Chapter 430: Taking the Blame for Her_1
Bo Jingyan cast a piercing gaze at Shi Qian.
"Did you answer my call? Has my phone been with you all along?" he didn’t beat around the bush, but directly questioned her.
A flicker of avoidance passed through Shi Qian’s expression, with a hint of guilt flashing through her heart.
However, she quickly regained her composure, and responded with a puzzled look, "Brother Jingyan, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."
Bo Jingyan wasn’t about to let her off the hook or give her a chance to play dumb. He made his suspicions clear: "The day before I left on a business trip, Xia Qingtian called me. You answered it, and then my phone went missing. Dare you say that my phone is not with you?"
Upon finishing, his gaze toward Shi Qian grew colder.
Shi Qian seemed to realize something and suddenly wore a surprised look, "Oh, I remember now. I’ve been busy working lately. I wouldn’t have remembered if you hadn’t mentioned it."
"Why did you answer my call? And why did you say something to Xia Qingtian that could easily be misunderstood?" Bo Jingyan’s deep eyes were fixed on her, as if he sought to see right through her.
Under his stare, Shi Qian quickly lost ground, not daring to meet his gaze.
She looked down, not daring to look at Bo Jingyan’s eyes, yet maintained a calm tone, "I found your phone that day, and I was about to return it to you, but you were showering, so I couldn’t go in. That’s when Sister Qingtian called. I thought maybe it was something urgent, so I answered for you."
"After I answered the call, I told her truthfully that you were showering, and said if she had something urgent, she could tell me and I could relay the message, or she could call back later."
