1 Chapter 1: Must Bear Mr. Bo's Child _1

"Shen Qing, did you come to the Imperial Hotel last night as I asked to discuss our divorce?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was Bo Jingyan's.

Moreover, he was using her former name.

Xia Qingtian's mind went blank, and she was so scared she almost dropped her phone.

"I... I did not."

Before she could finish her sentence, the call ended.

Xia Qingtian was in a bit of a mess.

"Ring ring--"

Her phone suddenly started ringing again, startling Xia Qingtian.

On checking, she found out it was a call from Bo Jingyan's grandfather!

Bo's grandfather said he wanted her to come to the old house for lunch with him.

Considering that her father was still sick, Xia Qingtian was about to refuse, but her father overheard the phone call and insisted she had to agree.

Xia Qingtian had no choice but to consent.

"Absolutely not divorce!"

"After seeing Bo Junior, you must try to bear his child. Only in these circumstances can you peacefully stay in the Bo family, understand?"

Xia Qingtian was helpless, with her father's nagging ringing in her ears.

Her father's company was in trouble and needed to lean on the Bo family, the massive tree. He wanted her not to divorce Bo Jingyan at this critical moment.

But how was she supposed to start the conversation and postpone the divorce?

By noon, she arrived at the old Bo house.

As soon as she entered the hall, Xia Qingtian immediately noticed Bo's grandfather in the tearoom, wearing a silver-embroidered Tang suit, looking sprightly.

On seeing her, Bo's grandfather's cloudy eyes seemed to clear up a bit, "Qingqing, I am so glad you're back!"

Xia Qingtian sat across him with a smile, immediately taking the initiative to make tea for him and softly calling, "Grandfather."

Bo's grandfather was watching her elegant and practiced movements and thinking about her and Bo Jingyan.

"Qingqing, your grandfather knows that being a couple is a gift of destiny. You have been studying abroad these years and have spent little time together with Jingyan. Now that you're finally back, shouldn't you two bolster your relationship more?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian's movements abruptly ceased.

She was not even close to Bo Jingyan, how could they bolster their relationship?

Seeing her silent, Bo's grandfather subtly shifted his gaze towards the upper floor, quietly suggesting, "Qingqing, the book I read this morning is on the study table. Could you go and fetch it for me?"

"Alright."

Xia Qingtian nodded.

When she got to the study, she found the door was slightly ajar and was about to push it open...

"I despise those who backtrack on commitments. Tell them to get lost tomorrow!"

Bo Jingyan's voice suddenly came from inside the study room, causing Xia Qingtian's hand to tremble instinctively as she hastily grabbed the doorknob.

Backtracking on commitments...

She had agreed to divorce him before coming back to the country, and now wanted to reconsider. Would Bo Jingyan also expel her?

With these thoughts, her heart started pounding anxiously.

"Who?!"

Bo Jingyan had heard a noise, his brows creased in annoyance.

He got up, ready to go out when his hand accidentally knocked over a coffee cup on the table.

Coffee splashed on the cuff of his shirt, causing his expression to darken.

Bo Jingyan was a clean freak.

Suppressing his discomfort, he took off his shirt.

The sound of movement inside panicked Xia Qingtian so much that her heart felt as if it was about to leap right out of her chest.

She did not want to face him right now, she did not want to talk about divorce at a time when the Xia family was in trouble...

Just as Xia Qingtian was planning to flee, something inside the room caught her eye, and she promptly covered her mouth in shock--
