, said she wanted to broaden her horizons.
There wasn’t much choice, he had to bring her along in the end.
Xia Qingtian wouldn’t blame Grandfather Bo, who was so good to her, so she decided to ignore Chen Momo.
She took a seat in the car next to Grandfather Bo, smiled and said, “It’s okay, grandpa. Having one more person can contribute more to charity.”
“Qingqing understands the big picture.” Grandfather Bo replied, with a loving smile.
Soon, they arrived at the charity auction.
Grandfather Bo patted her hand warmly and openly showed his favoritism. “Qingqing, there are many good things at today’s charity auction. If you see anything you like, tell me and I’ll buy it for you.”
“Sure, thank you, grandpa.” Xia Qingtian didn’t reject his kindness.
Chen Momo was trailing behind. Seeing Grandfather Bo only saying he would buy things for Xia Qingtian and didn’t even mention her, as if forgetting her existence.
“Grandpa…” She felt quite resentful and reminded him that there was one more person here.
“What’s the matter?” Grandfather Bo glanced at her.
Chen Momo realized that it was not that he forgot her existence, but deliberately ignored her. He was only willing to buy things for Xia Qingtian, but not for her.
Such blatant favoritism was eating her up inside.
“No, nothing.” She trembled slightly and couldn’t say anything.
If she asked for these things, she would be seen as greedy, coveting things that did not belong to her.
Grandfather Bo’s actions were meant to reprimand her.
Although he agreed to keep the baby, it did not mean she, Chen Momo, could replace Xia Qingtian’s place.
With these thoughts, Chen Momo was filled with resentment for him.
Grandfather Bo could see through her thoughts but that was the effect he wanted. “If there’s nothing, let’s continue.”
With that, he took Xia Qingtian’s hand and entered the auction venue.
As soon as Grandfather Bo entered, many people came to greet him, including — Shen Yaxuan!
“Grandfather Bo, long time no see.” Shen Yaxuan stepped forward and said with a smile, “I didn’t attend your last birthday banquet because I was injured. I hope you won’t be offended.”
Grandfather Bo didn’t know about the falling out between him and Bo Jingyan. He still thought they were best friends.
“Although you weren’t there, I received your gift. I really liked the antique vase you sent me.” He said kindly, then asked with concern, “How’s your recovery?”
Shen Yaxuan patted his chest, “Don’t worry, Grandfather Bo, I’ve fully recovered.”
Grandfather Bo still regarded him as his own grandson and exhorted him, “Even if you’re better, you need to rest more and recover your strength. Work is never-ending. You cannot neglect your health for work.”
“Sure.” Shen Yaxuan obediently agreed.
After Grandfather Bo gave some more advice, which Shen Yaxuan obediently listened to, he then turned to Xia Qingtian. “Qingtian, how have you been?”
Xia Qingtian had complicated feelings for Shen Yaxuan. She couldn’t forgive his deception, or the plotting against her with Chen Momo.
But the last time she was pushed by Qian Wenbin in the bar, if he hadn’t sent her to the hospital in time, she wouldn’t be standing here now.
In the end, she replied in a calm voice, “I’m doing well.”
Seeing her willing to converse with him again, Shen Yaxuan’s eyes revealed a glimmer of joy.
He didn’t ask for much, as long as Xia Qingtian would talk to him normally and give him a chance to protect her silently, that was already enough.
After the group chatted for a while, the charity auction began.
Shen Yaxuan didn’t leave, he just stayed next to Grandfather Bo and Xia Qingtian.
As Grandfather Bo had said, there were indeed many impressive items at the charity auction. Among them was a very rare pink diamond, the only one of its kind in the world.
Grandfather Bo outbid everyone with a staggering amount and won the pink diamond. He also won numerous limited-edition handbags and jade jewelry.
After the auction ended, Grandfather Bo immediately gave the pink diamond to Xia Qingtian, “Qingqing, this is for you.”
Xia Qingtian waved her hands continuously, “Grandpa, you’ve already given me so many things. You should keep this diamond. I don’t have any grand occasions to use it.”
Grandfather Bo disagreed, “This is something to play with, it is not meant solely for important occasions.”
Xia Qingtian was still hesitant to accept it.
“If you really don’t like it, then just throw it away.” Grandfather Bo said in a domineering tone.
