Chapter 272: Chapter 272: He Can’t Accept It_1 Chapter 272: Chapter 272: He Can’t Accept It_1 Xia Qingtian opened her mouth, about to speak.

But then she hesitated. While the yoga instructor was indeed accurate, Chen Momo did indeed have a pregnancy report. However, without any concrete evidence, she couldn’t accuse Chen Momo of lying, could she?

So she swallowed the word she was about to say.

She would wait until she had solid evidence to speak up.

Thinking this, Xia Qingtian shook her head, “It’s okay, I was just waiting for you.”

“Sorry…” Bo Jingyan said in front of her, turning his phone into airplane mode. “I’ll accompany you in practicing yoga and won’t answer any calls again.”

He then took Xia Qingtian’s hand and entered the yoga room.

After the class, Xia Qingtian was covered in sweat, but she didn’t feel tired. Instead, she felt an unprecedented relaxation.

It seemed that Mr. Bo’s recommendation was indeed right.

After returning home that evening, she went to bed early, and, surprisingly, her legs didn’t cramp.

After finishing his work, Bo Jingyan was about to go back to his room to keep Xia Qingtian company, but suddenly his phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID, answered the phone, and the sound of his voice restrained something as he asked, “Did you find out whether Xia Qingtian was the woman from the Imperial Hotel that night?”

The other party was silent for a second before answering, “No.”

“But, we accidentally found some other information which you might find interesting.”

“What?” asked Bo Jingyan, his handsome eyebrows furrowed.

“It’s about the itinerary of Mr. Shen Yaxuan on the night you asked about,” came the reply.

Bo Jingyan suddenly realized something. His voice became slightly hoarse, “So, he wasn’t in the Imperial Hotel at that time?”

“He wasn’t!” the man replied respectfully, “I’ve already put together his entire itinerary that night and sent it to your email.”

Bo Jingyan immediately opened his email and quickly saw Shen Yaxuan’s itinerary for that night.

After reading it, an inscrutable gleam flickered in his deep eyes.

Very good!

Shen Yaxuan was quite busy that night. He didn’t even meet Xia Qingtian, and didn’t have the time to do anything with her.

So, Shen Yaxuan was indeed lying!

The child in Xia Qingtian’s belly can’t possibly be his!!!

“You continue the investigation, not only to find out who the woman from the Imperial Hotel was, but also to investigate who is the real father of the child in Xia Qingtian’s belly.” Bo Jingyan ordered solemnly.

He had a strong premonition that the woman he had been with at the Imperial Hotel that night was Xia Qingtian.

He was going to get to the bottom of this!

…

After a good night’s sleep.

When Xia Qingtian woke up the next day she felt refreshed.

After Bo Jingyan went to work, she decided to confront Qian Wenbin again.

Soon, she met him.

Over the past few days, following her orders, the bodyguards had allowed Qian Wenbin only to drink water, and gave him no food at all. Now, he looked extremely worn out. He didn’t need to be restrained anymore as there was no worry he’d run away.

That was Xia Qingtian’s punishment for Qian Wenbin for his non-cooperation, and a show of her power.

After being hungry for a few days, Qian Wenbin had come to terms with his reality. He understood that these bodyguards were all following this woman’s orders.

So, he looked at Xia Qingtian with pleading eyes, his tone humble, “I am starved. Can I have some food?”

Xia Qingtian had anticipated this. She clapped her hands, and the bodyguard brought in a large spread of delicious food, placed not far from Qian Wenbin.

Qian Wenbin’s eyes lit up instantly. Had it not been for the bodyguards blocking him, he would have lunged at the food without any care for his image.

“Hungry?” Xia Qingtian asked with a smile.

Qian Wenbin’s gaze was locked on the food. He absent-mindedly nodded his head, “Hungry.”

“You can eat, but you have to cooperate. I ask, you answer,” Xia Qingtian glanced at him, negotiating the terms with him. “Can you do that?”

Qian Wenbin knew what she was going to ask, so even though he was drooling with hunger, he kept his mouth shut.

Xia Qingtian saw how protective he was of Chen Momo, which further strengthened her suspicion.

She probably already knew the secret hidden between Chen Momo and Qian Wenbin.

“Go ahead and eat,” she kindly said.

Qian Wenbin didn’t know what other tricks this woman was planning, but he couldn’t resist the temptation and pounced onto the food.

With her hand propping her chin, Xia Qingtian waited until he slowed down his eating before saying, “The reason you protect Chen Momo so much, and refuse to betray her, is because the child in her belly is yours, isn’t it?”

Chen Momo had been panicked when the yoga instructor pointed out the timeline of her pregnancy was wrong. That only proved Chen Momo’s guilt.

Why was she guilty? Of course, it was because there was something amiss with her pregnancy timeline.

The only plausible explanation was that the pregnancy test result could have been tampered with.

Why would she tamper it? The only explanation was that the child in her belly had to have been conceived at a specific time. And this specific time should have been the day she slept with Bo Jingyan.

Therefore, the child in Chen Momo’s belly wasn’t Bo Jingyan’s.

That’s why she had taken so much trouble to maintain this façade.

The reason for Qian Wenbin not betraying her despite all the coercion from her was also reasonably explained.

“Cough… Cough…” Qian Wenbin choked on his food out of shock and began to cough violently.

It was only after he coughed until his eyes were teary that he finally stopped, his face wary as he looked at Xia Qingtian, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Xia Qingtian smirked slightly, “Whether you understand or not doesn’t matter. You just need to know, in today’s society, technology is incredibly advanced and convenient. Even if the child hasn’t been born yet, an amniocentesis can still be done to extract the baby’s DNA.”

“I just need a strand of your hair, compare its DNA to that of the baby in Chen Momo’s belly, and we will know if you have blood ties with the baby.”

Even though Qian Wenbin had eaten his fill, his face turned even paler after hearing this.

He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he could say nothing.

Xia Qingtian didn’t mind, “When it comes to that point, of course, things will be blown out of proportion. You and Chen Momo were so audacious, daring to make Bo Jingyan, the CEO of the Bo Group, the scapegoat and have him raise your child. You’re really asking for trouble!”

“Bo Jingyan is known for his ruthless methods. What do you think he’ll do to you? Crush every bone in your body, inch by inch, skin and debone you, until even death seems like a luxury.”

Qian Wenbin trembled at this.

He looked at Xia Qingtian, nearly breaking down, “What do you want?”

He didn’t believe that this woman would tell him all this just to scare him and show him how pitiful his end would be.

Xia Qingtian looked at his pale face and dilated pupils from fear, and realized that the time was almost right.
