Chapter 854: The Secret Can’t Be Kept
Xia Qingtian knew Huo Qilin wouldn’t do anything to harm her, it was Bo Jingyan’s reaction that was overblown.
She patted Bo Jingyan on the shoulder, signaling him to step aside.
Bo Jingyan understood her gesture, but gave Huo Qilin one last warning glance before reluctantly moving aside. However, he didn’t go far, still maintaining a protector’s stance beside her.
Xia Qingtian ignored him and turned to Huo Qilin, replying, "I had an incident a few days ago and was hospitalized for a few days, so I couldn’t come to the office or answer calls."
As for why her phone was unreachable.
It was all because of Bo Jingyan. He was worried that the company would call her about work and disturb her recovery, so he took her phone away and didn’t allow her to answer calls randomly. She had no idea that Huo Qilin had tried to call her.
Yet, to save Bo Jingyan some face, she didn’t spell it out directly.
Hearing her response, Huo Qilin suppressed the tumult in his eyes and asked with concern, "What happened to you? Why were you hospitalized all of a sudden?"
"It’s nothing serious, just some superficial injuries. I’m fine now." Regarding being kidnapped by Shen Junru and Shi Qian, she didn’t want to elaborate and chose to give a vague answer.
Huo Qilin could tell she didn’t want to delve deeper and didn’t press further.
