Chapter 264: Chapter 264: He is Jealous_1 Chapter 264: Chapter 264: He is Jealous_1 Bo Jingyan received a message from Chen Momo, stating that they were having dinner with Shen Yaxuan at a restaurant.

Upon seeing the message, his gaze instantly turned gloomily, then he turned his car around and headed towards the restaurant.

Soon, he arrived.

He walked into the restaurant and instantly spotted the people he was looking for.

They seemed to have finished eating and the old patriarch of the Bo family was settling the bill.

Shen Yaxuan said something, which made Xia Qingtian and the old patriarch Bo laugh.

Xia Qingtian is now carrying Shen Yaxuan’s child. The two of them appear to be just like an ordinary loving couple when they are together, laughing and talking. His existence felt like a stumbling block preventing their family reunion.

At this thought, Bo Jingyan’s heart was filled with a sour and bitter feeling. Jealousy was eating away at his heart, making his face turn grim.

Apart from Chen Momo, no one else noticed Bo Jingyan.

Once the bill was settled, everyone got up to leave.

Xia Qingtian barely stood up when she suddenly tripped on something. She stumbled slightly, narrowly avoiding hitting her belly on the table. Thanks to Shen Yaxuan’s quick reflexes, he pulled her back in time.

Her face turned pale and she was about to push away Shen Yaxuan’s hand when suddenly…

“Let go!!!”

A cold and dark voice sounded.

Before Xia Qingtian could react, she felt a tight grip on her arm, and then she was pulled several steps backwards, falling into sturdy, broad arms that exuded a faint cold aura.

When Xia Qingtian turned her head, she realized it was Bo Jingyan!

“You, when did you get here?” she asked with surprise.

Bo Jingyan couldn’t hold it in any longer. Even if Xia Qingtian and the child in her belly were a family of three with Shen Yaxuan, so what?

Xia Qingtian can only be his woman!

He wanted to break up their family of three!!!

With this thought in mind, he coldly glanced at Xia Qingtian, “What, you believe I shouldn’t have come?”

Xia Qingtian noticed his icy attitude and felt it was strange.

Wasn’t Bo Jingyan fine last night?

He was aware of her fear of thunder and came back in the middle of the night to accompany her during a rainstorm. He even massaged her when she had a leg cramp.

What happened today?

Before she could figure it out, the old patriarch Bo felt uncomfortable, “Boy, why are you talking to Qingtian like that?”

Then, he turned his gaze towards Xia Qingtian anxiously, “Qingtian, are you okay?”

Xia Qingtian shook her head, “Fortunately, Shen Yaxuan held me in time, I’m fine.”

As soon as her words fell, she felt the hand holding her arm tighten, causing her a little pain.

“Ouch!” she cried out softly.

As if awakening from a dream, Bo Jingyan released his grip. He said expressionlessly, “Let’s go, I’ll drive you home.”

With that, he led Xia Qingtian out of the restaurant first.

Chen Momo immediately supported the arm of the old patriarch Bo and followed.

In Bo Jingyan’s car, the old patriarch Bo rolled down the window and said to Shen Yaxuan, “Yaxuan, whenever you’re free, come visit the old house and play a few rounds of chess with this old man.”

Before Shen Yaxuan could respond, Bo Jingyan had already started the car and stepped on the gas pedal.

The old patriarch Bo noticed something was off and studied Bo Jingyan, who was driving, “Jingyan, what’s going on between you and Yaxuan?”

Bo Jingyan didn’t want to worry him, and he knew some things were hard to hide, so he answered half-truthfully, “Nothing much, we had a minor conflict over a project.”

If he claimed nothing happened, the old patriarch Bo would not believe him. After all, he was not blind and couldn’t see that there was an issue between the two.

Since Bo Jingyan admitted to a conflict, the old patriarch Bo advised him not to let minor issues drive a wedge between them and break up their brotherly bond.

“I know,” Bo Jingyan casually answered.

He and Shen Yaxuan could never reconcile in this lifetime.

Soon, they returned to the old house.

As it was getting late, the old patriarch Bo suggested they stay overnight at the old house and not bother returning home.

Thinking of how the old patriarch Bo felt uncomfortable on the roadside today, Xia Qingtian decided to stay at the old house to keep him company for a while longer, so she agreed.

After getting ready for bed that night, she was about to fall asleep when all of a sudden…

Xia Qingtian wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but it seemed like the little one in her belly had just moved slightly.

She immediately called out in astonishment, “Jingyan, Bo Jingyan…”

Bo Jingyan quickly came over, looking at her somewhat anxiously, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

Xia Qingtian touched her belly in disbelief, “The baby in my belly… it seemed to have moved just now. Can you touch it and see if it’s my imagination or real?”

This event was genuinely surprising for her. The baby should begin moving between four to six months of pregnancy, but the child in her belly had not made any movements at all.

If it wasn’t for her regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital, with the doctor repeatedly confirming that the baby was in good health, she would have thought something happened to the baby in her belly.

It seemed like the baby had indeed just moved!!!

In excitement, Xia Qingtian grabbed Bo Jingyan’s hand and placed it on her belly, “You…”

Before she could finish speaking, Bo Jingyan abruptly pulled his hand away.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Qingtian looked at him in confusion.

When Bo Jingyan saw her bulging belly, he remembered how she had laughed and chatted with Shen Yaxuan at the restaurant. He immediately felt unhappy, his heart was full of anger and jealousy.

He cared that the child in Xia Qingtian’s belly was not his, and cared even more that the child was Shen Yaxuan’s!!!

He didn’t want to touch Xia Qingtian’s belly, and he didn’t want to know if the baby had just moved.

However, he knew if Xia Qingtian learned of his thoughts, she would be heartbroken.

He didn’t want to upset her, so he quickly dropped the subject, “I suddenly remembered there’s some work left for me to do at the company. You should rest.”

With that, he left.

Watching his hastily retreating back, Xia Qingtian was lost in thought.

Why did Bo Jingyan give her the impression that he was repulsed by the child in her belly just now?

It must have been her imagination, right?

The misunderstanding between her and Bo Jingyan had already been cleared up, he knew that the child in her belly was his own flesh and blood, how could he possibly hate the child?

There must really be work to be done at the company!

With that thought, Xia Qingtian completely relaxed and let go of the small blip that had just happened. She focused all her attention on the baby in her belly.

“Baby, I’m your mom. Did you just move?”

“Move one more time for me.”

But no matter what she said, there was no response from her belly.

…

Bo Jingyan came out of the room with a grave expression and called out anxiously, “Come out for a drink.”

After hanging up the phone, he left the old house without noticing someone quietly following him.
